While the canon story removes the onscreen depiction of his one-man charge into space, fighting his way through grunts to reach Frieza himself as depicted in the original Toei OVA, it is heavily implied that the one-man charge still happened judging by his damaged battle armor and being surrounded by all of Frieza's goons as he attempts to stop the tyrant from destroying his home planet, and on top of that Bardock here manages to desperately resist, and his blast actually manages to <em>slow the Supernova down</em> before it ultimately engulfs him.</li><li> In <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Anime/DragonBallZBrolyTheLegendarySuperSaiyan' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Anime/DragonBallZBrolyTheLegendarySuperSaiyan' data-format='W1tBbmltZS9EcmFnb25CYWxsWkJyb2x5VGhlTGVnZW5kYXJ5U3VwZXJTYWl5YW4gdGhlIG9yaWdpbmFsIG1vdmllXV0='>the original movie</a> where Broly made his first debut, Vegeta greatly feared Broly for his power and being the legendary Super Saiyan and by the time Vegeta regained his courage to face Broly, Broly still demolished Vegeta in one move.

Instead, Broly is described as a mutant to the Saiyan race, and his transformations have more in common with a "giant ape in human form" than any sort of legend.

It's stated that his intentions is not just to ensure his son would be the next rising star among the Saiyans, but also because Broly <em>is</em> a danger to the universe. It was also indicated that he placed Broly in an environment where he could potentially through trial and error learn to control his power by isolating him and thus leaving few people in danger. He also did not stop Paragus from trying to save Broly, whereas before he blasted Paragus for attempting to protest.</li></ul></li><li> <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdaptationalWimp' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdaptationalWimp' data-format='QWRhcHRhdGlvbmFsV2ltcA=='>Adaptational Wimp</a>: Played with. As both the director and Toriyama decided to make Super Saiyan Blue the primary form used by the heroes in the latter half of the movie per Toriyama's original outline, neither Goku nor Vegeta are outright stated to have access to the forms (Super Saiyan Blue Evolution, Ultra Instinct) or techniques (Super Saiyan Blue Kaioken) from the series that greatly exceed standard Blue in power.</li><li> <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdaptiveAbility' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdaptiveAbility' data-format='QWRhcHRpdmVBYmlsaXR5'>Adaptive Ability</a>: Along with his exceptional power, this is what makes Broly dangerous. Rather than being a brawler with almost unlimited energy like his original incarnation - though he still seems to have elements of that - Broly seems to learn abilities almost the second he sees them, from flash-stepping directly after seeing it once, to using God Bind on Goku <em>while Goku is doing it to him</em>. It also seems to affect his body as well, as each time he takes a few hits, he can quickly start to <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoSell' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NoSell' data-format='Tm9TZWxs'>No-Sell</a> attacks of the same amount of force a few seconds later, implying his body gets tougher against stronger opponents as time goes on.<ul ><li> This itself may be a nod to Saiyans in general, or at least gifted ones. Goku is recognized as a genius fighter for his ability to learn the basics of techniques almost the moment he sees them (he learned the Kamehameha, for instance, after only seeing Master Roshi use it once, albeit much weaker at first); Vegeta learned to read Ki after just one confrontation with earthlings, without any training despite no prior knowledge that it'd even existed; Future Trunks managed to learn the Evil Containment Wave within a few minutes just after seeing it done, if possibly with rage helping him out there. Broly, being a "mutant" Saiyan, likely takes this quality up a notch.</li></ul></li><li> <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdvertisedExtra' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AdvertisedExtra' data-format='QWR2ZXJ0aXNlZEV4dHJh'>Advertised Extra</a>:<ul ><li> Despite being among the first characters shown in magazines, promoted in posters and appearing in the trailers, both Beerus and Piccolo only have small roles in the film.</li><li> In a way, Golden Frieza.

Goku refers to Broly as probably being stronger than Beerus but does that hint of ambiguity mean Broly is ultimately weaker than Jiren? Official sources released before the movie do unambiguously state that Broly is the strongest person they've fought, but Japanese promotional material frequently contains information not adapted into the primary medium (and the statement is wonky since Goku and Vegeta have both sparred with Whis, who is clearly more powerful than Broly). In terms of performance, Jiren at his restrained base level does seem much more dominant over Goku and Vegeta as Blues than Broly does as a Super Saiyan (tanking their strongest attacks without moving and KO'ing them with mere glares or the <em>draft</em> of swinging his arm in their direction, while Broly at least flinches when they hit him and generates a ki attack against their's instead of face-tanking it), not to mention Golden Frieza (who went down in one shot to held-back Jiren but lasts a full hour against SS Broly), but neither are at their full power during this.

He grew up on a <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeathWorld' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeathWorld' data-format='RGVhdGhXb3JsZA=='>Death World</a> and was trained by his father so he knows how to fight, but has never faced an opponent one-on-one who could match him in raw power. As such despite being incredibly powerful, Vegeta and Goku handily keep him at bay individually. But the longer he fought the quicker he learned, and progressively unlocked even deeper power reserves, meaning he is quick to turn the tides against them. However, even with his Saiyan Power backing him up, Broly still lacks proper experience, meaning once Goku activates Super Saiyan Blue, he is able to effectively gain the upper hand due to being strong enough to fight him and skilled enough to counter anything Broly tries. And even when Broly finally transforms, due to his lack of skill, Goku and Vegeta despite being clearly no match for him can still hold him back for a few minutes as he is just throwing his superior power at them while they are mixing that power with their own experience. When GOGETA finally enters the field, due to having more than enough power to battle Broly and with the skill and experience of both Goku and Vegeta, even in his base form, he casually holds his own against Broly, and when they both start using transformations, be it in Super Saiyan or Super Saiyan Blue, Gogeta quickly dominates Broly, not necessarily by being much stronger (<a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WordofGod' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WordofGod' data-format='V29yZG9mR29k'>Wordof God</a> clarifies that had Broly been more skilled, the fight would have been significantly more difficult, if not even loseable, for Gogeta), but by being so much more skilled that he can easily maneuver through Broly's wild attacks without being hit and deliver strong hits that quickly rattles him down.</li><li> <a class='twikilink' href='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnstoppableRage' title='/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnstoppableRage' data-format='VW5zdG9wcGFibGVSYWdl'>Unstoppable Rage</a>: The hallmark that Broly's best known for, back in full force, and the primary reason he's even a "villain" of the feature.
