Dragon Ball DAIMA Episode 18, titled “Awakening,” just aired in Japan and delivered one of the biggest moments in Dragon Ball history. Fans finally got to see Goku’s Super Saiyan 4 transformation in a canon storyline as he faced off against King Gomah.
Super Saiyan 4 was first introduced in Dragon Ball GT, but it was considered a non-canon series. Now, thanks to Dragon Ball DAIMA, this iconic transformation is officially part of the Dragon Ball canon.
However, there’s no official name for the transformation yet. Some fans speculate that it might be given a different name altogether, but no announcements have been made so far.
