Future Trunks says Bulma and Vegeta never got married in his timeline because “you know how my mum can be” She didn’t marry Yamacha when he suggested it either And the only time she mentioned it, was when he died and she thought he wasn’t coming back. Infact i always got the impression, the second Yamacha mentioned settling down and having a baby in the future Trunks arc That she backed off their relationship pretty quickly.

I used to not want to get married because I didn't want to be anyone's husband and father. Now I want to get married so I can be somebody's wife and mother. Time is the fire in which we become S'mores, honey! (People change, so do Toriyama's needs as a creator. There's nothing really deeper to it than that). 💙💜💖 She/Her 💙💜💖 Top blacksymbiote Beyond Newbie Posts: 114 Joined: Mon Jul 21, 2014 3:40 pm

I took that line to mean Bulma was a nagging person which would explain why Vegeta would rather train in space. Top User avatar miguelnuva1 I Live Here Posts: 2895 Joined: Wed Sep 19, 2012 9:23 pm

Trunks just means that Bulma's personality would have driven off a Pre Buu arc Vegeta and Yamcha and her didn't fit. http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/6509 ... anner2.jpg Top Michsi I Live Here Posts: 4557 Joined: Wed Dec 01, 2010 5:10 pm

I don't think Bulma ever mentioned she didn't want to get married. In Future Trunks' timeline she just never got around to do it because Vegeta dies before they get close enough for her to consider it. I always liked that Trunks is technically the result of a fling that only later develops into a full fledged relationship. As for her seeming less enthusiastic about marrying Yamcha, I think that was because at that point she had pretty much fallen out of love with him.

Because the character got a reboot sometime in the late Freeza Arc. (You can call it character development if you like) Most of her defining qualities get abandoned in favor of making her less overtly horrible. She's no longer lustful or licentious and becomes way less petty. She also transitions into the group's only sane human and moral center. It was a good change as the new Bulma is still vain enough that her attempts to make the fighters see sense doesn't come off as moralizing. Also, I trust the new Bulma with a child! I cannot say that same about the young girl who shot Goku right between the eyes. My opinions suck. You should probably mute me to spare yourself having to see them. "If someone gets Star Wars wrong? Death threats. If a kid learns that a shitty song they liked when they were 12 was a cover of a song made in 1984? Death threats. If someone makes a Sonic game that's too dark and edgy? Death threats. If someone makes a Sonic game that isn't too dark and edgy? Death threats. If someone criticizes Naruto? Lots of death threats. Sexualizes pokemon? UNIVERSAL PRAISE." - Plague of Gripes Top User avatar miguelnuva1 I Live Here Posts: 2895 Joined: Wed Sep 19, 2012 9:23 pm

So she grew up right before becoming a parent like most people. http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/6509 ... anner2.jpg Top User avatar It_Is_Ayna_You_Flips Regular Posts: 740 Joined: Fri Jan 03, 2020 7:16 pm

Maybe it's just where I grew up but most people weren't "grown up" until their first kid was two or three years old. My opinions suck.

People grow up differently at different times. Needing to have a second or third kid doesn't necessarily force someone to grow up. Hell, some people wait until their late thirties or forties to have kids precisely because they know they cannot financially support them. Then you have some people who can't haaaaave kids but that doesn't mean they [not me] aren't mature. 💙💜💖 She/Her 💙💜💖 Top Dbzfan94 Born 'n Bred Here Posts: 5743 Joined: Mon Dec 16, 2013 5:16 pm Location: Mt.

I mean its pretty much canon that Future Vegeta hit it and quit it, and then got killed by the Androids not long after. So its not like she had a chance to. Top User avatar miguelnuva1 I Live Here Posts: 2895 Joined: Wed Sep 19, 2012 9:23 pm

As stated a lot of people mature differently with kids being the reason. I'm sure Toriyama knew Trunks was about to come into the picture so he had Bulma grow up right before making her a mother. http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/6509 ... anner2.jpg Top User avatar miguelnuva1 I Live Here Posts: 2895 Joined: Wed Sep 19, 2012 9:23 pm

We know Vegeta hit it and didn't marry her. With Goku gone and him likely being a ssj he may have at least started courting Bulma. http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/6509 ... anner2.jpg Top Dbzfan94 Born 'n Bred Here Posts: 5743 Joined: Mon Dec 16, 2013 5:16 pm Location: Mt. Paozu

"Courting" isnt really accurate for Vegeta. Bulma was thirsty, so if anything she went after him. Top User avatar Psajdak Beyond-the-Beyond Newbie Posts: 496 Joined: Wed Jan 01, 2020 7:37 am

Their relationship is certainly far from being a conventional marriage, about similar if not more so than Goku and Chi Chi's. DB collection related goals as of now: 1.) Find decent priced copy of Dragon Box Z Vol. 4 (Done) 2.) Collect rest of manga 3.) Get rest of Daizenshuu (2-7) Top User avatar JulieYBM Patreon Supporter Posts: 18288 Joined: Mon Jan 16, 2006 10:25 pm Location: 🏳️‍⚧️🍉

Dragon Ball is way too squeaky clean to have Trunks be a child born out of wedlock. Blooma and Vegeta are married. 💙💜💖 She/Her 💙💜💖 Top User avatar miguelnuva1 I Live Here Posts: 2895 Joined: Wed Sep 19, 2012 9:23 pm

Courting to Vegeta is staying around and not killing you at that point in the series. http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/6509 ... anner2.jpg Top Michsi I Live Here Posts: 4557 Joined: Wed Dec 01, 2010 5:10 pm

But wasn't he born out of wedlock? They get married later, but I think initially they didn't even technically live together. Top Post Reply Display: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by: AuthorPost timeSubject Direction: AscendingDescending
