Broly

The original version of Broly was born on the same day as Goku (kakarot), and had a power level of 10,000 (greater than most elite Saiyans). King Vegeta viewed Broly's immense power as a potential threat to his rule and immediately ordered for his execution. An infant Broly was then stabbed through the chest with a large knife and was thrown away into a garbage waste pit to die. His father Paragus would also join him as he tried to reason with the irrational King Vegeta but was blasted away. Now with both father and son lying in agony and slowing dying, an explosion on their home world of Planet Vegeta begins to occur. It's the genocide attack by Frieza. Broly, realizing he's in danger, cries out and creates a Ki based shield barrier that encloses him and his father to escape Frieza's subsequent destruction of Planet Vegeta. Broly, due to his extreme power, will eventually become the feared and ultra powerful, Legendary Super Saiyan, as told in the Saiyan legends.

Movie: 08, Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan (1993), Paragus lures Vegeta, Goku, and their companions to another planet, New Vegeta, intending to take his revenge on King Vegeta through his son. Broly eventually rages out and this leads to a small battle, to which Broly is able to overcome the mind control device and explode into his true form, the Legendary Super Saiyan. He effortlessly overpowers Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Trunks as well as Piccolo before killing his own father. He is eventually defeated by Goku, who was able to gain energy from the others and capitalize on Broly dropping his guard for a final attack, and punches a hole through Broly's abdomen which seemingly destroys him. Broly survives and a makes his way into his escape pod before a comet strikes and destroys New Vegeta.[5]

Movie: 10, Broly – Second Coming (1994), Broly lands on Earth. Still wounded and barely alive following his battle with Goku, he reverts to his normal form, loses consciousness and the surrounding waters freezes over Broly, causing a frozen ice coma. Seven years later, after Cell's defeat, he is awakened by the wails of Goku's second youngest son, Goten. After attacking an innocent village, Broly is confronted by Videl who attempts to stop his attacks but fails. This prompts Goten & Trunks to intervene. During this battle, Broly views Goten and begins to mistakenly recognize him as Goku, which angers him to a rampage. Broly once again goes on a sadistic rampage which catches the attention of Gohan. Once Gohan arrives he is disgusted by Broly for attacking children. Broly, without remorse or care dives directly at Gohan and begins a battle. After Videl, Goten & Trunks are defeated, Gohan begins to become angry at Broly (who is maniacally laughing at him) which prompts him to power up to Super Saiyan 2, which in turn provokes Broly to transforming into his Legendary Super Saiyan form. Without hesitation, Gohan attacks Broly, only to be greatly overwhelmed by the massive power of Broly. After a very long battle, Broly is finally defeated by Gohan, Goten & Goku with a powerful combined Kamehameha which blasts Broly directly through the sun. [5]

Movie: 11, Bio-Broly (1994), Broly's blood samples make their way into the hands of an industrialist, who creates a clone of the original Broly. The clone eventually wakes up and becomes mixed with bio-liquid, becoming mutated into a creature known as "Bio-Broly" (バイオブロリー, Baio Burorī). He fights Goten, Trunks, Android 18, and Krillin but is eventually defeated after his body is exposed to water and becomes petrified before he is destroyed by a powerful tripled combined Kamehameha wave. The ending of the film shows a brief interaction between the Northern Kai and Goku, informing that Broly is causing trouble in hell and needs him to stop his threat, which sets up a cancelled fourth Broly movie (which was reworked as fusion reborn and had Janemba replacing Broly as the main villain).

An interactive 4-D cinematic theme attraction at Universal Studios Japan, and the successor to Dragon Ball Z: The Real 4-D. Like its predecessor, it's a new installment in the Dragon Ball series, featuring the return of The Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly, now with his new God form. Taking place during a martial arts tournament, God Broly appears and begins his assault. He is able to overpower a super saiyan blue Goku, and is able to knock out cold a super saiyan blue Vegeta. With the help of the audience, Goku is able to perform a special God fusion and blasts away God Broly with his God Kamehameha.

