The Spartan. The battlefield butcher from ancient Greece.

A ninja.

The legendary master of death from Japan.

Who is Deadman?

To find out, our world -class fighters are testing history's most lethal

weapons.

Using 21st century science, we'll see what happens when the two warriors go

-to -toe.

No rules, no safety, no mercy.

It's a duel to the death to decide who is the deadliest

warrior.

In Los Angeles, California, we've created a high -tech fight club with

scientists,

Martial arts experts and lots and lots of weapons.

It's all here to create a virtual battle between two legendary warriors.

A ninja, history's most famous hitman, versus a

Spartan, an armored killing machine.

To find out just how deadly ninja and Spartans really are, we'll test their

weapons and fighting techniques on high -tech dummies, stand -ins for human

victims.

Scientist and karate black belt Jeff Damoline wires these dummies to

that collect the injury data.

For example, this dummy has three linear accelerometers inside the head, and

from the numbers that we received based on the impact...

We can tell whether this person would have died or not.

Enter Max Geiger, a 21 -year -old computer whiz.

He'll take the data from our weapons test and enter it into a battle

program.

I'm inputting 20 different factors, which are going to determine things like

attack power, defense strength, range, accuracy.

Based on this data, the simulator will stage a true -to -life fight to the

death.

The winner will be the deadliest warrior.

These two warriors never met in history, but today they will inside this

computer.

Weapons specialist Jeremy Dunn and former Green Beret Barry Jacobson will

demonstrate the Spartan Way War.

Spartans weren't otters. They weren't artists. They did nothing but fight.

Thomas Spartan Boy was eight years old. He was trained to do one thing.

That killed the enemy.

Spartans were the most feared fighters of their time. But one battle made them

legends.

In Thermopylae Pass, 300 Spartans faced off against an army of half a million

Persians.

Thermopylae was a rearguard action. Think of it as the Greek Alamo.

These men knew they were going to die.

But a Spartan will never die without a fight.

In the three days of Thermopylae, the Spartans likely killed 100 ,000 to 200

,000 Persians.

Spartans were the toughest warriors history has ever produced.

Our Spartan experts are confident.

But so are the team that will demonstrate the weapons and techniques

ninjas.

Luke Klein is a master at ninjutsu, the secret art of the ninja.

Karate instructor Michael Lair is a black belt level at four different

arts.

So to truly understand the strength of the ninja, you had to see how they

evolved.

They didn't start out as warriors. They started out as farmers, villagers,

peasants, the lowest of the low.

Like most people, they thought independent.

But at the time, Japan was ruled by feudal warlords and the military class

samurai.

Very tough, very well -trained fighters.

In a fair fight, the farmers and villagers really didn't stand much of a

So when they had to fight, they just didn't fight fair.

The ninja's strength flows from his agility, his mobility, his incredible

thought process that allows him to do what other people never expect.

Distract you, look over here, take out your legs.

Distract you up here, powder to your eyes. Ninjas were the first special ops.

They were the masters of death.

So how would history's most legendary killer fare against the fight some

consider history's most perfect warrior?

I'm giving the edge to the ninja.

Spartan's not going to be as used to fighting by himself as a ninja would be.

And so as long as the ninja can get by the spear, I give the advantage to the

ninja.

The spear is a Spartan's primary weapon. Eight feet of iron -tipped retaliation.

This is a deadly weapon. It pierces armor. It pierces body parts.

It leaves a deadly puncture wound. It also can be used with the edge as a

-sharp cutting tool as well.

To measure the striking force of the spear, our team attach high -tech fences

wrist, spear, and our ninja standing.

Take him down.

This red line is the acceleration of the spear, and when it shows

it, it is equivalent to falling two stories.

So if we held the spear static on the ground and somebody fell on it, falling

from two stories, that's what you're inflicting.

As a Los Angeles ER doctor and one of the first medics for ultimate fighting,

Dr. Armand Dorian has seen a world of hurt.

