I’ll be explaining why Broly has so much potential.

Why does Broly have so much potential?

Broly has so much potential because he’s a special case of being built different. It’s thought of that he’s a mutant. He gets stronger the more he fights. And being born with a power level of 10,000 only adds to his strength.

Broly is a special case of Built Different potentially being a mutant

Broly is often described as “built different,” and for good reason.

While most Saiyans follow a predictable growth pattern—train hard, unlock transformations, and gradually get stronger—Broly was born as a rare mutant.

Unlike standard Saiyans, his physiology seems designed to evolve beyond normal limits.

At birth, his power level was already measured at 10,000, a staggering number considering most elite warriors started far lower.

To put it in perspective, Vegeta as a child—regarded as a prodigy—was nowhere near that.

Broly didn’t earn that strength through combat or training; it was simply in his DNA.

That baseline alone makes him one of the most exceptional Saiyans ever introduced.

The mutant theory explains why Broly’s abilities feel unnatural compared to his peers.

His body adapts and evolves mid-battle, something that breaks traditional Saiyan logic.

In many ways, he’s less a warrior and more a living weapon—an experiment in limitless growth.

Broly gets stronger the more he fights

One of Broly’s defining traits is his ability to grow stronger with every clash.

Unlike most fighters who fatigue over time, Broly seems to thrive in prolonged battles.

Every punch he throws, every attack he absorbs, pushes him to evolve.

This adaptive fighting style is reminiscent of Saiyan biology, but Broly takes it to extremes.

Normal Saiyans have the “Zenkai boost,” a power increase after surviving near-death experiences.

Broly doesn’t even need to be near death—his growth is active during combat.

That’s why in Dragon Ball Super: Broly, we see him rapidly outpacing both Goku and Vegeta despite having zero experience fighting trained martial artists.

By the time Gogeta arrives, Broly’s raw power has escalated to levels comparable with a fusion of two of the strongest Saiyans alive.

This trait makes Broly unpredictable and, in theory, unstoppable.

As long as a fight continues, his strength keeps climbing.

It’s not hard to imagine a scenario where Broly surpasses even god-tier warriors just by surviving long enough.

Does Broly’s upbringing add to his lack of control?

Broly’s lack of self-control can be traced directly to his traumatic upbringing.

Abused and manipulated by his father Paragus, Broly never had a chance to develop emotional stability.

Being sentenced to execution as an infant already framed him as a tragic figure, marked by rejection from birth.

On top of this, the haunting memory of lying next to a crying Kakarot (Goku) left lasting psychological scars, fueling uncontrollable rage whenever his emotions spiral.
