The Buruma fandom...coming out of the closet

Post by Bardock the Mexican » Sat Nov 04, 2006 1:59 am

I have to say that there is somthing that can be said about the fans of Bulma. Yep, I am one of them and yes this is a lame topic. I really want you to think about it and just admit to the unspeakable. You thought Bulma was *el gasp* ...hot at some point of ignorance/your life whichever you prefer. I mean there are times when she is on the screen fully and she (strange as it is) looks good. I am talking early episodes here and of course in DB. If you thought I meant pre-GT times (Trunks story arc to the less initiated in DB-ese). In order to celebrate coming out of the closet I am asking to see pics of when you think Bulma was looking her hottest. No this is not a place to put your love notes, stories of masturbational love, or any other incriminating evidence of that kind. If you feel the need to get somthing off your chest, the confessional booth is always open (jk!). With that....let the Buruma fandom fangasm begin.

I really liked Bulma in her early DB times. I especially like how Toriyama exposed her for comic relief. I laughed every time Yamcha was caught in a misfit of looking at her front & his instant shock/reaction to it. Ah, the good times.

I liked the images of Bulma on the Dragonball covers. She looked cool, tough, young and well hot I guess, (well as hot as a drawing person can be).

I also liked the comedy aspect Bulma brought being a female, especially her relationship with Roshi. I also liked the way she brought humour to the Red Ribbon saga.

I've always found Buruma annoying and arrogant.

I'm a big fan of Bulma. I liked her the best in her DragonBall days, when she had those scenes with Roshi and bossed everyone around. And she's just very funny. I also like her in DBZ, but it's too bad that most filler scenes in the Namek saga were about her, since she became a little irritating there (which is not entirely Bulma's fault but the ones who thought up the fillers). I also really liked her in the Jinzoningen/Cell saga since she was also a great help there. And she of course hooks up with Vegeta.

And she tries to seduce all the good looking men they come across... General Blue (who turns out to be gay) and Zarbon (who turns out to be a villain and a ugly looking monster)!

So yeah, Bulma for the win! I even named my domain after her ^___^

Bulma is only good until the 23rd Budokai. Then ChiChi blows her out of the water.

For me, this is the Bulma that was hot.

Image is kinda big; sorry. Don't have time at the moment to resize and rehost it...

And something about her in the Capsule Corp jacket and holding a cigarette made her hot in the Great Saiyaman saga, too.

Yeah, I have to agree with you there. Though Chi-Chi wasn't presented as sexy for very long after that (Not saying she wasn't, just that the "Naggy Chi-Chi" took over after that)

I absolutely hate Tiffany Vollmer's Bulma. She made the character just unlikeable and obnoxious.

If my wife looked like that, I'd deal with the nagging. Not to mention she'd have less to nag about with me than with Goku. >_>

Talking about a girl with coming out of the closet as the title, eh? :) Anyway, I guess Bulma is pretty attractive; for a cartoon character.

*mutters to self in a low tone* Bulma is a pretty girl. Threre are you happy? Bulma's hottest moment is probably...hm... bunny suit(?). I never really thought about this before so sorry for the bland response. :)

I thought Bulma looked best in that red dress from the Buu saga episodes... Though I gotta admit she was hottest in the DB days.

Haha wow, I'm surprised more guys aren't owning up to this. I know so many girls wouldn't hesitate to tell you about their character crush XD.

My Buruma fandom is worse, I'm perhaps the only male to like the vegeta/bulma stuff.

She pretty much adds comic relief to any really serious situation as far as I can think of right now.

Red Ribbon, Goku was in severe trouble= Bulma humour.

Batling at Baba's palace= Bulma humour.

Yamcha trying to get the Dragon Balls= Bulma humour..... and hentai to a small part. XD.

Ah yes, good times.