He'll examine just what the Spartan spear will do to the human body.

We can't use these weapons on actual human beings, so our next best bet is

ballistic gel.

The ballistics gel is going to give us the same consistency that you would find

in human tissue. We should get the same type of resistance as the sphere goes

through to actually see what type of damage it would do.

I'm now going to step away from the mic.

There's a definite fatal blow. You have a severe laceration. It hit the ribs,

fractured the ribs through the lung, broke through the heart, and you have an

exit wound here.

30 seconds.

This guy's dead. Beautiful.

Ninja!

Where's the ninja at?

And that's one strike.

That's the energy from the spear. It's moving the actual body backwards.

Jeez.

Well, the end story there.

That's for sure.

It's still sinking in. It's still sinking in. Yeah, it's still sinking in.

I can't argue with that, man.

enters the spear stats into the deadliest warrior computer program.

This program was developed by Slytherin Studios over in the UK, and it's taken

them five years to build it. Based on what I've seen so far, the Spartans are

lot stronger than I had expected.

When that spear hits the ninja, it's going to go right through him.

All we have to do is get within six feet of you.

You have no armor.

Our spear, as we showed...

We'll just go through you like... You mean that big flow thing that you can

out of the way of and then blink an eye?

Spartan Spear is just like any spear. It's long, it's pointy at one end, and

has a guy behind it. It's got no chance against the ninja.

Ninja's way too fast.

I was giving the edge to the ninja at first, but I'm starting to second -guess

myself now.

The major feeling I think that ninja has is to get close, he has to get within

the lethal range of the Spartan Spear. I think that's going to be his weakness.

So I'm not going to lie, the Spartan's pretty effective. He's got some nice

moves. The ninja definitely has some tricks up his sleeves for the Spartan.

Things he'll never see coming.

Coming up, brain versus brawl.

Screen versus power.

Battle to determine who is that dead Spartan.

In Southern California, we've gathered a world -class team of doctors,

scientists, and martial artists.

They're all here to answer a classic locker room question.

If a Spartan fought a ninja, who would win?

When these two face off, they'll each bring their own arsenal of deadly

Fubukari? Oh, yeah.

Shuriken? Yep.

Two comma or one?

Two. Two.

The ninja mastered a multitude of weapons, because if he couldn't hit you

one, he'd hit you with another.

Ah, ninjuto.

If I can't hit you high, I'll hit you low. If the low doesn't work, I'll come

back high.

In battle, ninjas used anything and everything to give them an advantage.

Spartans use just four weapons.

The Spartan has warfare boiled down to a very simple, very deadly method.

He uses a javelin at long range.

In close, he has a spear.

He has a deadly sharp hacking weapon called a xyphos, a short sword.

And a shield itself is a weapon.

Four weapons is much more effective than ten weapons you have to worry about and

think about.

Spartans are deadly, but predictable.

They're also very, very hard to kill.

The Spartan is a wall of bronze.

He's got armor from head to his toe. The only target the ninja has are the eye

slots. Other than that, there really is no target for the ninja.

So the Spartan has a very pretty set of armor, but of course the ninja were

already accustomed to fighting armored enemies.

I mean, after all, they fought the samurai, and samurai had steel plates in

their armor, much stronger than bronze.

But the ninja had weapons that were used against points that weren't armed at

all. Weak points, like the eyes.

One of the ninja's best weapons against armor is something a Spartan would never

expect to see on a battle.

Hollowed out eggs filled with crushed glass.

Using everyday ingredients, the ninja created the perfect recipe for blinding

enemy. The simple, yet most effective tool.

Crushing a hand, throwing it to samurai, they had no chance.

The use of black eggs began rumors that ninjas could disappear in a cloud of

dust.

To test their effectiveness in battle, our scientists set up a high -speed

camera and a Spartan victim.

We're going to track the black egg and see just how much glass gets into the

Spartan's eyes.

Let's get him suited up. Okay.

