Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAv4NGnac4jH
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAUcKmGnU8DM
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAcXj2KjCZIq
Goku smirked.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAWCvQ2IQa9o
Goku: “Bring it!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAtEAiPpGQAP
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAC1VK4o3ht1
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAhgKMcYVT9A
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAzx0tUMc7mn
Amaterazu: “What!?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAIOtvI11X6L
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA14vQIVa829
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAjOjaVeTROU
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANATCb0C8MSRJ
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANADla7UnsKle
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAQlYnm5jUTf
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA9hC21mCA3x
Goku: “I'm better!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAkKy7VAntcr
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAuhHJnyuENZ
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAZDuACd1OW9
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAMvJr7RDKFb
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAHO4rmXWOiu
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAaNQWSA8mFu
Krillin landed next to the prince.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAvB0UFJKBtp
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA30paeCQftH
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAsGDyNo2IqT
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAvR2pTqgw7z
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!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAZI9HenxEaC
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.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAcrq5HWiU8h
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANArfJUSWhor9
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAWrpl24aDLe
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAVJhzjv2ozH
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA9Q1iHoyW1J
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAEICaGJGALJ
Amaterazu: “This again?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAUKZGCOc2vw
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA66nekt3vRu
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAifUPtPYXvo
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
30Please respect copyright.PENANASGNDQqQV9L
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAVhlpky6hax
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAYPJTdbu3OA
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAxtJZhAD2tD
30Please respect copyright.PENANAzQePGWrJja
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAvrO8NMP9ab
Goku: “Take this!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAKcCJeISeRM
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAtqfuJo96mF
“Goku!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAIIK6T3VebI
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAe69P8GR6pE
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!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAeIw6n9UoRs
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAKZgtvA6WZG
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!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANADRpKKwPsBi
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAmxJrmKaClq
Goku's tone was harsh.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAGGPO9Nmh9E
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAxM7YFQJwU0
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANART9wdDV9s2
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAflENwA5tq2
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
30Please respect copyright.PENANArYN6ghGXaI
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAteg9Uz4HPs
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANARdtJhJyjyV
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAvSCfimOowX
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAEyMle5yYd1
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.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAQeO6WS8ihJ
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANASLB0vlXYYz
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAP0O9HVN88p
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANATTVq61z7sG
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANACNXeQCJutB
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.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANATi72AcihZZ
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANATFrgmGoNia
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAnSR3NjsY5y
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAfXzFMtbBmC
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAj9PK7mryKA
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAGiiPEyhc71
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAc8SoIVuA6Y
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAdJaUs66cFN
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAhi2ZKEwe1B
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAdns53LRg7F
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAgn6ecSS2Zf
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAqgngzQcb9Z
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANArD4P9f0dLE
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA9xSvd4d4gi
Goku: “A finisher?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAb6mI19c7DP
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAlcsUZvvrla
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANADAykEKQ0DT
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAKQq8MgQEuM
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA4zB2wIu6Ym
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAdwrvhG7guy
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANADe7shNbAP4
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0hQueGda3
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ab8G91Uab
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAG51eqHs6Hw
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAmFO10c6QKw
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA5LQg2qx2w4
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.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANABeHEMMIlG3
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANALG6MGYvCci
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAWZCOTqgMYS
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAnf6mJmclSe
Krillin: “Me too!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAhKkkqsVlVx
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANABBVTNYDvMH
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAL9bvojy8gd
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA2sV8YTKEC7
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAtmSMRKQspy
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANA4Kmnxzmjr1
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAttJVbrl1QB
He looked around for his friend.

30Please respect copyright.PENANAzDNMIfmXsT
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAym9Ks7gY4f
Goku: “He's done.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANARq7XFzLPAw
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAG2GYUyStLZ
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.
30Please respect copyright.PENANALqLhL5XrsZ
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.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAHQxr5KUjIF

30Please respect copyright.PENANAnWDxbeoqpF

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

30Please respect copyright.PENANAWWCNqITfO4
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAxFOCGISqth
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.”
30Please respect copyright.PENANAcdQFWVOolC
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
30Please respect copyright.PENANAgFD9KREU1C
