The Eternal Debate

Pirates vs Ninjas, sometimes known simply as PvN, is a debate that has been around for a long time. Many great minds tried to provide a definite and scientifically-proven answer to these questions, and failed. Who is stronger, better, more awesome, and who would win in a fight? Is it the ninjas - masters of stealth, silent, deadly, and trained in secret martial arts? Or maybe the pirates - fearless and greedy rulers of the seas? Voice your opinion below, or, if you're unsure yet, scroll down to the ninja vs pirate facts! (Intro image is from here).

ace says:

Ninja's are cool but you have to pick the guy sporting the gun. Pirate wins this one.

cadillac says:

Pirates have guns, a boat with cannons, daggers and swords enough said

MK says:

Obviously Pirates. Like hands down.

LauraFincannon says:

'tis easy ta answer. Pirates have wenches. Case Closed.

Captain Cutlass says:

Pirates, YAAAAARRR!!!!!!!!

Tennis-Storehouse says:

Pirates .. no doubt :)

Epicpirates says:

AYE MATEY!

mango cheese lover for ever says:

you know what i think that pirates are cool so hahahahahahahaha boo you

mango cheese lover for ever says:

pirates can balance on beames and fight at the same time so definitly pirates

Kells says:

NINJA'S ARE PANZZY's

Andrew says:

It's fun times with booze, treasure and wenches (not necessarily in this order) versus solitute and hard training for years. As for who would win in a fight... I'd bet on a drunk pirate :)

BLee says:

When be the last time ye've seen ninjas with buxom wenches?

Your Wost Nightmare says:

Ninjas cant grow beards so they lose...

Russian says:

Pirates. Absolutely!

Scrac says:

Drunks pwn druggies anyday. Take a history lesson ;)

me says:

of course pirates win damnit. they get all the booty!

Chilipoker says:

We had a party, Pirates vs Ninjas. There were 3 times more pirates then ninjas.

Captain Shagohad says:

Pirates because as we all know a cannon to the midrift is no fun.
Also Monkey D Luffy vs. Naruto would be a good fight. But Luffy would dominate in the end. Don't even get me started on Solo vs Ryu Hayabusa.
Epis battle right there!

MarcoG says:

Pirates are the best, because they just arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

fankyfoo says:

nija's job maybe more boring than pirate but face the fact their stronger

Chadrew says:

Drinking merely makes the pirates better at fighting :)

BillyBones says:

Face hiding, sneaky black wearin' ninjas would cower in the face of a real pirate. Hangin' in a dojo and drinkin' green tea makes little girly men, sailin' swaggerin' swaerin' and swillin' make for formidable opponents...just ask Popeye!

JackSparrow says:

A savvy pirate like Captain Jack Sparrow would win easy... just dishonour him and he will kill himself... Job done! Be Lucky!

BFuniv.com says:

Pirates and ninjas are both amateurs. Why don't they turn pro and go into politics. Politicians get wenches, do dark and sneaky things, and then they steal you blind - enjoying both worlds.

Jarannis says:

Pirates. On the one hand, they were bloodthirsty looters. On the other, they actually assisted in the negotiation of free trade in the West Indies.

gratch says:

Pirates, of course.

Jacky says:

Pirates, Ninjas Cant Swim

matt says:

pirate

Ninjas win!

Lena says:

DUH ninjas win! Pirates are definitely pretty sweet but I mean, they have only one eye, only one leg, and are too drunk to fight the ninjas! The ninjas are smart and kick butt!!

Hugh Gerection says:

hi zach nijas all the way

Mike Roch says:

ninjas would kick ass mo fo

ben dover says:

ninjas win there freakin awsome....hi jameson

jaysun says:

ninjas becuase they are sneakier and faster. and can fight better

Coty says:

ninjas becuase they can fight better and have better weapons

DaJer says:

Ninjas are also known to rip totally sweet and/or awesome guitar solo's and kill people with their wickedly Sweet AND/OR awesomely leet Music!

oliver says:

ARE THERE PIRATE IN MORTAL KOMBAT.............I DONT THINK SO!!!!!
and beside u can be a pirate just by stealing things from ppl on a boat ninjas need YEARS OF TRAINING!!!

Willard says:

Ninjas have the element of surprise on their hands, and with the weapons and skill they have it doesn't even make it a fair fight.

cratee says:

obviously ninjas

Darknesschaos says:

wenches? pfft femninjas in fishnets <3

Josh Baker says:

It's Ninjas all the way, they have all sorts of skills, guns wont help the pirates as they wont the be able to see the ningas as they are masters of stealth for a start!