This is him?

Yeah.

All right.

Spartan helmet is no defense against the ninja's crushed glass.

Whoa, that is full coverage on both eyes.

Whoa.

It's going to be brutal. It's definitely going to affect him in the simulation.

Think about that. Ground glass straight in your sockets. It would get worse with

every blink, too, because you're slowly grinding those glass shards into the

cornea. One step closer to the kill.

Take his morale down.

Absolutely.

If you can actually get glass in the eye, which is on the cornea, it's

devastating. The amount of pain is excruciating. Your vision becomes

And it's not something that you can get rid of easily.

But glass.

wasn't the only substance in the black eggs.

Ninjas also filled them with concentrated liquid made from chili

Splash damage, man.

That's the world's first pepper spray.

Obviously, your eye is one of the most sensitive parts of your body, and pepper

to your eye is extremely painful.

It's not what you want if you're going to be fighting somebody.

What the ninja egg actually does is it sets the Spartan up for a death blow

the ninja.

I mean, you get that splatter on top of an enemy's eye socket. Stuff leaks in,

starts getting back there.

Intense, severe burning sensation.

I mean, the ninja's going to win the battle hands down. You know, it's just a

matter of time.

Spots and team disagrees.

That's it. Perfect.

A Spartan was used to pain. He spent his entire life in pain and discomfort.

His whole training was oriented to make him hard, to make him inured to pain.

Glass in his eyes, sure, it inflicts some pain, but it won't stop him.

Spartans trained the way they fought.

Brutal.

And with full contact.

Meeting force head on.

A Spartan was a soldier and nothing else. He spent his entire life training

be a warrior.

For a ninja, training was much more holistic.

It wasn't about just running out there and hitting things as hard as you can.

was about precision.

The ninjas worked on perfecting technique so that every strike would be

accurate as possible.

But instead of meeting force with force, it was deflected.

throwing an enemy off balance.

For a ninja, training consisted not just of physical force, but also mind over

body. That's how he won against a samurai.

That's how he's going to win against a Spartan.

They have some tricks up their sleeve, but they're tricks.

Battles are won by tricks.

Won by the best warrior with the best weapons.

Well, the Spartans were fantastic warriors in their own time.

But to a ninja, something like a Spartan?

Just a big piece of meat.

To a Spartan, a ninja would be nothing but vermin. He'd be a peasant, armed

weapons he doesn't deserve to carry, fighting better men than himself.

Scurry around in dark places like a cockroach.

So far, we've tested the Spartan spear and the ninja's black eggs.

And to be frank, those black eggs are a really powerful weapon. When they hit

home, they do some major damage.

However, in comparison to the Spartan spear, they're nothing.

That thing is a killing blow every time it hits.

100 % lethal.

So as it is right now, I would have to give it to the Spartan.

Spartan has the edge in mid -range weapons.

For close -up action, the ninja unsheathes a sword with legendary

Spartan versus ninja.

would win a no -holds -barred battle to the death.

Every suit of armor has a weak point.

That's what the ninja would exploit.

I don't care how well -trained the ninja is, he's never taken the blows that a

Spartan has from the time he was eight years old.

In ancient Greece, Spartans fought their way into history.

In Japan, ninjas slipped quietly into legend, taking on highly trained armored

samurai and winning.

Ninjas developed a weapon for every situation.

They're all reliable. It's a sword that combines devastating cutting power with

amazing speed.

It's a variation of the actual samurai katana called a ninjutsu.

A ninjutsu.

Three feet of razor -sharp steel.

Perfect for slashing and stabbing.

One of the secrets is the scabbard is long.

But the blade inside is just a little shorter, which makes it a lot faster on

the draw.

Fast, deadly, and 2 ,000 years more advanced than a Spartan's Bronze Age

This is tempered steel, okay? So you think it's going to make it through the

shield? I think it'll make it through his helmet.

There you go. You are by a sharp place. Just be careful. Okay.

