* OutOfCharacterMoment: Broly appears to only be mindless brute who can only say ''Kakarot!'' while trying to kill Goten, Trunks, and Gohan, but before unleashing his final attack, he speaks clearly once more.

* CurbStompCushion: Super Saiyan 2 Gohan is able to damage and get a few hits on Legendary Super Saiyan Broly, which is more than what any of the Z Fighters could do against Broly in his debut film alone until Goku's CombinedEnergyAttack, but it's clear he's completely outclassed.



* SoLastSeason: Weirdly enough, this applies to ''Broly'' and the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation in this film. Once Gohan is able to tap into Super Saiyan 2 again, he's able to hold his own against Broly and even beat him back for a bit.

While Broly still manages to get the upper hand, it's a far cry from the [[CurbStompBattle slaughterfest]] Broly inflicted on the Z-Fighters in his debut film.

* AbsenteeActor: The film focuses on Goten, Trunks, Videl and later Gohan before they are attacked by Broly. Despite how overwhelmingly powerful Broly is, which means they by all rights should've sensed him, none of the other Z-Fighters appear save for Krillin - not even Piccolo or Vegeta show up.

* RevengeBeforeReason: UpToEleven. Broly arrived on Earth while recovering from his last battle, to get revenge on Goku. However, he slips into a coma and is frozen over. By the time he's free again, Goku's been dead for years, and he literally sees Goten and Gohan as Goku, making him highly irrational to say the least.

* CoversAlwaysLie: The cover depicts Goku and Gohan very prominently. Gohan shows up essentially in the last act and doesn't do much more than fight Broly for a bit, and Goku is basically in the movie for one scene. Videl, by contrast, is pretty much a main character but isn't shown at all.

Seven years have passed since Goku's defeat of Broly, which culminated with Broly being blasted to Earth and frozen over while in a coma. Now, Gohan has grown up, Goten is born, and Goku has died. While Goten, Trunks, and Videl are looking for the dragon balls, they come across a village that is being terrorized by a monster. They decide to help, but as they are waiting for the monster to appear, the sound of Goten's crying causes Broly to regain consciousness, seeking revenge! But, how will the Z warriors repel his might without Goku?

* ContinuitySnarl: Much like ''Super Android 13'' before it, this movie doesn't fit anywhere in the timeline. Going by power levels, all the characters are working at how they were during the World Tournament Saga as Goten and Trunks apparently haven't learned to fuse and Gohan hasn't trained with Supreme Kai. No mention is made of Majin Buu or Babidi at all, almost like they don't exist.

No mention is made of Majin Buu or Babidi at all, almost like they don't exist. It's quite possible that it takes place during the one-month lead-up to the 25th Tenkaichi Budokai (the period where Gohan teaches Videl how to fly).

Unnecesary addition.


*** Much of this can be explained in that it is a non-canon movie, and not in line with the Majin Buu saga. Moreover, [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane it's left ambiguous as to whether Shenron was summoned at all, or their wishes were granted, or whether it was a hallucination]].

* {{Flanderization}}: Broly is just an angry Saiyan who wants to kill Goku in this movie. While Broly certainly wasn't the deepest character, his backstory in the first movie portrays him in a somewhat tragic light (he is a violent Saiyan that despises Goku due to his constant crying as a baby, was nearly killed along with his father by King Vegeta because of his high power level, and was mind controlled to be used by his father as a weapon of destruction). And while insane, he was also clearly rational and articulate enough to show that he knew exactly what he was doing. In ''Second Coming'', Broly is just an unbalanced psychopath that can't distinguish Goku's sons from Goku himself and except for one line, only ever screams ''one'' coherent word: "Kakarot." It's not until the end where he says a coherent sentence.

** When Krillin saves Gohan, Gohan mistakes him for Piccolo at first because, inexplicably, Krillin decided to come save Gohan wearing Piccolo's outfit. Nearly every previous Dragon Ball Z movie had Piccolo make his first entrance by saving Gohan from some attack or another, to the point of RunningGag.
