Interestingly enough though, they shied away from pitting the ninja against the samurai. Deadliest Warrior, a notable television program, wherein a team of history experts armed with the tools of science and technology have tried to recreate some epic battles, had a couple of really informative episodes involving both our warriors in question. Several movies and games have been made pitting one against the other, with variable results. Over the years, ninjas and samurai have fascinated both the young and old alike.
