Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAZQAU4G2qYP
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAerTYYZ7oja
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
226Please respect copyright.PENANACBPvvV9ST5
Goku smirked.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAz3jrE8UN7P
Goku: “Bring it!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANACc0MFfAB5s
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAjphUD4pC1I
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANALUHh4LL6cz
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
226Please respect copyright.PENANA0GT3ry6QdR
Amaterazu: “What!?”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAIDIBOMQ5Cp
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAjSnRVs2zS4
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANArk6qQgSg15
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAjsAq4yhrdT
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAK3KPR9mu1u
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAy9x8HfbPMC
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAGt0q3eEauS
Goku: “I'm better!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAjRyMtCSEen
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAMU4NMhd0dt
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAZkcj1la7XV
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAyJ6TTBM9R3
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAIxFOgLmT8d
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
226Please respect copyright.PENANA2g0FGEuNWq
Krillin landed next to the prince.
226Please respect copyright.PENANA73hrpSwJWG
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
226Please respect copyright.PENANALH3RB8iHqm
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAVq3Me2be41
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAKSLudZo7Us
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!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANADAWeKtSd3L
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.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAdhckehkE0Y
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAr3IaH66yd2
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAY6pGxidyBA
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAU07TZLF0mJ
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAqpkUCbLJv2
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAb0KQycylwS
Amaterazu: “This again?”
226Please respect copyright.PENANA8vpGHi3w8A
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAuGjj3JjNa0
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAj3bThN2iCm
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAvnNOKE8A4c
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAr7T6MwZAqB
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAvaaMZHtP6O
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANA8L1JEprtEn
226Please respect copyright.PENANA2camEUZawI
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAeKcXuusib4
Goku: “Take this!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANA7NXQlRaaom
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANA24zeAJtMpW
“Goku!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAnKQbP2rQyZ
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANA6ETvtU1M6M
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!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAfy6cRIpqZW
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAF4rKGehFWE
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!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAE0x3gTzCZ1
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAAiLZmGA0Ti
Goku's tone was harsh.
226Please respect copyright.PENANASszpYGFlzf
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAyIBLWB8m3V
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAHpjhU6dwpZ
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAldwOKbktH6
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
226Please respect copyright.PENANA0CNU0O5gVy
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAoWmr4X8er0
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANARmz9ok8zmp
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAJd6ds8Vq7y
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAx0Es8sXIaU
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.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAlis45lxKt2
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANA65a6HteNbt
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAzdijG6IwdL
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANA9Gc9WWoZUE
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAEqpwrPJHPt
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.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAL65tYtjiq8
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAn2lF6AYT1F
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAvprsehSYXp
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAlVbc0bJsBv
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAWWMEiBUIOl
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAGcWDzpEfxY
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
226Please respect copyright.PENANANo0ikjLdc3
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAoUrbNYObHX
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAVHipTVDNvN
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAqoY5ORpQND
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAEoy3uvjWpS
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANA38iYeLKSLW
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAoz00ICKPlD
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANABHJd4DCnTA
Goku: “A finisher?”
226Please respect copyright.PENANArJ0MSij1Wk
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANA1Cvyg0uM1v
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAGWNYeDj4rV
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAYomZ8lcIbT
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAhdsaYC0cjX
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANA95kMCfPQ5O
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAN2ih3oipN0
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAPlS3i2OdZK
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAjH7vQabA5A
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAvaz74wdhrx
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAsc8OpAxvxy
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANADtZCERMmow
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.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANABTStIDcZ0d
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAjg4nJgvgwT
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAB7GyScGljD
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANA8JgSiIp56p
Krillin: “Me too!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAwVUxPvSzuH
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAP7uHR7nUGp
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAMtHLhuzKDD
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANA5FRXN9GjAM
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAFBLU96Z39s
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAZaMZzPWnVb
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAiENVgx9Qx3

226Please respect copyright.PENANAPgYVx8Ypea
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAeRcK84nwMH
Goku: “He's done.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANA7f9C3NIc84
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
226Please respect copyright.PENANA3axiXbGqfc
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.
226Please respect copyright.PENANATufv7RJVvt
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.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANA2xdWByihFU
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAMPqXc6UYzG

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

226Please respect copyright.PENANAXbIkMUrFDb

226Please respect copyright.PENANAucgYyYuPcr
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAnBIPDGq7di
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.”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAQiVObX9Gxq
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
226Please respect copyright.PENANAd50vsYFDT7

226Please respect copyright.PENANAu4b3XAS9k8
Goku: “This isn't over yet!”
226Please respect copyright.PENANAe2OnOdpcVX
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.

226Please respect copyright.PENANAP78LO64Tm4

226Please respect copyright.PENANARSfxun1EL3
