Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAMDYWZqRCYL
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAblCmZePROF
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAEAJHWwsjNZ
Goku smirked.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAjGL16Q5I5q
Goku: “Bring it!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAdPzlQsEdMU
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA67BP98L6oD
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAmQYbhqtSD7
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAcsoY0NTbm0
Amaterazu: “What!?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA9PeVTKrunX
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANACcUVqMjcVO
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAJlpyHKmNN8
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAOIGosRlW4Q
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAw8mKlba4Tq
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAKAg9a17EL3
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAqGCJxZQtlp
Goku: “I'm better!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAqx3qEtlnUj
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAwWEk8AvrqH
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAWL6d8QqbXZ
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAkRsGGRb268
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA3zL4zf6sc3
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAkebnZKQKg1
Krillin landed next to the prince.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAMAcIW0vqGZ
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAGaoihMj7E7
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAW6f3RXdsQ9
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAFtXCIQIH3B
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!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA7mZaT46k39
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.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAdPOy9O4jbX
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAzneAQI32nO
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANApmCWm85q7T
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANApQyaqsXbPw
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANADFYyFzRWey
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAoOUzHYPwWu
Amaterazu: “This again?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA0KJD6FRzWn
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAjeWOGxDIQz
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA9eAyCGlLJS
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAmhq9f42Xxs
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANABY7J59qxfF
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANApxSMPDAyr7
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAMNOluHWWsP
228Please respect copyright.PENANAQtbjESb5tu
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANALSdRcFrpOm
Goku: “Take this!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAOgZCMmzBok
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAH0rb5ZqRXs
“Goku!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANATeQeFiTyaI
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA6Dv9O32jcY
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!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAsrirRblxCT
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA9mMv2jqGH4
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!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA67BHaGN2Wk
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAcw38yObNt9
Goku's tone was harsh.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA7WhXOK9R9d
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA1lQuDB0S9Y
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA0R6rMhmPLh
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAaeoMWsZuox
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAXTYRCqRbIk
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA5qvugSmZDB
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAM7hfM95gtv
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAi8HI5I3Czm
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAkZyo8V7MTE
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.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAhg7BcBxn6J
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAH2gq6kySrs
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA9zKZe43qmV
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANASr1Z008IC6
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAa5WNoAQtMF
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.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAOyN6sQUnfW
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA7PJBFFpEOB
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAeyG6N3RZad
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAaj6O5JZris
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAOBuOgyN3qR
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAWMt0DeWHpZ
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAzDZhsYTMdA
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAzmrB5Rt8oA
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAXb98EvmzG3
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA4yN1Ng0YPl
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAeaYuBIsceu
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAkPqdvad37w
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA3VtlK04JuY
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANABUXvR031kq
Goku: “A finisher?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAQK8kfyegkL
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAX8Az8oSZRd
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAsGkY6JLQ7H
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA4mFqoekDHk
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAVaqczyOXMZ
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAXFgDAWoAan
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAH8NpD6VGks
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAfUHazhenwi
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAxNjdD3Zen8
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAsEIyVcu7qU
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANATWWqQ2hBUv
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANA7g6bpgH5iz
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.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAEY1Auv69pB
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAHZ4VeSc84I
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA4gZUelO8yb
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANARlgSqjdb11
Krillin: “Me too!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAeBXxvmKnfZ
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAI2zWGGSZMT
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA7vGIwYh9P9
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAc16f2nTsZr
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA72yqBEfpz2
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANArqyaua2pjS
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAKJFBE793eP

228Please respect copyright.PENANAHq9tpVnYWL
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAwNtbLe6nX1
Vegeta: “Did you?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA9xLtpN0KUp
Goku: “He's done.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANARroIH7gmic
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAVwMwjMfOeM
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.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAGJw1RmdnFZ
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.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAO70GgZwETq
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANA48y2nESIXJ
Vegeta: “Right.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1JcKZvmfr
Amaterazu twitched, he attempted to stand once more, but his legs failed him and he collapsed.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAVFipQcTKiw

228Please respect copyright.PENANAprotC0Dn2r

228Please respect copyright.PENANA0FLk8hdrIM
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAa3GV7T4aGK
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.”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAfjT5jt3LYo
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
228Please respect copyright.PENANAsWMnrnO5CB

228Please respect copyright.PENANAntEDh6yDar
Goku: “This isn't over yet!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANAgr9tBxX0mt
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.

228Please respect copyright.PENANAby0xff52oa
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!”
228Please respect copyright.PENANArohYfaDHcG
