Gogeta’s Super Saiyan 4 form was revealed as part of a new trailer released on Sunday by Bandai Namco. The trailer revealed the release date for Super Baby 2, while also revealing new gameplay for the upcoming fighter. Gogeta was revealed at the end of a trailer in an exciting teaser. After Goku says, “I’m a bit strong than I was before,” a clip of both Super Saiyan 4 Goku and Super Saiyan 4 Vegeta are shown doing the fusion dance together to form Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta.

For those unfamiliar, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta is a character exclusive to the TV show Dragon Ball GT. Unlike most Dragon Ball designs, this form was not created by series creator Akira Toriyama. Rather, it was made by Toei Animation character designer Katsuyoshi. That’s because Dragon Ball GT isn’t official canon in the overarching Dragon Ball world or story. It wasn’t based on the manga or Toriyama’s plans, but rather just an anime meant to continue the franchise past Toriyama’s works.
That said, Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta, as well as the other Super Saiyan 4 characters, is still very popular. The strength associated with the form is immense, plus it ties back heavily into the nature of the Saiyan race. As can be seen from Gogeta’s look, Super Saiyan 4 turns Saiyans into partial apes. It’s a reference to how these Saiyans have attained full control over their transformations into Great Apes when exposed to the Moon’s Blutz Waves.
Being such a powerful form, the only time Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta is seen in Dragon Ball GT is when facing the show’s final villain, Omega Shenron. Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta is easily able to overpower Omega Shenron, though, befitting the show and both Goku and Vegeta, they fail to properly use it to defeat the villain. Super Saiyan 4 would later appear in video games including Dragon Ball Xenoverse, Dragon Ball Heroes, Budokai 3, Raging Blast, and Tenkaichi Tag Team.
Bandai Namco is only willing to say that Super Saiyan 4 Gogeta is coming soon, though spring or summer 2021 seems like the most likely release windows. It’s something for Dragon Ball FighterZ players to look forward to.
Dragon Ball FighterZ is available now on PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
