Bulma/Power and Abilities

==Power==
;Anime
She is an untrained Earthling and not a fighter, although during the Garlic Jr. Saga, largely thanks to her inhibitions being destroyed thanks to Black Water Mist infection, she was shown to be a difficult adversary and even utilized some superhuman abilities such as high jumps, as demonstrated when she, alongside a similarly infected Chi-Chi, cornered Maron as well as when she and the other infected pinned down Piccolo. In addition, while arguing with Chi-Chi after Maron not only called the pair "middle-aged", but Bulma falsely implied that Chi-Chi was older, she alongside Chi-Chi comically proceeded to unleash electric bolts from their eyes towards each other.
;Statements by authors and guidebooks
The movie pamphlet for Dragon Ball Z: The Tree of Might states that Bulma has a power level of 12.

Intelligence
Although her physical strength is that of a regular human, Bulma possesses a practically superhuman level intellect, being able to create technology capable of feats beyond contemporary science. She usually displays keen analytical skills and ability to recognize design and engineering styles, even being able to understand the engineering sensibilities of her alternate future counterpart's time machine. Given that her father was the inventor of the Dynocap technology that is frequently used throughout the series, it stands to reason that Bulma is well versed in compressible micro-technology, which is shown in her creation of Saiyan battle armor, which adjusts to fit the size of the wearer, which likely possesses the ability to stretch to Oozaru-sized beings just as the original models did. Her inventions are often used for her quest for the Dragon Balls or for her father's company, as well as for helping her friends on winning important battles. Many of these creations, like Dragon Radar, are so complex that experts and scientists have not been able to understand them.
With time, she obtained a great understanding of alien technology and biology, as she was able to design Saiyan battle armor that mimicked the properties of Vegeta's armor that he wore on Planet Namek, and made her own variant that could keep up with the rigors of Super Saiyan and above-levels of exertion and physical stress. Her understanding of Saiyan biology comes into play with her ability to design training equipment for Vegeta and Trunks, knowing the parameters of Saiyan physiology. This is likely due to having witnessed the increases in strength that Saiyans are capable of due to having seen Goku gradually improved his strength and abilities for decades as well as having raised half-Saiyan children and having had close contact with Gohan and Goten during their lives as well. She has also had the opportunity to improve her scientific knowledge by studying various pieces of alien technology from Jaco's Spaceship as a child, Raditz's Scouter, to the Nameless Namekian's Spaceship, an Attack Ball remote, and Battle Armor which she either repaired and/or reverse engineered. Additionally, she's studied the technology of other scientists such as Android 17's blueprints, Android 16 while repairing him, and the Blutz Wave Generator originally developed by herself for Baby while infected with a Tuffle parasite. She also studied her future self's work in the field of Time Machine development after receiving access to her late counterpart's notebook thus potential knowledge of future developments in the technology of an alternate future timeline. 
Bulma also has proven several times to be a very capable pilot, even being able to drive spaceships and large airplanes. Her skills as a pilot are such that she is able to perform many complex and daring maneuvers at supersonic speeds both in the sky and in sub-aquatic environments, even being able to intimidate her son when she is properly motivated. This was best seen when trying to goad a reaction out of her stoic husband in mid-transit to an island for a family vacation, with her aerial antics being enough terrify and unnerve Trunks. 
Though she does not possess the ability to manipulate ki herself, according to an anime filler scene where Captain Ginyu possessed her body, Bulma has been able to sense the power of other fighters. However, this was a temporary skill obtained from Captain Ginyu. Although she is not a fighter, Bulma is skilled at shooting by using different types of guns and machines. From time to time, her strength has been exaggerated for comedic purposes, even to the point where she is able to perform feats of strength normally thought to be impossible for a regular woman. 
Her abilities as an inventor even as a teenager was enough out do even the likes of Senbei Norimaki who had trouble figuring out how to fix the Dragon Radar she had created despite his own talent as an inventor. Even as a young girl, Jaco was so amazed by the power of a Ray Gun she had invented he even asked her if she would join the Galactic Patrol when she was older in recognition of her skill. 
However, despite her intelligence, it is shown to be rivaled in certain areas by Emperor Pilaf such as programming skills as shown in Dragon Ball Super when he rewrote the Time Machine's software which Bulma herself noted was better and allowed it to remain showing she is smart enough to recognize when someone's talent is greater than her own.
In Dragon Ball Fusions, she even develops a device called the Metamo-Ring through her research into Fusion which results in the creation of a new type of fusion called EX-Fusion demonstrating she has developed enough understanding of fusion techniques and the processes that make fusion possible to develop an entirely new form of it through the combination of technology and Metamoran Fusion Dance technique.
In Xenoverse 2, Xeno Trunks notes that the Hero Figures created by main timeline Bulma are definitely her work given that they had been detailed down to the tiniest points indicating she has a fine attention to detail. He also explains she created the figures and Hero Colosseum Battle Simulator using data she collected while in Conton City. Bulma considers them to be one of her greatest inventions.

