When it comes to anime power scaling, few franchises reach the levels of Dragon Ball. Much of the entire story is based around strength and the need to level up, which has taken the main characters from being martial arts prodigies to eventually reaching such outrageous levels of strength that they exist at the level of the Gods.
As such, Broly is perhaps the greatest example of this otherworldly strength, as his innate potential allowed him to surpass Goku and Vegeta in his first-ever proper fight. Because of this, most fans have put him as perhaps the greatest berserker powerhouse in anime as a whole, and even these other powerful characters wouldn’t stand a chance against him.

Even Gear 5 Wouldn’t Be Able to Save Luffy
Series: One Piece
What viewers initially believed to be Luffy’s Paramecia fruit was eventually revealed to have been the legendary Sun God Nika Mythical Zoan fruit, which gave the One Piece hero the most absurd and outrageous powers in the entire series. When he awoke this form against Kaido, Luffy was shown to perform feats that seemed to warp reality, making him one of One Piece’s strongest figures.
However, despite its incredible abilities, even Gear 5 would fail to harm Broly in the slightest. In fact, Broly, in his base form, would effortlessly erase Luffy from the face of the planet, since the power scaling and sheer strength gap between both universes is simply too great to ignore. Despite having the power to manipulate reality, Luffy would be way out of his depth against Broly.

Even All-Might’s Power Is Miniscule Against Broly
Series: My Hero Academia
As the most powerful hero in the entire My Hero Academia series, All Might exists as a picture of heroism and strength in the world. Owing to his incredible Quirk, known as One For All, his strength, speed, reflexes, and overall power are at the highest level, which have all gone into making him the Number 1 Ranked Hero as well as arguably the series’ strongest base character.
Against the Legendary Super Saiyan, All Might actually makes for an interesting fight on paper, considering his similarity to Broly’s own physical strength. However, in practice, the gap between them is far too large, and since Broly operates far beyond the multiversal scale, All Might simply wouldn’t be able to do anything against him.

Gojo’s Infinity Still Wouldn’t Stop Broly
Series: Jujutsu Kaisen
As the face of the Jujutsu Kaisen franchise, Gojo has become one of the most recognizable and beloved anime characters of all time. Not only is his strength absolute, but he is also one of the best-written characters in modern anime, and paired with his unbelievable power, he is known as one of the greatest figures of strength in the entire industry.
When it comes to fan power scaling, Gojo is definitely thought of as a wild card. Of course, he doesn’t exist at multiversal tiers of strength and destructive power like some others, but his Infinity is an incredible defense that most don’t have an answer for. However, as seen with Sukuna’s World Cutting Slash, Infinity can be overcome by attacks that transcend its dimensional limits, and seeing how Broly broke the dimensional barrier against Gogeta, it comes as no surprise that he would easily put an end to the Limitless Sorcerer.

Madara’s Strength Wouldn’t Save Him Against Broly
Series: Naruto
Towards the end of the original Naruto series, Naruto and Sasuke were pitted as the most powerful Shinobi of them all. However, Madara had a much greater case of falling into this category, especially considering how he made himself the Jinchuriki of the Ten-Tails and was only defeated by the plot.
Despite his amazing powers in his ultimate state by the end of Naruto, Madara’s strength is far below someone who exists on multiversal tiers like Broly. Due to the Saiyan’s incredible ability to erase entire planets without any meaningful effort, he would likely end Madara before he even realized, though the threat of Tsukuyomi should definitely be considered.

Yhwach Is the Ultimate Villain of His Franchise
Series: Bleach
As the most powerful character in Bleach, Yhwach is a terrifying villain who is almost impossible to fight against, owing to his overpowered ability known as The Almighty. This power allows him to perceive all possible futures and freely alter and jump into those that would be favorable towards him, which is why the main characters of Bleach were only able to beat him through specific means.
A fight between Yhwach and Broly would be quite interesting compared to those that came before him on this list, since Bleach scales higher than the others. However, Broly’s sheer strength and speed are far too much for the villain to even react to, which has made many fans state that any future that Yhwach sees would have him losing, negating his ability entirely.

Sung Jinwoo May Be a Match For Broly
Series: Solo Leveling
As the Shadow Monarch, Sung Jinwoo eventually grows to multiversal levels to become the most powerful character in his entire universe. Due to his powers to manipulate and control darkness, Jinwoo’s arsenal consists of millions of shadow soldiers who are entirely subservient to him, and his general power scaling exists at levels that Dragon Ball fans are quite familiar with.
The debate about Jinwoo’s strength compared to that of the main characters of Dragon Ball is quite a contentious one, since most who have finished the manhwa know about how great his power eventually grows. It’s honestly a toss-up between who would win in a fight between him and Broly, with camps being split to either side.

Saitama Would Be an Amazing Fight for Broly
Series: One Punch Man
Easily one of the best things to ever happen to anime power scaling is the introduction of Saitama, who exists as a parody of the insane jumps in strength that the shonen genre is known for. To make such a parody, Saitama exists as a person whose strength is already at the very highest level, allowing him to defeat the most powerful cosmic threats with a single punch.
Saitama is most often put up against Goku in hypothetical battles, and it’s clear to see why, as his strength transcends dimensions and makes him the greatest figure in his entire universe. His nature as a parody character is the reason why he will always be one of the strongest characters in fiction, and a hypothetical match-up against Broly would be one of the best to see.
