"Flash of light" is commonly used as a metaphorical expression. You also have to think that there's no feats in the verse that come close to SOL.
I don't think so however."Flash of light" is commonly used as a metaphorical expression. You also have to think that there's no feats in the verse that come close to SOL.
It's not a context in which you can say it could be a figure of speech
- It is not a random movement of a character, and another admits that it is at the speed of light, it is not a very fast movement and it is said it seems as fast as light or at the speed of light with some exclamation points. it is a new technique and it is explained how it works and its speed, to say that it is a rhetorical figure to remove a feat where there is no context that it is and also it is not contradicted I don't see the reason.
Furthermore "As fast as", as per the meaning, AS precisely means:
“similarity / equally with or in which / equally / not less than / introducing or expressing a result or consequence / Denoting sameness or similarity in nature.
Furthermore, "as" is used precisely to express an equality, if you notice when an author uses a rhetorical figure he tends to point it out narratively too, it makes no sense to say that it is a rhetorical figure when we have 0 context both to assume it and to prove it.
For example, the author with Gyokko we see that Gyokko says: I transcend the laws of nature...
Obviously this is a figure of speech, we have a context where Gyokko shows his true form and becomes convinced that he is very strong, he likes his form etc and the author makes us understand, at that moment he is explaining a technique, where explains how fast it is and how it works, it makes no sense to say that it is a figure of speech.
Anyway that's another statement, now we're speaking about MSH+ statements.
