How much older than Goku is Bulma?

Your friend is mistaken. Both biologically and chronologically, Goku is younger than Bulma. Your friend was seemingly basing their idea on Goku's biological age when factoring in the Room of Spirit and Time, as you'd come out biologically a year older than you went in as.

However, your friend forgets that Goku spent 8 years in the afterlife, where it was established that you do not age biologically, making him, in fact, four years younger biologically than he is chronologically.

In the Dragon Ball Super Broly movie, we finally find out what Bulma would do if she had a free wish with the Dragon Balls. Rather than wish for world peace or an end to famine, she wanted to wish to be five years younger. Bulma prides herself on looking young for her age, leading many people to wonder how old is Bulma?

Bulma was born Age 733, making her 16 when she meets Goku for the first time in Age 749. Bulma is 28 years old when she is on Namek, and 45 years old at the beginning of Dragon Ball Super.

How much older is Bulma than Goku?

Bulma was born in the Age 733, while Goku was born in the Age 736. This would make Bulma around three years older than Goku depending on the time of year, and when both of these characters’ birthdays are. Goku may appear younger than Bulma is their adulthood as Saiyan’s don’t age during adulthood. They only start showing signs of ageing when they are much older. This might lead people to think Goku is much younger than Bulma, but there are only three years between them in reality.

How old is Bulma in Dragon Ball?

The original Dragon Ball series occurs between Age 749 (When Goku meets Bulma for the first time) and Age 756 (When Goku defeats Piccolo Junior for the first time). This makes Bulma just 16 years old at the start but ends Dragon Ball as 23 years old.

How old is Bulma is Dragon Ball Z?

Raditz first steps foot on Earth during the Age 761 which would make Bulma 28 years old. Trunks is born Age 766, making her a first-time mummy at 33 years old. At the end of the series Bulma, after they defeat Majin Buu, Bulma is 41 years old.

How old is Bulma is Dragon Ball Super?

Calculating a characters age should typically be an easy task, but with Bulma, it’s not quite as simple. By using simple maths, Bulma should be 45 years old at the start of Super. However, during her birthday party, she claims she is 37 years old. Some woman lie about their age, so perhaps Bulma is just lying. However, she also expresses a wish to use the Dragon Balls to make herself younger. Could Bulma have used the Dragon Balls to wish herself eight years younger?

How old is Future Trunks Bulma?

We’ve covered the main timeline Bulma but who can forget the Future Trunk’s Bulma who built the first time machine. Future Trunk’s finally defeating the Androids in his own time during the Age 785. This would make Future Trunks Mum Bulma 52 years old. Goku Black starts terrorising the universe again during Age 796, which makes Bulma 63 years. Bulma should receive a lot of credit for surviving to 63 in such a terrible universe where bad things are continually happening to the Earthlings.

Bulma has been a vital part of the Dragon Ball franchise for many years, and her genius inventions and bulldog-like determination have helped save the Earth, and the universe, countless times.

The following is the list of character birth dates and ages throughout Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super and Dragon Ball GT. The list is based on age information stated in the manga/anime, given in Dragon Ball guides, and most taken from the actual timeline. This list includes the Dragon Team and their support, most villains, and other characters. Some factors, such as training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, are factored in and noted when the occurrence happens. Another notable change is death. The biggest example is Goku, who was dead for seven years, causing him not to age, thus making him physically the same age he was when he died upon his return to Earth, and this is clearly noted.

In regards to the some of the ages given, many are never actually stated and so are rough estimates.

*The following lists are compiled using the years given in the guidebooks and video games, which are different to the ones used in Weekly Jump (2015) and Dragon Ball Super: Broly, and also ignore Shenron's additional summoning in the Super anime as well as Granolah's explanation of the history of Cereal in the Super manga. It also assumes Bulma's claim to be 38 in Battle of Gods is false.*
