Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANATpi42lrti5
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA29t1WXDqWL
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAA3kBr8sJGG
Goku smirked.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA07qS7hUUci
Goku: “Bring it!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA4QumjAdYGb
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAORWwo7UVjY
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAgoozYurel5
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAJrQCAUZk28
Amaterazu: “What!?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAxcg8rS6Yb2
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA7CZ90rlwF4
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA1c3nCiPIZz
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA0SRTXYrlGr
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAwWwPj6txRe
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAZjTAB6X1rZ
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANASO3pCwkN8H
Goku: “I'm better!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAr85ATXWvIM
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA9rzGQwpdut
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAX1ZjnxUj55
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAsLFeFseW7H
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAnhgtkoD3Bw
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z6Z7LAzoZ
Krillin landed next to the prince.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAB20LvzUY6q
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAmFTIa82X9f
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAT1Uo0qy1Iy
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA0LcRIDNYgb
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!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAPma5LP3RZY
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.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANArX5AOeu3DN
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAJmAMdP5hlU
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAWtQCKtooUz
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAjWX7N2Y65E
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA8GovtMDADe
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANANBn6g4F85n
Amaterazu: “This again?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAOdgH9h468b
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
430Please respect copyright.PENANATABJxcu1F8
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAAqj03JZvlB
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAloiI8Sy1KW
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAmafhHlDRJC
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAH54EuW0LzC
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAgi5AhIXoxO
430Please respect copyright.PENANAd0w4M5pYeh
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANATIvlI1d2r5
Goku: “Take this!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANADids9wuhcq
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAFjUSNaU8RG
“Goku!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAu9LIYt13dA
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAkEgrixNznZ
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!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAhiYfsdhDEb
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA4SGTzqzyJ4
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!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAcKFh7e5DvR
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAn0tMWgdPvo
Goku's tone was harsh.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAV1hfKe6OYC
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA34TOk0jJiZ
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAItD0zPnuaQ
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA0sAlsSm7iD
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAZTTbvSngWY
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAv9Xp0PQzeL
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAKcGKUOm49S
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA31Qx8SAb1r
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA66imgXHuf5
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.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAbZvLqcF7UC
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAllYWrvYxp6
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAMXtrqdEQuo
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA9GDkKhysVH
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAb4r6Vsxz7b
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.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAWRhdCCIsUc
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAn7fpShK0aj
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA0G0couCkqB
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAmYmbD1a8YH
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAAdgKGhgcl0
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAYCzhIjv3A1
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAebv13gw0El
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAnzS7e9RgH2
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAJXbW8TdMDf
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAnYGNHqLLD1
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAenCGCGw3hN
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAp8n4BCNH2e
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAbo1YjOyKkc
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAFWSeEZz4j3
Goku: “A finisher?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANArPxpq04DTl
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAT18VptEmBz
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAEzS0ug7Amo
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAYPVDMHEvZV
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAm99LyId7fJ
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAD0J6xT3w5R
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAHesBcUSz0r
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAKqgiJUMdWk
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAEfIZCRgfDz
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAOP2rYSCpsH
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAlOyjM4YjJ5
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA1t8FLi3aFw
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.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA0wRYHw6pxt
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAJMKtnbwqiO
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAooP0S4Tss4
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAhWsmSsUFKI
Krillin: “Me too!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAGmNsvQuXHy
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAySeDFeBxGA
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAJRkmziCdVs
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAExOyc4yhAq
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAyJQW1G7rhn
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANA7q8017FBKw
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANACVuIBd0mVT
He looked around for his friend.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAUEkOPKuMG2

430Please respect copyright.PENANAcrsgmo08rc
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAbjEemFVUm2
Goku: “He's done.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAk3CCNAId50
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA9C9SUnzNN6
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.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAl1jXRJAI7k
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.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANA1JJGlUsUHH
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAdgkneRpbot
Vegeta: “Right.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAAPQKtzO1VZ
Amaterazu twitched, he attempted to stand once more, but his legs failed him and he collapsed.

430Please respect copyright.PENANA4FsPEFZKH7

430Please respect copyright.PENANAeZIhN6lggh
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAl6R7FYOIYo
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.”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAv6YtefLv7c
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
430Please respect copyright.PENANAN3RrUUXe2O

430Please respect copyright.PENANAXWgi9gcFgi
Goku: “This isn't over yet!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAG3UoYyzWpU
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.

430Please respect copyright.PENANAFXp8PwzI02
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!”
430Please respect copyright.PENANAK3hJjCahIG
