Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9DyGnRKLda
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA7D1V31MWny
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAInoOjP4paH
Goku smirked.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAoYzXI5HNUq
Goku: “Bring it!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAi2QPupdth8
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPHc0lxo2J7
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA2IRCYhzl4g
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
460Please respect copyright.PENANANB0lKLhuod
Amaterazu: “What!?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAtwMe1WcThv
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA4yNbEDxMmG
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANARFMZdC9FLj
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFUMr40AVUf
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAIpDxoBZajv
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAuuARl7wdpP
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAPnDTNStAI1
Goku: “I'm better!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnTNsUv7Ofa
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAJryCqVt39v
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAqlQW6RUg66
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAz0UZUuCETQ
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAFjRBkd9TQy
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAvGBPcVb2zl
Krillin landed next to the prince.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAAsfOQUsmpL
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA8s9NHGHOIU
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbGw0zLmw1h
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEUnD1JCjl8
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANDrUJ0L2iS
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOVg0skSi2w
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANASJrhP0p7jU
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHFV0Vuhp4N
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXxmMmz9IYo
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAL1MY9ULlXd
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAgEYbXtAwc3
Amaterazu: “This again?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAz8KxeworNn
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA41ql97pURc
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAn31ZcKB4c6
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZtNDR91nL
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAXoINbTErWb
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9zDIloFSAN
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAn6uLdO6ROP
460Please respect copyright.PENANA0dSWU6CSib
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANANSGBLnY5e4
Goku: “Take this!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA9aYlrfN2vZ
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAcp4qLP8oHM
“Goku!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAHVfgwpCS2L
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAjXti8sJdJw
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAy1hlN5iSKs
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwIS9H3pk0N
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!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOhiTxLa6yF
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxnvGsxvcfV
Goku's tone was harsh.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAf4lnXapEKj
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1DqptNoUKI
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAx8UGVmLiro
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAg9QwPBzOIm
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMhb7FTLtZz
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANANTRkPGHZZo
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANANPrJLAnrQX
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAclN9smLoRg
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAn10IPjkFn8
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANATjbEBIHVvH
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGgckEL0ilt
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAeYRtz9ZALS
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAtB8eiGpR0q
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAA2mduUzl43
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAh4Qr9gRF3Z
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMxnGsbvtCK
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAd8YUgqKl5Y
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAlVbj9e1eVF
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAq5co35W9BC
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAWd5WnJ63QH
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAbP9FRmKkfh
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA27DDenTHQ0
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAnlyIvJRRPO
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAxcit1EsTtV
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5iOJ4ujrh
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ7xgjOJjw
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA97qzXJhnGe
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA3eYCILVPSE
Goku: “A finisher?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwVu1wUNhg3
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAklrA70EtJr
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANARfTCj5JINq
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
460Please respect copyright.PENANA6N8yZfm9g0
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAj7jVLUPRVM
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAEP6jTFM5wi
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAzsqRShXVtA
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhVklr4oYA3
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAMtv1HZxwcH
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwX9bt7eHYS
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA3947pnemWG
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAX9kBCkgfia
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAYLkhbEf4n6
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAz5ZKym2H97
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAwYStBntbFJ
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAR7yymtLD0Z
Krillin: “Me too!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAos3TBDnFiq
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAs5KsxP2a0Q
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAc7ahJ0zCcY
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANASGOEzjQmxq
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAeKmoJosWRg
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANASYfPDfPrDR
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
460Please respect copyright.PENANApPKDRxikzY

460Please respect copyright.PENANAsuAMfUwauf
Goku: “He's done.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANA1vq7cOuQZi
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAr5ozbhYwC6
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.
460Please respect copyright.PENANAOV5nfrHOAG
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAGl6GD2MYDh

460Please respect copyright.PENANAzMS7qSUB80

460Please respect copyright.PENANATaBlk67gJa
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAhCPT7WwaEE
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.”
460Please respect copyright.PENANAH2j8U9KnHn
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.

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.
