The eternal debate

 

Pirates vs Ninjas, sometimes known simply as PvN, is a debate that has been around for while. Who do you think is stronger, better, more awesome, and who would win in a fight? Is it ninjas - the 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!

The pirates vs ninjas showdown! 

Who would win in a fight?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Pirates win!

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

fgbfx says:

Vikings, they eat ninjas ans shit pirates!

but since vikings are closer to pirates, i guess my vote goes toward pirates

X. says:

End of discussion.

Calagara says:

The main attraction for me? a Ninja is TRAINED, a Pirate INGRAINED. So it really is just a matter of nurture VS nature . . .

Elpatch says:

Arrr a pirate always gets his booty... yarrrrr

anulman says:

Pirates. Everybody knows that the Ninja's two deadly weaknesses are water and lawsuits from the RIAA (since they can't hide from either of them!)

Josso says:

Pirates have Software and other Appz...
They only missing a Macbook. :p

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr says:

Pirates have more Software

Nova says:

Who has wenches?

Oh ya. Pirates.

anon says:

Pirates get all the good stuff. cannons. guns. ships. booty. both types really

silent_death says:

Just one thing...pirates have ships...and cannons....and parrots

catchquests says:

pirates are supposed to be mean, stealers, cheaters and gungho's! but im voting for htem because of johnny depp! lol!

i love ninjas for their true martial arts prowess, but still, their still mean he he

famousmortimer says:

It's going to be a good battle, no doubt about it. If Ryan Hamburger has taught us anything it's that ninjas are godless killing machines capable of split second death dealing. But the thing about pirates is that they have lasers. And really, whats better than a freakin laser? I mean, like, a ninja could come out of anywhere and kill a pirate, but if its an even fight the lasers win the day. Go pirates!

Georgie Curtis says:

PIRATES! PIRATES! PIRATES!
i have to stick up for the crew or i'll get thrown off the ship.

eits says:

I say a pirate like J. Silver would kick your lousy ninja butt right back to Nanking in a second!

Zyr says:

There is a reason you never see the ninjas: they're all at home, munching on snacks and getting fat in front of the television.

mindyourhead says:

Pirates would fight dirty. Go pirates!

judd says:

ya baby ya

AMK says:

Pirates, But not because of combat strategy. But because there more interesting. Lets face it, Ninjas are plain and boering after a short while. They have no sence of color and they just hit people and break things whereas Pirates steal and make complete idiots of themselves and wear anything they can get there hands on. There ships are facinating. What does a ninja have? Numchucks? :)

fefe says:

Ninjas are dumb if they try to sneak on to a pirate ship.

Arrr says:

Ninjas are mercenaries, pirates are free. Pirates win. Thanks for playing.

andrewmccluskey says:

Pirates 'cos they're inherently musical -

Charlesbridge says:

In "The Legend of Hong Kil Dong", a Korean folktale, Hong Kil Dong was a pirate of sorts, a bandit at any rate, and he thwarted the ninja by being smarter. Plus he had magic on his side.

LaraineRose says:

With all their gold and jewels - they'll dazzle them to death.

UniqueMystique says:

Pirates, hands down. Ever see a Ninja with an entourage of wenches?

Ninjas win!

Designfire says:

Ninjas would win because they could sneak up on the pirates before they new they were there. And even though regular ninjas might get sea sick on pirate vessels, the ninja turtles are immune to that I'm sure ;).

Rich Grundy says:

Ninjas

drizzt says:

Land = Ninjas, Sea = Pirates.

nessiee says:

I'm guessing the ninjas would win in that kind of battle. Sure, the pirates can be ruthless... but I'd think they wouldn't even see a good ninja coming, and then, it would already be too late!

Gray says:

Pirates only have their super powers on the sea. And even then they won't be able to take a ninja, unless the ninja has AID's or something.

Buncy says:

The element of stealth would probably tip the favour towards the ninjas too much in the inital stages of a fight.

Scott says:

The ninjas would pwn so hard!! The pirates would all be dead and oh noes!! haxorz they would scream but teh ninjas are teh admin and have 1337 console skillz.

Bob says:

Ninjas would freaking own, its just like bam what happened? all the pirates are dead! oh noes!!

Nick says:

Ninjas can kill all the pirates and nobody will ever know they did it.

fong says:

pirates can't see ninjas coming!

Arthur Reed says:

Tony Danza

Taiju Kage Bushin no Jutsu says:

As a ninja I have already killed several pirates.

ryan says:

tony jaa would beat them both

BlueBeard says:

Vikings. But for the sake of the argument, I'll toss my vote for ninjas.

ninjaFTW says:

imagine a fight between ninjas and pirates .... it'll be pirates swinging the swords in the air, coz they can't see the ninjas, and then they start falling down dead coz the ninjas kicked their asses from a 100 m away

O Sensei says:

Pirates aren't even trained or anything. Ninjas went through extensive physical and mental training. Pirates were just losers who couldn't get jobs, so they just stole from trade ships.

Awesomtastic says:

Ninjas could sneak up and stab the pirates! Come on now! You can't even see the mother fuckers!

pooper says:

ninjas

Jay says:

definitely Ninja's because all Ninja's need to be efficient killers is some sort of surface to be able to walk on, even a ship. Pirates are only good on their ships, on land their drunken, or unconcious looters with no real organization. Ninja's all the way.

BitchSlap says:

They are all dead. I mean, the pirates at least. Who knows for sure about ninjas?

Robin says:

Ninjas could get both kinds of booty without you even knowing. :]

Jan says:

Half the pirates dont even know what theyre doing.

zac says:

Ninjas would sneak onto the boats.

JAV010 says:

I think ninjas win ! :D

usuck says:

Yeah, I'd rather not be stuck on a boat full of men with scurvy.

j says:

Ninja!

Matt says:

Ditto SHAWN!

Dude says:

Ninjas.

Wyvernrider says:

No question needed.

Chris says:

Ninjas would have to win. Have you heard of the 37th ninja parade that went through a small town unseen again?

Ninja Facts 

Everything known about ninjas.

  • Wear cool black clothes all the time, in which they can hide an infinite number of shurikens, knives and other weapons.
  • 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.
  • Are so stealthy they can live in your house for days without anyone noticing.
  • Follow the code and kill themselves dramatically if they fail.
  • Meditate and contemplate their existence. Ninjas don't care about material things like wealth.
  • If you see a ninja, either he is not a real ninja, or he wanted you to see him before he kills you.

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.

Danger, Mr. Pirate, danger!
