While spiky and reaching his upper back the same, his counterpart had hair split down in the middle while Broly’s hair is more overgrown. While still tall, he is noticeably shorter and is more muscular while having noticeably darker skin next to his counterpart. While retaining the same general concept, Broly’s appearance differs from his Dragon Ball Z movies counterpart. While Toriyama created most of the character, he chose to ignore the Legendary Super Saiyan form’s green haired appearances when creating his design, and so Naohiro Shintani decided to create his own green-haired design as Broly’s “Full Power” in order to implement it. After watching the previous Broly movies, Toriyama decided that Broly could be quite interesting if he rearranged some things about him. This incarnation of Broly is Toriyama’s attempt to add him into the “ Dragon Ball canon“. Toriyama also made changes to his behavior from a vengeful person to a very confused and kind-hearted character. It was suggested to Akira Toriyama by his editor to have Broly appear in the movie due to his overwhelming popularity. Broly is based off the previous Broly from Dragon Ball Z’s Broly film trilogy.
