Both are dumb as fuck we all know farmer with the shot gun is the smartest

Bulma = time machine Gero = super powerful androids verdict = both as smart as each other, in different ways

The sexy blue haired scientist vs the grumpy old mandriod. Gee I wonder who will fans perfer.

love it

I mean Gero did win in the original timeline, but that doesn't make him smarter. He dedicated most of his life studying and building these things. Bulma made a Time Machine fairly quickly just out of necessity to fix the situation, and it wasn't any kind of life long work and ambition. If Bulma spent half the time Gero did building cyborgs I'm sure she could make more powerful ones.

Gero created literal infinite energy. That's incredible. He pretty much broke the laws of physics through the Laws of Thermodynamics. I feel like this should really not be overlooked.

How could you forget Bulma's greatest creation? Bulma created Trunks. That ALONE makes her better than the crazy Doctor.

Gero. He was able to make androids stronger than Super Saiyans in 17 and 18, as well as Cell who's a miracle in bio-engineering. Current Bulma hasn't done much that that's close to that. Future Bulma did make a time machine, but that was years into the future, and current Bulma couldn't even comprehend it. While current Bulma did tinker with 16, she also had the blue prints to 16 that Gero made, and tinkering with something you already have the blue prints to doesn't compare to actually making it.

Bulma built a time machine, got to go with her

Different priorities and different fields. Gero seems to have been a biologist, roboticist and also someone who could design an AI that could continue his work. He was more driven, focused on a goal, wile Bulma is just living her life. But when she puts her back into it, yeah, time machine, essentially a reality breaking device. When it comes to who can fuck up more awfully with long reaching consequences, Bulma wins, but when it comes to who was really lacking common sense, Gero fits that mad scientist archetype quite nicely.

One built a time machine, one built androids that can fight super powered aliens. It's a tough call.

GT non canon blah blah blah LOL my question is how the Hell...while in Hell lol did Gero manage to build another 17? Even with Myu's help did he get a secret lab in the basement of Hell or something haha was he given supplies/resources from the ogres for being on good behavior or something???

I honestly believe Gero could create a Time Machine if he wanted to. He just probably thought it was too risky and was smart enough to opt out of it. Also think about Resources. Gero made these guys in a cave lab...Bulma had millions.

I love these original ideas. I wish others DBtubers would take note. I can't thank you enough for getting back on top. Keep this channel growing homie.

For Dr. Gero to make Android's power levels multiple times higher than Frieza with *ONLY* Saiyan Saga power levels recorded by his Earth bots, that is an impressive feat on his part.

I would have to say on a base level, Gero actually edges out, but Bulma's Potential actually outshines Gero in the long run. Bulma's an active learner, meaning that she can work with it hands on and learn faster than through books and schoolwork. Bulma not only managed to decipher Gero's plans, but was able to work through them with ease, meaning that had Gero actually actively taught Bulma, she would have earned this all the faster, being hands on with Gero's Lab and Technology. Bulma's not one to be bogged down by a singular goal, if anything her 'singular goal' is to learn more and more and develop new things. She was even able to actively learn from herself in Super to repair the time machine in a matter of hours, rather than days and weeks Future Bulma had to do so from scratch. Now, that's easy to say that you can learn someone's work faster if you already have something laid out before you, but Bulma takes it to a level beyond normal active learners. Bulma is amazing, and can do amazing things!!

Gero created Android 17 and he won the Tournament of Power

You made the right choice

I think the energy absorbtion models may have had a limitless cieling. Absorbing energy could have also been more of a tactical advantage, because you are nullifying one way you can be attacked.

very good comparison, thank you!

Dr gero made a creation strong enough to take down a super sayain goku and vegeta and had to push them to their limt to put them on par with them and even enough to beat friezza I think Dr gero took the dub Edit: nvm I watched the whole video which change my mind completely

This was a very well done video. it shows how much time you put into it.

I loved that you chose my favorite Bulma outfit from the Bojack movie for the thumbnail!

Qaaman back again with the awesome content.

Bulma is very smart in her own right but she actually leans on her father for help alot of times. That fact alone makes Gero smarter by a mile. He didn't need help for ANY of his inventions. He did it all on his own while hiding in a cave without HALF the resources Bulma has acces to.

Great topic, am interested to hear your points.

Holy crap ur editing style is like the film theorist wat

Bulma was smarter with creating devices to help others and Gero’s creations were made for destruction and evil

We all know goku is the smartest

Editing has gotten way better. Love it all.

Bro i've been dying for a good dragon ball content creator to cover this topic, and Quinn comes through thanks man.

