Dragon Ball Super: Broly

PLANET VEGETA

41 YEARS AGO

Damn it! They're crazy!

How rude! They mock us with a visit like this!

Great King Cold has arrived.

So it would seem.

It's been too long, King Vegeta.

Great King Cold, welcome.

Allow me to introduce my son, Frieza.

It is a pleasure to meet you, Frieza-sama.

The pleasure is mine.

Getting right to it,

I have decided to retire.

As of now, Frieza will be taking over my forces.

Put another way, the Cold force will now be the Frieza force.

Nothing will change.

The Saiyans need only work according to the Frieza force's orders.

If there is any slight difference,

it would be that Frieza is even more cold-hearted than I am.

Greetings.

I have special expectations from all of you Saiyans.

To commemorate my installment today, I brought you some new combat items.

These are newly developed devices called Scouters.

They are made more compact than the surveillance Scout Scopes

that you have been using up to now,

and you can also simultaneously use them as communicators.

It displays your subject's position, battle power, and range,

just as your Scopes have done up to now.

Oh...

It appears that a number of Saiyans are targeting us with weapons.

That Saiyan hiding in there has a battle power of...

...2,000.

That is quite outstanding.

That is the gist of it.

Handy, are they not?

For now, I will present you with 500 units.

If that is not enough, please let me know. Goodbye, now.

Ho! Look how big he is getting.

My son, my pride and joy,

your latent battle power is a natural gift.

It is you who will become the king of the universe, not that monster Frieza.

I look forward to seeing you grow.

Who is this?

What is he doing in a special capsule?

Majesty!

This child is Broly. He is the son of Colonel Paragus.

Tell me why! This nursery room is here

for exceptional babies who will become Saiyan elites!

Yes, Majesty. You see... Broly's latent abilities are especially high.

Are you telling me he has a rating that rivals my brilliant son?

Yes, Majesty.

When we gauged him, his level far exceeded the prince's.

That isn't possible. The prince's own rating was record-setting!

Give me that!

I am terribly sorry, Majesty! It appears to have malfunctioned.

I will get a new gauge.

Coming right now.

After further measurement, his rating is less than half of before.

He did have some anomalous readings in the past,

but they must have been due to gauge malfunctions.

But even purging the anomalous data,

Broly's latent abilities are still substantial.

Once he receives training, he will grow to become an outstanding warrior

and be a powerful asset for our forces.

He could even be the legendary Super Saiyan...

Paragus-sama! Please wait!

Hey! Get away from me! Please wait!

Please forgive my discourteousness.

I understand that you plan to launch my son Broly

to an outlying world by pod?

That's right.

That is a job for a lower-class warrior.

If he develops enough to subjugate that world,

he could become an even stronger warrior.

Dominating worlds and selling them for a high price,

that is what the warrior Saiyan race does.

His destination, the Planetoid Vampa,

is an inhospitable world without even any people on it.

I do not see how it could sell for very much.

Your son's latent abilities are abnormally elevated.

He could even be called a mutant.

Someday, he will be unable to maintain his mental state,

and will be a danger not just to my Vegeta forces, but the whole universe.

Be grateful that I am sending him to another world,

and not just ending his life outright!

How could you?

You are jealous of Broly's latent abilities which surpass the prince's,

and are just trying to get rid of him!

Say one more word,

and you'll end up dead.

Besides, it's already too late.

The pod has just been launched.

What?

Move! What are you doing?

Just a moment! You don't have permission to launch!

They're not authorized! That's dangerous!

Return here at once! Repeat, return here at once!

Please return at once!

I can't do that. I have to save my son!

King Vegeta boasted of how his prince,

who was born at the same time, had prodigious latent abilities.

He didn't like the fact that my son Broly's abilities exceed them.

The pod's destination is some outlying planet.

A Planetoid called Vampa, orbiting around Star 94.

Why? There aren't any inhabited planets in that area.

The king's goal is not to claim the planet,

he means to get rid of my son Broly.

Oh, my...

Don't worry, Beets. Once I rescue Broly, we'll go live on some other world.

You'll drop us off there and head back to Planet Vegeta.

You aren't coming back, sir?

Of course not. If I did, I'd just be executed.

I will raise Broly to be a mighty warrior,

and someday take revenge against King Vegeta!

So that's Planetoid Vampa.

My calculations say that the pod arrived here two days ago.

Please be alive, Broly. I'm coming to save you right now.

He should be over there somewhere!

It seemed calmer over where there was still light. Let's land there!

No, we're going in hard, here!

We have to go look for him, now! Come with me!

Me, too, sir?

Yes. I can't have you taking off on me while I'm searching.

I wouldn't do that. Please trust me.

Ha! Is there such a thing as a trustworthy Saiyan?

I understand that there's a new model of those Scout Scopes.

Frieza, our new leader, supposedly brought some with him.

I know.

This Frieza guy is said to be incredibly impressive.

Makes no difference to me now.

What could that be?

What are those things?

You can't be serious! I'm not even a combatant!

It looks like the night and the storms come as a set.

Now it's hot, though.

Could that world be a satellite? It's perfectly full.

Don't look at it too long. You'll become a Great Ape.

Huh? Oh, right. I've never actually turned Great Ape before.

Great Apes lose all sense of themselves.

The only time to become one is if you're cornered with no other way out.

What is this?

The ground is soft. This doesn't seem like grass.

Those things...

It looks like they're drinking something out of the ground.

What is that?

That wasn't grassland, it's a giant beast.

Those monsters live by sucking the beasts' blood.

The beasts then live off of those monsters.

This world sure is gross...

The pod! The pod is over there!

He's not here. Where did he go?

Could he have been eaten, maybe?

Over there.

Are you sure this is it?

Broly!

You attacked a monster and ate its leg? That's my boy!

That's Broly?

Battle power 920? That's stronger than I am, you know!

Even if he is a gifted child with a high battle power,

he couldn't have defeated that monster at 920.

Look here. His suit is a bit stretched and baggy.

He must have looked at that full moon and turned Great Ape.

Let's hurry and leave this world.

It got pretty roughed up, huh?

Oh, no!

What is it?

The main floater is cracked!

You mean you can't fix it?

Absolutely not. Without a new floater...

What? You mean we're stuck here?

We can't even radio for help like this.

There's enough food and water for ten days.

Do you think anyone will find us in just ten days?

We really shouldn't have crash landed after all.

This will save one person's worth of food.

FIVE YEARS LATER

Bardock-San... Bardock-San!

What?

We're almost to Planet Vegeta.

It's been a long time, huh? Yeah.

What do you suppose this is about,

ordering the Saiyans to hurry and assemble at Planet Vegeta?

Apparently, that Frieza bastard ordered it.

Take off your Scouter. They'll hear you.

Ah, that's right!

Look at that.

All the others are coming back home, too.

Look over there.

That's Frieza's ship.

There's still some time left, but it's already standing by?

You don't think it's strange?

If he just wants to speak to us,

he doesn't need to bring us back to the planet, he could just use the radio.

If he wants to give us new weapons,

there's no point in hurrying to gather us together.

There really is something fishy going on here.

Huh? What do you mean, fishy?

Conquering planets and selling them

has always been the livelihood of the warrior Saiyan race.

Then Frieza's father, Cold, subjugated us by force
