From what I saw, the attack that hit Pitou wasn't an aura blast. It looked that way but it's actually a palm attack similar to when Netero was suddenly infront of Meruem this episode. I believe the "pray" is relatively slower than the attack since it's still a physical motion. TGB's attack is faster than the speed of sound but it only appears after the "pray" in a cause and effect manner.

Regarding your second comment, again activation which here points to the "pray" is relatively slower than the attack. The attack which hit Pitou is nowhere different than the thousands of attacks he launched against Meruem. All attacks using the TGB's hand are faster than the speed of sound but the aura beam IS supposed to be at the speed of light level.

@Valhern, "If each and all of Netero's movements were faster than sound, the King wouldn't even have time to land on the ground after a hit." All of 100TGB's attacks are faster than the speed of sound BUT the "pray/activation" like I said is still a physical movement and is done physically by Netero at will. So Netero's response time to Meruem's recovery from each attack is the most crucial I believe because like I said, it works/activates in a cause-and-effect manner. That's where Meruem was able to disrupt the rhythm of Netero's attacks.
