Age Old question...

[kopfhorer1]

I too would vote for the ninja. The Jimmy_James' assertions notwithstanding, I think they're sexier, even if not conventionally so! Strategy versus brute force and so on.

Although in a fight, I would place my money on a ninja. I think pirates are cooler, but I think a ninja would win in a fight. They're more disciplined and skilled. Pirates are a bit of a rabble. 😛 Their main strengths are numbers and intimidation, and in a one-on-one ninja fight, these wouldn't really factor.

I'll put my money on numbers and higher quality weapons. Remember that a cutlass made of hardened steel forged in the 1710s will be higher strength than any POS weapon that a ninja would own. Ninja were poor people, farmers, folks like that. Their weapons were of the lowest quality. Sometimes sharpened wood. Not very awe-inspiring!

Pirates didn't make their weapons from wood. They used it all to build their giant ships from which they could bombard Kyoto harbor using cannons.

You're forgetting all the other ninja weapons; chain whips, grappling hooks, shurrikens, nunchucks, sais, and so forth. Plus, anyone that's played Mortal Kombat KNOWS that ninjas can teleport- numbers don't matter when you can teleport.

If pirates kept their numbers, then I would put my money on them. But assuming it was a one-on-one fight, I'd still probably go with the ninja.

Still think pirates are cooler, though. 😛

In this case, ninjas. They're so stealthy a pirate wouldn't even be able to get in a blow (if more than one was needed to take the pirate down, that is).

Okay. Look.

I'll answer the question once and for all. I'll bang a pirate, then I'll bang a ninja and tell you who did it better for me.

I'll have a deadman switch that way if the ninja chick gets any bright ideas, it's FUCKING CURTAINS for her.

LMAO

I love sex and explosives

I have to disagree upon the sexy ninja thing. In reality, 99% of ninjas were scrawny, spindly men. The other 1% who were women, were prostitutes who would cut a dude's throat while snoggin' him. I don't know about you, but that doesn't really turn me on much.

Re: the images given. One is a pirate chick with an awesome gun who plundered ships, fought the King's navy. Loved and hated by all. The ninja pics are both animu, which for me at least, is a one-way ticket to ride on the "Disinterest Express". The pirate pic looks like a comic book or 90s cartoon show, which both equal WIN.

A little critique on those pics. Why does the first ninja look totally baffled? Is she getting to see a Klein Bottle form before her very eyes? Okay, I'll admit I love her hips, but she looks like she just saw a Michael Bay movie and she's trying to figure out whether or not she should go through with seppuku which is Japanese for "o no eye did nut purform 5000% uv mai lifes work i shud kill mahself" thing. Japemo.

Just my tuppence.

Lol, in reality, how sexy can a pirate get? Weeks, months on the sea without any soap or hygiene. Oh, yes, that's really sexy. Drunk all the time as well. I don't even want to start thinking what manner of things lived in their beards.

So, sorry, not a turn-on for me. Same goes for women... imagine someone living a hard life on the sea and remaining sexy... not likely to happen.

As for the styles, I pretty much prefer anime style. And the expression is kinda cute to me, whereas the pirate chick... well... looks a tad bit tomboyish to me. Her gun is a classical pirate gun of the era, and I pretty much prefer shurikens and swords to such weaponry.
