Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAu8Elp3CqtO
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAa2VdFkhhy9
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
164Please respect copyright.PENANACB75VvColL
Goku smirked.
164Please respect copyright.PENANATb6mG9GI6K
Goku: “Bring it!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAFcp1k5NEDh
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAmWXfZI5grX
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAm8H6VAwHSR
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA3iH0EimUDv
Amaterazu: “What!?”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAAE9UoodWVa
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAOcTC5UpI96
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAc8hq93cN7C
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAIRQ6bMXIN8
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAmxj4EjPAMf
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAtBM1znD5xa
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANALvJ4MAEt7O
Goku: “I'm better!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAjwIr37ikfb
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA1D5SL3JPFZ
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAO9pgXE39J1
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAFGRu7zjqj1
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAHzuOk0upt9
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAHPT3xRQlUF
Krillin landed next to the prince.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAjpbKzlQEjz
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
164Please respect copyright.PENANA52BzhaWD66
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAmbOPX37LZd
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA6gOj8gLeVu
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!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAFe5o9Wq888
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.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAUhpyDlkYCu
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
164Please respect copyright.PENANACXZSRoHbi5
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAnyzRiHFiYS
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAGdFP1HFRtZ
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAYYtrhiOqUg
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAGTajCcWLWP
Amaterazu: “This again?”
164Please respect copyright.PENANA27fg5sEiul
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAWn7MKRdREE
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAcAlUY9vKeP
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAUOwk4anYQ3
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAvLXDGd9J92
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAAl0OrvfsvS
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8BJTLQdmP
164Please respect copyright.PENANAinv2RDiBgP
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA4d6ixIDtLS
Goku: “Take this!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAWeq6ak1JAT
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANABnGXnXzs08
“Goku!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAeSvSwHCodt
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAll0PijaOZB
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!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAt9jz5YYwtl
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAFxLfhJEEX6
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!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAnSyHCEyWov
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANA7sQJpmSsQt
Goku's tone was harsh.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAZipqP51O52
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAeg0BLvNzl7
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAKNTkwjY71A
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAQtKkzLiTLH
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAMh983WJs7Y
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAUW0wvHG2P8
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAs4ByUs7la8
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAlESQb1rixw
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
164Please respect copyright.PENANARl6TfsGMax
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.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAf6rZ7q4YRI
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6lnRIcLTg
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA3RapoMIEz4
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAicL81K168G
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAgKYzvESpeL
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.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANABbOkRvolxw
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANA31g6qhbYKb
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA5OuIrHeQPO
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANALDmfdDnH0l
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA085JZg7f7o
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAgw54XxOslO
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAxVmY6whP6X
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAFab7MM4qBV
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANALJLLKKX1KU
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAIWMRzfocnI
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANALD3bBR0JWE
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAVMsgJPK3He
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANA9ifGbUCD8g
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAlCgm5ro5ZK
Goku: “A finisher?”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAf1PaeSeBbp
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANACZOLPg2jBw
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAAKO46UQxhJ
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA8hwjghw5gO
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANA5iIbfiYe5Q
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAL21BeoBvib
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAYFtKieUuD5
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
164Please respect copyright.PENANApcTyZyWsMI
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAAZnOTjE01R
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAyM0L4WZp6h
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAP2Ig2JY9nz
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAAOEXfwsCfc
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.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAVXelygx6Wu
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAoLq4L36YE2
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANARjiwUXSbRm
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAKLRHuNT7z6
Krillin: “Me too!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAfctjppxeWn
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAt8TuS3JqZ0
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
164Please respect copyright.PENANA8JwVEL6hTd
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA9pBOZfdBEM
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAVPMYHZiSAs
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAGQNPV8jtZx
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAY0lXPR19Oi

164Please respect copyright.PENANA5pkfm7q7cJ

164Please respect copyright.PENANAICn3W3kQbV
Goku: “He's done.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAxI9J4c1RNa
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAeoiAMSgJUv
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.
164Please respect copyright.PENANA1p53M6viXJ
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.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAhqX0HCaS2y
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAC3xuDECbLd

164Please respect copyright.PENANArw1MMIG2Ce
Amaterazu twitched, he attempted to stand once more, but his legs failed him and he collapsed.

164Please respect copyright.PENANAEGKpwYNErB

164Please respect copyright.PENANAjDC0NDVfRT
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
164Please respect copyright.PENANAhEMvccSrfR
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.”
164Please respect copyright.PENANATs7QmTH4A0
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
164Please respect copyright.PENANAjuTEKt4bGV

164Please respect copyright.PENANAv8Ory1Lpwi

164Please respect copyright.PENANA5Bfh8SZc04
