• The Dragon Ball healed Ba’s wound and transformed it, and its burst of evil energy halted Mira in midair.

• Broly threw a wild punch, and Mira pulled back just in time to avoid it.

• Lemo and Cheelai stared in amazement at Broly's strength.

• Paragus asked whether Frieza still hunted Saiyan survivors, and Lemo said the general commanding their patrol was a Saiyan.
• When Lemo tried to use a Hoi-Poi Capsule to leave, Paragus seized his wrist and demanded the whole story before boarding the ship.

On the way to join the general, Lemo told Paragus that the general was a powerful Saiyan who had been exiled as a child, prompting Paragus to see him as a kindred spirit and hope Broly would earn a place in his forces.
