Lenriak: The ninjas have:
Batman
Ryu Hayabusa
The turtles
Naruto - Bright blue and orange are not stealthy colours and they don't exactly blend very well in natural environments, and he's too damn loud. How this guy passed his stealth class I'll never know! BUT... he'll have an undeserved fearful reputation on the battlefield, the pirates may still fear him. lol.
The Ninjabread Man - LMAO, yeah, I know its a crap game but that name rocks! It must be saved for something better.
The Pirates have:
CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow
and... uumm... maybe Barbosa too
I VOTE NINJA!!!
ilves: Seriously? No Guybrush Threepwood? No Flying Dutchman? Black Beard? Or are we merely going by modern pop culture instances of ninjas and pirates? I guess if you want to include the Pirates of the Caribbean, you have to throw in Davey Jones, Mick Jagger, a bunch of undead unkillable pirates, a giant squid, and Keira Knightly.
Lenriak - you have much to learn :)
Ninja has almost all Mortal Kombat crew (and even more game heroes!), American Ninja, whole bunch of assassins from DC and Marver worlds, a lot of Anime etc.
Pirates has a lot of classic book heroes - (just check Capitan Nemo and Capitan Blood! Or Long John Silver! They are awesome! Check them :)), a lot of comical heroes, game heroes (comical or not :) ).
Well in this term it could even be a tight! But pirates has awesome god!
ALL HAIL FLYING SPAGHETTI MONSTER!
