Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8iNIBFKbMm
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
518Please respect copyright.PENANALV9XjdXk0E
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAK4MeLc24rr
Goku smirked.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8Pj8ss9k9V
Goku: “Bring it!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAOaKcsZyGIi
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA1RDXSDkqBg
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAtoiXGL6xVA
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAO6fcseirHa
Amaterazu: “What!?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAfgik4cG08h
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA7ihg5qocsA
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANALeuAtaffQv
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA6Z8UYM7hcE
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAPE0Puq5teD
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAdZJmoMF5QG
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAuTcslHedIz
Goku: “I'm better!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAfArLrQntdm
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
518Please respect copyright.PENANATqNWBZTJRH
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAPzPsliJ0Hv
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANASIDrKdNoeQ
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAIXS8nhuv7W
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA0TLubIQEEr
Krillin landed next to the prince.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAi0XoL8lGZf
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAxMKEMcRy4q
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAf1lYolvCZ7
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAGTBIbxgEpV
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!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANALAs0DQ3igI
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAKRGRl7cvNm
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAk8tCrmy9ON
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAFWlgplL35t
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAHjISzZI9yY
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAMtlb2xHeEf
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAHhEjqx3Ujo
Amaterazu: “This again?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAooLuVuhBW4
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAA0tbxjS0O5
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAKdc9L6w4Ok
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAfGUflJl2Dw
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA3ufoDnTq96
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAikKRmkB1Bu
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA0hvIsQLp3K
518Please respect copyright.PENANAeD1Gm5rSu4
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANApQPXc9BSGJ
Goku: “Take this!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAC3kcbNKW3g
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAF4mbdl24zq
“Goku!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA9sbahWUYP6
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA29Igt5BhPG
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!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAwaW7fKwbqW
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA73gbVWUL1d
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!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAEMtQRA6D6G
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAn1wE03FrIq
Goku's tone was harsh.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAdklYUgWoXq
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAYZgSnPH58X
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAJdJGcC5U6o
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAtYqfhCcMp3
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAoLzcGzdM5b
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA78qmiTJIgk
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5DSnI52we
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAw1CP6OJhfv
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA1D6dABMMJd
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA8ylNgFJ5ZQ
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAgAXedWCmce
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANApVHlIDCa67
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAScithhm7Ho
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANATdVBsXjvHD
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA0EWmoKZcGZ
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANABMbo3lfeWw
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAMRE7jBreC1
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAXnjVKSxu7S
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAnzVpth6a90
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAIWq8sjYBJL
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
518Please respect copyright.PENANASPm8VQ2zH8
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAgdBKQvGB1m
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAjjvCiAurC4
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAo9HMLIF5fK
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA3VSUKB9zlX
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAv18WuyARjv
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAKfHoKRroRK
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANARdbSqm7IKa
Goku: “A finisher?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAxuFvDOMhcF
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA05ocEH8x6k
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAtrz2mACva5
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAlF5sNieyIS
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANACuxvSmKzFb
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANA5sbiq96OUk
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAcAiWdTEn24
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAwUztPNfd0Z
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAn5Z0AOi11J
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAjIUuluzZUL
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAtvjBxmp7rv
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAQ1XiGpQr7Z
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAnRnGLfGun6
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANADKjSveuco1
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAoPe9UvkSo6
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANALe0XQDwbEj
Krillin: “Me too!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAOe83toJlCW
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAtLccOrZjtu
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAxQKXVrcwBj
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANABR0rlOoYow
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAjkpyovNNJQ
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAB2K0aV6ABN
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
518Please respect copyright.PENANATISkWdLOXR

518Please respect copyright.PENANAsg5ryZRDnO
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANATLqPDbSzvF
Goku: “He's done.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA6FG4SDHlWu
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
518Please respect copyright.PENANA54PAyP4VPb
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.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAu9hD9WX99h
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAttYnTPnEi0

518Please respect copyright.PENANAFf9rNLYYxa

518Please respect copyright.PENANAzZukYCDQq1

518Please respect copyright.PENANAxW8OQdgPHG
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAX6nTbjps1d
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.”
518Please respect copyright.PENANAj219h8s9EI
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
518Please respect copyright.PENANAAVAxB9AiKN

518Please respect copyright.PENANA2YgOvqevra
