==Appearances in other media==
===Cross Epoch===
Bulma is partnered up with the One Piece character Nami in the crossover manga Cross Epoch. Both are space pirates, and Bulma is shown to be an older sister-like figure to Nami (due to Nami calling Bulma nee-san; which is used in Japanese to call a close senpai "older sister"). Later, at the end of the story, Bulma and Nami are seen at Shenron's tea party.
===Live-action movies===
Bulma appears in the live-action adaptations of Dragon Ball. In Dragonball Evolution, where she is played by Emmy Rossum. Rossum describes her portrayal of Bulma as, "pretty bad-ass, but still quirky and fun, and kind of ridiculous in the way she is in the anime."
Bulma also appears in the 2010 live action battle show Dragon Ball Kai: Super Battle Stage, which is loosely based on the 1993 movie Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan.

==Trivia==
*Bulma was originally a parody of a character from Journey to the West (like Goku was too). She was adapted from (also called Tripitaka), the monk and the main protagonist of the novel. Like in the original novel, she leads the band of five consisting of herself, Goku, Oolong, Yamcha and Puar (each an adaptation of a Journey to the West character) in search of the Dragon Balls.Daizenshuu 2, 1995 Despite Xuanzang being a male, Bulma being a female follows a tradition in Chinese opera where the role is performed by a female actor.
**It's also worth noting that in recent Japanese culture, it's also quite common for Xuanzang to be portrayed by a woman, if not at least be portrayed as an effeminate male, which dates back as early as the 1978 drama .
*Bulma was revealed a month before the Dragon Ball manga started, in postcards sent to members of the Akira Toriyama Preservation Society.
*Bulma's name is an allusion to an undergarment, modern bloomers in particular.
**Bulma is sometimes incorrectly assumed to have the surname Briefs due to her father's name. This is actually his given name, not a surname; no other member of his family uses it. This is further clarified in Dragon Ball Super where Bulma is simply called "Dr. Bulma".
*Bulma is the most recurring female character in the Dragon Ball series.
*She is the source for most of Dragon Ball's examples of as she can be seen either partially or completely exposed in a sexually suggestive manner in numerous situations, most of which take place during Dragon Ball.
*Bulma's hobby is inventing.Dragon Ball: Super Exciting Guide, 2009
*Bulma's favorite food is strawberries. Originally, her wish with the Dragon Balls was to have a lifetime supply of them.
*Bulma's favorite vehicle is all vehicles.
*Her Citizen Number is SSC 41453.Dragon Ball episode 43, "A Trip to the City"
*She has a blood type of B.
*Bulma's brassiere measurement at the beginning of Dragon Ball is 34C.Dragon Ball chapter 5, "Oo! Oo! Oolong!"
*Bulma's first animated appearance was a cameo outside of Dragon Ball in the film Yatsura 3: Remember My Love, which came out very shortly after the manga had begun. She wears the outfit (later named the Wild Rider Suit in Xenoverse series) from the cover of Chapter 4.
*Bulma's hair has wandered between green, blue and even purple tones inconsistently throughout the series. It is worth noting that Dragon Ball was animated all the way back in the 1980s and the 1990s, long before digital colors were brought into the production process. As such, her hair color occasionally varies from episode to episode, as it simply depended on how the inks were mixed in back in the day. Throw the constantly rotating animation supervisors into the situation, and it is easy to see how such a discrepancy arose. Modern character sheets sometimes even have the hex values for the colors written to avoid this. In Weekly Shōnen Jump #31, 1989 power level list, her hair is colored blond in the background.
*In all 4 of the Dragon Ball series, Bulma carries a habit of not watching her mouth which could've often get her killed or get her into serious arguments.
*In episode 47 of Dragon Ball, "Kame House - Found!", Krillin accidentally calls Bulma "Bloomer", the garment of which she is named.
*Bulma likes her men to have short hair as said in episode 19 (this is more obvious in the Japanese dub).
*Bulma was a smoker at one point. She is seen smoking in the unedited Dragon Ball and in the manga. She can be seen later smoking again, at some points during Dragon Ball Z, such as the time during the Great Saiyaman Saga when Gohan asks her to make him a suit. It's possible she picked up the habit from her father, a well-known chain smoker in the series.
*Bulma has been turned into food twice in her life: a carrot once in Dragon Ball, and chocolate once by Super Buu in Dragon Ball Z.
*In Dragon Ball Forever's poll of the top 20 best characters, Bulma was voted number 17 by Japanese fans, placing her above Android 17, Yajirobe, and Videl.
*There is a rumor surrounding Budokai 3 that Bulma is playable, due to the fact that she is seen in the 11th stage of Training Mode, where she explains how to use capsules during a duel. She hardly moves, but it remains evident that a full 3D model of Bulma exists in the game. Also, in the bonus DVD packaged with the special edition of the game, Tiffany Vollmer can be seen recording combat voice work for Bulma. There is some truth to this rumor, however, as using cheat methods, Bulma can be played in Budokai 3, but has no techniques, nor can she be designated skills.
*She has several characteristics of her zodiac sign, Leo. She is self-centered, bossy, and vain at times, but she can be kind, generous, loyal and protective, too.
*Bulma, though no one ever calls her on it, married the man who murdered and/or wounded several of friends and was responsible for ordering the Saibaman that killed her ex (as he told it to go all out or perish as the Saibaman that lost to Tien had been, thus the Saibaman had little choice but to self-destruct and take Yamcha with it as it would have been killed by Vegeta if it hadn't).
**However, it should he noted that Vegeta unlike Yamcha has been faithful to Bulma and loves her for her personality which reminds him of strong willed female Saiyans. Additionally, Vegeta is a bit more prudish than other men she knows, as he considered Bulma vulgar for telling him out loud not to try anything naughty with her when inviting him to stay at Capsule Corporation. He is also protective of her too the point of defending her honor such as his reaction to Goku promising Elder Kai a kiss from Bulma without discussing it with her or Vegeta first or when Beerus retaliated against Bulma for slapping him and was angered to learn of her future counterpart's death at the hands of Goku Black.
*In Dragon Ball Legends, Bulma (Youth)/Bunny Girl Bulma (Youth) finds certain versions of adult Goku attractive to the point during her battle intro dialogue, she is totally flabbergasted that Goku grew up to be such "a hottie" as she puts it.
**Humorously the Bulma (Youth) that befriends Shallot, briefly wonders if Present Goku is her future husband when he reveals he knows her (as this Bulma came from the period before she met Goku), only for Jaco to confirm he isn't.
**She also becomes acquainted with pre-Saiyan conflict Vegeta when Beerus has him train Shallot, Gohan, and Zahha. Neither Bulma nor Vegeta suspect that their present counterparts are married. After getting to know Vegeta, Bulma flirtatiously asks him if he returned to the Capitol because he got lonely (showing she retains her counterpart's attraction to Vegeta).
