Yeah, filler is hard to interpret. Like I said, the author did contribute greatly to the anime. But was Bulma hugging Vegeta in that scene his idea? Or was the perv looking Yamcha his idea? Or neither? Or both? Anything that is not his idea, I believe we can say that it doesn`t mean anything.

And remember that what Bulma accused Yamcha of doing, according to Trunks, could very well not be more than catching him with that perv look more than once.

Bulma was flirting openly and loudly with Vegeta less than one week after he threatened to kill her and a little over a month after he commanded the killings of Yamcha and co then beat the shit out of Goku, Gohan and Krillin.

Bulma is just a massive whore. She was probably fucking Vegeta in the middle of the hallways of Capsule Corp then dumped Yamcha when he objected to this.

In the manga, the only time I seem to recall of her flirting with Vegeta is when, after Goku defeats Freeza, she offers Vegeta a place to say and says that he better not try anything naughty or something like that, which is characteristic of her. I could be wrong though.

However, by that sentence alone, I cannot conclude that Yamcha did nothing at all, and was all her fault.

Even if Yamcha did notice other women like that image shows, still that wasn`t a good enough reason to break up with Yamcha, because Bulma does worse. We can all agree with that.
I just think that Yamcha did something because the author implies that in the only explanation he ever gives.

Haha, that made me LOL XD
Anyway yeah, I also think Bulma very much so contributed to their break-up, I never meant to say that it was all Yamcha's doing, I think they both went their separate ways and well stuff like that happens. It was also never a secret that they were constantly arguing during their relationship anyway.

I agree. :wink:

I only don`t agree when people say that Yamcha did nothing at all because it is implied in the manga that he did something in the only explanation.

I never meant to say that bulma was innocent. Of course she isn`t.

Yeah, that makes it look more like Bulma cheated with Mcfly..um Vegeta and Biff..um Yamcha ended up standing in the cold. I think it was more that Vegeta injured (who was normally strong) needed her. I mean Bulma has never really been needed by someone before so I can understand why she ended up with him. However from Yamcha's POV, she ended up with the guy that murdered him. :roll:

That's what I thought until I read it. I never noticed she said it before.

I look at injured Vegeta more as an expansion of the manga as oppossed to filler. Filler to me, is when it really doesn't progress the story. This scene kind of fills in the blanks to some degree of what happened between the two. I like this more as it kind of makes Bulma and Yamcha seem less like cheating douches.

do you forgot that bulma in Classic DB was the typical "overly Jelous" Anime girl?, in the anime she broke tmporaly with yamcha by ovrracting like the stupid sterotipical anime girl that she is (or was), remember the episodes when they went to that carnival like place???

tough we know that it wasnt yamcha's fault, since bulma saw yamcha beign nearly to beign killed by the girl, and of course, bulma misinterpeted all......

tough i dont know if that was filler or not

I think that`s filler. In the manga I think we don`t get to see any particular situations regarding their relationship.

We only get to see that they have problems from time to time but nothing specific is said, I think.
It just shows Bulma being angry at him without any details.

I could be wrong though since I do not have all the manga. I don`t have volumes 13 to 16 (Piccolo`s saga).

If nothing more is in those volumes, and if I remember correctly the ones that I do have, then its just as I said.

I really think Bulma was the cheater here.

Why does Mirai Trunks say otherwise? Because he doesn't know any different.

Consider this: the fate of the entire world rests on your son's shoulders. Do you want to add to the stress by throwing in "and your very life is due to the fact that I cheated on my long-term boyfriend with a genocidal sociopath?" Much safer, for both your son and the planet in general, to make up a little lie (and it's not like Yamcha can defend himself, he's dead). And if it makes her look better, well, that's a nice bonus.

Did either really even cheat? They're both flirts and have nothing in common with each other apart from the fact that they were both horny and single when they were 16. I'm surprised they stuck together this long.

Well if you go by the anime, it seems more plausible that Bulma slept with Vegeta during the time she was nursing him back to health moreso than Yamcha cheating on her.

Does she ever say that Yamcha cheated on/broke up with her prior to this?
Plus the fact that she was flirting with Vegeta like crazy in that filler episode after the Garlic Jr. saga.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Maybe from the future Trunks came from, we can take what he said to be true. However the bottom line is that in the mainstream timeline, we never see Yamcha cheat.

Since the beginning of DB, we always seem to find out about Yamcha's cheating through Bulma. The only time I recall Yamcha actively attempting anything was with Chi Chi. And that was so he could get the dragonballs.

Weather it be the manga or anime we see Bulma undoubtably flirt with someone. What gets me is that she has flirted with her own son Trunks. To me that's somewhat sick.

However, from what we see in the anime (using this aside from speculating what the manga intended us to believe) we see Yamcha and Bulma together prior to Vegeta getting injured. We see Bulma nurse Vegeta back to health. We see she had his baby. We don't see them having sex, but I assume that's implied.

Did anyone cheat? After thinking on it maybe not. Yamcha was busy training and was not with Bulma all the time. Bulma was nursing Vegeta back to health and things just happened. Maybe the relationship was already falling apart and Vegeta was the final hit. But unlike in the other timeline, I do not beleive the same circumstances applied here.

Yamcha may have (may have) cheated in the past, but I truly believe this was not the reason Bulma ended up with Vegeta.

I'm thinking Bulma just wanted her own Saiyan.

She probably fell in love with Goku at the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai and never got over him marrying Chichi, she probably saw Vegeta as another Goku.

She dumped Yamcha because she saw another Goku? :lol:
