Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAXWMkQ8btPx
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
546Please respect copyright.PENANA5U8vRRoJul
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAxDvMcgVhzt
Goku smirked.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAIByUJMYDyI
Goku: “Bring it!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAf6KpidjarM
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
546Please respect copyright.PENANA8ArbOa0usd
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAdeImhPwgPk
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
546Please respect copyright.PENANABe10HHvMuE
Amaterazu: “What!?”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAYE22bCeC40
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAJbdWSSK2cG
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANANsZ26Tj5d8
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAiwHutG4P3w
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAxWVjl4vBpb
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
546Please respect copyright.PENANApnX7TCP2Yy
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAUSndwm20e4
Goku: “I'm better!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAarKNPoH3F6
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAFs9UIVxcLs
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAwEOYuATU4f
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAtbi0rqRUjg
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAd1AmeIAJsg
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
546Please respect copyright.PENANADKpHhDINBt
Krillin landed next to the prince.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAvEjSgtpER7
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
546Please respect copyright.PENANANFMlglYD8g
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA2JxsIIHFOm
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAsBtheBKpuZ
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!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANATtA6LFVTUr
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.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAK8e9byas97
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
546Please respect copyright.PENANATPsmfXuqYR
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANApit1r3IyTr
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAXLcb82ng9l
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANASbihiBKcOO
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANARQE8u4xjpZ
Amaterazu: “This again?”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA14LYbHpljI
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAHMq7yhXKsN
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAsc2qteP6rT
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
546Please respect copyright.PENANA161rE8tddK
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAmhFdsBFUgO
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAWEA5YmqrfV
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAEcOnwFWFaZ
546Please respect copyright.PENANA2KRWjElVlx
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAxhMf9BAUBE
Goku: “Take this!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAfQUYZfir0H
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANA5Jsxhxn8C7
“Goku!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAE5OHsqn8bF
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAyVbtTqkLOD
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!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAmnMhgXtVFW
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANASoJAvxe4oG
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!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANABDG5e8ZUIf
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAKNaJThVdeN
Goku's tone was harsh.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAV4u1tMCGrD
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA2bFD7AcXVh
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAuum7M2LpTo
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA7RQT764WmU
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
546Please respect copyright.PENANA5daVeOHSOY
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAt6ibE4jwQg
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANA1TxaQwi6QF
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA7seieBfaW2
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
546Please respect copyright.PENANA5gsudOy5lS
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.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAt0nZr2CwkN
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAi0Y1j4vVlA
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANA1pF41uOqqu
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA41x4tH6eDF
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANA8mtSIfIclt
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.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA5saUjao9ab
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA3J08Xo3Xl5
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAZHgWrhiLSN
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAJIAc7HZPFL
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAHyJSAAoMaT
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAdtHaZCy5oT
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAuhzS9R8MyM
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANADHu3bQLsg0
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAc8R3tRmmOD
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAcQqIUq6qRB
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAH0sa7Ku1cj
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAeyoTQGmge0
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA1cUkBJ5ybO
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANALfCkmvLEIH
Goku: “A finisher?”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA0F1J3LFhCb
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANA9LuwYUJ1kK
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAy5A85E6EAR
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAOAJgMpGKCR
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAak95g7JZF3
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAUG5UznyEih
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA5c9pb31sqr
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAzwMaRaOTCQ
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANATS4CCLm3FR
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAWRGFWLc8L8
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAealZqmEiSH
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAOqFaCEjtve
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.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA7yzwZkr3Fw
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAjTbqd46Yeo
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAlcitMlKWuE
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAO7Mq9i5sOl
Krillin: “Me too!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAMfxGPI1W1W
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAsEtI8B2ZRd
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAa1cV08bUIt
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANA9PUoo189jq
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA9CO4KbFJjo
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANA6WVpDyiYQE
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAWFmUv4rFWJ

Vegeta: “Did you?”
546Please respect copyright.PENANA9VRIBGmw2B
Goku: “He's done.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAo741n6C1zf
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAgrY0ePEsQN
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.
546Please respect copyright.PENANAikPsEnuSJ9
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.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAeWLyn6ZxyU

546Please respect copyright.PENANAblSeepHAdH

546Please respect copyright.PENANAnfM2C9ymlq

546Please respect copyright.PENANAoLAsOCQk8z
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAhNRNCarNPp
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.”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAPdJjzbY0O2
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
546Please respect copyright.PENANA6hqrmSzk9Z

Goku: “This isn't over yet!”
546Please respect copyright.PENANAACz5nJKz1b
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.

546Please respect copyright.PENANAQTfGwSsvU9
