Amaterazu: “You're just like the other one, refusing to go down as if you didn't deserve your punishment.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAjTuUzeb2C7
The fire God elevated himself, meeting face to face with Goku.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKQimyYxDqt
Amaterazu: “Shall we commence round 3?”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAVacFc602Ir
Goku smirked.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAv7ZSkFd1ba
Goku: “Bring it!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAIq6gBseUHd
Goku threw a punch to start the battle. Amaterazu blocked it with his shield. The flames of the shield burned Goku's skin.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAxUJUBMrzNk
Amaterazu: “You'll disintegrate your flesh before you could even hope to make a dent on my shield.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAFx7jb643o3
Goku tensed up his face from the sting of the burns and kept digging his fist into the shield.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAn6qIRF43Di
Amaterazu: “What!?”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAgUeJ7RTRWO
Goku: “Haaaaa!!!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8xbjmkNEDT
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAoGQrNrBN06
Amaterazu: “Another desperate attempt, it will cost you just like the other one.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMobHsWL3WG
Goku: “I'm not like him.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANApNpunMBVgH
Amaterazu: If it helps you feel better.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAFMtWcAxbRh
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKpe3b2O8Q8
Goku: “I'm better!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAe5Hwm8TYf2
His fists and legs wrapped themselves in a red aura.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA285qfGnGft
Goku: “Dragon smash!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8rwCyK7sYZ
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAkcBOYyek9l
Amaterazu: “H-How did you?”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAeif4cK5fGQ
Vegeta: “Kakarot actually has the edge?”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAuyzdwU38ku
Krillin landed next to the prince.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA1IQ71kdDda
Krillin: “Any idea what's going on? Vegeta?”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAGp5juSdppJ
Vegeta: “No clue, but that look he's taken on is starting to resemble a certain someone, and that makes me feel uneasy.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANALmeSdE8q4n
Amaterazu grew his limbs back.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA5n5lQh1nzI
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!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAA5hyTXgLhu
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.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAAiEgL28orV
Amaterazu: “What's wrong? Did you change your mind last second?”
162Please respect copyright.PENANA1aKW2Zcfiy
Goku: “There has to be a flaw, until I nurture myself into such perfection, a perfect warrior will never exist!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAezldec7iV3
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8dlzfPRYcM
Amaterazu: “One moment too late and your head would have come clean off.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAGpe7SZEuva
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAJQuvPJR9YM
Amaterazu: “This again?”
162Please respect copyright.PENANABk9ALMrXHw
Amaterazu noticed an army of Gokus surrounding him.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAQL34KZmfuV
Amaterazu: “This trick won't work twice! I can sense your ki perfectly, the real one-”
162Please respect copyright.PENANA9r928vPUxl
Amaterazu paused, coming to a worrisome realization.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA4nmYMuNQp1
Amaterazu: “I sense his ki in all of them!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANALWTQTKvQxp
Krillin: “No way! Goku copied his ki signature into his after images! That level of deception is beyond anything I've ever seen!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANARL39VBWKF0
Vegeta: “It's as though his fighting prowess has increased even further. He's not just evolving physically but mentally as well!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAsSgCkH9dH0
162Please respect copyright.PENANAvSEoB0iXR4
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAk0C0Iqlqte
Goku: “Take this!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANA63SMi1Wenm
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqBxjrwuGEA
“Goku!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAeOuVMXG5CB
Goku: “King Kai? I'm kind of busy right now.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAr7mdeEt5Tt
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!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANADknTegia0w
Goku: “I can figure something out.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAhwk5qdzupM
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!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAFF9xNMjG46
Goku: “I appreciate the help, but from here on out, I'll do the rest on my own. Don't intervene.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAezXEafLK8k
Goku's tone was harsh.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAdm6FSuGQYg
King Kai: “I'd never thought you of all people would speak to me like that!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANARApVg7lNgW
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAPdN68yQ2KX
Goku: “Kamehameha!!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANA9BDcqmM0wR
In one swift blow, the saiyan warrior disposed of the clone.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAboBEfMkUSK
Goku: “Just as I suspected, they're not as powerful as the original.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAHGVKFxx7b1
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAebaHZfW4SM
Amaterazu: “I feel your body breaking, you're not as tough as the last one, you'll fall just like him.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAo74ZMTC2eQ
Goku chuckled. Blood ran down his lips and face.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAT3WeBrd6rI
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.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANA3F3nHwnO2Q
Amaterazu: “Silence!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAmUI9RhW7jF
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAkQ5dhLND9J
Goku: “This one didn't even bother regenerating. You're running out of energy, Amaterazu!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAFMzDENONk9
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8kXIeUYHYG
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.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANADVS7yCAg5D
Amaterazu: “The strength I have now is more than enough to defeat you!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAm2w7KCc9TX
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA8VrTgc1Gki
Vegeta: “I've never seen Kakarot fight so…violently, like this before.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAnQynvLlIIF
Amaterazu caught his balance and headed straight for Goku, closing the distance in mere moments. Their fists clashed, creating a massive crater around themselves.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAk7af7oASOR
Goku: “You're growing weaker with each blow while I'm continuing to adapt to everything you throw at me.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAA6FAD3eZnG
Goku went for a punch, only for it to be blocked by Amaterazu's forearm.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA1lW9E9siW8
Goku: “It's over, Amaterazu, your situation will only get worse from here on out!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANA5ISM89Fft4
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA7vUAmMejK2
Krillin: “He's wearing down!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAsGQylmsxh4
Vegeta: “Kakarot is somehow reversing the process! Amaterazu is… weakening, but it's strange, I haven't felt a change in his ki.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAsmKrFHH2l6
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANALpNsmifJBC
Goku: “The outcome is inevitable! You're going to fall!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAVHDwjYegw0
Amaterazu: “No! You all have your flashy finishers, it's time I revealed mine!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAUx0MOgyoim
Goku: “A finisher?”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAHE4iGA0V7A
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKVB6qO8m6f
Goku: “This is it, here's where we end this! Give me your best! Amaterazu!!!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANA4uRpYqab0n
Amaterazu’s voice echoed across the planet.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAkYNV2X7RXD
Amaterazu: “Divine Phoenix Arrow!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANArNn91eJnMr
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAvnMLoHswYi
Goku: “Damn it! I didn't expect this.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANA52pDTbAAtD
He clenched his fists, shifting his mood from concern into excitement.
162Please respect copyright.PENANArcF2dZgkeV
Goku: “This is what it comes to? Fine! I wouldn't have it any other way! Kaaaaa! Meeeee! Haaaaa! Meeeee!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAXvKKVA6AuJ
Goku braced himself for the incoming arrow.
162Please respect copyright.PENANASPC2GqDcRf
Goku: “Haaaaa!!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAGOESZqhbn6
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAt9NQWRNeqg
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.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAMNwhQP0vid
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAkzpBQZpIDk
Goku: “Divine ki flows perfectly with this form.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANARsMNrmls7I
Vegeta: “I'm not listening to Kakarot's foolish desires anymore, I'm stepping in!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAGTPoEX8FB3
Krillin: “Me too!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAoGxRhygbqi
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAtyx5UcgVZB
Vegeta: “What is he doing!?”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAi7yLAKHedd
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAqhAZ02MJBO
Goku: “Haaaaaa!!!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAE1dA1mvixt
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA7PivzSzBvQ
Vegeta: “Kakarot!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAuOqmpoZ5hq

