Ninja: The legendary stealth master who battled the samurai class.
vs.
Zulu: The fierce South African killer who created one of the largest empires in Africa under the reign of Shaka.
WHO IS DEADLIEST?!
To find out, we've assembled a team of world class fighters to test history's most lethal weapons. Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when two warriors go toe to toe.
No rules. No safety. No mercy. It's a duel to the death to decide who is…THE DEADLIEST WARRIOR!
Here in our elite fight club we have gathered doctors, medical scientists and weapons experts to test out the lethal arsenals wielded by each of our combatants to determine who would win a fight between two warriors who never met in a face to face duel.

''Today is a pretty cool match-ups guys.'' DeadAliveManiac started, ''We've got the ninja who were the famous warriors from Japan who are known for being incredibly stealthy and they battled it out with the samurai for years and on the other end we've got a Zulu, now these were easily the toughest bastards to ever grace the African continent and their intense training regime has earned them the nickname the ''Spartans'' of Africa.''
''I'm siding with the Zulu for this fight.'' Zivon96 said, ''They can handle direct combat whereas the ninja are most ambush you from the shadows kind of guys.''
''I think the ninja can win.'' Demigod countered, ''They have tricks up their sleeves and their stealth approach will be unlike anything the Zulu warriors have ever seen before.''
''Regardless, this match is going to be pretty bloody and I don't think these two will stop until they've killed the other senseless.'' Rice Man said.
Due to regulations imposed by the ruling class, the ninja used an arsenal of improvised weapons.
Short Range: Katana
Mid-Range: Kusarigama
Long Range: Fukiya & Shuriken
Special: Sai
In turn the mighty Zulu warrior brought into battle an arsenal so innovative that it allowed them to create their military might.
Short Range: Zulu Axe
Mid-Range: Iklwa
Long Range: Assegai
Special: Iwisa
For short range weapons, these warriors brought two different weapons capable of cutting their victims apart.
The team now reviews the testing of the katana and the Zulu axe in their various appearances and it doesn't take them long to come to a decision.
''Sure, the Zulu axe causes horrific damage onto your body but you're comparing an axe to a sword. The katana's metals make it the more sturdier weapon and the ninja I think wielded their blades with superior skill.'' DAM said.
''I'm going with the axe, sure the katana is longer but I simply cannot ignore the trauma caused by the axe. It's so hard to repair.'' Zivon countered.
''Well, swords beat axes a lot of the time Zivon and the katana can be swung faster than the axe. So edge katana.'' Demigod said.
''Sword versus axe, the one with more blades gives the user more options to choose from. Katana takes this.'' Rice Man concluded.
In short range weapons, the edge goes to the ninja for the katana.
For mid-range weapons, these warriors relied on two different weapons to hack and slash their opponents.
The team now reviews the testing of the kusarigama and the iklwa from various appearances before coming to an edge.
''The iklwa sure is a deadly weapon and I like how the Zulu use it, but the kusarigama can hack you and bludgeon the ever living life out of you so I give it my edge.'' DAM started.
''Iklwa, when used in conjunction with the Ishlangu it's like you're fighting a spartan with his aspis and dory. For combined use with the ishlangu I go with the iklwa.'' Zivon countered.
''But the kusarigama has range which is a fact that simply cannot be ignored, kusarigama has my edge.'' Demigod inquired.
''Not to mention that ball end adds a level of unpredictability the Zulu will never see. Edge kusarigama.'' Rice Man concluded.
In mid-range weapons, the edge goes to the ninja for the kusarigama.
''Now before you say anything narrator, the edge goes to the assegai since it has higher kill potential than the shuriken and the fukiya.'' DAM said earning nods from the other three.
Well, I see your point but can I at least finish?
For long range weapons, the edge goes to the Zulu for the assegai.
And before you say anything DAM, I will just announce it anyway. Since the iwisa is a bludgeon only weapon and you have two sai, the ninja can block the club with one and stab the Zulu with the other.
In special weapons, the edge goes to the ninja for the sai.
''Nice, you're getting the hang of it narrator.'' Demigod said.
Coming up! Metal will review the x-factors of our warriors and our battle begins.

''Alright, let's review the x-factors.'' Metal said sitting in front of the simulator.
''For training the ninja took it because he was self-trained in various forms of unarmed combat and various complicated weapons. He has a 93 to the Zulu's 92.''
''Ferocity goes to the Zulu with an 89 to the ninja's 84.''
''Next is killer instinct and I had to give the edge to both with a 91. One is fighting a better armored opponent which is the samurai and one is killing to expand his empire's military might.''
''Fourth is intimidation and this goes to the ninja. He's able to blend in with the shadows, hop out, kill you then disappear. While the Zulu warriors would pound their shields with their spears and shout nonstop at the opponents. The ninja has a 91 to the Zulu's 90.''
''Fifth is endurance and I gave it to the Zulu based on being raised in a more hostile enviroment where more things whether they're natural or animal can kill you. 91 and 87 respectively.''
''Last is physicality and this one goes to the ninja solely based on his remarkable agility and how quickly he can kill his enemies. 90 and 87 respectively.''
Metal has just concluded reviewing the x-factors. Now he will run the simulator 1,000 times in a battle to the death.
Who will win between two opposing fighting styles?