The team uses a skeleton encased in ballistics gel to mimic the resistance

human flesh and bone.

As a former paramedic, Jeff Damoline knows what it takes to kill a man.

There's at least...

Six inches there of penetration, which means that the major blood vessels to

arm would have been lacerated, as well as the lung. And so essentially the

would be pumping the blood out of the body, which would take literally seconds

for this person to die.

Nice. Very nice.

The numbers don't lie.

The ninjato is the most lethal weapon we've seen.

So far. The velocity of your sword was much higher than that of the spear of

Spartans. That's probably equivalent to you going through a 2x4 with that sword.

Wow. Look how amazing that was.

Unfortunately for the ninja, the Spartan isn't wearing wooden armor.

The armor of Spartan is like a battle tank. He closes quickly.

He puts a shield into his enemy.

He puts a sword into his gut.

Spartan's short sword is only 20 inches long, but it shaped the maximum killing

power.

A deadly sharp sword, very, very heavy towards the cutting part.

That's what we call the sweet of the sword.

This can actually hack off a man's limbs with one good slap.

Barry honed his sword skills during his eight years as a Green Beret.

This part cuts the throat. It flashes inside the thigh of the femoral artery.

stabs to the guts.

It keeps close and personal.

I think the ninjas are going to have a tough time with this.

Again, all the power comes from down low from my hips, driving the sword into

him. All that power.

Get out!

How deep do you think this went?

Let's find out. I mean, this is pretty gnarly looking right here.

Now, you see there from the residue of the gel, we're talking six, seven

That's ridiculous.

Dude, I'm sorry. You're double bad.

But the damage should have been even more severe.

You see here that I actually hit the steel column that is the spinal column

this dummy and bent the tip of the sword.

That's how hard we hit it. Of course, if the spinal column had been made of a

real human tissue, it would have severed it.

Barry's collision with the steel spine and our gel torso prevents a high -tech

comparison of the two swords.

So the team sets up a different test.

They obtain the closest substitute, the human flesh.

A pig has the same flesh type, same types of bones, vessels as a human body.

The short sword was proven to be a lethal weapon, but not as deadly as the

ninjato.

I can feel it actually crunching through the bones. You can see it bend just a

little bit.

There's a strain on the blade. Did you see it rotate like that? Any other blade

would have snapped for sure.

Yeah, it goes through the pelvis, through the spine.

That's right around the area where the Spartan doesn't have any armor either.

if you hit the Spartan like this, we would see a similar injury.

Is that an insta -kill?

Yes. The spinal cord is cut. The major artery is cut.

Exsanguination, 30 seconds, dead.

How would you program this in the model?

I can't even begin to imagine.

There are going to be a lot of parameters that I have to tweak. I mean,

wound is so big, we don't even have to worry about bleed out.

Right now, I'm giving the edge to the ninja.

I think the ninja will win.

The ninja's weaponry has just made it to a higher standard.

We're seeing steel age technology against bronze age technology.

And I think we see why steel is superior.

Ninjato gives the ninja the edge at close range offense.

But our Spartan experts aren't fazed.

They have yet to reveal the weapon that made Sparta a superpower for more than

500 years.

The Spartan has this one advantage the ninja cannot counter.

The shield.

Coming up.

A non -stop ninja assault versus the ultimate defense to decide who is

the deadliest warrior.

When it comes to combat, Spartans and ninjas are opposites.

A Spartan never retreats.

He lives to feel the blood of his enemy.

A true warrior stands toe -to -toe, shield to shield in the battle line, his

sword, his spear, his shield.

That's all man fights.

But a ninja prefers the element of surprise.

So a ninja has no armor, no ways of protecting himself if he gets hit. And

that's a big if, because a ninja's not going to get hit. A ninja's much faster,

much more agile, and has a better array of equipment at his disposal.

One of the ninja's simplest and most effective weapons.

It's the blowgun.

Made from bamboo, it fires small dots that pack a huge punch.

