The finale of *Dragon Ball Daima* showcases a thrilling confrontation between Gomah and Goku, who unveils a new transformation. Fans were eagerly anticipating some explanation regarding the absence of Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Super*. Here's how *Dragon Ball Daima* addresses this intriguing issue.
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 in his Super Saiyan 3 state. The responsibility falls to Goku, who harnesses a new power bestowed by Neva in the previous episode, which he dubs "Super Saiyan 4."
With this newfound strength, Goku engages Gomah in the finale and manages to hold his own. He unleashes his signature Kamehameha, blasting a hole through Gomah and the Demon Realm, allowing Piccolo to strike a crucial blow by knocking out Gomah's eye. Although Piccolo can't finish the job, Majin Kuu steps in, ultimately defeating Gomah and liberating the Demon Realm.
Fans might expect *Dragon Ball Daima* to clarify Super Saiyan 4's exclusivity to the Demon Realm or its dependency on Neva's power, but the series takes a different route. Goku simply tells Vegeta that he achieved this form through training post-Buu saga, leaving no mention of memory erasure. This ambiguity casts doubt on *Dragon Ball Daima*'s canonical standing.
Is Dragon Ball Daima Canon to Super?
The introduction of Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Daima* raises significant questions about its place in the *Dragon Ball* canon. It seems implausible that Goku wouldn't use this powerful form against Beerus in *Dragon Ball Super*, especially with Earth's fate hanging in the balance. Even if Goku somehow forgot about it, Vegeta, perpetually competitive, wouldn't have overlooked such a significant power-up.
A potential resolution appears in the post-credits scene of the *Dragon Ball Daima* finale, which hints at the existence of two more Evil Third Eyes in the Demon Realm. If *Dragon Ball Daima* continues with another season, and these objects end up in malevolent hands, there's a chance for Super Saiyan 4 to reappear and for Goku to lose it somehow. While this is purely speculative, without such a development, *Dragon Ball* risks creating a significant plot hole that could fuel endless online debates.
In conclusion, *Dragon Ball Daima*'s finale does not directly explain why Goku never used Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Super*. Instead, it leaves the door open for future developments that might address this continuity issue. *Dragon Ball Daima* is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
