But is this 'infinity' the same 'infinity' that he uses on humans who can withstand 0.2 seconds of? Because it honestly sounds like hyperbole, I don't need to tell you of all people that infinity is, well, infinite. 0.2 seconds of infinity is still infinity.
I'm under the impression that Japanese writers tend to use fancy/hyerpole language for attack names(hence, a lot of attacks are given some fancy names throughout manga/anime. Sometimes, the writer even will give some explanations why those characters are doing such things)
While the comics medium is far more...straight about attack name. You (compared to anime/manga) rarely see characters babble about every attack they throw with something like "Orbs of Light, Cast into Shade", "Stardust Reverie", "Sudden Phantom Formation Slash of Karmic Wind".....you got the pattern.
On the hand...comics get some as creative as this lol.

IOW, I think anime/manga attack names are same like the attack names in a fighting game....or the codename of comic characters. It reflects some truth, but ultimately, it should really be taken with a grain of salt

What about Tien punch called 'Rekka Kousoku-Ken' which means Light speed Fury punch.
You don't think the writer was hinting at these punches being Light speed?

Correct. It is anime only. Which is why it will be difficult, maybe impossible, to get the right name seeing as "Rekka kousoku-ken" can either mean;Kōsoku - 光速 - Light Speed
or
Kōsoku - 高速 - High Speed
Not much at all. From taking the dragonballs and summoning the dragon to Goku's victory, they only traveled around 8 islands away from Frieza's ship only to end up flying back to 4 islands away. And seeing how each island is only 100 or so meters long with an island sized ocean gap between, we're not talking much of a distance throughout the entire event, much less the T-minus 5mins.
This is why I keep saying relying on translations suck.

I have a move like that too. I call it my "light speed ***** slaps" my arms also appear very blurry.Tien is an anime martial artist. He's going to have fancy names for his attacks.

At least, it seems my impression isn't just my own
Nonetheless, calling out one's attacks is one of the most common tropes in anime, especially battle shonen series like Dragon Ball Z and My Hero Academia.Launching a powerful attack isn't enough in many series, seeing as so many characters also have cool-sounding names to yell out as they're lunging into it

1)Translation Problem
2)Different culture results different writting style
3)Different conditions(for example, usually it is one writer to write the whole series, so power-scaling is different from comics standards) result in different standards
