Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANA6WtlUJd04O
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAl4IgESjkG0
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAfvSQCARiza
Goku smirked.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAXSeSRp61hL
Goku: “Bring it!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAQ64DYPDtpp
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAz3mZG7Vb2a
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAQdGi8MVJnZ
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAY26o7PCBWp
Amaterazu: “What!?”
494Please respect copyright.PENANA03OH7DiVnp
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANA4sMnHWKsGG
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAjf3v9AwcF6
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANApSkMrTpZzW
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAd4kDV26UhI
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAjKKuUIVFRw
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAmhDGk8RP88
Goku: “I'm better!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANA7Vs76xJInF
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
494Please respect copyright.PENANA9SSSLqDCrT
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAOMItTEu2KM
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAiTS97BzZw9
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
494Please respect copyright.PENANABYynAQQ9PF
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAZRi3FwEA9b
Krillin landed next to the prince.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAA1LjRARqtq
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
494Please respect copyright.PENANA76niNWZ40f
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAezmR82pg5C
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAwC3zeROfw3
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!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAxNYkg0eHED
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.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANA29VPcs0D2a
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAzn3tqCnxxN
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANADWkmZhajb4
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAFWcHUjPsze
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAyzJTXtLBFe
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANANDI9WCrT6j
Amaterazu: “This again?”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAEn8poNSIhY
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
494Please respect copyright.PENANA8F4rYdvMN7
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAW03H44Leu6
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAEYDSMVlPNi
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAzIOXAlRWyA
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANABhqRtSMaPN
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAuPk3S461Gt
494Please respect copyright.PENANAn9GrrlmcH2
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAHX6Lrs7YBp
Goku: “Take this!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANARTMZ3NnCeb
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAQ36LWnsu4x
“Goku!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAo6UhNxnUvB
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAO1jV8lQmG6
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!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAx4ziE2Bd49
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAFz9cFplWNP
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!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAJD8V7CvCll
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANABkJVKwEqwE
Goku's tone was harsh.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAXhYrvMxudO
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAnR8Zn8M7Id
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAsyfh7oD4D3
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAoe2nVoNLcc
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAzFKESRKV4i
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAwolSu5LUFI
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAKXDyLA81CJ
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAnAOQ4KVAOU
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAHdBAekfpqe
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.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAhhoqhfKOF9
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANA64CP7ug499
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAxZzUl6dPuG
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAulAHTggXt0
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAzfkVz8Qsrm
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.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAGG1H55E7AK
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAuAJaRGEq6b
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAjEL0nO1g8M
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAN8wkIZFxKk
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAdC7PPeIm3g
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAuoSHpC3EQU
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAJccVoZzkd2
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAj56qnZqn4w
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAWNzbprpUkT
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAKG6fvYQTCG
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANA1Bz5obAMEI
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAIeWCDdGRDW
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAdPFbWLfSnW
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAgIniRgPjBb
Goku: “A finisher?”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAzDFYnYOYHz
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAr5BPMEIKiv
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAdggOfNhjXR
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAinVvrNrC7c
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAvqf1rsQsgx
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAAHKXKT6bvD
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANA2mM8WzMAiR
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
494Please respect copyright.PENANANBLINSQsWt
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANA00YMs0ealK
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAvmaXYFucSD
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAUBnpnKRwyj
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAatuf4zzQyS
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.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANATXZLP4FW4o
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANASpw81Zcuo6
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANALeydSCsWp5
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAHKlMtstq0x
Krillin: “Me too!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAdU3ZTlyFPx
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANASK4jSt2qbf
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAtsAczf5M9B
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAAA5pXLsxxb
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAerkw4J5p5D
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAXqmlDzXz3m
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
494Please respect copyright.PENANA7I2I9nrNBp

494Please respect copyright.PENANAwNTXcoBxyc

494Please respect copyright.PENANAG37Zkak2XG
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAs1vSQeUCaK
Goku: “He's done.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANA4mPHytS6sG
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
494Please respect copyright.PENANALK2rHIxBC7
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.
494Please respect copyright.PENANAryHxzDLqyN
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.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAFqOKb0bXuW
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANA2AK12N2HHa
Vegeta: “Right.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAUcgWtQpQYj
Amaterazu twitched, he attempted to stand once more, but his legs failed him and he collapsed.

494Please respect copyright.PENANA8KJivdacHK

494Please respect copyright.PENANAHyjF7ZAk3q
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAaH0ZlDKEWh
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.”
494Please respect copyright.PENANAYcLCBEtfbO
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
494Please respect copyright.PENANA5QyuIrSC1N

494Please respect copyright.PENANAaLMGad0sOR

494Please respect copyright.PENANAyMDOUMQxg6
