In the *Dragon Ball Daima* finale, fans were eagerly anticipating an explanation for the absence of Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Super*. The climactic episode features an intense showdown between Goku and the villain Gomah, where Goku unveils a new form referred to as "Super Saiyan 4." This form is powered by the energy Neva bestowed upon him in the previous episode.

Goku uses this formidable transformation to confront Gomah, delivering a powerful Kamehameha that not only pierces through his adversary but also breaches the Demon Realm. This breach allows Picollo to intervene, damaging Gomah further, and ultimately, Majin Kuu delivers the final blows that defeat Gomah, liberating the Demon Realm.

However, the finale does not clarify the exclusivity of Super Saiyan 4 to the Demon Realm or link it solely to Neva's power. Instead, Goku casually mentions to Vegeta that he achieved this form through rigorous training post his battle with Buu. This statement leaves the canon status of *Dragon Ball Daima* ambiguous, as there is no mention of any memory alteration that could explain why Goku never utilized this form in *Dragon Ball Super*.

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. It's puzzling why Goku wouldn't use such a powerful transformation during his battle with Beerus in *Dragon Ball Super*, especially with the Earth's fate hanging in the balance. The absence of Super Saiyan 4 in *Super* seems even more inexplicable given Vegeta's consistent rivalry and frustration over being surpassed by Goku.

A potential resolution is hinted at in the post-credits scene of the *Dragon Ball Daima* finale, which reveals the existence of two more Evil Third Eyes in the Demon Realm. If *Daima* were to continue and these artifacts were to fall into the wrong hands, it could provide a narrative pathway for the reintroduction of Super Saiyan 4 and a plausible explanation for its subsequent loss. This, however, remains speculative, and without such a development, the series risks creating a significant plot hole that could fuel ongoing debates among fans.

In summary, *Dragon Ball Daima*'s finale does not directly explain why Goku never used Super Saiyan 4 in *Dragon Ball Super*, leaving the continuity between the two series open to interpretation.