What do you think?

Arm shot, arm shot, lower torso, neck area.

Everywhere the Spartan doesn't have armor.

Exactly. No armor.

These may look small and flimsy.

But the tip is drenched with a severely toxic chemical known as tetrodotoxin. It

comes from the pufferfish or blowfish.

And a small amount basically can kill somebody in a minute.

With a concentrated poison on the tip, they hit you, you die, game over.

The ninja's most famous distance weapon was the shuriken, a ring

of razor -sharp steel that always hits.

Point first.

Gentlemen, let me introduce to you one of the most lethal weapons,

the shuriken or ninja star. When you throw the shuriken, you throw it in this

technique right here. You throw it as fast and as hard as you can.

Yeah, this actually kind of looks like four scalpels. That's right, Doc. Four

scalpels flying at your face, flying at your eye socket, flying at your neck,

and flying at your sternum.

I can pour those into your chest. What do you think they're going to do to you?

I'm still questioning the lethality of these shurikens, but even a distracting

tool has to be fast and it has to be on its mark.

So I brought the speed gun and we have a target for you to practice on.

47 miles an hour.

48 miles an hour.

Stuck it right in the bone. Yeah. Here you would definitely break some ribs,

perhaps puncturing the lungs. You would get the liver and cause some significant

bleeding. If you hit somebody like this, they would die from it.

Throwing stars and poison dots are lethal when they hit their mark.

What if there's no mark to hit?

From his shins all the way to the top of his head, the Spartan is cased in solid

bronze armor.

I just don't see this as being lethal. It's a very sweet weapon if you're

throwing against a naked savage.

But against an armored, bronze -clad warrior, I still think you're in deep

jeopardy.

Though their armor supports close combat, the Spartans have a distant

their own.

The Spartan javelin was designed to be thrown at armies, not individuals.

This is not like the javelins you see in Olympic Games, for instance.

It's almost like a dart, only three and a half feet long.

And of course, in the hands of an expert, these things can be really

Right into the diaphragm, we're looking at major damage there.

This is about the pancreas of the body. How far did it go in there, Barry? It

went all the way up to the wire, which is about 2 1⁄2 to 3 inches.

What we just saw looked impressive, but the actual damage is not as significant

as you would think.

The javelin would need to have a perfect strike to cause significant damage.

But the long -range results in.

The Spartan javelin isn't as lethal as the ninja blowgun.

The ninja has a definite edge at long range.

None of the ninja's weapons will do anything if they can't get past the

shield. The Spartan, going into battle against the ninja, has this one

the ninja cannot counter.

Anything he throws, be it shuriken, blowgun, is deflected off of the shield.

Almost four feet across.

Made of wood covered in bronze, this shield helped Spartans become legends.

The most important part of a Spartan's military equipment was his shield. When

the Spartans fought the Persians in Thermopylae, the Spartan's shield

any weapon the Persian had, whereas the Spartan's spear would clear through the

wicker shields of the Persians.

The shield provides a solid defense and an almost unstoppable offense.

You step in with a thrust.

As you step in, you close with your opponent, cocking your shield back for a

devastating strike to the cheek of your opponent.

You could hit him with the flat of the shield and knock him on his pants.

You could take the edge of the shield and you could break his bones.

It's a steamroller. It just pushes through the enemy.

To accurately measure the shield's force, our team wires up a high -impact

dummy.

Jeremy, take a look at this. We haven't seen these numbers yet.

This is over 45 Gs you inflicted on that dummy's head.

I've tested trauma for automobile accident, IED explosion, punches to the

and this is the highest acceleration I've seen in a dummy so far.

What did we get? Field shock here.

Oh.

Looks like you bent your shield.

I just grazed it, too.

So we're talking depressed skull fracture, instant unconsciousness, brain

laceration. How does that compare to the spear?

I'd say this is much more deadly than the spear was.

Generating 45 Gs is way beyond what you actually need to penetrate the skull and

cause death.

