I can't check, I don't have that novel either but your other quote proves your claims!
Actually, he can't, since it's never explained what hyper-speed is, and thus never any conclusive proof that this means 'beyond the speed of light'. Unless you seriously want to claim that everyone since Raditz has been able to move beyond the speed of light.

2-This was mostly addressing point #1. Anyway, I'd like to wright my chart that shows Freeza was moving at 200 million mph at 50%:

Power/Speed
139/700 mph
1848.7/8680 mph
24,587.71/107,632 mph
327,016.54/1,334,640 mph
4,349,319.98/16,549,496.32 mph
57,845,955.73/205,213,754.36 mph

*Muliplyed 1.33x10 to get 13.3. I increased the power by this number
**Multiplyed the speed by 1.24=10 to get 12.4. This came from subtracting 1.09 from 1.33.



If I can prove their speed for a given power-level is greater than the speed of light, then it doesn't-matter if they defy the laws of physics. How many times have I said that...? The math speaks for itself and Dragonball has both kept faithfull to the laws of physics AND defies them left and right. This ("unrealistic", "unscientific") is not a good arguement.
Actually, it is, becayuse of course as they get stronger they get faster, which means that it is impossible for them to not attain a speed beyond light, mathematically on paper. Since you could use maths to show that an accelerating object in space should eventually pass beyond the speed of light, this must mean it will, right? Wrong. Science shows that matter cannot break this barrier, and until the manga conclusively shows that I don't have to accept that the maths are true. Theory and practice are very different things.
