Owing toDragon Ball‘s immense influence, Akira Toriyama is considered a legend not only in Japan but worldwide.Dragon Ballarguably ranks among the most popular franchises in the anime community, enthralling fans for decades without leaving a moment of boredom.
WithDragon Ball Daimamaking its highly anticipated premiere later this Fall,Toeicarries forward Akira Toriyama’s lasting legacy, ensuring it lives on forever.Dragon Ball Superbrought back the fan-favorite characters on big screens, leaving several fans thrilled with the franchise’s return.
While Vegeta and Goku are respected for their immense strength and glorious acts, Saiyans are often regarded as the worst parents due to their neglectful nature. However, such criticism now seems irrelevant, as Bulma displayed the worst parenting practices with Trunks, which surprisingly many fans overlooked.
Bulma Holds the Spot for the Worst Parent in the EntireDragon BallSeries
In every iconic series, there’s always one character who faces tons of fan criticism and earns the title of the worst character. For theDragon Ballfans, that character is Bulma. Back in theDBclassic, Akira Toriyama introduced viewers to kid Goku and his early adventures on Earth. During Goku’s quest to find all dragon balls, he encounters Bulma, who introduces him to the legend of theseven mystical gems.
While Bulma’s character became much more likable inDBZandDBS, many fans found her irresistibly annoying back in theDBclassic. Undoubtedly, Bulma’s relentlessobjectification and sxualizationin the series ruined her character. Apart from her hyper-sxualized character, Toriyama also showcased Bulma’s worst parenting approach with the upbringing of Trunks.
Despite holding scientific expertise and knowledge, Bulma never encourages Trunks to follow in her footsteps or pursue a studious path. On the other hand, her friend and Goku’s wife,Chi-Chi, always pushed herkids to be studious, especially Gohan, so they did not end up like Goku and her.
Not to mention, Chi-Chi even trained Goten in martial arts, whereas Bulma was more busy with her own self rather than nurturing Trunks. Also, back in the Android Saga, Bulma brought her newborn baby onto the battlefield, making many fans question her motherly instincts.

In comparison to Bulma, Vegeta emerges as a better parent. InDragon Ball Super,fans witnessed Vegeta’s adoring nature and selfless love for his newborn daughter, Bulla. Just after Bulla’s birth, Vegeta develops a strong attachment to her and becomes very protective of her wellbeing.
Not to forget, he joined the Tournament of Power to save his family from annihilation. Vegeta is actually a better parent than fans often realize, especially since Bulma’s motherly instincts were practically nonexistent.
Dragon DaimaCould Feature the Biggest Showdown: Beerus vs. Omega Shenron
In Dragon Ball GT,Akira Toriyamaintroduced fans to a formidable opponent where victory seemed uncertain for Z fighters. Omega Shenron was the final villain in DB GT who even surpassed SSJ 4 Goku in terms of strength.
Goku Hiding His Super Saiyan 3 Form and Getting Humiliated to Protect Vegeta’s Ego is One of the Most Disrespectful Moments in Dragon Ball Z
Amid Dragon Ball GT and Daima’s similarities, fans are curious to see the return of an iconic villain, Omega Shenron. Omega Shenron was so immensely powerful that Goku and Vegeta had to undergo the fusion technique (SSJ4 Gogeta) just to match his unparalleled strength.
Back inDBS, Shenron trembles in fear just by Beerus’ mere presence. Since Omega Shenron is the result of the evil negative energy of the original Eternal Dragon, fans are expecting the iconicDB GTvillain to finally confront his fear andtake down the God of Destructionin the upcomingDB: Daima.
Dragon Ballis available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
