The half-Saiyan children inDragon Ball Z aren't the virtually consistent characters in the serial, with notable retcons happening left and right between Raditz's appearance on Earth and Goku flying off to train Uub as the next defender of Earth. One grapheme who doesn't become nearly as much screen time as the other half-Saiyans is Bulla, the 2nd child of Bulma and Vegeta.

UntilDragon Ball Super, Bulla had only really appeared in the ending ofDragon Ball Z andDragon Brawl GT and wasn't in the spotlight anywhere near as much as Trunks and Pan, who accompanied Goku in many of his adventures while she stayed at abode and went shopping with her dad. Though her little screentime could explain the confusion effectually her character, there are some bits of information that have been revealed nigh Bulla over the years that only brand no sense.

10 Her Apparent Lack Of Ability Compared To Other Half-Saiyans In GT

Starting with Gohan, the half-Saiyan children were expected to take a greater ability potential than even their parents, as stated by Vegeta early in the Saiyan saga that Saiyan hybrids are generally more than powerful than a pedigree Saiyan. This plot bespeak was pretty much abandoned later the Buu Arc, since it was apparent that, while they may have more potential, they don't always like to fight alongside their parents.

On the other paw, most of the hybrid Saiyans do display a decent power level for their age, particularly Goten, Trunks, and Pan, just Bulla seems to not be anywhere close to their level of power.

ix She Looks Much Older Than She Is

In her appearance in Dragon Ball GT, which takes identify five years after Goku has trained with Uub, Bulla should be 9 years old. However, her apparel sense and overall grapheme pattern make her wait like she is at to the lowest degree a young teenager, and that's not even bookkeeping for her height compared to Vegeta, though he isn't exactly alpine to begin with.

This design was somewhat problematic, also as the way her character is treated. An instance beingness when ii grown men came onto her while she and Vegeta were driving home from the shops, causing Vegeta to run them off the road.

8 Bulla Looks Nix Like Her Father

Because how dominant genetics are with Saiyans, peculiarly in the instance of Goku's sons, it would have been expected for Vegeta's children to look a picayune more similar him, simply they both wait more than similar Bulma'southward side rather than Vegeta's. While it could be argued that both of his children inherited some of their father's attitude, he and Bulma accept such similar personalities exterior of fighting that it could have come from either one of them.

Bulla, in particular, seems to be much more like a miniature version of her mother, though she is also prone to angry outbursts like her father, they are nowhere near equally destructive and are usually nil more than a tantrum in comparison.

7 Bulla Flying Under Baby'due south Control

In Dragon Ball GT, the final of the Tuffle's, Infant, comes to Earth to rebuild the Tuffle race following their anything by the Saiyans and Rex Vegeta, as well as take revenge on any surviving Saiyans left in the universe following their own destruction past Frieza.

Over the grade of the arc, Baby takes command of virtually of the Saiyans, including Bulla, to apply as his pawns in battle, though Bulla is shown existence able to fly while under his control, despite never showing she could exercise this before this point, unlike the others.

vi She Is Apparently Vegeta's Favorite

By the time Bulla comes around, Vegeta seems to be much more comfortable accepting his attachment to his family, specially inDragon Ball Super, equally he was unwilling to participate in the Tournament of Power until his daughter was born.

Following this, every bit well equally in Dragon Ball GT, he is much more parental and familial after Bulla is born, but this hasn't really extended to either Bulma or Trunks and he seems to play favorites with Bulla.

five She Tin can Influence Her Father'southward Determination In A Way That No One Else Tin

For the most part, Vegeta doesn't much care what other people think of him, equally his immense ego and pride tend to overshadow everything else in his life. Even Bulma isn't usually able to influence Vegeta all that much and he does whatever he wants despite what would exist best for his family.

However, in GT, Bulla mentions one time that she doesn't like his mustache, so he immediately shaves it off. Unlike Bulma or even Goku, Vegeta cares virtually almost what his daughter thinks of him.

iv Her Birthdate Changes And Makes Her Catechism Age Confusing

InDragon Brawl Super, Pan is clearly older than Bulla, every bit the latter isn't born until merely before the Tournament of Power while Pan is born but earlier the Golden Frieza arc. This seems to also exist the case withGT, equally Pan was stated to be older than Bulla despite their design's implying that Pan could be younger, but 1 piece of information conflicts with this knowledge.

In theDragon Ball GT Perfect Files, 2 volumes released that covers information non explicitly stated in the series, it says that Bulla is really older than Pan rather than younger, which would business relationship for her design but not for the established canon.

3 She Was Born Without A Tail

One of the Saiyan's most defining features, aside from their love of battle, is their prehensile tail, which Goku, Gohan, and Vegeta all had at one indicate. Unlike Goten and Trunks, who were born off-screen, Bulla was delivered past Whis on-screen and is shown without a tail.

Goten and Body'due south lack of tail could be explained abroad by proverb they were removed shortly subsequently their birth, just Bulla has no such excuse and seems to ostend the fact that the artistic minds backside the series are simply ignoring this aspect of Saiyan physiology now.

2 Her Conception Isn't Addressed

To be fair, none of the children's conceptions are addressed, every bit Dragon Brawl is meant to be a somewhat family-friendly series, aside from the violence, but Bulla's raises more than a few questions. She was conceived later on Vegeta had obtained the god ki and learned the Super Saiyan Blue transformation, which means that she should be 1 of the stronger Saiyan children going frontward.

But no 1 seems to have continued these dots even though Goten and Trunks proved just how stiff one-half-Saiyans can be when compared to their parents, as even Gohan wasn't almost as strong as Goten when he was young.

1 She Doesn't Dearest To Fight

While Gohan is an argument confronting the fact that all Saiyans, no thing how diluted their bloodline, honey to fight, Bulla seems to have even less interest in fighting than any other hybrid Saiyan.

Trunks and Goten are more than happy to throw down alongside their fathers and Pan has no upshot fighting with both Trunks and Goku in GT, while Gohan seems to run into-saw betwixt wanting to fight and wanting a quiet life with Pan and Videl.
