Forums → The Tavern → Samurai, Ninjas, or Pirates?

Where as ninjas are anarchic and fight for the people and pirates fight only for themselves, samurai fight for their daimyu, their own honor, the law of the land, their families' honor and the people (as they saw it).

The only laws of a ninja are naught but guidelines on how to do their job right. Pirates only laws are simple codes of maritime diplomacy. Samurai follow a code of respect and honor.

Ninjas fight with farm tools and pirates with stolen guns and swords. Samurai fight with: their daisho, a set of swords passed down though many generations and the soul of the samurai; a yumi, a bow that was seen as the soul of the samurai long before the katana was first forged; a naginata, a slashing pole arm that was treated as a daisho in terms of honor; and a kenabo, a big *** club covered in metal studs.

When a ninja loses his job, he becomes a common theif. When a pirate loses his job, he becomes a hobo. When a samurai loses his job, he becomes a ronin.

Who still doesn't think samurai are the best? I thought so.

A ninja usually carries a sword and shuriken, lightweight. Samurais have armor, swords, and a bow with arrows, that does weight a lot. Pirates usually have a sword with a pistol.

So, ninjas most likely move the quickest since they are so agile and trained to be that way. Samurais live by a code and whatnot, but with all that weight it does drag them down a bit. Pirates are lightweight as well, but they aren't trained to be fast. However, they have guns. The Samurai armor might be able to withstand the gunshot since the gun isn't modern. A ninja could probably take out a Samurai and pirate without even getting close to them by throwing a shuriken. But if it's close combat then I think a samurai would win because of the armor and the weapons that they have. Pirates would win at long distance since they have pistols. Samurais could also win at long distance due to them having bows, but pistols are more effective.

It all depends on the situation. But according to Deadliest Warrior, the pirate beat the ninja. I haven't heard anything about either of those two going against a samurai warrior.

I forgot to add the tags to the pirate photo.

Pirate


I couldn't find a good pirate one, so I chose this one.

I think during the yime where samurai's were popular in japan, there was a war between gov samurais and peasants with rifles. Peasants won. The problem is that their armor can't withstand bullets.

One must be the son of a samurai to be a samurai, otherwise they officially aren't one and don't have the title.

A ninja is just someone skilled in ninjutsu, a stealthy form of combat.

Pirates are very real today especially in the Gulf of Aden and places like that off the coast of Somalia. However, being a pirate is illegal.

So, seeing as I'm not fathered by a samurai and I'm no criminal, I'd be a ninja.

According to Matrix, the samurais are very ugly. The pirates are pretty much a piece of crap with out their guns. And ninjas are just agile and stealthy.

No they don't. There armor maybe not the good looking. So do Samurai's. They also have swords and other cool gadgets that Pirates don't have.

No they don't.

And don't forget cannons. Pirates also have those.

Samurai for sure.
Better skills in my opinion.
& females look best in a samurai costume rather than ninja/pirate - also, my opinion.

I like ninjas.
Pirates, to me, are over rated.
The samurai are the enemy of ninjas.

I respect the samurai the most, but I would probably be a pirate. Mostly for the spoils (rum, gold, etc.). Samurai and ninjas didn't get paid much, if anything, because it was just honorable to their families and their nation).

I definitely respect the Samurai and the Ninja a lot. It's my heritage, especially the Samurai. I don't go for pirates, they stole. I think I'd be a Ninja. They're cool.
