Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANA81s1OTH5oN
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAbncxNg6EpH
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANABK3F6gx5NL
Goku smirked.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAvC1ZMpULhE
Goku: “Bring it!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAlgsfqLu2Mh
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAztWCFXjpBM
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAsee3Xq1G9h
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAjf21IF2XM3
Amaterazu: “What!?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5K7fwFNzW
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAoEKfTyDNjz
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANA5u7T0oCAOC
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAeJsqNB51pP
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAsPtqOeh3sJ
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
29Please respect copyright.PENANADRW61azpga
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANA1CQvvmY7jG
Goku: “I'm better!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAllm8OdfVY8
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
29Please respect copyright.PENANA7gpq7C9oWU
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAA7u43g1hJz
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAnWm3d1Yqfp
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAj5kysRcipi
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAQLHGgOndKx
Krillin landed next to the prince.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAlYRj30jwXd
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAigyO4kwC4N
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAzJit50jCK8
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAOVTGwSOy8l
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!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAoiwlLZMjVa
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.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAkTuyJWzKC7
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAU49DBajTmg
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAngMIYowN7v
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAAcuqVfRAF1
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAZH2CIZAjte
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAkNyU2fsg6t
Amaterazu: “This again?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAWU17gHyNzg
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
29Please respect copyright.PENANA8QACxfLLGj
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
29Please respect copyright.PENANACV5CyvT9Gq
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAToMADPsaal
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAqGNkKKC0Bm
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAl9yqU8AH4D
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAqq7A8YNMAO
29Please respect copyright.PENANAcgUj3VeRCo
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAp7oG0X0rno
Goku: “Take this!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAB900D1FBxZ
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAm5zde0oBlA
“Goku!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAqIY7KyB1KY
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAH6UvOItHKS
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!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZLtaKGdTE
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAYvaizlX4rV
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!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAPun3YEYbVE
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAPW8Qj9roYz
Goku's tone was harsh.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAtxGWpIVPN8
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAno6hngivll
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAYsvTODVyE5
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANA6eOhdBZ88y
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAzn4Xo6BYrh
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANA2V3D9R0slG
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAke6g5KqSBN
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAKoEeHppdHd
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
29Please respect copyright.PENANA2rZt4hccpA
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.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAcFYVbglkBw
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANALqkZc91IUg
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAQlsteCRJn3
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANA3x9c91fxvf
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAqviWslgrto
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.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANA3fQjLycYGb
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAOsYl35GLdK
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAu4arPJV6Yr
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAQGkztjqmER
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
29Please respect copyright.PENANApPV8qrKMGB
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAn6r9zRlppZ
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAhFKj2R4hgC
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAT0UnB1Y6qk
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANACNZJYbVS3M
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAkPwXe34cSC
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAHAAgnSGo99
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANA3RBOgYZTo5
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAKpuNqpEITY
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAs9v24FohVH
Goku: “A finisher?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAQYBZMiKaSE
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANArHxOvyT0x2
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAhSEu9xAxcl
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAY4UPvxXLpt
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7YLUBf8Tp
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAY4I3ZZmBAh
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAiKzSrhJwwS
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
29Please respect copyright.PENANALPyh21Jhxh
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAvFyIwenjrV
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
29Please respect copyright.PENANA7cWDlhk3Dv
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAIX8XaJC8ln
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANACYbsmPHi45
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.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAF0nqrPz0iK
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAaWvUc3d73D
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANA5cVkwDLIYy
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANA2N8Q7AbMtb
Krillin: “Me too!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAiluVItse9S
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAzfeGDO1wdX
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAUUlstU29MD
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANA5bq3PGiI0i
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAd7FcKxyuIF
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAEMRmHfg5m9
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
29Please respect copyright.PENANArOLc2w9Qbn

29Please respect copyright.PENANAcVqW9OhcRp
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAfEUGCnN44G
Goku: “He's done.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAkLoNWNFHWe
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAv4NUucYvM6
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.
29Please respect copyright.PENANAju7nwTUKmy
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.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAjMO5jOZpn7

29Please respect copyright.PENANAer5vZplvPU

29Please respect copyright.PENANAyJv8XMrcKD
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAEj9huGZIIN
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.”
29Please respect copyright.PENANAfryySPo3aj
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
