Yeah, but only one shot before it has to be reloaded, as well as sluggish and inaccurate. A sneaky ninja has a very good chance of being able to get up close to a pirate in that scenario, and when that happens, pirate is going to get cut up.

What have huge numbers got to do with it? Why are they fucking? And why are the pirates inside the numbers?

Ah, that's right. Because they YARRRRR! :)

Pirates. Because you can't get a jolly roger from a ninja. 'Nuff said.

The issue is that the scenario ALWAYS counts. What ninjas and pirates are we using? How many are fighting one another? How skilled is each individual one?

I think we can't REALLY decide which team is actually stronger, because as Madame Lucy has stated, the scenario counts.

That's why just saying [something] vs. [something] isn't really a good way to start a debate, it lacks any sort of ground rules. This is more of a casual conversation about hypotheticals than any sort of debate.

There is no answer for this. In different novels, TV shows, anime or movies, pirates and ninjas have different fighting styles and techniques. Plus their powers/techniques are scaled differently.

Ninjas obviously~ martial art magic peasant assassins easily beat dirty thieving seamen.

Unless we're talking about butt pirates. In which case all bets are off.

Ninjas. Because they wield better swords (though I have to admit, they're not as snazzily dressed).

A load of cultural hype and cutting through a bundle of straw isn't that amazing when compared to the massive trauma created by a heavy blade vs flesh (and bone for that matter), or a .70 lead ball fired at a target a few paces away, which is known for doing very horrible things to flesh.

Ceremonial hullabaloo and duelling "weapons" for 1-on-1 combat got nothing on purpose-built practical solutions. Especially pistols. Katanas are known for being slashing weapons that have trouble cutting through bamboo vests and effectively parry other katanas. Ignoring all the other blades pirates had on hand, cutlasses were best suited to the close quarters combat of ships and could even chop through thick wood.

And this ignores actual combat situations. Ninjas would be committing suicide by hopping onto a pirate ship as anime-inspired jumping and dancing will not save them. Trying to attack a mob of pirates in a field would also be stupid, as the majority of pirates would be ready to shoot on sight (dodging gunfire happens only in the Matrix) and still have number superiority after they've all fired at least once.
