I am 100% with AKM here. A beam being stated to be "light" and moving in a straight line isn't evidence for lightspeed. Not here and not never. This to me is non-negotiable. I don't care how many verses this affects.

Yes.is there really a major difference between saying something is of light, and something is made of light.
Mask's attack name isn't "Beam of light that kills all villains"If there wasn't a major difference between saying something is light and saying something is specifically made of photons/light, we wouldn't have it as an additional supporting point and literally every attack with "light" in it's name would have been accepted as lightspeed. lol
This is just a misunderstanding caused by wording that you're not getting for some reason.
I'm sorry for not being convinced with a statement that goes like:The rest of his dialogue is him giving further context on this attack.
Google "Noro Noro Beam"You don’t really expect a mangaka to randomly say “I’m going to shoot this light beam of photons” right?
Him being a hero doesn't change how his statement is delivered. Like you said, if he is cheering himself with the word "hero", calling the opponent "villain", that means he is deliberately being extravagant in his speech, which means the statement should not be taken literally. This is like All Might going in some hero philosophical shit and saying "The villain shall be defeated by the Hero's punch of justice". Doesn't make his punch of justice be literal. He is just cheering himself to create hype. The use of "beam of light" can be the same here when it is against villains who are seen as related to darkness.Well this flowery context is literal because Mask's schrift is literally S- Superhero meaning he cheers himself on as a hero.( this isn't headcannon this is literally his ability)The villain would be the captain and his beam of light got rid of him.
Well, it's not saying "beam made of light" either. So the point is weak.which is why the requirement says "made out out of photon or light"
I provided my reasons above in my last comment. Although, that point won't need to be debated because as far as I am concerned, the feat does not fulfill the required conditions for being light speed, which should be clarified in Tempest's thread soon. Not to mention our standards also say that the burden of proof is higher when there are no other close to lightspeed scenarios in the series.How could you even come to the conclusion this isn’t a literal statement.
i find this point very hyper specific. Where is it stated the statement has to include the word made. Mask stating his laser is of light would imply it is lightwhich should be clarified in Tempest's thread soon.
This is just some additional thing added for further support. It literally says that.Additionally, if a series is very close to lightspeed or exceeds it in several other calcs and scenarios (such as what is seen in DBZ), there is less of a burden of proof to show that the laser is a true laser.
not anymoreweren't they already relativistic before this calc
By characters who have the power to interact with “intangible” objects and souls. Is in their profiles look at it. You can also find the thread about it. All of these claims that you make happened in the intangible world to humans where the characters we know of can touch and interact with it.ALL MATTER creates curvature in space-time. The thing is that it generally requires a lot of mass-energy in one place for that curvature to be noticeable or significant. Gravitational lensing is used in astronomy because of how massive celestial bodies are, from stars to black holes to galaxies.
Just applying E=MC^2 tells all one needs to know about why your specific argument can't work. The curvature caused by 9x10^16 Joules worth of light concentrated in a certain volume is the same as 1 kg of matter within the same volume; 1 ton = 9 x 10^19 Joules; 1000 Tons = 9 x 10^22 Joules, and so on.
Not to mention that any curvature of space-time caused by mass-energy in real life follows the Speed of Causality. If you were to suddenly remove the Sun from the centre of the Solar System, it'd still take 8 minutes for Earth to stop moving along its orbital path and start moving in a straight line. In other words, any curvature of space-time that "persists" even though the energy causing it has already been scattered to the wind i.e. there is no continual source of energy keeping the space warped, is purely for "rule of cool's" sake, thus unquantifiable.

Then there is the fact that no Cero in Bleach has never behaved in any way like natural light. Cero and other spiritual energy-based attacks almost always physically clash with one another in the common Beam-O-War scenario, whereas natural light beams would just pass through each other unimpeded.
Ceros and other reiryoku-based attacks, like Getsuga Tenshou and Quincy reishi arrows, are consistently shown to have a tangible mass to them. They can be physically halted and stopped; they can be redirected by hand; they can be "shattered" and dissipated. The exact opposite of "intangible", as you've tried to claim before.
Go read the staff discussion about this topic and see how many people agree or disagree with you, then we can have this conversationIf you are obsessed with the word "made" and think that is the only way to meet that qualifications then no.
Via the standards a ray of light is a ray composed of light.Via the wiki's standards, no
Being called a beam of light would logically mean it's well made of light.
Personally without a direct speed statement I'm always iffy with one evidence SoL assumptions.Being called a beam of light would logically mean it is lightspeed
But as long as there's more than just the name and it operates as a beam I dont see why it can't be usable as long as it isn't inconsistent with the series speed wise.
