He's even forced Goku and Vegeta to surrender several times as well, which is something that they normally don't do. The only instance of him in a disadvantage was against Majin Buu/Grand Supreme Kai ... at first, but then he regained his powers and that weakness flew right out the window. Then when he wishes to free various powerful and dangerous prisoners, he can even grant those powers onto them as well, making them ridiculously strong compared to the likes of Goku and Vegeta.

[[caption-width-right:350:The Galactic Patrol Symbol]]
The Galactic Patrol also known as the Space Police and the Galaxy Police is a cosmic police force that is led directly by the Galactic King and helps keep order throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. While many of the members are powerful they did not have enough power to oppose the Frieza Force or even the Saiyans alone around Age 739. The Galactic Patrol also upholds a strict law forbidding the usage of time travel.
----
* DependingOnTheWriter: Are they competent or incompetent? The answer is somewhat in the middle, depending on [[RuleOfFunny on whatever's funny at the time]].
* GoodCounterpart: To the Frieza Force. Unlike the Frieza Force, they fight for order in the galaxy instead of ruling it with an iron fist.
* RememberTheNewGuy: While the concept of a galactic police force is present in non-canonical works like the [[AllThereInTheManual backstory of one of Turles goons]] in ''Anime/DragonBallZTheTreeOfMight'' only available in the danzenshuu, and a ancient police force is referenced in ''Anime/DragonBallEpisodeOfBardock'', the Galactic Patrol was never referenced in the original manga during the moments involving space.
* SchrodingersCanon: Is unknown if ''Jiya'' and ''Sachie-Chan Good'' are part of the ''Dragon Ball'' canon, as they are never referenced.
* SpacePolice: They are the police force in the universe.

A member of the Galactic Patrol Who outwardly resembles an imposing mechanical man, but beneath this exterior visage Jiya is in fact an intelligent microorganism who operates a robot suit to keep up with his peers. He originally starred in an unrelated self-titled manga miniseries by Akira Toriyama, which was released a few years before ''Manga/JacoTheGalacticPatrolman''.
----
* BodySurf: He can take control of other individuals, but unlike many examples of this trope, he is a heroic individual.
* TheCameo: He and others of his species make several cameos in the “Galactic Patrol Prisoner” arc aboard the Patrol’s HQ ship.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Jiya’s body-swapping adventures on Earth are documented in the ''Jiya'' manga series, but aside from being the first full appearance of the Galactic Patrol in Toriyama’s work, it has nothing to do with Dragon Ball.
* PoweredArmor: The imposing man is actually a robot suit powered by water.

----
* BodySurf: Like Jiya, he can also take over people's bodies, but it's not used for heroic deeds.

[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jaco_patrullero_galactico_by_saodvd_d8o3yng.png]]
->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/NatsukiHanae (Anime), Creator/TsubasaYonaga (Vomic)
->'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/ToddHaberkorn
->'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Bruno Coronel[[note]]Credited under the stage name "Bruno Neptuno" for ''Super''[[/note]]
A self-proclaimed "super elite" member of the Galactic Patrol, was sent to Earth by the Galactic King for the purpose of eliminating a hostile alien threat.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: While he establishes himself as a BadassNormal in ''Resurrection F'', in ''Super'' he did nothing against Frieza except warning Bulma. He does later shows his skills in Episode 31, when he quickly liberates a hostage from a criminal and freaks out said criminal.
* AmusingAlien: He's pretty much like a member of the [[Anime/DragonBallZ Ginyu Force]], except not evil.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Is actually naked most of the time and pees from the sides of his head.
* BerserkButton: He hates being called short or being mistaken as a masked man, and he would kill a human for it. He even carries a virus inside his pocket that would kill all humans on Earth (the virus only works on weak races).
* ButtMonkey: There are a lot of jokes made at Jaco's expense.
** Jaco is basically Bulma's butt monkey, often taking physical hits from her and threatened to have Vegeta sought on him.
** In the fight against Piccolo and Frost, Jaco points out Frost is cheating and requests an inspection. A furious Champa declares that if Frost was found to be clean he would kill Jaco, to which Jaco withdraws his statement. However, Beerus and Vegeta both insist with the inspection, adding that they don't care if Jaco dies.
** When Jaco thinks he will be absorbed by the Comméson, it passes by him and chases after Goten and Trunks, wanting their powers. Jaco angrily declares it was rude that the Comméson didn't think his powers were worth absorbing.
* CombatPragmatist: He uses tactics, his blaster, martial arts and surrounding areas to defeat [[spoiler: Frieza's]] army. It works.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He acts like a short-tempered idiot, often making people doubt about his claims of being a super elite. When he goes into action, he's just as good as he brags about.
* DittoAliens: The only other member of his species we see is identical to him apart from being slightly taller.
* EskimosArentReal: Mixed with FlatEarthAtheist. By the start of ''Resurrection F'', he doesn't believe in Beerus. He quickly comes to know better.
* FishOutOfWater: Heavily downplayed. Jaco came to Earth after studying up on the local culture (the basics are covered in a 4-hour tape course, and doing so is apparently standard practice). He is aware of what local foods he's capable of eating (dairy products), for example, but isn't initially aware of what the local currency looks like (which he figures out as soon as some is handed to him) and accidentally attacks some police officers because he doesn't recognize their uniforms.
* FlatEarthAtheist: As mentioned above, in a universe full of superhumans, magic users and, in general, beings that can destroy planets with their fingers, he didn't believe in the existence of Beerus. This is despite the fact that Bulma (a personal friend, and one who happens to be a woman of science) could attest to his existence.
%%* TheGreys
* IllPretendIDidntHearThat: Jaco would rather pretend that there's no Saiyans on Earth or ignore Whis rewinding time. (The latter case is probably helped by the fact that Whis is the God of Destruction's attendant, and the strongest being in all of Universe 7.)
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Abrasive, condensending, self-centered, and egotistical, but he can usually be counted upon to do the right thing regardless, even to his detriment.
* MeaningfulName: Jaco's name is a food pun, naturally, that can be taking as meaning fish bait or small fish. In Japanese, his name is also a pun of a storytelling device where a character is insignificant to the greater story. Which fits Jaco perfectly since his one major achievement, saving East City, is rendered meaningless since Nappa destroys the city in about twenty years anyway. He also fails in his mission to stop the hostile alien coming to Earth, but since said alien was Goku, that screw-up ends up saving the universe several times over.
* MistakenForAliens: Inverted. Over the course of the comic he is mistaken for a foreigner, a masked superhero and a robot. (The thing about him being a foreigner is more sensible than it seems at first, as he doesn't stick out ''at all'' in the East City.)
* TheNapoleon: He is extremely sensitive about his height.
* OnlySaneMan: He fights alongside the Great Saiyamen in ''Xenoverse 2'', and is unamused with their LargeHam behavior.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: He's considered an incompetent compared to the rest of the Galactic Patrol. Considering he can casually lift his own spaceship and [[BulletCatch catch a speeding bullet]] ''[[OffhandBackhand without looking]]'', the others must be formidable. Counting Jiya (if taken as canon) and Merus, he is definitely an incompetent by comparison.
** Jaco himself admits that he could not beat an adult Saiyan, so his power must be below 1,200 (if you consider Raditz as a comparison)
* PinballProtagonist: Sent to Earth to intercept the alien threat, he fails in his mission as Kakarot's pod slips right past him and his only real achievement on Earth is saving East City from destruction. ... Which would end up being completely destroyed by Vegeta and Nappa a mere 23 years later anyway.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: It's also lampshaded that he's quite strong despite his small size.
* PoliceAreUseless: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zigzagged]]. There are times where he’s competent at his job and is only really hampered by the fact that he’s at the bottom rungs of the SuperWeight scale, such as when he takes on Frieza’s men with the other Z-Fighters and holds his own, along with apprehending a violent gun-toting Burp Man. However, his apathetic attitude can severely hamper his effectiveness at doing his job, such as when he was guarding Watagash, ''a civilisation-ending parasite'', but drops his guard to have something to eat at a nearby food stand, even brushing off the food vendor when he tells him to keep on eye on his prisoner, all of which would likely have cost him his job had such laziness been witnessed by his colleagues.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Has apparently been visiting Bulma's family since she was a small child, but isn't mentioned anywhere in the Dragon Ball franchise until ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF''.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: His reaction to being asked to help take on Frieza. In ''Resurrection 'F''' he is however willing to help out against the army of mooks.
* ShooOutTheClowns: They stopped mentioning him since the ''Future Trunks'' saga.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He always calls himself to a Super Elite, but it is often shown that he has rather sloppy and is not as competent as he is wants to be. He also gets only outdated equipments and spacecrafts, and other Galactic Patrolmen see him only as an idiot. And since Earth is an InsignificantLittleBluePlanet, the King of the Galaxy does not even care if Jaco succeeds or fails at his mission. After ''Resurrection F'' arc in ''Dragon Ball Super'', he's promoted.
* SpacePolice: Super Elite Patrolman of the galaxy [[spoiler: which isn't as special as it sounds. The job has a 55% hire rate, it's just positions usually are not open because only 38 are needed.]]
* SuperSenses: ''Nothing'' escapes his sight. Not even things that escape the one of ''Beerus''. It helps him to reveal that [[spoiler: Frost is a cheater and villain.]]
* SuperStrength: He is very strong, but he states he would be in trouble if he's facing an adult Saiyan.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: His girlfriend is taller than him, then it is [[DittoAliens hard to tell which is which.]]
* TitleDrop: In ''VideoGame/DragonballXenoverse'', his Hero Pose super has him introduce himself as "Galactic Patrolman, Jaco."
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The only things he needs to consume on Earth are milk and cheese.
* VitriolicBestBuds: It's shown that he is this to Bulma and her sister, Tights. It's mutual.
* WalkingSpoiler: His appearances in ''Dragon Ball'' works proper spoil his own title.
* WeakButSkilled:
** He doen't know how to fly or use ki. ''He still beats Frieza's army like other fighters.''
** ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' shows him seeing and picking up on things that people much more powerful than him, such as all the Z Fighters and even ''Beerus'', fail to notice.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: When he takes Bulma to see Master Zuno, he sees that Burp Man is the one ahead of him in line. He could arrest the guy then and there, but he posits that it'll lead to Burp Man telling the Galactic Patrol that Jaco used him as TheScapegoat when Jaco himself destroyed a valuable monument. He's about to leave the guy to his devices when Bulma mentions that Beerus threatened to destroy Universe 7, and that they'll all have to hope he was joking. With the universe on the line, despite the fact that he'd be in the clear if he just ignored Burp Man, Jaco then risks getting caught, subdues Burp Man when he takes a hostage, and gains Bulma audience with Zuno.

