Speed of lightning =/= Speed of light

Light travels at 186,000 miles per second in a vacuum. So the light from a flash of lightning travels at the speed of light in air, which is slightly less than the speed of light in a vacuum (e.g. space)

But lightning itself travels nowhere near as fast as the speed of light. Lightning is an electrical discharge and is bound by the laws of physics. Its speed depends on many factors, including the conductivity of the medium it is travelling through.

Observed Velocity
Propagation of high-altitude lightning observed from space was measured at a speed of 50 kilometers per second (112,000 mph). This is considerably slower than the 670 kilometers per second (1,500,000 mph) maximum return stroke velocity reported in an IEEE report in 2006. In a paper published in 2007, wide variations in stroke speeds were reported, up to 4000 kilometers per second (9,000,000 mph). While incredibly fast, these show that the average lightning speed is considerably slower than the speed of light.

To give the best image here are some conversions (ugh I hate that calcs got brought into this)

For the space measurement
112,000 mph = 50,070 m/s

For the max speed of the IEEE report
9,000,000 mph = 4,023,360 m/s

The speed of light is...
670,616,629 mph = 299,792,458 m/s

In other words, lightning's not even close. At most Goku was around 10% of light speed and at least Goku was around mach 150 (a.k.a massively hypersonic).
