The climactic battle in *Dragon Ball Daima*'s finale pits Gomah against Goku, showcasing Goku's newly acquired form. Many fans anticipated an explanation for Super Saiyan 4's absence in *Super*. So, how does the finale address this?

In episode 19, after Glorio's wish restores the Z Fighters to their adult forms, Vegeta's attempt to defeat Gomah—even as a Super Saiyan 3—fails. Goku then unleashes the power Neva granted him, later identified as "Super Saiyan 4."

Employing this form, Goku battles Gomah, ultimately using the Kamehameha to breach the Demon Realm. This allows Piccolo to attack Gomah, weakening him for Majin Kuu's finishing blow. Gomah is defeated, 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 through post-Buu training, with no mention of mind-wipes, leaving *Daima*'s canonicity ambiguous.

Is *Dragon Ball Daima* Canon to *Super*?

Super Saiyan 4's introduction raises questions about *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, seems inexplicable. While forgetting is possible, Vegeta's reaction to being surpassed again makes this scenario less likely.

However, a potential loophole exists. The *Daima* finale's post-credits scene reveals two more Evil Third Eyes within the Demon Realm. A future season, involving these objects falling into the wrong hands, could offer a path for Super Saiyan 4's return and subsequent loss by Goku. This remains speculation, but its absence risks creating a significant plot hole.

This is how *Dragon Ball Daima*'s finale explains Goku's non-use of Super Saiyan 4 in *Super*. For further details, check out the anime's intro song.
