I was stating on another board (it was a Naruto vs Bleach thread) and the Naruto backers where saying that Ichibei's 1000Ri attack is based off the Chinese measurement meaning the attack only would send him 300 miles, instead of the 2,000 plus miles by todays measurement. (It was Ichibei vs Sasuke/Naruto)

I said due to the period of the Samurai, the clothing, and the parallel origin of the original Gotei 13 to the warring times of Japan, it would place Ichibei's translation of Ri as the current one since Ri became standard during the end of the Edo era. Before that, Japan's Ri was always bigger (according to research) from 36, 40, and 48cho and that when the Ri was introduced into Japan (as the smaller Chinese Ri) the Samurai were not even around since there was 4 eras of Japan culture/intellectual growth which would make orginal Gotei history invalid.

What do you guys think? Would Ichibei's 1000 Ri attack send them 300miles or 2,000 plus miles
