* Chapter 62 is titled "Edge of Defeat" which couldn't be a more appropriate title given what happens to our heroes. With his newfound power, Moro proceeds to steamroll through the Z-Fighters. Goku blasts Moro's arm off with a point-blank Kamehameha only for Moro to use Piccolo's regeneration to regrow his arm... ''[[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice right through Goku's chest]]''. The other heroes fare little better as Moro effortlessly swats them aside. When Dende makes his way to the battlefield to attempt to heal them, Moro throws up a barrier to keep him from interfering. Worse, Piccolo notes that even if Goku and Vegeta were to fuse, Moro could use Vegeta's Force Spirit Fission to defuse them thanks to Moro copying Vegeta's abilities. So if Ultra Instinct didn't work, Forced Spirit Fission didn't work, and Fusion is useless, then how can our heroes possibly stop Moro?

* Chapter 58. In an effort to draw out Goku's true power, Moro decides to power up Saganbo with more of his energy, threatening to keep powering up Moro until Goku reveals his true power. And we get a ''[[SarcasmMode lovely]]'' view of Saganbo suffering a nasty case of PowerIncontinence, complete with [[BodyHorror bulging muscles and and foaming at the mouth]]. Goku outright begs Moro to stop, knowing full well Saganbo's body won't be able to handle the strain. And sure enough, Saganbo eventually keels over from the strain. Moro's callous indifference to the death of his second-in-command makes the scene all the more frightening.

* Chapter 43 introduces a new villain: a powerful wizard by the name Moro who earned the name "{{Planet Eater}} Moro" thanks to his ability to drain the life out of ''entire worlds'' and consume it to become stronger, having done so to '''320 planets''' already. By then, he ''dwarfed'' [[EldritchAbomination Majin Buu]] in power to the point a much stronger Grand Supreme Kai and South Kai (the two strongest and the only ones who were capable of fighting Buu head on) were struggling to ''stay alive'' fighting him at the same time, and Grand Supreme Kai had to sacrifice most of his divine power to seal Moro's magic away. Even then, Moro was so powerful that the Galactic Patrol couldn't execute him, just imprison him.

* Chapter 62. Things continue to look bleak for our heroes. With his newfound power, Moro proceeds to steamroll through the Z-Fighters. Goku blasts Moro's arm off with a point-blank Kamehameha only for Moro to use Piccolo's regeneration to regrow his arm... ''[[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice right through Goku's chest]]''. The other heroes fare little better as Moro effortlessly swats them aside. When Dende makes his way to the battlefield to attempt to heal them, Moro throws up a barrier to keep him from interfering. Worse, Piccolo notes that even if Goku and Vegeta were to fuse, Moro could use Vegeta's Force Spirit Fission to defuse them. So if Ultra Instinct didn't work, Forced Spirit Fission didn't work, and Fusion is useless, then how can our heroes possibly stop Moro?

'''Moro:''' My friend? I have no friends. Those were only soldiers. They may be gone, but I can always collect more.

* Goku locks onto Moro's energy and prepares to Instant Transmission to him... only for Moro to sense him and ''smirk''. Goku then sees an image of Moro smiling directly at him and has an OhCrap. Moro managed to scare ''Goku''. Let that sink in.

** Moro spends the three days Goku and Vegeta are out collecting the Dragon Balls... in the most sadistic way he possibly can. Namely surrounding a village in pillars of flames made by their own planet's life energy as he slowly telekinetically throws them straight into the fire, one by one, to force them to surrender the Dragon Balls. He's done this to at least three villages so far.

* Chapter 60. Thanks to his new Forced Spirit Fission technique, Vegeta is able to dominate his rematch with Moro by forcibly removing all the energy he's absorbed, weakening him severely. But the wizard has one last trick up his sleeve. Taking a page from Cell and Majin Buu's playbook, Moro ''swallows Seventhree whole'' to regain the power he lost to Vegeta, transforming into a twisted fusion of Seventhree and himself and gaining Seventhree's abilities. With the boost in power, he's able to easily defeat Vegeta, leaving the Z Fighters to deal with their most dangerous adversary yet.

