Bulma Briefs

return to Ladies Bios

written by me

In 733 the beautiful blue haired genius is born into a family of wealth and power. At that point nobody had any idea that Bulma may actually be responsible for saving the world some day. Many people overlook her super important role. Without Bulma Briefs nobody would have had the destiny that they came to have. 

At the age of 16 Bulma found the 2 star dragon ball in her basement, this was the start of her journey. Before long she found the 5 star dragon ball in a cave. While off on her mission to round them all up she met Goku. Well, technically she hit him with her car. After seeing that the boy wasn’t hurt she decided to convince him to come with her, she told him it was for an adventure but really it was to be her bodyguard. She needed his strength and she needed the 4 star dragon ball atop his head. 

Bulma had a wish in mind for the dragon balls. She wanted to wish for a boyfriend. Bulma had no way of knowing that befriending that little boy with a tail would ultimately change destiny. Bulma and Goku had many adventures during Dragon Ball. A giant pterodactyl once abducted Bulma. Also, she met Turtle and that led her to Master Roshi. Roshi was smitten with Bulma (yes, he is a dirty old man and smitten by most females but Bulma is a hottie.) She had to flash him her panties to get the 3 star dragon ball (a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do). Bulma was turned into a carrot on one of their quests. 

They eventually met up with the desert bandit. Yamcha became Bulma’s boyfriend. Yamcha was a bad guy turned good – much like her future husband (I know Vegeta and Yamcha are VERY different but ya gotta admit that they both softened just a little for Bulma) Her and Yamcha spent many years together. The relationship was volatile to say the least. He lived at Capsule Corp with her for a while as well. Yamcha did not stay true to Bulma and in the end they split. 

Bulma came into Dragon Ball Z as a woman. Her role was once again crucial as she figured out how to work the scouters that the Saiyans brought. Bulma’s genius was once again a very important part of the whole picture.

She felt sad at Yamcha’s death because even though they were no longer a couple she had secretly held onto a lot of emotion for him. As she watched him die on the television she cried out for him.  Later she confessed she planned to marry him.  They never did really get back together, and eventually they developed into a close friendship. 

She learned how to speak Namekian (she is so smart!) so that she could help get the ship to the planet where they could gather the Dragon Balls of Namek. She traveled there with Gohan and Krillen. …. Bulma complained – A LOT. 

Back on Earth, after wishing back everyone that Freeza had killed, she started making eyes at Vegeta. She called him “homeboy” and that incensed him! She even said he was “kinda cute” – this did not go over well. Vegeta called her a “bonehead”.

We get really jipped by the gap in the story of how Bulma and Vegeta get together. I want this story dammit!  (And no I do NOT buy into any of the fan fics that Bulma got knocked up and he stayed because of that – Vegeta isn’t the time to stay over a brat.  It was her, it was all her.)

At some point she meets Future Trunks and has a fondness for him. She had no idea that her maternal instincts were kicking in. It’s a good thing she didn’t hit on him!!!! Also, she had no idea that she had actually been the one to send him back in time.

Bulma is a good mommy to baby Trunks. She keeps that adorable little hat on his head and always makes sure to yell at anyone who upsets the child – yes, even Vegeta. Bulma is pretty much a single mom even though Vegeta is kind of there. 

Bulma is annoyed by her husband on a regular basis but also loves him dearly. He is gone much of the time because of his need for training. After Vegeta starts hanging around more (after he met and lost Future trunks) Bulma and him get closer. She is a strong woman to live with a man who never openly shows any display of affection. She is confident enough in herself and in her relationship to be able to tolerate this. 

Bulma created Gohan’s horrible Saiyaman outfit (WHAT was she thinking with that helmet?!?!) At the tournament she was cheering for Trunks with a fierceness – her and Chi Chi exchanged quite a few words about whose son was best (to me it is soooo obvious – Vegeta’s boy is best, no offense to Goten personally) 

When Vegeta went Majin she was devastated. Watching him become evil again shattered her heart. She didn’t know where the good man she loved had gone. She persisted and did what she thought was the right thing (even when she is being loud and bitchy her heart is in the right place). She put her skills to use and began searching for the dragon balls again. She brought back the people Vegeta had killed. Bulma didn’t know that Vegeta was getting ready to make the ultimate sacrifice. Far away in a fight with Majin Buu, Vegeta declares his love for Trunks and Bulma right before blowing himself to smithereens. His death and sacrifice moved her greatly... when she was told of his death she calls out to the sky shouting his name in pain of a broken heart for her mate. Vegeta gets to come back to Earth after a while.

Vegeta and Bulma have another baby; a little girl named Bra. She looks a lot like Bulma. She acts a lot like her mom too, though her father's personality definitely shines through as well. Bulma creates the brute ray, which transforms Vegeta into a Super Saiyan 4.

We watch Bulma go through her teens, her twenties and up. Bulma changes clothes and hairstyles (15 times I think) more than anyone in the show. So what is Bulma’s great accomplishment that I mentioned at the beginning of my biography? Basically it boils down to this – if Bulma hadn’t befriended Goku they would have never been in a position to stop the bad guys and DBZ would have never existed. It's a domino effect and proves how everything happens for a reason.  Thank Kami for Bulma "Ms Bail the boys out" Briefs!
