Broly has the potential to become one of the strongest members of the Z Fighters, but Dragon Ball Super still has room to develop what makes him different from Goku and Vegeta. Unlike the two experienced Saiyans, Broly possesses extraordinary natural power that he spent much of his life struggling to control. His training has therefore focused on more than increasing his strength. He must learn to use his abilities without allowing his anger to overwhelm him.
The franchise has already established a foundation for this development. In Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero, Broly appears on Beerus’ Planet, where Goku and Vegeta are training. Rather than immediately joining their battles, he watches the two Saiyans spar to understand how experienced fighters control their power.
The official Dragon Ball website also confirms that Broly trains under Whis alongside Goku and Vegeta, with repeated sparring sessions intended to help him remain calm during combat.
Broly has already made progress, but his potential remains unexplored
Broly’s development goes beyond the brief appearance in the movie. The Dragon Ball Super manga’s Chapter 103 shows him facing Gohan after watching Goku and Gohan test their abilities. During their sparring match, Broly transforms into a Super Saiyan without losing control of himself, demonstrating how much he has learned through training.
This is an important step because his earlier transformations caused him to become increasingly aggressive and lose control of his actions. However, his progress does not mean he has perfected his abilities. Beerus points out that Broly still has room to improve his control, leaving the character with a clear direction for future development.
That development could eventually make Broly a regular part of the Z Fighters’ battles. The group has previously welcomed former enemies such as Piccolo, Vegeta, Android 17, and Android 18. Broly could follow a similar path, especially given his growing friendship with Goku and Vegeta. His strength would make him a valuable ally against increasingly powerful opponents, provided he can maintain control during difficult fights.
His history with Paragus offers another story to explore
Broly’s future also involves more than fighting stronger opponents. His relationship with his father, Paragus, remains an important part of his character. Paragus raised him on the harsh Planet Vampa, where Broly spent most of his life isolated from other Saiyans. Although Paragus was responsible for much of his difficult upbringing, Broly still showed an emotional attachment to him.
Dragon Ball Super: Broly established this complicated relationship, but the franchise has not fully explored how Broly understands his father’s treatment of him. Future installments could examine whether Broly has come to terms with his childhood and how his friendships with Goku, Cheelai, and Lemo have changed his outlook.
The official character profile describes Broly as a kind-hearted Saiyan whose extraordinary potential was apparent from birth. It also explains how King Vegeta exiled him to Vampa because he feared Broly’s power.
Could Broly receive another transformation?
Broly’s future power progression is another possibility for the franchise. His Super Saiyan Full Power transformation demonstrated that his strength could challenge even Super Saiyan Blue Gogeta. However, his ability to control that power could be just as important as unlocking another transformation.
Super Dragon Ball Heroes has also experimented with alternate versions of Broly, including a Super Saiyan 4 form. However, those appearances belong to a separate promotional anime continuity and do not establish that the main Dragon Ball Super version will receive the same transformation.
For now, Broly’s most important development is learning to use his existing strength without losing himself. With his training alongside Goku, Vegeta, and Whis already producing results, the franchise has a clear opportunity to make him more than a powerful character who appears when a major battle needs another Saiyan.
Broly could eventually become one of the Z Fighters’ strongest members. The next step is giving him a story that allows his personality, relationships, and growing control over his power to develop alongside his fighting abilities.