In the arid landscapes of South Africa we see a lone Zulu warrior walking through a path that was surrounded by trees and tall grass on both sides.
Recently his tribe has told stories of a strange man clad in black roaming the area and he has set out to find the stranger who was trespassing on his empire's land. He continues down the path but unknown to him in the tall grass surrounding him he is being stalked by a figure clad in black.
The figure is revealed to be a ninja and in his hand was a fukiya and two shuriken. For the past five minutes he was stalking the Zulu warrior and decided that it would be best to take the dark-skinned man's life so he can safely travel through this unknown land.
The Japanese warrior readies his shuriken and hurls it at the African warrior. Hearing what he thinks is something coming his way the Zulu turns to his left and spots two strange looking objects flying his way. Lifting up his ishlangu shield he effortlessly deflects the projectiles.
Now alerted to an enemy's presence he draws his iklwa and holds both it and his shield protectively in front of him. He scans the grass for any sign of movement before hearing what he believed was someone taking in a breath and blowing.
Turning to his right he sees a small, dart-like object flying towards him and just like before he raises his ishlangu and blocks the attack.
As he moves his shield from his view he catches sight of a smaller man wearing black carrying two sai in his hand. Knowing that this man is the enemy he pounds his iklwa against his ishlangu and shouts ''ZULU!" repeatedly at the man.
He then takes his assegai and hurls it at the ninja who ducks down and narrowly avoided having become a ninja-kabob.
Getting back up the ninja stands his ground as the Zulu charges him, the ninja holds his ground and when the Zulu comes within a few feet of him he raises one of his sai to block a thrust from the iklwa.
With a simple twist the iklwa is thrown right out of the Zulu's grip and the ninja follows through with a thrust only for the Zulu to bring his shield up and succeeds in blocking the attack.
The two warriors become locked in a test of strength and thanks to the Zulu's larger size he manages to shove the ninja down to the ground while making him drop his sai in the process.
The African warrior then draws his axe and brings it down onto the ninja's face only for the black-clad warrior to roll out of the way. The ninja then takes out his kusarigama before dashing away a few feet to create some distance between them to spin his chain weapon.
With his axe, the Zulu warrior charges furiously after the ninja as he attempts to spin his kusarigama around and viciously swings his axe in a horizontal manner prompting the ninja to halt his spin and bring the sickle end to intercept the incoming axe.
The Zulu attempts to overpower his opponent again using his brute strength but the ninja maneuvers his sickle and forces it downward causing the Zulu's axe wielding arm to become pinned to the ground.
With this opportunity the ninja takes the ball end of the kusarigama and slams it hard against the Zulu's back making the larger man cry out in pain.
Letting go of his axe the Zulu then backhands the ninja sending the Japanese warrior staggering into the tall grass before vanishing.
With his opponent gone, the Zulu scoops up his axe and makes his way into the tall grass to stalk his prey.
He is unaware however that the ninja is only a few feet behind him with his katana in hand, making his way towards the unaware Zulu the ninja goes to raise his ninjato high but he steps on a twig.
Alerted to his prey's presence the Zulu turns around while swinging his axe and manages to slice into the ninja's chest.
Hearing his opponent's muffled shouts of pain the Zulu follows through with another slash only for the ninja to block it with his sword.
The ninja, knowing he can't win in terms of strength kicks the Zulu in the chest making the man stagger backwards he quickly lunges forward and slices the ishlangu in half while kicking the axe out of his grip.
Grunting in anger the Zulu draws his iwisa and goes in to bash the smaller man's head in. Seeing the club come down the ninja sidesteps and swings the katana managing to get another blow that cuts deep into the Zulu warrior's side.
Despite the intense pain the Zulu spins around and with his iwisa he manages to strike the ninja with a powerful blow on his side making the man scream in pain having broken a few ribs.
Filled with bravado the African warrior then lunges at the ninja and pushes him with all his might. The ninja is left helpless as he cannot do anything and is eventually shoved off a small cliff that sees them landing in front of a small pond.
Both warriors roll out of the way and stand with their respective weapons in hand. They circle each other as the Zulu shouts out ''ZULU!" in an attempt to frighten the smaller man who remains unafraid of the display.
With a final charge, both warriors barrel towards each other and swing their respective weapons.
The Zulu swings both his iwisa and axe hoping to kill the ninja but the smaller man ducks under the attack and swings his katana downwards with such speed the Zulu's legs were sliced off at the knee sending the African warrior crashing to the ground a broken heap.
With his legs severed, the Zulu warrior can only cry in a mix of pain and anger as he tries to crawl away. His opponent crippled, the ninja then followed through by swinging his katana and decapitates the once mighty Zulu warrior sending the head rolling into the pond.
Sheathing his katana, the ninja nods before disappearing into the tall grass.

Following a battle between two very different warriors, it would be the ninja who comes out on top with over 52.3% of the victories. His superior forged weapons and his stealth allowed him to take the mighty Zulu down. The Zulu however proved to be a dangerous opponent as his comparable skills as a close range fighter kept him close behind with 47.7%.
''Interesting result, I honestly thought the Zulu would've won due to the ninja being a mainly ambush type of warrior. I can see why the ninja won because he was the more skilled melee fighter.'' DAM commented.
''Makes sense, if you're able to attack and kill the other guy before he can even hear you well, you win.'' Zivon said.
''The ninja adds another win to his current record. People think he isn't winning a lot of fights but this proves he can defeat certain opponents.'' Demigod added.
''Congratulations to Japan's master of stealth, the ninja.'' Rice Man concluded.
(The ninja is seen laying in the tall grass watching as several other Zulus arrive at the scene. Seeing their dead brother they shout in anger as the ninja takes off deeper into the tall grass. He has claimed the Zulu's axe and iklwa as souvenirs of the battle.)
