The finale of *Dragon Ball Daima* delivers an exhilarating showdown between Gomah and Goku, who unveils a new transformation. Fans eagerly anticipated this episode to shed light on the absence of Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Super*. So, how does the finale of *Dragon Ball Daima* address the mystery of Super Saiyan 4's absence in *Super*?
What Happens With Super Saiyan 4 in Dragon Ball Daima’s Finale?
In episode 19 of *Dragon Ball Daima*, the Z Fighters revert to their adult forms thanks to Glorio's wish. Vegeta attempts to defeat Gomah solo but falls short, even in his Super Saiyan 3 state. It's up to Goku to step in, utilizing the power bestowed upon him by Neva in the previous episode, which he dubs "Super Saiyan 4."
With this new form, Goku engages Gomah in a fierce battle, managing to hold his ground. He unleashes his signature Kamehameha, blasting a hole through Gomah and the Demon Realm, allowing Piccolo to intervene and strike at Gomah's eye. Although Piccolo can't finish the job, Majin Kuu delivers the final blow, vanquishing Gomah and liberating the Demon Realm.
As the episode progresses, fans might expect *Dragon Ball Daima* to clarify that Super Saiyan 4 is exclusive to the Demon Realm or a power only Neva can unlock. However, the series takes a different route. Goku casually tells Vegeta that he achieved this new form through training after defeating Buu, with no mention of any memory erasure. This leaves the canonical status of *Dragon Ball Daima* ambiguous.
Is Dragon Ball Daima Canon to Super?
The introduction of Super Saiyan 4 in *Daima* raises significant questions about its place within the *Dragon Ball* canon. It's puzzling why Goku wouldn't use such a powerful form against Beerus in *Dragon Ball Super*, especially with Earth's fate hanging in the balance. While it's possible Goku might have forgotten about it, Vegeta, who is perpetually frustrated by Goku's advancements, would surely remember.
A potential resolution is hinted at in the post-credits scene of the *Dragon Ball Daima* finale, which reveals the existence of two more Evil Third Eyes in the Demon Realm. If the series continues and these objects fall into the wrong hands, it could provide a pathway for Super Saiyan 4 to reappear and for Goku to lose it. This is speculative, but without such a development, *Dragon Ball* risks creating a significant plot hole that could fuel endless debates among fans.
In summary, *Dragon Ball Daima*'s finale does not directly explain why Goku never uses Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Super*. Instead, it leaves the door open for future exploration, potentially setting the stage for more seasons to address this intriguing plot point.
*Dragon Ball Daima is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.*
