Volume 14 of the Dragon Ball Super manga, Son Goku, Galactic Patrol Officer, collects Chapters 61 to 64 — the emotional and mechanical turning point of the entire Moro saga. Vegeta comes back from Yardrat with a technique designed to tear Moro’s stolen power away from him, Moro answers by devouring one of his own prisoners to gain a terrifying new ability, and the Patrol’s quiet mentor, Merus, makes the choice this arc has been building towards since his first appearance.

What this volume collects

Four chapters carry the story from Vegeta’s return to the brink of the final battle. Each chapter has its own guide in the complete chapter index:

The story inside

Vegeta’s training on Yardrat pays off immediately. His new technique, Forced Spirit Fission, does the one thing no amount of punching could: it rips the life energy Moro spent the whole arc stealing back out of his body and returns it to the worlds and people it was taken from. Moro, suddenly old and weak again, flees — and in desperation devours the android prisoner Seven-Three, whose body stores the abilities of everyone he has ever touched. The copy power transforms the fight. Moro helps himself to the heroes’ own techniques and regenerative tricks, and Chapter 62 pushes the defenders to the edge of total defeat.

That is when Merus stops pretending to be a mortal. Angels are forbidden from fighting in earnest, and Merus knows the price, but he intervenes anyway — sealing away Moro’s copied abilities and giving Goku one last lesson in what Ultra Instinct actually is: a state of clarity, not rage. His sacrifice lands in Chapter 64, where Goku finally completes the form, silver-haired and calm, and dismantles Moro with an ease that reframes the whole arc. The volume closes with the battle at its peak and Moro, cornered for the first time, looking for one last way out. It is also where the saga’s theme crystallises: every growth in this arc — Goku’s calm, Vegeta’s restitution, Merus’s defiance of his own kind — is about becoming something other than simply stronger.

Where it sits in the series

Volume 14 is the penultimate volume of the Galactic Patrol Prisoner arc. It follows Volume 13, where Earth survived the prison invasion but Moro escaped, and it sets up Volume 15, where Goku’s mercy is tested and the Moro fight reaches its planet-sized conclusion. The full collected run can be followed in the volume index.
