Current Events > What do we think of the Dragon Ball Super Moro arc

(+) Yeah! (+)

Did Toyotaro cook? Is he a hack? Was it just more member berries and recycling story beats? Or did Toyotaro stick the landing?

Will it ever be animated?

Stuck in eternal limbo

It was probably the best arc DBS got, with the only blemish being that it felt the need to change what the Yardrat looked like for seemingly no reason.

The Moro arc isn't in limbo, it's completed.

best Super arc but it still fizzled out in its last third or so. a 6/10 for in a series where the average arc is a 3/10

Moro was great until he became another Cell.

Also, his last wish was lame.

It was great until the end.

is super moro just moro or is there a moro arc and then a super moro arc?

IIRC moro is when frieza got the black stage upgrade?

The part where Goku gut punched him so hard the planet shook was cool to me sadly the finale was kinda ass still better than the granola arc that was garbage what I really want to see animated is the epilogue of Super Hero I liked all of that especially the saiyan brawl at the end and the epilogue chapter after that was a nice little 'and the adventure continues" thing I hope the lawsuit is settled someday and Toyotaro can write more, there's clearly more to tell and he's the only one with Toriyama's notes.

No, Moro is the name of the villain of the arc after Dragon Ball Super's Tournament of Power arc. Right now, it's only in the manga.

Frieza gets the Black transformation in the following also-manga-only arc, Granola the Survivor.

it was decentish

but still not good

the best part was the stuff with vegeta and wanting to atone for the namekians he killed way back when

He literally gave him a fucking senzu bean, again.

Good until the end, like most are saying. I didnt like how (Spoilers for a major part of the arcs plot) Vegeta spent all of that time perfecting his reverse spirit bomb technique so he could be the ace in the hole, only for it to come down to Goku saving everyone yet again. It reeked of Gohans place in the Buu Saga, being touted as the one who will get us to the finish line, only for him to be outclassed quickly.

I think the part where Goku tries to use instant transmission and senses that Moro knows he's spying on him is one of the best moments of any Super arc.

The part where Moro literally pieces Goku's chest with his hand and later when Moro's hand "bounces" off Goku were amazing. Also Merus's sacrifice was handled well even if it didn't stick.

The arc had issues though. Moro seemed to get...less OP as time went on? He was capable of passively absorbing everyone's energy around him by just being there. Then he lost this ability and had to more actively try to do this? It's just bad writing.

Still, I didn't much like how the arc ended. "Planet Moro" seemed like...not something I would end on.

And yeah, Vegeta learning instant transmission only to forget it for...reasons...and have Forced Spirit Fission which likely isn't getting referenced again is...whatever. Actually, it did serve a purpose. Moro absorbing it meant fusion couldn't be used. Nice job helping the bad guys Vegeta!

the moro arc is much like the rest of super full of call backs and references that really dont make sense

bringing yardrat back is a interesting idea but its done so badly

vegeta just randomly goes "i know ill visit planet yardrat and laern from them" and they just happen to have a technique that is perfect for this situation

vegeta did not say "wait i remember once i heard the yardrat know a technique to defuse people" or have goku mention it or something

no vegeta just says he will go to them

bringing back the grand supreme kai even thoe it made no sense (and forgets about south supreme kai)

uub gets a cameo because reasons

oh and unrelated to the above but it was STUPID goku could not use instant transmission to find earth when lost in space

as goku can travel from earth to the home of the supreme kai WHICH IS OUTSIDE OF THE UNIVERSE

Probably the best Super arc. Between that and the TOP. Even the arc after Moro seemed above other arcs in Super. Its a shame the manga has been in limbo for most of this year.

Great until it becomes worse Cell.

I also did not love that part