->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/HiromiTsuru (Anime)
->'''Voiced by (English):''' Anastasia Munoz
->'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Creator/MonicaManjarrez
A girl that Jaco and Omori encounter in East City, fascinated with aliens and outer space. Is also a stunt double for An Azuki's rocket launch as well as the eldest daughter of Dr. Brief.
----
* BareYourMidriff: Just about every outfit she wore in her teenage years have her in this.
* {{Expy}}: Is similar in a number of ways to Bulma from ''Manga/DragonBall''. And for good reason too, as she's Bulma's older sister.
* IShouldWriteABookAboutThis: Became a successful science fiction novelist in the epilogue, however [[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs her book based on Jaco]], ''Space Police Chako'', [[SelfDeprecation was a flop]].
* MsFanservice: Downplayed for the most part (especially compared to her younger sister Bulma's moments), but the Dragon Ball Minus bonus chapter of ''Jaco'' features Tights taking a dip in the ocean, complete with a WalkingSwimsuitScene.
* NiceHat: She wears some nice looking hats during her teenage years.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Subverted. [[spoiler:When Jaco pisses her on her face, she pushes him from the cliff, following that he misses to notice the alien threat landing on Earth. On the other hand, the said alien "threat" was Son Goku, so Tights actually saved Goku's life.]]
* OnlyOneName: The only character introduced to have only one name. [[spoiler: Considering that the vast majority of the ''Dragon Ball'' cast have only one name, including her family, she follows this trend.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: When she first appears in ''Super'', she looks to be in her 30's. She's actually ''58''.
* PunnyName: It foreshadows her relatives.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Tights being Bulma's previously unmentioned older sister is handwaved by her being extremely independent, and thus unlikely to be around Capsule Corp and by her parents being extremely absentminded and unlikely to remember she exists. This gets a giant lampshade in ''Dragon Ball Super'' when Bulma casually says she's going to call her sister, and both Goku (who's known her for decades) and Vegeta (Bulma's husband) react with "You have a sister?!"
** Note that she is also 11 years older than Bulma is, and thus would have been 27 and trying to start her career during the events of the first few arcs of ''Dragon Ball''.

[[quoteright:221:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/galactic_king.jpeg]]
->Voiced by Ken Uo (Japanese), Bob Reed (English), Daniel Lacy (Latin American Spanish)
The Galactic King is the king of the Milky Way Galaxy. He joins Jaco and the crew for the tournament between Universe 6 and Universe 7.
----
* AccentAdaptation: He's given a German accent in the English dub.
* AscendedExtra: He actually first appears during the last chapter of ''Jaco The Space Patrolman'', ''Dragon Ball Minus'', where he gives Jaco the order to kill Goku who is going to Earth. Luckily, Jaco failed at that. In ''Super'', he is given more of a role during the Tournament between Universe 6 and 7 in helping Goku have some idea of what the powers of Hit, from universe 6, are.
* BizarreAlienBiology: At least one of his many tentacles serves as a genital, though they are indistinguishable (this is true of real-world octopuses as well).
* CloudCuckooLander: As can be gathered from the other tropes listed here, the Galactic King has a rather odd sense of priorities, but his status as a CloudCuckooLander is fully solidified in the “Galactic Patrol Prisoner” arc, where his induction ceremony for Goku and Vegeta into the Patrol lists off a number of arbitrary codes of conduct, such as a rule that members of the Patrol may not use their police credentials to pick up girls.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's only referred to by title, not name.
* ExposedExtraterrestrials: Wears no clothing except a crown, though as an octopus this doesn't exactly reveal anything.
* TheGoodKing: He runs a galactic police force that helps to keep peace throughout the Milky Way galaxy.
* MistakenForRomance: Mistaken by Bulma for being Jaco's girlfriend.
* MrExposition: Is the first one to figure out how Hit's technique works, and explains its limitations to Goku.
* OctopoidAliens: He resembles a large green octopus wearing a crown.
* PoliceAreUseless: Combining everything we know about them from ''Manga/JacoTheGalacticPatrolman'', ''Manga/DragonBallSuper'', and official statements from Creator/AkiraToriyama, it seems that the Galactic Patrol (including the King himself, who's said to be their strongest member) are completely useless against beings anywhere near as strong as Frieza's first form (who had a power level over half a million during a time where one-hundred thousand was considered outstanding), only patrol the Milky Way, don't care for backwater planets like Earth, and spend most of their time chasing people like Burpman who commit misdemeanor crimes.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Creator/AkiraToriyama has stated that instead of just giving orders to the Galactic Patrol, the king directly aids them, even going so far as to help them combat evil-doers. Unfortunately, even with the king and every single other member teaming up, their combined might is ''still'' not enough to manage anything against Frieza even in his weakest form.

[[folder:Merus]]
!!'''Merus (メルス; ''Merusu'')'''
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/merusu_artwork_toyotaro.png]]
TheAce of the Galactic Patrol. Introduced in the Galactic Patrol saga.
----
* TheAce: A captain that is in charge of 140 sectors of the seventh universe.
* [[AmbiguouslyHuman Ambiguously Mortal]]: There's many hints throughout the Galactic Patrol Saga that Merus is much more than he seems. He has no ki signature, is extremely fast and has knowledge of Ultra Instinct, an ability that not even many top-tier gods are aware of. Plus, his complexion and hair are distinctly Angelic or Kai-like.
* CombatPragmatist: He takes down Goku and Vegeta with an anaesthesia gun instead of facing them head on.
* TheDreaded: Among the criminal populace of the galaxy, Merus is unilaterally feared for being the most competent and decorated Galactic Patrolman.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His straight-laced, efficient and pragmatic personality is established in his first appearance, in which he harmlessly ambushes Goku and Vegeta with an anaesthesia gun instead of trying to attack them head-on or announce his intentions.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: Revelations about the extent to Merus's true power are gradually drip-fed to us over the course of his debut arc. Initially, he appears to be a highly competent and speedy but not exceptionally strong Patrolman, but his feats include briefly binding Moro, holding his own against Super Saiyan 3 Goku and later revealing that he does in fact know of Ultra Instinct. His ki is also noted by Vegeta to be unreadable.
* MysteriousPast: Merus carries an aura of intrigue mainly due to his extremely high power level.
* OnlySixFaces: Looks just like a purple-skinned Android 17, though his hairstyle lacks 17's iconic curtains.
* SimpleStaff: Merus wields one during his training with Goku, making him somewhat resemble Whis.
* TheStoic: Compared to the majority of Galactic Patrol members, Merus takes his job ''very'' seriously and lacks any silly quirks.
* SuperSpeed: Established of having SuperSpeed, and is fast enough to take down (base) Goku and Vegeta by surprise. He's so fast that he can dodge attacks from Super Saiyan 3 Goku with minimal effort.

* AcePilot: Most often seen flying Galactic Patrol vessels, and he ferries Vegeta to planet Yardrat.
* AmbiguouslyRelated: There is no confirmed source that states Irico is a Tech Tech alien. He does however appears to be from the same race as [[Characters/DragonBallOthers Gure]], [[Characters/DragonBallSaiyans Tarble's wife]].
* TheGenericGuy: Irico doesn't have Jaco's incompetence or quirky traits, or Merus [[TheAce competence]] and mystery, he is just a unremarkable patroller.
* MistakenIdentity: The Yardrats somehow keep mistaking Irico for Vegeta when they arrive on their planet.
* MythologyGag: He looks like a member of the Tech-Tech species, which debuted in Akira Toriyama's self-parody manga ''Nekomajin'' and have appeared many times in his other works.
* RudeHeroNiceSidekick: Just as anyone would be when put opposite to Vegeta, Irico acts as the Saiyan Prince's more diplomatic sidekick during their adventure to Yardrat.