So being hit by something like that shield is basically a death blow.

The Spartan shield is an overwhelming weapon.

But the ninja team isn't worried.

What about that?

Has to have the Kusarigama. I love it.

Coming up, the ninjas unleash a savage weapon that slices, dices, and smashes.

Stay tuned to find out who will be the deadliest warrior.

In a showdown between a ninja and Spartan,

The battle boils down to one simple question.

Can the ninja get past the Spartan's shield and find a weak point in his

You have to remember, the Spartan is an armored warrior, unlike anything the

ninja's ever seen before.

His head is encased in a bronze helmet. His body armor is made of the same

thing. It's solid bronze.

No slash, no cutting technique is going to penetrate that armor.

It'll glance off, it'll scratch it, but it won't penetrate it. Our Spartan

experts are confident.

But the ninja had a secret weapon that was designed to kill armored samurai.

Kusarikama is two weapons in one.

A razor -sharp scythe combined with a fallen chain on the end.

This big sickle part right here is something that farmers use to cut wheat,

grain, that sort of thing. Very useful for hooking, trapping limbs. You can

catch somebody's weapon, strip it out of them, catch them by the neck.

Send right here, free -hanging weight.

Use that to get up some nice momentum. You get this sucker wrapped around your

limbs, spins closer and closer to the center, so the force takes care of the

rest.

The side end is going to be on the left.

Okay, breaking the two lower ribs right there.

Look at that sharp wave.

It gouges at least two to three inches inside.

You actually punch it in the lungs as well, for sure. Absolutely.

If you actually pierce, what you're going to do then is rip it out.

Take everything that it's attached to straight out of the body.

Kusarigama, fast and lethal.

But our Spartan experts aren't worried.

This is the acid test.

You can't cut through this.

You can't get to the soft, squishy parts underneath.

And my guess is you're not going to be able to do that. This is 12 -gauge solid

bronze. You can't cut through the bronze armor, and all the wounds you deliver

will just be nicks.

Good luck, laddie.

You're going to need it.

This is going to determine a lot of armor penetration for the simulation.

I mean, there's been a lot of talk about this as being your big weapon against

the Spartan.

Combs?

Oh, nice face.

Thank you.

You're in the moment.

I don't want that coming at me. Oh, wow.

Oh!

It's denting for sure, but... Of course, where does the blade go next?

It goes right up next to the neck.

From there, exactly where the blade's curving around right now, you go for the

back of the neck, go for the side of the neck, hook in there, drag. And that's

the one place he doesn't have armor.

Absolutely. Michael Laird tries hard to put a positive spin on it.

He's not armored everywhere, is he?

Take out one arm.

Take out the other arm.

Drops his shield, drops his spear.

Of course, the only thing he wants to do is take out the rest of it.

Just what a ninja wants.

The ninja a -selling.

Nobody's buying.

I think it was both, and I don't think the Spartan would be very bothered by an

impact like that. So right now, I'm giving the edge to the Spartan.

But to fully understand the Kusarigama, we need to test both ends.

Hey.

Nice job. Look at that.

Oh, my gosh.

What do you think, Doc? Did I get him? Well, there's a huge dent there. Only

way to tell for sure.

Looks like a little miniature car crash going on inside there. Yeah, exactly.

You feel the heads rotating like that? Yeah, look at that.

You're getting direct contact compressing the spine, which could

a chance of paralysis.

And the head rotation itself due to the ball could be a kill shot as well.

Hey, guys.

Difficult to get past this one, I tell you.

Wraps around the helmet, strikes the top, breaks the crest.

Guys, you like putting that thing on yet?

Turns the head.

Very impressive.

Now, you're going to stun the Spartan perhaps for a second or two, but no

than a sword blow to the side of the head or a spear blow or a shield blow

he's used to taking every day in combat.

I didn't disagree.

I think the leather padding inside wouldn't absorb the energy. I think it

just translate the energy from the helmet to the neck.

