And if Bill's could teleport like the Kaio shins or Goku, why did he travel in a ship?

We all know that the best speed feat in the manga belongs to Kid Goku anyway. 👆

SSJ Gotenks' world-circling feat would be up there, too.

Is it as fast as this? vin

Have we seen Beerus use a teleportation technique like the Instant Transmission?

Whis usually does the high-speed/long-distance flying for the both of them. Perhaps he had a hand in that feat..?

Notice that there are two positions with both of them being positive assertions:

1. It was teleportation.
2. It was faster than light movement.

Which position is more logically sound:

1. Defying the speed of light is done by teleportation in the series. Therefore, it was teleportation until proven to be FTL movement.
2. It was a faster than light speed feat and it was simply movement.

There's an alternative position to yours: it's teleportation unless you can provide something that directly states it was purely speed.

The Dragonballs are FTL. Why not Beerus?

"Simply movement" is right, since occam's razor dictates we go with the simplest conclusion, or rather the conclusion that relies upon the fewest assumptions. 👆

We could assume that Beerus had the ability to teleport away, and we could assume that he used this assumed ability, but I'd rather not.

Beerus doesn't know how to teleport, it was made clear in BoG during the fight with Goku.
The same goes for Whis.

Was it? When was that?

It was also made clear during RoF that neither Beerus or Whis can teleport:

"Whis and Beerus both wince at Bulma's loud voice, and everyone on Earth turns to see who she's yelling at. "That evil dirt-bag Freeza has come back!" Goku and Vegeta are shocked to hear of Freeza's return, but Bulma yells at them to get back to Earth right away. Whis says that it would take 35 minutes to get them there, but Bulma interrupts to tell Goku to just teleport there already!"

I personally don't think it was necessary this time: Whis uses it to travel the universe in a matter of minutes trillion of times faster than light, while, moving away from that planet, in comparison, it covers a distance completely inconsequential which doesn't require such an amount of speed.
Also, when Whis uses his Ryanair technique he is surrounded by that glowing rainbow-like aura which is not visible this time.
Just my two cents.

If I recall correctly, the argument came out when Godku used IT against him.

However, here's a GIF of the feat:

Exactly, also.

I hope AT keeps adding feats: everyone with a brain knows that the implied power, strength and speed of DB characters beyond Namek saga are huge and they keep exponentially growing during the series, but it's still good to have some practical feats to show the downplayers. 😎

The best speed feat is Goku catching the Dragonball. Those buggers are fast.

For this series, do I've to watch the Frieza movie? I haven't yet. 🙁

The show isn't remotely close to the events of RoF yet. As long as you've seen BoG, you're good for now.

Anyway, first episode was really promising.

Hopefully they don't continue to shit on Gohan like the last two movies did.

Yeah, if the first ep. is any indication, this could be a great series. 👆

The Dragonballs are faster than Beerus. >_>
