Bulma Dragon Ball - Figures

Dragon Ball is a household name in Japan and is widely known abroad as potentially one of the most famous manga of all time. With the manga's first appearance in Shonen Jump magazine in 1984 and an anime adaptation airing from 1986, Dragon Ball became an instant hit in Japan with over 160,000,000 volumes sold as of 2016. Dragon Ball increased Weekly Shonen Jump's average circulation from 6.53 million weekly sales to a total circulation of over 2.9 billion between 1984 and 1995. The story begins with a small boy with a strong tail ( Son Goku ) and his encounter with a young girl (Bulma) while driving. Goku attacks the car, thinking it is a monster, when in fact it is Bulma who is looking for the crystal balls. After a back-and-forth, Bulma manages to persuade Goku to join her in her search. Bulma is a key character in the Dragon Ball world and has saved the day on numerous occasions. Some excellent examples of Bulma figures include "SCultures Big Figure Colosseum 7 Vol. 5: Bulma", "Glitter & Glamours Bulma Vol. 2", and "Figure-rise Mechanics Dragon Ball Z Bulma's Variable No. 19 Bike".

Giant Dragon Ball Z SCultures Colosseum 7 Vol. 5 Figures: Bulma Figure

Bulma is undoubtedly one of the cutest manga characters ever put to paper. Her proportions are relatively realistic, with the exception of her enormous manga-style eyes. This gives her an image closer to that of other characters such as Monster Carrot or the police chief. This is Bulma's very first costume. Simple but endearing, it consists of a pink jumpsuit, a purple scarf, and purple boots and socks. However, her red ribbon and blue hair break the theme by adding some variation. True to the series, Bulma holds a dragon radar in one gloved hand.

About Bulma

Bulma is the second protagonist in the Dragon Ball story. Since her debut in the very first issue, she has seen more than her fair share of action, whether fighting Pilaf and his henchmen or the Red Ribbon Army. Usually in a support role, often using different technologies to help the Dragon Ball Seekers continue their quest for the dragon balls.

Background

Hailing from West City, Bulma is the daughter of Capsule Corporation owner Dr. Briefs and his wife Mrs. Briefs, and the younger sister of Tights. She has a genius-level intellect and is responsible for making the first-ever Dragon Radar. She is also the second human Goku has ever seen, aside from Grandpa Gohan, and the first friend he ever made. She initially decided to seek out the Dragon Balls in order to wish for an infinite supply of strawberries, but later changed her mind and decided she would wish for a boyfriend instead. Bulma is the most prominent female character in the series and has been a part of the story for as long as Goku, or even longer depending on the origin stories, as Bulma is slightly older.

Special Abilities

Bulma can invent almost anything. She has a wide assortment of capsules for a variety of situations. Not only does she have vehicle capsules, but she also has a whole-house capsule that the team used during their trip and also in a cave on Planet Namek. Bulma also converted the scouter after Radtiz's attack, and reverse-engineered and crafted a new and improved Saiyan armor after the Planet Namek Saga. She is also extremely strong-willed, eventually being able to somewhat control her husband Vegeta and having the audacity to slap the God of Destruction Beer in the face at his birthday party.

Other important characters in Dragon Ball

As for Bulma, even though she has always been relevant in the series since the very first chapter and has formed relationships with a large number of characters, there are two that particularly come to mind: her friend Son Goku and her son Trunks.

Son Goku

Son Goku was just a lonely little boy living in the mountains until he was hit by Bulma's car. Thinking she had killed him, his panic was short-lived as he quickly got up and crushed her car with his electric pole. This caused Bulma to panic and shoot him with a gun, to little effect. The two clear up the misunderstanding, with Bulma explaining that she is actually not a monster but a girl, and Goku explaining that he lived in the mountains with his grandfather until a monster killed him. Goku then discovers what a girl is and how they are different from boys, in a rather humorous way.

The trunks

Trunks is Bulma and Vegeta's son. He is first seen when Frieza arrives on Earth with his father, King Cold, in search of Goku. Of course, this Trunks is a teenage version of the character from the future. Trunks was born sometime before the androids appeared. He can be seen as a baby during the Android and Cell sagas and as a child during the Majin Buu saga. He appears again in Dragon Ball Super , again from the future.
