Not an example. pretending to be a servant is not light related.

** Paragus also qualifies too. Paragus dressed in a white cape, sporting a damaged eye, introducing himself as a humble servant of Vegeta, and presenting Vegeta a new planet to rule over as its king and restart the Saiyan race -- just as soon as he defeated a "Legendary Super Saiyan". His true intentions are to leave Vegeta stranded on this planet, which is a complete ruins beyond the supposed throne city and is about to be bombed by a comet, so that he can restart Saiyan dominance for himself on Earth and rule over it with his son as his instrument of power.
** Probably qualifies as PureIsNotGood as well, given the fact that he was able to gain the Super Saiyan transformation at what is implied to be childhood, which was stated to require a pure heart for him to do so.

** TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: That being said, he did have potential for being a more fleshed out character, if only through exploring how his trauma from nearly being killed as a child twisted him like it did and how being raised as a classical, brutal Saiyan didn't do him any favors at all, and then getting the slave crown put on him by his father, effectively turning him into a personal kill toy for his father. With most of it being implied rather than stated, however, his characterization suffers to the point he's less a person and more a force of nature, a hurricane of fists, feet and pain. That isn't really a bad thing for an antagonist sometimes, but it's a dissapointment for people wanting more than just that.

** Strangely enough, the aforementioned brainwashing also counts as one. Indeed, as a teenager, Broly was already an AxeCrazy maniac who killed for fun and who wrecked his father's eye when he was trying to restrain him from blowing up a planet. Therefore, Paragus' reason to put a slave crown on him seems a little more understandable.

Vegeta is lured to the planet New Vegeta by a group of Saiyan survivors in hopes that he will be the king of their new planet. But when he finds that they have ulterior motives of universal domination, he and the Z Warriors must fight Broly, the legendary Super Saiyan.
----
!!Tropes:
* AGodAmI: Inversion: Broly, in the Japanese version of Movie 8 as well as a few of the games, has him describing himself as the devil in response to Piccolo's statement about him being a monster.
-->'''Piccolo:''' Hmph! Damn monster, do your worst!\\
'''Broly:''' Monster? Wrong, I'm the devil!
:: [[MoralGuardians Amazingly enough]] even the Italian dub [[{{Woolseyism}} retains that line]] (only with "Demonio" (fiend) instead of "Diavolo" (devil).
* AssholeVictim: Paragus
* AxCrazy: Made more frightening by Broly's overwhelming power, and TropeCodifier for AxCrazy BloodKnight characters. His insanity makes Frieza and Cell seem normal and is on par with Kid Buu.
* {{Badass}}: Broly kicks ass in all of his appearances, but it's best seen in his first movie, in which he beats the crap out of the Z Warriors ''without breaking a sweat''. This is the most likely reason for him being a BreakoutVillain, not to mention getting a Super Saiyan 3 transformation.
* BadassMustache: Paragus boast one.
* BerserkButton: Anything resembling Goku. Or, as Broly likes to put it: "KAKAROTTOO~!".
** Thinking of Goku's crying when they were both 1-day old incensed him out of Paragus' mind control.
* BlatantLies: In a desperate attempt to save himself from Broly, he tells him that he's preparing a rocket so that they can both escape Comet Camori, despite clearly being in an escape pod meant for one passenger. Broly isn't convinced for one second.
* BloodKnight: Other than the obvious fact that Broly is a Saiyan, he is positively ''delighted'' when the Z-warriors refused to yield and are prepared to fight him ''to the bitter end.''
--->'''Broly:''' ''"Knowing you have no chance of victory, and yet you '''still''' fight on? You have my respect; you are '''truly''' worthy of your Saiyan blood!!"''
* BlingOfWar: One piece counts as Broly's PowerLimiter (and possibly a HypnoTrinket) and is indistinguishable from his other gem-encrusted pieces of gold.
* BreakoutVillain: If his numerous appearances in video games is not enough, he has the most of all movie characters by a long shot and even more than some main characters as well, the fact one of these games (''Supersonic Warriors 2'') ''actually'' [[HeelFaceTurn redeems]] him should settle it.
* TheBrute: Broly is one of the most {{Badass}} examples in anime, but he's merely a DragonInChief for his father in the first movie.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Both Broly's hair and his BattleAura have a slight green tint when he enters his Legendary Super Saiyan form.
** When Broly turns into a regular, non-Legendary Super Saiyan, his RestrainingBolt makes his hair turn blue instead of golden.
