After a brief burst of static—
"You're Broly, right?"
A rough, arrogant voice came through the scouter.
It was Nappa.
He had clearly been listening the whole time.
"I am," Broly replied calmly.
Then he asked a question that nearly stopped Raditz's heart:
"Are you stronger than Raditz?"
Power Level Talk
Nappa laughed loudly.
"Interesting question! He told you about power levels, right?"
"He did—but not clearly. Explain it properly."
Nappa chuckled, pleased.
"That device you're holding—the scouter—measures power levels."
"Mm."
"Of course, you Earthlings can't read the language on it."
"Get to the point."
"Raditz's power level is 1500," Nappa said proudly.
"Guess mine?"
"Stop stalling."
"…My power level is 4000!"
Broly paused.
Then slowly turned—
Toward his son.
Branch blinked innocently.
"Branch," Broly asked, "when you beat him… how much strength did you use?"
Branch scratched his head.
"My math isn't good… but maybe one ten-thousandth? Probably less."
Everyone's Reaction
Silence.
Then:
Master Roshi adjusted his glassesKrillin frozeSon Goku laughed awkwardlyPiccolo twitched
Piccolo's thoughts were chaotic:
First the father said "one ten-thousandth"… now the son too?!
Is this a family tradition?!
The Calculation
"Bulma, do you have a calculator?" Broly asked seriously.
"…What are you calculating?"
"Raditz is 1500. If Branch used one ten-thousandth of his power, what's his full power?"
Bulma paused.
Then answered instantly:
"15,000,000."
Broly nodded with admiration.
"You're amazing."
Bulma: "..."
Raditz: "..."
Nappa Laughs Again
"15 million?!" Nappa exploded in laughter again.
"You people don't understand power levels at all!"
Broly ignored the mockery.
"What about your other companion?"
"You mean Vegeta? His power level is 18,000."
Broly's Reaction
"…That's it?"
Broly sighed.
"If that's all… you probably shouldn't come."
Then muttered:
"Is there really no one strong in this universe?"
Nappa's face darkened.
"You don't want us to come? Now we definitely will!"
Frieza Mentioned
"Who's the strongest person you know?" Broly asked.
"Of course it's Frieza!" Nappa replied with reverence.
"Frieza…?"
Broly frowned.
"That name… sounds familiar…"
"Frieza is like an emperor of the universe!" Nappa declared.
"An emperor, huh…" Broly rubbed his hands.
"Bring him too."
Silence.
Nappa was speechless.
Arrival Time
"How long until you get here?"
"…About 10 months."
Broly looked disappointed.
"So long…"
"Of course! Space travel isn't instant!"
"…Fine," Broly said.
"But come. And don't forget to bring Frieza."
"You'll regret this!" Nappa snapped before cutting the call.
Broly's Thoughts
Broly looked up at the stars.
For years, his life had become:
Too easyToo boringToo peaceful
Even food meant nothing now—thanks to the Cornucopia.
Even games had lost their charm.
Being invincible… was lonely.
But now—
A spark returned.
"Frieza… the emperor of the universe…"
A faint smile appeared.
"Hope you don't disappoint me."
Scouter Test
Broly snapped back to reality.
"You said this thing measures power levels?"
"Yes…" Raditz nodded nervously.
"Check mine."
Raditz hesitated.
"…My scouter might be faulty…"
"It showed Branch's power as 2…"
He quickly corrected:
"—Branch young master's power…"
"Normal," Broly said calmly.
"He wasn't releasing his energy."
Raditz froze.
Releasing… energy?
"Just measure it."
Broly slightly relaxed—
And released a tiny fraction of his power.
Scouter Explosion
"Beep… beep… BEEP—"
The numbers skyrocketed.
Then—
BOOM!!
The scouter exploded in Raditz's face.
Smoke. Sparks. Silence.
Raditz stood frozen.
It… exploded?
His scouter could measure up to nearly 20,000.
Which meant—
Broly exceeded that instantly.
Impossible…
Raditz panicked internally.
Vegeta is a genius… no one surpasses him…
Right?
"…Right?"
Bulma Steps In
"What junk quality," Broly frowned.
"It's broken… faulty…" Raditz stammered.
"I can fix it," Bulma stepped forward.
"You can?"
"I'll try."
She dismantled the device skillfully.
After inspection:
"I can repair it. Maybe even improve it."
"Good."
Broly nodded.
Then looked at Raditz.
"Next—you fix my house."
Raditz forced a smile.
"Yes… of course…"
End Scene
"Let's go," Broly said.
He boarded the helicopter.
