If you thought Dragon Ball Daima couldn’t surprise anymore, get ready, because in his most recent episode, Goku has unleashed a transformation that many were expecting to see in the official canon: the Supersaiyajin 4! This form, which originally appeared in Dragon Ball GT, has been officially incorporated into the universe created by Akira Toriyama and although it had already been shown in previous episodes, now we see it with Goku in his adult form, so fans were quick to comment on the event in the networks.
Dragon Ball Daima did it again! Goku reaches Supersaiyajin 4
The official Twitter/X account @DemondNews shared a video showing Goku transforming from Supersaiyajin 1 to reach the impressive Supersaiyajin 4. This moment has been compared to the epic battle against Majin Buu, where Goku also surprised with his incredible abilities.
In this chapter, titled “Awakening,” Goku faces a brutal enemy, King Gomah. Although he tries everything, even with his Supersaiyajin 3 form, the villain overcomes him with no problem. But just when it seems all is lost, Goku transforms into Supersaiyajin 4, with his trademark red fur and that defiant look that so many of us love.
Social media was quickly flooded with reactions from fans. Some expressed their enthusiasm for the inclusion of this transformation in the official canon, while others showed reservations about how it fits into the chronology of the series. Below we share with you some of the fans’ opinions:
“Goku’s Kame-Hame-Haa ‘Supersaiyajin 4’ is without a doubt one of the best moments we’ve had from Dragon Ball Daima across the board, what a great moment!”, ‘I don’t follow the series, but from what I see on Twitter, it looks like a bad copy of GT, and that’s when Toriyama supposedly wrote the story.’, ”I love it more every day, I missed this feeling. Thank you, master Toriyama, for this Valentine’s Day gift.” Or “What a crazy chapter.
Apparently, the inclusion of Supersaiyajin 4 in Dragon Ball Daima was no accident. Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, who originally designed this form in GT, was involved in the project, which explains why it feels so authentic. This transformation lets us see that mixing the classic with the new can yield great results, surprising new fans and touching the hearts and nostalgia of longtime fans, here, proving that the series has maintained a solid fan base that remains and will remain for a long time to come.
With only two episodes remaining, Dragon Ball Daima is nearing its grand finale, and already has us speculating about what else might surprise us. The final episode, episode 20, will air on February 28, 2025, and while they have yet to confirm a second season, producer Akio Iyoku made it clear that the franchise will live on “for decades to come.”
No matter how many years pass, Dragon Ball remains one of the most beloved and epic works of anime. Since its debut in 1984, it has accompanied several generations with its battles, transformations and unforgettable moments. The fact that Supersaiyajin 4 is now part of the official canon only shows how the saga continues to evolve without losing its essence.
If Dragon Ball has taught us anything, it is that there is always more power to be discovered and more stories to be told. And as long as they continue to give us epic moments like this, we fans will be more than happy to still be here.
