Dragon Ball SuperThe ongoing manga came to a shocking halt after chapter 103, “A Legacy to the Future”, which marked the end of the superhero saga. Dragon Ball SuperThe manga was on hiatus for eight months following the untimely death of Alkira Toriyama and audiences are still extremely excited about its possible return. We don’t really know what Dragon Ball SuperThe next story arc will cover this, but it’s safe to assume that the looming threat of Black Frieza will play a major role. In addition, Dragon Ball Super has recently made its heroes stronger than ever with a host of new transformations, like Perfected Ultra Instinct Goku, Ultra Ego Vegeta, Gohan Beast, and Orange Piccolo.
Broly, the legendary Super Saiyan, also became an official cast member, and he proved himself to be gifted when it comes to meditation, training, and pushing his limits. It’s exciting to consider Broly’s role in the future Dragon Ball Super stories and how he will help Goku and Vegeta against new threats. However, there are also many Dragon Ball Super characters who would make exceptional sparring partners for Broly.

10 Jiren is the greatest warrior in Universe 11 and the strongest competitor in the Tournament of Power
Anime debut: Dragon Ball Super, episode 85, “Universes spring into action – each with their own motivations”; Manga Debut: Dragon Ball Super, Chapter 30, “The Man Called Jiren”
Dragon Ball SuperThe Tournament of Power features literally dozens of powerful adversaries from across the multiverse, but none leave as significant an impression as Universe 11’s Jiren. Jiren is a Pride Trooper and Universe 7’s greatest competition is confronted during the Tournament of Power. Jiren’s strength is so immense that it inspires Goku to tap into the Ultra Instinct power for the first time. It will ultimately take the combined efforts of Goku, Golden Frieza, and Android 17 – with earlier help from Vegeta – to take down this intimidating powerhouse.
Jiren and Broly have a lot in common and it would be really interesting to see how these two characters interact. Jiren’s Super Full Power state appears to be quite comparable to that of the legendary Super Saiyan Broly. They are both incredible fighters who have no problem letting their power get the best of them. Fans were eager to see a rematch between Goku and Jiren, but a fight between Jiren and Broly would be even more exciting.
9 Kale Vs. Broly would pit two legendary Super Saiyans against each other
Anime Debut: Dragon Ball Super, Episode 89, “A Mysterious Beauty Appears!” The enigma of the Tien Shin style dojo? » ; Manga Debut: Dragon Ball Super, Chapter 32, “The Super Warriors Assemble! Part 2”
Dragon Ball SuperThe production team of, during the events of the Tournament of Power, had no idea that the anime would eventually canonize Broly and make him a character in his own right. As a result, Kale was created to be Dragon Ball SuperBroly’s answer and a new approach to the legendary concept of the Super Saiyan, although from Universe 6. Kale is a fascinating character in the sense that she is rather gentle and reserved in her base state, which makes her explosive transformation and berserk an enraged creature. A legendary Super Saiyan all the more effective.
Now that Broly has entered the mix, it would be a rewarding experience to lock these two legendary Super Saiyans in combat against each other. Broly would probably have the advantage here, but each of them could learn a lot from facing a mirror version of themselves. Broly and Kale could even train together to better understand their unique transformations and figure out how to push them to even greater heights. The prospect of two legendary Super Saiyans is just too exciting to pass up.

The next Dragon Ball Super saga must make Broly the star
Broly has become one of the most interesting characters in Dragon Ball Super and all signs point to him being pivotal in the series’ next story arc.
8 Top can access God of Destruction level strength for an epic showdown against Broly
Anime Debut: Dragon Ball Super, Episode 78, “Even the Gods of the Universe Are Appalled?!” The tournament of power to lose and perish”; Manga debut: Dragon Ball Super, Chapter 28, “The Gods of Destruction of the 12 Universes”
Universe 11’s Jiren quickly steals the show during Dragon Ball Super‘s Tournament of Power, which often means his Pride Trooper partner, Top, gets lost in the mix. Top was a candidate for God of Destruction, meaning he is capable of switching to Destroyer form and delivering an extra level of chaos to his opponents. Destroyer Form Top wailed at both Golden Frieza and Super Saiyan Blue Evolved Vegeta before the Saiyan finally eliminated this threat. Destroyer Form Top and Legendary Super Saiyan Broly would be a real battle of brutes that would result in endless destruction.