162Please respect copyright.PENANA88eR8NJ8AU

162Please respect copyright.PENANAClP5FM0TfE
Goku appeared to his left. He was visibly injured and had burn marks around his entire body.

Vegeta: “Did you?”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAdiptBKzzal
Goku: “He's done.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANA5VBNEKqI0f
Vegeta: “I don't really understand, how did you do it?”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAslxpqmFeph
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.
162Please respect copyright.PENANA3ddi6bbuM4
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.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAKMwF4XjtnJ
Goku: “On the contrary, I feel better than ever. You don't have to worry about me anymore, Vegeta.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAEw2KFjjV1V
Vegeta: “Right.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAIwD6BsFGZe
Amaterazu twitched, he attempted to stand once more, but his legs failed him and he collapsed.

162Please respect copyright.PENANAvD49J7FGrf

162Please respect copyright.PENANA7rUXgaaaud
Amaterazu: “I can't.. go out like this! I must avenge-”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAXWT3v2RcjC
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.”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAr8sbt64qrD
Amaterazu desperately tried to use his wings to get up, but they melted away, causing him to fall again.
162Please respect copyright.PENANAGHAMheBPmT

Goku: “This isn't over yet!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANAuvJ4iuZ23R
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.

162Please respect copyright.PENANAsq0u30fP3x
Goku: “No, this IS me! I've never felt so free and relaxed like right now. He was right all along, my connections and values were holding me back, hindering my sanity. This is who I am, Vegeta. A warrior! The greatest warrior that ever lived, Son Goku!”
162Please respect copyright.PENANANg0Jh8Vi5l
