Dragon Ball Daima Finale: Why Goku Never Used Super Saiyan 4 in Super

The finale of *Dragon Ball Daima* showcases an intense showdown between Gomah and Goku, who unveils a new transformation. Fans eagerly anticipated this episode to clarify the absence of Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Super*. However, the episode leaves many questions unanswered regarding this powerful form.

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 fails, even with his Super Saiyan 3 transformation. Goku steps up, utilizing the power bestowed by Neva from the previous episode, which he dubs "Super Saiyan 4."

Goku's battle against Gomah is fierce, culminating in a devastating Kamehameha that pierces through Gomah and the Demon Realm. This allows Piccolo to intervene, dislodging Gomah's eye, though it's Majin Kuu who delivers the final blow, liberating the Demon Realm.

Anticipation builds for an explanation about Super Saiyan 4 being exclusive to the Demon Realm or linked to Neva's power. Yet, the episode takes a different turn. Goku simply tells Vegeta that he achieved this form through training after defeating Buu, with no mention of a memory wipe, thus leaving *Dragon Ball Daima*'s canonical status uncertain.

Is Dragon Ball Daima Canon to Super?

The inclusion of Super Saiyan 4 in *Daima* raises significant questions about its place in the *Dragon Ball* canon. Goku's lack of using this form against Beerus in *Dragon Ball Super* is perplexing, especially with Earth's fate hanging in the balance. While Goku might have forgotten about it, it's hard to believe Vegeta, who is constantly driven by rivalry, wouldn't have noticed.

A potential resolution appears in the post-credits scene, hinting at two more Evil Third Eyes in the Demon Realm. Should *Dragon Ball Daima* return for another season, these artifacts could fall into the wrong hands, providing a narrative pathway for Super Saiyan 4's reintroduction and subsequent loss. This remains speculative, but without such a development, *Dragon Ball* risks a significant plot hole that could fuel endless debates among fans.

Thus, *Dragon Ball Daima*'s finale leaves the mystery of Super Saiyan 4's absence in *Super* unresolved. For those interested in more, check out the anime's intro song.
