Background / History

Bulma first meets Goku after he collides with her motorcycle while running on Mount Paozu. She introduces him to the Dragon Balls and her Dragon Radar, discovers the Four-Star Dragon Ball in Goku's home, and recruits him for her search for the remaining Dragon Balls. Their early partnership begins with travel, shared meals, and playful teasing. 2 3

During the Dragon Ball journey, Bulma repeatedly provides the group with technical support. She uses the Dragon Radar to track the balls, employs Capsules for supplies, persuades Master Roshi to hand over a Dragon Ball, and continues traveling alongside Goku despite threats from the Rabbit Gang, Pilaf's forces, and the Red Ribbon Army. 4 9 10 22

After the early adventures, Bulma develops increasingly advanced inventions for Goku's training and survival. Her Gravity Bracelets enable adjustable gravity from 1x to 100x, while her later spaceship allows Goku to travel to Planet Namek with automated operation, emergency supplies, and gravity simulation. 19 21 43 44

Her relationship with Goku develops from companionship and unspoken affection into marriage. Bulma eventually becomes pregnant, and the pair discuss names for their child, choosing “Sun Wulin” for a daughter. 65 68

Seeking youth, longevity, and the ability to support her family in dangerous situations, Bulma researches biological enhancement and Dr. Gero's technology. She ultimately transforms herself into an android through a modification incorporating Goku's and Buu's cells. 107 130 146 181
