    The Ultimate Assassin against the Ultimate Front liner, yes, epic. But WHY Spike? Why make me choose between my favorite cultures and fighting styles?



    Ninja with their little gadgets and this lovely way to turn anything into a weapon. Spartans, best warriors to ever walk the Earth, in formation (Eat your hearts out Romans!). Spartan armour against Ninja accuracy, unless this goes absolutely hand to hand, the Ninja still has the advantage.

    This is an outrage! Ninja vs Spartan? Everyone knows the question should be NINJA V PIRATE!

    A ninja without being hidden is not a very talented warrior compared to the spartan.

    I am having sincere doubt about the "so-called experts" on the Ninja side. I have studied Martial Arts for years & my personal Swords are better quality than what is being used on this show. A true Ninja Master would have a better Ninjato and would feel shame if they're Ninjato flexed the way his did.



    As for the Spartan match'um against the Viking, , That'll be a Battle ! Got potential for a great series, but you're losing it when it comes to the quality of your actual weapons and how you're matching them up against each other.

    I don't know what they were smoking when they put those numbers in, but there is no way the Spartan would win. They gave the Spartan far too much credit. Armor and a shield are pluses, and they were great warriors... in a phalanx. However, they certainly weren't too great on their own. Ninja were assassins, and specialized in lone combat.

    Their re-enactment/stylized fight scene was evidence of the inordinate bias to please the "300" fans by giving disproportionate preference to the Spartan. The ninja could have killed the Spartan four seconds into the fight with a blowgun to the neck, but no, they have the ninja walk up behind him until, oops! The Spartan magically knows he's there. Then there was the idiocy of getting the crushed glass from the black eggs in his eyes and then just shrugging it off like it never happened. That's an incapacitating blow, they said it themselves in the show! But now, they act like it's just a mild irritant.

    Sorry, guys, but I just don't buy it. If you're going to expect anyone to give your show any credit, you have to at least make it look believable. Instead, you have the ninja do some kind of running back flip onto a Spartan's sword? Please. Run the numbers again, and maybe get them right this time.

    on this show they forget about somethings, ninjas dont care about honour or being fair fighting during the day isnt a part of what they do and the spartan didnt wear bronze they wore a almost kevlar like material so your professionals deadliest warrior team they are wrong

    I agree with Xenoamicus about the black egg in the eyes. Something like that can't be simply shrugged off that easily. Even for a Spartan.

    I do agree with the overall results however. Being without armor is a definite disadvantage for the ninja. The defensive capabilities of the shield compounded by the fact it's such a dangerous weapon when an opponent is off guard after attempting a glancing blow makes the Spartan far more dangerous. As was stated at the end of the show, a ninja would most often be successful using stealth and surprise from long range with the blowgun.....when the Spartan is asleep. But hand to hand combat with the Spartan aware of what he's facing and allowing time to use his defensive capabilities would be terribly one-sided. Dead ninja.

    A spartan can deal with all sorts of pain, believe it or not the black egg is just a tiny bump in the road to victory. The poison darts on the other hand is a one hit one kill weapon but with the 4 FOOT spartan shield in the way the ninja wouldnt even try it.

    No, I'm sorry Riotgiant, I don't care how much muscle a Spartan has, you can't work out your eyeballs. No human-no ANIMAL, for that matter- could take that amount of finely ground glass to their eyes without falling over and crying like an infant as every blink further shreds their corneas. If you saw the show, you saw the FULL COVERAGE the black eggs deliver, despite the Spartan's helmet. The reaction to that would not be to blink a little and keep fighting, as in the show, the response would be to hack wildly at the air, screaming in pain, as rivers of blood and ocular fluid pour out of the eyes, as the ninja quickly and silently delivers a killing blow from a distance.

    As for the Spartan shield, I must point you back to my first comment. The ninja starts BEHIND the Spartan. Easy targets for the blowgun at the back are too numerous to list.

    I'm sorry, I agree that the Spartans were some of the world's greatest warriors, but that strength only existed in the phalanx formation. Too bad Spike is more worried about pleasing the "300" fans than getting it right. Maybe History or Discovery should have run the show. At least they would have known what the hell they were doing.

    I watched tonight about the Knight against the Pirate. In the episode, there were a couple of glaring mistakes.
    1. The chain mail worn under the armor was never figured into the equation. With the old ball ammunition, once it was slowed by the armor, it would not penetrate the chain mail.
    2. When you depicted the battle between the two, where did the pirate get a light for the grenade? He doesn't have a match!
    3, When the pirate was knocked over, he pulled the blunderbust from a concealed spot, never poured powder into the flashpan, but was still able to fire a shot from the ground, Highly unlikely!
    The knight is slower and with less visibility, but in this case I still think he would fair better.

