Bulma vs. Dr Gero (The better scientist)

[AvatarReiko]

Bulma Brief vs. Dr Gero. Out of these to capable individuals, who is the smarter one and the better scientist.

Dr. Gero one of the most renowned scientist in the world created androids strong enough to kill all the Z warriors due to his lust for revenge and hatred toward Goku. He also created cell, a perfect being composed of cells from frieza, vegeta, Piccolo and Goku. Gero managed to also turn himself into an android, being granted eternal life in the process and the ability to fight with Z-fighters of Piccolo's caliber.

Bulma created the Dragon Rader at the age of 16. Built an Ant Man suit. She was able to alter the settings of an Alien device with no knowledge on it with ease, and was able to convert the alien language into english. She did this with limited appliances. With her dad assisting her, she was able to repair the Namekian ship. After much effort, Bulma was able to grasp an understanding on the android's circuitry and was able to build a remote to shut Gero's androids down. Although, the task proved quite challenging for her but she pulled through. After Android 16 was damaged badly, Bulma was able to make him as good as new. Bulma's greatest invention without a doubt is the time machine she created in the future, which took her over 3 years to build.

out of the two I would have to say Bulma, considering that she partially built a time machine, an invention that wasn't a failure, as opposed to all of Gero's androids. No of them succeeded in fulling their function and purpose, whereas Bulma's Time machine saved both dbz timelines. The fact that Bulma was able to create a remote to shut the androids down shows that she was able to understand Gero's science and level of work. On the contrary, Gero had more scientific experience.

[Polyphase Avatron]

Obviously Bulma is "better" since she didn't try to create things to kill people and ruin the world.

[RandomGuy96]

Bulma built a fucking TIME MACHINE. It makes building a series of powerful weapons seem absolutely amateurish in comparison.

[FoolsGil]

They are both equally matched when it comes to intellect. Gero played God by creating life. Bulma played God by changing the past. Both are capable of great things, I suppose if there needs to be a winner, it would be Bulma only because she matched Geros genius at more than half his age.

[Mystic Buu]

Bulma.Dr.Gero built androids,but Bulma can fix Dragon Radar in less than a day.And in the future,she built a time machine.So yes,i think that Bulma wins.

[Blade]

I think that, during the Android/Cell arc at least, both Bulma and her father are somewhat overwhelmed by the complexity of Gero's work. So I'd say that in terms of robotic engineering, Gero's area of expertise, Bulma isn't quite at his level.

Having said that, there's quite a lot of things Bulma appears to be able to do that Gero, or indeed any other scientist, cannot - such as invent a Dragon Radar. Well, apart from Dr Myuu, that is - he seems to be invent some form of Dragonball locator device.

[FoolsGil]

Chances are, Gero made the Radar used by the Red Ribbon Army-it was just wildly inferior.

etc...

Dr.gero

4. Built Android 17.
5. Built HELL-Android 17.
6. Built Android 18.
7. Built Android 19.
8. Built Android 16.
9. Built Android 4.
10.Built Android 13.
11. Has a Actual Doctorate in science(Dr.gero).

etc...

...............

My Analyses

>>>Dr.Gero's Androids failed miserably to do what he wanted them to do. He's only a expert in one field of science.
He took almost 20 years plus time to create some of his inventions.


>>>Bulma has/had built a time machine , And verity of other Technologies regarding different field, Non of them back-fired.Managed to fix OR build within a comparatively short time.


SO. Finally ,
I say BULMA is a much better scientist .

Gero didn't create life.

Gero didn't create life.

Yes he did, Cell was grown from synthesized DNA built up from information taken from various fighters.

Oh right. I forgot about him. But then, Gero didn't technically create him; his computer did.

#16 can be considered a form of life. And not just life, intelligent life.

[petronka101]

Bulma. Everything she created served its purpose as opposed to Gero's. The few times her creations failed, was due to human intervention (read Kuririn). A great scientist is ultimately determined by the type of results they can deliver, not how much effort they put into their creation or the complexity of it.

[ABED]

It nurtured him, but didn't create him. Gero had to build the computer with the intelligence to do so.

[Polyphase Avatron]

Don't forget that (at least in the dub), Gero also built a gas-powered toaster. That might be the deciding factor here.

She also built the shut down controller for androids 17 and 18. Not to mention, the great saiyanman suit lol

[Pantalones]

#17 and #18 seemed surprised that Gero was able to make a fully-mechanical model like #16 when they first discovered him, so I'm guessing that previously he hadn't had much luck with making fully-mechanical Androids that were up to par with the human-based ones. #8 was presumably human-based (going by his Frankenstein-esque appearance, possibly made from dead bodies?) and every other Android that Dr. Gero made had at least some non-mechanical part to it (Gero's brain, most of #17 and #18, etc.), except maybe #19 but he was kind of pitifully weak compared to the rest. And even after #16 was "done," Gero still considered him a failure, so he hadn't really perfected that method of making Androids yet at that point even if he could make it work.

And then Bulma was able to repair #16. Without actually having his blueprints or anything (she only had #17's to make the shutdown controller; not #16's or any other previous models), and afterward he was up and running just as well as before, the only difference being that his bomb was removed (which was something she did intentionally, of course.) And then you have her fixing/modifying spaceships and scouters, making a time machine, and so on.

That seems to point toward Bulma being better than Gero when it comes to anything fully mechanical (robots like #16, spacecraft/time machines/vehicles in general, etc.), even if she was amazed by how #17 and #18's modifications worked. So I guess Gero is better at cybernetic type stuff, taking a human (or other living) base and modifying that, while Bulma is better with pure machinery.

Bulma did a diagnostic scan on 16 to see his mechanical structure

[DNA]

Hold on a moment, Bulma did not work alone in a few of those projects, she worked in conjunction with her father at least. And during the construction of the ship they use during the Black Star Dragon Balls arc, wasn't Gohan helping her as well?
Although if you go to "expanded universe" it seems she built an electro-magnetic storm stabilizer in True Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans.

They are both pretty impressive scientists in their fields, but I don't think it's fair to compare them. I believe Bulma's crowning achievement to be the Time Machine, but can you really compare it to Cell? Aren't they both amazingly impressive in their own regard?

[Babbu]

Bulma fixed Jaco's spaceship when she was like 5 years old
