[@Sp3llmen]

I love Bulma as a character. She's one of the most respected characters in the entire show. An even more, someone touching bulma could put every Z fighter over the edge because she's easily the reason all of them got to have even a moment of peace in their lives. Most characters in the show were villians or just mean except for Goku, and Roshi basically. She's Goku's first friend besides grandpa Gohan, and Goku is one of hers. I love their small interactions where she defends him even if he's doing something stupid because she knows him better then anyone on a personal level. Its cute.

One of my favorite aspects of Bulma is how she easily tames beings who could destroy her with a single thought. She domesticated both Vegeta AND the God of Destruction Beerus, and is best friends with an actual angel. Super Hero wasn't too far off, Bulma is pretty much the leader and the mastermind of the team.

It would be dope if Goku acknowledged Bulma's role in his life, from the beginning. Have a sweet moment between them, show how their friendship has grown over time. Give her story more of the main stage, like it deserves. Literally without her, they would've lost so many times. This character analysis was spot the fuck on. I've always felt she was the most important. I love even how her style changes so often over the course of the series, while everyone else more or less looks the same. She's the most dynamic character in the series. I wish dragon ball developed and showcased its character friendships more. There's such a rich history between everyone by now, and I wish the story would capitalize on that history. I feel like they're missing out on some good opportunities for really impactful, emotional moments to balance the typical dbz action.

[@theringmaster6434]

I’d say Grandpa Gohan was the most important, he raised Goku to be who he is today, everything from his kindness to his skill at fighting, Gohan taught him a lot. If he didn’t find Goku then he probably would’ve been killed by some wild animal since he was just a baby back then.

Damn, the panel of Imp. Cell explaining how he got into the main timeline is sad since there's a timeline where Bulma is still waiting for Trunks to get back from the future.

[@dn22pkkdd476]

Or she found a pile of clothes with an abandoned sword and wondered why her son decided to travel to the past naked and never come back. In any case that timeline has no Cell, no Androids, no Trunks. Which means no Zamasu being angred at the repeated sin of time travel by a mortal. No Super Saiyan Gods, so no Beerus waking up early chasing dreams of a new challenger. Freeza remains dead as there are now no known Dragon Balls to wish him back that his soldiers know of, the Freeza Force continues to be decimated as planets rebel, Paragus stays stuck on Vampa with Broly, Granolah probably lives out his days serving the Heaters who now rule over the remnants of Freeza's empire. Buu is either never released due to the lack of strong energy for Babidi to collect on earth, or the whole process takes much longer to complete. Either way, Universe 7 is probably taken out by a bored Zeno, an escaped Moro, or a rampaging Fat Buu. I assume if Buu or Moro get out of hand, then other universe wariors like Jiren could handle those threats before they spread. But until it's eventual end by bored gods, fat bubblegum monsters or goat wizards, Universe 7 in Cell's original timelime gets a very long stretch of undisturbed peace. Making it the best timeline outcome in all of Dragon Ball.

[@theprinnyranger]

Bulma might not be the most present character or the most... interracted with. but everything that makes Bulma.. Bulma, is creating ripples all around her. So while not directly influencing the others or the story, she is responsible for 90% of everything that happens. Though... A close second would be Grandpa Gohan that picked Goku when he was sent to Earth. Without him, there isn't much that would happen in the same way or at all. They're the two core reason that Goku is alive (bashed his head, got healed by Grandpa) and around (Bulma convinced him to lend her the dragon ball while following her around). So yeah, I agree with you. She IS the most important character in the world of Dragon Ball.

[@MimaCh]

Goku is the heart, while Bulma is more like the brain of DB universe. Bulma needs to be more appreciated

[@psychic9200]

If we're weighing importance by the gravity of a character's actions, then it'd be Kami. Bulma is incredibly relevant in the actions of the story, but her whole reason for being in the story is due to Kami creating the Dragon Balls. Both characters are great and important to the story, but everything about Bulma in this video is countered by the fact that Kami created her initial motivation. I'm sure Bulma would've still gone on to do some crazy like invent the first space ship on Earth or continue to go on and discover Time Travel but she wouldn't've met Goku

[@Xeno574]

Yeah but the story itself wouldn't have happened if Bulma hadn't found that one Dragon Ball in her basement anyway, so even if Kami had created the Dragon Balls, Bulma not trying to find the Dragon Balls would've meant that the entire story wouldn't happen the way we know it.

