While Vegeta and Goku are respected for their immense strength and glorious deeds, Saiyans are often considered the worst parents due to their neglectful nature. However, such criticisms seem irrelevant now, as Bulma demonstrated the worst parenting practices towards Trunks, something that surprisingly many fans overlooked.

Bulma is considered the worst parent in the world Dragon Ball Number

In every cult series, there is always one character who receives a lot of criticism from fans and earns the title of worst character. Dragon Ball fans, this character is Bulma. Returning to DB classic, Akira Toriyama introduced audiences to young Goku and his early adventures on Earth. During Goku’s journey to find all the Dragon Balls, he meets Bulma, who introduces him to the legend of the seven mystical gems.

Although Bulma’s character became much more likeable in DBZ AND DBSmany fans found her irresistibly irritating DB a classic. Undoubtedly, Bulma’s constant objectification and sexualization in the series destroyed her character. In addition to her hypersexualized character, Toriyama also showed Bulma at her worst in raising Trunks.

Despite having scientific experience and knowledge, Bulma never encourages Trunks to follow in her footsteps or pursue a path of science. On the other hand, her friend and Goku’s wife, Chi-Chi, always encouraged her children to study, especially Gohan, so they wouldn’t end up like Goku and her.

Not to mention that Chi-Chi even trained Goten in martial arts, while Bulma was more concerned with herself than raising Trunks. Furthermore, in the Android Saga, Bulma brought her newborn child to the battlefield, which made many fans question her maternal instincts.

Compared to Bulma, Vegeta emerges as the better parent. Dragon Ball Super, fans witnessed Vegeta’s adoring nature and selfless love for his newborn daughter, Bulla. Immediately after Bulla’s birth, Vegeta develops a strong attachment to her and becomes very protective of her well-being.

Let’s not forget that he entered the Tournament of Power to save his family from extinction. Vegeta is actually a better parent than fans often realize, especially since Bulma’s maternal instincts were practically nonexistent.

Dragon Daima Could be the biggest clash: Beerus vs. Omega Shenron

In Dragon Ball GT, Akira Toriyama introduced fans to a formidable opponent in which the Z Warriors’ victory seemed uncertain. Omega Shenron was the final villain in DB GT, surpassing even SSJ 4 Goku in terms of strength.

Among the similarities between Dragon Ball GT and Daima, fans are curious about the return of the iconic villain, Omega Shenron. Omega Shenron was so incredibly powerful that Goku and Vegeta had to undergo a fusion technique (SSJ4 Gogeta) to match his unrivaled strength.

Back in DBSShenron trembles in fear at Beerus’ very presence. Since Omega Shenron is the result of the evil negative energy of the original Eternal Dragon, fans expect an iconic DB GT villain who will finally face his fear and defeat the God of Destruction in the upcoming DB: Daima.
