EpisodeEp. 18

Super Saiyan 3 Goku finally deals real damage to Gomah, and Majin Duu copies the form through mimicry to press the advantage even further. When those efforts fall short, Neva draws out Goku's dormant potential, unlocking Super Saiyan 4 for the first time. But Gomah's Third Eye pushes him into a colossal giant state, and Dr. Arinsu sets a plan in motion involving the Demon Realm Dragon.

Power Meets Power

Having reached Super Saiyan 3, Goku finally lands meaningful blows against Gomah. The two clash across the floating ring in an intense exchange, far more evenly matched than before. Majin Duu and Tamagami Number One rejoin the fight alongside Goku, pressing the advantage from multiple angles.

Noticing Goku's boost in strength, Majin Kuu races off and returns with a giant cookie that he tosses to Majin Duu. Upon eating it, Duu receives a surge of power and uses his mimicry ability to take on a form resembling Super Saiyan 3. Together, Goku and the powered-up Duu push Gomah onto the back foot for the first time, landing combination attacks that genuinely threaten the Supreme Demon King.

The Tide Turns Again

Duu's power-up burns out quickly, and he is knocked out of the fight. Goku continues alongside Tamagami Number One, but Gomah unleashes even more of the Third Eye's power and overwhelms them both. Goku takes a brutal beating, and Gomah, confident he has won, rises into the air and charges a devastating blast intended to wipe out everyone at once.

Awakening a New Form

As Goku lies battered on the ground, Neva approaches and places his hands on the fallen Saiyan. Using his ancient magic, Neva draws out the dormant strength hidden deep within Goku, triggering a transformation that Goku has never experienced before.

Goku's hair shifts to a deep magenta-red. Fur spreads across most of his body, his tail grows back, and his forearms enlarge. Most importantly, his power skyrockets to an entirely new level. In this Super Saiyan 4 state, Goku deflects Gomah's finishing attack with ease and charges back into battle. He matches Gomah's increased output blow for blow, landing strikes that visibly damage the enhanced Demon King.

The Dragon Appears

The other fighters rally for one more push, rejoining Goku against Gomah. Despite their combined efforts, Gomah's regenerative power proves relentless, and they are beaten down again. Goku channels a Kamehameha, but Gomah interrupts and briefly knocks him unconscious. Goku recovers just long enough to fire the blast, but the Third Eye responds by granting Gomah a gigantic new form that dwarfs everyone present. Against this colossal state, even Goku's Super Saiyan 4 is not enough, and his energy drains away.

Dr. Arinsu contacts Glorio and instructs him to gather all three Demon Realm Dragon Balls. After reluctantly doing so, Glorio summons the Demon Realm Dragon, an enormous red entity resembling Porunga. Dr. Arinsu pressures Glorio into wishing for her to become the Supreme King with the greatest magical power, and with visible hesitation, Glorio begins to speak.
