- Broly's incredible potential will lead to new transformations and increased strength in the series.
Ever since the days of Dragon Ball Z, fans have fallen in love with the character of Broly. Although the depiction of the Saiyan in the earlier part of the franchise was vastly different from his modern counterpart, there are some facets of his character which are the same, chief of which are his monstrous strength and insane potential. Both the Z and Super versions of Broly are incredibly powerful.
However, the major difference between these versions is the fact that Broly was a raging psychopath in his first iteration, and while his version in Dragon Ball Super is a sympathetic character with no control over his rage, he holds the potential to be the most powerful hero in the setting. So, in this article, let's go over how Broly can leave the remaining heroes of Universe 7 in the dust to become the strongest of them all.
Dragon Ball Super Season 2 May Be The Best Part Of The Entire Franchise
The Dragon Ball Super anime has been on an indefinite hiatus for years, but its return could be the greatest part of the franchise!

As stated previously, both the canon and non-canon versions of Broly do share some similarities, though their differences are far more apparent. They are alike in their strength, since both were blessed with unnatural potential at birth that is greater than that of any other pure-blooded Saiyan, allowing them to close massive gaps in power without any training, purely using their rage.
However, there is a major caveat here, in that both versions tend to lose control of themselves in doing so, turning into a monster of unparalleled strength who only knows destruction. Although this grants Broly strength far greater than what the others can muster, his lack of self-control is the biggest hindrance to him, and while this is something that the original version reveled in, it's clear to see that the current iteration of this character outright hates this about himself.
Even if we do ignore the previous data, Broly's latent abilities are quite remarkable.
The direction that the story has moved in has been unanimously embraced by fans, which puts Broly as one of the five main heroes of Universe 7. As of Chapter 103, he seems to have gotten much greater control over his powers, culminating in his Full Powered Super Saiyan form, which is on a similar level to the strongest forms of Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, and Piccolo. Through further refinement of his incredible powers, most fans believe that Broly can eventually become the strongest hero of them all.
But what would this look like? Well, judging by the importance that the franchise places on transformations, most fans are convinced that, once the series returns and further arcs emphasize the need to get even stronger, Broly will eventually unlock forms greater than his Full Powered Super Saiyan state, and, consequently, even stronger than those of the other heroes. The reason why he can do this is because of his unmatched potential.
Potential as a concept is a divisive one in Dragon Ball, since many fans feel that it is a lazy way for characters to become much stronger without needing to train for it. Be that as it may, this concept has existed within the franchise since the beginning, and some of the most popular heroes and villains owe their amazing strength to their insane potential, namely Gohan and Frieza. As such, it's implied that Broly has the greatest potential out of every hero, which could allow him to become the most powerful character in the setting.
The reception of such a story development, however, would be mixed, since there are quite a few fans who don't take too kindly to the trope of potential being superior to hard work. Still, with the story going forward and placing an even greater emphasis on strength and how to increase it, it's only natural for the heroes to become far more powerful than they have ever been before, and Broly is most probably going to be the strongest of them all as the threats get even more dangerous.

As such, fans of the series have been debating about what Broly's future in the setting could look like. At the current stage, he has finally controlled his monstrous power to bring him to the same level as the other main heroes of the setting, although this power would likely be insufficient as the story progresses and the enemies somehow continue to get even stronger. This has led to a lot of fan speculation about Broly's forms in the future and what they could look like.
With the release of Dragon Ball Daima, fans were delighted to see Super Saiyan 4 finally brought to the canon of the series, since this is the favorite form of many. Because of this, and owing to Broly having the most primal and raw power out of everyone, most agree that when the time comes for him to get even stronger, he will unlock Super Saiyan 4, which is something fans have wanted to see for years. Only time will tell what Broly's next power-up will look like, but this possibility is the one fans are hoping for the most.
