Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANABe7UZIBK05
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAeosGCqavB2
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
500Please respect copyright.PENANA5xoPQlES9W
Goku smirked.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAzqdPjdLFFa
Goku: “Bring it!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAB9Kt06s5Zx
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAc6DPcN8Eeq
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAujZEVwLqFh
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAtzayLomlZR
Amaterazu: “What!?”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAYKVoNNp8Sj
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANA1DX2cNDmqy
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANATxkUO1PiIG
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAQI5IMa6sEM
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAjYYkCNAuMQ
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
500Please respect copyright.PENANABpjFOYDula
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAYBq16npfAG
Goku: “I'm better!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAYdBR5RhqNS
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAptkTP9Dnwo
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAF55bYZJ7qh
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAEIsbfdizfv
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAUlD38Mhr22
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAuvQACuR5ZL
Krillin landed next to the prince.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAH2ACX6tkfV
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAEsnY7J3lMq
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAWUvK4P9BiC
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAgEAer5OqaG
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!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAXlpLUpjR6Y
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.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANA0vHfullF9s
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
500Please respect copyright.PENANASJe0yxKwPo
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANADNkUlrktPo
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAaIz1p4SNm1
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAVaGFQfxzYe
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANALoTn3WMhNH
Amaterazu: “This again?”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAoJ0o9fCpzV
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAaSmMeQfjiH
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAUI5FBxXJ6C
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAGsD04Rzom9
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAkqG9KB1xKf
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAKF8UTLr76B
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAoNpM5X8pYF
500Please respect copyright.PENANAbtNJJ0KGob
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANATF5KETk5Ld
Goku: “Take this!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANANkAMcLyyY8
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAr9t9a7RGPV
“Goku!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAL0Cyl9Wkn5
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAegIL3UVV3L
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!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAvQBC4VZZTF
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANA6DJ8Z3U2el
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!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANABeHczNnCAH
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAFQeq27515y
Goku's tone was harsh.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAUYJtAJHDJ6
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANA0N12lGtLot
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAxpNb9poC9L
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAWx8c9y6UkB
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAtUxWI1w9xx
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAgUg8TeJ0oi
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAcybbjSatdY
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANA7kH9Lq9Xwx
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAX44ehkXa90
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.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANA6l3VBOEwpY
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAvs00EbELeT
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAufXP5Suxpp
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAzglW91XMtt
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANApbB7VhRSeJ
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.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAUhvSlzh8zn
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAvEjSdLfYsc
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAfLKEGFHe2W
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAijLkPxP779
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAF3NCi8Flzb
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANArosqG2uWKz
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAwyke2XGYEb
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAiATzlk3Y6q
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANA4JNviTXf0l
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAdChb4wr4Tv
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANA46MPdLytYc
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANA4rJjfHXIg8
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAXBab6gakUk
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAE71vZgruns
Goku: “A finisher?”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAGfwAyt7qPw
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAzxeAiVD36v
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAfeF1RHhUrI
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAcpxEiCIQi0
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAUn6pKbya8d
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAHFkUJWlcgS
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANA0MoG3nlpJj
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAc0UpE6Rfyw
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAqlfgCVNwGJ
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAmggOkEpTRg
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAM8Mbp7nas4
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAazuIG7hlMF
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.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANA7RaSBMaWNg
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAzsYeHoAbS0
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANA4R7f3olmY6
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANA0u7BrTBVAL
Krillin: “Me too!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAmuAoRXVCiI
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANA11MUIE0d9b
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAq8wIEYVTng
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANA8h3NmtUlJC
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAWXKNoBuNye
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAC0zOdRzLrK
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
500Please respect copyright.PENANA4gzop58IB5

500Please respect copyright.PENANAmBRxclz7QO
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

500Please respect copyright.PENANAntJ5yoZjth
Goku: “He's done.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAU7qIQaPD0l
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAos12s1XzAx
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.
500Please respect copyright.PENANAqqhiiJE7Wi
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.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANATke0Asn9Ch

500Please respect copyright.PENANAVM3XXmGzdq

500Please respect copyright.PENANAdZni2QEuUA
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
500Please respect copyright.PENANACzg66CMn0T
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.”
500Please respect copyright.PENANAEtOhZdfwKC
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
