We focus on the pion velocity at the critical temperature and study thequantum and hadronic thermal effects based on the vector manifestation (VM). Weshow the non-renormalization property on the pion velocity $v_\pi$, which isprotected by the VM, and estimate the value of $v_\pi$ to be close to the speedof light.Comment: 2 pages, talk given at the YITP workshop on ``Nuclear Matter under Extreme Conditions'' (Matter03), Dec. 1-3, 2003, Kyoto, Japa
