Is Broly Strong Enough to Beat Hulk? A Detailed Analysis

When considering whether Broly from the Dragon Ball universe could beat Hulk from the Marvel world, factors such as power levels and transformation abilities become crucial elements to examine. While the original (OG) Broly and the Dragon Ball Super (DBS) Broly are not the same individual, the latter is indeed several times stronger. Join us as we delve into the concept of power levels (PL) and analyze the strength of both warriors, ultimately answering the question of whether Broly can overpower Hulk.

Understanding Power Levels (PL)

In the Dragon Ball world, power levels are a critical factor in determining a character's strength. PL of 5 would be insignificant, such as a farmer with a shotgun (the shotgun, not the farmer). A PL of 180 is equivalent to the power of the Moon Buster (an attack from Vegeta during the confrontation with Frieza in Dragon Ball).

Character Power Levels

PL 5: Farmer with a shotgun. PL 180: Moon Buster (Vegeta). PL 180K to 430K: Planet Buster with effort. PL 530K to 150 Million: Planet Buster without effort (casual). Freeza's PL: Over 100 quadrillion (100Qintillion).

Given these metrics, it becomes clear that the power levels in the Dragon Ball universe are considerably higher than those in the Marvel universe, at least for characters in their higher forms or transformations.

Comparing Goku's Transformations

Goku and Vegeta have achieved considerable strength through transformations such as Saiyan Super Saiyan (SSJ) and Super Saiyan God (SSJG). Goku's current peak, after learning SSJG and engaging in several Zenkai (power boosts) with HI, Zamasu, and Jiren, has a power level above 100 quadrillion. Additionally, the power level of SSJG (Powerful God) is estimated to be around 1.5 quadrillion, indicating that Goku is far beyond a solar system-buster.

Broly, even in his base form, is significantly stronger. His strength is comparable to that of an SSJ, which means he can easily overpower all forms before SSJ in his base form. SSJ1 Broly must be even stronger, and particularly, Limitless Super Saiyan (LSSJ) is an extraordinary form, as evidenced by battles like the one against Kale, wherein she exhibited impossible power levels.

Is Broly Strong Enough to Beat Goku?

Given that LSSJ Broly casually overpowers SSJ-Gogeta, it is evident that his power is substantial. When we consider the calculations, it becomes clear that Broly's power level in his base form is around 100 quadrillion, which is far above the power needed to defeat most characters in the Dragon Ball universe.

The Battle Against Gogeta

Gogeta, the combination of Goku and Vegeta, has a base power level of approximately 2 sextillion (2Sextillion). However, when Gogeta upgrades to SSJB (Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan), his power level multiplies by 5, resulting in 100 sextillion. Broly's LSSJ, even in initial stages, can easily and effortlessly handle this power level, showcasing his extraordinary strength.

Considering the calculations and the battle scenarios, it is plausible that Broly could potentially challenge Hulk, albeit in a significant gravitational field or with similar environmental factors. The exact outcome of such a battle would depend on the specific circumstances, such as the planet's gravity and the characters' health conditions.

Conclusion

While the original Broly is several times weaker than the DBS Broly, the latter is indeed strong enough to challenge and potentially defeat Hulk, given the power levels and transformation abilities in the Dragon Ball universe. However, environmental factors and other variables would play a crucial role in the ultimate outcome of such a battle.

Whether Broly can beat Hulk remains a fascinating question, but it is evident that his strength, especially in his LSSJ form, is a significant factor to consider.
