The Eternal Debate
Pirates vs Ninjas Showdown
Who would win in a fight?
Fetching blurbs now... please stand byPirates win!
CaptainJB says:
I say pirates hands down. Unless they were in port that is. Ninja rely on stealth for their success and at sea there's absolutely no way to sneak up on someone. Also, if the ninja manged to board the ship without the pirate crew's knowledge there is no way enough ninja could find places to hide on that ship. They would need to strike all at once to ensure victory. As far as the argument that Shurikens were more deadly than a pirates pistols: completely idiotic. A ninja with shurikens is almost certainly more accurate but shurikens were never intended for killing blows, but rather to temporarily cripple an adversary. Usually for escape purposes when ninja failed to kill every opponent. Also, misfires and innacuracy are a big problem unless, like most, the pirate carried from 4-6 pistols at any given time in battle. Also, the blunderbuss(basically an early shotgun) was very effective at hitting people and rarely misfired. Also when considering guns, we have to realize that pirates are still in existence today using weapons that are sophisticated accurate and deadly. A ninja (if one even existed today) would be using the same techniques and weapons developed over a millennium ago while the modern pirate might have an AK-47 or an AR-15 combat rifle and some form of also deadly accurate sidearm. And possibly kevlar which would render kunai and shurikens almost entirely useless anyway. Point made.

Say what a ninja can catch a bullet are you a freaking retard?
Even there ninja technology made by Hollywood are not true.
Don't with Hollywood movies and anime have a life man!
The only technology they have are swords and some lethal arsenals.
Even in Mythbuster in Discovery channel shown and even a real life ninja admit they cannot catch bullets and arrow.
Pirates rocks because of there lethal technology guns and even in history there are still the terror of the seas and even today lol

Pirates have big freaking gun and in history they are the terror of the sea.

ninjas are as real as santa claus says:
pirates because their arguments are a lot more convincing than a ninja being able to 'catch a bullet with their teeth'

wimploe55 says:
ok, i'm really tiered of the whole ninjas are this, ninjas are that bull... The only reason their like that is because they've been romantisized and made out to be more then what they really are. They didn't master any form of martial arts or sword fighting, because they didn't have the means to. Ninja's were beings who were hired to gain information or assassinate someone, which would involve them listening in on conversations, or poisoning... Because if they ever went head on against a samurai, they were always screwed, because the samurai had training, and weapons, and numbers, they were known to be able to take out just about any ninja that crossed their path, and did it without mercy. Now, pirates are almost exactly the way they have been depicted. They were people who would sail around the sea, preying on merchant ships and killing or imprisoning people. Some were able to even take the Navy head on, like Edward Teach. He was able to obtain ships from the navy and made other pirates afraid of him just by how powerful he was. But ya, pirates only drank rum because water would go bad, but rum would also dull pain, thus allowing them to take more damage and still fight. Now, let's go supernatural, ninjas have their so called magic, but pirates have curses. These curses vary from immortality to being able to conjure storms by your rage. They also had magical weapons and artifacts as well.

Pirates would win, due to the fact that ninjas are practically extinct.

Pirates will always dominate. What most people don't realize is that very rarely are ninjas ever actually in squads. Pirates almost ALWAYS have shipcrews of dozens if not hundreds of men and woman all trained in formal swordplay. Ninja weapons also usually require exact precision to be effective, and contrary to popular belief ninjas do NOT have any form of heightened senses. Plus: guns beat melee weapons.

ThePirateKing says:
I'm going to make a few points to settle this debate once and for all and prove that pirates are better than ninjas and I'm going to be realistic about this: FIRST OFF: Pirates and Piracy have been around ALOT longer than ninjas. Piracy originated in 13th Century B.C. in the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. Ninjas came about in 14th Century A.D Japan. SECOND: Pirates were incredibly brutal, vicious killers. They weren't frequently drunk as depicted in pop culture. In fact, pirates were rarely able to get their hands on beverages such as rum due to their life at sea. Raids and Pillages idn't come often. THIRD: A ninja's skills are greatly exaggerated. That fast as lightning stuff or whatever is absolute bullshit. They're not super human, they don't have "powers" that regular people do not. LASTLY: Pirates are real. Let me explain. We know pirates exist. They're active at this very moment. A ninja is an ideal. They're almost a myth in a kind of a way. You don't ever here of ninja attacks in the news. There are no secret ninjas cults that aren't made of geeks living in their mothers' basements. The point is: The Ninja is extinct and Piracy is alive and well, END OF STORY!

Kairu Suki says:
yes, pirates have guns. but those guns only have one shot. and the guns lose accuracy after just 10 feet. after that all you have is a small club. and even if you do get shot you still have a good chance of living. ninjas used blow darts laced with blowfish poison that had accuracy for over 20 feet. one hit anywhere from that and your dead in no time. I would rather be shot by a pirates gun than shot by a ninjas poison dart.

All it would take is for a lone ninja to use his powers of stealth to sneak aboard a pirate ship after they all got drunk and passed out. The ninja could rob them blind or kill them all, or better yet, both!

Think about this, Ninjas are like predators and pirates like Aliens. Who always wins? Predators, for the same reason that Ninjas win, they are professional assassins who take their job seriously and will kill at no matter the cost. Pirates are just alcoholic thugs in colorful clothing.

Do you even have to ask? If a pirate is stalking you and you ask "who's there?", all you get is an "aaaaarrrgh!". Ask a ninja stalking you the same question and the answer is a swift shuriken to the head.

JHUE says:
ok look...yea i can see the argument for people liking pirates but lets be serious, a pirates gun fires 1 bullet at a time and seeing as a ninja has the element of stealth and surprise, the gun is useless. Pirates have cannons but seriously how ignorant do you have to be to honestly think a cannon (that only fires in 1 direction) is actually going to take out a ninja. Ninjas throw sharred glass in their oppenents eyes to blind them. They have poison darts. They have a katana. They are quiet and quick with "deadly" precision. The only time you would know if a ninja was somewhere a pirate was would be by the dead pirate that you see on the ground. And come on the person who said pirates would win because they can balance on a plant and still fight should run through a field where the grass are razor blades, the wind is poison gas, and its raining acid. 1 on 1 combat with a ninja will always result in the ninjas favor because a real ninja would kill you before u even knew what was going on. Ninjas dont have time to play around sword fighting with drunks they too busy to fight so they will kill u while in the middle of running their errands (killing other people). A true ninja (like myself) is constantly fighting battles on every continent at the same time. So go plank yourself pirate lovers and quit waisting valuable time of others because only pirates talk shit because they need to build themselves up b4 they die. NINJA OWNS ALL!!!!

How to Become a Ninja
Ask a Ninja Presents The Ninja Handbook: This Book Looks Forward to Killing You Soon
Amazon Price: $10.17 (as of 11/08/2009)
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 to any question.