* CompetitiveBalance: One might remember Broly being a lot faster in his debut movie than he is in video games, this was clearly made to stick him in TheBrute role and disregard his LightningBruiser stats to even things out in the games; hits hard and moves slowly, rather than the broken hits hard and moves fast.
* DarkMessiah: Broly is the Saiyan race's [[MessianicArchetype messiah]]. ''The'' Legendary Super Saiyan, a born paragon of everything their race stands for; fighting, killing, and destruction. As if to hammer this one home, Funimation decided to name the sequel ''Second Coming''.
* DidYouActuallyBelieve: Broly says this regarding Paragus' belief that he'd die from Comet Camori colliding with New Planet Vegeta shortly after [[SelfMadeOrphan exacting]] [[TheDogBitesBack revenge]] on his father, implying that he's strong enough to survive the destruction of the planet in his LSSJ form.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Broly hates Goku with a murderous passion because shortly after they were both born, ''Goku's crying bothered him.''
* DissonantSerenity: Paragus describing the complete ruination of his plans and the inevitability of the universe's destruction now that Broly's broken free from his control, as if he's imagined the possibility for years but the actual terror of its arrival has long-since passed.
* TheDogBitesBack: See SelfMadeOrphan.
* TheDreaded: Even ''Vegeta'' was terrified of Broly.
* DeusExMachina: [[spoiler:Goku defeats Broly from one punch in the gut and in a process that seems to literally tear him apart.]]
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Before the Buu Saga, Paragus actually looks his age than Goku and Vegeta did. Vegeta actually explains Saiyans retain their youth in their prime so they can fight longer. But hey, being non-canon has its quirks.
* EmeraldPower: Contrary to any other Super Saiyan, Broly's aura is greenish. Implied to be a result of the MindControl device that was used on him.
* EvilCounterpart: Shares many similarities with Goku, such as being born almost simultaneously and sharing character elements from the original Monkey King of ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''. See MythologyGag below for more details.
** Also being a much more unstable version of Gohan with a less supportive father.
** A number of fans noted he's basically a pure-blooded Saiyan version of Future Trunks: He has a similar relationship with his father, with him being far more powerful than him, and in addition to his normal Super Saiyan form, he has another transformation that significantly bulks him up, gives him ProphetEyes etc.
* FestivalEpisode: The movie takes place during Hanami, [[CrappyHolidays and involves one of the most brutal battles in the franchise's history]]. The final shot has cherry blossoms flowing past the screen.
* FlatCharacter: He hates Kakarot and he's really powerful. That's all there really is to know about Broly.
* FreudianExcuse: The movie heavily implies that, besides Kakarot's crying, one of the biggest reasons for the way he is is because of life-threatening events related to Broly's birth. King Vegeta was so scared of his abnormal power that he tried to execute him as a child. He survived, only to watch as Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta (according to ''[[VideoGame/DragonBallZBudokai Shin Budokai]]'', this is what made him so unhinged in general). Later on in life, his father placed him under the control of a slave crown, initially out of fear of his power, but afterwards, he was used to destroy even more planets than before against his own will, which probably factored more hate into his father.
* HypnoTrinket: For the first half of the movie, Broly was wearing a crown that was heavily implied to have brainwashed Broly and sapped his will and emotions. It was placed on him by his father, Paragus, originally because he was scared of his power level, but after actually placing it onto Broly (who, going by the flashback, was unwilling to even allow Paragus to put it on him), he decided to use Broly as a little toy, namely destroy a lot more planets than Broly himself destroyed when he was a kid (again, against Broly's will).
* TheJuggernaut: To call Broly a "nigh-unstoppable mass of pain and destruction" is putting it VERY mildly. He spends pretty much every second that he's in his Legendary Super Saiyan form steamrolling whatever unlucky souls happen to be in his line of sight. At one point, he even implies that he's powerful enough to survive an immense comet plowing through the planet ("Did he [Paragus] really think I would die just because this planet was about to explode?!"), and given that he survived the destruction of Planet Vegeta by Frieza by creating a [[DeflectorShields force field]], while less than a week old, this is likely true.
* JustBetweenYouAndMe: Paragus starts monologuing and gives away his EvilPlan to Vegeta.
* KickTheDog: Broly blew up a planet just to see the looks on the former inhabitants' faces.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Broly kills his father, threw it at Comet Camori. You ''would'' feel bad for Paragus if you overlook the fact he enslaved an entire race of people to do his bidding and brainwash his own son for god-knows-how long.
* KnightOfCerebus: Yes, Broly's pretty dark. While Frieza and Buu still have some comedic traits, and Cell was repeatedly ridiculed in hell (later), Broly is an example disturbingly straight, without comedic or cartoonish traits. Makes him more frightening his Ax Crazy behaviour.
