Broly/Misc

==Appearances in other media==
===Super Battle Stage===
Broly and his father are the main antagonists in the 2010 live-action battle show Dragon Ball Kai: Super Battle Stage, which is loosely based on the 1993 movie Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan. His role is largely similar, although the crown not only isn't destroyed, but it also ended up being Broly's weakness, which was later exploited by Bulma to defeat him.

He made his first playable appearance in Super Butōden 2 (a cheat code is required to access him in the Japanese version). In the Story Mode, he appears to kill Bojack if the Z Fighters fail to defeat him and attacks the Z Fighters under certain conditions. In various video games, he tends to move slow while unleashing devastating blows while in his Legendary Super Saiyan form, despite his home movie establishing that he moves extremely fast. This was done to maintain gameplay balance, although it was eventually restored somewhat with his Legendary Super Saiyan 3 form.
In Budokai Tenkaichi 2, aside from his roles for the sagas adapting the movies Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan and Broly - Second Coming, he is also fought in the Majin Buu Saga and GT Saga's free mode. He is specifically challenged at the Glacier area, acting as an indirect reference to how Broly was originally frozen underneath a lake in the beginning of the latter film. When spoken to to instigate the fight, Broly is calling out for Goku and demanding to know where he is.
In Shin Budokai - Another Road, Future Broly is an antagonist in which the Z Fighters go to the aid of Future Trunks in his struggle with Future Majin Buu.
In Raging Blast, Broly has a Super Saiyan 3 transformation that is part of a what-if scenario in the story mode. This video game exclusive Super Saiyan 3 transformation was first revealed in the August 19th, 2009, edition of in V-Jump and was also showcased in the new trailer released on the same date.
In Raging Blast 2, the player can unlock an image of Super Saiyan 3 Broly, which looks like it was taken from the series/movie. 
In FighterZ, he appears as a DLC character via the Broly Pack DLC which unlocks Broly, and several recolors.
Broly appears as cards in Dokkan Battle for his base form and Super Saiyan C-Type form.
In Xenoverse 2, Legendary Super Saiyan Broly is playable under the name Broly. Additionally, his Supervillain form appears as a playable form as well. Despite his personality, Broly ironically appears as one of the Patroller Academy Instructors that the Future Warrior can train under after confronting him when he first appears in Conton City. Due to his personality making him unsuitable for teaching moves, from a story perspective, it is suggested by Broly that the Future Warrior is just copying his skills through Mimicry.
==Reception==
Since his debut, Broly was very well-received by fans of the franchise both in Japan as well as overseas. Because of this popularity, he was notable as being one of only two movie-exclusive characters to consistently appear in various video games, the only other being Bardock, as well as one of only two movie villains to gain more than one film appearance as the main antagonist, the only other being Cooler, as well as having the most appearances among the movie villains (having three in the entire Z movie lineup). In addition, Broly's popularity resulted in the creation of the character Kale for the Universe Survival Saga of Dragon Ball Super, as well as being included in the mainline storyline in a revamped manner.

