They look like monsters to you?

I never really considered it before, but an Evil Bulma would pose a real problem for the Dragonball cast. Especially if Vegeta became her personal henchman.

That's exactly what happened in GT

I HAVE BEEN A VERY NAUGHTY BOY

I avoided GT my whole life up til now and after 17 years of reading spoilers I figured I'd watch it. I"m only as far as when Trunks dresses in drag in order to drug a fish and this show is everything I wanted it to be. What initially pushed it was hearing there's not only a Super Android 17 saga but that it's only 7 episodes, but now what I really can't wait for is Evil Bulma.

Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.

I love that Bulma is still the smartest person in the room in Super. So many other things have been sidelined by Goku & Vegeta's Excellent Training Montage, but you can't do that Bulma.

Well, Vegeta and Bulma were possessed by Baby at the time, but yeah, you're right.

I just like the idea of an Bulma destroying everything and tanking damage in a Magetta-inspired Ironman suit. She could even bribe the Gods with delicious Earth food in order to avoid their intervention.
Send Vegeta off to deal with Goku, and she can handle the rest of the cast with relative ease. Goku and friends would be doomed.

But Bulma is a pretty nice person so that'll never happen.

Technically Pilaf is just as much of a genius as Bulma, hes just chronically broke after Goku smashed his castle. He makes Dragon Radars and robots just as well as Bulma, on a shoestring budget. I bet he could help Bulma repair the time machine, but they might not want his help if he outs himself.

Bulma is basically providing extensive super villain welfare at this point. It's a good investment, better to have the likes of Emperor Pilaf and Majin Buu (and even uulong :v:) chilling at your compound enjoying the good life, rather than out scheming to try and steal food or molest people (or in the case of Buu, both).

Edit: I recently rewatched episode 50. Funny detail: when Bulma searches frantically for Cells time machine she pulls a bunch of junk out of a drawer and throws it on the floor in a panic. What does Bulma keep in her junk drawer? A clock, a pencil, a can of soda, a cup ramen, and.....a Tec-9 Machine Gun :v:

Chrono Trigger is basically just Dragonball anyway. Chrono = Goku, Lucca = Bulma, Magus = Piccilo, Robo = Gohan, etc

Prepare for trouble!

And make it a double!
So seriously, does Bulma know the three kids chillin at her compound are the first Big Villains she encountered with Goku, but just kids now? I can't imagine she HASN'T figured it out, but yeah decided making friends with them was better than not.

Oh yeah... I wonder what will happen if/when Bulma finds out they contributed to Frieza's revival.

I imagine that she hasn't given a poo poo to actually think about who those people even were back then.

Bulma has one, possibly two children, with a dude who unrepentantly killed thousands of sentient beings and obsessively trains to be stronger so that he can kill ever tougher people so I'm pretty sure "attempted world domination" is pretty minor in so far as personality traits she'll overlook.

Billions of sentient beings if you count the filler episodes. Though honestly shse friends with Buu, and he has the highest body count in the universe. Beerus might be higher, I don't know if Beerus is older than Buu.

Oolong is a serial pedophile, Yamcha is a road bandit, TIen is an assassin, Piccolo is a demon, etc. The entire team is full of people that normal society should have put on trial and sent to the electric chair long ago.
