Pygmy Hippo's "Ninja vs. Zande" Edges

Short Range:The Zulu Axe is lighter and longer but the Wakizashi is made of better materials and has more options. Edge:Tie

Mid Range:The Yari is longer and has a deadlier point but the Iklwa is lighter and Shaka Zulu invented the weapon. If you invented your weapon and your opponent didn't, you have an easy edge. Edge:Shaka

Long Range:The Assegai is a javelin and has better range. The Shurikens couldn't beat a javelin on the show. Edge:Shaka

Special Weapon:The Sais are lighter and there's two of them. The Iwisa is longer but it's a blunt weapon and the Sais could block it. Edge:Hattori

Final Verdict:Shaka Zulu has the edge in weapons but Hattori Hanzo's X-Factors are better in this scenario. He's a ninja so he'll do better in low visibility than his warrior opponent. Unfortunately, in Deadliest Warrior, the fighters spot each other at the beginning usually which will give Shaka a edge. His shield and endurance work better in a straight-up fight and he's faster so Hattori can't escape into the shadows.

Winner:Shaka Zulu
