| Ninjas, eeasily! |

| Rawr, stop Following me Thea;7 |
| Hmm.... Samurai I guess. I always loved the theory though that ninja's never actually exsisted. I find that to be kinda interesting. |
| I totally vote samurai. I love the soppy samurai things like honor and The Code, and I am a big fan of Meiji-ish period pieces. I don't think a ninja has ever broken my heart. |
| Samurai wins! |
| Ninjas. They become aware of their surroundings in a fight, and are more agile. Besides, a samurai couldn't go on a one-on-one 'fight' with a ninja. The ninja would take them out from the shadows....And no, we're not talking Naruto ninjas....Believe it. |
| Vikings. |
 |
| Kenshee(Samurai X) he's so cool and the idoitic Black Star from Soul Eater |
| >Samurais >Ninjas :| |
| Samurai's, due to my love for the Shinsengumi. |
| Ninja were said to have mysterious powers aside from their mere arts of trickery. Basically magic. You can see this played out in the anime Naruto. While Samurai were just soldiers. Which is why anime and manga and videos more often portray Ninja with more magical powers while they often portray Samurai with more mere physical powers. Though you could if comparing Ninja other things, that if Samurais are soldiers, Ninjas are secret agents, mercenaries, or any other similar field that works on intelligence and in any background field of an operation as to use trickery. I forget where all I have read this, but it has been claimed that ninja did or were believed by many or a vocal some, that ninjas had mysterious or "magical powers", whether you believe this or not, is up to your own view of the supernatural. For instance, Jiraiya, a character you may well know from the Animated series Naruto or comic book, is one Ninja claimed by ancient Japanese sources to have magical powers. And a basis for the ideas of Ninjutsu in Naruto. Despite all the people going "lol Naruto is weird Ninjas didn't have powers like that" is about like saying "lol Super Book is so weird, Moses couldn't have parted the water". All a matter of perception and how you interpret historical record. And according to legends, Ninjas WERE a lot like wizards. Speaking of which I need to add Super Book to my list, it's considered an anime. To me, the idea of studying Ninjutsu is a fanciful idea, but so is Kendo. I think for a full on well rounded martial art though, Ninjutsu is a well favorable martial art to Kendo or any other swordfighting. And I have more fond memories of Ninja than Samurai. One can't forget that the Ninja can use the katana, one of the most interesting and endearing parts of the Samurai life. I'm gonna go with the Mystic Ninja. |

Frito said: samurais have too much honor to kill other individuals, i doubt ninjas abide by the same rule. so ninja get's the win. O'really ? Than can you explain me why 80 % of the samurai's you see in anime ( at least since movies totally forget about ethics ) are just people with power that do what ever they want with no regards for anyone else ? * poke's Rurourin Kenshin anime specially or Samurai Champloo or Blade of the immortal ... i kind of doubt that japanese people would tarnish their own ~ proud ~ history like this if there were no facts behind also ... but i may be wrong also :P since its just a presumption * |
| that's anime. have you actually met a samurai? i haven't, so i assumed? O.o! duh, geez someone needs to open a book. |
| Samurais i love the one they dress in Kamurai Suits |
 |
Frito said: that's anime. have you actually met a samurai? i haven't, so i assumed? O.o! duh, geez someone needs to open a book. Yep. Someone needs to open a book. |
|
| No Pirates D:? Well ... I guess if we're talking Ninjas and Samurais even though I prefer Samurais (because when I think of Ninjas it keeps going to Naruto ><) I'd still have to say ninja is more kick ass (the non-naruto kind that is xD) |
| How about "neither"? Samurai: The code of Bushido is getting outdated now. Most people are not willing to risk their lives for their country, regardless of the situation. The idea of wielding a katana and a kodachi in battle is no longer effective in the age of guns. I would pick "samurai", if it currently the Meiji era, but it isn't. Ninja: Aside from the cool concept from anime and manga, the role of ninja is to act as either data collecting agents or simple assasins. If you look at it realistically, its nothing cool at all. The reason why ninja had to master stealth abilities because of the danger of collecting data in enemy territories and the idea to run away with the least amount of injuries is vital. More over, to carry out assasin missions, the ninja must be in top condition, mainly one capable of launching speedy attacks and defends. If I have to pick one, it will be samurai though. |
 |
| Ninja. I've always been a fan of the Ninja Turtles, Scorpion and Sub-Zero. |
 |
| Samurai : d |
     |
| WTF!!! Where is option for gun wielding nuns!??? |
| I like them both but I like ninjas more. Gotta love bouncing and fighting in the shadows. Besides, they're faster. |
| all that skill..and bushido means nothing if you get ganked from the shadows and never see it comin.....ninjas ftw! Tenchu Ftw!! |
| NIIIIIINJA but samurai are more disciplined |
| Pirates. Yarr. ... Or Vikings, to be more specific. |
| Samurai ofcourse, Honor above all!!!! |
   |
| I'd go with Ninjas, I'm a big fan of sneaking up to your enemies and killing them in a stylish way(if you can). But on the other hand..samurai swords <3 |
 |
| Ninjas > Samurais Why? Because committing suicide (bushido) is a disgrace. |
| Ninja. Stealth kill (Like those in Tenchu) ftw |
| Samurais!!! |
   |
| Samurai! They have cool swords that allow for really overly brutal/bloody/epic finishes. |
 |
kei-clone said: Samurais. Sure Ninja can probably kill better, but that doesn't make em cooler in my eyes. If you can kill with honor, that makes you better. I agree |

gyaeck said: Think of it this way, Ninjas have stupid little kid shows (Naruto). Samurai.... I can't even think of any kid shows that are based on Samurai! think of it this way, in reality ninjas are hardly ever caught and they usually never fight to the death. samurai's will almost always get caught, always fight to the death (pride) and as an extra, if shamed or failed they willingly throw themselves onto their swords... just plain stupid comes to mind... lol |
| Oooh, that was a hard decision. I like how ninja have the powers and can kill you from the shadows, but samurai rely only on their physical abilities to fight, plus the scene of two opponents clashing swords was always cool. In the end I chose ninja. Always have been a fan. It's true that Naruto may come off as a bit childish at times(especially the english dub) but it has it's serious moments. Plus there are more ninja anime out there. Basilisk and Ninja Scroll are both serious, violent anime series that are in another group altogether. |
 |
| I'm gonna have to go with Samurai, based on the fact that I never acquired a taste to Naruto vs. my high enjoyment of Samurai Champloo. I also like Samurai in actual movies too; they have a habit of being portrayed as really bad-ass. The only thing that would make me wanna go with Ninjas more would be Ryu Hayabusa, or more in particular the Ninja Gaiden franchise, but that's just one thing so...Samurai! =P |
  Dango, dango, dango, dango, dango, daikazoku~ |
| samurais for sure. ninjas are cold bloodthirsity murderers and are disgrace they so not be allowed to used katanas or even kadachis. no honor means go die u disgraceful punk |
| Ugh, this one's tough. -_- Hmm, I do find ninjas cool (they scream BADASSERY, people) and I adore 'em for that but...they kinda suck lately (Naruto, anyone?). Going with samurais on this one, I guess. |
| ninja b/c samurai = olden days and those shows set in "that" era bore me to death whether old korean/chinese/japnese/ just hell no. |
 今はどんでん返しの時代ではない★너와 함께 했던 일상은 어느샌가 작은 영화속 풍경이되고 ☆ |
| Have to pick Ninjas |
   |
| Samurai, easily |
| well ninja i always used to like: the crazy moves using ur hands, whilst recently (due to samurai champloo) i prefer samurais and they have more dignity and honour i think |