** A while later, Seventhree's ability is further explained. Good news: after copying someone's abilities, he can use them for just 30 minutes - although the time limit only applies when he actually ''uses'' that someone's combat data. Bad news: he can store data from 3 different people, switching between them at will... and one of them is Moro.

** Also, think about it from Krillin's point of view. For Goku, it's just a gallery of his fights, but Krillin never made it even to Frieza's level. Tambourine and King Piccolo might be the only ones there he actually can defeat. And they are some of his worst memories.

[[folder:God Of Destruction Saga]]

** For starters, his EstablishingCharacterMoment is different. In the movie, it was a silly scene of Whis trying to wake him up with bombs and then when that failed, threatening to sing which caused Beerus to lazily drag himself awake. Here? A creepy scene of him being served food by an alien race who are practically doing their best not to shit their pants in fear. After Beerus eats it and deems it tasty but greasy, [[DisproportionateRetribution he decides to only wipe out ''half'' the planet.]] And he does it with [[FingerPokeOfDoom a poke!]]

* Frieza [[SanitySlippage going utterly insane]] after Gohan tries to show mercy to Ginyu. Frieza spends several minutes shooting Gohan until he can't even move, all the while mocking him. After Gohan is on the ground, Frieza teases Gohan about begging for mercy and crying before saying he still wouldn't spare him. The whole thing is made even more surreal [[FreudianSlip when he calls Gohan "Goku".]]

** And to compound the nightmare, in what can be called a frightening CallBack to the Saiyan Saga and the Namek Saga, Piccolo saves Gohan and [[HeroicSacrifice takes a Death Beam to the heart.]] The next episode confirms he's dead.

---> '''Vegeta''': Now listen! If you quit on me, ''(screen darkens, zooms in on Vegeta's eyes)'' I will ''kill'' you. ''(snip)'' And once the fight is over, I'm going to blow your stupid planet Sadala to ''smithereens''! But first, I'm going to hunt down, one by one, and murder every last member of your family. But for them... [[ColdBloodedTorture it won't be quick.]]

** And, as Universe Tournament arc shows, [[ObliviouslyEvil he's]] [[DisproportionateRetribution seemingly]] [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt quite]] [[AmbiguousInnocence amoral...]] Emphasis on 'seemingly'.

* Episode 71 brings this horrifying likelihood into reality, where Hit manages to take Goku out and kill him stone dead with '''one blow.''' It isn't even a major one either: All he does is punch Goku in the chest and it cuts to a close up of the area that Hit punched, which is ''caving in on itself''. Then Goku wheezes and tries to bounce back from it, only to fail and [[DiesWideOpen collapse.]] Hit didn't even physically touch Goku. He just punched hard enough that a shock-wave (either of pure force or a special Ki attack) went straight through Goku's body and his heart. A Goku who just came back from training to fight Zamasu and Goku Black. Tht's beyond fucked, even if Goku [[OnlyMostlyDead managed to recover from it]], as shown in the preview of Episode 72.

[[caption-width-right:350: ''His chi itself wasn't that huge, but it was terrifying. I never felt anything like it. [[AndIMustScream It was as if a lot of people were screaming in pain.]]'']]

* Also, in Chapter 44, Moro arrives on Planet Namek to search for the Dragon Balls, only to be confronted by Goku and Vegeta. His first response? '''''[[WouldHurtAChild To telekinetically grab a Namekian child and attempt to drain his life force.]]''''' Thank God Vegeta stepped in just in time.

* Chapter 51. Things continue to go FromBadToWorse. After completely draining New Namek of its energy, Moro and his new army decide to go on a galaxy-wide rampage]], with his minions pillaging the planet for its valuables and resources before Moro drains it of its life. Moro was already strong before, so who knows just how powerful Moro will become.

