This transformation, which first appeared in Dragon Ball GT, has been quite popular among viewers for many years now.

With many fans saying it's Goku's best form ever and some claiming it's the strongest too, with others claiming that this is a dream come true, as it has reignited their interest in the series.
The episode has received a lot of appreciation due to the outstanding work that animation designers have put into it and the well-choreographed action sequences. It's currently the highest-rated episode of last week as of writing, and this is not even the series' finale.

Why Daima Is Getting The Attention It Rightfully Earned
One of The Most Trending Topics On Social Media
Daima's approach to storytelling and powerscaling was already much better than anticipated and with more grounded Saiyans having their powers closer to their heritage, it works much better than when every being in the universe is on a God level. This does not only add personality development for Goku, but also serves as a buildup for the show to show Saiyan forms down the line.
Posts on social media are a clear indication that fans are waiting to see how this new power will affect the story and final fight with Gomah in the show. The fact that the creative team does not mind adding characters and transformations fans from earlier versions liked also points to a good direction for the franchise. Fans are certainly hyped for the series' finale scheduled for February 28, 2025, and can not wait to see how the storylines will move forward.
