Broly has two lives: the rampaging movie villain of the ’90s and the canon powerhouse of Dragon Ball Super: Broly. Both versions transform — and their forms don’t work the same way. Here is every Broly form ranked weakest to strongest, canon and non-canon.
Quick Answer
Broly’s forms, weakest to strongest: Z-era Base, Super-era Base, Wrathful (Ikari), Z-era Super Saiyan, Super-era Super Saiyan, Legendary Super Saiyan (Z), and Super Saiyan Full Power (Super). The canon Super version peaks higher — his Full Power form pushed Gogeta Blue to the limit — while the Z version’s Legendary form remains the iconic green-haired berserker.
The Full Ranking
| Rank | Form | Version | Canon? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 | Base | DBZ movies | No |
| 6 | Base | DBS: Broly | Yes |
| 5 | Wrathful (Ikari) | DBS: Broly | Yes |
| 4 | Super Saiyan | DBZ movies | No |
| 3 | Super Saiyan | DBS: Broly | Yes |
| 2 | Legendary Super Saiyan | DBZ movies | No |
| 1 | Super Saiyan Full Power | DBS: Broly | Yes |
7–6. Base (Z) and Base (Super)
Two bases, two monsters. The Z version’s base form already shrugged off Super Saiyan Vegeta’s attacks. The canon version’s base sparred evenly with base Vegeta and Goku — and kept adapting mid-fight, the trait that defines him.
5. Wrathful (Ikari)
The canon Broly’s signature: the power of a Great Ape channeled through a human body, no tail or moon required. Golden eyes, hair standing on end — and enough power to overwhelm Super Saiyan God. No Z-era form has an equivalent.
4. Super Saiyan (Z)
The form that made him a ’90s legend — though in the movies it is essentially his Legendary state wearing Super Saiyan’s look. It crushed the combined Z Fighters until a single plot-point punch ended him.
3. Super Saiyan (Super)
When canon Broly finally went Super Saiyan, the green tint bled through almost immediately — his rage pulling him toward Full Power. It took Gogeta to answer it.
2. Legendary Super Saiyan (Z)
The original berserker: towering, green-haired, endlessly powering up. The “Legendary” title was marketing as much as lore, but the image defined a generation of fans.
1. Super Saiyan Full Power (Super)
The peak of both Brolys. Canon Broly’s max form — green hair, mountainous muscle, power still climbing — forced Goku and Vegeta to fuse and pushed Gogeta Blue to finish the fight fast. No other Broly form comes close.
Canon vs Non-Canon: The Honest Split
The Z movies (Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan, Second Coming, Bio-Broly) sit outside continuity. Dragon Ball Super: Broly (2018) rebooted him into canon with a new backstory. When fans argue “strongest Broly,” they are usually comparing these two peaks.
