Omatsuri used an evil plant (he was also used by the plant), and fed the plant the bodies of innocent pirates in order to retain the memory of his crew which the plant (called Lily  ) recreated. Moria, after the loss of his original crew due to Kaidou and 'The New World', vowed to only use disposable zombie which he (along with Dr. Hogback, Absalom, and Perona) created by harvesting the shadow (persumably part of their soul) from random pirates and passer-bys. Unlike the Baron, though, Moria decided to rebuild a crew so that he can go back and defeat Kaidou. But, he still refused to actually assemble a crew, and only used zombies, instead.
As Omatsuri falls victim to Luffy's attacks, and remembers his crew as he dies, Moria screams that Luffy will never understand the true horror of 'The New World' until he goes there and sees the 'nightmare' for himself.
I couldn't help but be struch by how similiar these two characters were, and I was wondering if anyone else thought so as well.

Sorry for taking so long to respond back to your spoiler James3wk. It's been a while since I've seen that movie, so I thank you for providing an abstract for the villain in this movie. Yes, I absolutely do agree with you that Moria and this villain seem to be remarkably similar for the reasons you stated.
Now, there is one thing that I would like to discuss regarding Mihawk. Apparently from one of those SBS data books, it is stated that Mihawk can actually cut through elements. What I am wondering is, if Mihawk is to cut a logia user, would he just cut right through the element or would he actually hurt the person? The only way I could see him hurting the logia user is if his sword is made out of seastone. This greatly intrigues me because I think it would be rather silly for Mihawk, a person of such a high stature in the one piece universe, to not be able to match up against logia users.
