West City

Lore & Background

West City is the home of the Capsule Corporation, run by Dr. Briefs and his daughter Bulma. It is from here that Bulma sets out on her adventure with Son Goku to find the Dragon Balls. The city is a center of advanced technology, but its specific history of destruction and rebuilding is not detailed in the source. During the Saiyan Saga, an unnamed city was leveled by Nappa, but West City itself is not mentioned as being destroyed. Later, after the battle with Majin Buu, the Earth is destroyed and re-created, which would include West City.

In Their Own Story

Bulma, a teenage girl from West City, meets Son Goku and together they travel to find the seven Dragon Balls. Their journey begins in West City, where Bulma lives with her father, Dr. Briefs, the founder of Capsule Corporation. The city serves as a starting point for many adventures, but the source does not provide a detailed narrative of events specifically set within West City beyond this initial meeting.

Reader's Guide

West City is primarily known as the home of Bulma and the Capsule Corporation. The city is not described as a frequent battleground; the source mentions that during the Saiyan Saga, Nappa attacked an unnamed city, not West City. For visitors, the city is a hub of human civilization, but the source provides limited information about its layout or daily life.
