I have to agree Moro was the main villain from 2018 to 2021 and has no at all character whatsoever we don't even know what his thing with the Grand Supreme Kai because Toyo did nothing at all with itSupremeKai25 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 02, 2020 4:39 pmOh I'm not saying they should write Moro as a morally grey villain, it's way too late for that.

It's so weird. Toriyama devoted an entire backstory to explain how Cell or Zamasu got the powers they have in the current storyline, so why exactly can Moro consume life? Where does the ability to eat planets come from? What's the source of that magic? NO OTHER CHARACTER has it, so very clearly it must be something he developed, or knowledge only he found... Imagine if Toriyama never revealed Cell's origins, his powers would be completely unexplained. Same thing here.
I'll say one thing though: If Toei is just going to give Moro a dumb 2-minutes long flashback in the middle of a fight (like they did with a certain annoying grey alien), then they shouldn't even bother.
Consider this just a suggestion to make this dumb goat a bit less forgettable.
I agree it's an intresting concept to give Moro a more profound origin story, that's connected to the already established lore.
But maybe you are expecting too much. I somehow doubt TOEI will delve that deep.
With the Zamasu arc Toriyama basically wrote his "fall to the dark side" in the basic plotline.
Now, it clearly isn't included.
With Moro, they will have to come from far.
TOEI could and should give us something more and slightly different, but i'm afraid the basic plotoutline for the arc is a little too thin for a more thorough character driven story like with Zamasu.
They can of course always surprise us ...
Zamasu has Goku's power because he stole his body, and has immortality because he made a wish to the Super Dragon Balls.
Majin Buu has immense destructive power because he's an ancient monster who cyclically destroys galaxies then goes into hibernation.
Cell has the powers of all Z Fighters because he's an android created from their combined DNA.
Frieza is feared as the Emperor of the universe because he's a prodigy/mutant from an already strong species.
Vegeta is a very powerful Saiyan because he's the prince of a warrior race, he's elite.
And so on...
It's a complaint I had about Jiren too. How exactly did he get so powrful? Why is it that this weak little orphan is even stronger than the Gods of Destruction?
Only the most ambitious villains should have their motivations explained, but every villain should have their POWER explained, don't you think? And so I'm left wondering... why can Moro consume life, exactly? Where does his dark magic come from? Is he like a sorcerer from the Demon Realm or...? He looks like the Devil, so is this what Toriyama was going for? Is he like an important figure from the Demon Realm/Hell of the DBverse?
Beerus and Freeza have some type of relationship with damn near everybody in U7 now.
Black had Zamasu, Gowasu, Future Trunks, Goku, Vegeta, and Mai.
Hit is the strongest dude in U6 and everybody there knows who he is and loves him, The Saiyans wanted to help him during his pride trooper fights during the top arc several times which means we know he's a hero, not to mention he's still alive.
Jiren already started to improve as a character during the final stages of the top arc and will continue he already promised to Toppo to Train and open up to the other pride troopers.
Moro is done and has not got a single interesting relationship with anybody of note at all, the only one that comes close is the Grand Supreme Kai who Toyo benched heavily and didn't bother. And he was the main villain from 2018 to 2021.
Like I have said before Toyo cannot develop characters at all, that entire sacrifice thing from Merus fell flat for me because we didn't know jack about Merus.