* LackOfEmpathy: Broly's so insane that it is very hard for him to feel empathy. However, he's at least honest about it and doesn't try to manipulate people by pretending to be empathic.
* LaughingMad: Broly is on par with Kid Buu.
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPKW8Q1L8N4 10's by Pantera]], which starts up after he transforms into the Legendary Super Saiyan.
* LightIsNotGood: Broly's dressed like some sort of regal/holy being, and is also implied to be the Saiyan equivalent of the Messiah. ''In his purest form, he's a self-described devil''.
** Paragus also qualifies too. Paragus dressed in a white cape, sporting a damaged eye, introducing himself as a humble servant of Vegeta, and presenting Vegeta a new planet to rule over as its king and restart the Saiyan race -- just as soon as he defeated a "Legendary Super Saiyan". His true intentions are to leave Vegeta stranded on this planet, which is a complete ruins beyond the supposed throne city and is about to be bombed by a comet, so that he can restart Saiyan dominance for himself on Earth and rule over it with his son as his instrument of power.
** Probably qualifies as PureIsNotGood as well, given the fact that he was able to gain the Super Saiyan transformation at what is implied to be childhood, which was stated to require a pure heart for him to do so.
* LightningBruiser: When fully transformed, Broly has the notable tactic of dodging an attack easily, then taking the next attack in the face just to show that it wouldn't have worked anyway, the walks through the attack before fully reversing the flow of action relentlessly attacking despite whatever amount of offense received.
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: Surprisingly averted, considering how most villains react to injury in the series. When Goku manages to kick Broly in the jaw hard enough to make him bleed, not only does he barely even react, just giving a smirk, he actually treats it as though it weren't a big deal and licks off the wound. In fact, the only one to overreact over the minor injury was Goku when he witnessed Broly licking off the wound.
-->(Broly turns to Goku with his mouth bleeding, then smirks and licks off the wound)
-->'''Goku:''' Eew! That was completely unnecessary! Disgusting!
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Half of the movie is basically him beating the snot out of the heroes.
** And he even implies that he's not even using his full strength to do so.
* NoInfantileAmnesia: See DisproportionateRetribution.
* OffingTheOffspring: Paragus tries to do this to Broly when the RestrainingBolt he put on him stops working. Alas, it doesn't work and Broly becomes a SelfMadeOrphan after getting revenge on his old man.
* OmnicidalManiac: Broly is so much more so than any ''DBZ'' villain save for Kid Buu, which speaks volumes.
* PainfulTransformation: A closer look at Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan transformation in the movie shows signs of this, one can see Broly's mouth and eye sockets being ripped wide open, this lead many to believe that his muscles don't just grow with the transformation, but ''literally'' burst from within his body in a painful manner.
* PersonOfMassDestruction: More so than the majority of DBZ villains. In the intro of the movie alone he wipes out ''an entire galaxy in one go'', making it vanish entirely in ''seconds'' ([[ArtisticLicensePhysics even though that would be physically impossible]]).
** It's possibly a visual representation of what he did to the Southern Galaxy over time.
* PowerLimiter: A hypno-crown made by his dad in his debut movie.
* ProphetEyes: Broly gains this in his Legendary form.
* PsychicPowers: Implied in Broly: Second Coming, where he is seen strangling Goten in a manner that resembled a [[Franchise/StarWars Force Choke]].
* PsychopathicManchild: Broly shades of this, probably because he's been under constant mind control since he was a kid. While he's transforming into the Legendary Super Saiyan, his screams sound like a crying child.
* SanitySlippage: Broly goes through this '''[[UpToEleven big time]].'''.
* SayMyName: Broly always shouts "Kakarot!", to the point its like a catchphrase for him. It's even a powerup move in the ''VideoGame/DragonBallZBudokaiTenkaichi'' games.
* ScreamingWarrior: '''Broly''', to the extent that Creator/VicMignogna dreads getting called to voice him.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Broly did this by crushing his father's space-pod ''with him inside'' after he tried to leave him to die by a comet hitting the planet. Then again, considering what his father subjected him to after putting that power limiter/hypno trinket on him and later attempting to abandon Broly shortly before his demise, [[AssholeVictim Paragus did deserve it]].
* ShameIfSomethingHappened: Early on in the fight, Broly asks Goku how important his son is to him. At that point Goku tells Gohan to leave immediately.
