Chapter: 164, P4.4 Popo: “We’re incredibly high up in the sky here. The air is thin. It’s tough on you humans. That’s why it’s no good for people like you who make so many unnecessary movements. This is an important principle, even down on the ground. A stance as quiet as the sky, movement as fast as lightning" Honestly, I just interpret this as 'Don't waste your breath talking and distracting yourself' and 'When you move, make sure you move with speed.' Lightning strikes directly and doesn't waste time moving towards anything else but it's target. Though, that's just my interpretation. |

They way you're interpenetrating is a hyperbole. A human can't be as quiet as something that doesn't make noise since they still have their blood vessels pumping. Then going from quiet to calm is a metaphor. It's nearly impossible to see it literally. Edited by Mihawk, Jul 24 2014, 09:43 PM.

He doesn't say "calm" he says "quiet", as in making no noise. Being completely calm is something else. I also want to point out that Goku was never stated to swim across the planet in one day. The page you showed just says Goku swam from the other side of the planet, no timeframe is ever given, it could have been a week or longer. |

Yeah, and making no noise is a metaphor/hyperbole because it's impossible to make no noise when your body is constantly making noises. Alternatively it's impossible to be as quiet as something that makes as much noise as the sky (it's actually A LOT). |