[@doubleoof7907]

If we look at the story from a meta-outside perspective, Kami would’ve probably not existed had the first arc of original Dragon Ball been so popular, which I’m sure is at least partially due to Bulma

[@rando339]

Sure, Bulma might've led Goku to that journey. However, Goku had a dragon Ball, meaning that anyone looking for it would go to Goku. Goku would've obviously refused, since grandpa Gohan gave it to him, and he would eventually discovery the reason of the existence of the dragon balls. He would still find ways to defeat the villains, so he wouldn't need Bulma's help.

[@Cryptic_Diamond]

If it weren’t for bulma adopting goku he would have died to the RR army bc they would likely be the only other ones who can find him

[@subzero8520]

Who else that knew of the dragon balls could make a radar? Also goku would have just stayed at the house. And disasterous things would happen if goku weren’t involved

[@antariellyons]

@@subzero8520 Pilaf did. And the red ribbon army too if I'm not lying.

[@antariellyons]

@@subzero8520 I think without Bulma the story could go somewhat the same. Goku would have probably run into turtle which would have led him to roshi granting him the nimbus. He probably would have still ran into Mai and shu who were looking for the dragon balls and scare them off and probably follow them. He probably would have also found the ox king and run into chi chi. The story could've go in any way to be honest but Bulma left her impact on it and that's okay.

[@MrGeo-EmitFodrol]

Bulma is definitely one of the most important but I can't say the most important

[@WilliamDearthwd]

8:03 Yes. Hercule/Mr. Satan one time considered Vegeta to give his 100000000 Zeni prize money, and he turned it down. Then again, he's married to the richest family on Earth.

[@wombat4191]

I'd say Bulma and Goku are kinda equally important. Just like without Bulma's tech almost none of the major events in the series could have happened, without Goku's strength most of the things that happened would have turned out badly.

[@captaink8093]

Without Bardock, the story of Goku doesn't happen, his wish made with the dragon balls and him sending kakarot to earth are the literal foundations of the story of Dragonball, it wouldn't be what it is if those events never happened. Though Bulma is also pretty important, she's probably like the second most important by a VERY small margin.

[@NateFroge]

I feel like it’s kind of a shaky argument, because you could use the same thinking for frieza. Without frieza blowing up planet vegeta, goku never would’ve been sent to earth, he’d have the saiyans as his minions, immortality and the entire universe in his grasp. And with no goku on earth, bulma probably dies trying to get the dragonballs.

[@liviekumori]

No no, he's got a point

[@trentbell8276]

Same for Beerus. If he did his job, there'd be no Frieza or Saiyans, and no Dragonball as a result.

[@beckmania1066]

Also, Bulma was the sole factor that convinced Vegeta to fuse with Goku to create Vegito/Vegetto/Vegerot/whatever and led to the defeat of Majin Buu

[@SneklySnek]

while not the most important, I do think Dr Gero is more important than many people realize. Like sure he seemingly didn't do much and mainly served as a short stepping stone for other villains to arrive, but the legacy he leaves via his creations has lasted all the way into super via Android 17+18 and other things and thus he is still leaving a mark even though he has been dead and Forgotten by pretty much every other character and even many fans

[@DarkeLourd]

2:27 Considering the Namekian Dragon Balls only speak Namekian, I don't think Frieza or Vegeta would have ever gotten their wish even if Bulma and company didn't show up on Namek. Even moreso considering Guru was already dying without Frieza's interference. Frieza would have ended up just adding another species to his genocide count and Earth's heroes would have stayed dead.

Argument: Grandpa Gohan is also important as without him goku would have kept his memories, and possibly would have conquered the planet, basically meaning NOTHING would have happened equal to dragon ball

Just the fact that several characters find purpose, grow as people, and/or go get any reason to exist the way they do because Bulma played some sort of role in their lives is reason alone why she is so important.
