Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Super Saiyan 4 is now canon. Thanks to Dragon Ball Daima’s eighteenth episode, “Awakening”, Son Goku has learned how to harness the power of the Grand Tour transformation in the Demon Realm thanks to an assist from Neva. In fighting against Gomah’s new form, Goku regains his tail and is able to achieve the transformation that sees him tap into his Oozaru power and become a Super Saiyan 4 for the first time in the official canon. Now as to why he never uses this power in Dragon Ball Super is anyone’s guess.

Super Saiyan 4 Is Here
The biggest changes that you’ll see are the slight variations in the coloring of Goku’s new form from the original Grand Tour, striking any of the black from Super Saiyan 4 and instead having it all be a dark red. On top of this, Goku is using the transformation as a child, which is something that GT never did as it would routinely make Son change from a kid to an adult. Needless to say, this might just be one of the biggest events in the Dragon Ball franchise in some time and shows that Daima was truly made in the spirit of Dragon Ball GT.
Dragon Ball Daima only has two episodes left until the end of its series but with this giant reveal, it’s clear that anything can happen. We’ll be sure to keep you posted on everything related to Super Saiyan 4’s introduction into the Dragon Ball series so stay tuned as we come to grips with this monumental shift in the shonen universe.
