Dragon Ball Super
As it stand , Dragon Ball Superhas not include theSuper Saiyan 4transformation into its ground canon . However , if theofficialDragon Balltimelineis to be believe , then it is only a topic of prison term before the events of Super but merge into those ofGT . This would give Akira Toriyama and Toyotarou every opportunity to reimagine classicGTstorylines and transformations in a way that works naturally withSuper . If that is , indeed , the future of the franchise , one matter is clear : Dragon Ball Superneeds to fix Super Saiyan 4 ’s one major shortfall .
Super Saiyan 4 was first introduced at the end ofDragon Ball GTseason one , when Goku was task with unlock this god - tier translation by Elder Kai himself after the ultra - powerful Machine Mutant , Baby , jeopardise the full universe . Goku was able to unlock Super Saiyan 4after becoming a Golden Great Ape , and then earn full dominance over his psyche . While the cognitive operation of unlocking this shape was heavy to say the least , Goku did n’t have to go through becoming a Golden Great Ape every time he needed to go Super Saiyan 4 . In fact , Goku did n’t even have to go through the progression of Super Saiyan transformations to get there , he could simply be in his base form and power - up to Super Saiyan 4 in an split second . Super Saiyan 4 became Goku ’s mainstay transmutation for the second half ofGT , which is something not every Saiyan who unlock it can say .
Only Goku Can Go SSJ4 Whenever He Wants, & Dragon Ball Super Needs to Fix That
InDragon Ball GTepisode 62 ( write by Atsushi Maekawa , directed by Osamu Kasai , produced by Toei Animation ) , Goku and Vegeta are fighting Omega Shenron , though it has become clear that they were greatly outmatched . Omega Shenron is a Shadow Dragon who take in the power of every Dragon Ball to contact ultimate baron . Even in their Super Saiyan 4 forms , Goku and Vegeta could n’t pair Omega Shenron ’s unequaled strength , and that fact quickly became unmistakable . In the middle of the conflict , both Goku and Vegeta ran out of energy and could n’t sustain their SSJ4 forms any longer . Goku was n’t too implicated , though , as he just needed some clip to get his energy back before making the transformation all over again . However , when Goku take for granted the same is truthful for Vegeta , Vegeta bring out that only Goku has the ability to go Super Saiyan 4 whenever he wants , and that Vegeta needs the assistance of Bulma ’s Blutz Wave Generator to go Super Saiyan 4 every unmarried time .
This divine revelation was shocking , and totally unexpected based on what was show with Goku at the kickoff ofGTseason two . Vegeta on the face of it ca n’t become a Super Saiyan 4 by simply power up despite having unlocked the translation practically the same elbow room Goku did . That is in spades so lame . Why would n’t Vegeta have the power to reach this form alongside Goku after unlock it the first fourth dimension ? It really does n’t make any sense , which is why – if the translation gets included at all – it needs to be change inSuper .
Dragon Ball Superhas done such a great job with shut the power - spread between Goku and Vegeta by show them both training with actual divinity and unlocking the power of the gods . So , for Goku to have the sorcerous ability to go Super Saiyan 4 whenever he wants for no clear reason while Vegeta ca n’t is a Brobdingnagian fixation for the series . Only time will tell ifSuper Saiyan 4will be included inDragon Ball Superor not , but if it does , then the series needs to ready this one major shortfall .
