Shouldn't Bulma Be Able To Craft Battle-Suits Or Make Pills That Replicate Or Enhance Inherent Saiyan Abilities?

[theherodjl]

She has the most powerful Saiyans ever to exist living in her own backyard, but Bulma still hasn't thought to actually use their DNA or artificially copy their abilities to make something that could aid them in fights or make the human characters useful again? She figured out Dr. Gero's tech & biological experiments after studying them with her father for a few days, and she was able to learn some intricate things about time travel too from studying & working with the time machine so why hasn't she come around to making something that would be especially useful for everyone who needs to fight?
Obviously, Goku & Vegeta wouldn't want to use it unless it was in an extreme emergency, but what about the rest of the Z Senshi that have vastly fallen behind in strength, and lack the abilities & power-ups of the Saiyans? Shouldn't she at least make it for them in case more & worse threats arrive on Earth in the future?

Well if we're going to delve into the realm of synthetic equipment to compensate for power related weaknesses, I say instead of relying on Saiyan genetics, the scientifically inclined minds of the DB universe aught to consider polymerising Katchin alloy in a lab down to some kind of malleable fibre like equivalent, similar to what happens to para-phenylenediamine during the process of creating Kevlar. Imagine Krillin, Tenshinhan, and Yamcha with a full body Katchin-Kevlar like suit of flexible yet trauma resistant armour that protects the entirety of their bodies while still allowing enough material venting for breathing to take place through the fibres around the mouth. No matter what someone throws at them, the armour could withstand the trauma and enable the wearer to continue on fighting -- even SSJB Vegetto in the manga exerted the effort to dodge the Katchin projectiles being hurled at him by Zamasu rather than try to destroy them, providing just how resilient they are.

Better yet, I don't see why Piccolo couldn't materialise some armour suits for the humans to wear. Anything he pictures in his mind can be created with magic, right? Well let's have him put that vast expanse of knowledge that Kami bestowed him to use and create equipment that can enable even the likes of Chaozu to stand on a battlefield without getting instantly crushed to death.

I think if anyone learnt anything from Dr Gero and his creation of the Androids, it's that power gets out of hand very easily. Why risk creating tech that gives people Saiyan power if it's going to fall into the wrong hands?

Besides that pragmatism, I think Bulma is ethical enough to not try something like that.

Since when is DB does anyone specifically care about powerful things falling into the wrong hands? The Zamasus from two different timelines managed to easily get their hands on the Super DBs, the most powerful items in all of existence, and wish themselves a few gifts that made their attempt at conquering reality almost a sure thing, and nobody really stopped to think that maybe there should be protections & measures to ensure that the nigh-omnipotent Super DBs would not just fall into anyone's hands. Goku & Vegeta don't give a damn about whatever power ends up in whoever's hands since they always decide to fight the threats head on, and everyone just goes along with it anyways since they have an unhealthy faith in the Saiyan's decision-making(despite it being very faulty to say the least).
It was Bulma's idea too to use the time machine against Beerus & Whis' warnings, and the consequences that could entail from it so I don't think Bulma would suddenly be ethically inclined if she is willing to make risky exceptions like that.

And do you think Vegeta would be cool with his wife taking his unique ability and giving it to Yamcha just to up the numbers of quality fighters? although he has come a long way since the day he arrived and was against breeding with humans because their offspring would overcome them, he still retains his saiyan pride and he probably founds more entertaining the breeding technique rather than letting Bulma take some blood from him

DB has never really been about consequences, has it? The Gods don't give a damn what happens in the world, the Dragon Balls bring people back from the dead, the people with great power aren't really responsible.

But it was only in SUPER that consequences of power going to the wrong people really began to matter.

Her future self made the time machine in the first place, because she came from a dark future. The current version just wanted to match her talent, and was cut off by Beerus and Whis really fast.

I think she can or at least use some sort of Dragon Balls that are able to do that. Unfortunately that won't happen and I will eat my hat if that does happen.
