The finale of *Dragon Ball Daima* delivers an electrifying showdown between Gomah and Goku, who unveils a striking new transformation. Fans eagerly anticipated this episode to shed light on the existence of Super Saiyan 4, a form that has been notably absent in *Dragon Ball Super*. So, how does the finale of *Dragon Ball Daima* address the absence of 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 confront Gomah solo but falls short, even in his Super Saiyan 3 state. The responsibility then falls to Goku, who harnesses the power bestowed upon him 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, piercing through Gomah and the Demon Realm itself, creating an opening for Piccolo to strike at Gomah's eye. Although Piccolo can't land all the necessary blows, Majin Kuu steps in to finish the job, ultimately defeating Gomah and liberating the Demon Realm.

At this juncture, viewers might expect *Dragon Ball Daima* to clarify that Super Saiyan 4 is exclusive to the Demon Realm or a power only Neva can unlock. However, the series takes a different route. Goku casually tells Vegeta that he achieved this new form through rigorous training post-Buu, with no mention of any memory erasure. 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. It's hard to fathom why Goku wouldn't utilize this formidable transformation during his battle with Beerus at the onset of *Super*, especially with the planet's fate hanging in the balance. Perhaps Goku simply forgot about it, but Vegeta, perpetually irked by Goku's advancements, would surely remember.

A glimmer of hope emerges 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. Should the series continue and these artifacts fall into nefarious hands, there's a potential pathway for Super Saiyan 4 to re-emerge and for Goku to lose it somehow. This is purely speculative, but without such a development, *Dragon Ball* risks creating a significant plot hole that could fuel endless debates among fans.

Thus, *Dragon Ball Daima*'s finale leaves the absence of Super Saiyan 4 in *Super* unexplained, setting the stage for potential future narratives. For more on *Dragon Ball Daima*, you can catch it streaming on Crunchyroll.
