"Lightning-Fast" is equal to Lightning speed?

Saying someone is "Lightning Fast" is usually treated as hyperbole. It's just a fancy way of saying the character is fast.

You get stuff like this a lot in fiction. Unless their is other things supporting it then no, you can't say the character is actual as fast as lightning with just that statement alone. Now it you has a credible source that stated "He moved as fast as a bolt of lightning" and he easily blized High Hypersonic characters then you might have something.

Though Bleach already has characters faster than Lighting/Massively Hypersonic. So this wouldn't really matter.
 
"A spiderweb of cracks appeared upon the surface, as the darkness within redoubled its attack. With her eyes closed, Halla didn't see it, and Sigvar was too far away, even as he lurched to his feet and drew his sword. Olar was suddenly at Halla's shoulder, Thunderchild clasped in both hands. Just as the darkness breached the pillar's surface, spearing towards Halla with the speed of a lightning strike, Olar shouldered her aside. His warhammer smashed the tendril of darkness asunder with a deafening crack. It was not the only one, however—three more spat from the rupture."

What about this?
