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

The finale of *Dragon Ball Daima* brings an intense showdown between Gomah and Goku, where fans get a glimpse of Goku's new form. Many were eagerly anticipating an explanation for the absence of Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Super*. So, how does the finale of *Dragon Ball Daima* address this?

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 in his Super Saiyan 3 state. It's then up to Goku to step in, utilizing the power bestowed upon him by Neva in the previous episode, which he dubs "Super Saiyan 4."

Goku uses this new form to battle Gomah and manages to hold his ground. With a powerful Kamehameha, he blasts a hole through Gomah and the Demon Realm, enabling Picollo to strike a crucial blow by knocking out Gomah's eye. Although Picollo can't finish the job, Majin Kuu delivers the final hits, ultimately defeating Gomah and liberating the Demon Realm.

Fans were expecting *Dragon Ball Daima* to clarify that Super Saiyan 4 might be exclusive to the Demon Realm or something only Neva could unlock. However, the series takes a different route. Goku casually mentions to Vegeta that he achieved this form through training after defeating Buu, with no mention of any memory wipe. This leaves the canonical status of *Dragon Ball Daima* uncertain.

Is Dragon Ball Daima Canon to Super?

The introduction of Super Saiyan 4 in *Daima* raises significant questions about its place in the *Dragon Ball* canon. If Super Saiyan 4 were part of the main timeline, it's hard to believe Goku wouldn't have used it during his battle with Beerus at the start of *Dragon Ball Super*, especially with the Earth's fate on the line. Goku forgetting such a powerful form seems unlikely, and Vegeta, who is always keen to surpass his rival, would surely remember it.

However, a post-credits scene in the *Dragon Ball Daima* finale hints at a potential resolution. It reveals that two more Evil Third Eyes remain in the Demon Realm. If *Dragon Ball Daima* returns for another season where these objects fall into the wrong hands, there could be a storyline where Super Saiyan 4 reappears, only for Goku to lose it somehow. While this is speculative, without such a plot development, *Dragon Ball* might have introduced a significant plot hole that could spark ongoing debates among fans.

In summary, *Dragon Ball Daima*'s finale does not provide a clear explanation for Super Saiyan 4's absence in *Dragon Ball Super*. Instead, it leaves room for future narratives to address this inconsistency. *Dragon Ball Daima* is currently streaming on Crunchyroll, offering fans more to explore and discuss.
