Hattori Hanzo
Hattori Hanzo was the son of a minor samurai in the service of the Matsudaira (later Tokugawa clan), first entering combat at age 16. He quickly became renowned his tactical brilliance and combat prowess, being known to practice ninjutsu, and, in particular sojutsu, the art of spear fighting, Hanzo is known to have favored a 14-foot yari as his spear of choice. He was also so skilled in combat and at the art of stealth supernatural abilities were attributed to him, such as appearing and disappearing at will, telekinesis, and precognition. Hanzo became known for his actions at several major battles under Oda Nobunaga, including actions at the battles of Anegawa and Mitagahara. His most famous action, however would occur after Oda's death, when he saved the life of Oda's successor, Tokugawa Ieyasu in the Mikawa province and leading him to safety, and possibly playing a role in rescuing Ieyasu's family as well.

Shaka Zulu
Shaka kaSenzangakhona, known as Shaka Zulu in the West, was the ruler of the Zulu Kingdom of present-day Africa, who lived from about 1787-1828. He was known for issuing a number of military reforms during his reign, for expanding the Zulu Kingdom, and for a number of military reforms. Shaka's reforms included the use of a shortened spear with a lengthened head (sometimes to the point where it resembled a short sword) known as the iklwa as a stabbing weapon. The Zulus would charge into a formation enemy with their iklwa after throwing their assegai, or throwing spears, in a manner similar to the Roman's use of the pilum and gladius. Shaka also perfected a pincer tactic known as the "horns of the buffalo, which decimated British troops at Isandlwana.

My Edges
Short: Edge Hanzo: A sword is better than axe, due to his versatility

Mid: Edge Shaka: The yari is long and clumsy, and will ruin Hanzo's stealth. Shaka on the other hand used....he created the iklwa, he is master of this weapon, he knows how to use it best with the cow-hide shield.

Long: Edge Shaka: The javelin is more lethal than the shuriken.

Special: Edge Hanzo: Well the two sais are more lethal than simple wooden culb. Plus both can be thrown, but Hanzo still have 1 sai if he throws the second.

X-Factors
Armor: Hanzo 20, Shaka 40: This is Hanzo when he is ninja, NOT samurai, so he has no armor. Shaka at least has his cow hide shield, which can stop shurikens and sais.

Stealth: Hanzo 97, Shaka 77: Shaka wasn't that sneaky, he was more of a front line warrior and while he used ambush tactics from time to time, he cannot compare to Hanzo who is legendary for his stealth tactics.

Physicality: Hanzo 78, Shaka 90: Hanzo was fit and skinny, and was perfect assassin since 16 years old, but Shaka gets the edge here because he is taller and used to live in harsher climate. He also trained himslef and his men to feel no pain as they ran through thorns.

Training: Hanzo 90, Shaka 80: Hanzo trained since he was 16 years old, he was both samurai and ninja. Shaka on the other hand while didn't received any note worthy training, but he trained himself and his men to be conquerors.
