The finale of *Dragon Ball Daima* showcases an intense showdown between Gomah and Goku, with the latter unveiling a new transformation. Fans eagerly anticipated an explanation for the absence of Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Super*, but the episode took a different route. Here's how *Dragon Ball Daima*'s finale addresses this intriguing plot point.
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 alone but fails, even as a Super Saiyan 3. It's then up to Goku, who utilizes the power bestowed by Neva in the previous episode, which he dubs "Super Saiyan 4."
Goku, in his Super Saiyan 4 form, engages Gomah in a fierce battle, managing to hold his ground. With a powerful Kamehameha, he not only strikes Gomah but also creates an opening in the Demon Realm, allowing Picollo to intervene and damage Gomah further. Majin Kuu delivers the final blow, ending Gomah's reign over the Demon Realm.
As the episode progresses, viewers expect an explanation for Super Saiyan 4's absence in *Dragon Ball Super*. However, *Dragon Ball Daima* does not provide a clear reason. Instead, Goku casually tells Vegeta that he achieved this new form through rigorous training after defeating Buu. No memory erasure or special conditions are mentioned, leaving *Dragon Ball Daima*'s canonical status ambiguous.
Is Dragon Ball Daima Canon to Super?
The introduction of Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Daima* sparks numerous questions about its connection to the *Dragon Ball* canon. Notably, Goku's decision not to use this powerful form against Beerus in *Dragon Ball Super* raises eyebrows, especially when the planet's survival was on the line. While it's possible Goku might have simply forgotten about it, Vegeta's perpetual rivalry and competitive nature make this explanation less convincing.
However, a post-credits scene offers a glimmer of hope. It reveals that two more Evil Third Eyes exist in the Demon Realm. If *Dragon Ball Daima* returns for another season and these artifacts end up in the wrong hands, it could pave the way for Super Saiyan 4's reintroduction and subsequent loss. 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 fans with more questions than answers, hinting at potential future developments that might resolve this mystery. *Dragon Ball Daima* is currently streaming on Crunchyroll, offering fans the chance to explore this intriguing storyline further.
