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

The finale of *Dragon Ball Daima* delivers an electrifying showdown between Goku and Gomah, with Goku unveiling 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 mystery of Super Saiyan 4's absence 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. It's up to Goku to step in, utilizing 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, paving the way for Piccolo to 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 new form through training post-Buu, with no mention of a mind-wipe or any other explanation that would reconcile the form's absence in *Super*. 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 believe that Goku wouldn't use such a powerful form against Beerus in *Super*, especially with Earth's fate hanging in the balance. While it's possible Goku might have forgotten about it, Vegeta, always keen on surpassing his rival, would surely remember.

A glimmer of hope 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 end up in the wrong hands, there could be a way for Super Saiyan 4 to re-emerge and for Goku to lose it. This is purely 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 provide a clear explanation for why Goku never uses Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Super*. If you're curious about more from the series, check out the intro song for *Dragon Ball Daima*.
