BoDB Goku vs Spopovich

And how can you tell this?

Goku was still using nimbus at the start of Z. He didn't seem to be that good at flying.

My guy, Goku can fly Mach 28, faster than Kintoun or any airplane can fly and he still flies with Kintoun.

Oh yeah I forgot he also used the nimbus to get to Nappa and Vegeta and he was definitely relavistic, if not ftl at that point. Though one could make the argument that Goku's travel speed is nowhere near as good as his combat speed.

He did take an awfully long time getting through snake way. Flying seems to take alot of skill and ki for those who aren't born with it like Dende and Piccolo Jr.

Goku seemed surprised that Vegeta could keep up with his flight speed. I think it's moreso that flying even faster than the Kintoun would sap a lot of his Ki than that he is actually slower than the cloud. He only had one Senzu left too, which he needed to use to heal at least two of his allies.

Either way, the fact that Saiyan arc Goku still loses a significant amount of Ki from high speed flight (something which was noted to be Ki worth nothing by Ten in the androids arc), shows Spopovich's Ki being in the single or double digits is unrealistic.

Hold up there brother. Goku is without a doubt faster than Kintoun by this point of the series.

Airplanes are faster than Kintoun. Goku is faster than any airplane.

Travel speed, fighting speed and reaction speed are all treated differently unfort.

This is true. Though people with similar travel speed usually are similar in the other speed categories as well barring extreme examples like Grade 3 and Ginyu's flight slowness.
