Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANACdmOJHXACH
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAPg3Utdnx7j
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAcJ5q6Pqld0
Goku smirked.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAkY4iSUeLuk
Goku: “Bring it!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAcslZukTiLb
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAMhfAovKan2
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAe08kjk0Slg
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAx6gsXLhuYd
Amaterazu: “What!?”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAi80GFM2wRg
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAM4oBFyqCi7
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAGcda54kuhf
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAG2VW1SKFEo
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAA1KKgOSY2T
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAYLISRYJ6jG
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANABWltnZ67ci
Goku: “I'm better!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANABU3ebRxLWN
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAnoXcdwb8jG
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANA4NQ2Qgj7WU
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAynQRRPa2dX
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
60Please respect copyright.PENANA63mJRD2q3d
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
60Please respect copyright.PENANApG3svTosSj
Krillin landed next to the prince.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAVVqPAVXQl2
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
60Please respect copyright.PENANArzb5T6rH8E
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANACIR0CvhcO2
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
60Please respect copyright.PENANARB23xTITzT
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!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANARZS4qqt8TF
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.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAmDHnwq2mag
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAF9BuNtYa6e
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAL8m8MSJ0EB
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAY1r9gwYJch
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAnfmvV73zYk
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAWY6mr6zQ6i
Amaterazu: “This again?”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAwRGE4E4Z6l
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ10G59kqV
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAPyllJP8f2n
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAUmo92gijPL
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAczen5NjPKN
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAhS4qDN59zY
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANA4BEcpQTMwi
60Please respect copyright.PENANARdsT1tEkeL
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAKTwcE39kzF
Goku: “Take this!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAb6W6JfWWTs
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAuSeIMUjKHZ
“Goku!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAqL0MUe8rv1
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANA4P92tm3nm9
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!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANA2YN39TeapC
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANA7ju7HwgWtv
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!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAk9xDQZSOfA
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAjvhAbgWd4c
Goku's tone was harsh.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAiw8pYK8p6Y
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAIrufLIcwPf
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAkXgskSZOMD
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANANlkXXT2CdG
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAvbJaH3Nxkv
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAjVge3UyjL5
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANA6ug9Ud9o1H
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANASreAKfChpN
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
60Please respect copyright.PENANArYCiPl9Net
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.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5tiRxGEB2
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAgQXBDDyhPw
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAG0kcGD2fJl
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANA8IQbIuBVLP
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAl9WoyjKqiX
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.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANACIb7vZ6bvC
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAadsaqX6c5e
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAKIO2J53O1n
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANADfECoTdSgC
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
60Please respect copyright.PENANADLLr9m10Ul
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAGfwpASIoLQ
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAw4j4RLuqYp
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAm1R9xOxsMK
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAGs0D60P9l4
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAnmNxXaOyJQ
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAECPiws4ale
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAnvaVF1KWjY
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAlLq0NEW1nk
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAp1ZSZ2cQGM
Goku: “A finisher?”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAigr5txCPEr
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAgKFOKzgNyy
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANANlq6ij9lXu
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
60Please respect copyright.PENANATPcUqetyqm
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANASUhgoHINTt
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAr1RRUtjByR
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAUrURnVmRmp
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAcVNGd5VAtt
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAlZkDVNjmpm
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAxyTZ45jQXl
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAzGqNSWT6ON
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAFspRNt9Fhe
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.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAg1E9bfnNpi
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAW3ooXl85W0
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANA2i5a3bt74k
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAKSID6WpRar
Krillin: “Me too!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAVwvYypiCi7
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANADGgYxCuAyW
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
60Please respect copyright.PENANABjKt5Jro0z
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAmLMrXiiMr6
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAv1O3dcd7Go
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAm2PXV8y5lD
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”

60Please respect copyright.PENANAMD1RK026hv
Goku: “He's done.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANA4aVcdmG4O5
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAZetDpgX5W8
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.
60Please respect copyright.PENANAlV0hAM0ZRq
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.”
60Please respect copyright.PENANANCN9GPtdMw

Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
60Please respect copyright.PENANAQAOtdYRQNZ
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.”

Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
