The 2018 Dragon Ball Super: Broly film actually puts these two in direct contact — Frieza deliberately provokes Broly by killing his father Paragus, triggering the Legendary Super Saiyan transformation. Canonically, Broly overwhelms Frieza completely, leading Frieza to desperately try to stay alive for an hour until Goku and Vegeta return. The debate for the wider fandom is about their absolute peaks: Frieza in Black Frieza form — shown in the manga — is significantly above his DBS Broly film incarnation, while Broly's power ceiling is explicitly described as having no upper limit through his Legendary Super Saiyan transformation. Most analysts give Broly the edge due to his limitless power ceiling, but Black Frieza's confirmed feats challenge this.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who would win, Broly or Frieza?
At DBS Broly film power levels, Broly wins — he canonically overwhelms Frieza. At absolute current peaks — Legendary Super Saiyan Broly vs Black Frieza — the debate is more contested. Black Frieza one-shot both Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta simultaneously in the manga, which arguably places him above DBS Broly. Most analysts consider this extremely close at peak-vs-peak.
Is Broly stronger than Frieza?
In Dragon Ball Super: Broly, yes — Broly overwhelms Golden Frieza entirely. At their absolute peaks, comparing Legendary Super Saiyan Broly to Black Frieza is genuinely contested. Black Frieza's manga feats — one-shotting both Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta — suggest a power ceiling above Broly's DBS film incarnation, though Broly's limitless growth means a sustained fight may still favour him.
What is Black Frieza?
Black Frieza is Frieza's most powerful form, introduced in the Dragon Ball Super manga. After being revived following the Tournament of Power, Frieza spent ten years training inside a Hyperbolic Time Chamber and achieved this new transformation. In its debut, Black Frieza one-shot both Goku in Mastered Ultra Instinct and Vegeta in Ultra Ego simultaneously — suggesting it operates significantly above both their power levels.
Can Broly's power keep growing indefinitely?
Broly's Legendary Super Saiyan transformation is explicitly described as having no upper power limit — his power continuously grows as he fights. This is the defining characteristic that separates him from other Super Saiyan transformations. In practice, fights rarely last long enough for this to reach its theoretical maximum, but in a prolonged fight, Broly's power scaling should theoretically exceed any finite ceiling.
