Goku's Super Saiyan 4 Absence in 'Super' Explained by Dragon Ball Daima Finale

In the thrilling finale of *Dragon Ball Daima*, fans witnessed an intense showdown between Goku and Gomah, where Goku unveiled a new form. Many were eagerly anticipating an explanation for the absence of Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Super*. However, the finale left viewers with more questions than answers.

What Happens With Super Saiyan 4 in Dragon Ball Daima's Finale?

Episode 19 of *Dragon Ball Daima* sees the Z Fighters regain their adult forms thanks to Glorio's wish. Vegeta attempts to defeat Gomah solo but fails, even with his Super Saiyan 3 transformation. The responsibility then falls on Goku, who utilizes the power bestowed by Neva in the previous episode, which he later dubs "Super Saiyan 4."

With this newfound strength, Goku engages Gomah in a fierce battle, managing to hold his ground. He uses his signature Kamehameha to blast through Gomah and the Demon Realm, allowing Piccolo to intervene and strike a crucial blow. Although Piccolo can't finish the job, Majin Kuu steps in, ultimately defeating Gomah and liberating the Demon Realm.

As the episode progresses, fans expected *Dragon Ball Daima* to clarify why Super Saiyan 4 doesn't appear in *Dragon Ball Super*. Yet, the series takes a different route. Goku casually mentions to Vegeta that he achieved this form through training after defeating Buu, without any mention of a memory wipe or special conditions. 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 Goku had access to such a powerful form, it's puzzling why he didn't use it against Beerus in *Dragon Ball Super*, especially with the Earth's fate hanging in the balance. While it's possible Goku might have forgotten about it, Vegeta's reaction to being surpassed again suggests otherwise.

A glimmer of hope for resolving this issue 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 the series continues and these objects fall into the wrong hands, it could provide a narrative path for Super Saiyan 4 to re-emerge and for Goku to lose it. This is speculative, but without such a development, *Dragon Ball* risks creating a significant plot hole that could fuel debates among fans for years to come.

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 exploration, keeping fans intrigued and engaged. For more on *Dragon Ball Daima*, you can catch it streaming on Crunchyroll.
