So I was thinking what the Escapist thought about the internet phenomenon. Well, actually it just kinda came to my mind that One Piece and Naruto are in on this quarrel in a way. So which the most awesome and why?

And I mean the realistic image for both of them in their primary epoch, if that clarification is needed. Personally, I have to go with pirates not because I like One Piece more than Naruto, but because pirates are, objectively viewed, better fighters. The ninjas were only dissatisfied farmers and got a lot of myths around them because of the mystic dress-up and sneaking around, they were exterminated by the army without a problem. Pirates are still around. Besides, they had gunpowder and stronger swords.

If I've got any facts wrong, please feel free to correct me.

Captcha: among resposta

EDIT: Vikings are initially pirates, but from a whole other epoch, and a hell of a lot more badass. Also, everyone beneath this line is jelly:

Erm, that's awkward.

OT: Pirates!
Oh god, that's scary!

For years I would have said ninjas. I don't care for the stereotypical pirate. But lately it seems like ninjas are just there, while Reaver from Fable was a pirate, so I can no longer decide.

15 to 14 at the time of this posting. I can honestly say this is the first time in 30 years that I feel like my vote counted for something.

YARRR!

Anyone else notice the Two Ninjas drinking tea in the above picture?
Being English.. I can totally relate to that.
I clicked Ninjas!

Though two observations.

Pirates - Awsome and Varied fashion sense
Ninjas - Just black and no shoes.

Pirates - Popular Porn genre
Ninjas - Budget martial arts Movies and too much f***ing Manga

Ninjas, because they're stealthy and awesome and can fight with their bare hands. Also Dr McNinja.

I'll be back with a comic to prove my point.
Edit: Screw it, I can't find the comic.
