The differences in Broly's upbringing and fighting style between the two versions lead to different approaches to battle. While both versions of Broly are formidable, Dragon Ball Super's Broly emerges as a more powerful and versatile fighter.
Legendary Super Saiyan Broly popular among Dragon Ball fans, known for his impressive power and terrifying rage. Broly became so infamous that 25 years after his debut, he returned with a brand new movie and an official place in the official universe. However, Broly appeared in Dragon Ball Z and was introduced in Dragon Ball Super as two very different characters with different personalities and histories.
In the Dragon Ball Z movie, Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan, the main character is shown to be driven by rage as a nearly unstoppable force of nature. However, in Dragon Ball Super: Broly, although he is still capable of generating immense power, he is much more developed and complex. Both versions of the Legendary Super Saiyan are formidable and the power they can generate leads to a debate about who is stronger.
Broly's Power Evolution under Paragus
Broly's upbringing had a huge impact on his fighting style.
In Dragon Ball Z, Broly was tightly controlled by his father, Paragus, who used the crown to restrain Broly's overwhelming power. For many years, his power was restrained until he finally broke free after facing Goku, unleashing his destructive power. Due to his long-term suppression of his power, Broly's fighting style became fueled by rage and he relies heavily on brute force.
All of this changes in Dragon Ball Super: Broly, where he grows up on the planet Vampa, where He was forced to fend for himself in the harsh environment. and trained under Paragus. In this version, Broly was never forced to wear the restraining crown, but instead wore a shock collar that allowed him to use his powers as long as his father agreed. This upbringing gave Broly a more natural way to develop his latent abilities and turned him into an adaptable warrior.

Broly's Legendary Power and Its Consequences

Broly's rage made him a terrifying figure, striking fear into even the mightiest of warriors, including Vegeta. However, this almost pointless attack strategy making Broly more predictable and easier to outwit by more experienced warriors. Combined with his ego, Broly didn't see it coming when Goku delivered the final blow.
While Dragon Ball Super's Broly Has Better Control and More FlexibilityHe also has his own setbacks. When Frieza kills Paragus and blames it on a stray energy blast, Broly is overcome by rage and sadness, causing him to transform for the first time. Similar to his original version, Broly goes berserk, and although he's not yet a full Legendary Super Saiyan in this first scene, he's overcome by rage enough to give Goku and Vegeta a chance to escape and regroup.
However, before this transformation took place, Broly was able to hold his own against Vegeta in his base form, despite Vegeta being a seasoned warrior. As their battle continued, it became apparent that Broly's power was beginning to become overwhelming, which then prompted Vegeta to transform into a Super Saiyan to finish Broly off. Instead, after a few initial blows, Broly was quickly able to has enough power to keep up with Vegeta while still in base formA testament to Broly's impressive skills.

Who will win the battle?

While both have impressive transformations and are worthy of the title of Legendary Super Saiyan, it's clear that one of them is stronger than the other.

In the first Broly movie, Broly fought and held his own against several Super Saiyans, but DBS Broly was able to fight a Super Saiyan Vegeta before he could transform himself. When this version of Broly finally became the Legendary Super Saiyan, it appeared Super Saiyan Blue Gogeta to beat him.
Furthermore, Dragon Ball Super's Broly is still training with Goku and Vegeta, getting stronger by the day. In the latest chapter of the series, Broly fought Gohan in his Beast form, proving to be at least on par with, if not stronger than, Goku's mastered Ultra Instinct.
