Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA64yWjvWjii
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAZr0nJTx2Um
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA9qVu3pvldg
Goku smirked.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAfQPvC1Lf23
Goku: “Bring it!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAUoeA6WZkWb
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAI9JZPfw7KN
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAL6wya0at3U
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXWc4yZgoVj
Amaterazu: “What!?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAYaJpKBCHg7
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA0BQt0eQtkE
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA2Tz2UuPkws
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAPsgr61zWeD
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA1tWdDeXrKV
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAHJiPBDgkTg
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAqxS5myOzFj
Goku: “I'm better!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAmnHllfUQ7S
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAHrQC2zWwsH
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAO5PVRjjsEs
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA2tlGHltWTs
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXPLM2I8slh
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAj82igKj7Oe
Krillin landed next to the prince.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA1N7YuMXYjq
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAjt9Fx1Gf4h
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAkc1okOf36S
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAZgoHJJ0hOa
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!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA5BHzBsYafD
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.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAWHXj5NCrKs
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA04ujrG6FG0
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAh5GbzMQAaN
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANALlnwDDrk8W
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA5juqxPohEC
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAF6azjVt6Xd
Amaterazu: “This again?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAMoXf7utT0H
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
59Please respect copyright.PENANATk4vsVcDQC
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
59Please respect copyright.PENANArmSZjJH9Y6
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAYiqAbL8Kp8
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAyJUqN5dKxv
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAD4ohlfSY2q
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAsIN4BiT0fe
59Please respect copyright.PENANAn3KTbaH29l
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAlh9nYeyXjP
Goku: “Take this!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAofuuk2qkSo
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANASkx1kjRHjB
“Goku!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANATAZ7mI3gqK
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAsZ4EUZ7x7r
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!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAALR4DOADYO
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAzlX7VcYpTV
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!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAZxBAL6ye3G
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAsdU7cVt8jX
Goku's tone was harsh.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAc0KwyAXztK
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA5PPnrjbG0x
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANApauOPLF6ka
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA5546I4tdrR
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAYXHqeF6zap
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAgHNdavyKaZ
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAn5XC1l9osm
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAzhm4SYst0Z
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXfu7ZUXjhh
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.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAViXoepI28g
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA7HaO0uCOwR
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAnRi8rqN2Cj
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAMNSCUg1IXX
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAEgn8MoYxZh
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.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANALn8evFkMLw
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAw46lLyrwNI
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANASeXj1zds5t
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAITv0C1vmbu
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAvpIeKhO1o2
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAXENVmwwkQA
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
59Please respect copyright.PENANADE5zcksPzY
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAAgqmUwBBxd
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA5YhtOVr2zx
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAjm8aBeJU2H
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAGjCz6vdxvH
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAuvgZ0L18cR
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAkmiMbhG7oI
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA1m2wnSeDrt
Goku: “A finisher?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANALyDrTBjuhc
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAMuEfTDP97B
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAoqSKzURBy3
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
59Please respect copyright.PENANABwzZPgMrzX
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAr7cjKjgxMV
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAcVuOJKlRBQ
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAHS0Bjjoth6
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
59Please respect copyright.PENANArXWMGbbHHP
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAQpXrqK8OhQ
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAIxrA5tQ7T6
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAGM87O6bjxU
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAJycfEPUV7P
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.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANANmSRVYJgH4
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAqbWyLNcBm8
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ6qS2zeYg
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA3kWvUeYRaV
Krillin: “Me too!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAmwGo55NqBz
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANARgpYf0Qzp6
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAm3tcIDToAc
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAu4oU4A7Rva
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAsiFgR22WaN
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAHhUOis6CfW
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
59Please respect copyright.PENANACtXlfBYQZt
He looked around for his friend.
59Please respect copyright.PENANABcDzSqOSnK

59Please respect copyright.PENANA8UQZc4gDpf
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA9QZpkEHGf3
Vegeta: “Did you?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA0M2PEo0gIO
Goku: “He's done.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANA5jqoey2kHz
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAnHz4OsY3S9
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.
59Please respect copyright.PENANAzpfGxTr93s
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.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAns31yUCo0F

59Please respect copyright.PENANAOmSF9P2J7J

59Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ajf2DyclS
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
59Please respect copyright.PENANAAAXiJgAlz1
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.”
59Please respect copyright.PENANArtORcn2Kwk
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
59Please respect copyright.PENANA0rnzECLvjR

59Please respect copyright.PENANAr1mfE31DSw