*New Saiyan Empire members - Killed in the crossfire while Broly was forcibly venting excess ki.
*Paragus - Broly kills Paragus by crushing his space pod with his arms.
;Dragon Ball Heroes
*Xeno King Vegeta - Killed by Dark Broly during the Dark King Mechikabura Saga.
;Games
*Future Trunks - Future Trunks (who had lived through the events of Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan but has his hair and clothing from the Android Saga) was killed by Broly during the Tournament of Time when he took the Blaster Shell meant for Shallot, sending him back to his proper time with no memories of the tournament.
==Trivia==
*Broly's name is a pun on the vegetable broccoli, which is even referenced in Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan when a drunk Master Roshi calls him "Broccoli".
**This technically makes him the second Saiyan whose name is a pun on "broccoli", after Shorty (who in the Japanese version was named "Brocco").
*In the Other World Saga, an alternate-colored Broly appears in the crowd at the Other World Tournament.
*In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, Master Roshi mentions Broly during the Universe Survival Saga.
*In Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans, it is shown that Broly is from a separate dimension to the main one.
*Despite being potentially mentioned at the conclusion of Bio-Broly that he is a resident of Hell, Broly does not make an appearance in Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn or the Super 17 Saga of Dragon Ball GT, when the residents of Hell make their escape to Earth. He does, however, escape from Hell a few times in Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai and Dragon Ball Heroes.
*Broly and Cooler are the only movie villains to appear in more than one Dragon Ball Z film as the main villain.
*Besides flashbacks of his infancy, Broly is not seen with a tail despite Akira Toriyama's character design sheets depicting him as an adult with it, with Toriyama's notes leaving it ambiguous as to whether or not he retained it in adulthood due to him saying it's "alright whether or not he has a tail." However, as most adult Saiyans wrap their tails in a belt fashion, Broly may have done so and is covered by his sash. In Dragon Ball Xenoverse's "Legendary Super Saiyan Saga", Bardock destroyed Vegeta's Power Ball after transforming with it himself to prevent Broly from doing the same, a feat he performs in Dragon Ball Heroes, showing that Broly indeed retained his tail.
*In Xenoverse, Broly appears in Toki Toki City for a mission the Future Warrior can participate in. If the Warrior is a Majin, he'll remark how they look cute.
*Interestingly, in Xenoverse 2, Beerus is shown to be aware of who Broly is if the Future Warrior talks to Beerus in Conton City while training under Broly. Beerus will state he is surprised that Broly would be willing to train anyone given his personality.
*Oddly, despite Broly's hatred of Goku being immense enough that, at least by the time of Second Coming, he mistook Goten for Goku just from a similar physical appearance, he does not seem to mistake Turles for Goku in Xenoverse 2. However, it is implied that Broly mistook Goten for his father due to his similar scent, crying, and appearance combined with Broly's fragile mental state as he notes similarities in the scents of Goku's close relatives such as his eldest son, father, and brother in Xenoverse 2 (the latter to a much lesser extent, as unlike with Gohan and Bardock, he ended up confused by Raditz possessing Kakarot's scent due to his lacking much resemblance to him at all). He also mistakes the Masked Saiyan for Goku presumably due to his similar appearance, scent, and the mask that obscures Bardock's scarred face. He also recognizes GT Goku despite him being reduced to a child. Broly even says that Kakarot won't escape him by shrinking away and hiding from him, which GT Goku states sounds pretty hilarious to him.
*Broly is similar to the previous film antagonist Android 13, both have a hatred for Goku and seek to eliminate him above all others, they both transform into a huge muscular pupil-less form which proves near impossible for the other Z Fighters to put a dent in until Goku is supplied with energy and defeats them with one punch in the gut. The only notable difference is that Broly's hatred of Goku was personal, while Android 13 only hated Goku due to being programmed by Dr. Gero to have hatred of him post-humously. The other difference is how Android 13 died from Goku's punch while Broly lived from it.
*Broly is mentioned in the description on Kale's artwork, noting that she looks just like "that legendary Saiyan." Broly's popularity was the reason she was created.
**The Extra Pack 3 DLC from Xenoverse 2, lampshades their similarities in New Parallel Quest: "Catch Kefla If You Can as Kale's Potara fusion Kefla notes there is something familiar about him when she encounters him.
**Beat comments in Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission that Broly and Kale share similar ki.
*Due to his actions in World Mission, the SDBH game world Broly is responsible for Beat achieving his natural Super Saiyan form due to rage he felt over the perceived "death" of Note.
*Broly wearing a crown that forces him to suppress his unfathomable power during the first movie was similar to Sun Wukong, who when imprisoned wore a crown that causes him agony whenever Tripitaka chants the mantra of obedience. Ironically, his sworn nemesis Goku also shares the same character origins.
**On a similar note, Broly's attire in his original incarnation was based in part on how Sun Wukong appeared as "the Handsome Monkey King", and Broly's more bloodthirsty disposition resembled how Sun Wukong was originally characterized as resorting to violence and murder.
**In a further level of irony, one of the alternate character arcs had Broly and Paragus, after conquering the Earth, proceeding to protect it from various threats, including Cell and Majin Buu, which was similar to how Goku was originally slated to conquer Earth, only to end up thanks to his amnesia proceeding to protect it from various villainous forces such as the Red Ribbon Army and the Demon Clan.
*In some versions of the remastered release of his first appearance, Broly's voice was increased in pitch. However, for some unknown reason, his voice remained unaltered in the remastered version of his second appearance.
** In addition, his voice was depicted differently between the Japanese and English versions. The former had him sounding somewhat younger as well as closer to a teenager, while the latter had him sounding significantly older.
*Broly is five years younger than his Dragon Ball Super counterpart as Broly (DBS) was born in Age 732 while Broly (DBZ) was born in Age 737.
*Broly is among the tallest known Saiyan in the Dragon Ball franchise, towering at 239 cm (7'10") - 300 (9'10").
*According to Shigeyasu Yamauchi, Broly has a lonely existence that stemmed from his strength in contrast to Goku and Vegeta who believed in fighting for something or someone, as part of a theme on how power alone ultimately is nothing compared to love, family, and connections. Broly has the realization that strength is not only physical upon his defeat, to the extent that he even proceeded to question what his true role in existence was. Elements of this characterization may have been included in Xenoverse due to his interactions with Turles, namely their differing philosophies regarding battle.
