Bulma had a romantic relationship with Yamcha and Vegeta at the same time?

Post by Tai Lung » Tue May 12, 2020 6:09 pm

After reading the manga again I realized that it is not really accurate when the relationship of yamcha and bulma ended and when the relationship with vegeta began

(old terrible scanlation removed by mod)

however from tien shinhan's comments we know that yamcha still lived in bulma's house .. so after vegeta stayed in her house .. the 3 of them found themselves living together throughout the year and maybe more

in fact you can see all 3 at a party when frieza returns to earth

(old terrible scanlation removed by mod)

how do you think their relationship was when they lived together?

I imagine Blooma only slept with Vegeta after a fight with Yamcha. That or they were in a threesome while Oolong filmed from a closet. Flip a coin.

If she did, Vegeta would have killed him.

Vegeta was yelling and mocking Yamcha whenever he gets the chance , Yamcha couldn't do a thing about it because he would be crushed , with Bulma admiring Vegeta's character , so that's how it went for year in my headcannon.

Well, I would imagine that Bloomers is the type to not take sex too romantically. And if she wasn't in a relationship with either at the time, I doubt she'd have any qualms about simply sleeping with whichever one didn't piss her off that day.

If you mean that Bulma likely cheated on Yamcha to have sex with Vegeta, then yeah.

The idea of Bulma cheating on Yamcha with the guy who indirectly caused his death, while also telling her son that he was the one who cheated on her, would make her seem pretty damn despicable.

Pretty sure Blooma just wasn't all the in to Yamcha anymore, broke up with him, then hate-fucked Vegeta to process the stress of the break-up.

It's not out of character for her sadly. Her eyes were always wandering even while she was with Yamcha. She's too concerned about her own image.

Why is it sad? She's an adult [fictional] character. Let her do as she pleases.

Tell yourself that. Shes a drawing. I can't "ler her do as she pleases" because she's not real. I'm not sure what your point was.

Read for first sentence. It doesn't make any sense.

I wouldn’t say she had a romantical relationship with either one of them. Yamcha probably was too nervous to have sex with a girl anyway and Vegeta didn’t care until he and Bulma started to get closer in the 3-year period after Freeza’s death.

Doesn't Yamcha cheat on Bulma? Or is it he is just flirting which while still cheating is slightly different

That’s what Trunks claimed, but we never actually saw any examples of that, and it’s kind of at odds with Toriyama’s later statements about how Yamcha still hasn’t gotten over his fear of women. It’s pretty obvious that the whole bit about Yamcha not being faithful to Bulma was just something Toriyama casually threw in there so that Bulma could have a convenient excuse to dump him for Vegeta without coming across as an asshole and/or an idiot.

Bulma's always been a bit of a temperamental, vain woman whose attitude could just be unbearable at times so its not any wonder that her & Yamcha didn't work out. Vegeta on the otherhand, preferred that about Bulma and is something that he confirmed in DBS regarding Saiyan relationships.
It was probably better off that way as some anime filler depicted Bulma as treating Yamcha like crap at times. They were oil & water when together so its no big loss.

So true.

Even in Early DB, Bulma was throwing herself at every handsome guy she saw awhile she was with Yamcha.

This is Dragon Ball, where romantic relationships are utterly random and unpredictable.

This is not beyond Bulma to be with both a prince and a bandit.

I thought Yamcha cheated in the saiyan saga? I always assumed that Yamcha and Bulma were on the rocks and Yamcha does something again and Bulma uses Vegeta as a rebound.

Basically Yamcha cheats and Bulma dumps him. Yamcha dies and is revived so Bulma takes him back. Bulma loves Yamcha but Vegeta has the qualities she is really attracted to. Yamcha does something again during the Android trainning(could have flirted with another woman or just had a big fight with Bulma, we do see in Filler he was jealous of Vegeta he could have accused Bulma of cheating so she is done for good).

Bulma has a rebound with Vegeta who needs to blow of his own steam from not being a ssj(another head canon is he was celebrating becoming a ssj because I forget if they mention how many times Vegeta went off into space to train).

Bam Trunks is conceived.
