Released during the peak of the Dragon Ball Z film era, Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan is the 8th Z movie. Unlike many villains who have grand schemes (conquering the universe, immortality, androids), Broly is a radical departure: a primal force of nature with a personal grudge. Directed by Shigeyasu Yamauchi, the film is often cited by fans as the best of the Z movies, but a closer look reveals a fascinating mix of brilliant action, shallow plotting, and unintentionally hilarious character motivation.
Released in 1993, Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan is widely considered the pinnacle of the Dragon Ball Z animated films. Unlike many other DBZ movies which feature generic villains, this film introduced a character with deep ties to Saiyan lore and a terrifying power level that pushed the Z-Fighters to their absolute limits.
Paragus is a tragic villain. He wants to build an empire for his son but fears his son’s power. He represents the old Saiyan way: cunning, cruel, and willing to enslave others. Ironically, his attempt to control Broly leads to his own demise (Broly crushes his escape pod). dragon ball z broly o lendario super saiyajin
In 2018, Dragon Ball Super introduced a canon version of Broly. Here is how the Legendary Super Saiyan (Z) differs from the Broly (Super) version:
| Feature | DBZ Broly (This Movie) | DBS Broly (Canon) | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Motivation | Pure insanity; hates Goku specifically for crying as a baby. | Lacks formal education; fights to protect/avenge his father; manipulated by Frieza. | | Personality | Sadistic, talks in broken sentences, obsessed with destruction. | Innocent, docile, fights on instinct rather than malice. | | Design | Retains the golden hair and green aura "Legendary" form. | Gains "Super Saiyan Full Power" with white eyes and immense bulk. | | Canon Status | Non-Canon (Toei Animation original creation). | Canon (Designed by Akira Toriyama). | Overview Released during the peak of the Dragon
Por muitos anos, Broly foi um personagem "não-canônico" (fillers dos filmes). No entanto, o sucesso estrondoso do personagem forçou Akira Toriyama a trazer sua essência para a história oficial em 2018, com o filme Dragon Ball Super: Broly.
A grande diferença:
Apesar das diferenças, o Broly original de 1993 é o que cunhou o termo "Lendário Super Saiyajin" no imaginário popular. Hoje, a palavra "Broly" é sinônimo de força bruta inigualável.
Para derrotar Broly, Goku precisa absorver a energia de todos os outros guerreiros (Piccolo, Gohan, Trunks e até Vegeta, que reluta em dar poder ao "inferior" Kakarotto). Com um soco carregado com a energia de quatro Super Saiyajins, Goku acerta o ponto fraco de Broly: o ferimento deixado por Paragus (um dispositivo de controle) no abdômen de Broly.

Crítica dos fãs: Muitos consideram essa derrota um deus ex machina. Até aquele momento, Broly era invencível. Ele só perdeu porque o roteiro precisava que Goku vencesse.