[[folder:Moro]]
!!Moro (モロ Moro)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/moro_4.png]]
The main antagonist of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner saga. A powerful wizard who threatened Universe 7 about ten million years ago. Moro had the ability to drain the life out of entire planets and their inhabitants, which he used to wipe out life on 320 planets. His reign of terror was brought to an end by the Grand Supreme Kai who, at the cost of most of his divine might, managed to seal away Moro's magic. He was arrested by the Galactic Patrol, but Moro was too powerful to be executed, so they could only imprison him. Moro managed to escape with the aid of a former Frieza Force soldier named Cranberry and heads to New Namek in search of the Dragon Balls to restore the full extent of his magic.
----
* ArchEnemy: Moro is a personal enemy to Merus and the Grand Supreme Kai, with the warlock despising them deeply for sealing his magical power and jailing him for eons.
* AmbiguousSituation: A meta side effect of ContinuityDrift. Moro suffers a case of RememberTheNewGuy, with the Galactic Patrol keeping him under surveillance for eons, yet never mentioning such a dangerous villain. This makes the fate of the future timeline incarnation of Moro a complete mistery, with either Goku Black killing him somehow or simply ignoring he existed.
* AncientEvil: Has been imprisoned for ten million years, and is incredibly evil to the point of wiping out all life on 320 planets before being defeated.
* AndIMustScream: Implied to be the fate of the life forms he consumes. Goku notes that his Chi feels terrifying, as if a whole lot of people were screaming in pain. Merus confirms that his Chi indeed is a wall of slaughtered souls.
* BadassBeard: Has a huge beard, and is so immensely powerful that he can easily overwhelm a Super Saiyan 2 while badly weakened by his imprisonment.
* BadBoss: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. While Moro generally treats Cranberry with respect, he has no problems intimidating or threatening Cranberry on occasion. When Cranberry has second thoughts about wishing for Moro's magic to be restored, Moro threatens to chase him to the ends of the universe if he betrays him. [[spoiler:And once his full power is restored, he kills Cranberry so he could wish for a more useful army to assist him.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:The New Namek portion of his Saga ends in a decisive victory for Moro with him having succeeded in achieving all his goals up to that point. He's regained his true magical power, freed all the Galactic Prison inmates and made them his personal army, and beaten the heroes so decisively their only option is to abandon the planet to be devoured by him and run to regroup.]]
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: He's capable of breathing in space with no issue. [[spoiler:He intentionally exploits this by staying outside of Namek's atmosphere where Goku and Vegeta can't get at him, forcing the Grand Supreme Kai to fight him alone with Moro now at full power and thus strong enough his LogicalWeakness no longer troubles him.]]
* BeastMan: He resembles an anthropomorphic goat, including the beard. It goes well with his overall [[SatanicArchetype satanic motif]].
* BeardOfEvil: Fittingly for an EvilSorcerer designed to resemble a humanoid goat, he has quite the large beard. As he begins absorbing life energy and restoring his youth, the beard shrinks to a more manageable size. Upon completely draining New Namek of its energy, the beard disappears completely.
* BerserkButton: Anything relating to the Grand Supreme Kai. When a newly awakened Buu, who has unlocked the Grand Supreme Kai's memories, arrives on Planet Namek, Moro recognizes him as the Grand Supreme Kai and becomes so enraged that he breaks out of the restraining goo Merus trapped him in.
* BigBad: Of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga.
* BishonenLine: As Moro drains life energy from others, his youth is gradually restored. Over the course of the saga, he goes from an anorexic, hunchbacked old man to a slender, well-built young man.
* BondVillainStupidity: In typical Dragonball villain fashion. He doesn't bother to kill Goku and Vegeta after draining their energy because he believes they'll die soon anyway and are no longer of concern to him.
* BrainsEvilBrawnGood: Moro is extremely intelligent and cunning in contrast to the heroes, who typically rely on strength and martial capability to fight. This poses a problem, as Goku and Vegeta simply don't know how to deal with him because their previous villains relied primarily on a power edge rather than outsmarting them.
* BreathWeapon: Can fire ki blasts from his mouth.
* BroughtDownToBadass: At the cost of most of his divine power, the Grand Supreme Kai was able to seal Molo's magic away, but even after that he still proved very difficult to defeat by two beings rivaling Buu in power. Even fresh out of imprisonment and severely weakened, he's strong enough to easily overwhelm Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta with no effort, though Super Saiyan God Vegeta flattens him...though Moro quickly reveals he wasn't using his full strength either.
* TheChessmaster: One thing that makes Moro extremely dangerous and stand out from previous villains: he's an incredibly intelligent and competent planner. He's rarely the most powerful guy around, but wins by consistently remaining several steps ahead of the heroes throughout the arc with only a few things he could never have seen coming tripping him up. It turns out [[spoiler:he had an entire prison full of the single most dangerous criminals in the galaxy ready to join him from the get go and just needed his third wish to set them free.]]
* TheCoatsAreOff: When Super Saiyan God Vegeta starts giving him trouble, Moro removes his cloak and decides to start fighting seriously.
* ColonyDrop: He's shown attacking Grand Supreme Kai and South Kai by telekinetically sending entire barrages of comets with ease.
* CombatPragmatist: Moro is a very underhanded fighter, exploiting his passive energy drain by feigning weakness until it's too late, preventing Goku and Vegeta from fighting him by waiting outside New Namek's atmosphere where they can't go, and swarming them with his army of minions while hanging back to drain their energy until they can't fight back. The only time Moro fights with anything resembling fair play is when he knows he's got the power advantage an can afford to. This poses a major issue for Goku and Vegeta, as their usual tactic of 'level grind until we get strong enough to overpower them' isn't a viable option, as when Moro is overpowered, he simply changes strategies and makes up for the power difference with underhanded schemes.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: In general, Moro stands out majorly from previous villains in that he doesn't rely on strength and power, but intelligence and cunning. And unlike Imperfect Cell, rather than a means to grow stronger, he uses it as a means to win his battles outright. Unlike most villains who's reaction to someone stronger than them is a VillainousBreakdown or RageQuit, Moro's is to change his strategy and outsmart his opponents. For specific examples:
** To Demon King Piccolo. Both characters are ancient villains who had been sealed away long before the events of the story, both characters are incredibly cunning [[TheChessmaster chessmasters]], both characters started off incredibly elderly but regained their youth, both characters sought to regain their youth and create a world where anarchy and chaos reigns, and both characters sought the Dragon Balls to see their goals realized. However, King Piccolo used the Dragon Balls to regain his youth while Moro regained his youth by simply draining the life out of planets and people and used the Dragon Balls [[spoiler:to free his fellow inmates from the Galactic Prison so he can have an army at his side]].
** To Frieza. Both characters are immensely powerful beings who are feared throughout Universe 7 and both characters sought to use the Namekian Dragon Balls for their sinister purposes. But while Frieza relied on his army to do most of the leg work, Moro was effective enough to search for the Dragon Balls by himself. Also, while Frieza ultimately failed to obtain a wish on the Dragon Balls, Moro managed to wish for the restoration of his full magic power as well as the second wish [[spoiler: of gaining an army (made of the Galactic Patrol prisoners) he can increase in power]].
** To Babidi. Both characters are powerful wizards with a personal grudge against the Kais, but that's where the similarities end. Moro is an imposing humanoid goat while Babidi is a diminutive insectoid figure. Babidi relied entirely on his magic to be an actual threat while Moro is a skilled fighter even without his magic. Babidi also relied on more powerful beings to aid him while Moro is an effective threat on his own. [[spoiler:Both characters lead an army of powerful warriors, but where Babidi relied on brainwashing to keep subordinates in line, Moro is charismatic enough that his minions are genuinely loyal to him.]]
* CurbStompBattle:
** After absorbing Goku and Vegeta's energy, Moro becomes strong enough to effortlessly beat both of them into the ground. The fight becomes so one-sided that Goku is forced to do something he rarely does: [[KnowWhenToFoldEm run from a fight.]] Unfortunately, he's lost so much energy that he can't even use Instant Transmission and Moro finishes them both by draining what's left of their energy. Only a timely rescue by Esca and the Namekian elder saves the both of them from certain death.
** A group of Namekian warriors fuse together to form a Super Namekian and charge at Moro from behind... only for Moro to impale him through the chest without even turning to look at him. Moro even hangs a sadistic lampshade on it to rub it in.
--->'''Moro:''' Was ''this'' your savior, by chance? Apologies. He was dead before I could see his face.
** Moro finally finds himself on the receiving end when he faces off against Majin Buu, who shrugs off everything the sorcerer tosses at him and kicks him around like a ragdoll. It's made worse by the fact that Moro's energy draining abilities are completely ineffective against Buu. Which is spectacularly ironic, as not only was Majin Buu created by ''another'' evil wizard, Buu is capable of a different type of absorption. [[WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures "Magic must defeat magic"]], ''[[TakesOneToKillOne indeed]]''. [[spoiler:Once he regains his full power, however, he wastes no time returning the favor.]]
* CurbStompCushion: His fight with Vegeta. At first, Moro is able to hold his own against Super Sayian Vegeta, effortlessly dodging his attacks and using his telekinesis to keep him at bay. The tables are turned, however, when Vegeta goes Super Sayian God and shrugs off everything Moro throws at him. With his back against the wall, Moro decides to start fighting seriously and use the full extent of his magic. Subverted as it turned out that he was playing them the entire time: he was passively absorbing his and Goku's energy the entire time and by the time they realize it, they've lost so much energy they can't even transform. At that point it goes into a straight CurbStompBattle on both and all they managed to accomplish is make Moro stronger.
* DiabolicalMastermind: Became this by [[spoiler:releasing the entire Galactic Patrol prison and becoming the leader of the galaxy's most dangerous criminals who stole the prison's resources and ships as they left.]] On top of this, he's one of the most intelligent and cunning ''Dragon Ball'' villains, often winning his battles through intelligence and well thought out schemes rather than brute force.
* DealWithTheDevil:
** Moro makes a deal with Cranberry where if Cranberry helped him gather the Namekian Dragon Balls and restore his magic, he would let Cranberry use the Dragon Balls to make a wish of his own. [[spoiler:Once his magic is restored, Moro kills Cranberry to make another wish.]]
** Chapter 50 reveals that [[spoiler:Moro made a deal with the other Galactic Patrol prisoners where he would use the Dragon Balls to free them and share his power with them.]]
* EvilIsBigger: Moro is an extremely evil wizard who towers over Vegeta and Goku.
* EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler:Betrays and murders Cranberry after gaining his full power.]]
* EvilSorcerer: He uses magic to absorb life energy from planets and their inhabitants.
* GatheringSteam: Moro passively absorbs energy as he fights, thus Moro gradually grows stronger while his opponent grows weaker.
* GeniusBruiser: Moro isn't just a powerful fighter and sorcerer, he's an exceptionally intelligent strategist. Many of Moro's victories in the arc are not the result of brute strength, but because he's always five steps ahead of his opponents and can improvise when something goes wrong. [[spoiler:By chapter 50, he's got an army of the most dangerous criminals in the galaxy, all loyal to him.]]
* GreatEscape: [[spoiler:It turns out his plan all along and his third wish was to shut down the Galactic Prison's power and set the entire prison's free. This gives him a huge army composed of the most dangerous criminals in the galaxy, now loyal to him.]]
* IAmAHumanitarian: Drains living beings of their life energy, converts it to a sphere and eats it. This makes it slightly worrying when his reaction to sensing the Saiyans' ki (either of whom has more energy than most of the other mortals in universe 7 combined) is excitement.
* KnightOfCerebus: While [[HeroAntagonist Jiren]] and [[AntiVillain Broly]] were treated seriously, the conflicts with both characters ended on peaceful terms. Moro's introduction to the series brings a level of darkness not seen since the Future Trunks Saga, with the saga opening with a flashback showing Moro draining the life out of an entire planet and its inhabitants. Moro's introduction also features graphic levels of violence not seen since ''Z'', with characters being gruesomely impaled or burned alive.
* LackOfEmpathy: He views all other beings as nothing but food and treats them as such. Vegeta even calls him out on it when he saves a Namekian child from him.
-> '''Moro''':"You would dare interrupt my long-awaited meal?"\\
'''Vegeta''':"I have a troubled history with these Namekians. I did them untold harm. So no, I can't allow even one more of them to perish. And they are most certainly not your food."
* LeanAndMean: When first introduced, Moro is incredibly anorexic due to being imprisoned and unable to feed. As he begins draining the life out of Planet Namek, he starts to gain some muscle tone, but is still skinnier than the average ''Dragon Ball'' villain.
* LifeDrinker: Moro is an immortal wizard that has existed since the old days before Majin Buu's rampage, millions of years ago, and he obtains power by absorbing the life force of planets and people. During the ''Galactic Patrol'' saga, he regains his youth the more he stays on Planet Namek and the more he fights Goku, Vegeta and the Namekians; he starts with a BadassBeard and looking like a crouched old man, and ends as a young goat-man with no beard whatsoever.
* LightningBruiser: Despite his age and his weakened state, Moro is surprisingly agile for someone of his size, effortlessly dodging Vegeta's attacks. His telekinesis is powerful enough to send Vegeta flying like a ragdoll. And he is also quite physically strong despite his slim figure.
* LogicalWeakness: His fighting style relies on draining his opponent to increase his own strength. This means someone with a low power level but a technology that can affect him can fair better than someone with a high power level. Good Buu's nature means Moro can't drain his power, so Buu has an edge on him, at least in his weakened state. [[spoiler:Once he's at full power it's no longer a problem.]]
* MagicKnight: He is stated to be a powerful physical fighter even if he prefers using magic.
* ManaDrain: Not only can he eat the life energy of a planet, he can passively absorb the ki of his opponents. By the time Goku and Vegeta realize he's doing it, it's too late and he's already drained so much of their energy they can't transform. He can also ''eat'' ki attacks.
* TheManTheyCouldntHang: The Galactic Patrol has tried to execute him, but he's too powerful for any of their attempts to work.
* MindOverMatter: Has powerful telekinesis. In his prime, he was able to casually rain down ''comets'' during his fight with the Grand Supreme Kai.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: When Goku locks onto him to Instant Transmission to teleport to him, he's shocked to find Moro instantly senses this, something no one else has ever done. He is also capable of sensing the energy of inanimate objects like the Dragon Balls, a feat previously unseen in the series.
* OutGambitted: Does this to Vegeta. Vegeta thought he'd outsmarted Moro and tricked him into reveal his plans, but in reality Moro was playing him and Goku the entire time: he was secretly absorbing their energy the entire time and all Vegeta's talking and getting Moro to talk did was giving him more time to do just that. By the time they realize it, he'd eaten so much of their energy they can't even go ''base Super Saiyan''.
--> '''Moro:''' To borrow a phrase from you...I was hiding ''my'' true intent.
* OutsideContextProblem: One reason he gives Goku and Vegeta so much trouble is because Moro is so drastically different than anyone they've fought before. Unlike every previous main villain, Moro isn't a threat because of sheer power (at full power Goku and Vegeta in Blue could beat him in a straight fight, at least at the level he's at on New Namek), but because of his strange abilities which he is extremely proficient in using effectively and [[TheChessmaster his strategic intelligence]]. As a result, their attempts to fight him like previous villains backfire catastrophically because they simply don't work on him. This is best shown with Vegeta's first fight with him: he 'starts slow' in lower forms and works his way up to his strongest as is often the way fights are done...and this played completely into Moro's hand and let him slowly drain their energy until they ''can't'' assume a form that can beat Moro. Both Goku and Vegeta finally realize this is indeed the case with Moro and that their normal tactics simply can't work on him. [[spoiler:To that end, Goku decides to train under Merus in hopes of achieving Ultra Instinct while Vegeta heads to planet Yardrat to learn a technique to help him defeat Moro.]]
* PhysicalGod: He's so immensely powerful that he was giving a CurbStompBattle to South Supreme Kai and Grand Supreme Kai at the same time, and this was a Grand Supreme Kai who would've been able to easily take out Buu. The only way the Grand Supreme Kai was able to beat him was to permanently sacrifice the majority of his power into one attack to seal him away.
* PlanetEater: Steals the life energy of entire planets and literally consumes it to increase his already massive strength, being essentially able to do what the Tree of Might could ''naturally''. He did this to 320 planets before being stopped. It's also his RedBaron. It turns out he doesn't even have to absorb the energy to weaponize it.
* RapePillageAndBurn: Without the first one, obviously, but [[spoiler:once he gets his army of the worst criminals in the universe, they go on a rampage across space, pillaging anything of value, slaughtering the inhabitants, and finally Moro devours the planet's life force.]]
* RedBaron: 'Planet Eater' Moro.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Moro's name (which can be alternatively spelled as "Molo") presumably comes from Moloch, the name of a Canaanite deity.
* SealedEvilInACan: After being defeated by the Supreme Kais, the Galactic Patrol tried to execute him. Since they didn't have anything with enough juice to really hurt him, they instead imprisoned him for life. His power has finally began to return, allowing him to escape. This actually weakened him immensely, and his desired wish on the Dragon Balls is to have his full power restored.
* SignatureMove: Seems to have a preference for impaling people on his arm.
* SuperEmpowering: Moro can empower others with his magic, which he uses to [[spoiler:empower the Galactic Patrol prisoners for their fight with Goku and Vegeta.]]
* SuperpowerLottery: While Moro is a capable fighter in his own right, the wizard's true strength comes from his ability to manipulate life energy. Even with the bulk of his magic sealed, Moro is exceptionally powerful. Moro can absorb the life of other beings and entire planets, adding it to his already immense strength. Moro can also directly weaponize the life energy of the planet he's on for both offensive and defensive purposes and because this technique comes from the energy of the planet rather than his own, he can use this technique until the planet itself dies, providing Moro a potentially unlimited source of energy. Moro's ability to sense energy is the most advanced shown in the series as he can not only sense the energy of beings from vast distances, but can also tell when someone's sensing his energy and can sense the energy of inanimate objects such as the Dragon Balls. Moro's most dangerous ability, however, is that he can passively drain an opponent's energy while fighting, allowing him to grow stronger and overtake his opponent if a fight drags on for too long. Moro can also impart a bit of his power to others to make them stronger.
* SupportPartyMember: His energy draining abilities allow him to act as this. Moro's control over his energy drain is precise enough that he can choose who he wants to drain, allowing him to weaken enemies while keeping allies at full strength. [[spoiler:During the fight with the Galactic Prisoners, Goku and Vegeta dominate the fight at first, but Moro begins draining their energy, allowing the prisoners to gain the upper hand.]]
* TimeAbyss: Faced the Supreme Kais Ten Million Years ago, well before their clash with Majin Buu. The amount of life force he's eaten is the reason for this.
* ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil: In Chapter 50, Moro states that his ultimate goal is to create an ideal galaxy where he is free to consume planets as he wishes and peace doesn't exist. [[spoiler:And once Moro has his army of criminals, they go on a galaxy-wide rampage, with his minions looting planets of their resources before letting Moro devour its life force.]]
* VillainousLegacy: His rampage forced the Grand Supreme Kai to sacrifice most of his power to seal him away, leaving the Supreme Kais vulnerable to Majin Buu's rampage, as before that sacrifice the Grand Supreme Kai would've been more than strong enough to defeat Buu singlehandedly.
* WeakButSkilled: Downplayed in that Moro isn't ''weak'' per se, but unlike the majority of ''Dragon Ball's'' villains who rely on raw strength to overpower their opponents, Moro relies on his strange magical abilities and his deceptive cunning to win. Many of his victories throughout the saga are due to him constantly outwitting his opponents with clever underhanded strategies.
* WizardsFromOuterSpace: He's an alien wizard.
* WouldHurtAChild: When confronted with Goku and Vegeta on New Namek, his first act is to telekinetically grab a Namekian child. Not as a hostage, but as ''food'', though Vegeta saves him.
* WrongContextMagic: Moro is ''very'' different from anyone else in that his threat is ''not'' dependent on his own ki or power, as immense as it is. Rather, he can weaponize the energy of the planet he's ''standing on'', and its only limit is how long the planet survives. He can also passively ManaDrain his opponents and his magic in general makes him an extremely dangerous foe.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Once he has his full strength back, he instantly impales Cranberry and kills him. Considering he wished to shut down the Galactic Patrol prison to free some of the most dangerous criminals, he probably considered them far more valuable than Cranberry anyways.]]