That's why I'm suspecting a neck injury in this case. I mean, if we're sitting

our head out like that, we're going to be whacked. But we're going to be moving

around, and it's not going to connect that way. That's what he counted on.

That's why he hit the back.

That's why he didn't go straight through your shield. We're going to see that

thing come in. It's going to whack that shield and just skip right over maybe,

you know. So you're telling me your eyes are tracking a small beam pole about

that big that's black whipping in the air? We'll be watching your shoulder.

Brother, we got full extension beyond your spear. Yeah, okay. Way beyond your

spear. This is a good blow, but hey, it can happen that way in a real battle.

Even if it doesn't, we're not a single track mind. We're not just standing

whipping it around.

We're setting you up. We're playing chess on you. You think you know what

doing. You have no clue. Just when you think you're fighting your fight, you're

actually fighting ours.

Our experts remain convinced that their fighter will win.

And our testers are now divided.

I think it's going to be the Spartan. That shield is just so massive, I can't

imagine the ninja getting around it. Up until we saw the Kusurigama, I thought

the Spartan had the advantage, but the Kusurigama provides for blunt trauma

that's devastating, and it also provides for some distance.

Our experts can't agree, but the numbers don't lie.

The shield gives the Spartan the edge in special weapons.

After three days of non -stop testing, Max Geiger will take the results and

them into the computer.

that will simulate the battle.

Coming up, Spartan, Ninja, the battle begins.

Chef Tamerlan and our testing team run the final test on the Spartan and the

Ninja. Now, they're about to find out who is... The deadliest warrior.

The team tested four sparking weapons.

The javelin, spear, sword, and shield.

They tested the ninja shuriken, kusarigama, ninjato, blowgun, and black

Out of the three different long bits and weapons, none were very effective.

The javelin isn't all that accurate. It's not going to stop anybody in their

tracks. Same thing for the ninja stars.

The blowgun, on the other hand, one hit, one kill.

Edge, Ninja.

The medium range.

Our team tested two very different weapons.

The black eggs are definitely going to hit, and they're definitely going to do

some damage.

Ninja's going to be able to wear the Spartan down a little bit. But the spear

absolutely lethal. When it does catch him, it's an absolute killer.

Edge, Spartan.

For close range, we tested two razor -sharp swords.

When it comes to the sword, there's no comparison.

The Ninjuto, it's longer, it's lighter, it's faster, it's stronger.

Ninja has the advantage.

Edge Ninja.

Our experts had two choices for special weapons.

The Kasurigama is a devastating weapon.

But the shield is both a defensive and offensive weapon.

So at the end of the day, I think I'm going to have to give it to the Spartan.

Edge Spartan.

Max now loads the results into a state -of -the -art computer program that will

determine the winner.

These numbers are going to tell us that when a spear punches through somebody's

ribcage, how hard are those bones going to crack and how badly is that guy going

to bleed?

Prevent the fight being won by a single lucky blow.

Max will simulate the battle 1 ,000 times.

It will be a battle of opposites.

Speed against strength.

Steel versus bronze.

Direct versus deviant.

I've got about all the numbers that I can handle at this point.

So what do you say we see who our deadliest warrior is? I'm looking

it. Lock and load.

Thank you.

When I ran the battle a thousand times, I saw that the Spartan won 65 % of the

time. The determining factor in this fight was the Spartan's shield.

The ninja was able to win about 35 % of the time. He definitely left the Spartan

bloodied and incapacitated, but he just wasn't able to win.

I'm surprised that the Spartan actually won such a high percentage.

It seems to actually boil down to the fact that the ninja can hurt the

but the Spartan can kill the ninja.

You know, I'm disappointed, but if a ninja saw a Spartan in real life, he

just run away. He'd come back and kill him in his sleep.

The ninja had some surprises.

He certainly had some skills, some great moves.

I think the ninja would have done well against almost any warrior in history,

except the Spartans.
