by

Summary

  • Goku’s Super Saiyan 4, a transformation reintroduced in Dragon Ball Daima after 28 years, has greatly excited fans.
  • The arrival of Super Saiyan 4 hints at the possibility of Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta later on in the series.
  • Vegeta’s absent role in the final battle against Gomah signals a potential Super Saiyan 4 power-up, foreshadowing an epic showdown.

In episode 18 of “Dragon Ball Daima,” a collective gasp filled the air as Goku revealed his long-awaited new form, a sight fans hadn’t seen in 28 years. This pivotal moment wasn’t just significant because it boosted Goku’s power level, but also because it represented the formal inclusion of the cherished Super Saiyan 4 transformation into the franchise’s storyline.

It’s worth noting that the transformation goes beyond its initial appearance, as there are intricate clues pointing towards the conclusion of Dragon Ball Daima. To delve deeper into this topic, let’s examine how the Super Saiyan 4 form made a comeback in the series and how it suggests the reappearance of one of the most cherished fusions in the entire franchise.

What Is Daima’s Version Of Super Saiyan 4?

How Did This Form Come To Be?

First Appearance Dragon Ball Daima, Episode 18, “Awakening”
Debut Date February 14, 2025

In Episode 17 of Daima , Gomah summoned the mighty Tertian Oculus, granting him colossal strength and a monstrous form. This transformation left Goku with no choice but to activate his Super Saiyan 3 mode. Joined by Majin Duu and Tamagami 1, they launched an all-out attack against the Demon King. For a while, it appeared they were keeping pace, even causing harm to Gomah. However, their force was insignificant compared to his newfound might, enabling him to effortlessly fend off his adversaries.

Recognizing the threat posed by Gomah, Neva stepped in and boosted Goku significantly with a large surge of energy. This infusion had a profound effect on Goku’s Saiyan cells, triggering a deep-rooted power within him – the legendary Super Saiyan 4 form, which is well-known to fans from GT. The display left everyone thrilled as they witnessed this beloved form officially acknowledged and powerfully demonstrated.

How This Opens The Door For Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta

The Greatest Non-Canon Fusion in the Series

In the narrative unfolding before me, though Goku unleashed his ultimate form, it fell short against Gomah. Initially, he inflicted significant damage and displayed impressive strength, yet Gomah proved unmatched. Awe-inspiringly, he confronted a new iteration of the Kamehameha wave head-on, but was still able to counterattack, knocking Goku unconscious. The episode concluded with Glorio making a mysterious wish, leaving us in suspense about its nature.

Here comes the potential for Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta’s appearance. Unlike the regular narrative of Z, this series, Daima, has significantly highlighted Vegeta and his role within the Z-Fighters, granting him the elusive Super Saiyan 3 transformation after fans have been clamoring for it for decades. However, in the climactic battle, he’s mostly missing in action as he appears to be the only one still recovering from Gomah’s blow, whereas the others have managed to shake off the impact and join the fray against the Demon King.

I will never stop pushing myself to become stronger, not until I am the strongest in the universe!

With Vegeta absent for now, it’s highly likely he’ll return, especially since Gomah is at his peak strength and recently knocked out the strongest warrior on the battlefield. It’s plausible that Vegeta could receive an upgrade from Neva, enabling him to tap into a unique Super Saiyan 4 form, which might tip the scales in this seemingly lopsided conflict.

It’s clear that Gomah isn’t easily defeated, not even by two Super Saiyan 4s. This might push Goku and Vegeta to merge into their most powerful form, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta. Though the series GT wasn’t well-received overall, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta was a fan favorite. Bringing him back into the series would certainly be exciting.

It’s worth mentioning that Goku acquired the Join Bugs from a store in the Third Demon World, although the pouch they came in is now missing. It seems likely that these Join Bugs, hidden away in the pouch, serve as a foreshadowed plot device – a Chekov’s Gun – which will likely be employed by Goku and Vegeta at some point in the future to create an unprecedentedly powerful warrior, as yet unseen in the storyline. The anticipation among fans would reach a fever pitch with the inclusion of Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta into the official lore.

Beyond what we already know, it might also be that the merging done via Join Bugs gives rise to a new Saiyan warrior, one fans didn’t anticipate. At present, Saiyans have two methods of fusion: Potara, resulting in Vegito, and Metamoran Fusion Dance, producing Gogeta and Gotenks. However, the Join Bugs are distinct and rare artifacts from the Demon Realm, so this new Super Saiyan 4 fusion could potentially not be Gogeta.

Dragon Ball can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
