Talk:Bulma/Archive 1

Incorrect & Unreliable Sources
A few of the sources listed on here are unreliable. Namely reference number 2, "MyFavoriteGames.com", which discredits the birthdate posted.

There is also a lack of sourcing from the title all the way down to the "Personality" section. There is also explicit information which does not appear to be anything more than oppinion posted in the sections described above, leading me to believe people are putting more personal judgement into the posts.

I'll try to look over these later to try and restructure this and provide more sourcing. FragTools (talk) 09:29, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Aged very quickly
In the History of Trunks section, I don't see how she aged very quickly, as at the end of DBZ, she seemed pretty much the same age as in the History of Trunks.Dark Rain

Tables
If you're trying to standardize the tables, we should add a 'Manga Name' to each instance of the table (because it's sometimes neither the most popular name, nor the anime name) and maybe we can collapse the 'Alternate Names' into a single field with less explanation. It gets trickier for characters like Master Roshi where you have multiple names in English and Romaji. Hard to squeeze in a common format and still have any the info. JRP 21:44, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Fields
I took your advice and added the Alternate Name, and Manga Name field to Template:DB Character. Breaks can be added where multiple Romaji and English names exist. Things look better for this one.BCKILLa 06:25, 4 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Poor quality
There are several points in this page where the article is poorly edited. I suggest it be tagged for cleanup.

Stop deleteing that vegeta part

 * That is the translated version, how about the original one to see if he is referring to her as wife? -- ReyBrujo 00:07, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Ummm...
Not to be sick minded or anything, but there is a strange bit of trivia about Bulma that could be put in. She is the only character in the original Manga to be shown topless. I'm not going to add it, but you can discuss whether it is worth being put in or not. (again, I have no idea if this kind of trivia is even allowed, but it is up to you guys) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Buster Sword (talk • contribs).
 * I think it is allowed, wikipedia is not censored.Muchi 23:40, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * What episode was that?Voicingmaster 19:02, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * The dubs have cut it out mostly, but the three main instances in Dragon Ball are:
 * Episode 5 or 6. Yamcha pulls the blanket off Bulma while she sleeps. Areolae can be seen around the obscuring stars in the anime only.
 * Episode 9. Technically Oolong polymorphed into Bulma, showing his/her breasts to Roshi.  I haven't seen this episode uncut, but you could make out the nipples in the manga.
 * Episode 70 or 71. Krillian pulls down Bulma's top to give Roshi a nose bleed, in both the anime and manga. –Gunslinger47 20:53, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

A curious statement
"However, after the Freeza Saga she begins a relationship with Vegeta after several blowjobs and a heated argument which led to three hour intercourse ..."

Now, I may be going out on a limb here...but it seems to me that even if the bolded portion of this statement were true and verifiable (and believe me, I do have my doubts), it adds absolutely nothing to the article and should be removed. -- 65.100.120.83 11:33, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Android controller
Bulma's remote control that was built to disable Androids #17 and #18 might not've been significant on it's own (due to never actually being used in the primary timeline), but it may've been used in an alternate timeline. It also played a significant role in the sequence of events leading up to Android #18's absorption by Cell, yet it is not mentioned in the article anywhere.

Just a nitpick. --- Randilyn

Bulma and Vegeta section?
I have recently spoken to several fans of the Dragonball Wikipedia articles that request we add a Vegeta and Bulma section to at least one article. I was the one who deleted it from the Vegeta article. I don't think we need this, it's not overly important, but I thought that if we do decide to have one, it'd be better to have it here then on the Vegeta one. Thoughts? --Majinvegeta 14:21, 28 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It was full of speculation and original research then, and it'll end up the same now. It isn't needed-- $U IT  02:03, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

They are a couple and Vegeta needs to be mentioned more in this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.37.115 (talk) 01:46, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Figured what is wrong.
Well after looking over the article I see what is wrong. Unlike many other articles of DB characters this articles history(Plot) and background info are completely mixed in. Read over it and you will see. If you move the plots plus seperate the plots in DB section it would be much easier for history. Take stuff like romantic involvment out and add that in another section close to personality. Shot create a Romantic involvment section or something. Add a list of her invention similar to how techniques are on the fighters page. and not to forget to add references too. this can be a straight article.Heat P 02:55, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Merge discussion
Discussion is at WP:DBZ-- $U IT  04:06, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

No it's not! I couldn't find it. User:Mr. Blonde 139 11:40, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

You people are thick! Merge Bulma to the List?!
Why merge Bulma?! She's only the second character to be introduced in the Dragon Ball series?! Thus, the first supporting charcter to be introduced in Dragon Ball! She's been too much of an aid to Goku and the Z Fighters to deserve that. Too many important charcters are in that list and you want to merge Bulma? It's because she's not a Z Fighter. Please do not merge her in the List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball. She deserves her own article. Uglyguy2006

Bulma doesn't need to be merged to List of Earthlings in Dragon Ball, because she is an important character. TyrannoRanger


 * Bulma is too much of a main character to just be in a list. Miles Blues 00:43, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Don't merge her, she is the most notable female character in the series, plays a moderate-major role in every saga, and is responsible for setting the entire series in motion. She is a NOTABLE character, thus warranting her own article. User:Mr. Blonde 139 11:41, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

No don't merge her she is a main character and an important in a lot of the sagas. If you merge her into the list of earthlings why not merge Vegeta into the list of saiyans? --122.148.149.39 03:17, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Don't even touch the article. It's fine the way it is, 'kay? She's too important to just be merged into the "List of Earthlings," just like Mr. Satan was. -- ZeroGiga 4:13, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Agreed, I cant believe someone suggested that. Skaterchild3 23:14, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, Bulma really does deserve an article of her own. More so than Pan, or Roshi, or even Goten and Trunks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.61.8.75 (talk) 06:51, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Delete!? Are you crazy!?
KEEP!! She is a VERY notable character in Dragon Ball! First you try to merge her, then delete her!? This is ridiculous!? Why do such a thing!? She is probably the MOST important female character in the series! I do not approve of this AT ALL. -- ZeroGiga 2:35, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Merge Bulma Into The List of Earthlings
Alright, you guys might object to this, but instead of deleting this page, how about we try to merge it into "The List Of Earthlings In Dragon Ball" article instead. Now that you think about it, despite being an important character, I guess she isn't really THAT important. -- ZeroGiga 19:00, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Merge vote???
I just don't get how Bulma gets nominated for deletion when Pan is still up. Superior1 04:15, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Age
I think there's a mistake in her age. First, the Freeza saga (including the whole trip), the Garlick ark, and Freeza's return in a biomecanic form are not considered in the article, and the arrival of the androids and Cell are mistakenly mentioned as being 3 years later after Vegeta's arrival. I think that the whole Freeza saga (since Bulma, Krillyn and Gohan leave Earth to go to Namek, until future Trunks defeates Freeza and informs Gokuh about the androids) it is roughly 2 years. The second mistake is in DBGT, in which the article mentions Pan being 14, but it took only 5 years for Gokuh and Oob to train, thus Pan was only 9 by GT. Bulma is 55 by the end of the series. --Lord Opeth (talk) 16:34, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
