Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAww05TF8mnL
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAZ0nAoN5DxV
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAD1uuX5ZlRT
Goku smirked.
878Please respect copyright.PENANA1Y9L6hnr7Q
Goku: “Bring it!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANACCi49jrRD8
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAG5h13VwlNN
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAfWIACvXHRU
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAE44rO4H22K
Amaterazu: “What!?”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAlx373wqFqV
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAuVe0Qul9px
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAWBw4MCLCvl
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANA9WUJ4xeF4R
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAVT2aXlCKdw
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAERr80YlZRG
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAshaLMdsrs7
Goku: “I'm better!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAsg9oNHsBlL
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAVafNI83CaF
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAmPpH8qK8Z4
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZPtB16VIW
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2aQHvXKD4
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAX9DufDOChF
Krillin landed next to the prince.
878Please respect copyright.PENANA2GAZNu1HLj
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAmy92hHS89d
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAXfsiwtrmpS
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
878Please respect copyright.PENANA0fX6ZecBCx
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!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAzjJwahPyRk
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.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAIYqXFQUBZs
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAkJ2UBKiQTG
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAY5CQHUYcOY
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAVCrJUev64q
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAF26FW4tI2t
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANA4WNVLyfaWt
Amaterazu: “This again?”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAWl5h5LYJex
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAhfQf2BziDd
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAOfmPW4tiHg
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAyvKfinTAMV
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAMXUw6QAOZ0
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANA2RSX6bPePV
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAJHPTXgoDIe
878Please respect copyright.PENANAT1jSBpmkFt
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAkIhj67LAPT
Goku: “Take this!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANA4wTNBXfzRZ
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAkP7GB0pBRZ
“Goku!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAexY6A0XyVU
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAMVfpFDn12s
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!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANATSBQ8rHjzd
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAI9aFcuW2Ew
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!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAtayc5nPlt2
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAgOqP33mFpq
Goku's tone was harsh.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAFga5RnrfXW
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAjWKhuUUa4N
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAMivgm6sdfj
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAxf2OG83BSQ
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
878Please respect copyright.PENANA8ezHyJKHcD
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAIGa5wNAM9h
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAJvmrXh1SSn
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAmdKPpAdnQm
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
878Please respect copyright.PENANA9PHAd4Vw7u
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.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANA3RAXnGCkIb
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAr5tQsCp0R3
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAGGyuwbODGe
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANA5l4Kd4O3K6
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANA1faG59NBa0
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.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANA0ft4sQRFaF
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAwDs9wvS0aw
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANA5uaAVstxGk
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAdcoWWDNKyh
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAS6X4xeQPos
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANA6IRj1bStjZ
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
878Please respect copyright.PENANA96foPypb0v
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAOXhtxB51Mz
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANABvUfF2suux
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAaC4mJoYTG2
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAhGqb6FBbAM
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAfxCRcwZdKQ
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAU6y4klBupD
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAgPbFBuhdvH
Goku: “A finisher?”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAurQRAvWZY5
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAvbFh4osZRU
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANALeF2jfvuiF
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAzr1P61qlC3
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANATKP5iT778N
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANARdd5n9bejH
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAARwUQe6aiX
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAee4Ff0QUOg
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAmPINc2Q51f
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAMabFgvLVz7
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANADV2cckEeBE
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAzy9LhevKyA
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.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAMDPw8MRJpw
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAPbvCuyKlx6
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAaBydZ1mvnd
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANA5dBpo2Y35Y
Krillin: “Me too!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAFFV2CHSdsV
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAFIhCORrizu
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAmtN76f54DK
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAT6fvKfcdTS
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAeh2zTGXDiY
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANA8xhtEhnbhb
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”

878Please respect copyright.PENANAc3DaPVxx6S

Vegeta: “Did you?”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAgnPvuEAGJx
Goku: “He's done.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAyxtufydJU2
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAaYkdsK1Ome
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.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAJpITfnk3wX
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.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAorF9WhQkc3

878Please respect copyright.PENANAvhJohsUtZk

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

878Please respect copyright.PENANA3ukbbWh1oP
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAt83FWLTJi1
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.”
878Please respect copyright.PENANAfJjDYnU9z6
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
878Please respect copyright.PENANAjk1EcVD3Xh

878Please respect copyright.PENANAOqzMFboZDw

878Please respect copyright.PENANADGY69FqcgU
