Did Bulma have romantic feelings for Goku?

[Angelus]

Bulma's definitely a flirt but she doesn't seem to like it when her boyfriend chooses to sleep around. Except Vegeta. Vegeta could do whatever he wants because he's an alpha. But Vegeta wasn't into sleeping around. He'd rather just train. I bet it was Bulma who made the moves on Vegeta at first. She needed some of those alpha male genes for her offspring . No more creampies for Yamcha

Damn it must be awkward to have Yamcha and Vegeta in the same room during gatherings

[TheUltimateNinja]

I wonder how Gohan would turn out if Bulma was his mother instead of ChiChi.

[Angelus]

Probably would be a tech genius

[DBZAOTA482]

Dead, that's how he'll turn out.

[sintzu]

She still clearly admires Goku, perhaps even more than Vegeta as she always relies on him to save them.

Vegeta "saving" them from Freeza cost her her son, her parents and him alongside the planet so I can't really blame her for not trusting him to get the job done or at least done right.

why?

[TheUltimateNinja]

Who'd kill him?

Yeah, Vegeta's track record kind of speaks for itself, but it's gotta hurt when even your own wife trusts your rival over you.

[DBZAOTA482]

why?

Who'd kill him?

Either the Saiyans or the androids. Goku and Gohan would fight off Raditz but Goku never receives training from King Kai. If they win then Vegeta and Nappa have no reason to invade Earth thus the Z-Warriors don't have a reason to go to Namek or if they lose the Earth dragonballs forever.... either scenario would leave them all at the mercy of the androids.

How?

[Angelus]

Piccolo would still train him. Same with Goku during the 3 years before the Androids Saga

And that's not even going into Cell, who, as a result, costs them their son AGAIN.

Yeah, I'm not really seeing either why Gohan being Bulma's son would automatically mean he'd never be trained by Piccolo for some reason. Unless you're trying to say that he might not have the same level of hidden potential, coming from just Goku's fighting bloodline and not mixed with Chi Chi's as well? Which is...debateable, I guess. I mean, Trunks still turned out pretty strong after all.

Really though, I've never been as fond of envisioning changes as 'because that's different, they all die', personally. I more so like to think about how the story as a whole might be changed as well to accommodate said initial change to still get us to either ultimately the same point, or at least to a similar point where the heroes win, because that's the way the story would have gone in that situation. Had Toriyama paired up Goku and Bulma, the story wouldn't have them all getting killed off by the later threats just because of what we known to be true via the existing story - the story itself would be altered to make things still work out somehow or another.

If anything Gohan would most likely end up even stronger because unlike ChiChi Bulma would most likely have no issues with Goku training him.

[Veggiegirl]

No, Bulma cares for Goku but he's like a brother to her. Yes, she used to have a crush on him when he returned as a teenager at the tournament in DB and she did question if she should have dated Goku instant of Yamcha on the planet Namek, I watched those scenes too but it's all gone once she got together with Vegeta, we've never seen she romantically thinks of Goku again and we've never seen her regret that she married Vegeta. On the other hand, we saw her confessed to Jaco that " being Vegeta's wife and Trunks's mother, her life is satisfied at the moment". It made me realize For her, the life she built with Vegeta is worth most than a lifetime of adventures. If she had some kind of romantic feeling for Goku, she wouldn't kissed Vegeta in front of his face or when Goku showed up while Bulma got out of her bathroom, if she had a romantic feeling for Goku, would she scream out loud so Vegeta could come to her rescue? If you wanna know who she really loves, well it's easy. Do you remember Bulma's first reaction when Vegeta, Goku and future Trunks returned from the future? They were all in bad shape but when Bulma saw Vegeta with a hole on his chest, she desperately screamed out loud and didn't even bother to look at Goku at all. This is a translation from DBS exciting guide published by TOEI Animation

" Through the bond that they shared as a couple, Bulma felt an uneasy at the same moment Vegeta self-destructed"

Source : The official Dragon Ball Super Exciting Guide (story edition )

and if you look at Vegeta's image that TOEI's trying to push him to be "A SUPER FAMILY MAN " from DBS latest few episode :p , Not to mention all Vegeta and Bulma mass commercial products( a card, a calender, Dragonball Xenoverse Bulma and Vegeta moments, etc),all Vegeta and Bulma fan services in super. I think there's no chance that TOEI will let Bulma cheat on Vegeta with Goku ( I never say that any of you ever said that Bulma would cheat on Vegeta though, just saying )

[floofychan333]

She has romantic feelings for everyone, probably even Kuririn.

[TheGodfather93]

I always liked the Goku x Bulma pairing. They've known each other since they were kids, and have gone through so much together. Both clearly hold great affection for each other, just not in a romantic way. But I can see them working as a couple. Both Goku and Bulma are pretty independent people, but they also have needs that can be fulfilled by one another. Goku needs someone to provide him food and a place to train, and he'd get all that and more at Capsule Corp. Bulma doesn't seem like the nagging sort either, and would probably let him eat and train to his heart's content. That said, Bulma needs a loving partner - preferably good looking - who wouldn't be overbearing, but would be loyal and loving. Goku isn't the type to sleep around with other women, and Super has shown us that he does actually love his family. And as for his looks... well, Bulma clearly approves.

While I don't have any problems with the Goku x Chi-Chi pairing, and think it works quite well, I think a Goku x Bulma pairing would work equally as well.

[dragon boss z]

No, but she thought he was hot when she saw him at the 23r budokai.

[RandomGuy96]

Romantic or no (the answer is probably no), I wish this relationship would've been explored more, especially since Bulma and Goku were the first characters to meet each other, right there in the very first chapter. you don't see a surrogate big sister relationship very often in fiction.
