Background / History

Broly was born on Planet Vegeta with a combat power of 10,000, exceeding Prince Vegeta's and making King Vegeta fear his potential. The king ordered Broly killed as an unstable threat; he was stabbed in the chest while still an infant. Wang Yang witnessed the attack, rescued the wounded Broly, and escaped the Saiyan facility with him. 1 2

As Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta, Broly awakened and instinctively generated a green Protective Barrier. The barrier carried Broly, Wang Yang, and the injured Paragus safely through space until they reached a life-bearing planet. 2 3

Broly initially showed little interest in either Wang Yang's or Paragus's orders, but he gradually formed a close attachment to Wang Yang. He smiled innocently at him after their escape and later chose to remain with Wang Yang because he was happy there and enjoyed the food. 3 4 11

Paragus trained Broly for power and intended to use him to conquer the universe. Wang Yang opposed this approach, believing Broly's ever-growing strength would eventually overwhelm his control and endanger the planet. He began teaching Broly ki control and mental tranquility instead. 6 9 10

During a full moon, Broly transformed into a berserk Great Ape and devastated the imperial city. He severely injured Wang Yang, who destroyed the moon to end the transformation. To prevent another rampage, Wang Yang convinced the young Broly to tear off his own tail. 7 8 9

After two years of training, Broly's power had risen beyond 30,000 even while suppressed. He and Wang Yang regularly sparred to build combat experience, though Broly's natural stamina and reserve of power greatly surpassed Wang Yang's. 11

Paragus later manipulated Broly into assassinating Linge, the leader of a visiting group, with a surprise energy blast. He then deceived Broly into leaving Wang Yang behind, claiming that Wang Yang did not want to leave the planet. Broly departed reluctantly with Paragus aboard the visitors' spaceship. 13 14

Appearance

Broly is introduced as a young Saiyan child. In his Great Ape state, he becomes a massive black-furred ape with thick limbs, jagged fangs, and a ferocious appearance. 1 20

• Possessed a Saiyan tail until he tore it off to prevent future Great Ape transformations. 9
• Produces a distinctive green Protective Barrier and green energy attacks. 2 11
• His Great Ape form is accompanied by violent, rapidly escalating ki. 7 8

Personality

Broly is innocent, straightforward, and easily influenced. As a young child, he struggles to understand deception or moral complexity, readily accepting Paragus's claim that Linge was an enemy and believing Paragus when told Wang Yang did not want to leave. 13 14

He is deeply motivated by trust, companionship, and food. He enjoys Wang Yang's company, worries when Wang Yang is injured, and ultimately prefers staying with Wang Yang over leaving with Paragus until Paragus persuades him that they will return. 3 9 11 14

In battle, Broly can become excited and competitive, but his uncontrolled Great Ape transformation turns him into a destructive berserker. His exceptional bloodline gives him an instinctive sensitivity to danger even while his mind is overwhelmed. 8 11