    If you rewatch the reinactment between the Spartan and the Ninja. The Ninja didn't use a black egg he used that liquid that ran down the Spartans helm. So not sure why either the liquid wasn't in the results or why the black egg was said to be what they were using but they changed it in the reinactment. But aside from the eggs, the Spartan would win in a hand to hand combat, but not a sneak attack. But if the Spartan was with his fellow Spartans fighting equal amount of Ninjas then yes Spartans would win even with Ninjas attempting their sneak attacks due to the famous formation just being way to good in numbers.
    Spartans in hand to hand combat-WIN Spartan,
    Spartans in groups-WIN Spartan,
    Ninja completely stealthy against 1 Spartan-WIN Ninja.

    The pirate somehow was able to pull out at least 5 pistols and fire them without loading AND that he was able to fire a waepon that would be disabled if even angled improperly after being thrown to the ground. That just screams in accuracy, and if that were not enough, newarcher is totally correct, they forgot chainmail which is shown to be amazing in samurai vs. viking. I know it sounds lame but, I CALL A RECOUNT.

    The Spartan vs Ninja was serious bullcrap, The ninja is quicker, smarter and has more precision. Although the Spartan may be armormed he does have weak spots. THe black eggs in the of the Spartan was supposed to incapitate him or at least cut off his vision with each blink. Yet he shrugged it off within a few seconds, Spartan are tough but some parts of the human body cannot be trained. I'm sorry to say, but the Ninja should have either won that or at least have a higher percentage. Iwould like a recap of that epsiode and for the experts to measure each again please. It would be close, but I'm confident in the Ninja's ability to incapitate and then kill.

    I completely agree 100% with sporangia. 1st of all they made the ninja a little to none ninja for me. I¿ve watched ninjas fight in everything from movies to cartoons to real ninja they always have on thing in common they are really fast and clever I say this to say that the ninja here is vary out in the open like when he tried the dart and shuriken he would have most likely did that in the cover of the bush they were making the ninja run way and hide just to revile his self and then attack when its attack then come out. Also when the fight was close up how in the world did the black egg not blinder the Spartan it hit right in his helmet and since he had a helmet on tit would have stayed in there longer because the air clear out the smoke. Also when the Sparta fell on his back and wrapped the chain around his are all ninja had to do is run up and attack the arm no more spear and when the ninja grabbed the spear he cut it >>> FOR WHAT!!! He had the weapon so all he had to do is attack so why would he break the spear and run away makes no since. And what was up with the jump off the tree before he got stabbed that was dumb and was pointless. And why when he was 1st approaching from the back he took forever to attack omg this just couldn¿t get anymore wrong they made the ninja too slow and to stupid and he flipped around to much the ninja were all about swift clean attacks and fast kills this ninja just didn¿t cut it. I call for a redo please

    This episode was disopionting in real life the green beret would have won in a landslide.

    And when they were in the dark room the green beret would have thrown a grenade in there and then it would be done. But other than that I have been happy with the winners other than that.

    When a Spartan strikes with his right hand....ninja moves right and pans wrist with his palms, then a quick jab to the elbow and shoulder with other palm should bring the Spartan down and killing move by the ninja. Simple as that. WOnder why these '300' fans didn't even bother to check. Hmmm...



    As baised as "ninja-anime" fans seem to be, it seems the Spartans abilities are the ones being overblown here. Anyone can learn stand musclo-skeletal pain once the battle is set from birth, but in a pressure point such as the eyes.....no way in hell. Ninja's abilities in martial arts, stealth, precision, and agility is unmatched by the Spartan. Spartan has strength, I mean you gotta be be a Greek foot soldier, but that's basically what they are, phalanx formation heavy infantry. Ninja "tricks" and legends are based on misunderstanding of the ninja as some kind of "superhuman" such was the skill and trickery. Ninja went in groups of 4 to whole fortresses guarded by dozens of highly-skilled samurai to assassinate an enemy! Fighting style was definitely misunderstood, when your talking about the "DEADLIEST WARRIOR"...Max Geiger...you just can't compare.

    Spartans, I think were overrated.

    One, Spartans got wiped out... Carthage?

    Two, Spartans carried to much buck, which slowed them down.

    Three, Spartans vs. Ninja... the Ninja would win, the Ninja had to come up with ways to counter a Samurai, which wasn't easy, since some Samurai were trained by probably the lethal warrior if they were warrior, which were the Kensai, these guys trained the Samurai. The Ninja would win, because it would not be a head on fight and it would be a fight were the Spartan couldn't win. Just think about who the Ninja had to fight to begin with?

    typo.... Two, Spartans carried too much bulk, which helped the Ninja's attacks to be more effective.
