What happens

Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan is a 1993 Japanese anime science fiction martial arts film and the eighth Dragon Ball Z feature film. The original release date in Japan was on March 6, 1993, at the Toei Anime Fair alongside Dr. Slump and Arale-chan: N-cha! Clear Skies Over Penguin Village. It was dubbed into English and released by Funimation in 2003. It was preceded by Dragon Ball Z: Super Android 13! and followed by Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound. Broly was created by Takao Koyama and was designed by series creator Akira Toriyama. This film is the first of three titular films featuring the character, followed by Broly – Second Coming and Bio-Broly in 1994. The character also appeared in Dragon Ball Z: The Real 4-D at Super Tenkaichi Budokai, a cinematic attraction at Universal Studios Japan in 2017. In 2018, a reboot film titled Dragon Ball Super: Broly was released and served as a retelling of Broly's origins and character arc, taking place after the conclusion of the Dragon Ball Super television series.
