The Samurai while clearly being overrated by some other users, is a top contender in this fight. His skill and armor makes the inferiorly armored immortal fall to third anf the armorless Zande dead last. His only real comptetion is the Highlander. I'll give this to the highlander for 3 reasons. 1.His armor has no gaps, is a one continues wall of rings that will stops slashes stabs an arrows, the Samurais armor is well made but the iron sclaes can be penatrated with a stab stom a heafy weapon like the Claymore or even the dirk, The Sclaes won't fail but becasue there laced together they can be seperated with enough force. Plis under his armpit is open as are his inner thighs, shins his forarms. 2. His bow is the only bow here that can and will penatrate armor, the Yumi bow lacks the arrow head type and power to go thru the highlander mail. 3. His mid range weapon are superior in reach and affectivness against the Samurai, The Lochaber Axe can hack and chop at the Samurais wooden setion of his armor, give a desent stab and can hook and pull, the Claymore despite the common thought, isn't slow, it may not be a fast as the Katana but the sheer force of it's hit will casue damage where as the Katana won't hurt thr Highlander thru his mail.

I keep hearing how well trained the Samurai is. He may of been well trained but so were the other three. It's a disgrace to the true samurai that people have these inncorect notions about him. These truly great warrior are viewed in inncorect manners by the popluar media that make them out to be somthing there not. While the media version is more impressive, it's also inncorect, to truly do these warrior justice you have to unerstand them as they truly were, not so hollywood mumbojumbo. Seriously, the Katana cann't cut steel or even copper of any reasonable thickness that would be used in battle any better than any other sword, you can't just cut metal with a sword blade like that it's immpossible. You'd ruin the blade of any sword if you tried to cut metal with is
