Ninja? Well, they had their heyday in 80s action flicks.

Much loved pirates:

Jack Sparrow
Long John Silver
Bob the builder

Captain Pugwash
Dave jones

just to name a few ;)

oh ye and do Ninja's have a ride named after them at disneyland? no not that im aware of!!

A few things about some of those pirates.

Black Bart was the nickname of Bartholomew Roberts.
Dave Jones is actually Davy Jones (Didn't you watch pirates of the carribean?))
I could have swore Barbosa was Barbarossa.
That's about it.

In a man to man fight though, ninja wins.

But, for sheer awesomeness and relatability, pirates win.

I'd say some of the more famous pirates could kill a ninja, but in general, if I had to lead an army of ninjas or an army of pirates, I'd go with ninjas.

I voted Ninja under the circumstance that the battle would take place at the Ninjas deciding. In which case, it would be at night and the Pirate wouldn't know what hit him!

Lol! Excellent point! Ninja's are renowned for there stealth and there combat tactics, the likes of which allowed them to defeat the elite Samurai of feudal Japan.

Ninja were trained with the specific purpose of fighting Samurai.... while samurai were trained to fight other Samurai.
Ninja win.

Pirates may not have had actual training, but they consistently bested one of the most powerful militaries in the world at that time, Spain. Although often outgunned, especially on water (as most pirate ships were actually quite small), they managed to prevail through a combination of sheer ferocious courage and highly advanced tactics that many professional armies had trouble performing, such as false retreats.

Well, pirates tended to use sloops which were much faster then the spanish galleons, The speed advantage made all the difference. Yes, they had good tactics too, but speed is king. Pirates also weren't trained to fight as was mentioned earlier.

In a 1 on 1 fight, a ninja would win as long as the ninja began the conflict (they would often run if they could, they are assassins after all). In a large scale war, pirates would win. Ninjas were never designed to fight a war, their weapons had trouble going through armor. Either way, they both kick ass.

That implies that pirates wore armor.

well no, just saying that. In a war though, range would have a major advantage, I mean look at what ballistas used to be able to do in this game lol

The pirate would be like" Arrg I’m a pirate!" and the ninja would sneak into the pirate ship and set off all of the gunpowder! That is how we ninjas do it! Also ninjas can run on water! I will find all of you pirate lovers and make sure you run into "accidents"! They will most likely be lethal.

another thing, pirates needed ships, because they weren't pirates without a ship and at least 10 companions. ninja only needs his black clothes and shuriken.

And eggs and some crushed glass! Or peppers! How else would they blind the enemies? And the ninjato of course! And blowdarts! And some toxins!

I've admitted that I relate better to pirates then ninjas, but from a military standpoint, in a man to man fight, ninjas win.
By man to mean I of course mean the use of all standard weaponry.

While I'm on the topic of military superiority, anyone else watch Deadliest Warrior?

Yep. I love how its a weapon as much as a defense.

Wait! He still owes me my money!

Deadliest warrior is garbage. Did you see how the pirate beat the samuri? I think that is the episode where the samuri misses the pirate and gets the sword stuck so the pirate shoots him, or something lame like that.

Pirate was against Knight, not Samurai. I forget who Samurai was against.
06-01-2009, 10:41 PM
Lord Arumen

yeah, but still, the fight was lost because the sword got stuck, or the knight fell over or something.
06-01-2009, 10:45 PM

That's only the video they show. They just run simulations based on numbers to get the info. Whoever wins more out of 1000 encounters gets to win in the video.
06-01-2009, 10:48 PM
Lord Arumen

Still, c'mon. Something THAT lame?
06-01-2009, 10:51 PM

Yea, they did do that pretty stupidly. But all in all, I like the show, because it pits the greatest warriors of all time against each other.

actually, you should ask your mom about the night you were conceived. just joking. and Naruto and One Piece both suck. ninja wins. period. no argument. either the pirate is out at sea drunk or drunk on land. ninja are never drunk. if pirates raided a ship full of ninja, who do you think would win?

Oh sheesh, you Ninja, no sense of humor at all. :p You've disgraced my boxer shorts! Now your life ends. Maybe a little drink drink is what you NEED? Eh?

Ninjas win, hands down. I'd give ninjas even odds if they were outnumbered 5 to 1 lol
