Even if I were to agree, Piccolo's old ship still travels upward of 20c (more likely 40-60c), and there's no reason to believe U11 is behind ancient U7 technologically. If anything, it appears to be the opposite.

Regardless of the type of space-vessel the Pride Troopers use, they still MUST be astronomically FTL if they are covering galactic++ distances in [seemingly] short periods of time... Remember, these guys protect their entire universe.

For example, even if their ships were 'only' capable of flying 200x c, it'd still take them roughly 500 years just to travel across a galaxy the size of the Milky Way. Since the Pride Troopers are evidently very effective in their universal protection, something tells me it isn't taking them hundredS/thousandS of years to get from planet-to-planet.

Not trying to speed-wank here, but Jiren being able to fly faster than said ships honestly IS pretty damned uber, imo. I really can't see why he wouldn't be vastly FTL based on that alone..? /shrug

Well, that 200c ship took Goku across U7 to get from Earth to Namek in 6 days, even though that wouldn't even get you to the nearest Solar System in real life, so... I wouldn't fuss over the specifics too much, personally; a little suspension of disbelief needs to be applied here. Just like with Hit and his "0.1 second" time skip, yeah?

Thinking about it, UI Goku's final attack wasn't really "that" impressive.

He pretty much did the same thing Roshi did, and caused about the same amount of damage. When you consider Kefla was said to be strong enough to cut Goku in half with a stay bolt, and he hit her head on with his best shot, it's pretty obvious even UI was far less powerful than Kales current level.

It's not impossible the Dragon Ball universes are the "pocket" variety either.

Seeing Dragon Ball was conceived from Journey to the West, with it's entire cosmos fitting well within a solar system..

That was back when the entire DBU was only comprised of four fuggin galaxies, though.

The current/retconned cosmology tells us there are now "countless" galaxies within the universe -- and Jaco even used the Milky Way as a reference point(which implies that the galaxies/universes of nowadays are meant to [at least loosely] mimic 'real' galaxies/universes.) Imho.

Anywho, I'm not quite prepared to handwave away the notion that Jiren's flight speed is FTL... Not yet, at least. /shrug

It doesn't matter. A ship flying at that speed would still take hundreds of years to cross the milky way galaxy IRL.

???

Jiren is definitely massively faster than light.

At best, in terms of straight line travel speed.

All of Dragon Ball's got nothing that compares to even sub light Kid Flash.

We're talking feats here where an effect slows down so much, days and nights pass in seconds to the target relative to the outside world, yet the the hero keeps ramping it up until he's moving normally (Or slightly faster.)

Compared to something like that, Dragon Ball isn't quite there yet. 😉

Dypso is FTL and he couldn't even detect Goku movements. Stop lowballing CDTM, you're better than that (hahahahahahahaha).

Dyspo's max movement speed >>> Dyspo's reaction speed

Where did you get that from?

Dyspo is still the fastest as far as top speed goes. His combat speed is a different story. His speed ability is top notch, it's already there, he should learn to utilize it in combat.

So everything is back to normal after Vegeta sees UI for second time he loses his im the most badass saiyan attitude and becomes his old self again.

Guess fanboys gonna cry after all the Vegeta has a secret power thing...

Now watch him try to master UI and fail while Goku will learn to attack while in the state and becomes more powerful then Jiren.

Guess Dragon Ball will never change...

Was hoping Goku would use UI and vegeta would have that SSB form that doesnt leak ki.

Nah.

Show should be called Goku and some other dudes who dont ever do shit.

My expectations for Vegeta and others on the team have been lowered, tho hoping the ol’ prince will pull through with something at some point.

Also, R.I.P. Bulma’s Japanese VA.

Vegeta will pull some "damn you Kakarot for always being better then me" while Krillin will go like "Goku has always been the best."..

Even the fight between Toppo and Vegeta has "stopped" for no reason.....I bet they just forgot that they were battling an episode ago...

Toriyama was like who gives a shit about Vegeta lets watch some Goku vs Kefla instead....haermm

Considering how it ended I'm 100% okay that Vegeta gets ignored.
