Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAfNnhcMzLTx
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAWgr4xUtvHe
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAbeHmbTos1G
Goku smirked.
262Please respect copyright.PENANA581WH6CTfs
Goku: “Bring it!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA6nj8YRFqY9
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAar8ESsGX0q
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAv6hq96lpJq
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9sFJQ7OWA
Amaterazu: “What!?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAWXWSzl2qEt
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAOw3KO9VcPv
He shattered the shield, smashing his fist into Amaterazu's face. The burns on his knuckles faded and a new, stronger, layer of skin grew on his hand. Amaterazu swung his spear forward, only for it to be caught by Goku. He broke it in half with his elbow and immediately used his same arm to hit Amaterazu with a backhand in his face, followed it up with a hook, using his other arm. He went in for a roundhouse kick but Amaterazu blocked it with his forearm. He formed a gauntlet with spikes around and took a shot at Goku. Goku dodged it just barely, getting a scratch on his face. He caught Amaterazu's arm, and with his other arm, he struck his elbow using his palm, breaking Amaterazu's arm. A sharp bone, shaped like a blade, tore through the broken arm. Amaterazu stabbed it into Goku's lung. Goku spit blood. He shot a ki blast at Amaterazu's face. The fire God weaved his head to the side, avoiding the blast.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAzoZes6bleb
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAkP1LpPhsNP
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAhP0K2wUoTQ
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
262Please respect copyright.PENANA5Dw6sJF9u3
Goku waved his hand in his direction. The ki blast he fired earlier returned and hit Amaterazu in the head. Goku removed the bone from his lung and kneed Amaterazu's nose.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAtCrEZJpH93
Goku: “I'm better!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAsncYzV4xm2
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAKErFmzTlGg
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA0f8GgKM8il
He struck Amaterazu with a clean right to his face. The punch sent him flying. Goku continued the assault with a heavy kick to his stomach. He flew a few feet back and hit him with an uppercut that tossed him further into the air. He dashed upwards, preparing his palms to strike. Goku drove his palms straight into Amaterazu right before making contact. The force generated an explosion that dispersed the red aura. Amaterazu's body floated in the air. Chunks of it had broken off from the impact.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAqRVPbpdwuz
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANArogKzNo8n4
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAGxXWnFifRA
Krillin landed next to the prince.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAqog3bJAlY7
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAWHNWp9nQZR
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAZAvVUPbEgw
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAjqsnGp6z01
Amaterazu: “So, you finally pushed me into trying. You realize it's futile right? The moment you force me to my limit, I'll simply grow and improve whatever I'm lacking!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA9S3uVG9zSh
Goku: “The other us couldn't succeed in defeating him. But you're not like him, you have skill that breaches the barrier of strength, you have the wisdom that he didn't and more. You don't have the strength to win, but with faster adaptability than before, that won't be a problem.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAeUgp71fY2S
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAdPR8VFHNXh
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANADSe1zbJAT7
Amaterazu lowered his eyebrows in irritation. Without further hesitation, he commenced his attack. He let off a flurry of physical attacks. Goku dodged and blocked them with his best effort. Amaterazu swung his spear towards Goku's head. He swiftly leaned his head to the side, suffering a graze from the spear.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAmAMcxlXUfx
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANASTBVBkgLVx
Amaterazu used the moment of distraction to land a knee to Goku's gut. He spit blood from the blow. His body faded away into thin air.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAjJ63ioSDvo
Amaterazu: “This again?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA9XVKi8PICi
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAaQPeLYLnJy
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAEnsPFbdUPu
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAnSCAzv59Fj
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAM0mcm2fxFl
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA6a3agWUuYg
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAlr7159pd6K
262Please respect copyright.PENANA5EiVrdOUDI
Amaterazu spread out his arms and legs, releasing a scorching wave of fire that disintegrated all the after images at once. Goku teleported in front of him. Amaterazu looked down, his eyes widened, realizing he left himself open. Goku's fist glowed red.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAFh1tVSjEUf
Goku: “Take this!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAlofXEVAGqX
He delivered an explosive punch to his stomach. Amaterazu gagged before being knocked into multiple mountains, each exploding upon colliding. The blow created shockwaves which shook the earth. He charged a sphere of ki using both of his hands and fired it at the fallen god. The sphere connected, exploding upon making contact.
262Please respect copyright.PENANA58zxBFHT1h
“Goku!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAniPaEDEQzY
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA2qtHe3xx9B
King Kai: “Listen, I just got Intel from the Supreme Kai. This Amaterazu guy, he's no joke! With the way you're fighting now, you can't beat him!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANADgyYAmq1J2
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAtDFMJ6BAqf
King Kai: “As long as he's motivated by the hope of the Tatsu race, Amaterazu will continue to evolve. The only way to destroy him now is to end it with a single blow! If he has even as little as an inch of life to hang on to, he will recover and his body will do everything to not fall victim to that trauma again!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAWIxXjXMXkw
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAuLaA3elnx1
Goku's tone was harsh.
262Please respect copyright.PENANA0nlXM4Y8xw
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAaw7nQU4qeS
Amaterazu rose from the rubble, he was accompanied by multiple clones which followed his lead on his way back to Goku. They all formed a storm of fire arrows and launched them his way. He reacted quickly, using instant transmission to teleport near one of the clones. He got a hold of its shoulder and used his technique again, transporting both of them in front of the arrows. He caught the clone in a rear naked choke, preventing it from moving. The arrows pierced through it. He let go and kicked him aside.
262Please respect copyright.PENANADYfnIcB4kO
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAoby9ffQq2N
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAuNCifn8PEt
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7sL0xAuWW
Four different clones bound Goku's arms and legs with their flame chains. They pulled them apart to restrict him from moving. Another one came in and bashed his flame gauntlet into Goku's face. The blow knocked blood from him. He continued the assault, hitting him with multiple combinations to the face and body.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAY0ie1kLhca
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ4uFTEA51
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAKVbQhQTLqb
