Let’s settle this once and for all: Broly isn’t your average Saiyan. While Goku and Vegeta rely on flashy transformations like Super Saiyan Blue or Ultra Instinct to flex their power, Broly base form alone could give them a run for their Zeni. Seriously, how does a guy with no fancy hair color changes or divine training keep up with literal gods? Dragon Ball’s lore has answers and they’re wilder than a Great Ape rampage.
Broly Secret? He’s Basically a Saiyan Wildcard
Most Saiyans need to transform to unlock their full strength. Goku? Needs Super Saiyan. Vegeta? Super Saiyan God. But Broly? He’s built different. His base form taps into the raw, primal energy most Saiyans only access by turning into giant apes. Imagine having the power of a raging Great Ape without the fluffy tail that’s Broly for you.
Here’s the kicker: this power isn’t a blessing. It’s a curse. Broly instincts are so intense that he’s constantly battling himself to stay in control. Think of it like revving a car engine nonstop—it’s powerful, but it’ll blow up if you don’t ease off the gas.
Base Form:
- Broly’s base form channels Great Ape-level strength naturally.
- His raw power comes at a cost: zero emotional control.
- He’s a ticking time bomb of rage, even before going Super Saiyan.
Survival of the Fittest: How Broly Childhood Made Him a Monster
Broly didn’t grow up eating fancy Saiyan cuisine or training in gravity chambers. Nope he was dumped on Planet Vampa as a baby, a hellish wasteland where every day was a fight to survive. While Goku and Vegeta had mentors and rivals to hone their skills, Broly “training” involved wrestling alien predators and dodging starvation.
How Broly’s Childhood Made Him a Monster
This brutal upbringing turned him into a fighter driven purely by instinct. He never learned to hold back because holding back meant death. Even his own dad, Paragus, saw Broly’s power as a threat and slapped a shock collar on him instead of teaching him control. Talk about bad parenting.
Why This Matters:
- Survival instincts > Formal training for Broly.
- Paragus fear stunted Broly emotional growth.
- No restraint = Unstable power spikes mid-battle.
Broly Biggest Weakness? His Own Rage
Broly’s strength is insane, but his emotions are his Achilles’ heel. Remember his fight against Goku and Vegeta in Dragon Ball Super: Broly? The angrier he got, the stronger and more unhinged—he became. By the time he hit Super Saiyan, he was a tornado of destruction, but completely mindless.
Here’s the twist: Broly’s lack of control is what makes him dangerous. Most fighters sharpen their skills through discipline (looking at you, Whis trainees). Broly? He’s a storm in human form unpredictable, relentless, and nearly impossible to stop.
The Future: Broly Could Outshine EVERYONE (Yes, Even Gogeta)
Dragon Ball’s manga drops major hints about Broly’s potential. In the Super Hero arc epilogue, he’s training with Goku and Vegeta on Beerus’ planet. And guess what? He’s learning to control his rage. Let that sink in.
The Future: Broly Could Outshine EVERYONE
Right now, Broly’s base form rivals Super Saiyan God Goku. If he masters his emotions, he could tap into god-tier power without transformations. Imagine a calm, focused Broly with the strength of a Great Ape and the precision of Ultra Instinct. Gogeta might need to step aside.
What’s Next for Broly?
- Training with Goku/Vegeta = Emotional growth.
- Mastering instincts = Access to unstoppable power.
- Potential to surpass every Saiyan, including fusion forms.
Final Verdict: Broly Power Isn’t a Fluke It’s Survival
Broly’s strength isn’t just about genetics or plot armor. It’s a product of his brutal upbringing, unchecked instincts, and raw survival drive. While Goku and Vegeta chase new transformations, Broly’s base form is a reminder of what Saiyans truly are: warriors forged in chaos.
And let’s be real—once he tames his inner beast, the Dragon Ball power rankings are gonna need a serious update.
