It's still all speculation on your part. There is no
direct evidence showing that a character could go the speed of light. You are taking many pieces of
weak evidence to create a
weak theory. Let me show you again how to properly take
direct evidence to reach some kind of conclusion:
Super Boo is stronger than Kid Boo because:
1) Goku was afraid to fight with Super Boo, even with Vegeta's help
2) Goku had no qualms about fighting Kid Boo, alone
See? Two pieces of strong evidence help us reach a conclusion. There is no speculation involved whatsoever in what I just said, as it's all shown
directly in the manga. Here's what you're doing:
1) Muten Rôshi was able to dodge bullets (this is true; it's shown in the series), and he moved faster than normal humans' eyes could keep up with (this is also shown), so he could probably move faster than the speed of sound (
this is a conclusion you reached; you can't use speculation to strengthen a
theory)
2) Zarbon looked like he was standing still to Vegeta (when exactly did he say this?). There was a 1.09 difference between their powers (how do you know what Zarbon's power level was?), therefore, a difference of 1.09x in power level is enough to make it seem like the faster opponent is standing still to the weaker opponent (really? Vegeta was more than twice as strong as Goku was, yet he could at least keep up with his movements; he certainly didn't look like he was standing still to Goku. [b]I don't think Toriyama ran these kind of calculations like you seem to imply. It's a children's manga, as you said before. I doubt he paid any attention to the percentage differences between characters' powers)
3) If Muten Rôshi, with a power level of 139 can move at 700 MPH (speculation on your part), then a character with a power level of 278 can move at 1,400 MPH (again, speculation. How do you know that a character twice as strong moves twice as fast?)
4) Therefore, the characters would eventually reach light speed
See? It's all weak evidence made from speculation. Don't act like it's you've got facts on your hands, please!
Also, how did you reach the conclusion that Raditz moves thousands of miles per second? If you're talking about the speed of the rifle bullet he caught, doesn't that quote say "1,000
meters per second"?
