Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANA1c5FeSJ3ew
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
402Please respect copyright.PENANADtdjlAT6xX
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAJUI8en4xiH
Goku smirked.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAUNnOTx45Eg
Goku: “Bring it!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANA5vmmxdOoFc
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAm3BMw62Y6T
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAXwytU47hzo
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAgA4jWQiNzZ
Amaterazu: “What!?”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAGvxFqXHk4Q
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAJFfikeU1y9
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAvbABb4IU5I
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANACXoeQfkTP4
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANALLq1Oo0NbS
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
402Please respect copyright.PENANA66lhC1W15O
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANA6cwa0UU6Hd
Goku: “I'm better!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAyXxMBkiS0a
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAJqEmD5Eu82
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAbShYVDH5pz
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAtvqL82y1LU
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAgdsTve1Xup
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
402Please respect copyright.PENANANxoxk2qqJn
Krillin landed next to the prince.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAkxbglhbjFg
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAP8E2kCakhN
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAyKCEp38ZKi
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
402Please respect copyright.PENANA2qUY0WmrKE
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!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANA18L6zakUdv
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.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAQ3RGSNibPu
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAaYDMPcLZfG
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAVCDQlSAEK9
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAihYR5VqH0P
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAgJtZ7oMMss
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAQi07BrkXgW
Amaterazu: “This again?”
402Please respect copyright.PENANACQbaNHwMXY
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAYoLcapBxb3
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
402Please respect copyright.PENANA1swnvMMwXR
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
402Please respect copyright.PENANA8gM1MeLLEE
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANALpMQgjDqcR
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANA2VyCmyOF8a
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAN2BfvSAjHO
402Please respect copyright.PENANA5GkUqiykVS
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAFavEpRoQ7b
Goku: “Take this!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAswwC6qwni1
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAISmpJhWqzc
“Goku!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANARhSEPfmPIK
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAbbluNzTmpK
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!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAdM5g5oCjAX
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAWiB0q8kil5
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!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAL7hqEuVTnN
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANANEtocdkGzN
Goku's tone was harsh.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAjIQcnSSnq0
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAZaCJjZKH3X
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAsXsVsmDIDC
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAbeSDYja116
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAW9S2hfcei5
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAuJHNUvU1Ih
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAtIY37Sxbwg
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAmWZK3KTETM
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAoPDyGgPyhp
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.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAUCdIObk8fG
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAENcO8KWPyR
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAVI9Qf6Yaes
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAZGw5c1a3sN
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANALuTLgB2h0G
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.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAZrFNyS4xWb
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANArHOcCr4E9C
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAnrokmvngJa
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAeZent4vGQK
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAHyJfkVUeH8
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANA1h9i1hMo7y
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAqWoOkIq3ws
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAwWa4XqbmRN
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAsarQUkFRXL
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAhM79uGqzP5
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAUvmvA1FpQR
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAYLVwi7MmYr
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAOqyHd6aZPP
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAoOBHcYtTmf
Goku: “A finisher?”
402Please respect copyright.PENANA8xnWK34HcE
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAIXBCxu8d3u
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANANyICUE54j4
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
402Please respect copyright.PENANA09zG2cL6tE
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAGenx31avCr
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAS0VC5qpuXL
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANARnM67a6Ab0
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAUxlN3b3oBW
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANArIXNlqWMXc
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAgXmmbP2Oin
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAvmpkvPIM3W
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAmYJE4vYFUz
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.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAMIS81lZM3W
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAD0lCi6SSO4
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5dz5szHNu
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAcGfJSl9FhO
Krillin: “Me too!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANASJ7KlOTGd6
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAsCHI7D9xUL
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAkQk2IBBup0
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAmmLPZ2dnEA
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANABlqGSg5ZPA
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAuF6pK2wdB7
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAQrmuBJw54k
He looked around for his friend.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAXZzoAgSwKy

402Please respect copyright.PENANAKhuqx5BbQ6
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAAA36nqdc09
Goku: “He's done.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANA4KFV4t89qT
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
402Please respect copyright.PENANA4uGFAUui8i
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.
402Please respect copyright.PENANA5KNcmyPbXB
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.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAvFEXpgbnKS
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAFivPh7UbJG
Vegeta: “Right.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANADl0LGbvfjD
Amaterazu twitched, he attempted to stand once more, but his legs failed him and he collapsed.

402Please respect copyright.PENANAehasu7nvsz

402Please respect copyright.PENANASAjEis80G0
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAsAlV3XwYFe
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.”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAWbsDQZWWcC
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
402Please respect copyright.PENANAeACYKYd4uP

Goku: “This isn't over yet!”
402Please respect copyright.PENANAep8jRC9n9r
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.

402Please respect copyright.PENANAKCdQcayfDQ

402Please respect copyright.PENANAICP8wmdCp4
