Time Machine

Item from Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama

Bulma's impossible invention — a capsule-sized vehicle that travels through time, built in an apocalyptic future by a woman who refused to accept that her world was the only option.

Future Bulma built this under siege conditions — no resources, no help, androids hunting survivors, and somehow she still engineered time travel. Future Trunks used it to warn the Z Fighters about the Android threat and later to seek help against Goku Black. Each trip creates a new timeline rather than altering the existing one (Dragon Ball uses multiverse-branch time travel, not overwrite). The fuel is limited and takes significant time to recharge. Beerus considers time travel a criminal offense, which makes every use a divine risk.

Appearance

A small, egg-shaped capsule vehicle with a transparent dome cockpit. Yellow and white with Capsule Corp branding. About the size of a small car. The dashboard contains temporal coordinates and fuel gauges. Looks deceptively simple for a device that breaks the laws of physics.

Also known as: Time Machine, Future Bulma's Time Machine
