How Does Dragon Ball Daima’s Finale Explain Goku Never Using Super Saiyan 4 in Super?
The climactic battle in Dragon Ball Daima's finale pits Gomah against Goku, showcasing Goku's newly acquired form. This episode naturally led many fans to anticipate 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 granted by Neva in the previous episode, revealing it as "Super Saiyan 4."
Employing this form, Goku battles Gomah, ultimately overpowering him with a Kamehameha that breaches the Demon Realm. Piccolo then delivers the final blows, defeating Gomah and liberating the Demon Realm. The series *could* have explained Super Saiyan 4 as a Demon Realm-exclusive transformation or one only accessible through Neva, but it doesn't. Instead, Goku reveals he attained the form simply through post-Buu training, with no memory loss involved, leaving Daima's canonicity ambiguous.

Is Dragon Ball Daima Canon to Super?
Super Saiyan 4's introduction raises significant questions about Daima's place within the Dragon Ball canon. It's highly improbable Goku wouldn't utilize such a powerful form against Beerus in Super, especially with Earth's fate hanging in the balance. While forgetting it is possible, Vegeta's reaction to being surpassed again seems unlikely.
However, a potential loophole exists. The post-credits scene shows two more Evil Third Eyes remaining in the Demon Realm. A potential second 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 without such a development, Dragon Ball has introduced a significant plot hole.
Thus, Dragon Ball Daima's finale explains Goku's lack of Super Saiyan 4 usage in Super through this ambiguous narrative. For more details, check out the anime's intro song.
Dragon Ball Daima is currently streaming on Crunchyroll.
