How did Broly know Kakarrot's name in the first place?

Post by Deathbringer » Mon Jul 16, 2018 3:54 pm

Broly is said to have been traumatised by the sound of Goku crying as a baby, and he specifically has an aversion to "Kakarrot" but how did he even know the name of the baby which was in the crib next to him? Did Paragus learn it for whatever reason and tell him about it? I know that the crying baby plot complaint has been drilled into the ground at this point but I was thinking about Broly today and realised this.

Vegeta blurted out Goku's Saiyan name within earshot of Broly, so that might be when he found out.
There's a distinct lack of evidence of him knowing it from any other source.

I'm pretty sure there's a scene in one of the Bardock specials where two Saiyans are talking about Kakarot and Broly and how Kakarot has a lot of spirit because of his crying

So apparently Broly could understand English as an infant?

Broly was a talented infant with a pl of 10000 and the ability to fly without being taught how. Thats a good point though it's the best in Universe way to explain that without considering the possibility that his father could have talked about Goku which is doubtful yet possible.

A baby can't understand a single word, except if you are Jesus. Broly was strong for sure, but he was still a baby just like Kewkewrot. He wasn't more intelligent or w/e. The only time Broly could hear Goku's Saiyan name was when Vegeta came back from planet Todokama, Goku was sitting on a hallway when Vegeta, Paragus and Broly pass by Goku and then Goku speaks to Vegeta, and Vegeta calls him "Kakarotto" while Broly was walking behind them (in the original version of the movie). And that's how Broly heard Goku's Saiyan name.

Thanks but what I mean more specifically is how did Broly know that the baby crying next to him was Kakarrot, in the actual movie baby Broly doesn't even have his eyes open while Kakarrot is crying next to him.

He might have been able to recognize his voice...

Yes, because there is never the implication that Broly could remember Kakarot's name while he was a newborn. We don't even know if Broly was hearing the two nurses talking, it could be just there for us, spectators.
