Tien's insults aren't very good, but when Chiaotzu comes up with something much worse Quoitur suffers a HeroicBSOD.

* StupidGood: Goku naively believes that Moro can be convinced to surrender and return to prison peacefully once he is defeated. Compared to Piccolo, Vegeta and Frieza who were simply given the option to walk away after their defeats, Goku goes a step further this time and lets Moro attack him just to show that ResistanceIsFutile. What Goku fails to understand until it's too late is that Moro is a genuinely irredeemable mass-murderer, he has no desire to be Goku's little sparring buddy, and he certainly won't allow himself to be sealed away again under any circumstance. This ultimately costs Goku what could have been a straightforward victory.

As it turns out, he's a rebellious trainee Angel who wanted to help mortals and stop evildoers, which is against the Angels' code of neutrality.

When copying Moro, Seven-Three also demonstrates the ability to turn the tides against Gohan and Piccolo.

* OutOfContinues: Moro threatens to hit the Z-Fighters with this in the final battle: after merging with Earth, the explosion of his death will destroy the entire galaxy, including Earth, Namek, and explicitly, potentially even some of the Super Dragonballs, meaning if he's not stopped there'd be no way to resurrect anyone.
* OutsideContextProblem: Moro manages to be such a gigantic threat because unlike previous villains, he doesn't rely on being stronger to maintain his edge and best the heroes, but intelligence and cunning planning. Goku and Vegeta keep trying to fight him with brute force, but he outsmarts them every time and Moro ends the New Namek section of the arc decisively victorious as a result. The two finally realize this and go searching for unconventional tactics to counter Moro's.
* OvershadowedByAwesome: Inverted. Moro's army isn't all that strong compared to Goku and Vegeta... but they're the two most powerful mortals in all of Universe 7. Those that can pose a mild challenge to the two in base-form are utter monsters to the rest of the universe, and entire planets don't stand a chance against someone of that power.

* MookHorrorShow: Moro inflicts this on the entire Dragon Team after his absorption of OG73-I by locking them all in an impenetrable ki barrier and going to town on them. Merus and Dende thankfully intervene in time to stop it from becoming a total slaughterhouse.

This finally inspires Beerus to step in and perform a DangerousForbiddenTechnique, though he is unexpectedly called off by the Grand Priest before he can show it.

* PluckyComicRelief: Jaco acts as this throughout the arc, though he does help to save the day several times.
* QuirkyMiniBossSquad: The vanguards of Moro's army of escaped convicts are the Galactic Bandit Brigade, led by [[TheDragon Saganbo]]. Before Moro finally makes landfall, they act as the primary threat for the Earth-based Dragon Team (newly recruited by the Galactic Patrol) to defeat.
* RapePillageBurn: Without the former, of course, the escaped convicts go on a massive rampage across the galaxy in which they attack planets, steal everything of value, then slaughter the entire populations.

* SurpriseCreepy: Up until now, the Galactic Patrol has largely been treated comically, and early parts of the arc still contain that humor... then [[KnightOfCerebus Moro]] appears in earnest and the result is one of the darkest stories that ''Dragon Ball'' has done, with gruesome violence unseen in the series since early ''Z''.

* BloodierAndGorier: A stark contrast between this arc and the previous storylines is the amount of graphic violence on display, [[RevisitingTheRoots which is reminiscent of Toriyama's original manga]]. One of Moro's signature moves is impaling his defeated opponents with his entire arm, which he at one point does to Goku. If it wasn't healed shortly after, Goku would've died in a bloody heap then and there.

** At the very least, Beerus doesn't seem to have forgiven Goku so easily since he still seems pissed off at Goku at the beginning of the Granolah arc (though getting humiliated by Zeno while Goku was celebrating also contributed to his bad mood).

* VoodooShark: Grand Supreme Kai is revealed as being able to awaken inside Buu multiple times, and helps the heroes a few times and provides exposition on Moro and adds some world building. The problem is, Buu's absorption technique doesn't work like this, and if it ''did'', that brings up the question as to why he couldn't do so earlier? As well as why couldn't the South Supreme Kai do the same? They were both protectors and good friends of Shin, so why does Moro awaken one kai but neither awaken when seeing the menace who similarly threatened their universe? And what exactly stops the Grand Supreme Kai from existing constantly? And so on and so forth.
