DBZ Characters being lightspeed and whatnot.
About this, as I've heard on other forums and such, I want to know if they're actually able to travel at lightspeed. Other than that, I've seen how they fight, I'm talking DBZ here, and their reflexes or how fast they fight could be considered lightspeed, but there's no real proof to tell us this. So, dicsuss.

Short answer. No they can't travel at light speed. Unless you count IT but only a handful of people can teleport.
So far, that's about it. I've been hearing claims that they can without solid proof, other than using Piccolo's statement that Raditz is faster than the speed of light, which is a dub error.

About that, wouldn't going around the world that fast also wast most of his energy, and also lessen how long the fusion would last?
Goku did fly from one side of the planet namek to the other in an unspecified period of time since he diisaperas in one frame is shown flying in the netx then hes landed where frieza is about to finnish of vegeta..id say it took him about 1.2 seconds or something...
..plus the gotenks feat is ****ed up in the aniem u see gotensk go round the world 7-8 times in a few seconds, then he flys of to buus house an dpiccolo says hes only got a few minutes left =/..
...Gokus instant translocation too, stated to be lightspeed but goku has traversed distances that wud take years even traveling at lightspeed, in seconds...
..s for combat speed, i cant imagine anyone beating DBZers not even speedsters liek flash...

I already explained this to you. No distance or time was ever specified, in fact he said "it's not that far" before he left. Stop making up numbers.

Yet you can see the earth visibly rotating in the anime in that scene, scaling it it means it took around 5 - 6 hours. Of course this is impossible as the fusion doesn't last that long. That's one of the reasons why the manga should be used instead - the anime is full of inconsistencies like that.

Only stated to be lightspeed in the American dub. It's actually instant teleportation, like the name says. Not actual speed, though.

Then you must have a very poor imagination.
Are you sure about that, I remember specifically reading that within the official DBZ Japanese Manga as well.
Well you didn't.

And I specifically saw something otherwise in the Translated English Manga as well.
Oh, and btw, it seems that Mangafox is updating Dragon Ball from the start by going with the redone version. 🙂
Goku was going light speed after the raditz fight. I'm going to say it like this, goku was training pan as a child (think she was 4) and he asked her to fly around the earth which she did but she did it at 2 minutes and goku said that that was too slow, so he basically wanted her to go around the earth in some seconds.
If two minutes is to slow for goku and it took pan at the age of 4 to fly around the earth in two minutes, how fast do you think a more powerful pan that was fighting after the z saga could have went around the planet, I'll like to say seconds, hell maybe milliseconds.
As for the combat speed feat, I agree, there is basically no comic book character that can perform combat speed like goku. When it come to combat speed, dragonball characters is the best. Hell goku during the regular dragonball series was doing things with his speed that I have yet to witness characters in dc OR marvel perform.
Carver...how does anything to do with Pan = Gokou being ftl during Saiyan Saga? And if Goten and Trunks are any indication Pan could probably beat anybody from the Freeza saga since she's actually had traning while Goten and Trunks were powerful without ever any real training.
And where does it say how long it took or Gokou saying it was to slow? She appears said she flew around the world, and Gokou rubs her head saying that was quick. In the VIZ translation is never states how long it took nor does Gokou say it was slow. Just that she flew around the world and Gokou comments her on how fast it was.

Goku said two minutes and he said that it was too slow and gotenks and trunks was born as super sayains so of course they have the ability to go around the planet far less then 2 minutes.
Goten never went ssj until he was seven. He wasn't born ssj. Same with Trunks though we don't know the first time he did it unlike Goten.
And where did Gokou say the time? Or that it was slow? When Pan lands he pats her head saying it was fast but no time was stated.
There is also the fact Pan isn't = Gotenks which she'd have to be to go around the planet in two minutes. If you believe Gotenks bragging at that instead of what was actually shown.

I would say that the most powerful fighters travel in relativistic velocities (close to light), about 99% or so. The instant transmission is instantaneous, it's basically moving from one time in space to another without having to pass through the 3rd dimension.