* AssholeVictim: Unlike Moro's other victims, Cranberry gets absolutely no sympathy for what he's done considering that he helped Moro slaughter many Namekians to gather the Dragon Balls and he mercilessly killed Grand Elder Moori.
* DangerousDeserter: He was captured by the Galactic Patrol at one point in time,and he is a survivor from Namek.

[[caption-width-right:350:The Galactic Patrol Symbol]]
The Galactic Patrol also known as the Space Police and the Galaxy Police is a cosmic police force that is led directly by the Galactic King and helps keep order throughout the Milky Way Galaxy. While many of the members are powerful they did not have enough power to oppose the Frieza Force or even the Saiyans alone around Age 739. The Galactic Patrol also upholds a strict law forbidding the usage of time travel.
----
* DependingOnTheWriter: Are they competent or incompetent? The answer is somewhat in the middle, depending on [[RuleOfFunny on whatever's funny at the time]].
* GoodCounterpart: To the Frieza Force. Unlike the Frieza Force, they fight for order in the galaxy instead of ruling it with an iron fist.
* RememberTheNewGuy: While the concept of a galactic police force is present in non-canonical works like the [[AllThereInTheManual backstory of one of Turles goons]] in ''Anime/DragonBallZTheTreeOfMight'' only available in the danzenshuu, and a ancient police force is referenced in ''Anime/DragonBallEpisodeOfBardock'', the Galactic Patrol was never referenced in the original manga during the moments involving space.
* SchrodingersCanon: Is unknown if ''Jiya'' and ''Sachie-Chan Good'' are part of the ''Dragon Ball'' canon, as they are never referenced.

