Broly is the deadliest and most powerful saiyan known to history and is also known as the Legendary Super Saiyan. There are now two versions of the character, canon and non-canon. In the non-canon version Broly’s power level was so enormous at birth, it put fear in King Vegeta. It was predicted Broly will eventually surpass the royal bloodline in raw power, so King Vegeta ordered Broly to be killed. Broly survives the fatal attempt thus causing his power to double in the process. This power allowed infant Broly to shield himself and his father from the explosion of Planet Vegeta as it was being destroyed by Frieza. Broly grew to become an uncontrolled superpower capable of destroying planets, solar systems and galaxies, all to feed his desire for destruction.
This version of Broly was also created with a subconscious annoyance with Goku, simply because of his constant crying as an infant. This hatred for Goku remained with Broly into adulthood which is also confusing to readers to how Broly would recognize Goku in adult form. Goku was destined to purge life on Earth and Broly set to be executed. Through many unforeseen circumstances, their destinies changed, Broly turned out to be the destroyer of the universe while Goku became the protector. In all respects, Broly and Goku is the representation of the light and darkness of the saiyan race.
The canon version of Broly is featured in the movie Dragonball Super: Broly. This canon version of the Legendary Super Saiyan also dismissed by King Vegeta but in a more less violent way. he was sent away to a hostile world to leave away from the Saiyan Empire in exile. later in the years Frieza finds Broly and his father and recruits them to his new armed forces after the Tournament of Power. Frieza unleashes Broly upon Goku and Vegeta, and to everyone surprise Broly gains his amazing strength and fighting abilities against the god saiyans at an exponential rate. Once Paragus was killed by the hands of Frieza, Broly unlocked Super Saiyan and became stronger than Goku and Vegeta at their highest master form, only through fusion could Broly be defeated. Broly had no roots in his hatred for Goku, only his orders from his father to destroy Vegeta for his mistake in abandoning on a harsh wasteland. Now without his father and Frieza, Broly made amends with the Z fighters and now is among the ranks.
Comic fans often wonder how Broly would fair against the Z fighters’ most difficult opponents: Kid Buu and Omega Shenron. In the DBZ anime, all the Z fighters including Goku eventually tires out in battle. Replenishment of power comes from available senzu beans or borrowed energy; tactics Broly doesn’t need since he wields the legendary form. Broly’s power would increase dramatically during the intense battle and it’s even possible that in either battle, Broly could jump through the different levels of super saiyan. Kid Buu would need to absorb Omega Shenron to gain an advantage on Broly. Comic fans even discussed fantasy crossover battles between Broly, Superman and the Hulk. Superman and the Hulk have a lack of knowledge on ki manipulation, so how would they able to withstand Broly’s sheer force? Since Broly appeared to be defeated prematurely in the animated movies, DBZ fans refuse to let the idea of Broly die. Broly’s life is extended in the DBZ universe through video game storylines. Will we get a new set of movies welcoming the return of Broly?!