Broly himself seems like a suitable candidate for the God of Destruction, and he would likely respect the power that Top brings to the battlefield. Few fighters channel the same level of intensity as Top and Broly, meaning a battle between these two would be a deeply cathartic experience. Broly also deserves to experience the wonders of the multiverse and see what else he can face.
7 Black Frieza put in a decade of work to become Universe 7’s ultimate antagonist
Anime Debut: N/A; Manga Debut: Dragon Ball Super, Chapter 87, “The Strongest in the Universe Appears”
Ultra Instinct Goku, Ultra Ego Vegeta, and Full Power Granolah can’t catch a break against Heeter Force’s gas, only for Frieza to suddenly appear and take out this powerful threat with a single punch. Frieza reached unprecedented levels of power after spending a decade of time in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and leaving with his new Black Frieza transformation. Black Frieza set out to take over the multiverse, but he hasn’t been seen since the end of the Granolah the Survivor saga.
It seems pretty clear that Black Frieza will become Dragon Ball SuperThe next major antagonist and perhaps even the final villain of the manga. It would be a real shock if Broly wasn’t involved in this fight, especially since the two titans were trading blows. Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Frieza isn’t one to forgive and forget, so he probably has some pent-up hostility towards Broly that he’ll be eager to express with his mortal form Black Frieza.
6 Orange Piccolo is a totemic transformation that needs further testing
Anime debut: Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes; Manga Debut: Dragon Ball Super, Chapter 95, “The Ultimate Teacher and Student”
Dragon Ball fans were delighted when Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes not only celebrated Gohan and Piccolo, but rewarded them both with new transformations, Gohan Beast and Orange Piccolo. Broly discovers Gohan Beast’s incredible power in Dragon Ball Super Chapter 103, “A Legacy to the Future.” Broly tests his strength against everyone Dragon Ball SuperThe best Saiyans of – Gohan, Goku and Vegeta. However, Orange Piccolo remains a deadly warrior who deserves a bigger runway to showcase his strength. Orange Piccolo plays a fundamental role in the destruction of Cell Max.
It is unclear how his significant power increase ranks against the strength of Ultra Instinct or Ultra Ego. The same goes for how Orange Piccolo would compare to Broly’s newly awakened power. Broly may trump Orange Piccolo in terms of strength alone, but Orange Piccolo’s malleability and regenerative powers, not to mention his super giant form, would likely cause difficulty for the legendary Super Saiyan. A merciless fight between Orange Piccolo and Broly would immediately become a historic event Dragon Ball classic.

Broly, the legendary Super Saiyan from Dragon Ball, has been involved in unforgettable battles that embody true Saiyan strength.
5 Gamma 1 is a cutting-edge Android with endless potential
Anime debut: Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes; Manga Debut: Dragon Ball Super, Chapter 92, “New Androids”
Evil androids have been a constant concern throughout Dragon Ballbut the revival of the Red Ribbon Army in Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes prompts the creation of new cutting-edge machines, Gamma 1 and Gamma 2. The Gamma duo is the culmination of Dr. Hedo’s extensive Android experimentation. They are strong enough to defeat Piccolo before he unlocks his Orange transformation, and they become important players in the heroes’ war against Cell Max.
Gamma 2 does not survive this encounter, but Gamma 1 and Dr. Hedo are still there, and they even align themselves with Bulma and Capsule Corp. A battle against an Android would be a welcome change of pace for Broly, especially one who has endless energy and a courageous disposition, like Gamma 1. Dragon Ball Super held back on Gamma 1, but he’s sure to play a major role in the upcoming Dragon Ball Super manga stories.
4 Tien is a heroic human who continually reaches new heights
Anime debut: Dragon Ball, episode 82, “InoShikaCho’s Unleashed”; Manga Debut: Dragon Ball, Chapter 113, “Return to the Tournament”
Dragon Ball has become so obsessed with Saiyans and power-enhancing transformations that it’s sometimes easy to forget that there was a time in the original Dragon Ball when Tien was Goku’s rival and slightly stronger than him. Tien faces difficulties when he is wiped out by Nappa during Dragon Ball ZThis is the Saiyan saga. He is absent during the following Frieza Saga, but he provides vital support against Semi-Perfect Cell and is even a potential fusion partner for Goku during his battle against Super Buu. Dragon Ball Super proves that Tien hasn’t let his martial arts skills falter. He created his own dojo and developed powerful enhancements for some of his most powerful techniques, like the Neo Tri-Beam.
