‘Dragon Ball Super’ Fans Freaking Out Over New Villain’s Moro’s Ruthless Ways

Dragon Ball Super‘s new manga arc, “Galactic Patrol Prisoner”, has introduced a powerful new villain called Planet-Eater Moro into the franchise, and he’s sure been making his presence felt! In just a few short chapters of the manga, Moro has escaped from Galactic Patrol Prison after a million-year stint; invaded the hidden planet of New Namek; revealed an array of deadly new magical powers; shut down Goku and Vegeta’s Super Saiyan process; and nearly beat the two Saiyans to death!

Needless to say, this display of savage power by Moro is getting Dragon Ball fans hyped! Of course, given that this is a manga/anime fandom we’re talking about, the range of reactions is pretty wide, and very contentious. As you will see below, for every fan that is loving Dragon Ball once again offering fans a truly menacing and dangerous villain, there is another who thinks Moro is just the latest in a long line of gimmicks the franchise has been steadily pulling out.

Scroll below to see fan reactions to Moro’s ruthless campaign of destruction in Dragon Ball Super!

G.O.A.T. #SAVAGE

In terms of sheer ruthleness in both injuring and killing (and consuming) his opponents, Moro definitely gives Dragon Ball Z‘s Imperfect Cell or Kid Buu a run for their money. 

Heating Things Up

Indeed, Dragon Ball Super is getting more exciting with each new chapter – largely thanks to Moro. 

Classic Dragon Ball

Dragon Ball does so enjoy echoing its own past exploits in new stories, and Moro is definitely a throwback to some of the big magic/demonic villains from the original series.

To the Point

Simple. Straightforward. ? Correct. 

Dumb Villains GTFO

Moro had Goku and Vegeta on the brink of death, but leaves them alive because he thinks they pose no real threat. That’s kind of a cheesy Dragon Ball cop-out that (shocker) will later prove to be Moro’s undoing. 

Legendary Sadist

The final panel of this new issue sees the New Namkeians place all their hopes on a mass fusion of warriors that creates a legendary Namek champion. Unfortunately, dude doesn’t even get to Moro before the villain punches a hole right through his abdomen, killing him instantly. Moro’s subsequent trash talk is second to none as far as Dragon Ball villain go. 

The Incomparable

Moro has Dragon Ball fans so spoiled that some of them can’t even respect the old foes anymore! 

The Next

Yes, fans now can’t wait to see how Goku and Vegeta are going to deal with the biggest threat they’ve ever faced and till come out on top, when Moro now owns their Super Saiyan powers, leaving them without them for the first time since facing Freeza on Namek in DBZ!
