Reasons For How Broly *Could* Be The Strongest Character In Z.

Post by theherodjl » Sun Sep 09, 2018 9:46 am

According to only Takao Koyama, Broly is undoubtedly the strongest character in the original DBZ run. That obviously sounds like him fanboying the heck out of his favorite movie character, but suppose there is some scenario/method in which Broly is the strongest character from the DBZ era? Something that at least could somewhat justify Koyama's belief on something that would otherwise be impossible if he hadn't said it? Here are some reasons why Broly, the strongest character :|, may have lost.

M8
Despite being stronger than the Z Senshi in just his ordinary SSJ form, Broly lost because...
- As a result of absorbing the power of three other Saiyans, Goku just barely tapped into some degree of God Ki/SSJG(isn't that just convenient???). Unfortunately, by having a much less conditioned body & only three pure hearts as Vegeta wasn't quite "pure" by that point, Goku had to end it as quickly as possible since it would wear off in less than a minute, and his body could only hold it for one attack thus the "Toei punch".
- The power of three Saiyans & one Namek infused some of their greatest potential into Goku; Ultimate Gohan, Super Trunks, Rageta, and Super Namek Piccolo(isn't that even more convenient???) thus Goku managed to summon up a plethora of potential powers to pwn Broly. It was temporary though since it was borrowed energy.
- Broly's fluctuating Ki was causing his body to become unstable in various parts of his body, mostly in the center of his mass, and Goku's punch into Broly's stomach just happened to strike him the weakest point of integrity on his body causing a pressurized burst of Ki to explode from within Broly.
- Broly developed Delayed Onset Ki Disorder form as a result of constantly building up Ki, and stressing his body to its limit.
- Seeing Goku seethe with rage & power brought back traumatic memories in Broly, and he briefly dropped his power long enough for Goku to take advantage of.
- Broly simply became insane from being in LSSJ for so long, and lost control of his power completely.

M10
Broly was still stronger than everyone as a SSJ, but still lost because...
- The God Ki that Goku possibly obtained had a negative effect on Broly's body & power, and made him overall weaker.
- Broly had lost an immense amount of power from when Goku pierced his belly, and his body only healed the injury instead of restoring his power completely.
- Broly still had Delayed Onset Ki Disorder from the previous battle, and stopped him from being able to fuel his attack against the Family Kamehameha.
- Seeing Goku again may have brought back another traumatic episode for Broly, and he dropped his power yet again.
- Broly became insane again, and just forgot how to use his Ki properly.

M11
Even though he was imperfectly cloned, Broly still had the advantage until...
- The cloning process may have simply had its limitations in how long Broly could hold his full power.
- The clone of Broly may have developed Onset Ki Disorder.
- The negative effects that the God KI had may have been with Broly on a genetic level.
- Any instance of Broly is just insane as usual.
- Apparently, Broly was also cloned together with the Wicked Witch of the East.

Not a compelling list of reasons, but I bet Koyama approves of at least one of these...or all of them.

The reason why Broly was the strongest Pre-Battle of Gods character in the franchise is because of his feats. He wiped out an entire Quadrant of of the living universe in just his Restrained SSJ form (his LSSJ form should be at least 100x on top of that, since he is stronger than SSJ2 Gohan in M10) in less than 30 years. That by powerscaling makes him stronger than even GT SSJ4 Gogeta. So Koyama saying Broly was the strongest kinda makes sense lol.
When someone tells you, "Don't present your opinion as fact," what they're actually saying is, "Don't present your opinion with any conviction. Because I don't like your opinion, and I want to be able to dismiss it as easily as possible." Don't fall for it.

Wasn't it stated in some promotional material that Janemba is the strongest movie villain?

I suppose, but we need reasons for why Broly lost in his movies. If Broly is actually stronger than SSJ4 Gogeta(lulz) then there has to be a good reason(more lulz) for why Broly could lose to Goku alone in one movie, Gohan & Goten in another, and then by...water(super lulz).

Going by an old Toei film website, yes. However, Takao Koyama felt obliged to drop his personal opinion about who the strongest movie character was afterwards.

I believe that was the BOG film version of Beerus who is way, way weaker than DBS Beerus. Broly being stronger than BOG Beerus though is up for debate since technically, BOG & ROF are part of DBZ...but not apart of the original Z run that Koyama was referring to.
