**Broly** is a major antagonist in the Dragon Ball series, appearing in both movies and videogames.

## Background

Born in age 737, during the period of turmoil between Frieza and the Saiyans, Broly was a saiyan born with an unusually high power level of 10,000, greatly exceeding that of elite saiyans. Broly's power level was too high, which sparked an alarming concern to King Vegeta. Shortly after this discovery, King Vegeta ordered an execution to the infant Broly. Moments later, a saiyan arrives in the delivery room with a large knife, to which is used to stab Broly cleanly through the chest. Broly survived the execution, only to have to suffer with his father Paragus, who was blasted in the chest by a direct ki blast from King Vegeta. Shortly after, both Broly and Paragus were subject to genocide by an attack from Frieza, which ultimately destroyed their home planet of planet vegeta, only surviving due to a ki barrier that was created by Broly. In time, Broly's natural saiyan instincts for fighting and his legendary power let him to become increasingly unstable and violently destructive. Out of fear and desperation, Paragus seeks a scientist who developed a mind control device to subdue his son from lashing out with his power. This leads Paragus to the path of revenge against King Vegeta, by targeting his son Prince Vegeta.

## Powers & Abilities

* **Super Strength, Speed & Durability**
* **Wrestler:** Unlike most Saiyans in the Dragon Ball series, whose fighting style are reminiscent of martial arts, Broly's fighting style is more reminiscent of wrestling, attacking his opponents with techniques like grapples and bear hugs.
* **Regeneration:** He was able to survive numerous physical attacks that would normally kill a Saiyan like himself.
* **Saiyan Physiology:** As a Saiyan, he's a natural-born fighter, he loves charging into battle wishing for nothing else than to hit as hard he can, without and care for his own personal safety.
* **Zenkai/Saiyan Power:** The Saiyan ability to grow stronger as a Saiyan fights and grow stronger after recovering from a near fatal injury. Broly's Saiyan Power seems to be exceptionally strong compared to normal Saiyans, able to jump to new transformations from the experience.
* **Ki Manipulation:** Like most Saiyan's, Broly can harness ki (Or one's inner life-force), as an energy to increase his physicality, or fire it from his body in the form of lasers.
	+ **Flight:** Broly is able to use his Ki to fly.
	+ **Telekinesis:** Broly is able to use his Ki to move objects with telekinesis.
	+ **Paralysis:** Broly is able to use his Ki to paralyze foes, leaving them vulnerable for him to strike.
	+ **Ki Techniques:**
		- **Ki Blast:** The most basic form of energy wave.
		- **Eraser Cannon:** First, Broly charges a green light energy from around his body and gathers it into his palm to form a bright-green energy sphere. Next, he waves his hand forward and fires the attack at the opponent, inflicting a large amount of damage. In some cases, he also fires it from his chest.
		- **Eraser Blow:** Broly flies past the opponent with an Eraser Cannon in his hand that he brings near the opponent's stomach. He then throws his hand with the Eraser Cannon forward and, at point blank range, blasts the opponent away. The screen turns dark after the attack for dramatic effect.
		- **Double Eraser Cannon:** First, Broly charges two Eraser Cannons, one in each of his hands. Then, he swings his hands forward as he fires the energy spheres one by one at the opponent, inflicting a high amount of damage. It is also implied in a flashback that this attack was potent enough to completely obliterate a planet.
		- **Bone Crusher:** A "bear hug" move where he bear hugs his opponent so hard there bones break.
		- **Eraser Shot Volley:** First, Broly bends over slightly and charges an Eraser Cannon in his right hand. Then, he fires the attack and follows up by firing a barrage of Eraser Cannons from both hands at the opponent, inflicting a huge amount of damage.
		- **Planet Geyser:** When the energy blast hits the ground, it explodes and creates a giant geyser-like blast of energy that blasts the opponent up in the air, inflicting massive damage and capable of causing massive collateral damage to the surrounding area.
		- **Blaster Meteor:** First, the user forms an Energy Shield around his body. Then, he brings his hands apart to each side and releases many powerful energy blasts that home in on the target, inflicting a massive amount of damage.
		- **Seismic Power:** After transforming into a Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly powers up to such a degree that his screams and laughter cause an earthquake as well as a thunderstorm to appear.
		- **Super Explosive Wave:** The user stands charging energy around their body, then they explode with a gigantic energy sphere around their body. If the foe comes in contact with the Super Explosive Wave, it will deal much greater damage than the normal Explosive Wave. It can also be used for defense and offense at the very same time. It also appeared in the anime and some other video games with similar effects. The larger the user or the more ki they have, the wider and more enhanced it will become.
		- **Telekinesis:** A technique that allows the user to manipulate objects and other people with the power of one's mind. Broly briefly utilizes the technique to strangle Goten.
		- **Powered Shell:** A technique used to generate an energy shield around the user to protect them from attacks.
		- **Trap Shooter:** The user draws their right hand back and charges a green or yellow energy sphere. Then, they wave their hand forward and fire several, compact, powerful energy sphere bullets that follow the opponent's movements, inflicting considerable damage.
		- **Bloody Smash:** First, Broly kicks the opponent up into the air, where he grabs their head and throws them down to the ground. Then, he smashes the opponent's head into the ground and stomps on their back deeper into the ground, inflicting a high amount of damage.
		- **Gigantic Buster:** Broly shouts "Get out!" as he charges at the opponent and uppercuts them away up into the air. Then, he flies up into the air and lands on the ground, where he headbutts the falling opponent before roundhouse kicking them onto the ground. Finally, Broly runs at the reeling opponent and kicks them up into the air before blasting them away into the ground with an Gigantic Eraser, inflicting a massive amount of damage.
		- **Gigantic Hammer:** First, Broly strikes the opponent down with a massive clothesline. Then, he grabs the opponent by their shoulders and picks them up to vertical kick them up into the air. Next, he teleports in front of the opponent as he grabs them by their head and flies down to smash them across the ground. Finally, Broly picks up the opponent by their head, and uppercuts them in the stomach, knocking them away up into the air, inflicting a huge amount of damage.
		- **Gigantic Eraser:** A powered down variant of the Omega Blaster.
		- **Omega Blaster:** Broly launches a lime green energy sphere that changes into an enormous energy bomb of devastating power, while saying "Struggle all you want, in the end you still die!" Not only can he control the size of this attack, but he can also power it up by launching ki blasts into it to push it forward, making it even more powerful and destructive enough to destroy the whole planet. However, this also gives indication to the technique's weakness. Without a steady supply of ki blasts, the Omega Blaster will shrink and weaken in power.

