Of course, the ninja has the ability to strike without the pirate knowing... especially a drunk pirate.

Are you kidding me? Ninjas flip out and kill people ALL THE TIME! Everyone knows that. It's not even a contest. The ninja would just see the pirates hat and not like it so he would cut off his head. It's really quite simple.

But ninjas still have some sort of code of honor that they are bound by. For the pirates, they're sort of guidelines... So the pirate would do things that the ninja wouldn't.

If I'm a pirate, and a ninja is flipping and jumping at me, I'll pull out my gun and shoot him. End of story. Posts: 3852 | Registered: Feb 2002

And then the ninja would grab the bullet in midair and throw it back at you and kill you, 'cause ninjas can do that.

Okay see... here is my take on things. If the pirate happens to be Johnny Depp's character in Pirates of the Caribbean, the pirate wins for shear charm and wit. If the ninja is an actual ninja, than it's the ninja. If the ninja is just Michael Dudikoff pretending to be a ninja, well then it all depends on which American Ninja movie he's representing. The first one... he gets away with a severe beating. The second one... he deserves to be stripped. The third one... well I don't think he was in that one so I guess he gets to walk away but the ninja throws a star at him just to scare him a bit.

I think while the ninja and pirate are fighting they would enentually agree to join forces, and then the ninjas would actually rob ships secretly and the pirates would then blowup the ships with cannons that shot giant throwing stars. Posts: 2332 | Registered: Jul 2003

I'm sorry, as a ninja-in-training, I'd say a ninja would win any day. Pirates are just not stealthy enough. SNEAKY!!!

If the ninja is a smart ninja and therefore attacks the pirate sneakily, the ninja will win. If the ninja attacks the pirate from the front, the pirate will win (especially if the pirate is hottie Capt. Jack Sparrow).

The ninja would win before the pirate even knew there was a contest, d'uh.
Ninja specifically eschew any codes of honor. They'd do things the scurviest of pirates would wince away from. The shuriken are frequently poisoned, and besides the ninja could hide so the pirate wouldn't even see the shuriken being thrown at him. Ninja are also expert in the use of gunpowder as well, and unless the ninja was stupid enough to get close to the pirate (the ninja wouldn't be), the pirate would miss.
Sheesh! If you people are gonna go for these kinds of comparisons, at least be halfway accurate! Pirate would win, *mutter mutter* amateurs;)

It seems to me that we're neglecting to specify the actual perameters of the "fight". If, for example, it was a battle over who looks best in formalwear, then the ninja, in his classic black, has a definate advantage. If, on the other hand, the two are battling for supremecy in the ability to accesorise, then it'll be hard for anyone to beat the rougish impression that can be established by cannons, large hooped ear-rings, gold teeth and a Macaw parrot...
If we are going historically, Pirates were untrained deck hands who had little formal martial training. They were bullies on the oceans. Ninja's, however, had lifetimes of training.
So if we are talking historically, fighting to the death, the Ninja wins.
If we are talking about movie Pirates verses movie Ninja's, the winner would be Jason in the hockey mask, at least until the sequel.
Musically, however, we must assume in any battle of the bands, that Pirates would beat up on the silent Ninja killers. While operas and musicals abound with Pirates (Pirates of Penzance anyone?), I can not think of one decent singing Ninja.

The ninja would kick it---they are all powerful and stealthy. But Pirates have bashing weapons----cannons, muskets, swords. And Pirates are sexy---so he would win with the ladies....but ninjas are sexy too-
Oh dear god, this is an argument I cannot figure out. Posts: 463 | Registered: Oct 2003

Pirates generally weren't too sexy. What with the scurvy and the lack of grooming. At least ninjas leave something to the imagination. And as for as the history books go, the pirates rarely got into fights. Generally it was less costly for a ship to hand over its cargo than risk being damaged. If the pirates did find themselves in a fight, they'd usually lose. They weren't known for their big, expensive well-made ships and cannons. They were a ragtag band the lot of them. Ninjas, on the other hand, when there was killing to do they get the killing done. So, 1 on 1, ninjas win every time.
No, if it was a ninja in a dingy against a full fledged pirate ship, that might be a little trickier. Assuming the pirates notice the dingy.
quote: Pirates are sexy? But what about the poor hygeine?
Hello?? Ever since Captain Jack Sparrow, pirates have ceased to be dirty and disgusting, savvy? Now they are most definitely sexy.
I think all you ninja-supporters are wrong. A pirate (especially Captain Jack Sparrow *sigh*) would just kick the ninjas butt before he could pull any of his "cool tricks".