Nice video dude as a long time old fan I got to say you still got it i been watching since I seen you what if goku and gohan fuse

Bulma is bea and all but ill gero cuz he was able to makes androids who are powerful enough to give goku a hard time

The most underrated move gero did was make the androids power unreadable... Let's debate

This video was FUCKING amazing. Incredibly well done. Thank you~

Bulma. She built a Time Machine and a Super Dragon Ball Radar.

I never thought about bulma translating alien tech to earth symbols. Great point out.

Cell arc really is best arc in all of db

Great vid qaaman

*Gero* Some of Bulma's best feats include creating the the dragon radar and the time machine. But besides that nothing really matters too much. BTW I would consider them all star Busters. Because first form Frieza was able to do it easily (in the manga) and every single Android character is much stronger than Frieza.

You are my favorite DB knowledge scaling KZfaqr

Time Travel > Artificial Intelligence

I LOOOOVE BULMA and this video was EVERYTHING

Cell is more impressive than a time machine I'm sorry. If you gave Dr. Gero a couple years to make a time machine, I'm confident he could do it. But Ask Bulma to create (or make a computer that's able to create) a being like Cell? I doubt it..

So happy to see a db vid that not about broky

She figured out alien tech. When she fixed the scouter

I like to think that they are equal but on different fields, Gero makes machines for war where as Bulma (and Capsule Corp as a whole) make things (for the most part) that benefit people as a whole. And a time machine

Personally, anyone who can modify alien technology *AND* build a time machine is pretty hard to beat.

I'm gonna go with Bulma. Gero is a mastermind in bioengenering, but thats nothing compared to a time machine.

This makes me think. What if Dr Gero survived? If he could make 16 do strong without data about the super saiyan, imagine what he could do if he laid low and gathered information on the new forms

It wouldve been cool to see Bulma rebuild Andriod 16 and have it fight along side the warriors of Earth...

Thanks for the Dr Gero video. He is one of my favorite villains. I always thought about him since dragon ball and wondering what he looked like, what he was like, and whether they would ever use him. Then boom here's the cell saga. There is Dr Gero as a cyborg, blowing up stuff with his eyes along side the creepiest and coolest Android ever! Then 17 and 18 walked in lol I'm using Gero as the main bad guy in a dragon ball alternate universe. I also love bulma and she is a main NPC. It's a dragon ball gathering chase through time. :)

well i think that the main reason why gero failed had to do with of limiting himself to one creation (andriods) for sole purpose (killing goku) while bulma created bunch of inventions for different purpose but for the same goal whenever it's intentional or not,it doesn't help that gero had a huge ego to the point of not thinking of consequences of his failures,i mean sure bulma had her moments but at least she considers the possibilities of chances that some of her creations might fail and having back up plans.

What about the engineers that built Mecha Frieza.............errr.....never mind.

A very interesting video, I thought that Bulma would win but you brought up some very good points about Dr Gero. Why didn't he make himself the strongest android? Now you've given me a question that I will be pondering for a very long time. On another note the first music that you used sounds like it is from the Final Fantasy series. What is it called? Thanks!

Dr gero figured out infinite energy Bulma figured out time travel

Great video! What is the song you used in the beginning?

It's a stretch to put a lot of weight on Bulma's character for the Zamasu ordeal; those were consequences that a mortal couldn't have anticipated without the comprehensive knowledge of the dieties, etc. With the understanding available to him, Gero should have been able to anticipate a scenario of his own creations turning on him.

Id also say the Sayain Armor is one of her great achievements

Great video, yeah I would have to say Bulma wins for how quick she can prepare a creation but I would like to add; her time machine was faulty, when trunks goes back in time wouldn't be better if it was within the same timeline? The Gods time rings were better at getting that effect without too much consequence but even then those had flaws aswell, since Zamasu didn't simply go back in time to kill a younger weaker goku but that could be up for debate since the anime never really showcased time rings abilities

Gero literally modified the cells of two humans and made them stronger than a Super Saiyan and created a Bio Android with limitless potential. I'll go with the old guy

Could one recreate the same feats the other has accomplished? Like could Gero make the time machine or Bulma with the infinite energy thing?

There's also a few more things missed about Gero's flaws. He didn't give any of his androids the ability to sense energy. He didn't make Cell with an alternate method to track 17 and 18. He never made back up plans to prepare for 17 and 18's inevitable betrayal And not only did he make himself an inferior android, but more importantly he never made backup copies of himself and didn't store his brain away in an unknown location to operate said copies from a safe distance. Overall for a "genius", Gero really couldn't plan things out for sh*t.

Bulma is smarter in a larger variety of subjects but Gero's work in robotics and bioengineering is unmatched. Even Bulma said so. Gero is probably just as smart as Bulma in every way he just was too single minded in his pursuits.

Great video. But why did you hide your sub count?

