In Age 739, ten years before the events in the Emperor Pilaf Saga, Bulma (who is just five years old) visits with her family on Omori's island. Bulma helps fix Jaco's spaceship without anyone noticing and demonstrates an intelligence that impresses both Jaco and Omori. Bulma carries with her a laser gun that she designed herself and says it was made because she thought Jaco was an evil alien. Ten years later, Bulma graduates from university and is in search of mysterious, mythical balls that can grant whatever wish their finder desires.
At the age of 15,[1][2] she found the two-star Dragon Ball in her basement. She created the Dragon Radar to find the other Dragon Balls so she can wish for a lifetime supply of strawberries, but later decides she wants to wish for the perfect boyfriend instead. She began her quest for the other balls during her summer vacation and after a couple of days, she found the Five-Star Dragon Ball in the North Valley.[3][4]
