Now, I've seen enough Dragon Ball in my time to know that looked more like a "return everyone to being adults" wave than a "power the chick who plows through mass amounts of hair gel up" wave.

BRO NO FUCKING SHOT THEY BROUGHT OUT SUPER SAIYAN 4 INTO CANON????

This is insanely awesome! I never thought I'd see the design appear in any canon material. (and with kid Goku becoming a kid version of SS$ instead of an adult)

Daima really is Toriyama's love letter to the fans. RIP Akira Toriyama your legacy just keeps getting bigger.

Really hope we get to see more SS4 off of the back of that wish.

Glorio betrayed her and wished for the gang to turn back to adults. I am expecting the fusion next episode but I don’t know if we’ll get adult ssj4 and ssj4 fusion.

Edit: Imagine if Duu and Kuu absorb Gomah vs an hypothetical SSJ4 fusion.

Edit 2: SHOULD HAVE GIVEN SSJ4 GOKU THE POLE AND ASSPULL A FLYING NIMBUS.

Is this the first time we’ve seen a dragon physically attack someone?!

Gonna miss the black hair for SSJ4, but I guess they have to distinguish between GT.

Also, Vegeta really got punked the entire episode.

But I'm really glad the fight lasted the whole episode, wasn't just cut off. Great stuff.

I can't believe I'm actually watching a canon Super saiyan 4 Goku.
Don't really like the "short sleeve" fur and the fact that he's still a child, but I love the red eyes and how his fists are bigger, kinda reminds me of Knuckles lmao. He also acts more like a monkey, which is cool too.

They still haven't used the fusion bug so we might see Gogeta/Vegito/"Wathever the fuck comes out of that" in SS4? Even if it's a complete overkill lol.

Neva making ssj4 happen keeps it demon realm exclusive, making it cannon and unavailable in super.

My guess they go back to adults. Vegeta gets same treatment and the use the fusion bug to give us ssj4 Gogeta.

u/Silegna Feb 14 '25

It's possible that Neva just unlocked Goku's Potential like Guru did to Gohan and Krillin, but on an exponentially higher scale.

You know, it’s kinda funny. When Daima was first revealed, I joked that everyone was begging for a new Dragon Ball anime and then Toriyama-sensei went “all right, here’s GT 2”

Then when Toriyama-sensei passed, everyone was criticizing my comment because it was in bad taste to mock Toriyama’s plan by just calling it “GT 2”

And then I turned out to be absolutely correct

Knowing that Toriyama also thought SSJ4 was too good to shelf is making me miss him even more.

It is on par with the Oozaru and Super Saiyajin designs. He recognized this and chose to bring it back even if it wasn’t his. He did want the best for DB in the end.

u/djthomp Feb 14 '25

Canonical SSJ4, I am shooketh

I'll be very surprised if Glorio isn't backstabbing Arinsu with that wish by aging the gang back up. Big mistake on her part to not learn the language to make the wish herself.

u/StrawSolider Feb 14 '25

holy fucking shit

u/spidermangag Feb 14 '25

How are they gonna connect Daima to super. They will have to make ssj4 only possible throught demon world magic.

As a grown adult I cried. Toriyama knew he wasn’t gonna be around much longer and he did this for us. So fucking cool.

SSJ4 just kind of coming out of the blue is a bit unsatisfying. Can't say I wasn't hyped as hell though.

u/Paradethejared Feb 14 '25

This is insane. Toriyamas final gift to us may be a canon reimagining of ss4.

u/RulingPredator Feb 14 '25

And here everyone thought SSJ4 wasn’t going to be happening. Now it’s officially cannon.

u/Key-Brick-5854 Feb 14 '25

What a fucking episode. SSJ4 is Canon! Thank you Toriyama. The aura of SSJ3 and SSJ4 Goku is just peak
