Anton requested this because his internet is down right now.
This character can be seen going pretty damn fast compared to lightning.
Calc[]
In six frames, the character moved from the very edge of the bridge to their position in the screenshot below.
Player = 105 px = 177 cm (unless Anton tells me otherwise in which case a modification can be made)
Distance = 474 px = 799.03 cm
Now, lightning travels from the clouds to ALMOST the ground in one frame.
Below is a screenshot of lightning nearly hitting the ground.
Assuming it came from the lowest possible clouds, this would be a baseline distance of 1000 meters. For the sake of ease, we'll say it traveled those 1000 meters in one frame (it takes one frame for lightning to appear on screen and nearly hit the ground). I'm providing this image to prove it is not simply an instantaneous thing, it doesn't instantly appear- it does travel.
7.9903 x 440000 / 1000 = 3515.732 m/s, however, the character does their distance in six to the lightning's one. Divide by six to get a speed of 585.955 m/s. This is a suitable low-end.
As a high-end, let us compare to the distance lightning traveled on-screen for one frame. This assumption would mean that the lightning was just above the screen before it appeared. This does have its merits- the attack is called far earlier. So let's calc it.
Character = 103 px = 177 cm
Lightning = 422 px = 725.19 cm
Compare again.
7.9903 x 440000 / 7.2519 / 6 = 80800.25 m/s. That's a big difference.
I'll let you guys decide which is more likely.

Anima Gotta Go Fast (Low-End): Mach 1.71, Supersonic
Anima Gotta Go Fast (High-End): Mach 235.57, Massively Hypersonic
As an unbiased person (I've literally never interacted with the verse in my life), I am not partial to either end. There's an argument to be had for both. Cheers.
