Goku Finally Transforms into Super Saiyan 3 in DragonBall Daima

Breaking down the long-awaited moment and what it means for the final battle.

It has finally happened. After all the anticipation, Goku has unleashed his Super Saiyan 3 form in Dragon Ball Daima, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. Fans have been waiting for this moment since the series began, knowing that Goku had this transformation in his arsenal. Now, as the final battle against Demon King Gomah reaches its peak, we get to see Goku use one of his most powerful transformations once again. The stakes are at an all-time high, and with Episode 18 titled “Awakening,” there’s a strong chance we might see even more surprises before the series concludes.

A Stunning Super Saiyan 3 Transformation

Even though Goku is in his mini form in Daima, his Super Saiyan 3 transformation retains all of its iconic features. The long golden hair, the missing eyebrows, the intense aura—it’s all there. Despite his smaller stature, the transformation looked absolutely beautiful, and the way it was animated made it feel just as powerful and legendary as it did back in Dragon Ball Z.

What made this moment even more special was how it was built up. The Z Fighters, along with Glorio, Majin Duu, Majin Kuu, and Tamagami 1, were all struggling to bring down Demon King Gomah. Just when it seemed like all hope was lost, Majin Duu and Tamagami 1 intervened to save Goku, setting the stage for his dramatic transformation into Super Saiyan 3. It was a moment that reminded me why I love Dragon Ball—the tension, the desperation, and then the explosive breakthrough that completely shifts the momentum of the battle.

Super Saiyan 3 vs. Demon King Gomah!

Now that Goku has entered Super Saiyan 3, the real fight begins. Demon King Gomah has already proven to be one of the most powerful threats the Z Fighters have ever faced after Buu. His overwhelming strength pushed everyone to their limits, forcing them to work together just to survive. But now, with Goku tapping into his strongest pre-God form, we finally get to see if it will be enough to turn the tide.

Super Saiyan 3 has always been known for its incredible power, but it also comes with a major drawback—it drains energy at an alarming rate. Goku will need to make every attack count, especially if he hopes to stand a chance against Gomah’s overwhelming abilities. The upcoming battle will likely test just how far Goku can push himself in this form and whether or not it will be enough to seal the victory.

Will There Be Another Transformation or a Fusion?

While Super Saiyan 3 is a huge power boost, there’s still a possibility that it won’t be enough on its own. The title of the next episode, “Awakening,” hints that something even bigger could be on the horizon. Could Goku have another transformation hidden up his sleeve? Or could we see a fusion take place to finally end this battle once and for all?

There are several potential fusion possibilities that could come into play. We could see Goku and Vegeta fuse, giving us an incredibly powerful warrior capable of taking down Gomah. But Daima has introduced new elements, including the Fusion Bugs, which could allow for more unexpected fusions. A fusion between Goku and Glorio, or even a fusion involving one of the Majins, could be something completely new and unpredictable.

Regardless of what happens, one thing is clear—this fight is far from over, and the best is yet to come.

Final Thoughts: A Legendary Battle in the Making

Seeing Goku unleash Super Saiyan 3 in Dragon Ball Daima has been one of the most exciting moments of the series. The way it was set up, the way it looked, and the way it completely changed the momentum of the battle made it an unforgettable moment. But with only a few episodes left and the next one teasing an “Awakening,” we have to wonder—will Super Saiyan 3 be enough, or is there an even bigger surprise waiting for us?

One thing is for sure: Daima is delivering some of the most intense battles we’ve seen in a long time, and I can’t wait to see how this fight plays out. What do you think will happen next? Will Goku’s Super Saiyan 3 be enough to defeat Demon King Gomah, or will we see a fusion or transformation that changes everything? Let’s talk about it!
