Broly’s Next Move in Dragon Ball Super

by

Summary

  • Broly’s new backstory is sympathetic and he is now training with the Z-Fighters.
  • Broly may receive a unique power-up, potentially the Super Saiyan 4 transformation.
  • Fans theorize Broly and Gohan fusing could create the strongest character in the series.

Initially introduced in the Dragon Ball series, Broly captured attention as not just a formidable character but also as one of the franchise’s most fearsome and daunting antagonists. This menacing figure posed a danger even to entire galaxies, causing fans to develop an instant affection for him when they were first introduced. As a result, there was a strong demand among fans for the character to become part of the series’ official lore.

2018 saw my prayers answered in a spectacular way when the groundbreaking movie, “Dragon Ball Super: Broly,” officially entered the canon. This movie not only introduced him but did so in a thoughtful and sustainable manner, making Broly a much more relatable and empathetic figure. His otherworldly powers were uncontrollable due to his tough upbringing and living conditions, which is now a central part of his character. As he trains alongside Goku and Vegeta, I can’t wait to see where the series takes this beloved character in the future!

A Greater Role Within Universe 7

How Broly Is Now A Main Character

First Canon Appearance Dragon Ball Super: Broly
Debut Date December 14, 2018
Story Arc Broly Arc

Initially introduced as a power-packed madman who single-handedly defeated every Z-Fighter, Broly quickly became a favorite among fans due to his masochistic nature and brutal demeanor. Many viewers found it thrilling to watch him effortlessly conquer the universe’s most revered protectors. Yet, his origins revealed in his canonical debut were marked by profound sadness.

Throughout his life, he had been subjected to mistreatment and harsh living situations that, combined with his exceptional Saiyan abilities, turned him into an incredibly powerful being whose power he couldn’t control. This key aspect of his past played a significant role in shaping the plot of the Broly film, as it was revealed that his rampage wasn’t intentional and that he required guidance to master his strength. Once Goku discovered this, he invited him to join the Z-Fighters for training purposes, where he would work alongside Goku, Vegeta, Beerus, Whis, and Gohan.

The hardships and abuse he faced throughout his life, along with his innate Saiyan power, made him an unstoppable force who couldn’t control his might. This was a significant factor in the storyline of the Broly movie because it turned out that he wasn’t deliberately causing destruction and needed proper training to harness his strength. Eventually, Goku invited him to become part of the Z-Fighters so they could train together with Vegeta, Beerus, Whis, and Gohan.

It seemed like my strength was about to hit its maximum, but suddenly, there was someone who outmatched me in terms of power. This fellow appears to be stronger not just than me, but potentially stronger than Beerus as well!

In their last sighting, Broly was engaging in training for the first time, striving to master his strength over a period. During his sparring session with Gohan, he discovered the art of controlling his fury and abilities from the Beast transformation, leading him to reveal his Full Powered Super Saiyan form. This state preserves all of his immense power while keeping him mentally sound, positioning him as one of the multiverse’s strongest combatants.

The path ahead for him remains uncertain, largely depending on the course of his story. Yet, there are several potential paths that many anticipate for Broly in the future, often centered around enhancing his power further since the overall strength level within the series tends to escalate over time. When the Black Frieza arc eventually arrives, it’s crucial for every Saiyan to be at their peak strength to overcome the show’s most legendary antagonist in his strongest form.

A Further Unique Power-up Likely Awaits

Broly May Utilize A Fan-Favorite Form

It’s common knowledge that the Dragon Ball franchise emphasizes strength and striving for growth above everything else. This focus implies that future antagonists will become increasingly powerful, posing a greater challenge for our heroes. To meet this growing threat, the heroes themselves must amplify their power significantly. The series effectively explores this theme by making character-specific transformations commonplace.

Based on recent developments, there’s a strong expectation that Broly will receive another power-up distinct from his Full Powered Super Saiyan. Fan speculation is rife that this new form could be introduced in “Super” given the incorporation of Super Saiyan 4 into the canon with Episode 18 of “Dragon Ball Daimao”. This form seems to align perfectly with Broly’s narrative as a rampaging powerhouse, making it a fitting choice for him among all the Saiyans in the series.

A Potential Fusion With Gohan

The Chance For The Strongest Fusion in the Franchise

In Dragon Ball Super, a popular speculation about Broly’s future involves another power-up which could alter the series’ power dynamics significantly. The Saiyan fusions, particularly Vegito and Gogeta, are the most potent mortal beings ever seen in the franchise. However, many fans strongly argue that if Broly and Gohan were to merge, their fusion could potentially surpass even these mighty combinations.

The focus here is primarily on the immense ability of each character, considering that Saiyans can achieve Ultra Instinct-level combat without any training by channeling their rage. If these characters were to combine into a single entity, they could potentially surpass Beerus in strength. This is because Gohan (Beast) was able to match Ultra Instinct Goku, and Broly was suggested to be on par with him.

Dragon Ball can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
