Spartans are superior to ninjas.

That was a very good response Con. But you are forgetting some of the ninjas weaponry, he may be under equiped. "The Spartan's weapons were primarily meant for going to war; however, the weapon arsenal for ninjas consisted of a wide range of weapons for different scenarios. " However for the spartans, this is not true. The spartans also utalized archers in war for any "sneak" kills. But the spartan usually just went in with a sword and shield, thought to be a much more honerable death to the enemy. This negates Con's sentance. "If the Spartan is brute force, the ninja is cleverness and cunning. " Again this is not true. The spartan's were intelligent like in the paragraph above the first quote to Con. In war you can not simply "bumrush" your enemy, you will be killed almost instantly. The spartans devised plans, ways to get around their opponents in order to accomplish a surprise attack or "flank them. " Now for my argument. If these two were to fight in battle, such as con depicted. "Via some awsome time machine. " Not only does the ninja's stealth, and battle plans, and weapons make quite the difference. The spartan's tolerence for pain, his own battle plans, and armor that will give Con's ninja a bit of a problem. You see, the ninja's and spartan's are most likley matched in their intelligence. Mind you all that spartan's are not simple brutes or war, and neither are the ninjas. Now my opponent stated in his response that the ninjas have hidden weapons, well so does the spartan. The Kopis – The Nasty Spartan Weapon. As an alternative to the xiphos some Spartans selected the dreaded Kopis as their secondary weapon. This was a vicious hacking weapon in the form of a thick, curved iron sword. Warriors would use this weapon more as an axe then a sword, inflicting nasty wounds compared to the cleaner holes made by the spear and xiphos. This weapon was seen as the quintessential "bad guys" weapon in ancient Greece. Athenian art frequently depicted Spartan warriors with this weapon for that reason. Spartans were warriors, ninjas were assasins. Toe to toe the spartan would win, whereas the ninja had no armor while the spartan had bronze plating and a shield. Spartans also trained in martial arts since they were young, (forgot to mention that. ) and trained in the art of killing. Who would win in an assassination battle? well the ninja, but one on one, spartan. Besides that, one of the weapons my opponent has forgotten are the most asociated with the ninjas. The throwing star, or shuriken. If that one ninja was about to attack head on with those throwing stars, the spartan would notice the rear back and ready his shield. Which incidentally, covers most of his body. And on another note once these two connect in any way, (physically) the spartan would either shield bash him, dazing him for a quick kill. Or using his trusty Kopis to gravely injure the ninja, reducing his strength, agility, and to become disoriented by the blood loss. . http://www.ancientmilitary.com... So in conclusion the spartan has superior strength and armor. Not to forget evenly matched in intelligence, and possibly weapons. The spartan wins. I now leave Con to make his rebuttles and conclusions.
