Super-Warrior Defeat!! I'm the One who'll Win (超戦士撃破!!勝つのはオレだ, Sūpā Senshi Gekiha!! Katsu No wa Ore da) is the eleventh Dragon Ball Z movie. Released in Japan on July 28th 1994. FUNimation named this movie as Bio-Broly.

Summary

Introduction

The film opens with a group of strangely colored humanoids emerging from tanks in a laboratory. The scientists responsible for these creations are congratulated by their employer, Mr. Jaguar, who plans to make these "Bio-Humans" into the strongest fighters on Earth. Despite warnings from his cousin, Men-Men, Jaguar laughs maniacally as one of his not-yet-finished bio-humans wags his furry tail in his tank.

The Bio Mutants

As Hercule hasn't yet paid Android 18 the prize money she demanded for letting him beat her in the World Martial Arts Tournament, she begins smashing Hercule's mansion up, particularly his undeserved prizes from the tournament. Hercule, cowering, tries to tell 18 that he hasn't gotten the money yet, but she doesn't believe him, and continues to ransack his home. Hercule's screams of fright are heard by Krillin, Marron, Trunks, and Goten, who are waiting for 18.

Hercule is visited by Men-Men, who claims to be the cousin of Hercule's old martial arts rival, Jaguar. It seems that Jaguar is blackmailing Hercule into visiting his laboratory island to fight his bio-fighters. Hercule agrees, and departs with Men-Men, followed by 18, Trunks, and Goten.

Upon arriving, Hercule is coldly greeted by Jaguar, who sets up a tournament for Hercule to fight the bio-fighters, but when they demonstrate their incredible fighting abilities which are more than which Hercule can handle, Goten, Trunks, and 18 intervene. Goten and Trunks are then confronted by a familiar face: The Priest from Nataday Village whom they met in the previous movie.

Enraged, Jaguar reveals his greatest weapon: a Super Bio-Fighter. But when Trunks and Goten see the Super Bio-Fighter, they recognize him as none other than the Legendary Super Saiyan himself, Broly. They confront the priest, who tells them that he sold Broly's frozen blood to Jaguar, and that the Bio-Broly is Broly's clone. Trunks and Goten prepare to destroy Bio-Broly before he can be revived, but seeing Goten has already awakened Broly's Saiyan instincts. He breaks out of stasis, only to be drenched in the bio-liquid and turn into a horribly deformed bio-mutant, giving him the name Bio-Broly.

Battling the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly: Round 3

Jaguar commands Bio-Broly to attack Hercule, but 18 intervenes at the last minute, only to get pounded by the Bio-Saiyan. Just before Bio-Broly can kill Hercule, Goten and Trunks intervene and save him in time. They then attack Bio-Broly head-on, and prove to be an equal match for the Bio-Saiyan, until Goten abandones the battle to save some trapped scientists from the flooding and dangerous bio-liquid that will absorb anything with a different genetic structure to its own and grow stronger.

As Bio-Broly pounds Trunks around, 18 recovers and tries to stop him, but she too is beaten. Just before Bio-Broly can kill her, Krillin shows up in time and rescues 18, but Bio-Broly finds them both and almost kills them. Goten and Trunks then fight Bio-Broly again, but they get seriously pounded, and Bio-Broly almost kills Goten until Trunks devises a way to get rid of the bio-menace.

Trunks manages to lure Bio-Broly into a corner, where he blasts the bio-liquid tanks, causing them to shower on Bio-Broly and supposedly melt him. Unfortunately, this only makes the bio-liquid more powerful, and it soon starts to flood the entire island, and possibly the whole planet. Goten, Trunks, Krillin and 18 manage to get as much people as they can out of the lab, including the reluctant Jaguar and Men-Men, who want to die shamefully along with their deadly creations, but Trunks rescues them anyway, and Hercule manages to escape by jumping into the water.

To everyone's surprise, the bio-liquid seems to be solidifying by touching the sea water, so Trunks, Goten, and Krillin use a triple kamehameha wave to blast the water by the island so high that the entire island is flooded with sea water, which solidifies all the bio-liquid. Unfortunately, the celebrations are cut short when Bio-Broly emerges from the sea as a giant! However, as fast as Bio-Broly emerges, he then turns to stone, due to having been drenched in sea water. Seeing their chance, Goten and Trunks blast the gigantic Bio-Broly statue into smithereens, ridding the universe of Broly for good.

Hercule emerges from the sea water, calling for help. Laughing her head off, 18 says that she will only help him if he promises to pay her 100,000,000 zeni. Fuming, Hercule swims off.

In the Otherworld, Goku is informed that Broly is causing trouble in Hell. Along with Pikkon, Goku is sent to stop Broly.
