Dragon Ball Daima’s SSJ4 Secret Revealed in Shocking Twist

by

Summary

  • Super Saiyan 4 introduced in Daima may explain absence in Super due to lack of tails.
  • Neva’s magic likely awakens dormant traits in Saiyans, possibly including tail growth.
  • Next Daima episodes to delve into SSJ4 transformation explanation, potential sequels.

In Dragon Ball Daima Episode 18, there was a massive shock for fans as Super Saiyan 4 was confirmed as a legitimate form. With the series nearing its conclusion, viewers are eagerly anticipating what lies ahead, yet they’re left pondering why Goku and others haven’t used their SSJ4 transformations in Dragon Ball Super.

Fans have proposed several hypotheses as to why SSJ4 wasn’t shown in “Super,” a story set after “Daima” (although there’s speculation it might appear in future manga chapters). Some of these theories suggest that this transformation can only occur in the realm of demons.

Many spectators observed that a change occurred in Goku following Neva’s use of magic, and one fan specifically noted that this magic resulted in Goku growing a new tail.

So, looking at the SSJ4 transformation, it seems that Neva’s magic has two parts.

The first is awakening something inside Goku.

The second is to create a tail from nothing. You see how it materialized from a bubble.

In simpler terms, it means that, much like in GT (Dragon Ball GT), having the ability to perform that specific transformation requires a tail. Without Neva’s assistance in creating another tail, Goku won’t be able to undergo that transformation once more.

In other words, Goku realizes there’s a transformation he cannot activate unless he grows a tail, yet it seems he can no longer develop one, leaving him powerless to change this situation.

In the future, it allows for the possibility that they could restore his ability to regain his tail and undergo that transformation once more.

What Is The Super Saiyan 4 Form?

In Dragon Ball GT, Super Saiyan 4 shares similarities with the Great Ape form since it’s derived from that transformation. Interestingly, when Goku turns into a child in GT, his tail reappears, which allows him to transform into both the Great Ape and the Golden Great Ape.

In the series known as “Daima,” none of the Saiyans regain their tails when transformed into children. Therefore, temporarily giving Goku a tail would not only be consistent with the rules set in “DBGT,” but it would also provide an explanation for why he can’t transform into Super Saiyan in “Super”: since they don’t have their tails anymore, they can no longer undergo such transformations.

Other supporters hold a different viewpoint, believing that the tail being a part of the transformation itself, rather than a prerequisite for it to occur.

My guess is that Neva’s powerup is a more powerful version of Guru’s potential unlocking ability. And the tail is just a part of SSJ4, unrelated to Neva.

Another one pointed out that Goku’s belt could have been turned into a tail by Neva:

In truth, it appears as though Goku’s belt morphs into his tail during his transformation. After the metamorphosis, his blue belt vanishes, and in the process of transforming, there’s an animation that looks like a belt unraveling from a spiral and transforming into a tail.

What’s Next for Dragon Ball Daima?

The upcoming episode, set for release on Friday, February 21st, is anticipated to delve into the mysteries surrounding Goku’s transformation into SSJ4. However, a comprehensive explanation might not surface until Episode 20, which is scheduled for February 28th. With Episode 18 generating buzz on social media platforms, it’s likely that the subsequent two episodes will also spark much conversation.

At this point, it appears there are no immediate plans for a follow-up to the “Daima” series. If a sequel does materialize, we will likely hear about it later on. Interestingly, producer Akio Iyuko mentioned that “Daima” is not included in the franchise’s 40th anniversary festivities, suggesting there may be other anime projects coming up soon.

You can watch Dragon Ball Daima on Crunchyroll and Hulu right now. A week after that, new episodes will be added to Netflix (and other streaming services worldwide).
