Broly is a Saiyan from Universe 7 in Dragon Ball and one of the most powerful that ever existed. Born on the planet Vegeta, Broly was exiled because he had too much power from the moment he was born. He spent most of his life on the planet Vampa and grew stronger there. As a legendary Super Saiyan, Broly belongs to the group of warriors who are born once every millennium.
As seen in Dragon Ball Super: BrolyBroly possesses enormous power that knows no limits. Despite his devastating strength, Broly is a renowned pacifist. And yet, his ability to grow through battles is incredible, and that’s why he’s one of the most formidable fighters in the series. However, some Dragon Ball the characters could give him a hard time.
Updated December 19, 2024 by Kennedy King: More than two decades after his debut, Broly the legendary Super Saiyan remains one of the most recognizable characters in the Dragon Ball franchise. As a result, this list has been updated to include even more characters from Akira Toriyama’s flagship series.
Characters who can defeat Broly
Gogeta is much more capable than Goku and Vegeta
Gogeta is one of the strongest characters in Dragon Ballcreated by the fusion of Goku and Vegeta. Being a Metamoran fusion, it goes without saying that Gogeta is far more capable than Goku and Vegeta. After all, he is the combination of two of the most powerful characters in anime history.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Release Date “Leak” Fools Some, Impresses Most
Some Dragon Ball fans eager for news about the new Budokai Tenkaichi game have fallen into the trap of a false release date for the next Sparking! Zero.
In the Broly movie, Dragon Ball Super: BrolyGogeta was shown fighting Broly. It quickly became apparent that there was a huge power difference between the two. Broly, while strong and durable, was absolutely no match for Gogeta Blue. In a long battle, Broly would run out of steam long before this particular opponent.
Vegito might actually be stronger than Gogeta
Vegito is another fusion of Goku and Vegeta, but this one uses the Potara Earrings. This means that Vegito is as strong as Gogeta, if not stronger. He was able to fight and defeat Fused Zamasu in combat, which shows how powerful he is.
Since Gogeta would be able to handle Broly without much trouble, it can easily be assumed that the same would be true for Vegito. Fans haven’t seen Vegito and Broly fight, but Vegito likely has the upper hand in any duel that might arise between these two powerhouses.
Beerus is a literal god of destruction
Beerus is the God of Destruction of Universe 7, which is impressive in itself. Plus, he has mind-blowing powers like the Judgment of Beerus. He was able to defeat Goku in his Super Saiyan God form without even using his true powers, which shows how scary Beerus truly is.

New Super Dragon Ball Heroes Opening Delivers Dragon Ball GT Nostalgia
The new opening of the Super Dragon Ball Heroes anime web series evokes a nostalgic vibe of Dragon Ball GT with Super Saiyan 4 Goku and more.
Although Broly is generally considered stronger than Beerus, there is no denying that Beerus has additional powers up his sleeve, like Hakai. If that’s not compelling enough, Beerus’ status as the God of Destruction ultimately gives him the advantage over almost everyone, including Broly.
Jiren could overwhelm Goku’s powerful new form
One of the members of the Pride Troopers, Jiren hails from Universe 11. He rose to prominence as one of the strongest in the series during the Tournament of Power. Jiren’s strength surpassed even that of the Gods of Destruction, and he could also match Goku’s Ultra Instinct in a fight.
Since then, Jiren has probably gotten stronger and has a lot more power to dispatch Broly. Broly is undoubtedly powerful, but even he won’t be able to stand up to someone who has managed to defeat the Gods as well as Goku’s powerful new form.
What sometimes serves as an asset when all else fails
Whis is an angel who serves as a servant of Beerus, the God of Destruction of Universe 7. He is known to be even stronger than Beerus and his skills know no bounds, as Whis sometimes serves as an asset when all the rest fails. Whis has also demonstrated his abilities by fighting and defeating Goku and Vegeta in the past.
Whis’ use of Autonomous Ultra Instinct is just one of his most powerful abilities, so much so that even Beerus learned this technique from him. Additionally, Whis can manipulate time for short durations, making him even stronger. For him, defeating Broly in a fight shouldn’t be too much of a problem.
Grand Zeno could erase Broly from existence
For the most part, the deities represented in the Dragon Ball The franchise avoids combat, preferring to preside over the universe with a more indirect approach. However, this does not mean that these beings are incapable of defending themselves; in fact, the creator of Dragon Ball the universe – Grand Zeno – could literally erase every other being from existence.
Given Broly’s status as a mortal, it stands to reason that even his might would stand no chance against Great Zeno’s reality-altering powers. If the two ever engaged in combat, the volatile Saiyan would be lucky to survive more than a few moments.
Captain Ginyu still has a chance thanks to his trademark technique
Almost all the characters in Dragon Ball Z is significantly weaker than the version of Broly that appears in Dragon Ball Superand that includes Frieza’s most trusted soldiers, the Ginyu Force. However, while the Ginyu Force is undoubtedly out of its league when it comes to fighting Broly, one of its members might just be able to accomplish the near-impossible feat: Captain Ginyu.
Captain Ginyu’s body-switching technique was never shown to have any notable restrictions, making it entirely possible that the boisterous character could commandeer Broly’s body for his own. To make matters worse for Broly, the Saiyan’s stupid nature also means that he would likely be an easy target for the mind games that Ginyu plays with his opponents.
Characters Broly Can Defeat
Goku’s chances against Broly are still relatively low
Goku is a Saiyan from Universe 7 who possesses tremendous combat abilities. There seems to be no limit to Goku’s strength. During the Tournament of Power, Goku managed to gain the powers of Ultra Instinct, and during the Moro arc, he learned to use the Ultra Instinct sign at will.