Bulma's time machine can be blamed for the total erasure of the future multiverse but Dr Gero's 17 saved the present multiverse

Great video, pretty much everything was covered. I don't have anything to say about their pros. Their flaws on the other hand, pretty much made me support Bulma full on. It is completely impossible for Bulma to know or even predict the infinite possibilities that her time machine would cause, it could go according to plan or lead to a worse outcome. How, who, where, when and what can cause these infinite possibilities, heck it lead to the interference of real gods which Bulma didn't know existed with the exception of Kami and Dende. They were not even real gods, just aliens given the title of Guardian of the Earth. This flaw cannot be blamed on her intelligence. Dr. Gero on the other hand... well you've basically covered it and yes these flaws of his can be directly connected to his intelligence.Thus Bulma is smarter than Dr. Gero.

If they both teamed up they be UNSTABLE.

I never really payed attention to how smart Bulma was. I took all her achievements and inventions for granted because of her personality.

A lot of people are going on about how Dr. Gero created powerful androids but how do we know Bulma would not be capable of doing the same if she felt like it? I mean, she clearly understood his code and was able to essentially create the deactivation device for both android 17 and 18. Plus she was able to fix up android 16 with ease. So I'm sure that if Bulma felt like it she probably could create similar androids but she simply did not have a reason to do so like Dr. Gero since she wasn't trying to take over the world. If she was able to develop time travel, create a shrinking device in DB, and make a jet out of old tv parts, she could definitely create some advanced AI's for androids and cyborgs lol

okay i have a better idea. the farmer with the shotgun vs pickles sounds like a better video idea. i can easily say mr farmer here could outsmart piccolo by telling him that hes a lonely traveler and hes looking a good place to eat before he dies so he begs pickles here to go to some ramen bowl shop and piccolo orders lettuce with no salt because salt burns his skin like pop rocks. farmer with a shotgun buys a spicy ramen bowl with EXTRA chopsticks and no cheap ones either........he even demands to have them to be hand delivered by beerus himself so they can be blessed by him for the extra flavor. after the both of them eat and do whatever they do in the DBZ universe, as piccolo is paying the bill for both of their foods........mr shotty had the gun pointed at piccolo's green giant like face and says that he has to die. farmer said that if he doesnt get his way with him, he'll get his way with gohan and that pisses piccolo the fuck off but thats interrupted when millions of chopsticks are sticking outta the gun hole. ok so imagine that scene in dragon ball gt where baby gohan uses his kamehameha on piccolo and does that dramatic defeat.......imagine all of that but with what im about to describe here. piccolo tells farmer with the shotgun to take his best shot and gladly takes the pointy end of the gun and shoves it down his throat while shoving his antennas up his nose. KABOOM!!!! it GOESSSSS. we get a montage of what happens overtime but the more important issues is when broly became a gentle kitty lovin soccer mom and beerus becomes a gentle friendly cat that shits everywhere and is owned by bulma and vegate the yamcha killer. gohan will spend the rest of his life to become strong, to become the next PICOCOLO. to fight the fight to end all fights, the fight that transcends all anime and manga.....a fight that will tear a rip in time. qaaman will join gohan to find the killer and put a stop to him while eating senzu beans in tribute of the jelly green giant.

+Quaaman can you ever do a Archic Sonic vs Xeno Goku video discussion, a Dragon Fist discussion, and a video on whether or not DBS Broly would be added in the Original DBS Manga.

Can you imagine how smart Bulma would be if she insisted that Gohan carry her with him when he went to see Guru to get his potential unlocked? Remember, it's not just strength that Guru unlocks but also abilities like Dende's healing. Not only that, we also know how much smarter future Bulma is than present Bulma. Imagine if she had gotten a jump start on some of that potential intellect early with a boost from Guru. In fact, that's an interesting what if topic. Maybe it has too many variables to nail down but I would love it if this got some thumbs up so Quinn could see it. :)

Gero's failures are actual mental lapses. Bulma's time machine "failures" are complete unknowns that really can't be counted against her at all

Yo qaaman do a video on what if Goku never got the heart virus

Bulma: Creates time machine Tony Stark: Creates a time machine with scraps in a cave.

Building a Time Machine that breaks the law of the universe is more extreme that building killing machines

You never mentioned Android 21. She was still created by Gero's supercomputer, which does contain a duplicate of Gero's mind, along with the machine that sapped all the Z Fighters of their ki and rendered them all unconscious. Doesn't mater if FighterZ is canon or not, these are still creations of Dr. Gero of substantial note.

Bulma imo is smarter because she was able to fix 16 within 24 hours based off of Gero's own notes. Granted that could mean Gero was very neat with his notes, however she did fix 16 within 24 hours as said and made a time machine, Gero is just the best biochemist in all of Z (GT Baby's doctor was much smarter than Gero which is why he tricked him with super 17)

So you're saying a woman is smarter than a man? I'm down with that.

