Chereads / Anime Arena: clash of the strongest / Chapter 6 - Saitama vs Goku

Chapter 6 - Saitama vs Goku

Absolutely, let's slow down the fight scenes, add more impact to each phase, and build the intensity to the point where Saitama is actually forced to get serious, leading Goku to activate Ultra Instinct. Here's the extended version:

---

The rocky wasteland is silent as Goku and Saitama stand a few paces apart, sizing each other up.

Goku: "So… you're the hero who can beat anyone with one punch? That's pretty impressive."

Saitama: shrugs "I guess. It's kinda a problem, actually. Fights end too fast… gets boring."

Goku: grins, intrigued "Well, maybe today will be different. I've been looking for someone strong."

Saitama: raising an eyebrow "You? Strong? You don't look like much. Just another martial artist type?"

Goku: "Don't worry about me! You'll see soon enough." He stretches, his gaze focused.

Saitama: "Alright, just… don't take it personally if I knock you out right away. It happens."

They both get into their stances. Goku's expression sharpens, while Saitama remains nonchalant.

Goku darts forward in his base form, throwing a fast punch that Saitama easily dodges, hands still in his pockets. Goku's smile grows wider as he increases the speed and power of his punches, each one slicing through the air.

Goku: "Not bad. You're keeping up."

Saitama: yawning "If this is you being 'strong,' then I might fall asleep."

Goku grins and launches a full-speed roundhouse kick that Saitama blocks with a single finger.

Goku: "You bet there's more. Try this!" With a burst of energy, Goku transforms into Super Saiyan, letting out a fierce scream. His hair blazes golden, and his aura flares, sending shockwaves across the ground.

Saitama: blinking, covering his ears "What's with the screaming? Does it make you stronger or something?"

Goku: grins "It's part of the process. You'll see."

Goku, now in Super Saiyan form, charges forward, his fists moving faster and hitting harder. Saitama blocks and dodges with casual ease, though he has to start moving a bit quicker to keep up.

Saitama: "You're getting better, but you're still not there yet."

Goku's strikes cause the ground to shatter beneath them, their movements leaving craters in their wake. Saitama is still unfazed, but he's visibly more engaged.

Goku: "Alright, let's step this up!"

With another deep breath, Goku releases a mighty roar and powers up to Super Saiyan Blue, his aura becoming a brilliant blue blaze.

Saitama: rolling his eyes "More screaming, huh? Is that really necessary?"

Goku: smiling, eyes focused "Trust me, you'll feel this one."

In Super Saiyan Blue, Goku's speed and power are elevated to the extreme. He launches a powerful series of punches and kicks, each one reverberating through the air, faster and harder than before. For the first time, Saitama actually has to block the blows with his full attention.

Saitama: nodding, a hint of respect in his eyes "Alright, I'll admit—you're starting to hit pretty hard."

Goku smirks and throws a punch that Saitama catches, the shockwave from the impact splitting the ground. Saitama's expression shifts, finally showing the slightest hint of effort as he counters with a punch that sends Goku sliding back.

Goku: wiping a bit of sweat from his forehead "You're not bad… but let's see if you can handle this."

They charge at each other, their punches colliding in midair, causing massive ripples that warp the sky and landscape around them. Reality itself seems to bend under the sheer force of their blows.

Saitama: "Guess I can't hold back forever." He straightens, a serious glint in his eyes as he takes up a real fighting stance.

Goku: grinning "I was hoping you'd say that!"

With a roar, Goku powers up to Super Saiyan God, his aura turning a fiery red. He lunges forward, and this time, his attacks start pushing Saitama back, forcing him to block more aggressively.

Saitama: dodging a powerful kick "Alright… you're actually starting to make me work."

Goku follows up with a barrage of punches, each one reverberating through the air with seismic force. For the first time, Saitama's clothes are visibly tattered from the energy of Goku's attacks.

Saitama: grins, wiping a bit of dust from his shoulder "Now you're talking. Let's make this interesting."

Saitama counters with a punch that sends Goku flying back, but Goku flips mid-air, landing on his feet and charging back in with renewed determination. Their fists collide repeatedly, each impact sending shockwaves that ripple through the ground and sky.

Realizing that Saitama's strength is still keeping up, Goku closes his eyes, calming his breath. Without a scream, his aura shifts to a calm, silver glow as he enters Ultra Instinct. The battlefield falls silent, his movements now fluid and instinctive.

Saitama: noticing the change "Oh, finally—no more screaming? I was starting to get used to it."

Goku: smiling calmly "This is Ultra Instinct. My body moves on its own now, faster than thought."

Goku moves like a phantom, dodging Saitama's punches effortlessly and countering with precise strikes that Saitama can barely block in time. For the first time, Saitama's expression shifts to genuine surprise as Goku's attacks land one after another, forcing him back.

Saitama: "Alright… looks like I'll need to get a little more serious."

But even as Saitama ramps up his speed and power, Goku's Ultra Instinct keeps him one step ahead, his movements almost impossible to track. The battlefield erupts with their exchanges, punches and kicks creating rifts in the air and sending ripples through time and space itself.

Saitama's clothes are now shredded, and he's breathing hard, realizing that he's finally up against an opponent he can't quite keep up with.

As the battle reaches its climax in a barren, desolate solar system, Goku and Saitama exchange fierce blows on a lifeless planet, craters forming around them with each strike.

Saitama: gritting his teeth, frustrated for the first time "You… you're something else. I haven't met anyone like you."

Goku: calmly, in Ultra Instinct, dodging effortlessly "I told you. You're strong, but strength alone isn't everything."

Saitama goes in for another serious punch, the force powerful enough to shatter a moon in the distance. But Goku, now completely in sync with Ultra Instinct, catches Saitama's punch effortlessly. He pulls on Saitama's arm, spinning him around in midair.

Goku: smirking "Let's go for a little ride."

In one fluid motion, Goku grabs the end of Saitama's cape, swings him in a wide arc, and slams him into the planet's surface, causing the entire ground to crack and tremble. Before Saitama can react, Goku lifts him by the cape again, spinning him with overwhelming speed, and hurls him straight into the atmosphere.

Saitama crashes through the planet's crust, shattering the barren landscape. Without pause, Goku teleports to catch up and grabs Saitama again, swinging him around by his cape once more, slamming him through two more lifeless planets. The shockwaves ripple through the empty solar system, each impact sending fragments of rock scattering into the void.

Finally, as they float in space, surrounded by planetary debris, Goku watches as Saitama pulls himself back together, visibly battered, his usual calm shaken. He's breathing heavily, humbled, his clothes nearly destroyed.

Saitama: stunned, muttering "I… I actually couldn't keep up…"

Goku: calmly, with a respectful tone "Sometimes there's more to a fight than raw power, Saitama. You're one of the strongest I've met, but there's still more you could learn."

With one final nod, Goku raises his hand in a gesture of respect and powers down from Ultra Instinct, his aura fading as he reverts to his normal form. He floats back toward Saitama, who stares back, humbled yet slightly inspired.

Saitama: half-smiling, acknowledging his defeat "Alright, guess I'll have to keep training then… maybe work on a new technique or two."

Goku: grins "I'd look forward to that rematch. Just… maybe next time, let's keep it quieter."

They both share a laugh, floating among the debris of planets and moons they've destroyed, as they drift back toward the vastness of space.

The two part ways, with Saitama carrying a newfound respect for Goku's skills and Goku knowing he's met a worthy challenger. In the silent void of the desolate solar system, they each carry their own sense of purpose, awaiting a day when they might clash again.
