Dragon Ball Super fans tend to have favorite fighters, and Broly is at the top of that list for millions. Despite being a movie-only villain back in the day, Broly's legendary power and fighting prowess made him a fan favorite. Of course, his status only surged in popularity when Dragon Ball Super made the villain canon, and his softer side was shown to the world. This means tons of netizens expect Broly to become an involved piece of the franchise, but a recent interview has fans debating how powerful Broly really is.

So, first, let's break things down. The whole thing began when Toyotaro sat down for an interview to talk all things Dragon Ball. It was there the artist touched upon the manga's take on Goku and Vegeta. But when he was asked about the strongest warriors out there, things got weird with the fandom.

Toyotaro said it was important for Goku and Vegeta to have room to grow despite their current power levels. "There's plenty more," the artist shared. "There's Whis, and of course, Beerus and the Grand Priest."

However, in the video chat, it is the man who's interviewing that brings up Broly. Victory Uchida is the only one who nods to the Saiyan, so Toyotaro makes no mention of the hero. He focuses on just three Dragon Ball Super warriors, and it is hard to make out any facial cues about Broly's mention. Toyotaro's face is masked by an avatar, and Uchida's expression is also masked up.

Over on Twitter, Dragon Ball Super fans began to pass this chat around, but Broly became a focal point. Obviously, the character is very popular with netizens, and their recent move into the canon has only doubled that love. There's no doubt Broly is insanely strong, and he gave Goku a run for it back in the day. His absence from this interview has left some fans worried, but others are glad to see other characters listed in this chat. But no matter what, well - it goes without saying that Broly's story is far from over.
