Dragon Ball DAIMAhas been causing a massive uproar and a fuss with fan theories about Goku’s next transformation, and recent hints suggest he may not unlock a nouveau form but one that mirrors Broly’s raw, primal power.
However, there are many restrictions on doing something like this; Broly is not canon and has only been seen in movies in which Toriyama hasn’t had much of a hand. But there is still the fact that Broly has his own character in manyDragon Ballgames and a massive fan following.
If Goku manages to unlock the Broly exclusive SSJ 4 (Super Saiyan Jin 4) form, then Broly will lose all credibility, uniqueness, and respect as the Legendary Super Saiyan. That is the reason this transformation could be restricted to the Demon Realm, also managing to explain why the form Super Saiyan 4 never appeared inBattle of GodsorDragon Ball Super.
Goku might obtain a Demon Realm-exclusive transformation
With Vegeta’s Super Saiyan 3 form already confirmed and canon inDragon Ball DAIMA, the focus now shifts to whether Goku’s new power-up will finallymake Super Saiyan 4 canon.
This is happening because, as the protagonist, Goku cannot fall behind Vegeta, who, although a part of the main cast, is not a protagonist.

Fans have long debated the return of Super Saiyan 4 as canon.The movies teased this formfor both Vegeta and Goku, making the fans go crazy with anticipation to see it, but that never came to be.
If Goku gets it, they might only allow him to use it in the Demon Realm. That’s why we never see SSJ4 in battle of Gods
Since Broly is a special entity, being the LSSJ, many also believe that the SSJ 4 form should be tied to Broly instead of Goku or Vegeta.

Broly’s power has alwaysleaned toward primal instincts, making him a perfect candidate for such a transformation. Whereas neither Goku nor Vegeta hadn’t that many Saiyan powers in themselves and had to train to dig everything they had out. Meanwhile, it all came to Broly naturally.
Vegeta’s role and power balance
The setting ofDragon Ball DAIMAsuggests that Goku’s rumored transformation may only be possible within the Demon Realm. There are many reasons for this; one would be to keep Vegeta’s newfound SSJ 3 form relevant in upcoming arcs in the story.
Unlike Goku’s usual power-ups, the SSJ 4 form could rely on the mystical and chaotic energies of the Demon Realm, making it unusable in the normal world. This would explain why earlier transformations like Super Saiyan 4 were never referenced inDragon Ball Super.
