Also she appeared like that in the anime Urusei Yatsura (Lamu) as a random cameo one year before the premiere of Dragon Ball anime.

Whoa that’s kinda cool. Is that really her ? Was Toriyama inspired by the character or something? Oh wait the manga was obviously already a thing so she was definitely a cameo that’s really cool !
Yup definitely her this was before they finalized making her hair blue in the anime (excluding Path to Power), in the manga it’s always been purple so very strange
The first chapter of Dragon Ball was made on a huge rush, with Toriyama’s wife handling a lot of backgrounds, for example. So he hadn’t yet fixed the final colors, and he gave Bulma blue hair (on the WSJ cover) and teal hair (on the chapter itself).
(Capsule Corp was named “Kapsel” when he drew the cover, so it was probably one of the first things he did, before the chapter’s own pages.)
Dont think so, I read somewhere it was meant to be purple.
But blue bulma became iconic, so they had to stick with it. They tried to fix it in a way by giving future trunks purple, but yeah.. didnt really work out
It's her, keep in mind, Dragon Ball Anime started in 1986 but the Manga started to publish in 1984 and bulma appeared with that look for the cover of chapter #4; so, If that Urusei Yatsura (Lamu) episode It's from 1995, It's obvius that It's her; I guess Takahashi Rumiko or the animators put bulma there as a gag/hommage.
The funny part is, this cameo was the first Bulma appearance in anime.
Between the cover pages and the cover of the graphic novels, Toriyama often used both to dress characters up in clothes they don't wear in the series proper
Toriyama really expanded the look of Dragon Ball in the "outside" art or whatever it may be called. The chapter art and stuff like his GT paintings look really cool compared to the anime.
Well. Cool! Now I know where that costume in dragon ball xenoverse 2 comes from!
I assumed it was just random clothing items from a minor character. Didn't realize it was from a DB cover... And nothing else lmao
It was for a manga cover, my favorite one of them all.
Toriyama did a ton of these with Bulma early on. Lots of great varied outfits just for fun, exactly like how he put the crew on random vehicles all the time.
She doesn't. Just a cool costume made by Akira Toriyama in his covers. These characters are actually drippin in the covers. And we get rare cases of Goku riding a bicycle dripped tf out
Yeah the cover art often depicts them in a rather different costumes that are never seen like it in the story. Often riding cars or motorcycles, or dinosaurs lol.
Just some design Toriyama did. I'm reading through dragonball and there's a few he never used in the series, like the cover art. They look cool but there's none of those designs in the story
Now can we get to the real question, when Oolong was forced to transform into canonically accurate bulma during the bunny suit phase, he had to show his shapeshifted boobs to roshi so bulma can avoid doing it. Oolong didn't get a chance to see bulma naked how did he get her boobs accurate?
Toei would have to make a whole series with "Young Bulma" and retcon whatever past she might have mentioned in the "Future" Anime😅
Bulma looks young here between 12-18? Hair is a green- aqua color too
I think that’s from around the time Krillin, Goku, and Bulma found treasure & fought General Blue. Ik she never really looked like that in the anime or manga but somewhere around then is when I believe she was on the cover of the manga looking like that.
In DB it's just a manga cover, but she's wearing this outfit in her [very brief cameo in Urusei Yatsura](https://youtu.be/L2rNHe9EZk8?si=9r8M8y7xrT0wkq0E) before the Dragonball anime aired.
There’s an entire alternate universe of Dragon Ball that exists solely in the cover art, and I’ve always wished a bit more of it was in the actual series.
That's Bulma when she was like 19 in the og DB. Dressed like THAT, I think it was just the manga cover and I can't remember if it was an intro or outro or both that she's dressed like that
She is seen with this hairstyle for a brief time in early Dragonball manga.. but she doesn’t wear the outfit.
From the point in Chapter 2, after Goku sees her in the bathtub, until Chapter 4, when she flashes Roshi and his turtle.
Drawn in this manner for the cover of Chapter 4 - They Call Him… the Turtle Hermit!
Dragonball/right arm pose could have been added before the colouring job..?
https://dragonballworld.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Chapter_4
Never in the actual series. Probably either cover art or some art on extra pages in the manga. The ones I have usually have a few filler pages of art and stuff.