What is Gohan’s final form actually called in Dragon Ball Z?
Gohan’s Dragon Ball Z final form has had many names over the years, but which one is correct?
As strong as he is, Goku’s chances of defeating Broly are still very low. Fans believe that Broly is superior to him in terms of combat, which is actually a good thing because it gives Goku a reason to continue fighting to reach his peak form. That said, there will come a time when Goku will surpass Broly.
Vegeta will most certainly end up getting crushed
Vegeta is the prince of the Saiyans of Universe 7 and one of the strongest characters in the series. He is strong enough to take on Goku in a fight, although the latter seems just strong enough to keep Vegeta in permanent second place. Then again, Vegeta managed to put up a decent fight against Jiren in the Tournament of Power.
He even defeated Toppo, a God of Destruction candidate. Unfortunately, Vegeta’s level is set below Broly’s, and no matter how strong Vegeta is right now, he will eventually get crushed. That said, fans are wondering if Ultra Ego Vegeta could turn the tide of battle in his favor, albeit temporarily.
Hit’s time skip ability can probably be overcome by Broly
Universe 6’s best assassin, Hit is a powerful fighter who has fought against Goku and Vegeta several times. Just like them, he is capable of becoming stronger and stronger as the battle progresses. Additionally, Hit’s ability allows him to skip time and kill his enemies easily.
However, the chances of this technique working on Broly are quite low. Previously, Goku and Jiren demonstrated the ability to break through Hit’s special technique. Since Broly is obviously stronger than Goku, there is no reason to doubt that Broly cannot overcome the iconic Time-Skip.
Toppo is inferior to Goku and Vegeta
Toppo is also a member of the Pride Troopers, just like Jiren. He is powerful enough to be recommended for the position of God of Destruction, meaning he is a worthy opponent for Broly. However, just because he’s called a God of Destruction doesn’t mean he’s stronger than Broly.

10 Best Twists in Dragon Ball Super, Ranked
Dragon Ball Super is filled with breathtaking twists and turns like Vegeta’s Ultra Ego transformation and Gohan’s new form.
Toppo definitely proved inferior to Goku and Vegeta during the Tournament of Power, and even Goku or Vegeta wouldn’t stand a chance against Broly. In other words, Broly should be several times stronger than him. For now, it is impossible for Broly to lose to Toppo.
Krillin may be strong, but he’s still an ordinary human
Krillin is a human from Earth and one of the characters fighting to protect the planet from all incoming threats. As a human, Krillin is known to be exceptionally powerful, but he has always wanted to live a quiet life and doesn’t really like engaging in unnecessary battles.
Despite his unquestionable strength and fearsome abilities, Krillin doesn’t stand a chance compared to someone like Broly. For starters, Krillin is a human while Broly is a Saiyan – and an exceptionally talented Saiyan, at that. For Broly, defeating Krillin should be a breeze.
Gohan’s beast transformation is too brutal to withstand Broly’s strength
THE Dragon Ball Super the anime has been dormant for several years, and since Broly’s debut Dragon Ball Super: Brolyonly one canon film debuted: Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes. Luckily for the legendary Super Saiyan, this film saw the start of a transformation that could actually challenge Broly for his place at the top of the series’ power rankings: Gohan Beast.
Gohan Beast is a unique transformation that Whis believes does not rely on Gohan’s Saiyan genetics or divine powers, making it one of the few transformations in the series as unique as Gohan’s Berserker state. Broly. Unfortunately for Gohan, although the gap between him and Broly is small, his inexperience with the Gohan Beast transformation means he would likely fail in a battle against his fellow Saiyan.
The appearance of Goku Black would drive Broly crazy
Captain Ginyu’s efforts to steal Goku’s body are commendable, but in reality, his accomplishments are far less impressive than those of another body snatcher: Zamasu. The sinister Kai is the antagonist of the Goku Black arc, during which he commandeers Goku’s body for his own use. However, even if Goku Black and his transformation into Super Saiyan Rosé, they would probably be useless against Broly.
If there’s one person in the role that drives Broly to pure rage, it’s Goku. This vendetta is deeply rooted in the legendary Super Saiyan, so if he saw Goku Black – who looks like Dragon Ballthe protagonist of – then he would probably go into full berserker mode. Considering the fact that Goku Black struggled to fight Vegeta and Goku one-on-one, there’s virtually no doubt that he would be demolished by an angry Broly.
