Ninjas vs. Pirates

[Cheezy the Wiz]

See, the killer is that a ninja can do everything a pirate does and then some; a pirate simply cannot be ninjaeseque to the degree that a ninja can be piratesque.

Umm... Ninjas and samurai both have katanas...

cutlass>katana
pistol>throwing star

 

[Perfection]

What about american ninjas and asian pirates?

(non-Asian) American ninjas aren't accepted as ninjas by other ninjas, Asian pirates, of course, exist because pirates don't discriminate.

A ninja stole my girlfriend once, and I didn't even know until a year later.

Katanas are some of the best-built swords in the world. They routinely cut through other swords without thinking about it.

pistol>throwing star

Sure, if you see him coming, something not likely given the perpetually drunken nature of pirates as they are depicted in this thread.

that just goes to show that ninjas are more reliant on their expensive equipment more than their skill.

would you care to explain to me how a ninja would sneak up to a pirate in the middle of the ocean?

Plus pirates have cooler words/expressions. Like "batten down the hatches!" and "blunderbuss".

No, using a pistol instead of a throwing star is substituting expensive equipment for skill.

At night?

Maybe ninjas are saying that when they sneak into your Ryokan, you don't know! Do you speak Japanese?

Why would a ninja say "batten down the hatches"? He has no hatches to batten down.

Cutlasses are actually rather poor weaponry. They're brittle, flimsy, and have weak tensile strength. Due to the way katanas are structured, they're much stronger. They can even cut through a lead bullet.

pistol>throwing star

If we're talking about pistols from the 1500-1700's, then it's quite the opposite. They were inaccurate, took a long time to reload, and broke often. If you mean modern pistols, well... yeah. Those do win.

Actually, they use other weapons, and usually just use the good-old-fashioned "sneak around, throw knives that might be poisoned at enemy" tactic. It's the samurai that use the awesome katanas all the time.

They sneak up when the pirate is on land, in a tavern, really, really drunk.

Also, pistols are useless when waterlogged, something that happened to pirates and anyone who happened to be on the sea quite a lot back in the 1600's-1800's. Why do you think they carried swords in the first place?

Pocket door?

Ninjas used shortened katanas called ninjato.

Pocket door?

Shiver me timbers!

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Exactly.

ten char

You don't need cool sayings when you can kill a man with the silent beauty of a falling lotus.

Pirates just know how to live the good life.

But cutlasses look so much cooler.

Which will be a much shorter one when he gets a poison dart in his back.