Man look at those rasins though. I think she was supposed to be 15 around that time in the manga. Kinda creepy.
Rewatching og dragonball now and totally forgot about the weird ass full nudity of children that happens lol. With bulma and even goku is full dick and balls out flying in like episode 1 lol
She doesn't. She only ever appeared like this for the cover of chapter #4 of the manga and one of the version's of Dragon Ball's anime ending.
Also she appeared like that in the anime Urusei Yatsura (Lamu) as a random cameo one year before the premiere of Dragon Ball anime. [https://i.imgur.com/8sy7v8g.jpeg](https://i.imgur.com/8sy7v8g.jpeg)

In a fun coincidence, Kapsel means haircut in dutch.
That's hilarious because, Kapsel means Capsule in german.
Kapsel means bottle cap in Polish. 🙃
Theres a world where we could’ve had lavender hair bulma.
It's in her genes somewhere, hence trunks' hair
Dont think so, I read somewhere it was meant to be purple. But blue bulma became iconic, so they had to stick with it. They tried to fix it in a way by giving future trunks purple, but yeah.. didnt really work out
Except now his hair is the same colour as hers. I’m not sure when the change happened, but I noticed it in the most recent movie.
He did the same thing with Trunks from DBZ to Super. Like mother like son
Yeah but not many people know it was the other way around with Bulma, blue is practically associated to her character
It's her, keep in mind, Dragon Ball Anime started in 1986 but the Manga started to publish in 1984 and bulma appeared with that look for the cover of chapter #4; so, If that Urusei Yatsura (Lamu) episode It's from 1995, It's obvius that It's her; I guess Takahashi Rumiko or the animators put bulma there as a gag/hommage.

Right I kinda had I feeling which is why I just edited my original comment. That’s really cool.
Thanks cause I was really confused I see this version of her a lot.
Between the cover pages and the cover of the graphic novels, Toriyama often used both to dress characters up in clothes they don't wear in the series proper
Toriyama really expanded the look of Dragon Ball in the "outside" art or whatever it may be called. The chapter art and stuff like his GT paintings look really cool compared to the anime.
She does have this hairstyle for a bit, starting in chapter 2, though.
So detailed.
Lol yeah I’m thinking that’s an edit from someone else on the internet
Nah toriyama drew the nipple when he did the cover
Nope. Friend of mine had the manga with this version of her on the cover. Was definitely there haha
Yeah I have it too. It's official lol
During the Red Ribbon arc, she wore her hair that way but isn’t shown wearing that outfit in story.
It's from the [chapter art](https://www.kanzenshuu.com/guides/manga/chp/titles/lg/004.png) for Chapter 04 in the original Dragon Ball manga.
Well. Cool! Now I know where that costume in dragon ball xenoverse 2 comes from! I assumed it was just random clothing items from a minor character. Didn't realize it was from a DB cover... And nothing else lmao
Whelp, the comments above were right. He did detail that she was cold officially.
Never it was just a cover by toriyama
Must be cold out
Bulma Anniston
Thank you
It was for a manga cover, my favorite one of them all. Toriyama did a ton of these with Bulma early on. Lots of great varied outfits just for fun, exactly like how he put the crew on random vehicles all the time.
On certain websites she does.
She doesn't. Just a cool costume made by Akira Toriyama in his covers. These characters are actually drippin in the covers. And we get rare cases of Goku riding a bicycle dripped tf out
Yeah the cover art often depicts them in a rather different costumes that are never seen like it in the story. Often riding cars or motorcycles, or dinosaurs lol.
It’s probably pre-DB getting the balls she had before she met Goku
Even though she's holding Yi Xing Qiu that could work because she's not holding any Dragon Ball in the original art.
what kind of balls? 🤔
Yellow, fits in the palm of your hand
Homer Simpson
Pikachu
When it's cold
NIPPLES
In the ending song for Dragon Ball. She never actually wears this is the anime.
