Moro’s Wish is where the new villain of the Dragon Ball Super manga stops running and starts winning: Volume 10 collects Chapters 45–48, the New Namek campaign, in which Moro’s magic neutralises Goku and Vegeta completely and the Dragon Balls of Namek are turned to the worst possible use. It ends with the board flipped entirely in the villain’s favour.
What Volume 10 collects
Volume 10 collects Chapters 45–48, the heart of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc’s opening act. The hunt for Moro leads to a dying New Namek, a stolen set of Dragon Balls and three wishes that reshape the rest of the storyline. Full guides for each chapter are on the chapter index.

The story inside
New Namek is a trap. Moro’s magic does not overpower Goku and Vegeta — it starves them, drinking their energy directly from the planet itself until even Super Saiyan Blue sputters out. Worse, Moro can sense the Dragon Balls, and while the heroes are grounded he hunts the Namekian villages one by one, gathering the set through a small-time criminal named Cranberry, a deserter from Frieza’s army who found the wrong employer.
The wishes, when Porunga is finally summoned, are a masterclass in patience. Moro does not wish for youth or strength directly. He has his full magical power restored — and then, with his final wish, he empties the Galactic Prison entirely, freeing every criminal the Patrol has ever captured to serve as his army and his pantry. Goku and Vegeta survive only because the Namekians buy them time, and the volume closes with the two Saiyans splitting up to fix the problem from opposite directions: Goku leaves with the mysterious Patrolman Merus, who knows more about fighting Moro than he should, while Vegeta demands to be taken to Planet Yardrat, the home of Instant Transmission, to learn techniques of his own. The rematch will not be a fair fight either way — that is the point. Moro works as a kind of anti-Goku: where Goku copies techniques by watching them once, Moro steals the energy that powers them, and where Goku grows through defeat, Moro simply keeps eating until defeat becomes impossible.
Where Volume 10 sits in the series
Volume 10 follows Volume 9, which introduced Moro, and leads into Volume 11, where his freed army spreads across the galaxy. All four chapters belong to the Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc, and this book is where that arc’s villain takes control of the story. Our volumes index shows its place in the sequence.
