Since lightning is slower than light, that means that, at that point, Goku had yet to be able to move as fast as light. So if you believe that Popo's statement was literal, and not just metaphorical, then he wasn't capable of light speed in Dragon Ball.Lord Gogeta wrote:@DarkPrince
Is stated you have to be as fast as lightning, saying is metaphorical is pure especulation. Also saying snake way isn't PIS is wrong, since even Roshi displayed better speed VS Krillin. Tao showed better speed as well with the pillar ,etc. So that does not count . and Goku has LS reaction at least in Dragonball has shown several times. Then is implied Lightspeed is slow for him in 23rd Budokai.
So nah I disagree , you're entitled to your opinion, but Z fighters have been ftl at End of Dragonball and Saiyan Saga. Feats and statements proves it. BTW lightning can go as 1/3 of light, so relativistic. And Goku did surpassed lightning, so it doesn't contradict anything.
That was just kid Goku way before 23rd Budokai. After that he surpassed lightning and even Light at the end. The Popo training is not at the end of the manga, if I recall is even before 22nd Budokai, where he does a LS feat.
There are too many indication that he surpassed light via feats. Whether is in the middle is debatable. But at the end is stated light is slow for him and Kami who can oversee the planet from his Temple can't even see Goku and Picolo fight.
Raditz Dodging an ftl/lightspeed beam ,closed the case
