Who was better? Samurai or Ninja

[kunoichi]

I think ninjas are better because they are fast, have cool attacks, and can dissapear and....stuff!

[masayuki]

the ninga was indeed powerful but the samurai were no doubt 100 fold better then the ninga

the ninga only held the element of suprise and the ninga is his masters shadow the master would always be a samurai.....

samurai however were of a higher class in society and ninga came from the pesentry more or less

in all out combat it was highly unlikely for a ninga to win over a samurai if he marched aginst them but when the samurai were resting a ninga stood a better chance

oh ya shinobi are nothing more then spies and were used to influence people to a single side and didn't really do any of the actuall fighting......

ronin were samurai who were out of work and would be lower class because they would not have as much fighting experience as a samurai who trained day and night.......

but by far the warrior monk was the best and even nodachi samurai were unlikly to beat them but u didn't put warrior monk in your polls so oh well

here's my list

warrior monk
samurai
ninga
ronin
shinobi
