Hehe...how some of u guys think that a MAN that "kill's" himself if he lost a duel or a battle is afraid of anything in this WORLD?!...how that man will fight every fight, knowing that it could be his last?...How a man that had 1000 years of continuous war and local duels to death, can lose or be afraid of anything?
The Samurai Warrior viewed life as an illusion and he felt that killing was no worse then other activities--->Bushido.
Bk. on topic, as the thread starter said: is about 2 equal geared/skilled warriors on foot.
A samurai always carry a flag for morale, a long bow and arrows(because samurai were some of the best asian archers of that time...) a Naginata aka. long spear, a Wakizashi aka. short sword and ofc. the Katana.I see this fight starting with the spartan in a maximum defensive stance with his spear focused on the samurai.From this range, I`m 100% sure that the samurai will shoot 2-3 arrows , witch will prob aim the head and won`t do much harm, but daze and enervate the spartan.The spartan will throw his spear which is way to easy to dodge and anticipate for a lifetime warrior trained without protection rather than his armor witch is not a "heavy" one even for his time...because dodge and parry's were the only ways of samurai protection in combat.So here comes the fun part. 1 versus 1...the samurai will surely fight with his main Katana vs. a shield shortsword brave warrior, which will yell intimidating demoralizing shouts with ZERO effect on the samurai code of honnor, which will respond with their famous duel shouts and charge.
Is a matter of a couple of blows with the most powerful and accurate sword of all time in the hands of the one that calls it "his soul" to cutt a knee or even sever the hand that wields a short greek sword.
Even tho` this is all fiction, there is no such thing in history that a samurai will lose melee combats to any "hero" ...
P.S.: I said MELEE!!!
Gd day🙂
lemme put it more simplez to you...till u americans wiped Hiroshima with an Atomic bomb , Japan was never conquered by any other country in his long time history🙂...so yea, no country actually melee'd Japan ever...😉...the 2 huge mongols invasions were the only attempts to conquer this country and both time failed.
Qute:" ....the mongols infantry was no mach for the disciplined samurais"...

Im still without understand how people say that a katana will cut through an spartan armor or shield like a butter piece. Thry to do it and then let me know what happen. The battles that spartans faced were against armies with strong blades and overall stronger weapons. However, none of these went through their sheilds. Katanas cant even cut through a viking chain mail, how it will do it across a metal and wood shield, besides a trained soildier using a xiphos or falcata everytime the samurai try to hit him. Just think in the dybamics of the battle, or hand to hand.

Swords just plain don't cut through shields.
SPARTAN Wins against Samurai
I am surprised of the replies and the poll.
SPARTAN did Wins against Samurai on the show Deadliest Warriors 😄 in a scientific simulation despite all the hype that everyone thinks the opposite. Or in other words Spartan reality vs Samurai Hype.
spike.com/full-episode/37916 Watch video to get full information.
So for everyone that thought that the Spartan would loose and said so many fantasy thing should stop watching movies and look at reality.
Also the Samurai expert was arrogant, but that's how samurai really were, despite the hype.
The Samurai did envy the Spartans in the movie "The last samurai" and it was not the other way around. 😉
You cant cut or go thought the spear, especially against one of the most physically fit people in history.
The samurai got slaughtered by others like the the Mongols for example. And the Spartans did loose to the other Greeks like the Athenians which has the same gear.
In short Spartans are trained to be the perfect fighting machines.
Again SPARTAN WON Case closed no if, and, or buts.
🤣
Re: SPARTAN Wins against Samurai
That show sucks. A Gladiator would destroy an Apache.
And Spartans trian to fight as a unit; the Samurai should have won.

Because the Spartans predated them.
Originally posted by Quiero MotaNo, because the Spartan would have a longer range weapon and have a shield. That's great, too bad that steel sword isn't cutting through the shield and into the Spartan, especially not before he gets a spear in the face.
Because that show says so? Steel is superior to bronze, and the Samurai's technology overall was an improvement.

There's no way to know for certain, so we can sit here all day long. But typically, odds favor the latest technology. I mean, I'd feel safer with a tommy gun over a Civil War musket. And we're talking a Samurai, not a Persian peasant with a wicker shield. The Samurai has at least a thousand years of improvement of invention and trial and error over the Spartans. Samurai survived well into the 1800's...Spartans didn't.
