"News From Bulma" is the three hundred and fifty-seventh chapter of the Dragon Ball manga series by Akira Toriyama. It was first published in Japan in the 1992 #07 issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump.
Summary
Kuririn says the artificial humans think this is all just a game, but in any case, they are coming to kill Goku. Gohan asks if they are really that strong, and Kuririn says they are much stronger than in Trunks's time. Yamcha, flying the plane, asks what they should do now, but Kuririn does not really know. Trunks says that now that he knows where Doctor Gero's laboratory is, he could go back in time and destroy the artificial humans before they are activated. Kuririn says the time machine is not perfect though, and wonders if he goes back in time, could he really return to his own future. Gohan butts in, and asks even if Trunks goes back and destroys the artificial humans, what happens here, the artificial humans just vanish? Trunks says, "Oh yeah, I'd forgotten! Certainly, even if I go into the past and destroy the artificial humans, the future of that world would be saved. But in this world, where the artificial humans have already been activated, nothing will change!"
Kuririn does not understand. "Well... For example, Son Goku: I brought him medicine from the future for his heart disease, and it saved his life. But in my world, Goku is still someone who died in the past of the heart disease. In other words, if there is a future where Goku was saved, there is also a future where he has died. By just changing something small, there can be many futures." Kuririn asks that even if Goku defeated the artificial humans here, the artificial humans in his future would still exist, and Trunks says yes. Yamcha asks why he bothered coming into the past at all then. "My mother... Frustrated about all the killing done by the artificial humans, she said a peaceful future where they are defeated would be nice. But, my number one purpose was to find their weak point from watching Goku fight the artificial humans. Failing that, Goku could have come to my future and defeated them."
"However, for whatever reason, I've come to a past a bit different from the one I know. The timing of Goku's heart disease is different, there are now three artificial humans, and their strength is even greater." Gohan wonders why it has changed so much. Trunks does not know for sure, but suspects it is because of his coming in the time machine. Chi-Chi says he should not feel bad, because if he had not come, Goku would have died, and for that, she is grateful. Elsewhere, Vegeta is standing atop a mountain in some rocky desert. He suddenly turns Super Saiyan, screaming "DAMN IIIIT!!!!" He keeps powering up until all of the rock formations crumble, then he stops. "Isn't the Super Saiyan supposed to be completely unbeatable?! What the hell is this? This situation...!! For me to be beaten in such a disgraceful manner...!! I am the most elite prince of the Saiyans. As a Super Saiyan, I should be the greatest in all the universe... Is it that my opponents were artificial humans? Is this my limit?"
Vegeta pauses a minute. "No!! That's not it!! I'm Vegeta!! No matter how strong the enemy, I'll go even higher!! Watch me surpass it, no question... And Kakarrot... After I've defeated the artificial humans, it's your turn." In their van, No. 18 asks No. 17 if he even knows where Son Goku is. No. 17 supposes they could get information along the way, and No. 18 sighs. No. 16 suddenly says "Son Goku's house is in a mountain village in East 439 District." No. 17 asks if he heard that from Doctor Gero, and he did. No. 16 suggests they fly, and No. 18 thinks he is saying good things, this car business is pointless. No. 17 says what they are saying is pointless, he says this is fun.
The others are almost to Kame House, and someone suggests telling Bulma what is going on. Kuririn does not really want to, and tells Trunks she is pretty mean. Trunks laughs and says she is no different in the future. Kuririn gets on the radio phone and calls her, and when she picks up, she screams, asking if he is safe. She wants to know where he is calling from, since she tried phoning Goku's house after Gohan went home but no one answered. Then she wants to know where the future Trunks is. Kuririn says he is here, and he can hear her through the speakers. Bulma says a few days ago, someone found a strange vehicle while walking in the mountains, and wanted to keep it, but did not know how to start it, so he called Capsule Corporation and asked how. It definitely had "Capsule Corporation" written on the body, though it did not seem like one of their products. So they asked for a photo.
Bulma says she was shocked to see the photo, because it looked like Trunks's time machine, and it was all broken. Trunks says that is impossible, he put the time machine back in its capsule which is right here with him. Bulma had thought not, because this one looks really old, and then asks how many time machines her future self made. Trunks says just the one. Bulma thinks that cannot be, and decides to fax them the photo. When the photo arrives, Trunks freaks out. It is definitely his time machine, but all busted up and covered in moss.
