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

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 missing Super Saiyan 4 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 form. Goku steps up, harnessing the power bestowed 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, ending Gomah's reign over the Demon Realm.

As the episode progresses, fans expect *Dragon Ball Daima* to clarify why Super Saiyan 4 doesn't appear in *Dragon Ball Super*. However, the series takes a different route. Goku casually tells Vegeta that he achieved this form through training post-Buu, with no mention of a mind-wipe or any special conditions tied to the Demon Realm. 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. If Super Saiyan 4 were part of Goku's arsenal, it's hard to believe he wouldn't use it against Beerus in *Dragon Ball Super*, especially with Earth's fate hanging in the balance. While Goku might have forgotten about it, Vegeta, always competitive, would surely remember and use it if possible.

A potential resolution appears in the post-credits scene of the *Dragon Ball Daima* finale, which hints at two more Evil Third Eyes in the Demon Realm. If *Daima* returns for another season and these objects fall into the wrong hands, it could provide a narrative path for Super Saiyan 4 to re-emerge and then be lost again. 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 storylines to address this issue. For more on *Dragon Ball Daima*, check out the series now streaming on Crunchyroll.
