When she opens them back up she see's Goku standing there looking at her. Bulma screams and quickly submerges herself deeper in the water so only her head is sticking out of the bath water while Goku makes a comment about her breasts thinking that girls have an extra butt on their chest. After Bulma finds out that Goku is closer to her age when she asked how old he is, she begins to start throwing several bath accessories at him to make him leave.

Dragon Ball Kai

Episode 22

The footage from Bulma Brief's bath scene from episode 49 of Dragon Ball Z was reused in this remake being one of the few filler scenes from Dragon Ball Z to kept in Dragon Ball Kai. The beginning scene of Bulma in the bathtub Crossing her legs being seen in the reflection of a bubble was reanimated. In the rest of the scene had slightly altered colors and thicker lines. The soap suds from the Bubble Bath were more darkened and detailed and the water on Bulma's body is more visible. The last part of the original scene where Bulma is shown bending over was removed most likely for both the reasons of its subliminal nature and for minimizing of filler.
