Samurai

Lived by the sword and died by it. Samurais had a code of honor unlike the ninja. Samuaris death was more glorified then a ninjas death. Yet both used katanas and were both skilled in combat. Though Samuari's used armor while ninja didn't. I believe a Samuari could win on a battle-field where he could see the ninja. As well I believe that Samuari are much stronger then a ninja in strength and skills.

But this only my opinion.. So what is yours?

Ninja

ninja...the match just isn't as debatable as with the pirate thread....leather armor is too weak, two-handed sword equals far slower swing...the only i can see samurai winning is the fact that there were prob. way more samurai than ninjas (outnumbering factor)....u know what might be interesting Spartan Hoplite vs Roman Legionary (both individual and in groups)

Samurai!
No argument.

samurai jack was such a good show ^_^

but then again he never carried the armor and could jump like fantasy ninjas could but was still a honorable samurai...i would have to say he is a ninjarai ...sounds liek a pretty nice ranking
