Summary

Introduction

The film opens with a Saiyan ship flying through space and crashing to Earth. The impact creates a crater, and an injured Legendary Super Saiyan exits the ship. Broly’s power decreases as the weather becomes colder. He then reverts back to his Super Saiyan status, and finally loses consciousness, becoming a normal Saiyan. Then water falls on him and freezes, trapping the sleeping Broly.

Quest for the Dragon Spheres

Goten imagines what he’ll want with the Dragon Spheres. Seven years later, Goten, Trunks, and Videl continue to search for the Dragon Spheres. Videl has always wanted to see Shenlong. They find out that Natade Village has a Shaman who believes everything in the world to be a curse. The chief of the village says a monster is terrorizing the residents of Natade Village, and their only hope for help is from the shaman.

Goten, Trunks, and Videl decide to create a plan for Natade by hiding in the nearby woods and leaving food for it. Trunks and Goten are hungry so they try to steal an apple. But when Goten catches them, it is too late. Goten hits Videl as he attempts to take it. Videl apologizes and gives Goten a cake. Trunks then confesses to Goten that he was just pretending. Videl & Goten report to Natade Village.

Then, the monster, a dinosaur, appears. Goten defeats the dinosaur and eats it. Trunks invites Videl to dinner. The shaman is then rebuffed by the village, as they were not properly protected. Natade village being peaceful, Goten and Trunks leave to pursue their quest for Dragon Spheres. Goten weeps because he cannot eat the apple.

Unbeknownst to them, however, Goten’s previous crying causes the ice Broly is stuck in to crack. Broly is woken up by Goten’s cry (which reminded him of Goku crying when they were children). He breaks through the ice and transforms after becoming angry into Super Saiyan.

Fighting Broly: Round 2

Evening falls when Goten, Videl, and Trunks go to sleep so that they can continue their adventure to summon Shenlong the next day. Videl wakes up in the morning from explosions far away. He then goes to investigate the blasts at the lake nearby. There, Videl is confronted by a man with white pants, a gold belt, earrings, and blond hair: Broly in his 🐲 Super Saiyan form. Broly appears before Videl.

As Broly and Videl confront each other, Trunks and Goten go to see what’s happening and attempt to persuade Broly to stop. Broly’s anger escalates when he mistakes Goten for Goku. Due to his declining mental state, Goten’s hair, and his crying that is similar to Goku’s, Broly becomes irritable. Broly turns his attention towards Goten and Trunks, and they are easily attacked and fought with.

Goten’s eyes drop on the battlefield during the battle. The last Dragon Sphere. Broly tries to distract him while Goten takes his Dragon Sphere. Goten accidentally loses the Sphere when he breaks into a place filled with crystal balls. Trunks is forced to fight Broly and dodge him, while Goten tries his best to find the Spheres in the crystal balls. Goten finally finds the Sphere and tries to summon Shenlong. Broly is about to kill Broly when Goten attempts to call Shenlong from behind a waterfall. Shenlong does not show up. Just as Broly is about to kill Goten and Trunks 👾, Gohan saves the boys by showing up at the very last minute.

Gohan lands safely with Goten and Trunks secure and explains to Broly that the fearsome Legendary Super Saiyan was with Trunks and Goten seven years ago when he fought alongside the Z Warriors. Gohan is surprised to discover that Videl is also with Goten, Trunks, and his team. Now, thinking that Gohan is Goku, Broly calls Gohan Kakarotto and attempts to attack him. Gohan tries head-on to defeat Broly. Both Saiyans seem to be equally matched. Videl then appears, and Gohan, Broly, and Broly fly up into the skies to fight. Broly then looks at Goten, Trunks, and Videl, who are on top of a cliff, watching the battle. Broly launches an energy ball at the three below. At the last second, Gohan appears in front of the others, reflects the energy sphere, and tries to defend 💪 his friends from the attack, but is unable to. The attack injures all the others, and Gohan is the last one standing to fight Broly. Gohan becomes angry over these events and transforms into his Super Saiyan 2 form. Broly crushes Gohan.

Being outclassed, Gohan transforms from his Super Saiyan 2 to his Legendary form. Gohan is defeated after a short struggle but cannot defeat Broly. Broly gives Gohan a blow in the stomach and then hugs him. Gohan realizes this is the only way to defeat Broly. Gohan unleashes his last strength, kicks Broly in the face, and he is unable to stop him. This injures Broly and distracts him, allowing Gohan to escape. Broly is lured to a lava lake Broly created with his previous energy sphere. Broly appears to fall into the molten lava. Gohan saves Broly before he falls into the lava. Kuririn (in Piccolo’s clothes) launches an assault.

Broly appears before the eyes of a new energy shield that he had created to protect him. The Z Warriors and Kuririn are shocked by this, and Gohan becomes annoyed. Kuririn then knocks him out with an anachronistic energy attack. Broly then tortures Gohan with all the other helpless and exhausted people.

Broly is just about to kill Gohan when Videl intervenes and throws a crystal at the giant Saiyan, distracting him for a while. Gohan becomes angry after Videl is seen falling from the crystal. Broly then kicks Gohan in the stomach. Gohan shouts angrily for him to stop. Broly however tells Gohan he will not stop until his death. Gohan transforms into Super Saiyan, attacking Broly with a Super Kamehameha. Broly responds with an Omega Blaster, stopping Gohan from attacking. The Dragon Spheres begin to glow and fall from Goten’s bag. Broly knocks Goten unconscious, and he transforms into a glowing ghost. a Super Saiyan helps Gohan with his Kamehameha. Goku, Gohan, Goten, et al. Kamehameha.

But even with this combined Kamehameha, Broly still has the advantage, launching the enormous energy bomb forward and launching several attacks on him. Goten is now scared of losing and begins to think that Goku might be there. The Dragon Spheres appear to hear Goten’s wishes and glow. The Spheres seem to have fulfilled Goten’s wish. Broly, Goten, and Gohan hear a familiar voice from the sky: it is Goku. Goku suddenly appears from the darkness and lands next to his sons. He transforms into Super Saiyan and launches his Kamehameha to aid his sons. He encourages them to fight in the duel. This works until Broly starts throwing more ki at the bomb.

Trunks awakens from the energy fight. Broly falls down after he launches a Ki beam at him. Trunks’ attack blocks Broly from his enormous energy bomb. Broly can’t throw more ki at it to make it move forward. This opportunity is now. Goku, his sons, and he charge all their strength into the Kamehameha, which defeats Broly’s bomb. His last attempts are futile, as he is thrown into the sun. His chest explodes and he screams. The sun.

When the dust has settled, the 🐲 Dragon Spheres scatter, and Goku is gone. Videl is furious that Gohan has not arrived earlier to assist Broly. Trunks declares he’d like to eat, and he walks off wearing the necklace of the Shaman. Goten follows him as they walk. Kuririn is still on the rock he was thrown and asks for assistance before the movie ends.