Tien, despite these impressive achievements, is still often underestimated. Broly would surely dominate Tien, but it would be a beneficial exercise for both parties. Broly could learn a lot from Tien’s focus and discipline, while Tien would no doubt be inspired by Broly’s raw strength. Broly lacks classical training, but he makes up for it with his raw Saiyan rage. Tien deserves the opportunity to prove himself against one of Dragon Ballthe biggest hitters.
3 Gotenks is a fused Saiyan fighter who has long awaited redemption
Anime debut: Dragon Ball Z, episode 251, “Gotenks is Born”; Manga debut: Dragon Ball Z, Chapter 286 (Dragon Ball Chapter 480), “The fusion succeeds…?!”
The Metamoran fusion of Goten and Trunks, Gotenks, is presented as an incredible power and one of Earth’s greatest resources against Buu. To this day, Gotenks is still one of only two characters that can canonically reach Super Saiyan 3 strength. Dragon Ball Super has denigrated Gotenks to the status of a gag character, and it’s been a long time since Goten and Trunks even managed to merge flawlessly. Gotenks is actually present during the Saiyan melee that takes place in the final chapter of Dragon Ball Superfrom Super Hero Saga, but he doesn’t face Broly.
Broly has merged Saiyan experience, and he’s probably still traumatized from his near-death encounter against Gogeta. A serious fight between Broly and Gotenks could help Goten and Trunks regain their fighting spirit and potentially even harness a new transformation. It would also be just plain satisfying to see someone as serious and aggressive as Broly have to deal with Gotenks’ trolling techniques, like the Continuous Die Die Missile’s Super Ghost Kamikaze attack.

Every Dragon Ball Movie Starring Broly, Ranked
Broly, the legendary Super Saiyan, has been the subject of several Dragon Ball films, some of which are much better than others.
2 Master of Ultra Instinct, Roshi, might manage to give Broly a run for his money
Anime debut: Dragon Ball, episode 3, “Roshi’s Nimbus Cloud”; Manga: Dragon Ball, Chapter 3, “Sea Apes”
Master Roshi has been a prolific martial artist since the beginning. Dragon Ball. Roshi’s role was reduced to a supporting player role and a source of lewd comic relief in Dragon Ball Zbut Dragon Ball Super puts him back in the spotlight and proves he’s still one of the most impressive fighters on Earth. Rosh gives an impressive performance supporting Universe 7 in the Tournament of Power, but he also temporarily demonstrates traces of Ultra Instinct. Dragon Ball SuperThe manga further developed Roshi’s Ultra Instinct skills and emphasized that this transformation was not just a one-time event.
Roshi can recreate this experience under the right circumstances, such as when he blindfolds himself against Miza, Iwaza, and Kikaza of the Galactic Bandit Brigade. A battle between Broly and a human may seem destined to result in Broly’s overwhelming victory, but Roshi is a unique situation. It would be extremely rewarding to see the burly 100% MAX POWER Roshi take on Broly and periodically tap into the Ultra Instinct force. Broly could even benefit from training under Master Roshi and acquire some of the specialties of martial artists. At the very least, it would be extremely fun to see Broly deliver milk.
1 Good Buu’s unpredictable magic and resilience would make for an enlightening altercation
Anime debut: Dragon Ball Z, episode 254, “The Evil of Men”; Manga debut: Dragon Ball Z, Chapter 290 (Dragon Ball Chapter 484), “The Creature of Wrath”
Dragon Ball Super struggled with what to do with Good Buu after the heroes’ reluctant decision to keep him after Kid Buu’s destruction. Dragon Ball Super set Buu up for success on multiple occasions, only to back out at the last minute and prevent him from participating in both the Tournament of Destroyers and the Tournament of Power. Buu is extremely powerful and boasts a resilient and malleable body with incredible regenerative abilities. These advantages are likely what has kept Buu out of the spotlight. Dragon Ball Super because he is often a character who is too strong for his own good.
That being said, Broly – especially in his legendary Super Saiyan state – actually has a power level that would give Buu pause and stop him in his tracks. There are some really fun possibilities when it comes to an all-out battle between Broly and Buu. Broly would no doubt be stunned by Buu’s unconventional fighting style, which would likely push him to fight even harder. It’s even possible that Grand Supreme Kai will temporarily take control of Buu’s body – as he did during the fight against Moro – in order to cause an even greater level of pain. Broly might never fully recover from his embarrassment if Buu turned him into a giant cookie or candy.
With Majin Buu’s defeat six months prior, peace returns to Earth, where Son Goku (now a radish farmer) and his friends now lead peaceful lives.
