Dragon Ball Daima Finale: Why Goku Never Used Super Saiyan 4 in Super

In the thrilling finale of *Dragon Ball Daima*, fans witnessed an epic showdown between Gomah and Goku, where Goku showcased a new form known as Super Saiyan 4. This form was crucial in Goku's battle against Gomah, ultimately leading to the defeat of the tyrant and the liberation of the Demon Realm. Goku achieved this powerful transformation thanks to the energy bestowed upon him by Neva in the previous episode.

However, the finale left many fans puzzled about the absence of Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Super*. Instead of explaining that this form is exclusive to the Demon Realm or something only Neva could unlock, Goku simply tells Vegeta that he achieved Super Saiyan 4 through training after defeating Buu. This revelation does not include any mention of a mind-wipe, 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. Given its power, it seems implausible that Goku wouldn't use this form during his battle with Beerus at the beginning of *Super*, especially with Earth's fate on the line. Although one could argue that Goku might have forgotten about it, Vegeta, who was frustrated by Goku's new achievement, surely would have remembered.

A potential resolution to this conundrum 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 *Daima* returns for another season and these objects fall into the wrong hands, it could provide an opportunity for Super Saiyan 4 to reappear and for Goku to lose access to it. While this is speculative, without such a development, *Dragon Ball* risks creating a significant plot hole that could fuel debates among fans for years to come.

Thus, *Dragon Ball Daima*'s finale addresses the absence of Super Saiyan 4 in *Super* by leaving the door open for future explanations, rather than providing a definitive answer. For those eager to dive deeper into the series, *Dragon Ball Daima* is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
