Ninja vs Samurai: WHO WOULD WIN?

[OB1]

You have no idea who you are dealing with.

OMG I am so scared right now.

1. The ninja inspired fear in his opponents, including samurai. It is very hard to fight an opponent who you are afraid of.

Yes, the warriors who ruled and defended the entire nation of Japan for over a millenia were afraid of guys in black tights. Thank you for your information!

2. The Samurai wore their armor a better portion of the day with their armor on. They trained in it and praying in it, both taking a good deal of their day up.

Firstly, nice grammar. I love your rebelious way of mixing past and present tenses. Mentally more mature indeed!

Allow me to educate you. Depending on which period in Japanese history we're talking about, the Samurai wore different types of clothing. And depending on which lord they served and if they were in battle or not, the clothing differs. But most of the time a Samurai would wear a simple kimono which usually consisted of two layers, as well a pair of sandals or wooden clogs. They would wear a kind of loincloth under their kimonos which kind of looked like big diapers, and would either have straw raincoats in case of bad whether or an extra layer of clothing that would also have a separate piece to cover the head. Ronin, or lordless Samurai, would dress in this fashion as well, just usually not quite as clean. I've no idea where you got the idea that they wore their armor all of the time (perhaps that crappy Last Samurai movie made you think that?), but mainly just those in battle or in guarding situations would wear any armor. Or the Lords themselves, for status purposes. And the Samurai armor, btw, was very light and flexible, especially when compared to European armor.

3. Samurai are not faster, they use brawn to their advantage, Ninjas use speed.

What an idiotic claim. Are you trying to suggest that the Samurai learned a slower, more powerful type of sword fighting, or that they were somehow slower runners than ninjas? Are you yanking my chain here or something? Because I can't believe that someone who knows so little about this subject could be so confident in their false information. Kendo, a martial art of the Samurai sword, relies of quick and precise strikes to defeat the opponent. The katana is a very light sword that would not benefit from a lot of weight behind it. Speed and precision was key. I've taken kendo, so I know what I'm talking about. You do not.

4. A samurai knew only how to use several weapons, where as Ninjas were trained to use anything as a weapon. If a samurai was without a sword, he was a major disadvantage.

*sigh*

Have you ever heard of jujutsu before, little man? This martial arts form which dates back over two thousand years is one of many forms of fighting that every Samurai learned, and was spawned from many different weapons forms that used swords, spears, chains, staffs, daggers, and many other different kinds of weapons that the Samurai were taught to use. A Samurai was the deadliest kind of person in Japan whether they had a sword, spear, staff, or nothing.

You're really showing your knowledge on this subject.

5. The ninja clans actually served under Samurai warlords in order to deal with enemies, and during this time the Ninja clans lost very few people.

Sweet Jesus you really are getting all of your information from The Last Samurai! Go back to bed, kid.

6. The ninja clans were used up until the turn of the 20th century, when guns made then obsolete, the samurai lasted only until mid-18th, when most of then were either killed or merged with mordern society, teaching their children. Those principles would re-emerge right before world war 2.

Oh wow, where to start. The Samurai have existed as far back as 7th century, AD. The ninja weren't around for even a fraction of that time. The Samurai ruled Japan for much of its written history. The Ninja were cowardly assassins whose only method of fighting was by not letting their opponent see them for more than a second. And the end of the Samurai is dated in the 19th century, around the time of the Meiji Restoration. The wearing of swords didn't even become illegal until 1876.

Bubba, I suggest you stop before you make yourself look even more ignorant. It is you who has no idea who they are dealing with.
