Now, there have been a lot of discussion and topics over pirates and ninjas with comparison between the two categories of sub-humans( i called them sub-humans because one is usually inhumane and the other ghostly figure). Of course, we are assuming that everyone knows what a pirate and a ninja are unless you are either buried deep under the seabed or vaporized into the thin air. Otherwise, there is always Google or Wikipedia to assist 24/7.
So, what makes a pirate or a ninja? People familiar with both characters know that the pirate is like a bandit on the prize ship (like the Black Pearl in the Pirates of the Caribbean) going around treasure hunting or looting other merchant ships, finding a secluded island somewhere in the horizon of the deep blue to bury the possessions and jotting down the location on a hand-drawn map which drives treasure hunters crazy many centuries later. On the other hand, the ninja is somehow like a mysterious shadow that pounces around the woods in some wrapped-up piece of costume. Armed with a katakana and shurikens, the ninja goes around slashing fallen leaves and flicking projectiles at the bark of the trees.
Now that we have some clues about who these two characters are and what they do, let us take a shot at their forte that propelled them to their stardom.
| The Deep Blue King of Pirates | Invincible Shadow Master aka Ninja | |
| Outlook | Rugged look with beard and probably a battle scar. Probably spot curly locks fashion hairstyle of the year | All covered up except a tiny weeny window for the glimpse of the eyes |
| Headgear | A fashionable hat that changes with the trend, however usually has a skull logo trademark. Sometimes, the hair is good enough to leave an impression | As above. Although at times may spot some kind of a band, not so visible band. |
| Clothes | Needless to say, there is plenty to wear from the loot. Hugo boss, calvin kleins, you name it | Depends on their clan. Usually black, though sometimes spots dark blue or even red. By the way, it is just some simply cotton clothing(possibly made in china) |
| Shoes | Covered up boots that goes all the way up till knee level. Mostly leather, and branded | Some rubber or cloth-made slip-on. Could possibly be full-piece with the pants |
| Weapons | Ranges from pocket size semi-automatic pistol that sits in a holster around the waist belt to the giganormous cannon balls or maybe even the all-time titanic harpoon that can shoot the moon down from the sky | An assortment of medieval like metals, however the common carry-on are the katakana and shurikens |
| Mode of travel | Big ships. The bigger, the grander it is. Not forgetting the pirate flag which is the international recognition of fearsome legends | Most likely by foot. They like to run a lot. |
| Attacking style | All-round firepower at the maximum range with the most awesome orchestra of sounds | Dodge, run, hide and sneak attack. |
| War Cry | “THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAA!!!!!!” (Basically anything works so long it is louder than the cannon balls) | ……………………………. |
| Victory Pose | As suave as possible among the standing ovation of the admirers | Stands in the quietness of nobody’s land while the wind blows |
| End of day reward | Priceless. Gold, diamonds and all you can think of. But nothing beats the display of awesomeness and impression left for many to desire | Well, maybe some money to take the bus home. Alone.. Subtly.. |
After reading so much on their comparison, perhaps you can subtly decide which one would be the better one. Ships ahoy! *poof……disappearing into thin air*
