Dragon Ball Super finally has a villain stronger than the gods

Eight years after Dragon Ball Super anime ended, a sequel to the series was finally announced at Dragon Ball Genkidamatsuri earlier this year. Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol finally adapts Toyotarou's Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga. Set immediately after the events Dragon Ball Super: BrolyGoku and Vegeta are drafted into the Galactic Patrol when the patrol's most dangerous prisoner breaks free and heads to Namek for the Dragon Balls.

Planet-Eater Moro is one of the most powerful villains in the world Dragon Ball a franchise that surpasses even Jiren and Broly in full force. Moro grows stronger by consuming worlds—literally. Able to consume the energy of all living things, Moro becomes a legitimate threat to the gods by the end of the Galactic Patrol Captive Saga. Jiren was a god-of-destruction-level threat during the Tournament of Power, but Moro is far more powerful and ended up giving Goku and Vegeta their biggest challenge yet: a villain stronger than the Gods.

Moro is the toughest enemy Goku has ever faced

After defeating Moro Seven-Three in Dragon Ball Super Chapter 65, Goku tries to spare Mora by giving him the Senzu Bean. Goku specifically says that he will “never come across anyone as tough as you” in reference to Moro. This is a big deal because Goku is coming off a fight with Jiren in the Tournament of Power and needed to team up with Gogeta to defeat the legendary Super Saiyan Broly. Notably, Jiren was stronger than Universe 11's God of Destruction, Belmod, while Broly could only be defeated by God-Tier Fusion, implying that he is stronger than Beerus.

This means that Moro was already stronger than several gods in his Seven-Three form. Goku would also use Beerus as a benchmark, suggesting that Moro is stronger than the level of power Beerus released during Battle of the Gods. After eating the Senzu Bean but refusing to go quietly with the Galactic Patrol, Moro becomes even stronger as he absorbs all of Merus' powers. Moro becomes part angel by doing anything from breaking his fists on Goku's body to being able to fight on par with Perfected Ultra Instinct Goku. Angel Moro even surprises Goku with how fast and strong he has become.

Moro is the only villain in Dragon Ball who can use Ultra Instinct

By absorbing Meru's powers, Moro becomes the only villain in the game Dragon Ball Super who actually uses Ultra Instinct. Perfected Ultra Instinct Goku is more than strong enough to hold off Moro, but Moro is able to adapt to using Ultra Instinct much faster than Goku during the Tournament of Power. Goku's confidence quickly falters as he is unable to deal enough damage to actually kill Mora. Ultra Instinct Moro is realistically stronger than most gods at this point.

Unfortunately for Mor, his body cannot handle Merus' angelic powers and he quickly begins to reject his newfound god Ki. In order to survive, Moro fuses with Earth and begins to drain energy from all living things on the planet. Planet Moro's power level eventually rises at a rapid rate, surpassing even Perfected Ultra Instinct Goku. In the end, Goku barely defeats Moro thanks to Vegeta using Forced Spirit Fission and Uub devoting a huge amount of his Ki to his final attack. If not for Uuba, Perfected Ultra Instinct Goku would not be able to defeat Mora.

Dragon Ball Super villains will keep getting stronger

Moro is about to break the internet when Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol is finally broadcasting, but that will only be the tip of the iceberg. from here, Dragon Ball Superthe bad guys will only get more and more overpowered. Granolah and Gas literally become the strongest warriors in Universe 7 during the Granolah the Survivor Saga, only to be surpassed by Black Frieza – who is still the most powerful mortal in Dragon Ball Super.

Cell Max from Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero is also believed to be stronger than Ultra Instinct Goku and Ultra Ego Vegeta. Provided Dragon Ball Super 2 will also remake the Super Hero Saga, fans will see Gohan Beast stronger than ever while Broly finally learns to control his full power. If all goes well, Dragon Ball Super will finally animate Black Frieza in late 2027/early 2028, giving fans a villain to finally match Beerus.
