Yes, Super Saiyan 4 (SSJ4) has recently become canon within the main Dragon Ball continuity thanks to its appearance in the Dragon Ball Daima series, which integrates elements from Dragon Ball GT into the official timeline, establishing SSJ4 as a different, primal evolution path for Saiyans alongside divine forms like Super Saiyan God.
Super Saiyan 4 is Now Canon… But There's a Catch Exciting news for Dragon Ball GT fans—Super Saiyan 4 (or something extremely similar) is making its way into Dragon Ball Daima, which is officially canon to the original manga. This means SSJ4 now has a place in the main continuity.
Dragon Ball Daima has finally done what no one thought possible: it made Super Saiyan 4 canon. For decades, Super Saiyan 4 has been cited as one of the best parts of Dragon Ball GT, if not the best, and even with GT being non-canon, fans have always wanted at least Super Saiyan 4 to be worked into canon in some way.
It's officially canon now. Super Sayian 4 is finally canon. Can't believe this is real tbh. Like legit this is nuts to see.
He's a reversed SSJ4. The reason why is because Akira Toriyama, when he is drawing and coloring, doesn't check the actual colored pictures. Thus, showing that this is a coloring mistake, and not his actual hair. Another reason to show that this isn't his actual hair is when Goku and Vegeta fused against Janemba.
Xicor, also known as Zaiko, is the main antagonist of Toyble's Dragon Ball AF. He is the actual youngest son of Goku, due to deceitfulness and trickery casted by the vengeful Western Supreme Kai. Thus making him part Saiyan and part Kai.
Dragon Ball GT is disliked primarily because it was a non-canon sequel made without creator Akira Toriyama's significant involvement, leading to a weaker story, pacing issues, and poor character development, sidelining fan-favorite characters like Gohan and Vegeta for an annoying kid Goku, with inconsistent plot points and less polished animation compared to DBZ, making it feel like a generic cash-in rather than a true continuation.
The rarest Saiyan, according to Vegeta in Dragon Ball Super, is his son Trunks, not because of power, but because he's a unique anomaly born with blue hair, breaking normal Saiyan biology where all are born with black hair. While Broly is the legendary Super Saiyan (a powerful, rare type), Trunks's genetic difference makes him the truly unique and rarest Saiyan individual.
Broly is capable of using his unique version of Super Saiyan, Legendary Super Saiyan, to transcend Great Ape and become a Legendary Super Saiyan-type Great Ape, matching the transformation criteria to achieve a "Legendary Super Saiyan 4".
Broly isn't in the manga. The movies are products of the animation company and usually have nothing to do with the author outside of character design, and with the exception of Battle of Gods, are never part of the official storyline.
True Ultra Instinct is an emotionally driven form of Ultra Instinct as well as an enhanced version of Ultra Instinct Sign unique to Goku. Perfected Ultra Instinct is a powerful divine transformation that harnesses the complete power of Autonomous Ultra Instinct.
Many people don't like SSJ4 because...
...it completely breaks the consistency of the art styles of all the other transformations.
So, no, Sun Wukong from RWBY is not a ripoff of Sun Wukong from LoL or Son Goku from the DB series. They're all based on a character from 16th century Chinese literature.
Super Saiyan 4 is stronger. Super Saiyan 3 is approximately 400 times stronger than base, while Super Saiyan 4 is about 500 times base. This can be figured out by how the transformation is obtained. It's basically the Super Saiyan transformation combined with the Great Ape transformation.
Anime canon: episodes or arcs that are considered part of the official timeline despite not being part of the manga. For example, Sumire is an anime canon character that was put into the manga later on, the same as the school trip arc that didn't happen in the manga but it was mentioned.
No, Gotenks is not 100% Saiyan; he's a Hybrid Saiyan, a fusion of two half-Saiyan boys (Goten and Trunks), making him an Earthling-Saiyan hybrid, just like his components, but with doubled potential. He's considered a Hybrid Saiyan because he inherits human DNA from his mothers (Chi-Chi and Bulma), not full Saiyan lineage, which is why he's in the "Hybrid Saiyan" category in games like Dokkan Battle, not "Pure Saiyan".
The Ultimate Tenkaichi Hero manages to defeat Omega Shenron and collects all seven but is confronted by Ultimate Shenron who attacks them when he is summoned due to Omega Shenron's negative energy. The hero manages to defeat Ultimate Shenron, removing the negative energy from him restoring the Dragon to normal.
The kanji 悟 (Go) in Goku's name means "wisdom," "enlightenment," "awareness," or "to perceive," representing his journey of understanding and spiritual growth, derived from the Buddhist concept of awakening to emptiness (空, Kū). He wears this symbol on his gi after intense training, signifying his mastery and connection to Buddhist principles, much like the original Monkey King character.
Goku was never dumb in Dragon Ball or Dragon Ball Z. He was naïve but was always quick to learn new things. The dude was an orphan from the mountains who had never seen another person besides his grandma and still assimilated to living in the city and using machines and capsules and such.
Monaka, a red alien from Wagashi, has large nipples known as the 'Grand Ponta'. This term was clarified to Goku by Monaka. Despite his amateur status, Monaka is valued by Beerus as a key team member.
Gogeta is Snoop Dogg's favorite Dragon Ball character (Gogeta is a G)
She was conceived by Toei Animation for the Tournament of Power, inspired by the popular movie character Broly, also known as the Legendary Super Saiyan.
Her name was changed from "Chi-Chi" to "Milk" in Latin America, because "Chi-Chi" in Latin American Spanish means "Breasts". Her name was changed from "Chi-Chi" to "Kika" in Portugal, because "Chi-Chi" in Portuguese means "Urine".
These are the traits that his many, many adaptations share, including those in anime. This is where we come back to Dragon Ball. You see, the Japanese reading of Sun Wukong's name is Son Goku.