Exactly, hansenj, well said. Capt. Jack Sparrow is the sexiest guy in the world and that, of course, makes him cooler and tuffer than anyone else, especially scrawny ninjas.

Okay, first of all I've been watching The Little Ninja lately. Ninjai maybe a little boy and a scrawny ninja, but he is an AWESOME ONE! So, all I have to say is: if Ninjai was up against a pirate, that pirate wouldn't have a prayer.

Ninjas would win. I mean...kunai, giant shuriken, the Sharingan eye, the Lightning Edge, Kage Bunshin no Jutsu...*looks around at the confused peoples* Well, manga ninjas, anyway.

The ninja would definetly kill all, especially if it is Naruto or any of those guys. Yeah pirates have cannons and muskets but can they hit the stealthy and quich ninjas? NO they cant! And how can a pirate use his wits and charms when he would be dead before he could open his mouth? They cant!

The Pirate and Ninja, may be equally matched, go through a grueling day of battle and sit exausted looking at the destruction of the room around them. Then they just may decide to call an honorable truce to enjoy one last repass. In the course of the meal, the ninja removes its mask revealing a beautiful..."Ninjette". The pirate and the Ninja fall madly in love eventually having a child, who, masters the skills of both parents and conquers the world through an incredible campaign of dark assasination and outright swashbuckling.

My son studied there for 4 years and reach brown belt with a black stipe. Never finished his black belt testing. This guy studied with the 34th Grandmaster of the 9 schools of ninjitsu over in Japan. He is 10th degree Dan.

well, according to the Best Page in the Universe, pirates win. Why? Becuase they're pirates, they're the best just on principle.
To quote the ruler of the universe.
quote:First of all, I'm a pirate. That alone makes me rule over everyone. Pirates by definition rule because they're so mean.
However, with two great forces meeting one another, other arch rivals will arrive, like robots. This will ensure a destuction on a greater scale, now assuming the pirate is defeated by the combined powers of the rest, then the ninja seems to be the winner, unless defeated by robot.
However, Fighter from 8-Bit Theater has shown without a doubt that he is the superior on multipleoccasions This battle cannot be finished due to the amount of forces involved.
However, if one were to make a robot/ninja/lumberjack/pirate/fighter/angsty anime teen/mecha pilot/cowboy hybrid...

Historically speaking, Dan_Raven, the ninja wouldn't stand a chance.
All the training in the world won't stop a bullet.
And please remember that while pirate crew members may have been scurvy ridden flea colonies, their captains were often trained military men.

I'd say It depends on the situation wheather which one wins. If the both are standing faceing together on some random location, and the pirate has his gun I'd say it's pretty much either could win. maybe both die. the ninja could throw surikens and the pirate could shoot, whoevers faster, and has beter aim wins. however if the pirate doesn't know he's supposed to be fighting a ninja he would be dead. The same goes for the ninja but with a lower probability.
I also fail too see how a pairate's sexyness and cannons can help him from a ninja.

How tough can such a ninja be, made of flour and cheese and air? Little french dainty. . . no match for a swarthy pirate.

You're kidding. You have to be. Ever seen the cover to Morgan Llewellyn's 'Grana?' I rest my case.
quote:and [how can] cannons can help him from a ninja
Watch the opening battle sequence to 'Glory.' When you get done being disgusted, you will be enlightened on how exactly a cannon can aid a pirate in defeating his foes.

But anyway, it depends on which ninja and which pirate. It it was the Dread Pirate Roberts, from Princess Bride, he would easily kill the ninja and say something incredibly witty while he was at it.
If, on the other hand, it was the Ninja character from Final Fantasy, then he would easily kill all 9 of the pirates, just because they are so wimpy. Although it would be hard to get the Ninja upgrade without killing the pirates first, so it would probably end up in a temporal paradox, which gives an inherent advantage to the Star Trek characters. Then the wizard would wipe out everyone.