A member of the Galactic Patrol Who outwardly resembles an imposing mechanical man, but beneath this exterior visage Jiya is in fact an intelligent microorganism who operates a robot suit to keep up with his peers. He originally starred in an unrelated self-titled manga miniseries by Akira Toriyama, which was released a few years before ''Manga/JacoTheGalacticPatrolman''.

* TheCameo: He and others of his species make several cameos in the “Galactic Patrol Prisoner” arc aboard the Patrol’s HQ ship.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Jiya’s body-swapping adventures on Earth are documented in the ''Jiya'' manga series, but aside from being the first full appearance of the Galactic Patrol in Toriyama’s work, it has nothing to do with Dragon Ball.

[[quoteright:212:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jaco_patrullero_galactico_by_saodvd_d8o3yng.png]]
->'''Voiced by (Japanese):''' Creator/NatsukiHanae (Anime), Creator/TsubasaYonaga (Vomic)
->'''Voiced by (English):''' Creator/ToddHaberkorn
->'''Voiced by (Latin American Spanish):''' Bruno Coronel[[note]]Credited under the stage name "Bruno Neptuno" for ''Super''[[/note]]
A self-proclaimed "super elite" member of the Galactic Patrol, was sent to Earth by the Galactic King for the purpose of eliminating a hostile alien threat.
----
* AdaptationalWimp: While he establishes himself as a BadassNormal in ''Resurrection F'', in ''Super'' he did nothing against Frieza except warning Bulma. He does later shows his skills in Episode 31, when he quickly liberates a hostage from a criminal and freaks out said criminal.
* AmusingAlien: He's pretty much like a member of the [[Anime/DragonBallZ Ginyu Force]], except not evil.
* BarbieDollAnatomy: Is actually naked most of the time and pees from the sides of his head.
* BerserkButton: He hates being called short or being mistaken as a masked man, and he would kill a human for it. He even carries a virus inside his pocket that would kill all humans on Earth (the virus only works on weak races).
* ButtMonkey: There are a lot of jokes made at Jaco's expense.
** Jaco is basically Bulma's butt monkey, often taking physical hits from her and threatened to have Vegeta sought on him.
** In the fight against Piccolo and Frost, Jaco points out Frost is cheating and requests an inspection. A furious Champa declares that if Frost was found to be clean he would kill Jaco, to which Jaco withdraws his statement. However, Beerus and Vegeta both insist with the inspection, adding that they don't care if Jaco dies.
** When Jaco thinks he will be absorbed by the Comméson, it passes by him and chases after Goten and Trunks, wanting their powers. Jaco angrily declares it was rude that the Comméson didn't think his powers were worth absorbing.
* CombatPragmatist: He uses tactics, his blaster, martial arts and surrounding areas to defeat [[spoiler: Frieza's]] army. It works.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: He acts like a short-tempered idiot, often making people doubt about his claims of being a super elite. When he goes into action, he's just as good as he brags about.
* DittoAliens: The only other member of his species we see is identical to him apart from being slightly taller.
* EskimosArentReal: Mixed with FlatEarthAtheist. By the start of ''Resurrection F'', he doesn't believe in Beerus. He quickly comes to know better.
* FishOutOfWater: Heavily downplayed. Jaco came to Earth after studying up on the local culture (the basics are covered in a 4-hour tape course, and doing so is apparently standard practice). He is aware of what local foods he's capable of eating (dairy products), for example, but isn't initially aware of what the local currency looks like (which he figures out as soon as some is handed to him) and accidentally attacks some police officers because he doesn't recognize their uniforms.
* FlatEarthAtheist: As mentioned above, in a universe full of superhumans, magic users and, in general, beings that can destroy planets with their fingers, he didn't believe in the existence of Beerus. This is despite the fact that Bulma (a personal friend, and one who happens to be a woman of science) could attest to his existence.
%%* TheGreys
* IllPretendIDidntHearThat: Jaco would rather pretend that there's no Saiyans on Earth or ignore Whis rewinding time. (The latter case is probably helped by the fact that Whis is the God of Destruction's attendant, and the strongest being in all of Universe 7.)
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Abrasive, condensending, self-centered, and egotistical, but he can usually be counted upon to do the right thing regardless, even to his detriment.
* MeaningfulName: Jaco's name is a food pun, naturally, that can be taking as meaning fish bait or small fish. In Japanese, his name is also a pun of a storytelling device where a character is insignificant to the greater story. Which fits Jaco perfectly since his one major achievement, saving East City, is rendered meaningless since Nappa destroys the city in about twenty years anyway. He also fails in his mission to stop the hostile alien coming to Earth, but since said alien was Goku, that screw-up ends up saving the universe several times over.
* MistakenForAliens: Inverted. Over the course of the comic he is mistaken for a foreigner, a masked superhero and a robot. (The thing about him being a foreigner is more sensible than it seems at first, as he doesn't stick out ''at all'' in the East City.)
* TheNapoleon: He is extremely sensitive about his height.
* OnlySaneMan: He fights alongside the Great Saiyamen in ''Xenoverse 2'', and is unamused with their LargeHam behavior.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: He's considered an incompetent compared to the rest of the Galactic Patrol. Considering he can casually lift his own spaceship and [[BulletCatch catch a speeding bullet]] ''[[OffhandBackhand without looking]]'', the others must be formidable. Counting Jiya (if taken as canon) and Merus, he is definitely an incompetent by comparison.
** Jaco himself admits that he could not beat an adult Saiyan, so his power must be below 1,200 (if you consider Raditz as a comparison)
* PinballProtagonist: Sent to Earth to intercept the alien threat, he fails in his mission as Kakarot's pod slips right past him and his only real achievement on Earth is saving East City from destruction. ... Which would end up being completely destroyed by Vegeta and Nappa a mere 23 years later anyway.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: It's also lampshaded that he's quite strong despite his small size.
* PoliceAreUseless: [[ZigZaggedTrope Zigzagged]]. There are times where he’s competent at his job and is only really hampered by the fact that he’s at the bottom rungs of the SuperWeight scale, such as when he takes on Frieza’s men with the other Z-Fighters and holds his own, along with apprehending a violent gun-toting Burp Man. However, his apathetic attitude can severely hamper his effectiveness at doing his job, such as when he was guarding Watagash, ''a civilisation-ending parasite'', but drops his guard to have something to eat at a nearby food stand, even brushing off the food vendor when he tells him to keep on eye on his prisoner, all of which would likely have cost him his job had such laziness been witnessed by his colleagues.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Has apparently been visiting Bulma's family since she was a small child, but isn't mentioned anywhere in the Dragon Ball franchise until ''Anime/DragonBallZResurrectionF''.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: His reaction to being asked to help take on Frieza. In ''Resurrection 'F''' he is however willing to help out against the army of mooks.
* ShooOutTheClowns: They stopped mentioning him since the ''Future Trunks'' saga.
* SmallNameBigEgo: He always calls himself to a Super Elite, but it is often shown that he has rather sloppy and is not as competent as he is wants to be. He also gets only outdated equipments and spacecrafts, and other Galactic Patrolmen see him only as an idiot. And since Earth is an InsignificantLittleBluePlanet, the King of the Galaxy does not even care if Jaco succeeds or fails at his mission. After ''Resurrection F'' arc in ''Dragon Ball Super'', he's promoted.
* SpacePolice: Super Elite Patrolman of the galaxy [[spoiler: which isn't as special as it sounds. The job has a 55% hire rate, it's just positions usually are not open because only 38 are needed.]]
* SuperSenses: ''Nothing'' escapes his sight. Not even things that escape the one of ''Beerus''. It helps him to reveal that [[spoiler: Frost is a cheater and villain.]]
* SuperStrength: He is very strong, but he states he would be in trouble if he's facing an adult Saiyan.
* TinyGuyHugeGirl: His girlfriend is taller than him, then it is [[DittoAliens hard to tell which is which.]]
* TitleDrop: In ''VideoGame/DragonballXenoverse'', his Hero Pose super has him introduce himself as "Galactic Patrolman, Jaco."
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The only things he needs to consume on Earth are milk and cheese.
* VitriolicBestBuds: It's shown that he is this to Bulma and her sister, Tights. It's mutual.
* WalkingSpoiler: His appearances in ''Dragon Ball'' works proper spoil his own title.
* WeakButSkilled:
** He doen't know how to fly or use ki. ''He still beats Frieza's army like other fighters.''
** ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' shows him seeing and picking up on things that people much more powerful than him, such as all the Z Fighters and even ''Beerus'', fail to notice.
* WhatYouAreInTheDark: When he takes Bulma to see Master Zuno, he sees that Burp Man is the one ahead of him in line. He could arrest the guy then and there, but he posits that it'll lead to Burp Man telling the Galactic Patrol that Jaco used him as TheScapegoat when Jaco himself destroyed a valuable monument. He's about to leave the guy to his devices when Bulma mentions that Beerus threatened to destroy Universe 7, and that they'll all have to hope he was joking. With the universe on the line, despite the fact that he'd be in the clear if he just ignored Burp Man, Jaco then risks getting caught, subdues Burp Man when he takes a hostage, and gains Bulma audience with Zuno.