## Transformations

### Super Saiyan C-Type

While Broly didn't turn into a typical Super Saiyan, Broly's form was actually a Super Saiyan C-Type, this Super Saiyan form multiplies his power by 50, and while he loses some self-control, it makes him even more powerful, though it can strain his body.

### Legendary Super Saiyan

Broly awakened this form as a result of Frieza destroying Planet Vegeta. And while it's possible he could access other Super Saiyan forms other weaker Saiyan's had at the time, like **Legendary Super Saiyan 3**, **Legendary Super Saiyan 4**, **God Broly**, and **Legendary Great Ape**, it's really the only Super Saiyan form he ever takes. As the Legendary Super Saiyan, Broly's strength and speed greatly excel that of any Super Saiyan shown previously. Broly's height and muscle mass are also greatly increased after transforming; the former reaching 9'0" (274cm) in height. His power level also rises on several occasions found throughout the film, though whether this is caused by the form or is simply Broly increasing his power level is left unclear. Additionally, the irises and pupils in his eyes disappear, and his hair changes to a light-green color, and while he sacrifices all self-control in this form. In addition, although it has superficial similarities to the Super Saiyan Third Grade form, it also possessed tremendous speed, with the Daizenshuu 6 even stating that his speed in this form was "Ultra-First Class", which was demonstrated with his effortlessly dodging rapid attacks from a combined front of both Goku and Piccolo at one point, as well as a clothesline maneuver he performed on Goku late in their battle. The form has also been referred to as **Super Saiyan (B-Type)** or **Super Saiyan (Final Form)**.
