- Orko is one of the most beloved characters in the Masters of the Universe franchise. He is a sorcerer and a loyal friend to He-Man or Prince Adam, Cringer, Man-At-Arms, the Sorceress, and Teela.
Even though Orko is primarily portrayed as a comic relief character, he is a lot more than that. He is prone to magical mishaps, but that is only because he lost his amulet in Eternia while trying to save the lives of Prince Adam and Cringer.
The sorcerer has been a part of several spin-offs of the original 1983 He-Man and the Masters Of The Universe series. And as such, his story has often been retold and expanded upon.
In today’s video, we will go over the various series Orko has been a part of.

Credits - Our thumbnail has an extremely detailed and a very realistic take on Orko, the art is super-talented Molee! Check his DA page, it is ripe with brilliant arts.
I enjoyed this video. I enjoyed the narration
I just went back in time 38yrs. Used to LOVE this show when I was tiny. She-Ra(sp?) too. Dad used to call them She-man and He-Ra to drive me mad. LOL. It worked…
My wife says the same shit 🥴🥴🙄
Damnation...! L😅L!!!
No 👎matter what version of him is portrayed Orko in my own personal opinion is a very fascinating,classical and timeless Heroic character from the Masters of the Universe franchise. Also despite his mishaps Orko's heart ❤ was always in the right place and he did all that he could to prove how useful he was to his friends!
Word to orko, one of the best characters in the original he man
Major facts. Orko was and still is my favorite. I identified with him more growing up than I did with HE- Man.
I like the fan made story about Orko secretly keeping an eye on He-Man to make sure he always stays good otherwise he is tasked with killing He-Man if He-Man ever becomes evil. So he pretends to be incompetent playing down his abilities.
Orko, OG Orko, filled two roles in the 80s extended toy commercials... sorry, kids' cartoons that we all loved. He was both comic relief and deus ex (ace-in-the-hole). That formula was relatively new for one character back then.
I like Orko as the character of contradictions: he appears very ordinary, yet he's mysterious as none of us have even seen his face; he's prone to fail at everything, yet there's known to be great magical power with him; he's childish by nature, yet this leads to him having an imagination that can solve serious problems in unexpected ways. Imo it's a bit of failure to try & get rid of his faults at the Revelations; being helpless yet powerful is a fascinating combination, and makes him more relatable than if he was just simply a powerful magician.
He-Man wouldn't be the same without Orco like Thundercats wouldn't be the same without Snarf!
Snarf! Snarf!!!
Orko...much love and respect... thanks...🎉🎉🎉
I don't understand the hate for Orko I never found him annoying sure his magic is off the wall since he lost his amulet but he's always been there when He'Man & his friends needed him Orko has saved their life countless times. Just like I don't understand why people hate Jar Jar Binks which causes the actor who played to almost kill himself I'm glad he didn't people should understand that Jar Jar was created for a reason I still like to think Jar Jar is secretly a Sith lord himself.
Orko was always a badass.
Always adored Orko. He is so important. In some ways more important than many other characters in the show.
Orko's magic is wild thanks to his lack of anything that he needs to control it outside his home world/dimension.
Orco's magic works when other characters aren't watching. because he is in character as a servant and an incompetent
He's the last Trollan but a great wizard. That's the reason I love him.
Orko is my favorite character.
Big facts.
Oracle is the greatest character ever created a one-of-a-kind personality Oracle has the ability is to help his friends out with magic and others with reason and always find a solution
Loved Orko 😍
From a renowned magician on his own dimension to a buffoon in the kingdom of Eternia, poor Orko his luck went from good to worse 🤷
Orko is incredible that sacrifice really stun me great video
Thank you from Florida 💙
Even though I knew all of this, it was great 👍 👌 😊, but I grew up watching 👀 this cartoon and absolutely loved HE-MAN and i had many of the action figures.
The 2012 DC comic had a great Orko one shot where he used the Sword of Power, its featured really trippy changing art styles, was fantastic.
The same era also turned him into an uber powerful "Dark Orko" corrupted by Hordak's wish granting orb for the MOTU/JLA crossover, a lot of fans didn't like that so much but I thought his design was really good. Unfortunately they didn't flesh out his post corruption story, you merely see him towards the series end back to normal with no explanation.
Orko The Great being one of the most Beloved Masters of the Universe characters didn't Stop that Asshole Sellout Kevin Smith from Killing him off. Yes, I'm still mad about that.
Keven admitted he hated the show and Orko
@@candycover Well luckily he came back to life
Never seen Orko look so awesome as in that artwork
Glad to see a video done on Orko
I don't know why Orko is so hated by everyone. And that's why Kevin Smith killed him off in his dreaded version ?
I don't know anyone who hates Orko. We love Orko.
@5:53 "...but Adam cannot bring himself to confess the truth about him not having the sword at the moment."
I think you mean "...but Orko cannot bring himself to confess the truth about Adam not having the sword at the moment."
How do you upload so many videos in such short amount of time?
As a child in the 80’s I always found Orko to be a nuisance. Always getting in the way making things worse.
I love orko one of the best bits about he man is orko man at arms roboto and battle cat I hate cringer ohh and spikor and of course Beast man & mer man and the boss skelator
Great video. So glad i came across this.
Where do you get those thumbnail images for your videos from? They look really incredible.
it isn't from anything but my orco story was that he was the last of an army of golems that were created forever ago. unfortunately after so long he was deemed senile and underpowered, but the royals were so sentimental they made him a jester. this story was actually reprised in Final fantasy 9 with the origen of the black mages.
So your Orko fan-fiction is just final fantasy lore? Weird flex but right on lol
Actually my orco fan fic came waaaay before ff9. But I can't help but notice how similar ff9 was. Total coincidence but still a version of the same story
Anybody else waiting to ponce when somebody ask why they changed his name from Gorpo?
Realations was such a disapointment, and in no way serviced the fans of the original cartool
I was just going to say this myself
No MOTU without Orko
That thing Is scary looking.
Uncle “Mar-tock” not Mon-ter-rock”
If you are showing revelations, Orko wasn't beloved by Kevin Smith that's for damn sure.
You guys are using text to speech aren't you.
God I hate revelations so much. Sorry I just have to stop watching your video after a few mins. I don't like to see the big stinking dump Kevin Smith took on the MotU.
I mean no disrespect yeah. But the narrator sounds like they have never watched "He-Man" in there life!!! If your gonna send scripts to people to read. Please tell them to at least watch or research the subject they are reading about. I may be wrong but really? Sorry to the narrative and reader but flat and lifeless. I'm no pro but I'd be at least enthusiastic about the subject. A shame but keep the vids coming.
Narrator probably has zero clue what she's reading .
Is the narrator a bot? So boring and bland.
I think it is a real person talking, I've seen other videos where she was narrating.
How come the narrator of this video sounds like she works at 7-11 😂😂😂
🤔
Okay, so, first off, Orko is NOT 'Ultra-Powerful.' He's not even slightly powerful. He's mediocre on his best day.
Depends on where he is. As mentioned, the rules are reversed in Eternia (and presumably Etheria) as compared to Trolla...he's powerful there, but for whatever reason never tried 'reversing' things in Eternia like He-man did in Trolla. Though thinking on reversal...his minor spells fail comedically, but the times he tries more powerful ones that might normally fail, they generally work.
