Then, Dodoria sadistically carries out Frieza's order by breaking Moori's neck with his bare hands.

Moori prays in front of a Dragon Ball along with two young Namekians, giving thanks to the gods protection that allows them to live in peace. However it is short lived as Goku and Vegeta arrive on the planet in time to confront the evil [[Moro]] who is after the planet's Dragon Balls for himself. On Goku's request, Moori has the Dragon Balls taken far away along with the other Namekians who flee the area. Moori stays during the battle between Moro and the Saiyans and after their defeat, aids them by taking them to a nearby home where he watches over them for the next three days.

Moori returns Goku and Vegeta's clothing and before heading off, Vegeta asks Moori how he feels about him, having slaughtered many Namekians himself long ago.

Moori (ムーリ Mūri) is the elder of a Namekian village who becomes the grand elder of New Namek after Grand Elder Guru's death. He is also the brother of Tsuno, Nail, Dende and Cargo.

Appearance

Moori is a dark green Namekian, with a red vest, a white collar, white pants, and brown shoes.

Personality

Moori is determined and calculating, standing up and refusing to cooperate with Frieza and destroying the scouters, knowing it would likely lead to his death. Despite Vegeta having killed many Namekians in the past, Moori tells him that he holds no grudge or hatred towards him as such a thing only breeds more conflict.

Biography

File:MooriAppears.png

Moori's first appearance

Moori was born on Namek as a son of Grand Elder Guru. He is very clever and, although Moori is not a warrior, he manages to destroy all of Frieza's scouters with his Finger Beams so that they cannot track any more Namekian villages.

This causes Frieza's collection of the Dragon Balls to be seriously delayed. When Frieza orders Dodoria to slay Moori, Moori told Dende and Cargo to run away. Just when Moori attempted to perform a move that would have avenged his slain Namekian brethren, a blast (either Frieza's Death Beam in the manga or Dodoria's Mouth Blast in the anime) was fired straight past Moori, slaying Cargo. Then, Dodoria sadistically carries out Frieza's order by breaking Moori's neck with his bare hands.

Ep46cap6

Moori with Dende and Cargo

Moori is included in the wish to Shenron to bring back those killed by Frieza and his men. After being resurrected, he is teleported to Earth thanks to the wish to Porunga to teleport everyone to Earth except for Goku and Frieza.

On Earth, as Elder Tsuno was not brought back by Shenron's wish since he and his village were wiped out by Vegeta who was already no longer under Frieza's commands at the time, Moori is named as the new Grand Elder by Guru before the latter dies for the second time. As the new Grand Elder, Moori says that the Dragon Balls will shine again.

The Dragon Team use Porunga's remaining wishes to bring back to life Krillin and Yamcha. During the time between the two restorations of the Namekian Dragon Balls, Moori and his people stay at Capsule Corporation, where Moori learns how to play golf thanks to Dr. Brief. 130 days later, the Z Fighters use two of Porunga's wishes to bring back Chiaotzu and Tien Shinhan, and Moori and his people use the third wish to teleport to a new planet similar to Namek.

Trivia
