Dragon Ball Z: Broly – Second Coming

Dragon Ball Z: Broly – Second Coming is the sequel to The Legendary Super Saiyan, picking up years later when Broly crash-lands on Earth and enters a regenerative sleep, awakening when Goten's crying resembles the infant Kakarot who traumatized him. With Goku still deceased at this point in the timeline, the film falls to Gohan, Trunks, and Goten — child-age Saiyans — to face an opponent that defeated the full adult Z Fighter roster in the previous film. The film is built around the novelty of watching three children attempt to stand against the Legendary Super Saiyan.

Second Coming is generally considered weaker than the original Broly film, primarily because the lack of Goku removes the personal connection between protagonist and antagonist that made the original work. The film leans heavily on nostalgia for Broly's iconic design rather than developing him further. A fusion climax involving Gohan, Gotenks, and a posthumous Goku Kamehameha is a crowd-pleasing conclusion, but the path to it is uneven. Non-canonical and significantly shorter than the original, it is primarily of interest to Broly fans who want to see the character in a subsequent adventure.
