Ginyu's speed

[KyuubiAhri]

Ginyu remarks that his new body with 23,000 PL is faster than his old body with PL of 120,000.Is it just writing error or does his "real"body speed just sucks that much?

-Out of universe explanation: For drama; don't forget, at this point, the reader
is still supposed to believe Ginyu can use all Goku's power.
-In universe explanation: Placebo effect.

In reality it was most likely just a way to make us think that he really did attain Goku's power but in-universe nothing says Captain-Ginyu has to go full-speed to go wherever he wants to. He could just have been casually trying to fly and noticed Goku's casual speed is faster than his, but if he went full-speed he'd have noticed it wasn't all that.

Goku has faster traveling speed. Dunno about movement and combat speed tho.

 

[Jerk Store]

Yeah, traveling speed and combat speed are different things.

Shitty writing, very shitty writing. When I was 14 I didn't realize this was one of many times DB backed the plot into a corner and got out of that corner with little to no explanation.