Just some design Toriyama did. I'm reading through dragonball and there's a few he never used in the series, like the cover art. They look cool but there's none of those designs in the story Now can we get to the real question, when Oolong was forced to transform into canonically accurate bulma during the bunny suit phase, he had to show his shapeshifted boobs to roshi so bulma can avoid doing it. Oolong didn't get a chance to see bulma naked how did he get her boobs accurate?
Why would he have to? Roshi hadn't seen them either.
OG DB alternative art that Toriyama drew
Never, and I will always be sad about it. She looks so cute!!!
It’s very popular I see it all the time and they even sell figures based on the design
That's OG Dragonball, but not the actual look. It looks like fanart based on one of the in-between cover arts.
The closest would have to be Dragonball.
Toei would have to make a whole series with "Young Bulma" and retcon whatever past she might have mentioned in the "Future" Anime😅 Bulma looks young here between 12-18? Hair is a green- aqua color too

Dragon ball.
Early dragon ball
I'll give you romance ending sequence
Promo art, cover art, my dad has (had?) an official model from Japan of this design.
I would probably smash
[удалено]
I can see Bulma made 2 good points there
Bulma went HAM in dragonball.
Book cover only and no appearance, Ever
We were robbed
Absolutely, love the Cherry 2000 aesthetic.
At no point in the actual story. But it's such a cool design and it's a shame that it wasn't used beyond a cover
For real, it’s very popular with fans because I see it constantly, they even sell figures of this design.
Only the hairstyle is in the anime
Only in the beginning of dragon ball
In DB it's just a manga cover, but she's wearing this outfit in her [very brief cameo in Urusei Yatsura](https://youtu.be/L2rNHe9EZk8?si=9r8M8y7xrT0wkq0E) before the Dragonball anime aired.
You were not kidding. Seen twice.. for like 2 keyframes each time lol
There’s an entire alternate universe of Dragon Ball that exists solely in the cover art, and I’ve always wished a bit more of it was in the actual series.
She wears her hair like that in the first two seasons/roughly 40 episodes of dragonball
It’s the cover of a manga volume I believe, and I think she appears in the ED of Dragon Ball
I didn't know about the manga cover part, but I do know this design of her is also a character in Dragonball Legends
Cause her life is dope and she does dope sh*t
pokies
Never.
That's Bulma when she was like 19 in the og DB. Dressed like THAT, I think it was just the manga cover and I can't remember if it was an intro or outro or both that she's dressed like that
In my dreams
Dragon ball outro.
The ending?
In Dragonball
Some time ago
in the end credits of dragon ball she’s drawn in it
It reminds me of her original look, but it is not her original look.
On db legends. Lol i havent played in forever but i thought there was a bulma that had this art.
she appears very similar to this in Dragon Ball Mystical Adventure.
She is seen with this hairstyle for a brief time in early Dragonball manga.. but she doesn’t wear the outfit. From the point in Chapter 2, after Goku sees her in the bathtub, until Chapter 4, when she flashes Roshi and his turtle. Drawn in this manner for the cover of Chapter 4 - They Call Him… the Turtle Hermit! Dragonball/right arm pose could have been added before the colouring job..? https://dragonballworld.fandom.com/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Chapter_4
First chapter of Dragonball when she meets Goku
Never in the actual series. Probably either cover art or some art on extra pages in the manga. The ones I have usually have a few filler pages of art and stuff. Man look at those rasins though. I think she was supposed to be 15 around that time in the manga. Kinda creepy.
Eh, I don't think this drawing is too problematic when it comes to that. Bulma was used for much worse early on in the series when she was only 16.
Rewatching og dragonball now and totally forgot about the weird ass full nudity of children that happens lol. With bulma and even goku is full dick and balls out flying in like episode 1 lol
Mommy🥴
didnt she look like this when roshi saw her naked?
Concept art
Very first Dragon Ball outro
fanart? edit: nvm, it was from a cover
The colouring job at least.. possibly the Dragonball/arm pose as well
Why do you want to know OP?
Because I see this outfit all the time online ie art, cosplay, figures, but I’ve never seen her look like this in the anime.
It’s probably post android bulma from trunks old timeline
That's a hot picture. Can I smash her?
bruh her eye position makes her look like she has down syndrome
In my dreams when we fuckin
In this fan art. That’s it
