Tear Jerker / Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan

Go To

  • Broly and Paragus after both their executions, laying in the trash and holding hands waiting to die. After all that had happened, it's pretty tragic to think that at one point, even Broly wanted to protect his father from the planet's explosion.
  • Paragus begging King Vegeta to spare his son's life in that same flashback. Paragus' whole relationship with Broly is tragic, as he truly loves his son but is also unable to find any way around said son's warped mentality other than mind-controlling him. And then, once that control breaks, Broly justifies Paragus' fears by killing him.
    Paragus: What kind of an end to life is this!? Crushed by your own son who once saved your life!?
  • Broly takes one look at the Slave Race originating from Planet Shamo, cowering in fear of him as he mocks their desire to return to their planet. He turns and fires a ki blast at them... which curves upwards and flies through the sky - hitting their homeworld. The tiny aliens begin to cry, and Broly just maniacally laughs at them.
  • The beatdown Broly delivers to Goku at the final act of the movie can also be pretty hard to watch. While Goku being the last man standing as the other heroes are down for good is nothing new for DBZ movies, this one stands out because of how hopeless the whole ordeal is, with Goku not even having a chance to fight back. The whole scenario is a montage of Goku all alone practically being tortured while no one can come to his aid.
