Many fans of Dragon Ball had always wanted to see Vegeta reach Super Saiyan 3 in the official storyline or something close to it. That’s why this series delivered a perfect moment.
Watching the Saiyan Prince transform into this powerful state was one of the most exciting parts of Dragon Ball Daima and had fans talking about it everywhere for a long time.
Some might argue that Vegeta’s adult version of this transformation against Gomah looked even better, but the real surprise was when he first did it as a child against Tamagami Number Two. On top of that, he actually won the fight, which made the moment even more satisfying.
Interestingly, this transformation also sparked a wave of memes in Latin America, where Dragon Ball is incredibly popular.
Many joked about how Vegeta decided to "save energy" when facing Beerus in Battle of Gods. Since Daima, if considered canon, takes place before Dragon Ball Super, fans pointed out that he could have used this form when Beerus slapped Bulma.
However, the explanation has always been that Super Saiyan 3 burns too much energy.
4. Goku turns into Super Saiyan 4 for the first time in Daima

No doubt about it—this moment in Dragon Ball Daima will be remembered, whether for better or worse, simply because no one saw it coming.
Some fans had theories that Super Saiyan 4 might happen, but very few truly believed that Toei Animation and Toriyama would actually go through with it. In the end, they proved everyone wrong.
Even so, this scene stands out as one of the best moments in Daima, thanks to the sheer surprise and the incredible display of power.
Of course, the adult form would have made an even bigger impact, but just seeing it happen for the first time in Daima caught everyone off guard.
Interestingly, this also connects with a recent interview featuring Akio Iyoku, the president of Capsule Corporation and a close associate of Toriyama.
He described Daima as "Toriyama's GT," explaining that the series is meant for those who grew up watching that non-canon sequel, as well as their children.
3. Vegeta’s bath joke with Bulma

Vegeta and Bulma’s relationship has always been a favorite part of the Dragon Ball series. Whether in the anime, movies, or manga, they always get moments that are either funny or genuinely sweet.
In Dragon Ball Daima, one of the most unforgettable and hilarious scenes involves these two.
During a battle with Gomah, Goku, and Piccolo come up with a plan to remove the Third Evil Eye from the enemy’s forehead. However, Vegeta refused to step aside and let them take over.
That’s when Bulma stepped in, telling him that if he didn’t let them handle it, she wouldn’t bathe with him again. Without hesitation, Vegeta immediately agreed and let them execute their plan.
This moment quickly became one of the funniest in Dragon Ball Daima and took the internet by storm.
Fans flooded social media with jokes and fan art celebrating their dynamic. Beyond the humor, this scene also shows how much Vegeta has grown as a character.
He chose his relationship with Bulma over his usual stubborn pride, proving just how much he values their bond.
2. Goku’s Kamehameha against Gomah

Goku’s Super Saiyan 4 power display in Dragon Ball Daima was truly unforgettable, but his Kamehameha stood out the most.
It wasn’t just the best attack in this anime—it was one of the most powerful Kamehameha moves in the entire Dragon Ball series.
The way he built up the attack, the patience in his execution, and the sheer force behind it made the moment legendary.
His energy shook all three Demon Realms, destroyed their bridges, and blasted a hole straight through Gomah’s stomach.
This was one of Goku’s most incredible moments, which says a lot considering his history of epic battles. It felt like a special gift for the fans, and Toei Animation absolutely nailed it.
1. Goku going through his transformations

This moment in Dragon Ball Daima easily stands out as one of the best. It perfectly blends a nostalgic reference to the original series with breathtaking animation and pure excitement.
When Goku shows off his different Super Saiyan forms as an adult to Gomah, he starts changing into his fourth form, leaving everyone completely stunned.
This scene strongly reminds fans of the first time Goku transformed into Super Saiyan 3 during his fight with Majin Buu.
Because of that, many expected him to stop at that stage. However, his shift into Super Saiyan 4 was beyond expectations.
The animation quality in this transformation is possibly one of the finest Toei has ever created for the Dragon Ball series, even compared to the original anime.
Without a doubt, this moment deserves a top spot among the most unforgettable scenes in Dragon Ball Daima.
Final thoughts
The best moments in Dragon Ball Daima will always spark different opinions, especially since it's the final story Akira Toriyama worked on and had some bold creative choices. But for those who truly enjoyed the series, these moments hold special meaning for many reasons.
