BG1's "Vote Trade coz some time ago I've been doing a similar battle?" Edges:

Close Range: The ninjato is superior to the makraka given that the ninjato is not too curved (just ever so slightly) allowing for stabbing as well as slashing to occur and that it is made of steel rather than iron

EDGE: Ninja

Mid Range: A black egg might act like a flashbang today but it aint lethal enough; the makrigga on the other hand is quite the opposite, its function alone allows for a kill but those spears can definitely become overkill

EDGE: Zande

Long Range: Seriously? One? Just ONE kpinga? Aside from that, the kpinga still gets the edge here because the ninja stars are simply too small to kill; maybe take out of action but not kill outright

EDGE: Zande

Special: The kusagarima is, as Swg states, a very versatile weapon seeing as how you have a scythe blade and a steel ball attached to both ends of a chain - yes you might not be able to throw it far as the botto and pima arrow (indeed bow and arrow > any thrown object) but when the gap closes between the two warriors, then the Zande will have a hard time defending himself from the weapon

EDGE: Ninja

X-Factors: Average of 79.75 for the Zande; Average of 78.75 for the Ninja

EDGE: Zande

Overall Winner: Let's face it, ninjas can be really cool warriors with their stealth and shit like that and while they do have the edge in close range and special combat (against that wicker shield, those bladed weapons will be like a hot knife through butter) they do not possess such skill to counter the ferocity and psych warfare their opponents bring, plus the ninjas themselves do not bring any protection with them at all except their robes; in other words, ninjas were only meant to assassinate like a spy and not fight like a soldier - that's for the samurai to do - so the winner here is the Zande Warrior
