Rider: Fate Stay Night CRT

I am new here so sorry if I make mistakes.
I was reviewing the Fate stay Night Visual Novel and came across this.
Multiple times as shown in this links
It is clearly stated that Rider with her Noble Phantasm Bellerophon was an arrow of light with limited parameters due to Shinji being her temporary master.
And right after then both a weakened and massively injured Shirou with Saber dodge an attack from Rider and Shinji in their attempt to escape.
But upon checking the wiki it only places her at massively hypersonic+.
Shouldn’t this give Rider SOL movement wise in feats and Shirou Relativistic+ in terms of reaction speed?
If i made any mistakes please inform me.
 
Arrow of Light mean nothing, unless you can prove that it actually act like real light which no
Why does it mean nothing?
It is repeated multiple times as light so far.
And it was capable of moving in a straight point without bending as it destroyed the hallway in a straight path before destroying the wall as Shinji and Rider escaped.

everything can moving at straight line, your point????. Either it directly stated to be as fast as real life light, move at light speed, Light alone mean nothing, unless you can prove that they are compose of photon, act like real ligh, reflect from mirror or something similar, etc...................
 
Statements like this are common in fiction and most of the time they are just flashy wording.

The statements you provided just call it an arrow of light. But even if it was made of light, that doesn't necessarily mean it moves at the speed of light.

A good example of an actually valid lightspeed statement is this one about Haku from Naruto which explicitly confirms the wording is meant to be literal.
 
Wasn't there a CRT for Fate to make Servants Rel due to them stating to move near light speed or something? What happened to that?
Servants approaching light speed is a quote from Fate/Zero, where a Vulcan machine gun operating at twice its normal capacity is enough to threaten a Servant
 
The power creep was referring to Beasts etc.. They needed Arash's NP to travel 300 km/h and Kingu flying at 500 km/h was considered extremely impressive. So this is actually the consistent speed of Bellerophon.
 
Similar statements exist in the heavens route for saber alter and rider
Said statements are also from Shirou's PoV for the most part, and he is not exactly the most reliable person around. And again, all of them could very easily be hyperbole

FTL and SoL feats rarely happen without context in Fate
But isn’t it up for revision. Plus with the increased power creep that has been shown since Fate/GO.
Kingu travelling at 500/km is still impressive and Tomoe's normal arrows are cited as moving at Mach 1. Unless you want to make the assumption that she is literally incapable of hitting another Servant then it is unlikely that they have Relativistic or FTL combat speed
