Where was it calculated that Special Beam Cannon is 7% the speed of light? Because if it never was, then Raditz showed nothing to prove that he's sub-relativistic.

And the author of the calculation below states the high-end speed to be Mach 84, not sub-relativistic.

Honestly, even if you go to the highest end and place the blast at 1 second, that only puts it at Mach 5,040 which isn't even 1% the speed of light. I know it was by a weaker Piccolo, but even if you multiply the feat by 3 (difference between Piccolo and Raditz's power levels), you still don't get 7% the speed of light.
If someone has the calculation to counter this, I actually do want to see it. Just trying to find the evidence.

384,400,000 Meters is the distance from the moon and earth.
Assuming he did this in 1 second it would be 112% the speed of light.
If he did in 10 seconds it would be 12% the speed of light.
The timeframe we used is in between these 2.
If he did it 30 seconds it would be 4% the speed of light.
And if you want to throw logic out the window and say he stared at the moon for a full minute the result would be 2% the speed of light.
No matter how you want to look at this its Sub-Rel.

Apologies, I was relying on the original poster of this calculation's accuracy for the distance (link above). I only just realized he used a strange fictitious distance for the beam to travel. I'm not sure why.

Light travels through space at just over 186, 000 miles per second. The moon is just under 250, 000 miles from Earth, so light from the Moon's surface has to travel about 1.3 seconds to reach us.
