Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA0G84jFvtxn
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA6oqvjC6Wqm
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAUChC6PW8OI
Goku smirked.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAZYjqYa3wSE
Goku: “Bring it!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAex36yTMrPU
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAZYcBdKI2sr
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAJISDZbKdql
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAEs1hC8IrFe
Amaterazu: “What!?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAS3GZcYklJV
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAsDDgIza8IS
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAxf19ukt0qa
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAQng2erxFt0
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAjZOMeKb2io
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6LPGdZZOL
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAAf5tKUzTBm
Goku: “I'm better!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAQgXcYAVbul
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAwxaF4nZ82r
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAFrVHleTAjP
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAtiwiFTSAgD
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANABak6fWMztA
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAvnuhudFf4t
Krillin landed next to the prince.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA5lJKs6DukJ
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAcuPsvn91Wu
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAA5Eln275Ey
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAZJRuX0sToq
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!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAMaZRN3jVnZ
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.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA39hOtnU0qD
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAhaG4I6FyiO
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAC61BEFcAoo
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAM5yVzYcym1
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAGkUDNEzJnn
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAjilgqm4tAw
Amaterazu: “This again?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAqkEJ1bBEjA
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAttBdAHXTr8
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA35hAhI8oJg
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAKQFDFhKe8Z
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAZzxXwZAwQU
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAIx518gJoPy
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANADw9AYg7dJT
448Please respect copyright.PENANAU0LKWbBEE5
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA3nFFLmdB4x
Goku: “Take this!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANArOIj4NFi5N
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA2fAJR73UIp
“Goku!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAYEtiUgjvQT
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA1Myc2SKsfU
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!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA859DBxKRQz
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAkxx43iKQSN
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!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANADwSdyx7fTm
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAvKO0YLO4FR
Goku's tone was harsh.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hp0LfaRmS
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA3CAbLmtxbs
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANADLJHhFHJu5
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA8bCZKrFwXP
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAZwakMzo0f2
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANASjsbba0mCN
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAr5LD3aap6z
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANATkFkhxOvwn
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAXDUzjk4VfU
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.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAYYhddcBNps
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAZkp4v3Soe6
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANALcLzCgtRHi
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAyeieZXjiTL
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAVHLtzRR2ug
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.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAvx3qgUAuLS
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAsoHmRPJxoY
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAKjTd6fkzd3
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA5DJkweohUb
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAr2uUi5KERS
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAu9bDOeos65
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAMfa4td8HcB
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAofeiXzb7bB
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAaNS6hpJzdk
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAzmyR0Vs425
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAFUXxPN2l0a
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAJYA40ZJR0W
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAI1X9ge9Blh
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAm8WwDLlMqO
Goku: “A finisher?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAprwA5grx5d
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAIpPurwb9EV
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA7KMF64hpWl
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAA36bK6auWj
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAJY3lqMUmX0
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAw5fvrGxh9m
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAmcy2k561zy
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAAmA6CiKwhC
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAqqTne5mQAJ
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAm6sucLd29j
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANATAPXwxPiV0
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAuxbUJEcOoX
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.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAA4K9AporwA
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA3kdYZlvjcS
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAGuUMw1n5Tv
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAyNpdvwIZuZ
Krillin: “Me too!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAoZQkzNJfSV
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA1U1uiKr7Uf
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANALjaJfMFnCy
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAYP7DVO99cN
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAriAd0r2dmr
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANA1ojgVRMmCt
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAVDiRvs3fW3
He looked around for his friend.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAnYPB4D3Ndn

448Please respect copyright.PENANAN2eK9QJGPi
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAUsM7txwSeu
Goku: “He's done.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAl4UmfJYBDt
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAGoc9btBsHU
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.
448Please respect copyright.PENANACNPNd3LUQX
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.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA2vHaT4lclK
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAgLNMREV53e
Vegeta: “Right.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANA5tcMKLwUiL
Amaterazu twitched, he attempted to stand once more, but his legs failed him and he collapsed.

448Please respect copyright.PENANAzawucoBiWV

448Please respect copyright.PENANAwqRKVVX5gx
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAUxZDp9Z9LC
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.”
448Please respect copyright.PENANAXldHZEZucU
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
448Please respect copyright.PENANAqc6osAizzp

Goku: “This isn't over yet!”

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.

448Please respect copyright.PENANAzRKwFvLIhz

448Please respect copyright.PENANAVKkD39ku27
