The film one is this (2:01), so I’m not referring to a Vegeta statement in the film.Well of course. I’m not saying it’s never been called LSSJ before—But the best we get is like, a few times in promos, and often not the more reputable ones. And yeah it is called Legendary Super Saiyan sometimes, but that’s not what it is in story. For example, in the (Subbed) DBS Anime, Vegeta {when talking about LSSJ Kale} suggests that it’s simply “A Saiyan’s True Form.” I don’t recall Broly ever being mentioned to potentially be the Legend in film, but even if it was by like, Vegeta (who as established on Namek has no idea what one actually is), he’d be wrong.
The Legendary Super Saiyan in the Super Continuity was a regular ol’ Super Saiyan who died in vain and then wandered the Universe as a Spirit searching for a Saviour, the Super Saiyan God. There IS no “reoccurring 1000 years monster” in U7. According to Toriyama, there’s just Super Saiyan—Which is why when it was made for the film, there WASN’T a green haired form. Toriyama just doesn’t have it existing. Shintani made it up because he wanted to maintain the image of Z Broly he had in his head from his childhood.
The only in story place I can directly think of that actually cites the Legend is the Manga. And that was corrected in the re-release because it makes no sense. U6 has no Super Saiyan myth, after all, because it never existed in their reality. So the closest we get is “Demonic Saiyan” or “Legendary Saiyan.” And even then, at no point in the story are Broly and Kale ever referenced to be similar, even when they OBVIOUSLY are.
What I mean to say is that Broly isn’t the LSSJ. He has a form that is LSSJ in visuals only, and if referenced, only in light of meta-aware tertiary canon. There is no legendary monster—Just ordinary Super Saiyan. Any reference to a monster was a warped retelling of Yamoshi. And even when there is, Broly isn’t connected to it in any way. Only Kale, and given there’s no such thing as SSJ in U6, likely not LSSJ, but a separate phenomenon entirely. Even if it was the same, (and just what U6 called LSSJs because they didn’t know better) it still wouldn’t include DBS Broly at all—Who is the main point.
Edit: Also, Broly’s form would be Super Saiyan (Full Power), {as annotated in all games} because Grade 4 is already called Full Power Super Saiyan.
I’m aware that Kale is referred to as the Legendary Saiyan, that’s what I was trying to show earlier. Though I could’ve swore in the manga or anime somewhere that there’s a story about a rampaging saiyan who destroys things, but I can’t find it so I’ll assume that was my bad memory.
Grade 4 is called Super Saiyan Full Power, Broly’s form is called Full Power Super Saiyan or Super Saiyan (Full Power) which just means FP SSJ. It’s differentiated because of the grade 4 form.