Goku: “You continue to go on about how a stronger saiyan fell to you, and yet you still haven't kept your promise of doing the same to me.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAR6EolutHAC
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAZMBe4akTCC
He struck him again, knocking more blood out and leaving another bruise. He went for another blow to his cheek. His fist came to a stop, as though it had crashed into an immovable force. Goku turned his head to his opponent. Amaterazu struggled to push against it. Goku smirked before breaking free from the grasp of the chains. He wrapped them around his arms and legs, ignoring his skin screaming from the burn, and struck the clone that stood before him with a mighty combination of attacks, using the chains to amplify his damage. He slammed his arms into his head, smashing it clean off. The body collapsed from the sky.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAO5zgd2PxvN
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA7rjkMB2Qp0
The clones tensed up, they brushed aside his words despite them stirring up irritation amongst them, and charged in to attack. Goku shot past all of them, reaching one that was far from the rest. He stood face to face with him.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAr2wsWwDcmf
Goku: “Using them to buy yourself some time to recover. It's not so ideal when your ki levels are higher than theirs, picking you apart is like picking an elephant from a group of mice.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAsFPQ9PUNC2
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANArbhLbPjmer
Amaterazu swung his spear forward, only for it to be caught by his own chains which Goku wielded. He yanked it away and tossed it aside. Amaterazu desperately went in for a sharp right, Goku caught the attack with the chains, he twisted Amaterazu’s arm which left his guard open. He kneed him in the face. After unbinding his arm, he wrapped the chains around his neck and viciously swung him around, tossing him into space. The force of the throw sent Amaterazu smashing through entire planets.
262Please respect copyright.PENANA8WQ79eDqkf
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAYg2kR5yRdR
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
262Please respect copyright.PENANA0GVWguVaON
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q3yv0QkCM
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAYNl8tO7bt7
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAGKuoz0F1Z0
The dragon diety's forearm cracked. Goku smirked and went in for a roundhouse kick. Amaterazu leaned back, evading the kick. They took a distance from one another. Amaterazu was visibly irritated while Goku's confidence was glowing more than ever.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAUP4lHUauaa
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANApfRPaPjKUu
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAnX8SX2jyt2
The two warriors prepared their stances before engaging in intense combat. They clashed back and forth, trading blows, each warrior displayed their vast yet distinct fighting styles. The speed of their battle was too much for the spectators to see, the shockwaves they left behind were the only visible indicator of their battle. Goku landed a punch to the diety's face. Amaterazu landed a kick to Goku's liver. Goku hit an uppercut on his jaw. Amaterazu slashed Goku's face with his claws. The two charged a ki blast in their palms and slammed each their blast into each other's. The collision created an explosion that sent both of them flying away. They caught their balance and paused for a moment. Amaterazu took heavy breaths. His body was bruised and slightly injured. Goku's body trembled and his breaths were heavy, but his smirk remained.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAy8srM7Nqnb
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAuohqWSWrrG
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAVmVFkrSmaR
Goku: “A finisher?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAPWN2F31fH1
Amaterazu spread out his arms. An aura of fire illuminated his body. The aura grew larger than a mountain and formed itself into a giant avatar made of flames. Massive, feathered like wings, bloomed from the avatar. He flew into out of orbit, the massive figure's glow could be seen from earth. He forged a bow and arrow, pulling back on the bow to prepare the shot.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAeBX7d6JH2U
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA3zZh5RhjmE
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
262Please respect copyright.PENANA7UBBF6bAFf
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANArAvFUypMZ7
He shot forth the arrow which split into three before merging back together, taking the shape of a Phoenix. The arrow pierced through the clouds, splitting through even atoms. It created a massive gap in the clouds, expanding as large as a continent. Earth's defenders watched in horror as the mighty arrow made its way towards them.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAEsEEzOm7nb
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA6KlMCRmoFe
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAm01NnTKLVG
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAMb5qL4birY
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
262Please respect copyright.PENANATjTmhA4544
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAKWNgapSsOt
He fired his attack at the arrow. Amaterazu's attack met no resistance against Goku's Kamehameha, it pierced right through the blast like nothing.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAcPOk4KLyJk
Goku: “I'm stumped, I'm finally paying the price for my bluff, I never had the strength to compete. No! All this time I've been relying on my natural power. I have to look further into what I have at my disposal. He relied on his natural strength, I have that and more.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAEKoh09xaq6
Goku relaxed himself and closed his eyes. He took a deep breath. He opened his eyes again, revealing a red glow in his pupils. He examined his hand.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAdlpPnIjDiF
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAiCRfBSbk68
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAI3Sgn2TmuV
Krillin: “Me too!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAESgiBF6Xc3
Goku rushed into the phoenix. He caught a hold of the tip of its beak, using all of his might to hold it back from piercing him. The edge was only centimeters away from his face. The force of the arrow was pushing him back.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAZrIvJY2xqK
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA4q3D2o88Gz
The heat of the arrow scorched Goku's skin. He continued to struggle. Every last inch of his body was urging him to let go of the phoenix, but even as his body pleaded for mercy, he endured through the pain.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAZN3iDm064j
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANALjcMfsdkkB
He let out screams of agony and determination. The attack's momentum was finally coming to a stop. To everyone's surprise, Goku forced the arrow still. He began to swing it around, gradually picking up speed with each swing. He tossed the arrow back at its sender after building up enough momentum. Amaterazu was shocked to see his own weapon turned against him. With no time to counter, his avatar raised its hands to block the attack. The phoenix smashed into Amaterazu's avatar, creating an explosion that blew away even those who were on earth. Mountains were wiped out, trees were demolished, the landscape was reduced to nothing but a massive crater. The smoke cleared, Amaterazu came crashing down from the sky. Vegeta laid face down, slowly getting up. He desperately examined the area for his allies, quickly noticing they were all fine from the explosion.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAvuB1oU9xDy
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAELrPk7xAiT

