Confirmed, this Broly is going to be a new version of him that will fit the canon quite nicely apparently.

"I apparently at least drew the designs for him"
Toriyama and his legendary memory It was obvious the antagonist was going to be a legendary super saiyan, but I didn't think he would actually be a new version of Broly. First thing I hope Toriyama has done is take away his obsession with Goku, or at least provided a better reason for it.

As someone who was always a fan of Broly, I'm pretty happy about this development. Because despite being a fan, his character did have things about him that I would've liked to be fixed--namely his irrelevance as a non-canon alternate universe character and his one dimensional personality. So I welcome the chance for Broly to finally become part of the canon while getting to see a new take on the character by Toriyama himself.
On a side note, I am curious to see if Toriyama and his editor have long term plans for this rebooted version of Broly. Are they going to introduce him in this movie just to have him get killed off by the end of the film? Or is he going to join the numerous other characters introduced in Super that have made the transition from antagonist to protagonist? I'm also looking forward to any possible explanations as to where Broly has been all this time and how the existence of such a powerful Saiyan has gone unnoticed in U7. I realize there's an infinite number of possible explanations. I just want to know which one they're going to run with. PS: I know it's a long shot, but this movie would be a instant win for me if the U6 Saiyans made an appearance and we got to see Broly vs Kale. |

By the way, a few weeks ago Toei announced they would screen three old remastered DBZ movies in theaters this fall: the first Broly movie, the Bardock movie, and Fusion Reborn. This led to speculation they were related to the new movie coming out in December. Bardock was an obvious one, since we already knew the upcoming movie will tell us the backstory of the saiyans. Now we know about Broly. This leaves Fusion Reborn, which has led people to believe this movie will also make Gogeta canon.

What's with Tori and Toei recycling villains over and over? First we had Tao Pai Pai, then the two Piccolos, then Frieza, then Majin Buu and in GT #17. And judging by Tori's comments, Broly will at least be one dimensional though.

I never thought about Hulk until now either. Green is his color, too.
Anyway, given that they're aware of Broly's popularity, I wonder if they're going to have him stick around like Frieza. Creating a new version of him just to kill him off after one movie would be kind of a shame.

For a while, I thought the same way. Broly being sorta like Hulk. But now that I think about it a bit better, he's more like Doomsday. Having little to no personality beyond being overpowered and being popular because of it.
