Introduction[]
In chapter 482 Gotenks transformed into Super Saiyan flew around the Earth completing at least 5 laps. I don't know how long it took him, but we can see all the traces of ki that indicate he made a full turn before the aura dissipated. At the end of the movie Dragon Ball Super: Broly we can see that Frieza casually flies and his aura dissipates in at least 2 seconds, so knowing this we already have the maximum time that Gotenks would take to go around the Earth. When characters fight, their auras dissipate almost instantly, so I feel compelled to add two more time periods.
Calculation[]
Gotenks shows that it moves around the planet in an oval shaped circumference, I guess the (smallest) diameter which I can't measure will be equal to the diameter of the Earth.
Pixel Scaling[]
Assuming the planet is the same size as ours.
- Earth: 243px | 12742 km
- Long Axis (Lap 1): 490.079585px | 25697.918011 km
- Long Axis (Lap 2): 370.55229px | 19430.3592 km
- Long Axis (Lap 3): 251.09759px | 13166.606992 km
- Long Axis (Lap 4): 471.376707px | 24717.209884 km
- Long Axis (Lap 5): 355.983145px | 18666.408403 km
Ok, now using the diameter of the Earth as the short axis of the spins, we can get the circumference of each one.
- Lap 1: 127437.307456 km
- Lap 2: 103233.463374 km
- Lap 3: 81405.2194241 km
- Lap 4: 123548.820284 km
- Lap 5: 100412.434104 km
Adding all this, the total distance comes to 536037.2446421 km.
Time Frame[]
- Low End: 2 seconds
- Mid End: 1 second
- High End: 0.1 seconds
Speed[]
- Low End: 268018086.28 m/s | 0.89c (Relativistic+)
- Mid End: 536036172.57 m/s | 1.7c (FTL)
- High End: 5360361725.68 m/s | 17.8c (FTL+)
Considering that Saiyans can't spend much time in space, any of the three endings seems about right.
