10 Smartest Anime Characters Of All Time

In its over thirty year history, Dragon Ball has seen countless characters come and go. But, only one has been consistent from its very beginning, and that would be none other than the brilliant Bulma Brief.

Bulma, to put it as blunt as possible, is a total badass. Not only did she make Vegeta, the prince of a violent alien race known for their pride, become a loving family man and stand her ground against literal gods, but she also created inventions that put Tony Stark to shame.

For proof of this, look no further than her two most prominent inventions, the Dragon Radar and the time machine. If it weren't for the Dragon Radar, something she invented at a very young age, the famed Dragon Balls would be almost impossible to find. As time has gone by, the radar has seen several upgrades and remains a crucial element to the series. Then, there's the time machine, something she built in order to send her son, Trunks, to the past to stop the Android apocalypse. That's right, a time machine.

Without her inventions, the world of Dragon Ball would have fallen to pieces. Bulma isn't just the smartest character in the whole series, but in all of anime as well.
