Goku would never have left the mountain and she's why they were able to get to Namek and she is the mother of Trunks so the android saga stuff is thanks to her. Has chiaotzu done anything since dragon ball?

Lol wrong, other people like Pilaf and RRA would have come for his Dragon Ball and taken it, prompting him to look for it

No, she's not. In fact, she's the one who screwed them over by blowing up Nappa's ship like a dumbass, which is why they needed to use Kami's instead.

They were not, that was a task always left up to Bulma. "They" can't even drive a car or pilot a plane, let alone fly a ship across the galaxy to Namek. Goku couldn't even pilot his own ship, the coordinates had to be preprogrammed in by someone else.

You don't have to be strong to steal stuff. Nami steals things from people that can casually lift buildings and toss them at people. Bulma would have easily stolen the balls from them and once she's gone there's nothing they can do to find her.

You notice how in that image clip the one that's super excited to pilot the spaceship isn't even piloting the plane he's on? When has Krillin ever been seen behind the wheel of anything? Bulma gets props because she took the Namek ship, translated the controls that were written in an extraterrestrial language, and flow that thing by herself across space and got its occupants there safely. Do you think Krillin was really going to translate those controls and fly people there himself? If so, how does the logistics of travel in one of those ships even work when he has to transport a group of people? That's a single occupant ship, was Gohan meant to sit on Krillin's lap for the entire journey?

Anyone can pilot a spaceship, even Goku as he does so by himself when he goes to Namek and returns from Yardrat. You don't have to be some scientific genius to pilot a ship at all

Bulma's only role was to figure out how the controls work, something her dad could have easily done, and from there anyone could have taken it to Namek. In fact Bulma wasn't even planning on going to Namek in the first place

The only reason it was decided that she would go was in case something would go wrong with the ship, but it's moot because nothing went wrong outside of anime filler anyway

It makes no difference if Gohan sits on his lap, other than that they would saved time and gotten to Namek sooner, before Freeza's men got there even.

Bulma literally wasted time adding a fucking stereo

Goku does not pilot the ship himself. He mashed buttons and the autopilot took him to Yardrat when he was trying to get home, then he decided to stay to train. Thank goodness those Yardratians can read and helped Goku get home.

And true you don't need to be a genius to decipher the controls, but it certainly does help. So why go to Dr. Brief for that when you have the far more intelligent Bulma sitting right there ready and willing to help.

Damn what an amazing pilot. She flew an alien ship across the galaxy and got it and it's occupants safely to another planet without a single hiccup. You can't even buy that level of competence and professionalism. Thank Kami for Bulma.

Tomato tomahto.

She leveraged her skills and cunning and now she's in a position to use the dragon balls to fix her crow's feet whenever she pleases. If that's not an impressive ROI then nothing out there is.

Beerus was having the time of his life at Bulma's party. He loved the food and Bulma puts in the effort to keep that guy fed and placated. You'll notice that Whis only gave his number to Bulma, he didn't do that for krillin or Roshi. Literal angels and gods can tell how important and useful she is, and they don't even want to beat her ass all the time like they do with Goku and Vegeta.

That's still not showing Goku piloting the ship, that's showing Goku hit the "on" button. The dude can't drive a car, he can't fly a plane, and he can barely operate his tractor. So forgive me if a call his competence into question while he's amped up on adrenaline and SS chi immediately after spending 5 minutes in a fight with Frieza and he swears the controls look just as similar on Frieza's ship as they do his own. Besides, he wasn't ever gonna pilot that ship himself, he was just gonna do what he did before and mash the "on" button. You can already tell he didn't have the competence to fly the ship on his own cognizance because when he tried to that very same "on" button mashing on Ginyu's ship he didn't even end up at home, he went to Yardrat. Thank goodness for Dr. Brief giving that guy an autopilot cause who knows where he would have ended up if he was truly flying on his own.

Beerus casually destroys planets all the freaking time for little reason, so it speaks a lot about the atmosphere at Bulma's place that he decided to hold himself back twice.

Yeah but they don't every do that. They call up Bulma because she's incredibly useful. I guess more so than the dragon balls since they don't use them and just call her instead. Like wow, she's legit the only person in U7 that can convince the God of destruction and his angel to do anything at all without needing to fight them to do it.