* Chapter 51. Things continue to go FromBadToWorse. After completely draining New Namek of its energy, Moro and his new army decide to [[RapePillageBurn go on a galaxy-wide rampage]], with his minions pillaging the planet for its valuables and resources before Moro drains it of its life. Moro was already strong before, so who knows just how powerful Moro will become.

* Chapter 49: Moro's fight with the Grand Supreme Kai, [[CurbStompBattle if one can even call it that]], is a terrifying display of Moro's full power. The Grand Supreme Kai throws everything he has at Moro, but Moro has drained so much of New Namek's energy that he can basically shrug off anything he throws at him. Even worse, it's revealed that the Grand Supreme Kai '''can't seal Moro's magic anymore.''' When Majin Buu split into his good and evil half, his evil side took all of the Grand Supreme Kai's godly power... Which was destroyed when Goku vaporized Kid Buu. So our heroes no longer have their trump card to fall back on. And like the previous chapter, this one ends with Moro taunting Vegeta about his third wish. Whatever it is, it can't be good.

* We are given an even clearer picture of how powerful Beerus is. He tells Vegeta that this was the first time in a long time that he had to use one-tenth of his power and he did much better than Goku as a Super Saiyan 3. With just one-tenth of his strength, Beerus took no notable damage from Vegeta's rage-fueled onslaught and then proceeded to ''casually slap him out of his Super Saiyan 2 form!''.

* The above sudden turn of seriousness occurs for one reason only: Goku figured out why Beerus was holding out on him, and mentioned he could relate. ...Except Goku really ''can't''; he can't so much as fathom what it's like for Beerus, because there has never been a power gap so vast between him and others as Beerus has to ''everything else in the universe''. '''Beerus does not take kindly to such an allegation.'''
* The battle between gods is so intense that the entire universe will be turned to dust if they keep fighting, at least if they don't control the angle of their blows. An entire planet in another solar system crumbled to bits from the shockwave, and probably other planets suffered the same fate. We don't know if that planet was populated. Even the Planet of the Kais and King Kai's planet are in danger and they lie outside the physical universe, meaning the Otherworld itself may be in danger, meaning that even the afterlife would be destroyed.

** What's even more terrifying is what Whis may do if he got angry. Beerus had the power to destroy the universe, and Whis is '''even stronger than him.'''

** Even worse is Champa's attitude towards destruction. He comes off as more boorish and arrogant than his twin brother, who has no problem getting his hands dirty, and instead has his assistant do it for him, demanding in the rudest manner possible. He's lucky that Vados is so calm and understanding about the matter, considering '''she, like Whis, are much, much stronger than the lords they serve.''' Vados herself is terrifying as well, destroying an unrelated planet without so much as batting an eye; Whis is shown as being much more considerate towards life, even if he does have to follow Beerus.

** [[FromBadToWorse Vados just got worse]]. In the manga, we find out that in the past, she ''intentionally'' started a fight between ''Beerus and Champa''. Each one of them by definition has enough power to clean out an entire universe, and she and Whis know full well that a prolonged fight between them would '''guarantee''' that outcome, yet she ''deliberately pitted them against each other!'' Just what the hell is this woman's ''deal?!''

** Oh yeah, then there's the part where she deliberately played off Champa's laziness to receive carte blanche to pick Universe 6's Freeza to join her and Champa's team with promises that Champa will assist him for winning. Here's why this is a big deal: Frost is not Freeza's GoodCounterpart, he's his smart counterpart. Vados knows this, and picked him anyway. And she convinced Champa to keep up the promise despite taking this revelation as a personal shame brought unto him by Frost by reminding him of the competition and his goal to defeat Beerus. She has essentially gotten her '''God of Destruction''' to earnestly back a GalacticConqueror [[VillainWithGoodPublicity with Good Publicity]] responsible for at least millions of deaths[[note]]as opposed to merely advise/coerce/order him to perform certain tasks as Beerus did with Freeza, and even then Beerus intended to kill Freeza down the line as well[[/note]] by manipulating his sloth and pride.

