Ten million years ago, the magician Moro battled against Universe 7's [[Dai Kaiōshin]], attacking with comets and eating planets to absorb their life energy. The Dai Kaiōshin was forced to use the [[Kai-Kai Matoru]], a technique of his own original creation, to seal away Moro's magic, allowing the [[Galactic Police]] (predecessors to the [[Galactic Patrol]]) to lock him away in the Galactic Prison for his various crimes (which included the destruction of the [[Iragi]] star system and bringing about mass extinction on 320 planets). Though Moro was sentenced to death, no one could actually kill him, so he was instead given life imprisonment. | Ten million years ago, the magician Moro battled against Universe 7's [[Dai Kaiōshin]], attacking with comets and eating planets to absorb their life energy.

Biography
Ten million years ago, the magician Moro battled against Universe 7's Dai Kaiōshin, attacking with comets and eating planets to absorb their life energy. The Dai Kaiōshin was forced to use the Kai-Kai Matoru, a technique of his own original creation, to seal away Moro's magic, allowing the Galactic Police (predecessors to the Galactic Patrol) to lock him away in the Galactic Prison for his various crimes (which included the destruction of the Iragi star system and bringing about mass extinction on 320 planets). Though Moro was sentenced to death, no one could actually kill him, so he was instead given life imprisonment.
In the present day, Merusu seeks out Majin Boo on Earth in an attempt to gain access to the Dai Kaiōshin, whom Boo absorbed five million years ago. After kidnapping Boo and inadvertently recruiting Son Goku and Vegeta in the process, the group receive a lock on Moro's location: passing through sector KT40. Goku attempts to lock onto Moro's ki signature, and is met with Moro sensing him back; Goku notes that Moro's ki itself was not large, but that it was terrifying, as if many people were screaming in pain.[1]
Albeit at a greatly-diminished level, a bit of Moro's magic returned a few years back, allowing him to break free of his imprisonment. Moro travels through space toward the new Planet Namek with Cranberi, an ex-member of the Freeza Force, who explains the details of the Dragon Balls to Moro. Goku teleports to Namek with Vegeta just as Moro arrives. Moro uses telekinesis to take a young Namekian hostage, prompting Vegeta to jump into action. Moro's abilities appear to work against Vegeta as a Super Saiyan, who then uses Super Saiyan God to gain an advantage.

Name
Any underlying pun or reference source with Moro's name (モロ Moro) is currently unknown.
Production
Alongside the publication of the Dragon Ball Super manga series' 42nd chapter in November 2018, as well as in promotion of the then-forthcoming Dragon Ball Super: Broly theatrical film, the official V-Jump website held a voting campaign for Goku's greatest battle, where visitors could read a brief synopsis of the upcoming arc and had a chance at receiving Toyotarō's special image of the prisoner.[8]
Goku vs. the Mysterious, Formidable Foe: "The Escaped Prisoner"
A mysterious foe who appears in the new chapter, the "Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc"! Just what is it about this felon who escaped from the Galactic Penitentiary...?
— V-Jump Official Website
Dragon Ball Super manga artist Toyotarō provided a pre-written comment on the arc for Jump Festa 2019, in which he noted his collaboration with original Dragon Ball author Akira Toriyama on the manga-original "Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc"[9]:
At last, the "Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc" has begun! It's a story that takes place after the Broli movie. Naturally, it's a completely new work that hasn't been animated, and can't be read except as a comic. The prisoner Moro, who has been locked away in the Galactic Penitentiary for 10 million years, has escaped. Will Goku and Vegeta, who have become Galactic Patrolmen, along with the Elite Patrolman Merusu, be able to capture Moro once more?! For the "Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc", I'm tag-teaming with Toriyama-sensei, producing it to great acclaim! I'd like it to be an enjoyable story that can give you all excitement and suspense, so by all means, please look forward to it.
— Toyotarō