A girl that Jaco and Omori encounter in East City, fascinated with aliens and outer space. Is also a stunt double for An Azuki's rocket launch as well as the eldest daughter of Dr. Brief.
----
* BareYourMidriff: Just about every outfit she wore in her teenage years have her in this.
* {{Expy}}: Is similar in a number of ways to Bulma from ''Manga/DragonBall''. And for good reason too, as she's Bulma's older sister.
* IShouldWriteABookAboutThis: Became a successful science fiction novelist in the epilogue, however [[WhoWouldWantToWatchUs her book based on Jaco]], ''Space Police Chako'', [[SelfDeprecation was a flop]].
* MsFanservice: Downplayed for the most part (especially compared to her younger sister Bulma's moments), but the Dragon Ball Minus bonus chapter of ''Jaco'' features Tights taking a dip in the ocean, complete with a WalkingSwimsuitScene.
* NiceHat: She wears some nice looking hats during her teenage years.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: Subverted. [[spoiler:When Jaco pisses her on her face, she pushes him from the cliff, following that he misses to notice the alien threat landing on Earth. On the other hand, the said alien "threat" was Son Goku, so Tights actually saved Goku's life.]]
* OnlyOneName: The only character introduced to have only one name. [[spoiler: Considering that the vast majority of the ''Dragon Ball'' cast have only one name, including her family, she follows this trend.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: When she first appears in ''Super'', she looks to be in her 30's. She's actually ''58''.
* PunnyName: It foreshadows her relatives.
* RememberTheNewGuy: Tights being Bulma's previously unmentioned older sister is handwaved by her being extremely independent, and thus unlikely to be around Capsule Corp and by her parents being extremely absentminded and unlikely to remember she exists. This gets a giant lampshade in ''Dragon Ball Super'' when Bulma casually says she's going to call her sister, and both Goku (who's known her for decades) and Vegeta (Bulma's husband) react with "You have a sister?!"
** Note that she is also 11 years older than Bulma is, and thus would have been 27 and trying to start her career during the events of the first few arcs of ''Dragon Ball''.
** Amusingly, with Tights both Vegeta and Bulma have something in common: a long lost relative, with Tarble.
* ShesGotLegs: As with BareYourMidriff above, Tights' clothing during her teenage years also exposed her rather slim legs.
* StuntDouble: InUniverse. To An Azuki for the rocket launch, the implication being that Tights is being considered completely expendable on a program with a terrible record.
* TeenGenius: Graduated from the university at the age of 16. Evidently, it runs in the family.
* WalkingSpoiler: Again, her presence in ''Dragon Ball'' titled works end up spoiling her debut manga.
* WalkingSwimsuitScene: As mentioned above, the majority of the Dragon Ball Minus bonus chapter of ''Jaco'' features Tights walking around in her swimsuit following her dip in the ocean.

* HeelFaceTurn: Only does so after all the action is over, though. Specifically, it's prompted when he finds out that Tights is a StuntDouble aboard a spaceship that he watched fail so spectacularly, but the way he says it implies that he's been losing patience with the government for a while.
* MediumAwareness: He realizes to a certain extent that time travels in panels.

->Voiced by Ken Uo (Japanese), Bob Reed (English), Daniel Lacy (Latin American Spanish)
The Galactic King is the king of the Milky Way Galaxy. He joins Jaco and the crew for the tournament between Universe 6 and Universe 7.
----
* AccentAdaptation: He's given a German accent in the English dub.
* AscendedExtra: He actually first appears during the last chapter of ''Jaco The Space Patrolman'', ''Dragon Ball Minus'', where he gives Jaco the order to kill Goku who is going to Earth. Luckily, Jaco failed at that. In ''Super'', he is given more of a role during the Tournament between Universe 6 and 7 in helping Goku have some idea of what the powers of Hit, from universe 6, are.
* BizarreAlienBiology: At least one of his many tentacles serves as a genital, though they are indistinguishable (this is true of real-world octopuses as well).
* CloudCuckooLander: As can be gathered from the other tropes listed here, the Galactic King has a rather odd sense of priorities, but his status as a CloudCuckooLander is fully solidified in the “Galactic Patrol Prisoner” arc, where his induction ceremony for Goku and Vegeta into the Patrol lists off a number of arbitrary codes of conduct, such as a rule that members of the Patrol may not use their police credentials to pick up girls.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He's only referred to by title, not name.
* ExposedExtraterrestrials: Wears no clothing except a crown, though as an octopus this doesn't exactly reveal anything.
* TheGoodKing: He runs a galactic police force that helps to keep peace throughout the Milky Way galaxy.
* MistakenForRomance: Mistaken by Bulma for being Jaco's girlfriend.
* MrExposition: Is the first one to figure out how Hit's technique works, and explains its limitations to Goku.
* OctopoidAliens: He resembles a large green octopus wearing a crown.
* PoliceAreUseless: Combining everything we know about them from ''Manga/JacoTheGalacticPatrolman'', ''Manga/DragonBallSuper'', and official statements from Creator/AkiraToriyama, it seems that the Galactic Patrol (including the King himself, who's said to be their strongest member) are completely useless against beings anywhere near as strong as Frieza's first form (who had a power level over half a million during a time where one-hundred thousand was considered outstanding), only patrol the Milky Way, don't care for backwater planets like Earth, and spend most of their time chasing people like Burpman who commit misdemeanor crimes.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Creator/AkiraToriyama has stated that instead of just giving orders to the Galactic Patrol, the king directly aids them, even going so far as to help them combat evil-doers. Unfortunately, even with the king and every single other member teaming up, their combined might is ''still'' not enough to manage anything against Frieza even in his weakest form.

!!'''Merus (メルス; ''Merusu'')'''
[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/merusu_artwork_toyotaro.png]]
TheAce of the Galactic Patrol. Introduced in the Galactic Patrol saga.
----
* TheAce: A captain that is in charge of 140 sectors of the seventh universe.
* [[AmbiguouslyHuman Ambiguously Mortal]]: There's many hints throughout the Galactic Patrol Saga that Merus is much more than he seems. He has no ki signature, is extremely fast and has knowledge of Ultra Instinct, an ability that not even many top-tier gods are aware of. Plus, his complexion and hair are distinctly Angelic or Kai-like.
* CombatPragmatist: He takes down Goku and Vegeta with an anaesthesia gun instead of facing them head on.
* TheDreaded: Among the criminal populace of the galaxy, Merus is unilaterally feared for being the most competent and decorated Galactic Patrolman.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: His straight-laced, efficient and pragmatic personality is established in his first appearance, in which he harmlessly ambushes Goku and Vegeta with an anaesthesia gun instead of trying to attack them head-on or announce his intentions.
* IAmNotLeftHanded: Revelations about the extent to Merus's true power are gradually drip-fed to us over the course of his debut arc. Initially, he appears to be a highly competent and speedy but not exceptionally strong Patrolman, but his feats include briefly binding Moro, holding his own against Super Saiyan 3 Goku and later revealing that he does in fact know of Ultra Instinct. His ki is also noted by Vegeta to be unreadable.
* MysteriousPast: Merus carries an aura of intrigue mainly due to his extremely high power level.
* OnlySixFaces: Looks just like a purple-skinned Android 17, though his hairstyle lacks 17's iconic curtains.
* SimpleStaff: Merus wields one during his training with Goku, making him somewhat resemble Whis.
* TheStoic: Compared to the majority of Galactic Patrol members, Merus takes his job ''very'' seriously and lacks any silly quirks.
* SuperSpeed: Established of having SuperSpeed, and is fast enough to take down (base) Goku and Vegeta by surprise. He's so fast that he can dodge attacks from Super Saiyan 3 Goku with minimal effort.

* AmbiguouslyRelated: There is no confirmed source that states Irico is a Tech Tech alien. He does however appears to be from the same race as [[Characters/DragonBallOthers Gure]], [[Characters/DragonBallSaiyans Tarble's wife]].
* TheGenericGuy: Irico doesn't have Jaco's incompetence or quirky traits, or Merus [[TheAce competence]] and mystery, he is just a unremarkable patroller.
* MistakenIdentity: The Yardrats somehow keep mistaking Irico for Vegeta when they arrive on their planet.
* MythologyGag: He looks like a member of the Tech-Tech species, which debuted in Akira Toriyama's self-parody manga ''Nekomajin'' and have appeared many times in his other works.
* RudeHeroNiceSidekick: Just as anyone would be when put opposite to Vegeta, Irico acts as the Saiyan Prince's more diplomatic sidekick during their adventure to Yardrat.