* Frieza's emergence from the regeneration machine. He nearly blows up the ship just powering up after reintegrating all his pieces. Then he steps out amidst the rubble, ominously cracks his neck, and then spits up a huge gobbet of green slime. And then shows his BadBoss credentials by ''[[ColdBloodedTorture shooting Tagoma's arms and legs]]'' for trying to suggest not taking revenge on Goku. Lucky for Tagoma, he gets fixed up.
** In comparison to ''Resurrection F'', Frieza is actually somewhat nicer, and he doesn't kill Tagoma. He also didn't randomly kill his men. Instead, he's just happy to demean and torture them. Subverted in that he just kept them around to kill as a means to show off his new power.

* Vegeta once again indulging in his formerly evil behavior to goad Cabba into going Super Saiyan]]. While Goku and the others were growing concerned with his sudden erratic behavior, imagine all this from Cabba's POV. For all he knew, Vegeta posed a ''very serious'' threat to his planet and his people and there wouldn't be a thing that could be done to stop him. Good thing Vegeta wasn't being serious about his threats...

** Hit's abilities bear extra mentioning. Imagine fighting a being who can stop time for 0.1 seconds. That may not seem like much but that same being can also move at insanely high speeds. With time stop for "that long", it's all the time that Hit needs to lay all the punishment he wants on you. While you're reeling from the first barrage of hits, the next couple of barrages start coming out of nowhere and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Oh and all those hits target your vital areas: throat, temple, eyes, ears, chest, neck, etc.
** One last thing that makes this incredibly terrifying: Hit isn't like Goku or even Vegeta (anymore). He's not even neutral. He's a [[ProfessionalKiller hitman]]. Meaning he not only ''can'' kill people, but does so for a ''living''. Imagine what a person Hit was hired to kill would think in the above situation. Combined with this, the fact that Hit is over a thousand years old. In that time, imagine how many people he might have killed.

* Champa tries to murder his team after it's defeated. What's more worrying is that his tone completely changes, becoming psychotic. And what about Beerus's, when Goku forfeits his match? It lowers to the point that you see that he is very angry, and barely keeps himself calm. It's very possible that if not for meeting Goku and friends before, and becoming nicer, he could kill them just like Champa.

* Episode 71 brings this horrifying likelihood into reality, where Hit, even if Goku [[OnlyMostlyDead managed to recover from it]] as shown in the preview of Episode 72, manages to take Goku out and kill him stone dead with '''one blow.''' It isn't even a major one either: All he does is punch Goku in the chest and it cuts to a close up of the area that Hit punched, which is ''caving in on itself''. Then Goku wheezes and tries to bounce back from it, only to fail and [[DiesWideOpen collapse.]]
** Hit didn't even physically touch Goku. He just punched hard enough that a shock-wave (either of pure force or a special Ki attack) went straight through Goku's body and his heart. A Goku who just came back from training to fight Zamasu and Goku Black.

** Even worse, in Dragon Ball mind control becomes less effective against really powerful or stubborn creatures (as shown with Vegeta's personality igoring Babidi and the Commeson), and Watagash doesn't even seem to have a really personal purpose to begin with. So any of the aformentioned villain ever came in contact with it, they'd be in control and able to exploit the power-up, or even to subdue Watagash itself.

* The preview for Episode 76. Goku and Krillin go into a forest to continue training and for Krillin to get his self-confidence back. Not long after they enter the forest, the smoke turns into enemies that they faced and defeated. Aside from the obvious why is this Nightmare Fuel? ONE OF THE VILLAINS IS TAMBOURINE. This is literally nightmare fuel for Krillin, since Tambourine is the monster that killed him as a child. This, along with the other past villains showing up, will likely spark some long since buried bad memories for Krillin.

** In Episode 76, we even get to see Krillin's point of view against these villains. He remembers his deaths with Tambourine, Frieza, and Super Buu, along with his petrification when he faced up against Dabura (who was also present with the villains).

