Along the way, she meets Goku and convinces him to join her adventure, becoming one of his closest friends. While she does not fight herself, Bulma plays a crucial role in the story by helping Goku and his friends with her inventions, ideas, and support, even when facing huge dangers or villains.

Bulma can act rashly, even shooting at Goku when scared.
She grew up as a rich city girl, so she sometimes struggles with Goku’s wild ways and prefers city life.

As she gets older, Bulma becomes more mature, providing steady support to Goku and others with her skills and resources.
After marrying Vegeta and having children, she becomes a loving wife and caring mother.
Even as an adult, Bulma still likes fashion and often tries different clothes and hairstyles.
Sometimes her fashion choices seem a bit strange to her friends.
Bulma is the daughter of Dr. Briefs, the president and inventor at Capsule Corporation, and his cheerful wife.
She has an older sister named Tights, who is over ten years older.
Bulma was smart from a young age, fixing spaceships and inventing gadgets even as a child.

With Goku
Even though Bulma is the main heroine, she is never romantically involved with Goku.
They start as travel companions and later become close friends.
In early adventures, there are lots of silly and embarrassing moments, like Goku walking in on Bulma’s bath or accidentally removing her underwear while she’s sleeping.
Both Bulma and Goku find other partners—Bulma dates Yamcha, then marries Vegeta; Goku marries Chi-Chi.
Even so, Bulma and Goku remain lifelong friends.
Bulma is one of the few people who can honestly give advice or scold super-strong fighters like Goku, Vegeta, and Piccolo.
With Family
Her father is Dr. Briefs, her mother is Ms. Briefs, and her big sister is Tights.
They all live together at Capsule Corporation.
Bulma is the most responsible family member.
Bulma dated Yamcha for years but finally broke up because of constant arguments and his flirting.
Even then, they stay good friends.
Later, Bulma falls for Vegeta while he is staying at her home after escaping from Namek.
She and Vegeta have a son, Trunks, and later a daughter, Bra.

Bulma always supports Vegeta and even builds him advanced training rooms and new battle suits.
They sometimes fight, but their bond is strong, and she is a caring wife and mom.

Her family’s names are also based on underwear (for example, her sister is Tights).
Bulma cannot cook well; she often makes Oolong do it or orders food.
She is famous for bold and sometimes risky behavior: showing off her underwear, changing outfits, or teasing her friends.
Although Bulma does not fight herself, even powerful characters like Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and even the god Beerus cannot handle her when she’s angry or determined.
In many video games, she appears as a support character rather than a fighter.
"Let me be clear: The most important thing in the world is my own life! What about you?!"

Meeting Goku
In the mountains, Bulma nearly runs over Goku with her car.
At first, she thinks he’s a weird monster, but they soon team up.
Goku has the four-star Dragon Ball, but he won’t give it to her because it’s a memento from his grandpa.
To convince him, she promises to return his Dragon Ball after making her wish and brings him along as a partner.
She hopes to use him as a bodyguard and helper, as Goku is super strong.
Journey for the Dragon Balls
Bulma and Goku meet many allies and face many villains—like the Red Ribbon Army and Jinzouningen 18-gou—on their search.
Bulma's inventions often save the day, and her quick thinking helps the group escape danger.
Although she cannot fight, her courage and ideas are important to their success.

She later has a daughter, Bra.
Even though Vegeta is tough and proud, he cares deeply for Bulma and their family.
Bulma appears in many Dragon Ball video games, mostly as a helper or support character.
In some games, she can use a gun or bazooka, but her main role is boosting her friends or inventing special tools.
She is also the model for several characters in spinoffs or parodies.
Bulma’s bravery and constant energy make her one of the most memorable characters in Dragon Ball.
She might not be the strongest in battle, but some say that, in her own way, she is the strongest in the universe!
