I would think that a lot of the tactics that ninjas use would be considered dishonorable by samurais, though. I also thought that the samurais were enemies of ninjas in old Japan.
It doesn't really bother me either way since they are just toys made to look cool.

Wow, that is horrible!! I never knew GI Joe even made figures like that! Kind of sad to know that the line sank to such an extreme low back then after having all of those great years of glory.

Ninjas were originally formed to defeat Samurais, right?

Just to let you know, SS is not wearing a samurai helm!
Is a kind of hood. About ninja/samurai discussion...well, samurais were "noble", this means, they achieved their status by family name (actually, most of them didn't know how to wield a sword), so forget about that Rurouni kenshin crap. The few samurais that achieved their status by "force of arms" or reputation, were though enough to have survived many battles and wars. So they weren't that kind or nice. Ninjas on the other hand, had "schools" to train, they usually made the dirty work of samurais/shoguns. As Shin-D says, they "win by any means necessary in a confrontation", so the less they directly fight, the better the job was considered. ninja: "-I see you proudly wear a scar on your face...-" Samurai: "-Yes, i have many more on my body, of the many battles i fought-" ninja: "-I see..well, noone was good enough to make one on me.-" Now, keeping the topic on track... Damn, those figures look good! I must admit that Destro is maybe too colourful, but is not bad, not at all. Last edited by M_renegade; 11-21-2008 at 10:29 AM.. |
