Lets look at the special weapons first:

1. Khanjar vs Chigiriki

Although the khanjar can more easily deliver a deathblow, the Chigiriki has a greater range on it, and can be used to slap the knife from Saladin's hand and then utilized for another strike. However, the Khanjar can also be thrown, unlike the Chigiriki, which gives it more range after all. Though the Khanjar fails in close quarter melee attacks, it does out-distance in long range (throwing).

Edge: DEAD EVEN

2. Kitana vs Scimitar

I think the Kitana is a better quality blade, of a masterful design, but It would not have much of an advantage oiver the scimitar, and the latter could prove longer. Here, once again, the edge is...

DEAD EVEN

3. Yari vs Pike

The Yari has a much longer blade than the pike. Although I would like to know the length of the wooden staffs of both weapons, I think the Yari has the advantage, due to the sheer size and length of the blade.

Edge: Oda!

4. Yumi vs Recurve bow:

Not much needed here; You have already made a good case for the Recurve bow being better than the Yumi, due to versitality of the weapon

Edge: Saladin

Due to the long range advantages he has (Knife throw and Recurve Bow), I am voting for Saladin to defeat Oda. Longer ranged weaponry often is key to victory.

Winner: SALADIN