262Please respect copyright.PENANAG9pbd2mBoG
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAl69RHVIwXb
Vegeta: “Did you?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA7aHJYQK1B2
Goku: “He's done.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAdVQuF8aqrJ
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAzw9xuN5dLG
Goku: “At his prime, he was a collected warrior with confidence along with the skill and power to compliment it. The truth is, I never had what it took to beat him. So I severed the source of his power and fooled him into believing the situation was hopeless. Without his mind, body and soul joined in perfect harmony, the source of his power crumbled apart. An individual powered by his hope has nothing to fight with if there is no hope to guide him. The other me couldn't understand that, he didn't see beyond into the opponent, that's why he failed.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAV6sAjFHyEJ
Vegeta: “I don't want to ruin this victory, but I can't help but feel like this win hasn't helped your little dilemma much.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANA76yLuCUJro
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAgGR9BXvRuV

262Please respect copyright.PENANAq9NTqzaZ4j
Amaterazu twitched, he attempted to stand once more, but his legs failed him and he collapsed.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAq8OWqZsw2r

262Please respect copyright.PENANAoY4uIDWjeh

262Please respect copyright.PENANAmoe3didZJf
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAbGCxVAxCZT
Vegeta: “Quit it! The man you were looking for is dead. You've served your punishment. My planet was destroyed years ago, most of my people were lost. Now I take every chance to help any fellow saiyan I meet however I can, that is a duty I took upon myself as the prince of the saiyans. Don't throw your life away like I almost did, you still have your people, return to them and be the leader they need you to be. Revenge serves no purpose to them.”
262Please respect copyright.PENANADPGFIf9fo1
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
262Please respect copyright.PENANAB7XKBm0xgD

Goku: “This isn't over yet!”
262Please respect copyright.PENANAy4wyhsVP2x
Goku raised his hand to Amaterazu’s face and fired a blast, destroying him completely. Vegeta watched in total shock, unable to comprehend what he had just witnessed. Goku smirked.

262Please respect copyright.PENANAXumZr7FqeB

262Please respect copyright.PENANABAHQ2hGjJW
