Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAMakARKvE8e
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAy4YiE3LVt4
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAxt5NucjRnB
Goku smirked.
360Please respect copyright.PENANA3lITu5vN33
Goku: “Bring it!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANA7er0O09zAG
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAd4iYJB5CEZ
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAWnwx7i0Ahc
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
360Please respect copyright.PENANA2YWn0wO0iy
Amaterazu: “What!?”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAwoI5Fia7Rg
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAmdZtsmewCW
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAO1ZhQZF5JE
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAh3Rz9SbZd2
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAjssrM6TYJ9
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAGmhPPkYpcQ
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAGBXgAbCi4I
Goku: “I'm better!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAujzS1b0LRT
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
360Please respect copyright.PENANADLtHdJScsR
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAz0EhXmWxhf
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAXBTZGJRiNL
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAnxspInLJuU
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAHOv5AV5kdy
Krillin landed next to the prince.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAyA2zmlSPKQ
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
360Please respect copyright.PENANA1QWq0ZPlKT
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANA3vHWP4mZny
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAL5t5WT2Ptf
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!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAo80klZsu6a
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.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANABxGAzbHoLt
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAvNIJq7YbI6
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAfjov4WqJxC
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAZENZEA3c84
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAwWpyQmOs0H
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAhvWP2ERxtn
Amaterazu: “This again?”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAjDlULJvLxE
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAZaQorX4g1t
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAKzxh1wRPTy
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAE96tQi6ftT
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAb6Jmxv4aUz
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAJboeerYAAe
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAm6urBijTt8
360Please respect copyright.PENANAQeyEnaZhnR
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANATjgYlG4yqu
Goku: “Take this!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAcZzeLWPMt2
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANA7Sq3CxI1U3
“Goku!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAvjuXbWQ3xM
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANARJd7hXVQve
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!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAcK4OoXVq4w
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAJJ3z2o6Ejk
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!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANA3ijsqQpaJo
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAJ7qyK2JNjQ
Goku's tone was harsh.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAjRP6hAX8hT
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAeYqiP8U07W
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAph1TIDTzSe
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAQjNojZ4I9b
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAB7fj3Sp95j
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANA3RVInl77Zn
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANA69AIhmlt0O
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAWeI9KoT1ei
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
360Please respect copyright.PENANA2eohmNnP8B
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.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAHnmfUB6N8B
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAyTdTrogOnr
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANA2aDjaUSRVM
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAXWuXyxymGi
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANA6CiKG4I1MV
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.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANA9phiXSodav
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAOY8F07LCyw
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAx6XcCsAE99
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAhrCcgLSTQt
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAJaJz3V4EGr
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAH78w0Iqn3G
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAH3I5DSwtEU
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAXd59AjmQKM
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAxZYA3qoPcB
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAopi8hVBQlS
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAgBWyV0wmXK
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAdfJt3U7zq1
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAIp74yQPI0M
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAM3rcuc8XPr
Goku: “A finisher?”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAUccgHn5Dgr
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANArnZp3IcdPH
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAjulwSRaLtJ
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAGMI53C7yb2
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANALGXTKCYZjh
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAzV0XgdUYo9
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAKZWB4SdUk4
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAEj2Yab9pY2
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAL8TWvVvNNQ
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
360Please respect copyright.PENANA7DrXfPZpXw
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANACMeOUyhp3P
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAmrTc6spnoJ
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.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAE8lcYgqNrl
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAVDdPFTxhrq
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAqmMw4KyBfB
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAi1DyERkeGl
Krillin: “Me too!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAeV7c1j9AiV
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAS1uYxDYCbO
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAir8sw6m6BH
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAKOypLrSBti
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAI1gqr6yWDv
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANApSKYDmquvF
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAU6Ht8FYLVD

360Please respect copyright.PENANAstObsr4gj6
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAwuGQTO9nbf
Goku: “He's done.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAtHainZoYtn
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAilTTD1n4oT
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.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAvXRuzB0OWI
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.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAMAVJUEzcm9
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAr1MxACmHVl

Amaterazu twitched, he attempted to stand once more, but his legs failed him and he collapsed.

360Please respect copyright.PENANAcOCvrRSPgX

360Please respect copyright.PENANAWk80fhPCCB
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAbMAvoi9Ls3
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.”
360Please respect copyright.PENANA8yKvzjo7qL
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
360Please respect copyright.PENANAzHnQn8DzjT

360Please respect copyright.PENANAqYiRPJzIRg
Goku: “This isn't over yet!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAEoYYbIB1w1
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.

360Please respect copyright.PENANA2O06OoefBr
Goku: “No, this IS me! I've never felt so free and relaxed like right now. He was right all along, my connections and values were holding me back, hindering my sanity. This is who I am, Vegeta. A warrior! The greatest warrior that ever lived, Son Goku!”
360Please respect copyright.PENANAvO74UyKzad
