CUT THE BULLSHIT FRANK

Or something. Masamune already has too many people with personal vendettas against him, especially Murasame, so the battle would eventually end up with other people pitching in to kill him. Masamune has allies, but again Murasame could clean them up.

One on One Masa still may potentially win, but my Money's on Vorpal. Katanas are much better than those honking Bastard Swords. If it weighs four bazillion pounds Vorpal could potentially get it stuck in a wall, kill the pirate shape, and then break it using say, a trash compactor. Or place it in a small cardboard box, where a human cannot be formed in.

PFFT! The Star Sword would so give Masamune and Vorpal a run for their money.

We could use The Ennead as a basis for the outcome of this fight, but we never actually got that far, so...

It does, however, point out that the only way they beat Masamune is by tricking him into clashing with Murasame. They beat Vorpal (the 1st) by simply stabbing him in the back.

It's still unfairly in Masa's favor.

I voted for Vorpal because he has a cooler name.

Plus he bribed me.

Maybe because I'm not a very good writer. Ever think of that?

And it's a damn good question! My money's still on Vorpal, since I can't change my vote even if I wanted to.

I'm sorry, Vorpal. You're vaguely Japanese and taken from Lewis Carrol, and basically Darth Vader on Casual Friday. Masamune's named after a famous sword maker, AND he's a pirate.

Everyone knows the only thing in the Universe that can defeat a pirate is a cowboy.

If I ever go into a deathmatch, I'm going as a cowboy.

Honestly. John Wayne vs Orlando Bloom. Need I say more.

Or ninjas.

It depends on the cowboy and the ninja in question.

Hooray.

It also depends on the number of fighters. Everyone knows that the more of a type of group there are, the more they'll suck. One cowboy can easily defeat a group of ninjas, and one ninja can easily defeat a group of cowboys, especially if they're wearing black hats. It doesn't have to be one vs a group either. There could be five ninjas that can defeat a group of cowboys, as long as there're more cowboys than ninjas. Of course, this wouldn't be true in real life since swords don't do crap against guns.
