    Ninja are specialised Samurai. Just like some become Shinobi (spies), emissaries, swordsmen, spearmen, etc. Ninja are Samurai of the night, assassins.

    Therefore-> Ninja=Samurai

    Beep. Bigfatwrongness. Ninja came from seperate, hereditary clans, who had nothing to do with the samurai clans. In fact, they were very different- Samurai fought man to man, bellowing war cries, and fighting along a set of special, pre-defined rules- the Bushido. Ninjas, on the other hand, were devious, sneaky and dishonest, which of course they had to be. But, as this directly conflicted with the bushido, samurai looked down on ninja, and ninja were oftendepicted as villanous, untrusworthy, and even demonic.
    Samurai code demanded that opponents die either in battle or through seppuku, while the ninja killed secretly, and certainly not in battle.
    Therefore, Samurai =/= Ninja.

    Oh, and Samurai, because I played Kessen and Shogun: Total War and watched RAN until my eyes bled.

    It's a close call. Percentage-wise.

    ...the masters of stealth and shadows, ninjas are the real jack-of-all-trades. weapons out of anything, that's a gift. my god, we make the samurais wet their pants and call for their mommies, what else?

    scare tactics, it's a fact...

    The samurai. Ninja had no honor, no pride in their bushido.

    Samurai block attacks with their katana. Ninja's however have no defense and suck.

    I generally prefer Samurai to Ninja, but Ninja are good too. I like the samurai sword style quite a bit.

    However, the Ninja did develop Ninjutsu specifically to counter the samurai Aikido, a style used to turn the momentum against the attacker. Ninjutsu allowed them to turn the Aikido's throw into another attack. So technically the Ninja are bred to defeat Samurai, although in a straight blade-on-blade duel they really have no chance.
