Goku's Super Saiyan 4 Absence in 'Super' Explained by Dragon Ball Daima Finale
The *Dragon Ball Daima* finale showcases a thrilling battle between Gomah and Goku, who unveils a new form that fans eagerly anticipated. Many were hoping this episode would shed light on the absence of Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Super*. Here’s how the finale addresses this intriguing topic:
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. As the plot unfolds, Vegeta attempts to defeat Gomah solo but fails, even with his Super Saiyan 3 transformation. Goku steps up, utilizing the power bestowed upon him by Neva in the previous episode, which he dubs "Super Saiyan 4."
With this formidable new form, Goku engages Gomah in an intense battle, ultimately using his signature Kamehameha to blast through Gomah and the Demon Realm. This action creates an opportunity for Piccolo to strike, though it's Majin Kuu who delivers the final blow, vanquishing Gomah and liberating the Demon Realm.
At this juncture, fans might 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 explains to Vegeta that he achieved this form through rigorous training post-Buu saga. There's no mention of a memory wipe or any explanation that would integrate *Daima* seamlessly into the established canon, leaving the series' canonical status ambiguous.
Is Dragon Ball Daima Canon to Super?

The introduction of Super Saiyan 4 in *Daima* poses significant questions about its alignment with *Dragon Ball* canon. Notably, if Goku possessed such a powerful transformation, it's baffling why he didn't use it against Beerus at the beginning of *Super*, especially with the Earth's fate hanging in the balance. The lack of explanation suggests either a memory lapse or a deliberate choice by Goku, which seems unlikely given Vegeta's reaction to being outdone yet again.
A glimmer of hope for resolving this plot discrepancy appears in the post-credits scene of *Dragon Ball Daima*’s finale. It reveals the existence of two more Evil Third Eyes in the Demon Realm. Should the series continue, and these artifacts end up in nefarious hands, there might be a narrative path where Super Saiyan 4 re-emerges, only for Goku to lose it later. 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 question of Super Saiyan 4's absence in *Super* largely unanswered, sparking curiosity and discussion among the *Dragon Ball* community. For those interested in diving deeper into the series, *Dragon Ball Daima* is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
