Editing Broly (Dragon Ball Z) (section)

==Trivia==

*Broly's name is a pun on the vegetable broccoli, which is even referenced in ''Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan'' when a drunk Master Roshi calls him ''"Broccoli"''.
**This technically makes him the second Saiyan whose name is a pun on "broccoli", after Shorty (who in the Japanese version was named "Brocco").

*In the Other World Saga, an alternate-colored Broly appears in the crowd at the Other World Tournament.
*In the Brazilian Portuguese dub, [[Master Roshi]] mentions Broly during the Universe Survival Saga.
*In ''Dragon Ball Z: Attack of the Saiyans'', it is shown that Broly is from a separate dimension to the main one.
*Despite being potentially mentioned at the conclusion of Bio-Broly that he is a resident of Hell, Broly does not make an appearance in ''Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn'' or the [[Super 17]] Saga of ''Dragon Ball GT'', when the residents of Hell make their escape to Earth. He does, however, escape from Hell a few times in ''Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai'' and ''Dragon Ball Heroes''.
*Broly and [[Cooler]] are the only movie villains to appear in more than one ''Dragon Ball Z'' film as the main villain.
*Besides flashbacks of his infancy, Broly is not seen with a tail despite Akira Toriyama's character design sheets depicting him as an adult with it, with Toriyama's notes leaving it ambiguous as to whether or not he retained it in adulthood due to him saying it's "alright whether or not he has a tail." However, as most adult Saiyans wrap their tails in a belt fashion, Broly may have done so and is covered by his sash. In ''Dragon Ball Xenoverse's'' "Legendary Super Saiyan Saga", Bardock destroyed Vegeta's Power Ball after transforming with it himself to prevent Broly from doing the same, a feat he performs in ''Dragon Ball Heroes'', showing that Broly indeed retained his tail.
*In ''Xenoverse'', Broly appears in Toki Toki City for a mission the Future Warrior can participate in. If the Warrior is a Majin, he'll remark how they look cute.
* Interestingly, in ''Xenoverse 2'', [[Beerus]] is shown to be aware of who Broly is if the [[Future Warrior]] talks to Beerus in Conton City while training under Broly. Beerus will state he is surprised that Broly would be willing to train anyone given his personality.
*Oddly, despite Broly's hatred of Goku being immense enough that, at least by the time of ''Second Coming'', he mistook Goten for Goku just from a similar physical appearance, he does not seem to mistake Turles for Goku in ''Xenoverse 2''. However, it is implied that Broly mistook Goten for his father due to his similar scent, crying, and appearance combined with Broly's fragile mental state as he notes similarities in the scents of Goku's close relatives such as his eldest son, father, and brother in ''Xenoverse 2'' (the latter to a much lesser extent, as unlike with Gohan and Bardock, he ended up confused by Raditz possessing Kakarot's scent due to his lacking much resemblance to him at all). He also mistakes the Masked Saiyan for Goku presumably due to his similar appearance, scent, and the mask that obscures Bardock's scarred face. He also recognizes [[Goku (Dragon Ball GT)|GT Goku]] despite him being reduced to a child. Broly even says that Kakarot won't escape him by shrinking away and hiding from him, which GT Goku states sounds pretty hilarious to him.
*Broly is similar to the previous film antagonist [[Android 13]], both have a hatred for Goku and seek to eliminate him above all others, they both transform into a huge muscular pupil-less form which proves near impossible for the other Z Fighters to put a dent in until Goku is supplied with energy and defeats them with one punch in the gut. The only notable difference is that Broly's hatred of Goku was personal, while Android 13 only hated Goku due to being programmed by [[Dr. Gero]] to have hatred of him post-humously. The other difference is how Android 13 died from Goku's punch while Broly lived from it.
*Broly is mentioned in the description on [[Kale]]'s artwork, noting that she looks just like "that legendary Saiyan." Broly's popularity was the reason she was created. 
** The ''Extra Pack 3'' DLC from ''Xenoverse 2'', lampshades their similarities in ''New Parallel Quest'': "''Catch Kefla If You Can'' as Kale's Potara fusion [[Kefla]] notes there is something familiar about him when she encounters him.
**Beat comments in ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission'' that Broly and Kale share similar ''ki''.
*Due to his actions in ''World Mission'', the SDBH game world Broly is responsible for [[Beat (Dragon Ball Heroes)|Beat]] achieving his natural Super Saiyan form due to rage he felt over the perceived "death" of [[Note (Dragon Ball Heroes)|Note]].
*Broly wearing a crown that forces him to suppress his unfathomable power during the first movie was similar to [[Sun Wukong]], who when imprisoned wore a crown that causes him agony whenever Tripitaka chants the mantra of obedience. Ironically, his sworn nemesis Goku also shares the same character origins. 
**In a further level of irony, one of the alternate character arcs had Broly and Paragus, after conquering the Earth, proceeding to protect it from various threats, including [[Cell]] and [[Majin Buu]], which was similar to how Goku was originally slated to conquer Earth, only to end up thanks to his amnesia proceeding to protect it from various villainous forces such as the Red Ribbon Army and the Demon Clan.
*In some versions of the remastered release of his first appearance, Broly's voice was increased in pitch. However, for some unknown reason, his voice remained unaltered in the remastered version of his second appearance.
**In addition, his voice was depicted differently between the Japanese and English versions. The former had him sounding somewhat younger as well as closer to a teenager, while the latter had him sounding significantly older.
*Broly is five years younger than his ''Dragon Ball Super'' counterpart as Broly (DBS) was born in Age 732 while Broly (DBZ) was born in Age 737.
*Broly is among the tallest known Saiyan in the Dragon Ball franchise, towering at 231 cm (7’7”) - 274 (9’0”).
*According to Shigeyasu Yamauchi, Broly has a lonely existence that stemmed from his strength in contrast to Goku and Vegeta who believed in fighting for something or someone, as part of a theme on how power alone ultimately is nothing compared to love, family, and connections. Broly has the realization that strength is not only physical upon his defeat, to the extent that he even proceeded to question what his true role in existence was. Elements of this characterization may have been included in ''Xenoverse'' due to his interactions with [[Turles]], namely their differing philosophies regarding battle.