[[folder:Moro]]
!!Moro (モロ Moro)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/moro_4.png]]
The main antagonist of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner saga. A powerful wizard who threatened Universe 7 about ten million years ago. Moro had the ability to drain the life out of entire planets and their inhabitants, which he used to wipe out life on 320 planets. His reign of terror was brought to an end by the Grand Supreme Kai who, at the cost of most of his divine might, managed to seal away Moro's magic. He was arrested by the Galactic Patrol, but Moro was too powerful to be executed, so they could only imprison him. Moro managed to escape with the aid of a former Frieza Force soldier named Cranberry and heads to New Namek in search of the Dragon Balls to restore the full extent of his magic.
----
* ArchEnemy: Moro is a personal enemy to Merus and the Grand Supreme Kai, with the warlock despising them deeply for sealing his magical power and jailing him for eons.
* AmbiguousSituation: A meta side effect of ContinuityDrift. Moro suffers a case of RememberTheNewGuy, with the Galactic Patrol keeping him under surveillance for eons, yet never mentioning such a dangerous villain. This makes the fate of the future timeline incarnation of Moro a complete mistery, with either Goku Black killing him somehow or simply ignoring he existed.
* AncientEvil: Has been imprisoned for ten million years, and is incredibly evil to the point of wiping out all life on 320 planets before being defeated.
* AndIMustScream: Implied to be the fate of the life forms he consumes. Goku notes that his Chi feels terrifying, as if a whole lot of people were screaming in pain. Merus confirms that his Chi indeed is a wall of slaughtered souls.
* BadassBeard: Has a huge beard, and is so immensely powerful that he can easily overwhelm a Super Saiyan 2 while badly weakened by his imprisonment.
* BadBoss: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]]. While Moro generally treats Cranberry with respect, he has no problems intimidating or threatening Cranberry on occasion. When Cranberry has second thoughts about wishing for Moro's magic to be restored, Moro threatens to chase him to the ends of the universe if he betrays him. [[spoiler:And once his full power is restored, he kills Cranberry so he could wish for a more useful army to assist him.]]
* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:The New Namek portion of his Saga ends in a decisive victory for Moro with him having succeeded in achieving all his goals up to that point. He's regained his true magical power, freed all the Galactic Prison inmates and made them his personal army, and beaten the heroes so decisively their only option is to abandon the planet to be devoured by him and run to regroup.]]
* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: He's capable of breathing in space with no issue. [[spoiler:He intentionally exploits this by staying outside of Namek's atmosphere where Goku and Vegeta can't get at him, forcing the Grand Supreme Kai to fight him alone with Moro now at full power and thus strong enough his LogicalWeakness no longer troubles him.]]
* BeastMan: He resembles an anthropomorphic goat, including the beard. It goes well with his overall [[SatanicArchetype satanic motif]].
* BeardOfEvil: Fittingly for an EvilSorcerer designed to resemble a humanoid goat, he has quite the large beard. As he begins absorbing life energy and restoring his youth, the beard shrinks to a more manageable size. Upon completely draining New Namek of its energy, the beard disappears completely.
* BerserkButton: Anything relating to the Grand Supreme Kai. When a newly awakened Buu, who has unlocked the Grand Supreme Kai's memories, arrives on Planet Namek, Moro recognizes him as the Grand Supreme Kai and becomes so enraged that he breaks out of the restraining goo Merus trapped him in.
* BigBad: Of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner Saga.
* BishonenLine: As Moro drains life energy from others, his youth is gradually restored. Over the course of the saga, he goes from an anorexic, hunchbacked old man to a slender, well-built young man.
* BondVillainStupidity: In typical Dragonball villain fashion. He doesn't bother to kill Goku and Vegeta after draining their energy because he believes they'll die soon anyway and are no longer of concern to him.
* BrainsEvilBrawnGood: Moro is extremely intelligent and cunning in contrast to the heroes, who typically rely on strength and martial capability to fight. This poses a problem, as Goku and Vegeta simply don't know how to deal with him because their previous villains relied primarily on a power edge rather than outsmarting them.
* BreathWeapon: Can fire ki blasts from his mouth.
* BroughtDownToBadass: At the cost of most of his divine power, the Grand Supreme Kai was able to seal Molo's magic away, but even after that he still proved very difficult to defeat by two beings rivaling Buu in power. Even fresh out of imprisonment and severely weakened, he's strong enough to easily overwhelm Super Saiyan 2 Vegeta with no effort, though Super Saiyan God Vegeta flattens him...though Moro quickly reveals he wasn't using his full strength either.
* TheChessmaster: One thing that makes Moro extremely dangerous and stand out from previous villains: he's an incredibly intelligent and competent planner. He's rarely the most powerful guy around, but wins by consistently remaining several steps ahead of the heroes throughout the arc with only a few things he could never have seen coming tripping him up. It turns out [[spoiler:he had an entire prison full of the single most dangerous criminals in the galaxy ready to join him from the get go and just needed his third wish to set them free.]]
* TheCoatsAreOff: When Super Saiyan God Vegeta starts giving him trouble, Moro removes his cloak and decides to start fighting seriously.
* ColonyDrop: He's shown attacking Grand Supreme Kai and South Kai by telekinetically sending entire barrages of comets with ease.
* CombatPragmatist: Moro is a very underhanded fighter, exploiting his passive energy drain by feigning weakness until it's too late, preventing Goku and Vegeta from fighting him by waiting outside New Namek's atmosphere where they can't go, and swarming them with his army of minions while hanging back to drain their energy until they can't fight back. The only time Moro fights with anything resembling fair play is when he knows he's got the power advantage an can afford to. This poses a major issue for Goku and Vegeta, as their usual tactic of 'level grind until we get strong enough to overpower them' isn't a viable option, as when Moro is overpowered, he simply changes strategies and makes up for the power difference with underhanded schemes.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: In general, Moro stands out majorly from previous villains in that he doesn't rely on strength and power, but intelligence and cunning. And unlike Imperfect Cell, rather than a means to grow stronger, he uses it as a means to win his battles outright. Unlike most villains who's reaction to someone stronger than them is a VillainousBreakdown or RageQuit, Moro's is to change his strategy and outsmart his opponents. For specific examples:
** To Demon King Piccolo. Both characters are ancient villains who had been sealed away long before the events of the story, both characters are incredibly cunning [[TheChessmaster chessmasters]], both characters started off incredibly elderly but regained their youth, both characters sought to regain their youth and create a world where anarchy and chaos reigns, and both characters sought the Dragon Balls to see their goals realized. However, King Piccolo used the Dragon Balls to regain his youth while Moro regained his youth by simply draining the life out of planets and people and used the Dragon Balls [[spoiler:to free his fellow inmates from the Galactic Prison so he can have an army at his side]].
** To Frieza. Both characters are immensely powerful beings who are feared throughout Universe 7 and both characters sought to use the Namekian Dragon Balls for their sinister purposes. But while Frieza relied on his army to do most of the leg work, Moro was effective enough to search for the Dragon Balls by himself. Also, while Frieza ultimately failed to obtain a wish on the Dragon Balls, Moro managed to wish for the restoration of his full magic power as well as the second wish [[spoiler: of gaining an army (made of the Galactic Patrol prisoners) he can increase in power]].
** To Babidi. Both characters are powerful wizards with a personal grudge against the Kais, but that's where the similarities end. Moro is an imposing humanoid goat while Babidi is a diminutive insectoid figure. Babidi relied entirely on his magic to be an actual threat while Moro is a skilled fighter even without his magic. Babidi also relied on more powerful beings to aid him while Moro is an effective threat on his own. [[spoiler:Both characters lead an army of powerful warriors, but where Babidi relied on brainwashing to keep subordinates in line, Moro is charismatic enough that his minions are genuinely loyal to him.]]
* CurbStompBattle:
** After absorbing Goku and Vegeta's energy, Moro becomes strong enough to effortlessly beat both of them into the ground. The fight becomes so one-sided that Goku is forced to do something he rarely does: [[KnowWhenToFoldEm run from a fight.]] Unfortunately, he's lost so much energy that he can't even use Instant Transmission and Moro finishes them both by draining what's left of their energy. Only a timely rescue by Esca and the Namekian elder saves the both of them from certain death.
** A group of Namekian warriors fuse together to form a Super Namekian and charge at Moro from behind... only for Moro to impale him through the chest without even turning to look at him. Moro even hangs a sadistic lampshade on it to rub it in.
--->'''Moro:''' Was ''this'' your savior, by chance? Apologies. He was dead before I could see his face.
** Moro finally finds himself on the receiving end when he faces off against Majin Buu, who shrugs off everything the sorcerer tosses at him and kicks him around like a ragdoll. It's made worse by the fact that Moro's energy draining abilities are completely ineffective against Buu. Which is spectacularly ironic, as not only was Majin Buu created by ''another'' evil wizard, Buu is capable of a different type of absorption. [[WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures "Magic must defeat magic"]], ''[[TakesOneToKillOne indeed]]''. [[spoiler:Once he regains his full power, however, he wastes no time returning the favor.]]
* CurbStompCushion: His fight with Vegeta. At first, Moro is able to hold his own against Super Sayian Vegeta, effortlessly dodging his attacks and using his telekinesis to keep him at bay. The tables are turned, however, when Vegeta goes Super Sayian God and shrugs off everything Moro throws at him. With his back against the wall, Moro decides to start fighting seriously and use the full extent of his magic. Subverted as it turned out that he was playing them the entire time: he was passively absorbing his and Goku's energy the entire time and by the time they realize it, they've lost so much energy they can't even transform. At that point it goes into a straight CurbStompBattle on both and all they managed to accomplish is make Moro stronger.
* DiabolicalMastermind: Became this by [[spoiler:releasing the entire Galactic Patrol prison and becoming the leader of the galaxy's most dangerous criminals who stole the prison's resources and ships as they left.]] On top of this, he's one of the most intelligent and cunning ''Dragon Ball'' villains, often winning his battles through intelligence and well thought out schemes rather than brute force.
* DealWithTheDevil:
** Moro makes a deal with Cranberry where if Cranberry helped him gather the Namekian Dragon Balls and restore his magic, he would let Cranberry use the Dragon Balls to make a wish of his own. [[spoiler:Once his magic is restored, Moro kills Cranberry to make another wish.]]
** Chapter 50 reveals that [[spoiler:Moro made a deal with the other Galactic Patrol prisoners where he would use the Dragon Balls to free them and share his power with them.]]
* EvilIsBigger: Moro is an extremely evil wizard who towers over Vegeta and Goku.
* EvilerThanThou: [[spoiler:Betrays and murders Cranberry after gaining his full power.]]
* EvilSorcerer: He uses magic to absorb life energy from planets and their inhabitants.
* GatheringSteam: Moro passively absorbs energy as he fights, thus Moro gradually grows stronger while his opponent grows weaker.
* GeniusBruiser: Moro isn't just a powerful fighter and sorcerer, he's an exceptionally intelligent strategist. Many of Moro's victories in the arc are not the result of brute strength, but because he's always five steps ahead of his opponents and can improvise when something goes wrong. [[spoiler:By chapter 50, he's got an army of the most dangerous criminals in the galaxy, all loyal to him.]]
* GreatEscape: [[spoiler:It turns out his plan all along and his third wish was to shut down the Galactic Prison's power and set the entire prison's free. This gives him a huge army composed of the most dangerous criminals in the galaxy, now loyal to him.]]
* IAmAHumanitarian: Drains living beings of their life energy, converts it to a sphere and eats it. This makes it slightly worrying when his reaction to sensing the Saiyans' ki (either of whom has more energy than most of the other mortals in universe 7 combined) is excitement.
* KnightOfCerebus: While [[HeroAntagonist Jiren]] and [[AntiVillain Broly]] were treated seriously, the conflicts with both characters ended on peaceful terms. Moro's introduction to the series brings a level of darkness not seen since the Future Trunks Saga, with the saga opening with a flashback showing Moro draining the life out of an entire planet and its inhabitants. Moro's introduction also features graphic levels of violence not seen since ''Z'', with characters being gruesomely impaled or burned alive.
* LackOfEmpathy: He views all other beings as nothing but food and treats them as such. Vegeta even calls him out on it when he saves a Namekian child from him.
-> '''Moro''':"You would dare interrupt my long-awaited meal?"\\
'''Vegeta''':"I have a troubled history with these Namekians. I did them untold harm. So no, I can't allow even one more of them to perish. And they are most certainly not your food."
* LeanAndMean: When first introduced, Moro is incredibly anorexic due to being imprisoned and unable to feed. As he begins draining the life out of Planet Namek, he starts to gain some muscle tone, but is still skinnier than the average ''Dragon Ball'' villain.
* LifeDrinker: Moro is an immortal wizard that has existed since the old days before Majin Buu's rampage, millions of years ago, and he obtains power by absorbing the life force of planets and people. During the ''Galactic Patrol'' saga, he regains his youth the more he stays on Planet Namek and the more he fights Goku, Vegeta and the Namekians; he starts with a BadassBeard and looking like a crouched old man, and ends as a young goat-man with no beard whatsoever.
* LightningBruiser: Despite his age and his weakened state, Moro is surprisingly agile for someone of his size, effortlessly dodging Vegeta's attacks. His telekinesis is powerful enough to send Vegeta flying like a ragdoll. And he is also quite physically strong despite his slim figure.
* LogicalWeakness: His fighting style relies on draining his opponent to increase his own strength. This means someone with a low power level but a technology that can affect him can fair better than someone with a high power level. Good Buu's nature means Moro can't drain his power, so Buu has an edge on him, at least in his weakened state. [[spoiler:Once he's at full power it's no longer a problem.]]
* MagicKnight: He is stated to be a powerful physical fighter even if he prefers using magic.
* ManaDrain: Not only can he eat the life energy of a planet, he can passively absorb the ki of his opponents. By the time Goku and Vegeta realize he's doing it, it's too late and he's already drained so much of their energy they can't transform. He can also ''eat'' ki attacks.
* TheManTheyCouldntHang: The Galactic Patrol has tried to execute him, but he's too powerful for any of their attempts to work.
* MindOverMatter: Has powerful telekinesis. In his prime, he was able to casually rain down ''comets'' during his fight with the Grand Supreme Kai.
* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: When Goku locks onto him to Instant Transmission to teleport to him, he's shocked to find Moro instantly senses this, something no one else has ever done. He is also capable of sensing the energy of inanimate objects like the Dragon Balls, a feat previously unseen in the series.
* OutGambitted: Does this to Vegeta. Vegeta thought he'd outsmarted Moro and tricked him into reveal his plans, but in reality Moro was playing him and Goku the entire time: he was secretly absorbing their energy the entire time and all Vegeta's talking and getting Moro to talk did was giving him more time to do just that. By the time they realize it, he'd eaten so much of their energy they can't even go ''base Super Saiyan''.
--> '''Moro:''' To borrow a phrase from you...I was hiding ''my'' true intent.
* OutsideContextProblem: One reason he gives Goku and Vegeta so much trouble is because Moro is so drastically different than anyone they've fought before. Unlike every previous main villain, Moro isn't a threat because of sheer power (at full power Goku and Vegeta in Blue could beat him in a straight fight, at least at the level he's at on New Namek), but because of his strange abilities which he is extremely proficient in using effectively and [[TheChessmaster his strategic intelligence]]. As a result, their attempts to fight him like previous villains backfire catastrophically because they simply don't work on him. This is best shown with Vegeta's first fight with him: he 'starts slow' in lower forms and works his way up to his strongest as is often the way fights are done...and this played completely into Moro's hand and let him slowly drain their energy until they ''can't'' assume a form that can beat Moro. Both Goku and Vegeta finally realize this is indeed the case with Moro and that their normal tactics simply can't work on him. [[spoiler:To that end, Goku decides to train under Merus in hopes of achieving Ultra Instinct while Vegeta heads to planet Yardrat to learn a technique to help him defeat Moro.]]
* PhysicalGod: He's so immensely powerful that he was giving a CurbStompBattle to South Supreme Kai and Grand Supreme Kai at the same time, and this was a Grand Supreme Kai who would've been able to easily take out Buu. The only way the Grand Supreme Kai was able to beat him was to permanently sacrifice the majority of his power into one attack to seal him away.
* PlanetEater: Steals the life energy of entire planets and literally consumes it to increase his already massive strength, being essentially able to do what the Tree of Might could ''naturally''. He did this to 320 planets before being stopped. It's also his RedBaron. It turns out he doesn't even have to absorb the energy to weaponize it.
* RapePillageAndBurn: Without the first one, obviously, but [[spoiler:once he gets his army of the worst criminals in the universe, they go on a rampage across space, pillaging anything of value, slaughtering the inhabitants, and finally Moro devours the planet's life force.]]
* RedBaron: 'Planet Eater' Moro.
* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Moro's name (which can be alternatively spelled as "Molo") presumably comes from Moloch, the name of a Canaanite deity.
* SealedEvilInACan: After being defeated by the Supreme Kais, the Galactic Patrol tried to execute him. Since they didn't have anything with enough juice to really hurt him, they instead imprisoned him for life. His power has finally began to return, allowing him to escape. This actually weakened him immensely, and his desired wish on the Dragon Balls is to have his full power restored.
* SignatureMove: Seems to have a preference for impaling people on his arm.
* SuperEmpowering: Moro can empower others with his magic, which he uses to [[spoiler:empower the Galactic Patrol prisoners for their fight with Goku and Vegeta.]]
* SuperpowerLottery: While Moro is a capable fighter in his own right, the wizard's true strength comes from his ability to manipulate life energy. Even with the bulk of his magic sealed, Moro is exceptionally powerful. Moro can absorb the life of other beings and entire planets, adding it to his already immense strength. Moro can also directly weaponize the life energy of the planet he's on for both offensive and defensive purposes and because this technique comes from the energy of the planet rather than his own, he can use this technique until the planet itself dies, providing Moro a potentially unlimited source of energy. Moro's ability to sense energy is the most advanced shown in the series as he can not only sense the energy of beings from vast distances, but can also tell when someone's sensing his energy and can sense the energy of inanimate objects such as the Dragon Balls. Moro's most dangerous ability, however, is that he can passively drain an opponent's energy while fighting, allowing him to grow stronger and overtake his opponent if a fight drags on for too long. Moro can also impart a bit of his power to others to make them stronger.
* SupportPartyMember: His energy draining abilities allow him to act as this. Moro's control over his energy drain is precise enough that he can choose who he wants to drain, allowing him to weaken enemies while keeping allies at full strength. [[spoiler:During the fight with the Galactic Prisoners, Goku and Vegeta dominate the fight at first, but Moro begins draining their energy, allowing the prisoners to gain the upper hand.]]
* TimeAbyss: Faced the Supreme Kais Ten Million Years ago, well before their clash with Majin Buu. The amount of life force he's eaten is the reason for this.
* ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil: In Chapter 50, Moro states that his ultimate goal is to create an ideal galaxy where he is free to consume planets as he wishes and peace doesn't exist. [[spoiler:And once Moro has his army of criminals, they go on a galaxy-wide rampage, with his minions looting planets of their resources before letting Moro devour its life force.]]
* VillainousLegacy: His rampage forced the Grand Supreme Kai to sacrifice most of his power to seal him away, leaving the Supreme Kais vulnerable to Majin Buu's rampage, as before that sacrifice the Grand Supreme Kai would've been more than strong enough to defeat Buu singlehandedly.
* WeakButSkilled: Downplayed in that Moro isn't ''weak'' per se, but unlike the majority of ''Dragon Ball's'' villains who rely on raw strength to overpower their opponents, Moro relies on his strange magical abilities and his deceptive cunning to win. Many of his victories throughout the saga are due to him constantly outwitting his opponents with clever underhanded strategies.
* WizardsFromOuterSpace: He's an alien wizard.
* WouldHurtAChild: When confronted with Goku and Vegeta on New Namek, his first act is to telekinetically grab a Namekian child. Not as a hostage, but as ''food'', though Vegeta saves him.
* WrongContextMagic: Moro is ''very'' different from anyone else in that his threat is ''not'' dependent on his own ki or power, as immense as it is. Rather, he can weaponize the energy of the planet he's ''standing on'', and its only limit is how long the planet survives. He can also passively ManaDrain his opponents and his magic in general makes him an extremely dangerous foe.
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:Once he has his full strength back, he instantly impales Cranberry and kills him. Considering he wished to shut down the Galactic Patrol prison to free some of the most dangerous criminals, he probably considered them far more valuable than Cranberry anyways.]]