* Goku locks onto Moro's energy and prepares to Instant Transmission to him...only for Moro to sense him and ''smirk''. Goku then sees an image of Moro smiling directly at him and has an OhCrap. Moro managed to scare ''Goku''. Let that sink in.

* Also, in Chapter 44, Moro arrives on Planet Namek to search for the Dragon Balls only to be confronted by Goku and Vegeta. His first response? '''''[[WouldHurtAChild To telekinetically grab a Namekian child and attempt to drain his life force.]]''''' Thank God Vegeta stepped in just in time.

** Moro spends the three days Goku and Vegeta are out collecting the Dragon Balls...in the most sadistic way he possibly can. Namely surrounding a village in pillars of flames made by their own planet's life energy as he slowly telekinetically throws them straight into the fire one by one to force them to surrender the Dragon Balls. He's done this to at least three villages so far.

* Chapter 47 has Moro searching the remains of the village for their Dragon Ball and Moro manages to find out exactly where it is. That's right, Moro is able to sense the energy of the Dragon Balls themselves, a feat previously thought to be impossible. The next scene has a Namekian running away with a Dragon Ball in tow only for Moro (whose presence is made known by his shadow slowly looming over the poor Namekian) to catch and kill him ([[NothingIsScarier offscreen, thankfully]]). Both scenes give the impression that there's no escape from Moro.

* Chapter 47 has Moro draining the life energy on the planet to grow stronger...''including Goku and Vegeta's''!

** Vegeta spends almost all of episode 7 utterly ''paralyzed in fear'' as the others try to fight Beerus and lose one by one.

-->'''Moro:''' Was ''this'' your savior, by chance? Apologies. He was dead before I could even see his face.

** Moro spends the three days Goku and Vegeta are out collecting the Dragon Balls...in the most sadistic way he possibly can. Namely surrounding a village in pillars of flames made by their own planet's life energy as he slowly telekinetically throws them straight into the fire one by one to force them to surrender the Dragon Balls. He's done this to at least four villages so far.

** Moro drains enough of their energy that they're basically helpless, and proceeds to completely beat the two into the ground. The fight becomes so one-sided that Goku is forced to do something he rarely does: ''[[KnowWhenToFoldEm run away from a fight]]''. Goku tries to use Instant Transmission... only to find that he's so drained of energy that he can't even manage ''that.'' Moro finishes the fight by draining all their energy and leaving them to die. If not for Esca, the Namekian child Vegeta rescued from Moro in Chapter 44, saving them, Moro would have ''won''. Even worse, absorbing their energy results in him regaining some of his youth. If he could do this much damage when he's past his prime, imagine what he could do if he regains his full power.

[[folder:Galactic Patrol Saga]]

* Chapter 43 introduces a new villain: a powerful wizard by the name Moro who earned the name "{{Planet Eater}} Moro" thanks to his ability to drain the life out of ''entire worlds'' and consume it to become stronger, having done so to '''380 planets''' already. By then, he ''dwarfed'' [[EldritchAbomination Majin Buu]] in power to the point a much stronger Grand Supreme Kai and South Kai (the two strongest and the only ones who were capable of fighting Buu head on) were struggling to ''stay alive'' fighting him at the same time, and Grand Supreme Kai had to sacrifice most of his power to seal him away.

* Moro drains enough of their energy that they're basically helpless, and proceeds to completely beat the two into the ground. He finishes the fight by draining all their energy and leaving them to die. If not for a Namekian saving them, Moro would have ''won''. Even worse, absorbing their energy results in him regaining some of his youth.
* Moro spends the time Goku and Vegeta are out collecting the Dragon Balls...in the most sadistic way he possibly can. Namely surrounding a village in pillars of flames made by their own planet's life energy as he slowly telekinetically throws them straight into the fire one by one to force them to surrender the Dragon Balls. He's done this to at least four villages so far.
* A lot of Namekians merge into one super Namek to try and fight Moro...and instantly gets impaled on his arm without Moro even looking at him with a sadistic grin on his face.
