Dragon Ball: Everything to know about Bulla

In Dragon Ball, Bulla is Bulma and Vegeta’s daughter. That means she might have a big role in the story someday. She initially appears in the closing episodes of Dragon Ball Z but has a few appearances later. We don’t see a lot of Bulla, but she’s interesting to fans because she’s a Saiyan and has high-profile parents.

In Dragon Ball, bloodlines often determine a character’s strength and potential. She is the second child of Vegeta and Bulma and the younger sister of Trunks. This also makes many fans believe that she could one day be as powerful as her brother or father.

Unlike Trunks, however, we haven’t seen Bulla fight or train in Dragon Ball Super. She looks more like a regular kid, leading a nice life as part of her family. Though she hasn’t yet fought in the series, Bulla has a great history to build off of. She is half-human and half-Saiyan, like Gohan, Goten, and Trunks.

In the anime, half-Saiyans tend to be even stronger than full-bloods when they are young. This means that if Bulla ever chooses to train, she could become very powerful. We don’t often see Vegeta act soft, but he loves Bulla so much that he can’t hide it. Vegeta clearly cares for Bulla deeply, and while he’s tough on Trunks to make him train hard, he’s gentle with Bulla.

In Dragon Ball Super, Bulla is born in the Universal Survival Saga. At first, Vegeta declines the invitation to participate in the Tournament of Power and be with Bulma until Bulla is born. But Whis wasn’t exactly a patient sort. He used magic to warp Bulla out from Bulma’s belly. It was a heartwarming moment when Bulla smiled at Vegeta when he first held her.

Even without big fights or stories, Bulla still stands out. She’s confident, happy, and a bit sassy, just like Bulma, her mom. Her bond with Vegeta is special, too. The way he goes the extra mile to satisfy her is beautiful, as it is not the usual way Vegeta fans know.

There are small, sweet moments that show a softer side of Vegeta. He even shaved his mustache because Bulla didn’t like it. These family scenes make the show feel more real, even with all the big battles.

Bulla also appears in Dragon Ball GT, but that version is older. In GT, she likes shopping and spending time with her parents. She doesn’t fight or train, and the show focuses more on other characters. Some also say that GT is not truly part of the main timeline, so Super is her actual version, most fans agree on. But in either version, she’s a vivid, extraordinarily opinionated person with enough love for her family.


Fan theories about her character in Dragon Ball

Fans are always questioning what Dragon Ball will do next, with many asking after Bulla. Fans are asking whether she will become a fighter like the rest of the Saiyan offspring. Predicting what the character will look like has been an interesting conversation. She hasn’t shown interest in training to fight yet, but she is young. Perhaps in a future series or a movie, we’ll get to see Bulla begin her journey.

Some fans even hope she and Pan, Gohan’s daughter, can join forces to keep the line of fighters going into the next generation. Dragon Ball is one long story of passing the torch, and Bulla is a big part.

Bulla never really got a huge moment on our screen, but she is still a big part of the Dragon Ball world. Her family and Saiyan roots are enough for her to be one of, if not the one to watch. She has not fought at the front, but her presence has brought levity and normalcy to the series. And if the anime does one day delve further into the next generation, Bulla could easily be one of the stars.


Conclusion

For now, Bulla remains in the background of Dragon Ball, but she’s definitely not forgotten. Fans will always be interested in what lies ahead for her, and plenty of people wish to see her succeed one day, not just as Vegeta and Bulma’s daughter, but as a fighter on her own.
