Two questions: Who do you think is cooler, and who do you think would win in a fight? I vote Knight.
-
Samurai have the use of Pokemon, so they win.

iirc japanese swords were stronger and shaper, and samurai's armor left them a bit more mobile, and I think there was more focus on the status of being a knight than the duty and skill of being a knight, which would suggest a samurai might just edge out a win. Cause I mean they took on GUNS in last samurai which is a very accurate documentary.

Robots are obviously cooler. And skeletons. Skeletons are fuckin' cool.

So is this just a subtle thread for a japafag to say Jap culture is better than Western culture?

I have had the urge to rewatch Kenshin recently. I have it all on dvd.
Season 1, season 2, season 3, ova 1, ova 2, the ova boxset.
I'm such a slut.

My vote goes to samurai because knights were religiously motivated. Yuck.
But they were like tanks. My guess is it would take a samurai awhile to figure out where to stab a fully armored knight, but would he do it before the knight battered him to death with his broadsword?
I dunno. Someone should build a samurai robot and a knight robot and make them fite.

Ninja Robots.

Ninja Robots.
When I was in Israel back in the summer of 1998, Cartoon Network India used to show an old anime series called Ninja Robots. It was the butt of many a joke between us Kibbutz volunteers.

knight armor was pretty thin.

I vote for samurai because they're from Japan and Japanese culture is better than Western culture
-
I've never been to Japan but what I've gathered from manga and anime (types of Japanese animation but for smart adults not at all like American comic books which are for children) this seems to the case.
:lol

knight armor was also extremely heavy, knock them off their horse and its over. Most had to be loaded on their horses. Even the more modern heavy armor cav of the napoleonic era had issues with mobility in their armor. A lot of japanese armor focused on segments rather than plates which allowed increased mobility. Also I suspect the japanese focus on precision weapons over heavy weapons influenced the overall weight of the armor.
-
Knights because they had Excalibur and Dragons and Wizards and that's the shit

If we're rating samurai and knights on how capable they are we should just bring the Mongol Cavalry into the discussion and declare them the winners.
-
western style dragons are better than eastern style dragons.

Also they don't have hordes and capture princesses and sometimes speak in riddles!

Also, samurais fought with more demons and ghosts than knights.
