Moor

Dragon Ball Super introduced a new villain that puzzled everyone. Moro has a very different look to what the series has accustomed us, but little by little this character is meeting expectations. This is a genocidal sorcerer who threatened to destroy Universe 7's life a long time ago, but was then defeated by the Kaio-shin deities. I mean, his nature is evil and that had to reflected in the design as Toyotaro explained in a interview on the official Dragon Ball page. And it has a deeper symbolism than we might expect.

The mangaka was inspired by western devils to design this character, but twisted the goat's horns more. Explain what Moro's design was completely evil. The enemy of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner had to be an enemy that had to be defeated, not an enemy that feels like an ally afterwards. Like the first Piccolo, the Great Demon King, we wanted to create an enemy that would make everyone think that had to be defeated, so we decided to base it on the goat, the model of the western devil ».

Likewise, Toyotaro confessed that the horns were a headache. «I designed it myself, but when I drew it, it was very difficult and I regret it (laughs). Unless I look at three-dimensional objects, I couldn't balance fine details, so I searched for a variety of goats, but couldn't find anything that fit. I thought I had to do it myself and made the tips », said. It was inspired by the horns of two goat figures, but one of them changed the tips with putty to achieve the desired effect as you can see in the image above.
