The confrontation put Goku and Vegeta in a desperate situation. Not even advanced transformations, such as Super Saiyan 3, were enough to contain the enemy. However, it was only with the intervention of Neva, the new ally of the series, that Goku was able to arouse the Primal Energy of the Saiyans and access his new form.

Super Saiyan 4: More than a tribute to the past
The transformation into Super Saiyan 4 revisits classic elements of Dragon Ball GT, but with significant differences. In GT, Goku depended on the Golden Oozaru Internship (giant monkey) to reach Super Saiyan 4, with Pan's emotional support to resume consciousness. On the other hand, in Dragon Ball Daima, Goku activates ancestral energy consciously, eliminating the intermediate stage and reaching transformation directly.
The look maintains familiar characteristics, such as the body covered with intense red aura, while modernizing the transformation approach. This evolution reflects the pure power of the Saiyans, rescuing their roots and strengthening Goku enough to balance the fight against Gomah.
Nostalgia and Innovation in the Dragon Ball Universe
Dragon Ball Daima happens at a strategic point of the franchise timeline, between the events of Dragon Ball Z and Dragon Ball Super. In the plot, a conspiracy of the demonic kingdom transforms Goku and his friends into children's versions. Despite the lighter tone, the anime delivers intense battles and reinterpretation classic concepts, such as Super Saiyan 4, now renamed Super Saiyajin 4.
The introduction of this new form is just one of Daima's surprises. Vegeta also starred in a historic moment when using Super Saiyan 3 for the first time, something that had never been shown in the canon of the series. Thus, these elements prove that the anime seeks to expand the legacy of the franchise while maintaining the emotional bond with longtime fans.
The future of Dragon Ball Daima
With the introduction of Super Saiyajin 4, Daima can open doors to new evolution in the skills of the characters. The transformation reinforces that Dragon Ball GT's legacy still has relevance and space to revisit, now with a new approach.
The episodes of Dragon Ball Daima are available on Crunchyroll and soon in the Netflix and Max catalog. In addition, the first chapters are being shown in theaters, with dubbed versions for the Brazilian audience. The anime, which combines nostalgia and innovation, is just beginning to reveal its impact on the Goku saga and its allies.
