VegeBul

Vegeta x Bulma is the het ship between Vegeta and Bulma in the Dragon Ball fandom.

Canon
Bulma first sees Vegeta shortly after he arrives on Earth to find the Earth Dragon Balls and she witnesses most of her fitness, including her then boyfriend Yamcha, get killed while fighting against him and Nappa. Bulma is devastated by the death of Yamcha and wants Goku to kill Vegeta for this. However, Vegeta retreats after he is left gravely wounded. Bulma later accompanies Gohan and Krillin to Planet Namek to use its Dragon Balls to resurrect their friends, and she is horrified to learn Vegeta is also on the planet. She even has a nightmare if him attacking her. Bulma and Vegeta meet for the first time when he follows Krillin to her hideout and threatens to kill them both if they don’t give him the Dragon Ball Krillin had. Vegeta is later forced to fight and kill Zardon, which scares Bulma. Vegeta then spared the Two once Krillin surrenders the Dragon Ball. In the Ocean dub, Vegeta refers to Bulma as a “gorgeous girl” to Gohan.

When Frieza is about to blow up Planet Namek, Vegeta is teleported to Earth along with everyone else and Bulma is disappointed he was brought back to life after Frieza killed him. She also expresses disgust as him for mocking Goku and picking a fight with Gohan. However, Bulma offers Vegeta to stay with her at Capsule Corp since he has no where else to go but warns him not to touch her. In the Funimation dub, she jokes how cute he is and he should lighten up a bit, much to Vegeta’s bafflement. After half a year, Vegeta leaves Earth to search for Goku and doesn’t return until nearly two years pass. During that time, Bulma slowly begins to exhibit an interest in Vegeta when she tells Yamcha she had a dream of kissing him. When Vegeta returns, he is openly rude and hostile towards everyone but Bulma berates him for his attitude and tells him to get cleaned up, which irritates Vegeta but he grows quiet and submits to her demands, much to the shock of Yamcha of how well Bulma can keep Vegeta under control. Due to the inevitable arrival of the Androids, Vegeta continues living in Earth and Bulma provides him a Gravity Room to train in. In an incident when he nearly kills himself while training, she tends to him, and tells him to not push himself and assures him that he doesn’t have to prove himself because he is strong enough, much to the amazement and disgust of Yamcha. Vegeta rebuffs her concern and resumes his training, despite Bulma’s warnings.

After a year and a half pass, Bulma breaks up with Yamcha due to his infidelity and inability to commit himself to her. She turns to Vegeta as a source of comfort and Vegeta, in turn, turns to Bulma as he struggles to become a Super Saiyan. Ultimately, they develop a mutual attraction and succumb to their passion, and begin an affair. In the manga and Kai versions, it is said to have been a one night stand. The affair ends when he impregnates her and she decides to keep the baby while he makes it clear the baby is not a priority to him and he leaves for space to continue his training. Bulma gives birth to a son whom she names Trunks. The birth of their child is a waking point for both of them; Vegeta is uninterested in his son and ignores him whereas Bulma is a doting mother who loves her son dearly. For the first year of Trunks’ life, Vegeta shows almost no interest in him and Bulma, who ignores this treatment as she is too busy caring for Trunks. However, she insists that Vegeta really does love Trunks despite the contrary and she is open to a relationship with him as long as he feels the same way. Vegeta initially plans to leave Earth after the defeat of the Androids and Cell because he never wanted to have children and saw Bulma and Trunks as burdens. However, after witnessing Future Trunks get killed by Cell, Vegeta has a change of heart and decides to stay on Earth to be there for Trunks as a father. Overtime, Vegeta and Bulma reconcile and get married.

Over the next seven years, they have a better relationship, as they have fallen deeply in love with each other. However, while Vegeta has grown to love his new family and he is content with living in Earth, he secretly feels ashamed for sacrificing his warrior lifestyle for the sake of his family. A confrontation to settle his rivalry with Goku gives him the opportunity to reveal this and he attempts to return to his old evil self, which causes him to nearly kill Bulma, who is horrified and feels betrayed. Vegeta goes as far as to tell Goku he doesn’t care if his family dies by Majin Buu but Goku calls him a liar because Vegeta still has a conscience. Vegeta accepts this as true and starts to feel remorse for his betrayal, and decides to atone by sacrificing himself to kill Majin Buu. However, this fails and when Bulma learns of his death, she breaks down in despair. Similarly, when Vegeta is allowed to return for another fight against Majin Buu and learns his family had been killed, he reacts with sadness and rage that he has lost his family and agrees to fuse with Goku in order to avenge them. Vegeta later learns Goku promised Old Kai he could kiss Bulma in exchange for his help and Vegeta was enraged. During the final battle, Bulma hears Vegeta as he hatched a plan to kill Majin Buu and she is happy that he is back. After Majin Buu is defeated, Bulma happily welcomes Vegeta back, showing she forgives him.

Four years later, Vegeta and Bulma go on a family vacation with Trunks for the first time because, as he explains to her, he wants to keep a promise to Trunks. The vacation goes well until Vegeta grows annoyed with other people and leaves. Bulma admits she is impressed he put up with it this long and is thankful for him. Bulma later tells Vegeta to come to her birthday party and he refuses but changes his mind after he gets in his nerves. When Beerus slaps her after she slaps him for ruining her party,
