a heated debate...............
well, the thing is it does not matter how fast you move...That's nonesense! The ninjas would never attack head on, they would use throwing stars or such against the smelly pirates/vikings and kill them before they even had time to notice. Besides it's not about weight, even a pretty noobie ninja should be able to move swiftly enough to be able to dodge the attacks and use the vikings weight against him
in fist fights, people get hit, in combat people get hit.
There is not blocking, or karate kicking and dodging and "secret moves".
Even bruce lee said this...
in a fight people get hit, and you don't block or dodge, you ATTACK or lose.
People will often times think speed and skill beat brute strength and size, which is a hollywood misconception.
If you are significantly outstrengthed or outsized by your opponent, you will not win.
Now if I'm 170 pounds, I simply will not beat a 300 pound man no matter how much training I have...unless he's just morbidly obese.
If I took on a 220 pound man, +50 pounds of me, I could possibly win, as I have alot of physical training, but if that man is very well trained as well then no I will not win...his weight would be too much for me.
This is why they have weight classes.
And again, a viking weighed 200 pounds... most orientals are barely 140 pounds.
Some pirates, if they were closer in size to the ninja, then sure the ninja could win.
Now if you are to discuss which would win between weapons, it would vary I suppose, pirates were just as clever as ninjas, they were some of the greatest tacticianers of all time. They outsmarted trained militants all the time.
If you put a ninja with a sword against a pirate with a sword, then who knows?

Clearly ninjas. They can sneak up and take out the pirates quietly, plus they have sake, automatic crossbows, shuriken, and lasers.

You're funny. "Please don't degrade the discussion."
Indeed.
Anyway, it's pirates, hands down. No ninja could handle a pirate. The Ninja is a ninny in black PJs. He's a trumped-up pseudo badass invented so dorky, pimply-faced whiners can act like they know some secret martial arts in the hopes of staving off a serious ass-beating.
No less, the ninjas couldn't handle a ship, so they'd never get close enough to the pirates to do any harm. It's all well and good throwing smoke bombs and shuriken, but this is useless when your ship is on fire and cannon balls are tearing your buddies in half.
In conclusion, Ninjas suck, even through their silly little hoods.
Of the House of Wilpuri, with pride. Under the patronage of the most noble Garbarsardar, who is the bomb-digety.
Its pirates hands down. How would a ninja board an enemy ship, hide until sundown, stick to the shadows and kill a crew of 120 people without getting caught and dieing a painful death? Plus a ship MOVES when in the water. Its hard to move around until you get your sea legs. This negates the agility of the ninja. The only time a ninja could possibly win is if the pirates were at a pub celebrating and were drunk and s*&t.
I hate it when dumb over-dramatic animes make a negative stereotype about ninjas AND Asians.
How so? In a hand-to-hand situation, ninjas with their professionally made katanas and skill can handle a pirate. I'm not saying they will win all the time. But they won't LOSE all the time.Originally Posted by mrjesushat
They weren't just made to be "badass", they WERE already "badass' What other REAL SKILL can pirates do other than some minor sword-buckling before hiding behind their cowardly long-ranged artillery and ships.Originally Posted by Wikipedia
Sure the ninjas hide in shadow but at least they don't run away and go "na na can't touch me hahahaha ARRRGH."
Can pirates do all those? What do they do? Drink, say ARRRGH, blow up people, drink, say ARRRGH more?Originally Posted by Wikipedia

a peg leg is a common mis conception about pirates
Clearly the pirates would kick ninja ass. They would decimate the waterwalking ninjas with grape before the poor schmucks were even able to get on board. And...damn...could you imagine the slaughter while the guys in PJs were trying to climb up over the rails between bouts of seasickness? Good God.
By the time the remaining ninjas got on board, it would just be a matter of overwhelming them with sheer numbers. I'm sure ninjas were a bunch of badasses in individual combat, but really...how badass are they going to be when faced with 30-1 odds in a rather confined space?
Now...robot ninjas.....that's an entirely different deal there.

Ninja are boring. Pirates were dumb rapists, but at leasts they were some fun.
