Bulma's offer to Oolong in super episode 8

Post by visser » Sun Sep 06, 2015 9:50 am

When Bulma says she will give him whatever he wants and then winks at him, it seems like she is offering him sex or at least a sexual act, but that can't be right!? I know it seemed the world would end, dragonball has always had sexual jokes, and her character has always been flirtatious and willing to use her sexuality to a degree, but this seems a bit extreme, and even for her character...... way off point, especially when her husband and son where standing right next to her. The only thing i can think of is that they where referring to panties, since Oolong wanted Bulma's panties back in the the pilaf saga, and he wished for panties from Shenlong when he could have wished for almost anything, so she is offering Oolong her panties? that would make a lot more sense than offering a sexual act, but i don't know.

It was a cheap ploy to buy time because of the atrocious pacing. I wouldn't look more into it except that it's a bad joke with two characters, at least one of whom isn't a flirty little girl anymore.

^ Ya, but the writers still had to have had an intended in-universe meaning for it though.

She offered him anything he wanted, but I doubt she would have followed through even if Oolong won. That was just Bulma being manipulative and doing what she could to help save the world.

Meant what? she did say anything! i don't think she meant sex but she did once offer goku to have a feel of her ass. I think she meant panties but it has been a long time since Oolong has showed any interest in panties.

Perhaps she was trusting that he wouldn't request anything too outrageous, lest Vegeta turns him into a pork roast?

I honestly don't think she was actually going to follow through on the offer if Oolong won. Things were tense and she was trying to motivate him.

I'm sure if he won and came to claim his prize, Bulma would tell him something like "You're still alive, that's payment enough." or alternatively "Go ask Vegeta".

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

True, but it's more about what she was offering or alluding to.

That's what I thought too, to be honest. Bulma should know what Oolong wants.
Its not much different from back then in DB first arc.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

I am still confused on what he meant, did you think she meant a sexual act? or do you think she meant panties?

The way she said it, I thought about sexual act right away.
But she wouldn't go that far. Just mind games.

Well in dragonball a sexual act alluded to in a joke like this, would be at most a quick grope while she is still fully clothed(it would be absurd to think it would go beyond that), i doubt even that would have happened if he had won though, especially with Vegeta being her husband.

I believe she said anything he wanted and we all know Oolong wants to hit that lol. I misunderstood you, she definitely was implying some kind of sexual favor but in no way meant it or would have gone through with it. One word Vegeta :lol:

The implication was sexually flirtatious, but as others have said she was just trying to give him the courage and incentive to win the game. I didn't give it a second thought really, she's middle-aged in body only, she is still the same person she was at the start of Dragon Ball willing to use her looks to get what she wants.

Well offering anything like she did would include giving oolong ownership of capsule corp and leaving Vegeta for him etc, which was obviously off the table in her offer of "anything", just like sex or a bj, handjob etc was obviously off the table in her offer of "anything" to oolong. In the scope of the show, her offer was a flash, panties, or at most a quick grope(while still fully clothed), she might have been willing to do that given the circumstances(though probably not), as it isn't really cheating on Vegeta or anything.
