Now, inDragon Ball Daima’s latest episode #19, “Betrayal”,Bulma gives viewers insight into what makes Vegeta tickduring what is arguably the anime’s funniest moment yet.

Bulma Gets Through to Vegeta With a Humorous Threat
Dragon Ball’s Best Couple Is at the Center of Daima’s Funniest Moment Yet
Vegeta isn’t exactly known for being easy-going. Famously stubborn and hot-headed, the prince showed no willingness to allow anyone to interfere in his fight with Gomah, despite very clearly being on the back foot. The rest of Earth’s heroes, knowing he was in trouble, tried to convince him that it was time for Goku to step in and have his try at the evil ruler of the Demon Realm,but Vegeta just wasn’t having it.
At the most dire moment, Bulma stepped in and immediately convinced her husband to stand down by hitting him right where it hurts,with a threat to no longer take baths with him. The moment was so unexpected and pulled off with such mastery that only Akira Toriyama, the gag manga artist himself, could have been behind it. What truly sells the joke is just how in character it is for Vegeta. From the moment he landed on Earth after the Namek Saga, he was weak to Bulma’s wishes.

Bulma and Vegeta Have Always Been Dragon Ball’s Best Couple
Much ofDragon Ball, especially in recent years, has been built onthe contrast between Goku and Vegeta, and one of the more interesting differences between the two is family life. Goku, the always approachable, kind-hearted Saiyan who has made friends with just about everyone he’s ever met, is rarely seen around Chi Chi and his sons. Vegeta, on the other hand, the proud warrior who lives for battle,is constantly seen putting his family first. The most famous example was his willingness to skip the Tournament of Power to ensure he didn’t miss the birth of his daughter.
