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 existence of Super Saiyan 4 and its absence in *Dragon Ball Super*. Here's how the finale addresses this intriguing plot point.

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

In episode 19, the Z Fighters revert to their adult forms thanks to Glorio's wish. Vegeta, in a bold move, attempts to defeat Gomah alone but falls short, even with his Super Saiyan 3 form. The responsibility then falls to Goku, who harnesses the power bestowed by Neva in the previous episode, which he dubs "Super Saiyan 4."

Goku engages Gomah in a fierce battle using this new form, managing to hold his own. With a powerful Kamehameha, he creates a breach through Gomah and the Demon Realm, enabling Piccolo to intervene and strike at Gomah's vulnerable eye. Although Piccolo can't finish the job, Majin Kuu steps in, ultimately bringing down Gomah and liberating the Demon Realm from his rule.

As the episode nears its end, fans might expect *Dragon Ball Daima* to clarify why Super Saiyan 4 is absent 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 any mind-wipe or restriction that would explain its non-use 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. If Super Saiyan 4 were part of the main timeline, it's hard to fathom why Goku wouldn't use it against Beerus at the beginning of *Super*, given the stakes involved. The lack of a clear explanation creates a plot hole that fans are likely to debate for years.

However, a post-credits scene hints at a potential resolution. It reveals that the Demon Realm contains two more Evil Third Eyes, suggesting a future storyline where these objects could fall into the wrong hands. This might provide an avenue for Super Saiyan 4 to reappear and for Goku to lose access to it, though this remains speculative.

Thus, *Dragon Ball Daima*'s finale doesn't offer a clear explanation for why Goku never used Super Saiyan 4 in *Super*. Instead, it leaves fans with more questions than answers, potentially setting the stage for future developments. For those interested in exploring more, the anime series' intro song is worth a listen.
