which is cooler? a ninja or a pirate? your reason.
example of a ninja is naruto and for pirate is one piece. could not think of other anime.

oh god… the thread was fine before i read that last line....
…..................................I'm very tempted to say in b4 lock!
But, since I'm on a ONE PIECE SITE (yes, One Piece has pirates), I'm going to say pirates are cooler!
me aswell
I think there are not many other example of pirates, that is also why One Piece rocks. Ninja theme can be very cool too though (not naruto!). Like the manga and anime of basilisk or samurai deeper kyo or samurai champloo and although the last 2 carry the name samurai, I find them to be more ninja-based. . .
samurais are not the same with ninja in case you didn't know dude.
Keep it cool people. We're just talking about personal preferences, nothing objective. Remember that.
…
Anyhow, of the two, I personally prefer vikings. :X Pirates seem great but unless you give them mystical powers they seem firmly ground in the realm of historical fiction. Even the Monkey Island pirates had dashes of modern neuroticism and spoiling to give them spice.
I don't know about "ninjas in popular culture", having never seen any ninja media except for Naruto which is hardly what purported all those stereotypes in the 1980's. Oh, I saw the turtles (new one) but that isn't really consistent with the stereotypes..
samurais are not the same with ninja in case you didn't know dude.
well "dude" I know "dude" but as I was saying, they use samurai's in these manga/anime as ninja's. Don't think I am so ingnorant that I do not know the difference between them
And I know of 2 comics (not manga) that handle the pirate theme: Long John Silver and Dragon's blood and the first of those 2 does not give pirates any weird type of powers, they just show them as the scum they are. Of course those powers could still come seeing I only have read the first 2 comics and there are 4 expected so. . .
I prefer ninjas.
At least the image of ninjas I have in my head. I have yet to see a film (live-action or otherwise) that does them the justice my mind does.
I dare to ask what exactly is the image of ninjas in your head if you choose them over pirates.
As for me, pirates. No special reason.

This explanation IS Basilisk. Absolutely great :D
Guts does this too though, is he a Ninja then?
A Ninja is never seen doing the killing :ninja:
This thread will be bad.
I believe it might get locked.
Therefore, I post this.
indeed post it in that way since they are requesting to "24hour ban" people whom say "in B4 Tha lock"

now i am enjoying that more than "in b4 the lock"
see? that discussion thread was worth something!
Guess i'll play along… I'd say Pirates... but then again there are many more forms of ninja. Like robot ninjas and samurai-dude ninjas.
weeelll.. but there is a higher abundance of zombie pirates.
hard to say.. cause a group of pillaging ninjas that sailed the seas on a big.... ummm secret, would kick the ass of most new presidents.
but i suppose the question is just "Ninja or pirate" so i'd have to go with a pirate, because a single ninja's lifespan is much shorter and thus uncooler than a pirate's.
You see.. most ninja were basically trained for the purpose of secrecy and a single, important mission.. sooooo.. they fail the mission= dead.
they succeed, they'd most likely have to kill themselves to maintain secrecy= dead.
now a pirate could literally die at any moment from like a wave or an awesome disease.. but they DIDN'T want to die... at all. And were probably a lot more fun to hang out with.
you don't see many alcohol brands that are made after ninjas right? no... cause they would probably kill you
ghosts. or ghost pirates.
and also frogs… unless they are drawn by kishimoto. everything he touches turns into a horrible crime against nature.
Guts does this too though, is he a Ninja then?
You know what I mean. Done all awesomely and ninja-ish with ninja magic and shit. That hook fucker from Ninja Scroll is probably the closest thing I could compare my ideal ninja to. But still, I've yet to see any media that meets my expectations for what a ninja is/can do.
I voted for pirate because to me it would be fun to travel across the seas and looking for treasure. Also, I like the idea of sky pirates even though they never existed in real life.
You know whats better then ninja's or pirates?
Space Cowboy's!!!
I like Geomancers and Blue Mages :ninja:
Space Ninja pirates!!!
just kidding… but that's a tough one.
ninjas, because they kill you without you noticing (at least the good ones). They're like the up-close snipers.
I vote for sneaky Archers -_-
Pirates with Devil Fruit abilities.
KEWWWWWWWWWL.:happy:
Plumbers beat ninjas and pirates any day
what about Death Gods?
Do they count?
I prefer ninjas.
At least the image of ninjas I have in my head. I have yet to see a film (live-action or otherwise) that does them the justice my mind does.
TRAITOR!!! DUDE this is a one piece site. you have to vote pirate. it's the law. :3
(teasing. i totally see where your coming from)
and if i get to choose another option, i choose robots!!
I agree with Greg. The image in my head of a ninja vs a pirate; the ninja wins IMO. Design, style, actions, abilities, personality, etc are all more appealing to me. However, since I read the first post and then voted, I chose pirates. Simply because he compared Naruto to One Piece. Yeah…
Pirates shall always win
Real ninjas probably didn't look that cool.
I am waiting to see if this will turn into a train wreck, however things seem to be pretty cool so far. Keep up the lighthearted fare, people.
Although the thread almost seems moot since this is a ONE PIECE forum.
I like Geomancers and Blue Mages :ninja:
My Summoner and Gladiator would like to have words with you.
the third option seems to be the only reasonable one
honestly now… what kind of democracy is this when such a choice reveals itself so late in the polls?
the system is corrupt as it is hilarious!
Lol, Naruto to see an example of a ninja, lol.
It honestly depends on which ninjas and which pirates.
Naruto
@Hakuro:
Naruto <monkey island<ninja="" scroll<one="" piece<ninja="" gaiden<pirates="" of="" the="" carribean<="" blockquote="">What ?</monkey>
One Piece and Ninja Scroll are way too fucking different to be compared.
Draw a squiggly line between those two or something. Never say that one is better than the other.
pirates of the Caribbean is apparently better than ninja scroll
It was pretty silly to make a thread like this. After all, we're totally biased. However, pirates have been getting some recognition lately, what with Pirates of the Caribbean and the Somali Pirates.
I want to see vampire pirates. They sail at night, leaving a wake of galleons heaving with gold, but missing any sign of their crew.
This thread reminded me of two things: how gay polls can be and this neat comic.

With the added fact that Naruto to some gives Ninjas a bad name…possibly.
I'm not sure, but for some strange reason I prefer pirates… (cough)
This awful topic is awful in the realm of awfulness. Ah well I am awful to so I will answer. Typically a person has to train to be a average ninja while anyone can go around being an average pirate. But because I think the OP world could own the Naruto world my vote goes with pirate. But then again cowboy (which isn't a choice) trumps all. Vash the Stampede, Spike, and Chuck Norris could own the lot of em.

Damn straight!!
except Norris…
Sorry but Norris has already been established as a mythical crazy powerful character. There might be someone in real life by that name but he no longer represents the legend. He is no Chuck Norris only the heavens know the true power of the Norris now. Only the heavens know…
Yeah, then the Lee snaps its neck…
