Bzzzzz...

The official name of this plant is Aggro Brocco. However, a literal translation can be found in its infobox. The official name is to be used on all pages that refer to this plant.

Aggro Brocco (大力花菜; pinyin: dàlì huācài) is a plant in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 and Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West. He picks up zombies using a suplex and throws them onto the ground, dealing 200 damage per shot. He can do this twice in a row before having to rest for 15 seconds. He can also work as a defensive plant.

Origins

Aggro Brocco in Journey to the West is based on cauliflower, an annual plant that reproduces by seed and a vegetable. Whereas his appearance in the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2 is based on broccoli.

His Chinese name for both versions, "大力花菜", translates to "Vigorous Cauliflower", despite his appearance in Plants vs. Zombies 2 being based on a Broccoli. This is because "cauliflower" and "broccoli" share a word in Chinese.

His name is a combination of the words "aggro" (a short form of the word "aggressive" or “angry”), referring to his ability and "brocco", the real-life plant his Plants vs. Zombies 2 appearance is based on (in which the word "li" was intentionally removed for rhyming purpose).

Trivia

General

• He and Grave Buster are the only plants in the franchise to be different species of plants between games.

Specific to Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West (Archived content)

• His seed packet was the same as one for an upgrade plant, even though it was not an upgrade plant.
• When he grabbed a Snorkel Zombie, it only showed the head.

Specific to Plants vs. Zombies 2

• Despite being based on broccoli, his Chinese name still translates to "Vigorous Cauliflower". This is because of Chinese use the same name for both "cauliflower" and "broccoli" due to their similarities.
• When Plant Food is used on costumed Aggro Brocco, he makes the same noise that Bonk Choy (when twirling the zombie around) and Citron make when given Plant Food (when throwing the zombie).
• When he attacks, he makes the same noise Squash makes (when the zombie hits the ground from the suplex).
• With Plant Food, he can even grab a Zombie Parrot (as he is normally unable to), and toss it like his costumed Plant Food projectile (if costumed).
• He and Ampthurium are the only two Chinese exclusive plants that have multiple costumes.
  • In Aggro Brocco's case, he wears a superhero mask on Android and a Santa hat on iOS.
