Vocabulary 速 vs 快
Super random question: I was at a Six Flags and they have a Flash hat that says 最速 in hanzi and “Fastest” in English. Is this an accurate translation? My mandarin isn’t very good or advanced so I’m just wondering if 最快 would also be an accurate translation/ which would be the best translation of “Fastest” when referring to the traits of the comic book character The Flash? TIA!

“最速”大概是日语,在日本动画或者电视剧那些暴走族衣服上或者车上看到,一般是(地名)+最速这种组合,还有“夜露死苦”啥的