* SinkTheLifeboats: Paragus tries to use his EscapePod to flee from his rampaging son, Broly, and from the comet about to collide with the planet he had previously lured the Z-Fighters to. Unfortunately for him, Broly catches up to him, [[SelfMadeOrphan crushes the pod with his bare hands]], and throws the remains into the comet.
* SinsOfOurFathers: Paragus tries to exact revenge on Vegeta for his father's actions.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Is it Broly, Brolly or Broli?
** And, of course, there are the "Romanizers" who insist it's Burorii.
** The problem with "Brolly" is it's the English slang for umbrella.
** Paragus is alternately "Baragus" or "Paragas".
* SphereFactor: Broly's Ki is depicted this way.
* SicklyGreenGlow: Broly's Legendary aura.
** Sicker still when you consider no other character has a green aura.
* SuckingInLines: Broly's energy more often condenses from the atmosphere into his shield and {{Energy Ball}}s than directly from his body. The entire area goes green before the sphere shrinks down to useful density.
* TakeOverTheWorld: Paragus plans to conquer Earth because…well, it has nice scenery and a good location, or something.
* ThemeNaming: Broly is pun base off of broccoli and Paragus is obviously a pun on asparagus crown. Roshi (while drunk) even calls Broly broccoli at one point.
* UnskilledButStrong: Subverted. Broly looks like this, and fights like this, but he's actually a capable martial artist. He's just so strong he can tank his way through anything.
* UnstoppableRage: Apparently, Broly doesn't like Goku very much.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Broly's common attire.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Both played straight and subverted. Although his power may have something to do with his AxCrazy nature, it is also heavily implied that the life-threatening experiences that he had to endure the day of his birth had a LOT to do with his insanity, perhaps even more than his actual power level itself (which was stated to be 10,000 as a newborn).
* WolverinePublicity: ''Holy shit''. He gives Wolverine a run for his money to regards to the trope. The insane popularity he gained from this movie lead to him get twos sequels and appearing in at least ''fourteen'' different fighting games in Japan.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Broly. See FreudianExcuse for more details.
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Broly's fighting style is more like wrestling moves than the lightning fast movements of the characters in the main series.
* [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair You Gotta Have Lime-Green/Blue/Purple Hair]]: Subverted. Although Broly in this movie, when going Super Saiyan, does have blue hair (purple hair if it is dark outside), it was implied that this was not natural, but a side-effect of his RestrainingBolt. In ''Second Coming'', his hair is the usual golden as a Super Saiyan.

'''''Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan''''' (known in Japan as ''Doragon Bōru Zetto: Moetsukiro!! Nessen Ressen Chō-Gekisen''; lit. "Dragon Ball Z: Burn Up!! A Close, Intense, Super-Fierce Battle") is the eighth ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' movie. The original release date in Japan was on March 6, 1993, between episodes 176 and 177. Due to the popularity of the movie, it spawned two sequels: ''Anime/BrolySecondComing'' and ''Anime/BioBroly''.
Vegeta is lured to the planet New Vegeta by a group of Saiyan survivors in hopes that he will be the king of their new planet. But when he finds that they have ulterior motives of universal domination, he and the Z Warriors must fight Broly, the legendary Super Saiyan.
----
!!Tropes:
* AGodAmI: Inversion: Broly, in the Japanese version of Movie 8 as well as a few of the games, has him describing himself as the devil in response to Piccolo's statement about him being a monster.
-->'''Piccolo:''' Hmph! Damn monster, do your worst!\\
'''Broly:''' Monster? Wrong, I'm the devil!
:: [[MoralGuardians Amazingly enough]] even the Italian dub [[{{Woolseyism}} retains that line]] (only with "Demonio" (fiend) instead of "Diavolo" (devil).
* AssholeVictim: Paragus
* AxCrazy: Made more frightening by Broly's overwhelming power, and TropeCodifier for AxCrazy BloodKnight characters. His insanity makes Frieza and Cell seem normal and is on par with Kid Buu.
* {{Badass}}: Broly kicks ass in all of his appearances, but it's best seen in his first movie, in which he beats the crap out of the Z Warriors ''without breaking a sweat''. This is the most likely reason for him being a BreakoutVillain, not to mention getting a Super Saiyan 3 transformation.
* BadassMustache: Paragus boast one.
* BerserkButton: Anything resembling Goku. Or, as Broly likes to put it: "KAKAROTTOO~!".
** Thinking of Goku's crying when they were both 1-day old incensed him out of Paragus' mind control.
* BlatantLies: In a desperate attempt to save himself from Broly, he tells him that he's preparing a rocket so that they can both escape Comet Camori, despite clearly being in an escape pod meant for one passenger. Broly isn't convinced for one second.