You also have to take into account that Bulma from the future had limited resources and was almost constantly on the Run and she's still made a time machine.

Doesn't this mean Kid Trunks overall has the "most" potential; with his mother's as well as his grandfather's intellect, his father's power and the massive potential he has as a half-blood saiyan... Too bad he won't be hitting puberty anytime soon... :/ (seriously why does he look younger than T.Gohan despite being older?).

Who’s smarter? My money’s on Bulma. ‘Cause none of her inventions ever tried to kill her.

Definitely Bulma. Not because of being bias its just she can do and undo what Gero creates. I believe if she time in the future to snag blueprints of the androids she may have created more powerful ones to combat his. Thanks, man now I create a what if android on Xenoverse 😂

Bulma built a time machine I wonder if she could have made powerful android that can be planet busters

Bulma had resources from the biggest company in the world while Gero had a simple lab in a cave. Goku wiping out the RRA dealt a huge blow to Gero's capabilities.

Baby Vegeta to Goku: My wife is not a fighter, but she's a brilliant scientist! Who else but her would have thought of creating an energy source that perfectly simulated full moon light!? Goku: I feel like I've heard this somewhere before...

And don’t forget what they are most notoriously known for. They make capsules with large items inside on of them. They ain’t call capsule corp for no reason

+qaaman what do you think would happen in a timeline where somehow Androids 17 and 18 were joined by Android 16 in the future Trunks timeline? Suppose Android 16 disagreed with Androids 17 and 18 and they had a fight to the death. Would Android 16 be able to stop them and the save the world? Please answer.

Infinite energy is a pretty huge feat that I think people are sleeping on. Had Gero been a good person, these inventions would have changed the world.

5:47 This is my comment ranting that GT isn't canon. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

Dr. Gero is definitely a masterful engineer and has 18 and the insanely adaptive and highly durable 17 to show for it. In addition to Perfect Cell.

to add smaller achievments to bulmas regime, she also created a device that can make a wearer smaller by a push of a button and made pods which dead bodies could be preserved.

probably gero. I mean, dude screwed around in a cave with scraps for years and then shat out cyborgs stronger than ssj

If i had to guess Dr.Gero's human flesh was too old and fragle to be converted into a cyborg on 17 and 18's level and the life support system for his brain lmited the amount of power he could add to his android body and still look like himself so his true failure was his narcissism just like Cell.

Bulma and Gero seem to excel in different scientific fields. Gero is obviously gifted in engineering, robotics and genetics. Bulma is also gifted in engineering, but seems less focused on robotics and more on tools and spacecraft. She has never shown any knowledge of genetics. She can reverse engineer Gero's mechanical work if she has a point of reference (an actual Android on the table) or his blueprints, but that in of itself is no comparison to actually inventing said tech. She also only makes repairs to a mostly intact 16 and builds an emergency remote. She never actually attempts to build Androids of her own in the future, such as rebuilding 16. Though her speed at doing these repairs is obviously impressive. Where Bulma really shines is in her understanding of and pioneering of theoretical physics. Her ability to create a time machine is her greatest achievement. She did all the research on her own, invented the tech behind it, developed the unique fuel used to power it etc. It is probably the best evidence that, when pushed to her limit, she is more brilliant than Gero. And special emphasis on the phrase "pushed to her limit". When Goku destroyed the Red Ribbon Army as a kid, Gero disappeared and spent almost 20 years obsessing over his Android project. Bulma in the main timeline is never pushed to such extreme lengthy obsession. She is obviously dedicated and hard working, but she still goes shopping, socializes with friends, throws parties, spends time with her family etc. She has a normal life. Only in Future Trunks' timeline do we see her pushed into similar lifelong obsession as Gero. But we saw the fruit of her labor when she was pushed to such extremes- the invention of a time machine. This very arguably puts anything Gero achieved to utter shame. Also I don't think Bulma would be incapable of removing the bombs from 17 and 18, it's just that it might be dangerous to do it due to the fact that they're mostly still living humans and not fully robotic like 16 is. They may also not consent to the required surgery that would be needed, at least at the point in which Krillin made the wish they were still somewhat standoffish and wary of the Z Fighters.

I like to think Gohan is smarter than both but we havent seen breakthroughs yet outside of an online video game. Then again, philosophy is not science.

Bulma's time machine is the bigger accomplishment for 1 reason; It caught the ire of Beerus and Whis. Her time machine project made her a heretic against the divine hierarchy. That is some badass science.

Qaaman! Here's a video idea/request: What if Goku DIDN'T give Cell a senzu bean before sending in Gohan to fight him? How would the fight have turned out? Anybody else ever wonder this?

The battle of the minds
