One thing I do know is that the "Samurai" had different degrees and jobs..Many of them were also assassins..Another major fact is that if the samurai did not make their kill they had to commit suidice by their own sword (The Katana). Also, the word samurai basically translates to, "to serve". So however their master...or lord..or whichever word you want to use or that...wanted them to serve...They did so.

Now, with Ninjas they were mainly used for assassination. So they had extreme training in that category. They were also used for when a samurai wouldn't be needed because of the 'honor' code..

All in all..If you put a ninja up against a samurai in a battlefiel where they actually had to fight head on...More than likely the samurai would win.

If you put them in a situation where the ninja had more advantages...More than likely the ninja would win...

Either way..everyone should think about the fact that both of these groups came from Japan...So Japan's history kicks ass...and they had some bad asses...xD; ▶ Reply to This
