Why are the samurai so weak?

[Naruto D Luffy]

Samurai should be stronger than ninja. Why are they so expendable in this manga?

Examples

- Zabuza took out a bunch of samurai using a kunai in his mouth.
- Sasuke also beat a bunch of them without trouble

 

[grizzlyshree]

Because the manga is about ninjas! i think both are strong in real world

 

[Flakez]

Because they are irrelevant in this manga. It's about ninjas, not samurai.

You're incorrect, Mifune is a samurai, he seems to be pretty strong being able to take down hanzo? :bouncy:

[Forbidden Tale]

The manga is about ninjas and weren't in real life ninja stronger than samurai?

 

[Klad]

Because Naruto is about Ninja .

Go and read Vagabond and you will see the true worth a samurai . They are not weak ; they're stronger than Ninja in real life .

It's about ninjas, not samurai. - This.

 

[St Joseph]

Samurai are meant to be better than Shinobi in Tai and ken, but this manga will focus on ninja more than Samurais, which is why it may not be showcased as such.

 

[WhistleBlower]

Those samurais were fake's just a bunch of people they gathered to look powerfull.

- The once at the castle where they want to seek out the sword zabuza had was hired inexperienced people as well. The real samurais are Mifune and those at the Five kage mansion.

- They might look weak but their pretty strong, it's just because they made sasuke so ridiculous strong he were able to nuke them all.

difference between Ninjas and Samurai

 

[~Sky~]

The writer doesn't value them.

 

[Drakengard]

The examples you use showcase named, important characters (I mean c'mon, sasuke?) against no-name fodder x_x ninja beat other fodder ninja all the time so it's not that strange. Remember that an earlier Sasuke beat hundreds with ease~

[Honord Sage]

It was a Samurai who took Edo Hanzo down in the war. and Theirs a reason why the Ninja Nations don't attack their country and why their in this war.

The manga is about ninjas and weren't in real life ninja stronger than samurai?

No. Samurai were highly trained in both armed and unarmed combat: katana, naginata, bow, jujutsu, and pi gua. They were also highly educated and were known to be artists and poets, and adhered to a code of honor.
Ninjas were commonly mercenaries acting as thieves, spies, and assassins that possessed no code of honor; they were dirty fighters that used guerrilla tactics. Hystorically they were likely trained in ninjutsu (in real life, it's not magic) and typically used whatever they could find as a weapon.

Ninjas in the Narutoverse were also confirmed to originally be rogue samurai.

Onoki said that the samurai are very formidable and no ninja village will dare attack them. But, fodder is fodder. The real problem is that, aside from Mifune, there are no samurai that were made to be more than fodder. We can at least infer that fodder Samurais > fodder Ninjas.

Nope Ninjas where just Spies and specialized in information retrieval, gathering and stealth assassinations, direct combat wasn't their forte and that was Samurais strong suit.
