Spartans:strenght, sword, axe, spear and shield.
vs
ninja's: speed, stealth,shurikens ,kunais, chain, katana, and smokescreen.
its hard to imagine but i think the ninja will win cause they might do the pirate vs ninja battle one day and thats one of the ultimate debates, plus i think it will be a cool battle to watch.The next show of Deadliest Warrior: spartan vs ninja, who will win?
I believe the ninja would be victorious. Simply because, like stated, a ninja is trained for a one on one duel, and not to mention being able to strike at any distance with great efficiency. A seemingly harmless, but very lethal blowgun from afar, to a dagger or shuriken from medium range to close range. Now, a typical Ninja did not wield a katana, but a weapon known as a ninjat艒, a straight bladed, square guard sword. These blades weren't very sharp, but they were light weight and provided the ninja with a quick fatal strike to the chest.
A ninja would also deploy the uses of caltraps to disable an opponent's charge, or retreat, as well as a shuriken for a quick escape. Shurikens were hardly used offensively, but if they were. They were used from the shadows, and often dipped in poison so that they could harm an opponent without giving themselves away.
A ninja would also use pressure points in hand-to-hand combat being masters of ninjutsu. Striking from behind an opponent, or the shadows, or using their speed and agility and cunning minds to open their guard, a ninja was deadly to any warrior. Even the fabled samurai.
Now, moving onto the Spartans. Armed with a sword, a spear, and a helmet, boots, and a shield, they were more armored then a ninja, but not be much. A Spartan may have been ruthless, and strong, but they were fairly quick. Relying on formations, military tactics, and using the use of their spears and shields until their opponent closed the distance, would it be of great effect to a ninja, even an unarmored one? It could, but not for long. The chance of hitting a ninja before he hits you, even with a shield in your hand, was low.
Now I have seen both episodes, and I understand the show is based on the devastating power of their weapons, but I believe with a ninja's speed, agility, grace, and pure cunning technique, I believe it would stand up to even the all-mighty Spartan warriors. A shield may stop a sword, or club... but it will not stop a well placed dart from the shadows.
I think that the victor will be the Ninja although i would like it to be the Spartan. That would be one of the only weaknesses for a Spartan because of the ninjas fighting style. I believe that the ninjas long range weapons is the main reason for this because the ninja would kill the spartan before.

The next show of Deadliest Warrior: spartan vs ninja, who will win?I think the Spartan will kick ***. In battle determination is key plus ninjas rely a lot on not being seen. Once spotted he is done. Plus he will go home with a nice collection of shurikens attached to his shield.

The next show of Deadliest Warrior: spartan vs ninja, who will win?I think that the spartan should be able to win due to the armor carried, but one thing i have not heard anyone mention is the material the weopons are made out of. Remember that the Spartans carried armor and weapons made of BRONZE. The ninja carries a folded steel katana much stronger than bronz

Many of you have no idea what you're talking about with a ninja. Ninjas use stealth as they often faed being outnumbered. Remember, their targets were often lords who were guarded by multiple samarai. Stealth was not an option-- it was a necessity. But in head-to-head combat,

a ninja was VERY lethal. The setting is important to note as well. A spartan used usually a long spear. A ninja's hand-to-hand weapons were mostly very close range like the wakasashi (a small katana). In an indoor duel, the Spartan's spear is useless and outside, if he doesn't kill the ninja be

fore he gets close-in, he won't be able to effectively use that spear. Remember also, armor and shields are useful, but they carry their disadvantages. Added weight means slower speed and if one arm is apprehended by a shield, it means less maneuverability. Plus, please study Ninjitsu. When it co

mes to combat training, the ninja CLEARLY has the advantage. If you stripped both opponents of armor and weapon, while the spartan would be strong and granted would have some hand-to-hand prowess, the ninja is sure to win. (Sorry for the length. they don't offer much for comments..)

Clearly the Spartans would win because ninjas were meant to sneak up on enimies and ninjas are basically guerilla killers. Once The Spartans had a shield wall up everybody but ninjas are protected. Dont forget ninjas weren't known for there skill as a team and there is definately no way a ninja

In a one on one duel both are more or less equal. However this question is like Jason Bourne vs John Rambo so both have their advantages.

I think the victor will almost surely be the Spartan. Ninjas are assassins: they rely on stealth. In a head on battle, they really don't stand a chance against the Spartan. Also, the spartan is equipped with plate covering nearly the entire body so most of if not all of the ninjas weapons will be rendered useless. After all, as an assassin, the ninjas weapons wouldn't be designed to kill a fully armored warrior; an assassin's target would be unarmed and vulnerable. Yes, ninja's specialize in one on combat because being an assassin means getting a killing strike on a specific target and then running away, but that doesn't mean ninja's are more efficient in duels, in fact, a duel means taking away the ninja's greatest advantage: stealth. The only way I imagine the ninja might win a fight with the spartan is if they poisoned
their shuriken or knives and managed to find an opening somewhere in the spartan's armor, but then, the chance is slim and the victor is decided by 1000 matches. The match up seemed a bit unfair to me to be honest. I think the ninja should have been matched up with an oppenent with less armor. Or maybe a ninja vs pirate fight to keep the ninja and pirate boners happy.
I think that in a duel the ninja might have the edge. Ninjas are not necessarily better trained, but their fighting style seems to emphasize individual combat, whereas the Spartan was trained as a soldier to fight in formation with a unit of his comrades.
A ninja would likely stay out of melee range and thow poisoned stars, or shoot poisoned blowgun darts or arrows with great accuracy at a heavily armored Spartan warrior. Even if the projectile hits were not lethal, they would slow down and possibly incapacitate the Spartan and then the ninja could draw his blade to finish him off as he lay exhausted on the ground. The Spartan would be able to throw his usual complement of one or two spears. If it connected the ninja would be in big trouble, since they typically wore minimal, if any, armor.
If the Spartan was able to force the ninja into melee, then he would have the edge with his undoubtedly heavier armor and shield. A shield is a major defensive advantage for a warrior, and can also be used offensively.
As always, when you are dealing with trained killers, in 100 battles between equally skilled warriors, the result will be a lot of dead ninjas and Spartans. Even the superior warrior in will not likely win every duel due to the simple randomness of real battles.
Well considering the shield and armor of the spartan the ninjas projectiles will not reach the spartan, as for close range the spartans spear far out reaches the katana so the ninja would be impalled before being able to reach the target if it becomes a close range battle and if it boils down to sword on sword it will be armor of the spartan to panjamas of the ninja ... both are highly trained and skilled on how to kill but in the end i say spartan
The ninja would win. Very skillful. Not to say the Spartans are not skillful but the Spartan would be very limited against the ninja. It would almost be like the Apache vs Gladiator debut. Another thing though BRAINS do matters alot. You can have all the skills in the world and still loose to a beginner.
i don't know if anyone has noticed this really yet, but so far every battle has been a strength figure vs a speed figure, and both times the strength figure has lost. as much as i admire the Spartans, i believe they will most likely lose.
I go with Ninja,just like with samurai,ninjas win with speed and brains while spartans,like vikings were mostly about strength and power.So Ninjas win.
uhm maybe you missed something but spartans were not heavily armored in plate....
yes they carried a shield but wore minimal armor.
spartans were probably trained better...
but i say ninjas....
i haven't been wrong about the imapchi(sp) and the samurai yet lol
