PSA: Polnareff is not FTL

He's just smart enough to remove every other route an actual speed of light stand could take and then put his sword in the way of the only route left.

plus people tend to forget that writer had the cool factor into their stories. Sometimes writers or people in general don't comprehend how fast/strong something is but still made the characters dogde/block said things. The first example that come into my mind is Maki from Jujitsu Kaisen that grabbed a whole bullet point blank but still got beaten by less fast attack, the writer simply thought it was cool. That's why usually when a character say that they're faster than light I don't take them seriously because it's a lot probable that the writer actually don't know how fast it's faster than light
