Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKU1o52TVt7
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAzhkLbh38NA
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAvKUotgzVAq
Goku smirked.
152Please respect copyright.PENANARZyeBW5RsT
Goku: “Bring it!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAkhkuhruO7N
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfH3QK1qCNm
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA93QVoIeveL
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAgyxaFkGTVP
Amaterazu: “What!?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANARQfxlkSF0K
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANARosGF3WGmg
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAgX917XSDMG
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAswmS98SKH9
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAEdQmAjlxyn
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdaBOUfn3fj
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAbkrHAOzInq
Goku: “I'm better!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAC2WOdqRp4W
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPlhnPkGN5f
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAaRdsh2uxAg
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAnpnTkG0aTv
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqdVFhMTrqm
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPMG9NfuOfI
Krillin landed next to the prince.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfjoijhulyM
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAhtafG3ab2Q
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAI8OzjnWXam
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
152Please respect copyright.PENANANgAymiziEg
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!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAeuOeuPGNkt
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.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAWGwmohDkV1
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAI9cc2SMuYv
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAicjwGKqPSl
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAUpzw8bzmzT
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4d0IgBWWVS
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZAgxFBZ54H
Amaterazu: “This again?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAmht9naL0Qd
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAHFGsiGydMf
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPbPGxFlQhV
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAKAOF1ia5Ey
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJDMHZhuZNm
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3T5T7Q18gW
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAGDBEKCPqP8
152Please respect copyright.PENANAIidcWPAiKW
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANABBVEhuLKKW
Goku: “Take this!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAgj065aUAEn
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwxLumnYRVn
“Goku!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAAEHLO5bmsy
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfwmtIi0TtZ
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!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdR1Lt0eCoO
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7b6jlqCses
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!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAWX71a8Rd3S
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfsR8Mth3QN
Goku's tone was harsh.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAv7DI47ym8K
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA1xOqnKOTnF
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAlZV9rlb3k7
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAXkcSTkfs7k
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAtyf5ZQth3I
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdFnuGGFfZ1
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9iyR494Ubo
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfcqeiWBw7C
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAW0wfxDUkWS
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.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwTp8Z6tviY
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANASeXIl4fNkB
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAj9nsPQD7Ua
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQqGEdoWscg
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAzF9xZA0OYf
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.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANANPfjAVI7LL
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAG4LZiqFOi4
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAJU6uS6QMmX
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA8nBbRD1uoP
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
152Please respect copyright.PENANANzLPyp332A
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQRXZXHppry
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAaxWAfrK3qB
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAU4mHjMOwxQ
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwWmSlonHYl
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAd0VRep69ZK
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwkFUH5XaNT
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA44E3L39uxO
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANADCK39LWe4Z
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAWuzHXxHPFP
Goku: “A finisher?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAm8MSkYfmLa
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANADXqtAv3vp6
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4xIT1YZP3M
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAIgiJia4yw4
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAgpmzuBdYcb
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAo3cETr9efR
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAcGIjsdShZe
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAEbchFUFHDx
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQrgw9bPLXL
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAXXyXxDrW9t
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4qCdYhP5Ao
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA1Tbk5L5yLZ
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.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAA9kW0Gyucu
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAs06cMPRdZC
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAa4BVsliO8J
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqnOJXpS9G2
Krillin: “Me too!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAvXACVIMage
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0SXdQzTQ4U
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxAb3bbVM3Q
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0AuwPxWi5y
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAs4UfGq04iu
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMmh2yWKA1u
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxSY4N6ApCa

152Please respect copyright.PENANApmXpQFHyub
Goku: “He's done.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAWSnfjVZW1a
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3JXQ9htB5s
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdEGXXaVt1t
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.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAXtDunKHbMk

152Please respect copyright.PENANAIfEpw1JJxv

152Please respect copyright.PENANAk99WFw1GM6
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAg4t8sa9smI
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.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAoaGfM20UAp
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