[[folder:Cranberry]]
[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cranberry.png]]
A former member of the Frieza Force who joins Moro in his quest. He was a deserter who got captured by Galactic Patrol many years ago. Introduced in the Galactic Patrol saga.
----
* AscendedExtra: Cranberry is the one goon that was defeated by a Namekian warrior and then kicked off to the ocean by Zarbon (chapter 253 of ''Dragon Ball''), making his return an impressive surprise.
* AssholeVictim: Unlike Moro's other victims, Cranberry gets absolutely no sympathy for what he's done considering that he helped Moro slaughter many Namekians to gather the Dragon Balls and he mercilessly killed Grand Elder Moori.
* DangerousDeserter: He was captured by the Galactic Patrol at one point in time,and he is a survivor from Namek.
* EdibleThemeNaming: '''Cranberry''', named after a fruit like all of Frieza' soldiers.
* EliteMook: With a power greater than 1,000 he was considered an elite soldier.
* HeroKiller: He kills Moori, the Namekian Grand Elder in cold blood.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Moro kills him by impaling him from behind once his full power is restored and [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness thus Cranberry's usefulness is over]].]]
* LoopholeAbuse: Cranberry was revived back on Namek by Shenron because the wish specified to bring back people "killed by Freeza and his men", and Cranberry was killed by Zarbon' kick.

[[folder:Saganbo]]
[[quoteright:283:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/saganbo.png]]
Saganbo is an ally of Moro and the leader of an army of vile criminals formerly imprisoned by the Galactic Patrol.
----
* TheDragon: To Moro. As Saganbo is Moro's most loyal lieutenant and main supporter.
* TheNoseless: Like Krillin and Chiaotzu, he has no nose.
* NumberTwo: Saganbo serves as Moro's right-hand man and second-in-command of the Galactic Patrol Prisoners.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:73]]
[[quoteright:123:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/73_2.png]]
A prisoner of the Galactic Patrol left free by Moro.
----
* AmbiguouslyRelated: As of now, there is no confirmation he is related to Hit's race, but the similarity is clearly there.
* EvilCounterpart: The story frames him as one to Hit, due to being associated with similar members to the Universe 6 team (a metal-man and a bear fighter)
* EyeBeams: One of the attacks he shows capable of doing are energy beams from his eyes, which he uses to kill survivors from Planet Zoon.
* TheQuietOne: The character hasn't said a word since he escaped prison and joined Moro. He is only known by his prison cell number.
* YouAreNumberSix: Only known by his prison cell number, 73.
