Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAdkpCAR4SgO
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
160Please respect copyright.PENANA2TSRJ1HVuz
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAYSIdvEqvKm
Goku smirked.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAXw8OSr3i5a
Goku: “Bring it!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANABEev2Lhlo3
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAv34jTSl8ap
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANA8sc2rWKmA5
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAshcZ7hXCGS
Amaterazu: “What!?”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAlbObHFNFy1
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAPF78668oRR
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAciHBMBvHW6
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAqODEH6bYYZ
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANA4pqsMBnCbB
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAsaxeu6KdWq
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAWD7MVbOuhp
Goku: “I'm better!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAzbX67BbsTc
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAFziszK4UBL
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAWUf3Ho3Zkl
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAHvuWepfDtH
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAn2eUVFZJuB
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAt6rEUSdYqI
Krillin landed next to the prince.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAjcDEyKQR5a
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
160Please respect copyright.PENANA2qIIXahpiP
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAeriDioiNHr
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAlanVhc3kCo
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!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAKLG1yPlK6Y
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.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANA57pvdTTiea
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
160Please respect copyright.PENANASyAAdW32lN
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANA7L9z7TqA5r
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAW9RBWXLLEn
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANALsSA1rqCDx
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAxqnq2RBHPq
Amaterazu: “This again?”
160Please respect copyright.PENANARq311BL0gS
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAuBSTahwgXl
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
160Please respect copyright.PENANADeRri1wzgd
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAf41NnCJgti
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANA9pGg0xPGod
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAt7rajGd315
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAtPEXrtycP3
160Please respect copyright.PENANAGJHAIUmx48
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAw7iXdUUWdE
Goku: “Take this!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAxSE62kWrj4
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANA373LUBSW95
“Goku!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAB9tOAj1P6x
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANArVXFNRDnhR
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!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAZebkzSlT1f
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAvinTz9iSFA
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!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANApwNJCR8y5K
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAXDfH7gIK6R
Goku's tone was harsh.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAEHDc8d5QxQ
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANASmur8w3ytr
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAzDOUJuPPs4
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAfXQ0oScGuM
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
160Please respect copyright.PENANA94K1OPybP2
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAdVK0sjAVi7
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAqVyh1r1Cze
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANApFIVxdGS26
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
160Please respect copyright.PENANADX8rJFVxQl
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.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAdTsfF2wX9y
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAa67dY4rDqe
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAyGs6ocTbfp
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANACcIK6KfSsS
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANApQ71a8IkZv
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.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANA0Z79pZiWti
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAHXYbfsMUgx
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAcUx5wi3993
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAN8y77fcj6M
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAoO8yD5vZLm
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANA4GYB7fyvRa
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAWfQSrs5SWo
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAXm6fNHDDOv
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAWzkWzLJvAC
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAQwsqzXpqhd
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANA1XCBGDTg8Q
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAsNKakUxaTj
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAqeuGUeoxU6
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANArRH06BkqJl
Goku: “A finisher?”
160Please respect copyright.PENANATVnavZGplp
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAd0CXBmMyGq
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAAZQNMUEZtQ
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
160Please respect copyright.PENANA2yrDHsH82q
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAieHjwtIIq4
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANA48KaapMKuk
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAT31EHdWlie
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
160Please respect copyright.PENANA32ktGAa8s8
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAIL8TWp80IG
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAbfnWDYGf9u
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAmqzkMr1Qbt
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANA0KIcBULFYY
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.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANA0ENmcPpw8L
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAWAKLU0vyxO
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAR8MCEXlp9k
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAcQmfpNrFyB
Krillin: “Me too!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAaxYf7qPmmm
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANArB0OfXlQxP
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAYeNqIfIw7h
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANA3AELlRkjUN
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANASkMhlDPLHd
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANA4g9CxA1ikO
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAXGaOTtEogQ

160Please respect copyright.PENANAWAQSaq2M3A
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAVagGODKLfL
Goku: “He's done.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAdCBaGvyIKR
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
160Please respect copyright.PENANA3obnXyK8lN
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.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAvUHVghdyhY
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.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAN7BsR2ennm
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANATgpHMN02CU
Vegeta: “Right.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANALC5Kbp0Dd8
Amaterazu twitched, he attempted to stand once more, but his legs failed him and he collapsed.

160Please respect copyright.PENANA38Tgq7bpMO

160Please respect copyright.PENANAZbdqBZPp2z
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAYc4j3pN0KM
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.”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAEvB33dNnAA
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
160Please respect copyright.PENANAO2hEAeECrV

Goku: “This isn't over yet!”
160Please respect copyright.PENANAwZ3z5AoYQv
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.

160Please respect copyright.PENANAxaHM5dz3AL
