Did they suddenly remember Bulma in Super?

[SaiyanGod117]

her being a fighter would have helped include her easily as well, instead of the tame housewife she became..

I would say her being a housewife is completely out of character.

I just wish Super didn't shit on the Son Family just to make Bulma and her family look good by comparison. It's one of the reasons I'm stalling with the anime.

Bulma deserves all the screen time she gets, and a Hell of a lot more than the likes of Goten and Trunks, who've always been a waste of episode time. Each one of their scenes could be deleted from the episodes and nothing of value is lost. Maybe Young Trunks talking to Future Trunks, but outside of that they've been giving too much focus ever since Z.

Characters like Piccolo, Ten, 18, Krillin, should be getting more involved in the series arcs, but not at the expense of Bulma. Remove the two kids; they've added nothing of worth.

It gave Goku some much needed moments with Goten, something that wasn't really there in Z. But I do agree with having the others be more involved.

Super does do that often, and I too wish Toei would stop doing that. Though Goku has had plenty great moments with his own children in Super.

Son family have been represented quite well. We see Goku hang out and interact with his family quite often, we see them dine together etc we never see that with Bulma's family heck we even had a great heart to heart episode with Goku and Pan and we haven't got anything remotely close to that with the Bulma family.

The new ending theme is bulma-centric too. I don't know what she will be able to provide in the new arc though, besides looking after bra.

If feeding into the whole "Goku is amoral selfish manchild", "Gohan is nerdy loser", and "Chi-Chi is bitch wife from hell" stigmas is "representing" them well then I don't want Super to do anything with them.

And you conveniently ignored the rest of the my post, nice one. Goku is so selfish that he is always seen working for this family and asks Chichi if he can train, when he doesn't even need permission in the first place as Chichi can't stop him and he lets her, Chichi constantly prepares Goku food and has expressed worry when Goku is not well, Goku has been working hard and she arranged a spar match for him as reward yeah total "wife bitch from hell" she is , And how is Gohan a "nerdy loser"? He likes to study but is now coming back in the fold. And not to mention Goku completely lost his rag when not his Chichi and Goten were murdered so yeah again tell me how is Bulma's family being represented better, aside from episode 2 when have seen Vegeta, Trunks and Bulma sit down and have a meal together, In fact when was the last time we had Vegeta even properly interact with Kid Trunks?

[obiwan23s]

The Beerus arc happened on her birthday, she was involved in the Gold Freeza arc because she never got to see Freeza during the original Freeza arc (valid complaint imo, you'd feel gypped if you went to another planet and didn't even get to see the bad guy) and to support the introduction of Jaco's character, the Goku Black arc she was involved because of the time machine, the Universe Survival arc seems primed to exclude most of the non-fighting cast from the main story once the tournament starts. I don't think there will be a cheering section for the fighters like in Super's first tournament arc. She's getting more involvement in the story than she did in the Boo Saga but it seems normal compared to DB and the first 3 sagas of Z.

I didn't ignore your post, friens. Basically what I'm saying is the good moments are too far-and-few in between.

More often than not they're making (painfully unfunny) jokes at their expense and exactly what for? To pander to certain parts of the fandom?

Has anyone noticed that Bulma is everywhere in Super? She somewhat reminds me of the useless amount of screen time Pan had received in DBGT. I mean, Bulma is always there, and unlike the latter half of DB and all of DBZ, she always seems to have a point to make in Super. Aside from her logical involvement with reconstructing Cell's time machine, her presence throughout Super just didn't make any sense. It got to a point where you could almost predict when she would speak because a whole minute had gone by without her saying anything. Toriyama/ Toei seemed to have taken all sorts of measures to ensure her continued presence (being well-acquainted with Jaco, having lunch with Whis, bickering with Beerus, to name a few).

If we disregard Gohan finally landing himself a key role in the Universe Survival arc, neither he nor Goten have had half of Bulma's screen time. There was a time in DBZ where the very idea of Bulma rising through the ranks and offsetting Goku's two sons in importance was simply inconceivable. Some might argue that Gohan's family man/ scholar life and Goten going to school explain their lack of involvement with the plot. But this is Bulma we're talking about. Even in DB, it wasn't long before she was reduced to a Tenkaichi Budokai spectator with Oolong and the gang.

I remember many people complaining about Future Trunks and Mai's relationship being the most absurd thing about Super, but imo, Bulma's screen time wins the prize.

No offence, but what did you expect? She is the female protagonist of the show and not only that, but DBZ didn't really use her properly. She was there when we needed someone to complain, just like we had Chi-chi for.

I personally like that she is there in the front. She is just as irritating as back then, but now she can help somewhat.

[omaro34]

Bulma role in this franchise has been enormous, no doubt about it.

The time machine and the Dragonball radar have been the driving force of the many plots in the series.

I personally don't mind Bulma's presence at all.

[HybridSaiyan]

Her Buu saga portrayal showed a much motherly and calming side to Bulma, more...like laid back? She was portrayed the same in the 13th Toei movie. Some of her actions in Super (to me) have kinda regressed her character. The flirting with Zamasu etc...

[visser]

But she didn't flirt with him because she liked him or was attracted to him, she did it as an act to stall time for Trunks, so he could learn how to seal Zamasu away. It wasn't at all like how she flirted in early dragonball, so I don't see how it's character regression

I just can't see her pulling a stunt like that in the Buu saga. Would she have went to that length with Super Buu back then to stall for the fusion dance?

If she thought it would work, yes.

I suppose so, if needed. Almost everyone was on the lookout at that point though, so she didn't see the need to try stall buu when others could try something to stall him I guess. And fake flirting with a guy isn't going to great lengths, especially when the universe might literally be at stake.

With the way it's being talked about, you'd think fake flirting with a villain was on the same scale as Piccolo encouraging Buu to kill the other people of Earth to stall for time.

Look, I was just saying. I was under the impression Bulma had put all that behind her from the little screentime we seen of her in the buu saga. Or it may just be the Tiffany Vollmer effect playing with me lol.

OG Dragon Ball Bulma would've done some strip-teasing (and it probably would've worked).
