In the eighth movie, Broli is the son of Paragus, and known as the Legendary Super Saiyan. Along with his father, Broli plans to take his revenge on Vegeta, whose father, King Vegeta, ordered him and Paragus to be executed when Broli, as an infant, showed a power level of 10,000, unusually high for even a full grown Saiyan, causing the King to feel threatened by Broli's unusual strength. Broli and Paragus survived the attempt, and escaped from Planet Vegeta before its destruction by Freeza. In the movie, Broli and Paragus lure Vegeta and the others to a distant planet, which will soon be hit by a comet and obliterated. Broli eventually comes face to face with Goku, and his mind immediately snaps, due to a lifelong grudge he holds against Goku (they were born on the same day, and Goku's constant crying kept Broli awake). In his rage, Broli loses his self-control and his sanity, and transforms into the Legendary Super Saiyan. After a heated battle, during which Broli easily bests his opponents, Vegeta manages to lend some of his power to Goku, who uses it to defeat Broli with a single punch.

In the tenth movie, Broli is revealed to have survived and crash landed on Earth before losing consciousness. Seven years later, he reawakens due to Goten's crying, and emerges to do battle against Gohan, Trunks and Goten (whom he mistakes for Goku). With spiritual help from Goku (who died against Cell), the three Saiyans fire a triple kamehameha wave which sends Broly straight through the sun, destroying him.

In the eleventh movie, however, it is revealed that a village conjurer found samples of Broli's blood and sold them to an industrialist, whose scientists used the blood to create a clone of Broli. The clone, upon seeing Goten and Trunks, loses control again and is drenched in the bio-liquid surrounding his tank, transforming him into Bio-Broli. Bio-Broli goes on a rampage, beating Goten, Trunks, Krillin and Android 18, until they discover his new weakness: sea-water, which turns the bio-liquid into stone. Goten, Trunks and Krillin use the sea-water to solidify Bio-Broli, and with one last blast, destroy the Legendary Super Saiyan once and for all.

One of Broli's unique characteristics lies in his Ki energy. Whenever he focuses his power, a high-pitched shriek is emitted, most often heard preceding an attack or a transformation.

He put Piccolo to death with his incredible might, but fell powerless to Son Goku who had returned to Earth with new training from North Kaio.

Raditz (ラディッツ, Radittsu^?) is the biological brother of Son Goku and the eldest son of Bardock. Raditz went to Earth to help in the planet's invasion, and to persuade his younger brother Goku to join the Saiyans in their conquest. However, disappointed to discover that Goku had lost his memories and adjusted to life on Earth, Raditz kidnapped Gohan and tried to force Goku to become an ally. Goku and Piccolo fight him together, but are overwhelmed. During the battle, Gohan sees his father in danger and explodes with rage, delivering a massive amount of damage to Raditz in a single blow. Taking advantage of the situation, Goku puts Raditz in a full nelson and demands Piccolo to kill them both with the Makankosappo. The beam pierces both of them, and Raditz genuinely grieves for his brother's death as well as his own. However, before dying, he manages to tell Piccolo that his two Saiyan friends, Nappa and Vegeta, have heard the tale of the Dragon Balls and will come to Earth in a year's time.

Vegetto

Vegetto (ベジット, Bejitto^?) was a desperate fusion by Vegeta and Goku using the Potara Earrings in an effort to defeat Boo. Goku redirects here. ...

Old Kai pointed out the perfection of the fusion. He noted that Goku and Vegeta were two of the strongest beings in their worlds and the next, so naturally their fusion would create a powerful entity. Also, the fact that the two were once rivals actually assisted in making the fusion complete.

After the fusion, Vegetto transformed into a Super Saiyan and utterly outclassed Super Boo in every aspect. Vegetto is also seen to be able to be in full control of his body when Boo turns him into a coffee candy (jawbreaker in the American dub) in an attempt to absorb him into his body. After being turned back into his original form by Boo, Vegetto puts up a force field and allows Boo to absorb him, in order to rescue the ones who Boo had absorbed. The force field had protected Vegetto from being absorbed into Boo's system, however, once inside Boo's body Vegeta ends the fusion by destroying one of the Potara earrings, and the supposed permanent fusion splits into Goku and Vegeta again. Vegetto is never seen again

The name Vegetto is a portmanteau of the names Vegeta and Kakarotto, the latter being Goku's Saiyan birthname. The spelling Vegetto is the official trade name of the character in Japan, as evident by its appearance in Jump Ultimate Stars and merchandise such as the Super Battle Collection action figures. Because of the way Viz transliterates Goku's Saiyan name into Kakarrot, Vegetto's name was changed into "Vegerot" in their translation of the manga. The name "Vegito" in the English version of the anime is regarded as a combination of the names Vegeta and Kakarot, but with the two last letters of "Kakarot" backwards. Jump Ultimate Stars is a fighting video game developed by Ganbarion and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. It is the sequel to the popular Nintendo DS title, Jump Super Stars. ...

Despite not making any appearances in the original series or the manga, Vegetto has a counterpart known as Gogeta, the result of Goku and Vegeta performing the Fusion Dance. Gogeta's only appearances in the anime are: Fusion Reborn, where he defeats the demon Janemba; and the Evil Dragons Saga of Dragon Ball GT, where he goes up against (but fails to destroy) Omega Shenron, the series' final villain.
