That's basically my point: he doesn't ever portray them going faster than light as a function of the narrative, it's only because the genre as a whole flagrantly just doesn't give a crap in the slightest about the ramifications about the actions of the characters in question. Hence why they can move quadrillions of times faster than the speed of light: the author just doesn't give a crap. This can be best exemplified by Trigunl in its two iterations. In the original when Vash first shows off his ability to move faster than/react to a bullet the characters freak out and rationalize it as "Oh, he's just reacting to the direction of the gun + their finger" (which would be pretty categorically shown as false as the show goes on). In the reboot he does the same thing but the characters no longer care beyond doing the line as it is practically unheard of for a modern anime character to not be able to react to a bullet regardless of who they are (the exception, of course, being if they are a jobber).

Look forward to the Lycoris Recoil match ups where characters are suddenly moving at 20x speed of sound lmfao
