Is Vegeta's daughter named Bra?
Share
Yes, Vegeta’s daughter is named Bra in the original Dragon Ball manga and Japanese anime. However, in the English dub, her name was changed to Bulla to make it sound more appropriate for Western audiences.
Who is Bra/Bulla?
Bra is the second child of Vegeta and Bulma, making her the younger sister of Trunks. She first appears at the end of Dragon Ball Z and plays a slightly bigger role in Dragon Ball GT.
- Mother: Bulma (one of the richest and smartest people on Earth)
- Father: Vegeta (Prince of all Saiyans)
- Brother: Trunks (half-Saiyan warrior and time traveler)
Why is Her Name Bra?
Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball, follows a naming pattern for Bulma’s family, based on clothing items:
- Bulma → Comes from “Bloomer” (a type of women’s clothing)
- Trunks → Named after men’s shorts
- Bra → Named after the undergarment (which is why it was changed to Bulla in English)
How Strong is Bra?
Unlike Trunks, Bra does not seem to have much interest in fighting. However, because she is half-Saiyan, she has the potential to be extremely powerful if she ever trains.
- In Dragon Ball Super, she is still a baby.
- In Dragon Ball GT, she is shown as a teenager who enjoys shopping and has more of Bulma’s personality than Vegeta’s.
Does Vegeta Care About Bra?
Yes! Despite his tough exterior, Vegeta is a loving father, especially to Bra. Some key moments:
- He adores her as a baby in Dragon Ball Super and even stays behind instead of training to be there for her birth.
- In Dragon Ball GT, he is shown to be very protective of her and doesn’t like when boys give her attention.
So yes, Vegeta’s daughter is named Bra in Japan, but Bulla in English dubs! 😊
