How fast is Goku?

Now this is my favourite way to find Goku's speed, in the time between Raditz coming to Earth and the Attack of the Saiyans, Piccolo fires a blast at the moon which takes 4 seconds to reach it if you go frame by frame and allocate a certain amount of seconds per frame. Some people may argue this is cinematic timing, however there is no reason to make this go slower or faster, unlike 5 minutes left until Namek blows up.

238,900 miles from Earth to the Moon. This shows Piccolo's blast goes around 59,725 miles per second, or 96,118 kilometres.

Note that the speed of light is 186,282 miles per second, which means that Piccolo is shooting a blast 1/3 the speed of light in early Dragon Ball Z. Raditz was able to dodge the same blast easily, with a power level of 1,500. So Raditz can move 1/3 the speed of light, power levels are like ki, it represents all stats, as the higher your ki gets, the more it effects each stat, not one specific. So this shows you need a power level of 4500 to reach the speed of light, the first character to come close to this is Nappa, with a power level of 4,000. We are going to fast forward to the last confirmed power level of base Goku, which is only in the Frieza saga, which is 150,000,000 in SSJ1, divide it by 50, which is the official SSJ multiplier, and you get 3,000,000. 3,000,000 divided by 4500 is 666, Goku is 666x faster than light in base form during the Frieza Saga. Now, for the sake of simplicity, we are going to ignore the fact that Goku trains to get his base form stronger as well as gaining new super Saiyan forms.

Speed in Base: 666x FTL

Speed in SSJ1: 33,300x FTL

Speed in SSJ2: 66,600x FTL

Speed in SSJ3: 266,400x FTL

ALL OF THIS IS EXTREMELY LOWBALLED, WE WILL COME BACK TO THIS LATER, AS WE HAVE SOLID FEATS SHOWING RESULTS OF HIS TRAINING IN DBS.

Goku is 133,200,000x FTL

NOTE THAT ALL OF THIS IS EXTREMELY LOWBALLED
