let's get this started no?

Ryu Hayabusua vs. Samonosuke Akechi: Hooooo boy, now this is a tough one right here. When it comes to swordsmanship, both warriors are equal to each other. They will counter and parry each others attacks with both of them recieving little to no damage. Although, when it comes to range Ryu takes this by far due to the Fiend's Bane Bow longer range and destructive stopping power; however, Samanosuke's Omimusha will be a great hinderance to Ryu since it increases Samanosuke's physical attributes greatly, making harder for Ryu to subdue and kill him even with the Nippo techniques. If I had to choose between the two I go with Ryu Hayabusa by the skin of his teeth, due to his greater long range weaponry, his variety of nippo magic, and his better experience against stronger opponents. Edge: Ryu Hayabusa.

Leonardo vs. Samurai Jack: I have to go with Samurai Jack on this one. Although Leonardo would be a worthy foe who give Jack a run for his money it is Jack's superior swordsmanship that will overwhelm the ninja turtle in close quater combat, who will in the end would subdue Leo with a bonk to the head to end the fight. Edge: Samurai Jack.

Red Ninja vs. Red Samurai: although I'm not a huge fan of the Samurai series, I'd have to give this to The Red Samurai due to his greater variety of weaponry and the access of all the power of the samurai rangers makes them stronger, faster, and more versitle compared to the Red Ninja Ranger. Edge: Samurai Red.

Winner: Team Ninja. Although Team Samurai takes two of three fights going on this battle, I think Ryu's powerful Dragon Sword, variety of Nippo magic, and greater experience in fighting deities will help him subdue and take out the other two Samurais in a long and hard fought battle. Overall I give this to Team Ninja.
