Piccolo said he onlyhas a minute left before it ends.

Thereforce, it took over twenty minutes.


Faulty assumption you're making:[list]
[*]He did only fly around the world as many times as you could see on panel
[*]That his nap was under 9 minutes

1. We should assume it was more than we saw?

2. Point out the nap. We actually see him landing.

1. We shouldn't assume anything. He flew at least 5 times around the earth in orbits varying from 2/3 times to 2 times the circumference of the earth. You could say that he flew at least five times around the earth, but not that he flew exactly five times around the earth.

1. Afraid not, not going to assume it was anything much more.

2. Only we actually see him land.

Did he nap while flying?

1. Then you're a lier, interchanging facts with speculation. Next time you throw a "fact" based argument at me I'll be sure to ask for proof.

2. There's a reason for why there's a scene of the landscape before it shifts from landing to Piccolo arriving. It's called a time skip.

Guys, guys...

There's no way to prove either or.

He said he took a nap. He probably did.

He said he flew around the Earth a lot, he probably did and the Anime shows that he did do both.

The manga is canon and the anime doesn't contradict that. Therefore, we go with the anime cause it has something to go by.

But, let's not get ahead of ourselves here: Nemebro is correct in the argument because Astner did his math wrong. 313

haha, just kidding. I simplified a force calculation by crossing out the same value in the numerator and the denominator...but that happened to the be the acceleration constant, which is necessary in order to express the force calculation: twas an idiotic mistake. So, no biggie, right? Just be right 95% or more the time when you do the math and you're still smart. awesome

It's true and I'm ashamed of this.

Especially since I usually do calculations in rotating complex nth dimensional coordinate systems.

Just messing with you, bro. Did you see what type of stupid mistake I made in a force calculation? That's highschool shit, and I still simplified my fractions. 🙁

It happens.

Do Saiyin Space ships\Capsule Corp Ships travel faster than light?

No.

They travel galactic distances in like a month.

That is FTL travel.

Yup.

Yes..cause of what Nemebro said. 😄

Guys, Gotenks DEFINITELY took a nap after his nine-lap flight. In the anime, you clearly see him lie down on the ground in a resting position. The anime supplements the manga here.

As for Cooler, I thought King Cold mentioned something about Cooler or "another son". Maybe I'm imagining it...yeah...

You're imagining it. But, it's possible that you remember that from one of the movies.

Just want to give you an information, DBGT is considered the side story of original dragon ball series stated by Akira Toriyama himself. And in DBGT, we can see Cooler there. What do you think?

King Kai was able to track Goku's movement through space while he was on his way to Namik even though the ship was movin at FTL speeds. I also remember King Kai sayin' it was kinda hard to follow the ship cuz it was movin' so fast and he said somethin' else too, can't remember, but when Goku was fightin' Freeza, King Kai couldn't track Goku's movements anymore and noted that he had never encountered a speed like that in his long life. He said that.

I remember Burter also being said to have been faster than light and Goku was easily faster.

Piccolo also stated that when Goku and 50% Freeza where fightin', all he could see were beams light.

Now, what conclusions are the average viewer/reader to come to concernin' the speed for certain characters?

IIRC the spaceship is 300 times faster than light. If King Kai can't sense Goku's movement, then Goku's battle speed is much faster than that.

I would figure it'd be a lot harder to follow someone in a fight, moving around haphazardly in all kinds of directions, than in a strait line, which is after all, all the ship was doing. A strait line.

But if their battle speed is same with their travel speed (in this case, hypersonic which is nowhere near 300 times speed of light), then King Kai who can trace a 300 times lightspeed would trace it with no problem. Even though it's not as fast as 300 times lightspeed, it's still somewhere near 300 times lightspeed.
