Dragon Ball has always held Bulma in high regard from the very beginning of the story, due to her intelligence. Now, Dragon Ball Daima has presented a clear example of why she is a true genius.
Dragon Ball began its publication in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump 40 years ago.
To celebrate this milestone, the franchise is currently expanding with a completely new anime, sending Goku on a fresh adventure into the Demon Realm. Although Goku is the main character that fans are eager to see, he is not the only one driving the entire journey. It is Bulma who provides Goku with the initial reasons to embark on this new quest.
Although Bulma was initially introduced in Dragon Ball as a girl merely looking for a boyfriend, it is clear that she is exceptionally intelligent. Over time, Bulma has taken on a larger role in the story, as her knowledge and resources have allowed Goku and others to discover crucial locations throughout the series. With Dragon Ball Daima, we see Bulma’s intelligence manifest again as she easily grasps some of the technology of the Demon Realm.
Bulma is a true genius in Dragon Ball
Bulma’s intelligence has never been in question throughout Dragon Ball’s history, so fans may have forgotten just how brilliant she is. Since Bulma often finds herself surrounded by numerous major events in the later arcs of the series, people tend to overlook her importance in understanding key elements of the world around her.
It’s important to note that a version of Bulma could potentially create a time machine using materials from the future Trunks’ timeline, serving as an example of the incredible things she can achieve.
Bulma was quick to assess the damage caused to Supreme Kai’s ship after the battle with Majin Buu. After that, she clearly stated that it would take a few days to get it operational again. This demonstrates just how intelligent she is, as she can perform repairs from the outset, only needing to discuss the completion timeline. With her own resources, she could very well turn that ship into a reality.
Bulma understands the technology of the Demon Realm
A prime example of Bulma’s intelligence appears during the introduction of Glorio in Daima. She doesn’t just recognize his ship as a vehicle (which Glorio uses as part of his strategy); after examining it for a few minutes, she can understand how it operates. This knowledge will help her swiftly repair the Supreme Kai’s ship. Time and again, Goku and others rely on Bulma to turn their adventures into reality.
While Bulma may not be the one launching any attacks or the center of all battles, it is her genius that enables characters to find those precious gems of knowledge in various situations. Now, fans are beginning to realize just how much of a genius Bulma truly is within the Dragon Ball universe.
