Pirates win because theyre still around to this day and ninjas are not.End. Of. Story.
Seaborne piracy against transport vessels remains a significant issue (with estimated worldwide losses of US$13 to $16 billion per year[1]), particularly in the waters between the Pacific and Indian Oceans, off the Somali coast, and in the Strait of Malacca and Singapore.Besides, according to Maddox, pirates are as manly as violence, ass-kicking, metal, hot sauce and enlightenment, and the only thing that can kill a pirate is another pirate. They kick cats, just because; and they ejaculate fully grown leprechauns. I'd like to see a ninja do that.
I don't see the relation between a SWAT team and Ninjas. Sorry.
Ninja has two meanings. Originally, Ninja were said to be agents of espionage and assassination in feudal Japan in legend and popular fiction. Revered by some as the world's first special forces, some modern practitioners of budo ninjutsu argue that ninja were used primarily as spies, not assassins, and this appears to be borne out by some historical records. It is popularly believed that the ancient ninja were peasants, forbidden under law from studying the samurai swordplay techniques because of feudal Japan's caste structure, but more likely they originated from a variety of castes.
Another idea supporting the absence of a ninja outfit and any specific weaponry is that, if caught or seen, they would have been identified as enemies. This would only result in capture, torture, and probably a very slow and painful execution. Thus, these spies and assassins were far more likely to be disguised as samurai, priests, or peasants or when situation dictates, dark green, blue or dark red outfit which offers better camouflage to its surroundings. Ninja boots (tabi) have the split-toe design to improve gripping and wall/rope climbing. They are virtually silent.
Ninjaja also employed a variety of weapons and tricks using gunpowder. Smoke bombs and firecrackers were widely used to aid an escape or create a diversion for an attack. They used timed fuses to delay explosions. Ōzutsu (cannons) they constructed could be used to launch fiery sparks as well as projectiles at a target. Small "bombs" called metsubishi (not the company) were filled with sand and sometimes metal dust. This sand would be carried in bamboo segments or in hollowed eggs and thrown at someone, the shell would crack, and the assailant blinded. Even land mines were constructed that used a mechanical fuse or a lit, oil-soaked string. Secrets of making desirable mixes of gunpowder were strictly guarded in many ninja clans. Other forms of trickery were said to be used for escaping and combat. Ashiaro are wooden pads attached to the ninja's tabi (thick socks with a separate "toe" for bigger toe; used with sandles). The ashiaro would be carved to look like an animal's paw, or a child's foot, allowing the ninja to leave tracks that most likely would not be tracked. Also a small ring worn on a ninja's finger called a shobo would be used for hand-to-hand combat. The shobo would have a small notch of wood used to hit assailant's pressure points for sharp pain to sometimes cause temporary paralyzation. (see pressure points). A suntetsu is very similar to a shobo. It could be a small oval shaped piece of wood affixed to the finger by a small strap. The suntetsu would be held against a finger (mostly middle) on the palm-side and when the hand was thrusted at an opponent, the longer piece of wood would be used to hit the pressure points.
Many of these ninja spoofs pit them against pirates and ask the question If a pirate and a ninja were to fight, who would win? Modern ninja are also often (paradoxically) depicted as both redshirts (when they are the villains of the piece, and in particular when they appear in large numbers) and as nearly invulnerable opponents (when they are the heroes of the piece, or when they appear as a single foe to be overcome). A good example of this paradox in action can be found in the American Ninja and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies, where the protagonists (ninja) easily defeat waves of enemy ninja on multiple occasions.
Is this question even worth answering? Everyone knows ninjas are better without a doubt. Ninja's move at 84,000 frames per second, but on a bad day about 60,000 frames per second. A pirate couldn't keep up with that.
Meaning they're homosexual.
*pfft* worrying about hygiene doesn't make you a homosexual.