A new version of the classic character named Broly. In this new version, the character of Broly has been rewritten and reworked as a kind and gentle natured Saiyan. Debuting in the 2018 film, Dragon Ball Super: Broly , which tells the story of Goku, Vegeta, and Frieza, encountering the exiled Saiyan for the first time.[6][5][7] The film begins with a new reworked version of the traditional Saiyan race history, which now adds the birth of Broly. Born with a very high power level, (greater than that of Prince Vegeta), King Vegeta orders Broly to be exiled to the wasteland planet Vampa. Broly's father, Paragus steals a ship to follow his exiled son directly to planet Vampa. For many decades, Broly and Paragus are stranded on this hostile and inhospitable world, until they are accidentally discovered by the Frieza force members of Cheelai and Lemo. After Broly and Paragus are finally rescued, Cheelai begins to sympathize with Broly. She views him as reserved, compassionate, and not wanting to fight (which are traits rare within the Saiyan race). In spite of his innate kindness, Broly has trouble controlling his power whenever he's angered, exerted, or provoked to a certain point. When he loses control, Broly becomes a destructive and mindless berserker with no sanity, and resorts to nothing but angry screaming and yelling, and is unable to distinguish friend from foe. Recruited by Frieza and going to Earth, Paragus unleashes Broly upon Vegeta to fulfill his revenge. Broly quickly adapts and holds his own against Vegeta and Goku but gradually loses control of his mind to rage. After learning that Broly has never achieved Super Saiyan, Frieza remembers his first battle against Goku on planet Namek, and how he triggered Goku into a Super Saiyan. In the hopes of the same effect, Frieza shoots his signature Death Beam directly at Paragus, killing him. This causes the mindless and berserk Broly to completely lose all sanity through rage, and transforms (for the first time in his life) into a Super Saiyan. Super Saiyan Broly proves to be too powerful for a Super Saiyan Blue Goku and Vegeta to handle, which causes them to retreat to Piccolo's location. During this time, Super Saiyan Broly is fighting Frieza, while Piccolo teaches Goku and Vegeta the fusion dance. After a few fails, Goku and Vegeta are successful and fuse into Gogeta and teleports back to Broly's location (who is still fighting Frieza). Gogeta now draws the fight to him in which he begins a battle. Shortly after the battle begins, Gogeta transforms into a Super Saiyan, which shows both opponents at almost nearly equal power. Further into the battle, Super Saiyan Broly and Super Saiyan Gogeta are accidentally sucked into a strange dimension, where Gogeta transforms into a Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan (Super Saiyan Blue) and Broly powers up into his Full Power Super Saiyan form (which is a tribute and homage to the classic "Legendary Super Saiyan" form used by the original version of Broly) Ultimately, Gogeta easily defeats Broly but Cheelai and Lemo manage to use the Dragon Balls to transport Broly back to Vampa before Gogeta can finish him off. Cheelai and Lemo settle down with the reverted Broly but are visited by Goku, who brings the group supplies and offers to teach Broly how to control his power, befriending him and sparking a friendly rivalry between them.

Broly debuted in the video game Dragon Ball Z Super Butoden 2 (1993).[8] Since then, Broly has frequently been included in several Dragon Ball Z-related video games, along with fellow movie and characters such as Bardock, Cooler, and Omega Shenron. In Dragon Ball Z: Supersonic Warriors 2 (2005), Broly is the subject of three side stories: one that deals with what would have happened if Broly and Paragus succeeded in destroying the Z-Fighters; another, Broly being placed under the control of Dr. Gero; the third, Broly arriving during the Majin Buu Saga and bonding with Mr. Satan. In Dragon Ball Z: Burst Limit (2008), he has his own story mode entry alongside Bardock, which is a loose adaptation of his debut film. Both his original and Super incarnations appear as playable characters via downloadable content in the video game Dragon Ball FighterZ (2018).

Although Broly never appears in the original manga, he appears as a frequent antagonist in the spin-off manga Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission (2012), written by Toyotarō in Weekly Shōnen Jump and published by Shueisha, where he acts as the henchman to Genome in the latter's plan to retrieve the Black Star Dragon Balls.
