Broly is the main antagonist of the movie 01: Dragon Ball Super - Broly. He is one of the few Saiyans to have survived the destruction of the planet Vegeta. Being born with an immense potential of power, clearly superior to that of Prince Vegeta IV, he was feared by his father, King Vegeta III, and exiled on Vampa, a hostile planet 5 years before the destruction of his native planet, in the year 732. Recruited by Freezer years later, in order to get rid of Son Goku and Vegeta, he will become the main antagonist of the movie Dragon Ball Super - Broly.

Apparence
As a child, Broly wears a battle armor, which will be enlarged after his transformation into a Giant Ape. He wears white gloves and blue shorts during his childhood.
This version of Broly is slightly smaller in size, he has scars on his left cheek, above his left elbow, and on his left pectoral. He also has black eyes, like all his fellow Saiyans.
Disowned by King Vegeta III because of his incredible potential exceeding that of his son, Prince Vegeta IV, he is exiled on the planet Vampa, planet where Broly will have never stopped training in order to survive.
Contrary to the first version of Broly, this new rewrite makes him an altruistic and good character. He has been manipulated several times by his father Paragus who wants to make him an instrument of revenge in order to eliminate King Vegeta III. The fact of having been manipulated many times since his birth gave him an unstable mind, which led him to be totally crazy and difficult to control during the fight against Son Gokû, Vegeta, Freezer, Whis and finally Gogeta.
Broly is a reserved, introverted and unpredictable person because his anger can take over at any moment. He is suspicious because of his experience on Planet Vampa. He is protective of his friends and is not evil like his movie counterpart.
The first person he meets and befriends is Cheelai, a young recruit of Freezer's army and is probably the only one who understands Broly's purity. Son Goku will have the opportunity later to realize it during their fight.
During his fights, Broly shows his terrifying power; his great particularity is that his power and his technique are refined very quickly during the fights he leads. He managed to defeat Vegeta and Son Goku in Super Saiyan Blue.
Even with the arrival of Gogeta in Super Saiyan Blue, although he is at a disadvantage, Broly in Full Power comes back and is equal to his opponent.
Skills and Competencies
At a young age, Broly already had more potential than Vegeta.
Years later, Broly joined Freezer's army and went to Earth to fulfill the revenge of his father, Paragus, and unknowingly Freezer. Upon his arrival, Broly in his base form managed to stand up to Vegeta as a Super Saiyan and Super Saiyan God. Later, when Broly was out of control due to his excessive rage, in his base form, he incorporated the Giant Ape's combative instincts and power that was out of control due to his hidden potential, which gave him spiky hair and a greenish aura and later dominated Vegeta in Super Saiyan God form in a second confrontation.
Moreover, when Broly was in this form, he also fought Son Gokû who was in Super Saiyan, in Super Saiyan God then in Super Saiyan Blue; in spite of the difference of the levels of transformations, Broly still had a power which was largely superior to that of Son Gokû. Then, after the death of his father, Broly transformed for the first time into Super Saiyan, thanks to the anger accumulated at this tragic event, and he fought again against Gokû and Vegeta together. He managed to stand up to them and dominate them, while they were in Super Saiyan Blue. After this fight, he rushes to attack Gokû and Vegeta, but Freezer appears in front of him and is attacked by the Saiyan, which allows Son Gokû and Vegeta to flee in the middle of the fight to make a strategic withdrawal. For about an hour, Broly challenges Freezer in his final form, it is then that the latter uses his Golden Freezer form necessary to fight against the colossal power of Broly. After the arrival of Gogeta, Broly was finally able to fight an opponent of his level. Then, as the end of the fight approached, Broly transformed into a full strength Super Saiyan and fought Gogeta as Super Saiyan Blue in a merciless battle. Despite a hard fight, Broly was for the first time dominated by his opponent. However, he still resisted and came back to the charge, despite the power gap.
History
Broly is a character who is quite adored by all the fans. Yamauchi Shigeyasu has taken great care to treat this character. Indeed, when we hear about the Legendary Super Saiyan, Vegeta refers to a unique warrior who carries a power surpassing a basic Saiyan warrior. Ginyu's words at that time even go as far as to say that the Super Saiyan is bloodthirsty and loves any fight. This description will never hit Son Goku, Trunks or Son Gohan, only Vegeta has these attributes to a lesser extent if we compare him to Broly. As for Goku, he used this power in front of the cruelty that Freezer inspired him, not content with coldly killing Kuririn. And despite all the sadism used by the tyrant, Gokû will have pity on him. This description can echo Trunks' transformation into Super Saiyan Dai 3 Dankai.
Thus, after having explored new opponents in various films by following the current themes of the manga, for his first full time film (unlike the third film) Yamauchi Shigeyasu takes the lead by proposing an original story that does not follow the current plot of the manga. He uses Toriyama's half-opened keys to create a Super Saiyan from scratch and make it a unique status, which legitimately differs with the existing Saiyan, while keeping a certain coherence to the story. The bet is successful since many fans integrate Broly (consciously or not) to the characters of the manga.
The second half of the movie focuses on Broly's devastating fight, the so singular realization Yamauchi Shigeyasu makes Broly a real "tank", making him insensible to all attacks. His fighting style is very orthodox and becomes sadistic on several occasions, especially when he makes Goku take Son Gohan away from the battlefield. He also breaks Vegeta's great pride with ease within seconds.
In the second film, rather than having him return to his initial stage, the film initially focuses on his fight with Trunks and Son Goten, mistaking the latter for Kakarotto. The movie was made before the Weekly Shônen Jump published chapter 444 which reveals that Son Gohan has lost a lot of his potential after his fight with Cell. The movie, omits the lightning that characterizes the transformation of Super Saiyan 2.
To this day, there is much debate about Broly's true fighting potential. At the time of his creation, the stages of Super Saiyan 2 and Super Saiyan 3 did not exist, as well as the mergers. Some people think that Broly is still more powerful than Son Goku, others think that he has fallen in line. It is also important to remember that Broly has never been written by Akira Toriyama himself and that he can have a different interpretation. Thus, Broly's actions are often awkwardly linked to the author of the manga, who is not for much in the end.
Nowadays, Broly has become a first choice marketing character for the franchise, especially in video games. Dimps didn't hesitate to take advantage of the fan service by making him oppose Gogeta during the introduction of Budokai 3. He now appears in all the rosters of Dragon Ball games because the demand is numerous. Rarely, the character will have the luxury to benefit from several unpublished transformations through Dragon Ball Heroes in particular, making people talk about him and his possible potential on the communities.