* BloodKnight: Other than the obvious fact that Broly is a Saiyan, he is positively ''delighted'' when the Z-warriors refused to yield and are prepared to fight him ''to the bitter end.''
--->'''Broly:''' ''"Knowing you have no chance of victory, and yet you '''still''' fight on? You have my respect; you are '''truly''' worthy of your Saiyan blood!!"''
* BlingOfWar: One piece counts as Broly's PowerLimiter (and possibly a HypnoTrinket) and is indistinguishable from his other gem-encrusted pieces of gold.
* BreakoutVillain: If his numerous appearances in video games is not enough, he has the most of all movie characters by a long shot and even more than some main characters as well, the fact one of these games (''Supersonic Warriors 2'') ''actually'' [[HeelFaceTurn redeems]] him should settle it.
* TheBrute: Broly is one of the most {{Badass}} examples in anime, but he's merely a DragonInChief for his father in the first movie.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: Both Broly's hair and his BattleAura have a slight green tint when he enters his Legendary Super Saiyan form.
** When Broly turns into a regular, non-Legendary Super Saiyan, his RestrainingBolt makes his hair turn blue instead of golden.
* CompetitiveBalance: One might remember Broly being a lot faster in his debut movie than he is in video games, this was clearly made to stick him in TheBrute role and disregard his LightningBruiser stats to even things out in the games; hits hard and moves slowly, rather than the broken hits hard and moves fast.
* DarkMessiah: Broly is the Saiyan race's [[MessianicArchetype messiah]]. ''The'' Legendary Super Saiyan, a born paragon of everything their race stands for; fighting, killing, and destruction. As if to hammer this one home, Funimation decided to name the sequel ''Second Coming''.
* DidYouActuallyBelieve: Broly says this regarding Paragus' belief that he'd die from Comet Camori colliding with New Planet Vegeta shortly after [[SelfMadeOrphan exacting]] [[TheDogBitesBack revenge]] on his father, implying that he's strong enough to survive the destruction of the planet in his LSSJ form.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Broly hates Goku with a murderous passion because shortly after they were both born, ''Goku's crying bothered him.''
* DissonantSerenity: Paragus describing the complete ruination of his plans and the inevitability of the universe's destruction now that Broly's broken free from his control, as if he's imagined the possibility for years but the actual terror of its arrival has long-since passed.
* TheDogBitesBack: See SelfMadeOrphan.
* TheDreaded: Even ''Vegeta'' was terrified of Broly.
* DeusExMachina: [[spoiler:Goku defeats Broly from one punch in the gut and in a process that seems to literally tear him apart.]]
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Before the Buu Saga, Paragus actually looks his age than Goku and Vegeta did. Vegeta actually explains Saiyans retain their youth in their prime so they can fight longer. But hey, being non-canon has its quirks.
* EmeraldPower: Contrary to any other Super Saiyan, Broly's aura is greenish. Implied to be a result of the MindControl device that was used on him.
* EvilCounterpart: Shares many similarities with Goku, such as being born almost simultaneously and sharing character elements from the original Monkey King of ''Literature/JourneyToTheWest''. See MythologyGag below for more details.
** Also being a much more unstable version of Gohan with a less supportive father.
** A number of fans noted he's basically a pure-blooded Saiyan version of Future Trunks: He has a similar relationship with his father, with him being far more powerful than him, and in addition to his normal Super Saiyan form, he has another transformation that significantly bulks him up, gives him ProphetEyes etc.
* FestivalEpisode: The movie takes place during Hanami, [[CrappyHolidays and involves one of the most brutal battles in the franchise's history]]. The final shot has cherry blossoms flowing past the screen.
* FlatCharacter: He hates Kakarot and he's really powerful. That's all there really is to know about Broly.
* FreudianExcuse: The movie heavily implies that, besides Kakarot's crying, one of the biggest reasons for the way he is is because of life-threatening events related to Broly's birth. King Vegeta was so scared of his abnormal power that he tried to execute him as a child. He survived, only to watch as Frieza destroyed Planet Vegeta (according to ''[[VideoGame/DragonBallZBudokai Shin Budokai]]'', this is what made him so unhinged in general). Later on in life, his father placed him under the control of a slave crown, initially out of fear of his power, but afterwards, he was used to destroy even more planets than before against his own will, which probably factored more hate into his father.
* HypnoTrinket: For the first half of the movie, Broly was wearing a crown that was heavily implied to have brainwashed Broly and sapped his will and emotions.
