The finale of *Dragon Ball Daima* delivers a thrilling showdown between Gomah and Goku, who unveils 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 address this?

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 state. The responsibility then falls on Goku, who harnesses the power bestowed by Neva in the previous episode, which he dubs "Super Saiyan 4."

With this new form, Goku engages Gomah and manages to hold his ground. He ultimately uses his signature Kamehameha to blast a hole through Gomah and the Demon Realm, setting the stage for Piccolo to attack Gomah's eye. Although Piccolo doesn't land all the necessary blows, Majin Kuu finishes the job, leading to Gomah's defeat and the liberation of the Demon Realm.

Many expected *Dragon Ball Daima* to clarify that Super Saiyan 4 is exclusive to the Demon Realm or only unlockable by Neva. However, the series takes a different route. Goku casually tells Vegeta that he achieved this form through training post-Buu, without any mention of a mind-wipe, thus leaving 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 Goku's arsenal, it's hard to believe he wouldn't use it against Beerus in *Dragon Ball Super*, especially with Earth's fate hanging in the balance. One might argue Goku could have forgotten about it, but Vegeta, constantly striving to outdo his rival, would surely remember.

However, a post-credits scene in the *Dragon Ball Daima* finale offers a glimmer of hope. It reveals the existence of two more Evil Third Eyes in the Demon Realm. If the series continues and these artifacts end up in the wrong hands, it could provide a pathway for Super Saiyan 4's return and Goku's subsequent loss of the form. This is purely speculative, but without such a development, *Dragon Ball* risks creating a significant plot hole that could fuel fan debates for years.