Techniques
*Amorous Glance – A technique used when she tries to seduce General Blue. Bulma can also use this seduction technique in the Origins series. According to Bulma in the manga just prior to using it, this was her most powerful technique at her disposal.
**Blow A Kiss - A variation of Amorous Glance used by Bunny Girl Bulma (Youth) as her Special Quirk Skill in Dragon Ball Legends. While winking as she performs a sexy pose as she blows a kiss triggering various supportive effects.
**Stripping – Bulma uses this technique to get the Dragon Ball from Goku, but it did not work due to Goku's naïve pure hearted nature.
*Slapping - When enraged, Bulma has been known to slap people most notably Beerus after he beat up several of her guests ruining her birthday party, though he retaliated by backhanding her. In Battle of Gods, she also gleefully slaps Goku at Vegeta's suggestion when Goku reveals he had been watching when Vegeta became enraged after Beerus hit Bulma.
*Hikou - In both Dokkan Battle and Dragon Ball Legends, Bulma utilizes a jetpack due to her inability to use ki-based flight. 
*Blutz Burst – Bulma fires powerful Blutz Waves from the Blutz Wave Generator for both supplementary and offensive purposes. Named in the Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game.
*Elbow Strike – An attack used in the Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game.
* - Bulma's Super Attack in Dragon Ball Heroes where she brandishes a large Ray Gun that she aims before winking and firing a powerful energy blast.
*EX-Fusion - The fusion technique from Dragon Ball Fusions that utilizes the Metamoran Fusion Dance and Metamo-Rings developed by Bulma which allows two people with strong affinity to fuse together resulting in a fusion weaker than their Metamoran counterparts though gives them the advantage of being able to remain fused as long as they continue to wear the single Metamo-Ring created by the fusion and can defuse at will by removal of said ring. Bulma claims it combines the strengths of Fusion Dance and Kaioshin-based Potara fusion. While Bulma is never shown using this technique herself, she is responsible for its development.
*Surprise Blaster - A Ray Gun used by Bunny Girl Bulma (Youth) as part of her Ultimate Attack Arts in Dragon Ball Legends. Contained inside a hidden capsule that Bulma stores inside her costume within her cleavage which she will stealthily remove while feigning surrender, before pulling it out and shooting the opponent at point blank range while winking and posing provocatively.
|-|Forms=
Forms
;Carrot
 
During her encounter with Monster Carrot in Dragon Ball, Bulma fell victim to Monster Carrot's Magic Touch which magically turned her into a carrot. In this form Bulma lacks the ability to speak or move, leaving her virtually helpless, forcing her friends Goku and Puar to protect her from Monster Carrot who was using her carrot form as a hostage, even threatening to eat her. Goku manages to defeat Monster Carrot who is forced to restore Bulma back to her normal form.
;Namekian Frog
In the anime, during the Frieza Saga, Bulma fell victim to Ginyu's Body Change technique after she inadvertently created a Universal Translator for Frog Ginyu allowing him to utilize his Body Change to swap bodies with her. Bulma was horrified by her situation which was made worse by Ginyu in her body removing the translator preventing her from speaking. However, she managed to follow Ginyu and managed to get Gohan to realize that Ginyu had stolen her body. Gohan then helped her return to her body by throwing her in the path of Ginyu's Body Change when he tried to swap bodies with Piccolo allowing Bulma to return to her original body trapping Ginyu in his frog body again until he managed to perform a written variation of Body Change on Tagoma in Dragon Ball Super with Bulma expressing hatred towards that "frog" (referring to Ginyu) for having stolen her body previously once she realized he had returned to join his master Frieza in taking revenge though her husband later killed Ginyu effectively avenging what Ginyu had put her through.
;Demon Clan
During the Garlic Jr. Saga, Bulma is infected by the Black Water Mist becoming a vampire-like Demon Clansman. In this state the evil desires, she would normally suppress take control driving her mad to the point of being willing to kill her own friends for it. She also becomes a devoted follower of Garlic Jr. and the Spice Boys whom she worships. On a similar note, largely because of her lack of inhibition as a result of these evil desires taking control of her, she also demonstrated superhuman strength and reflexes such as her jumping onto the roof of Master Roshi's house in a single bound as well as leaping back off to corner Maron, as well as her and the other infected managing to pin down Piccolo with little effort.
;Mini
With the Earth's Dragon Balls, Gomah wishes for everyone who fought Majin Buu to turn into children and babies in the beginning of Dragon Ball Daima. In this state, she is known as Bulma (Mini)
;Infected
During the events of Dragon Ball GT in the Baby Saga, Bulma along with her husband, daughter, and son (as well as almost all the inhabitants of Earth) was Infected by Tuffle Parasites. While infected Bulma acted as Baby's second command (which is somewhat fitting as Baby had taken Bulma's husband Vegeta as his host) applying her scientific genius to assisting Baby Vegeta in his plans. She was also instrumental in developing the Blutz Wave Generator which allowed Baby Vegeta to transform into his Golden Great Ape form. The Tuffle Parasite infecting her was later destroyed by the Sacred Water. Though she retains her scientific genius, the Tuffle parasite makes her an evil and loyal follower of Baby who despises the Saiyan Goku.