IndyKid says:

Why is this even a question?

Treasures-By-Brenda says:

Definitely for sure absolutely maybe Ninjas?

kiwisoutback says:

Gotta say ninjas would kick butt.

rstanley7 says:

Obviously ninjas watch some naruto Kage no Bushin. jutsu!!!!!

ANDRI says:

ninja has many skill. i have write about ninja skill

mjd4evr says:

Ninjas!! i've seen em teleport..pirates tel-their-mommies they saw ninjas under the bed..

sho'nuff says:

I say ninja! Ninjas could drink all the rum in the world and
still not be drunk. Pirates are weak!

pie beats cheese says:

Ninjas will always win because:
They can catch bullets in their teeth.
They can remove someone's spleen in one swift motion.
They can remove their shadow if necessary.

Pirates will always lose because:
They're fat (decreases speed and agility)
They're drunks (decreases potential fighting skills)
And they say arggggggh which obviously doesn't help anything
=)

JustKat00 says:

The ninja's of course. Like you said masters of stealth, and trained in the secrets of martial arts. To become a ninja is very honorable. Pirates are just ruthless murders who do what they do for sheer joy and profit.

Rewards4life says:

The Ninja. A pure killing machine, even more so than the Terminator as the Ninja has stealth.... Who would not want to be a Ninja, really!!!

Sami says:

definitly ninjas
u cant beat what u cant see

Silenced says:

Ninjas have already won we're the only ones still around.

virtuallinda says:

Ninjas are so stealth you can't see them to count them!

Mr, Obvious says:

There are still doubts? On one hand, you have people who train in the art of killing, on the other you have a bunch of drunkards who know how to plunder. It's a no brainer...

june says:

ninjas. no contest.

RoRodaNinja says:

Hands down ninjas win.

I says:

Ninjas are better because they were more involved in stealth and special ops whereas pirates were more like infantryman

JustBon-Crochet-Designs says:

Tough choice...but I'll go with the Ninjas!

Everything known about ninjas.

  • Train in secret monasteries from the age of 4.
  • Ninja abilities include: appearing anywhere instantly, catching bullets with their hands, and kicking your ass when they're 100 meters away.
  • Fight using shurikens, daggers, and their bare hands. There are 312 things in an average room they can kill you with... Including the room itself.

Ask a Ninja Presents The Ninja Handbook: This Book Looks Forward to Killing You Soon

Amazon Price: $10.17 (as of 07/05/2009)Buy Now

After much debate and in a spirit of morbid amusement, the International Order of Ninjas has chosen to produce The Ninja Handbook, the first-ever secret ninja training guide specifically designed for the non-ninja. Most people who handle these delicate, deadly pages will die (probably in an elaborately horrific and painful manner). But whether your journey lasts five seconds or five days or (rather inconceivably) five years, all those who bravely take up this text and follow the tenets and trials laid out within will die knowing they were as ninja as they possibly could have been.

Pirate Facts 

Scientific facts about pirates.

  • Pirates drink rum or grog all day. These must be consumed either straight from the barrel, or a goblet large enough to be used as a weapon.
  • Are obnoxious and smelly. Hygiene is not a priority for a pirate; use of soap is uncommon. Spilling rum all over oneself is a perfect replacement for a shower.
  • A real pirate must wear either a bandana, a three-cornered hat, or an eye-patch. They might use a hook or a peg leg when needed, but these are usually reserved for captains.
  • Possess big ships equipped with canons and flags of skull and bones. Make the traitors walk the plank.
  • Fight using pistols, rifles and swords. Yelling insults during a fight is mandatory.
  • Are only interested in loot and booty (both kinds). Refer to all women as "wenches".
  • None of them are rich since even if they find treasure, they loose it all in one day by gambling.
  • The decline in number of pirates is believed to have caused the global warming (see the church of Flying Spaghetti Monster).
  • The dictionary of a pirate usually includes "Arrrr!", "Avast!", and "Ahoy!"."Arrrr", for one, is a perfect answer for any question.

pirates...beware... wrote

Ninjas would slit a pirates throat before he could scream, thus proving the stealthinness, which is important. Pirates use guns, which are LOUD. Yes, pirates drink, which might score them more points...but ninjas drink also (drunken master...anyone?). Only when the drunken master drinks, he's not sloppy about it...he'll probably kick a pirate in half....barefoot...while the pirate is so hammered drunk that he has no time to aim his gun. Cannons can't measure up to the speed of a well trained assasin. Come on.... do you really think captian hook would ever stand a chance against the black mamba?? I think not.
