The epic conclusion of *Dragon Ball Daima* delivers a climactic battle between Gomah and Goku, showcasing Goku's newly acquired form. Many fans anticipated an explanation for Super Saiyan 4's absence in *Super*, and *Daima*'s finale offers an intriguing, albeit somewhat ambiguous, response.
Episode 19 sees the Z Fighters revert to their adult forms after Glorio's wish. Vegeta's attempt to defeat Gomah, even as a Super Saiyan 3, fails, leaving Goku to utilize the power granted by Neva in the previous episode—a power he later identifies as "Super Saiyan 4."
In this form, Goku confronts Gomah, holding his own and ultimately blasting a hole through his opponent and the Demon Realm with a Kamehameha. This allows Piccolo to attack Gomah, though the final blows are delivered by Majin Kuu, ultimately defeating Gomah and freeing the Demon Realm.
While the narrative seems poised to explain Super Saiyan 4 as Demon Realm-exclusive or Neva-specific, it takes a different turn. Goku reveals he attained the form simply through post-Buu training, without any mind-wipe, leaving *Daima*'s canonicity uncertain.
Is *Dragon Ball Daima* Canon to *Super*?
The introduction of Super Saiyan 4 significantly impacts *Daima*'s place within the *Dragon Ball* canon. Goku's failure to utilize this powerful form against Beerus in *Super*, especially with Earth's fate at stake, raises questions. While forgetting might be plausible, Vegeta's likely reaction to being surpassed again seems improbable.
However, a post-credits scene offers a potential loophole. The Demon Realm's two remaining Evil Third Eyes suggest a possible avenue for Super Saiyan 4's return and subsequent loss by Goku in a future season. This remains speculation, but its absence risks creating a significant plot hole.
Ultimately, *Dragon Ball Daima*'s finale provides a somewhat unconvincing explanation for Goku's lack of Super Saiyan 4 in *Super*. The anime's intro song is available for those seeking further details.
*Dragon Ball Daima* is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
