“I miss when Vegeta would eat other aliens”: Dragon Ball DAIMA is a Fever Dream for Bulma and Vegeta Fans

SUMMARY

• Vegeta and Bulma have been together for a long time, but Dragon Ball never really focused on their relationship.
• However, Dragon Ball DAIMA decided to give them a chance and explored different aspects of their relationship.
• Fans have shared their reactions about how they feel towards their growth as a couple.

Akira Toriyama’s last contribution to the Dragon Ball franchise, Dragon Ball DAIMA, is slowly becoming one of the fan-favorite series as it explores the many different aspects of the Dragon Ball narrative. Some of them are newly introduced to the story, while others are old references included from the previous storylines that were left unattended.

One such aspect that Dragon Ball DAIMA has exclusively focused on is the relationship between Vegeta and Bulma. While the two have been husband and wife for quite some time, they do not usually act like one. This is mainly because of their different personalities, but even then fans have hoped for them to get closer for the longest time.

And it appears like Dragon Ball DAIMA is, at last, providing fans with the relationship they have always desired between Vegeta and Bulma. The series has multiple scenes that are just dedicated to the two exploring their relationship and hinting at the experiences they have with each other in the Dragon Ball storyline.

Vegeta and Bulma’s relationship in Dragon Ball DAIMA

Vegeta and Bulma have been together for a long time, but the franchise has never given any kind of special focus to their relationship. Although there were a few moments where the two showed affection towards each other, it did not give much detail about their relationship to Dragon Ball fans. DAIMA, on the other hand, explores their relationship more profoundly.

The new Dragon Ball series has special moments that showcase Vegeta and Bulma’s love for each other in their own ways. From Vegeta’s possessiveness towards Bulma to his being protective of her when he senses danger, Dragon Ball DAIMA makes sure that the bond between the two doesn’t go unnoticed like the previous Dragon Ball series.

Through his actions, Vegeta has explicitly revealed what Bulma means to him and how close they have come after being through so much. Bulma has turned him into a family man, and while he won’t accept it, Dragon Ball DAIMA shows the change in Vegeta because of Bulma’s influence on him as his wife.

Dragon Ball fans have mixed reactions to Vegeta and Bulma’s relationship

While the newfound portrayal of Vegeta and Bulma’s relationship in Dragon Ball DAIMA certainly adds substance to the narrative of the series, it also affects Vegeta’s individual character development. Although he is growing as a character, his egotistic and arrogant personality, which was loved by fans, is being slowly bent.

This was seen in the latest Dragon Ball DAIMA episode where, after fighting a major battle, Goku offers a healing “bug” to Vegeta, and he refuses to eat it, claiming that he does not eat insects and has become more refined.

Dragon Ball fans instantly understood that this was the result of Bulma’s influence on him and called Vegeta out for it.

I miss when Vegeta would eat other aliens

bulma really saw vegeta and said "i can fix him" and DID IT

She has bro whipped

Bulma really said "I'm gonna make this man a little more refined" and boy she did, iirc he cooks too now?

Bruh sugar momma been spending

Irrespective of this, Vegeta’s growth as a husband is truly commendable, and the Saiyan Prince has come a long way. It may look like he has left the old, egotistic Vegeta from the previous Dragon Ball storylines behind, but it has not affected his strength at all, as he proved in the latest episode of Dragon Ball DAIMA.

Dragon Ball DAIMA is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
