Dragonball Fanfiction

But Bulma is fundamentally not a character who would care about being in power now. That's just not who Bulma is.

Frankly, on one level I don't see her ever taking over as CEO simply because CE Os wouldn't have as much time to themselves to invent. Too many board meetings. Stockholders. Business bullshit.

Of her many vices, ambition and power are not among them. Not greed either. She has enough. She doesn't need more.

Now, what might change that is if someone were to stroke her competitiveness. If there was a scientist who was actually better than her at science.

Now. If someone was taking the credit from her? Like happens to basically all lady scientists? Because the scientific community is a bag of awful dicks? That'd be one thing.

Furthermore, Dr. Briefs doesn't really give a crap either way - if Bulma wants Capsule Corp., it's likely that he'd just give it to her.

When it comes down to it, that family is a very highly functional family of complete nutcases. They're all crazy and they just so happen to fit perfectly well together because of it.

Also that, yeah.

Bulma is one of the richest people in the world, married to one of the most powerful men in the universe, could build herself whole robot armies to oppress mankind, and knows well the flaws, weaknesses and idiot blind points of the other most powerful men on Earth. If she had any real ambition, well, she could have taken over the world like a thousand times by now. Hell, she could do it without finding any actual opposition from the Z Senshi, because most of them are unlikely to give a shit as long as she isn't putting millions into death camps.

But she doesn't, despite being fully able to do so.

Exactly.

HFIL, all she'd need to do to take over the world would be proposing herself for the actual canonical job of President of the World with Mr. Satan as her Vicepresident, and they'd win in a gigantic landslide with no effort.

Actually, the guy in charge of the world is a King.

King Furry.

He's a dog.

I love that detail.

Not sure there's any elections involved?

Filler in the Cell Saga indicates he's still around and still in charge.

And he gives to the Spirit Bomb that kills Buu.

Ah. I was pretty sure the dub I watched described him as a President.

We never see him with any children or heirs, and at this point he should be quite old, anyway.

Want to know something funny?

Literally the only thing that Bulma has to do to take over the entire universe is tell Vegeta that she wants to be empress of the universe. Vegeta is, currently, the fourth most powerful being in the universe, possibly tied at third, and numbers 1 and 2 really wouldn't give a shit if Bulma ruled the universe. I don't think the King of Everything would care either.

I mean, nobody cared when Freeza ruled the galaxy.

His office has portraits of dogs behind him, so it seems like dogs have been kings for a while.

And we don't really see him having dinner or doing. Y'know. Domestic things. What family he does or doesn't have is. Irrelevant? For the most part.

She already does use Vegeta to threaten space cops with.

Just because they were his ancestors doesn't necessarily mean they were previous Kings.

Also, I've always head-canon'ed that King Furry took over the world using the Dragonballs.

Dogs ruling the Earth might help explain why Puar had to learn perfected shapeshifting and go live in the wastelands with a bandit.

I mean.

Bulma says that the last person to use the Dragon Balls over a hundred years ago wished to be a king.

I prefer to think that one of Furry's ancestors made the wish and the Furry dynasty just sorta. Kept going.

When people are unhappy with their rulers, they can freely call them sons of bitches without fearing any punishment!

Excuse me, when I'm unhappy with my Rulers, I bring around an Avenger to stomp them.

Actually, there are millions are galaxies in the Dragon Ball Universe; what the Kais rule over are the Quadrants of the Living World. For instance, the North Area is the Northern Quadrant of the Universe, and is home to several galaxies.

... So? There's only one that matters.

Yes, the Milky Way Galaxy, which is ruled over by the Galactic King; the whole "North Galaxy" stuff and the like was actually a mistranslation; in the original manga, when South Kai showed up to see Goku training with King Kai (yes, the 40 tons scene is actually canon with the manga, it wasn't something the anime came up with), he was referred to as the king/ruler of the South Area, which got changed at some point to "Galaxy". Plus, the Super manga pretty much confirmed that there are several galaxies throughout the universe, and not just the four that the West thought there was back in the 90's and early 2000's.

Which still doesn't change a thing. There's exactly one Galaxy that matters, the one that has the strongest beings in the universe in it.

Well, that part matters less when Beerus is asleep.

The "four strongest beings" IANCE refers to being Whis, Beerus, Goku, and then Vegeta, correct?

Whis>Beerus>Goku & Vegeta

Of course, at this stage in the game, Vegetto can probably beat Whis.

Super Saiyan Blue Vegetto using Kaioken?

Definitely possible.

Never gonna happen, cause Goku and Vegeta want to win as Goku and Vegeta, and have shown time and again (such as fricking Resurrection F) that they'd rather endanger the whole planet then fight as a team.

"Tales of the Monkey Queen" Chapter 46 on AO3. In which holy shit, guys, we're on the Saiyan Saga.

Wherein we meet the big-haired poster child for "Missed Opportunity".
