The ninja would leap from tree to tree while stopping only for a short second to kill the bear.

In the game farkle, the bear beats the ninja. The ninja doesn't have a sword in the game, though.

Ninjas are overrated, they are only human.
Bear would own ninjas 3 times over and eat him for breakfast. The ninja would sh!t himself and drop his sword when he sees something that weighs 10 times as him charging him at 30mph.

are you people insane??

There's no way one ninja even if he had 2 swords could take on a grizzly? Maybe a small black bear but not a grizzly.

1. Bears are much faster than people give them credit for. Check out the nature channels and watch how bears hunt fish

2. Bears are pretty much at the top of the food in the animal kingdom, typically animals of that sort do not run when injured or are engaged in violence. Animals operate on instinct and a grizzlies instinct in a fight is to overwhelm its foe

3. A bear's claws versus a ninja's sword is no contest. Sure the sword is sharper but I guarantee that no ninja can muster up the strength a bear can when swinging its paw. Check faces of death for reference

4. Once the bear is in close range its all over, either the ninja will be crushed, clawed or mauled to death

The grizzly bear would win by a mile. For those who claim they're going to kill the bear with a 45 caliber... sure, the bear is going to die, but how far is he going to go before he's dead? I'd bet > 75 yards. I've seen where even a black bear has been shot through both lungs, yet made it a mile or more before expiring. If you think you're going to shoot a charging bear in the heart, dream on. That'd be like shooting the oil filter inside a car that was driving 30 mph down a bumpy road with bad shocks. If you think you're going to get both lungs shooting straight on, not a chance. If you think you're going to shoot it in the head, you're just going to piss it off even more as the bullet ricochets off on anything but a perfect shot. And, even if you do get a lethal shot off, the bear is not going to drop in its tracks.

Oh, one more thing...

Too many of you live in too much of a fantasy world. Get a grip on reality. The talents you're attributing to ninjas... lmao.

Each would train hard and master the advanced techniques of ninjitsu, but one would be swayed by the lure of power and money, become the CEO of a large Japanese conglomerate and plot to conquer the world. His plans would force the other two to take down his organization by themselves, using only their ninja wits and bearlike reflexes. In the final battle the youngest of the children, always known as the runt, would unleash the awesome fury of his true strength in an eye-popping 300-hit combo, knocking the evil sibling out the window of his top-level office and impaling him on the giant sword held by the 12-story-tall gold statue of himself. The runt would get the girl of his dreams and go off to continue the Bear-Ninja line, while the other sibling would take over as head of the conglomerate. Somehow, they'd both walk off into the sunset first.

As you can see, my reasoning is sound.

Ninjas are totally sweet and flip out all the time, but grizzly bears are > any human.

Sorry ninja. :(

Do you guys honestly think that humans never killed bears before the invention of the rifle? Properly applied intelligence pwns raw muscle.

Certainly. If the ninja can sneak up on the bear, or maybe a whole gaggle of ninjas can attack the bear like our pre-firearm forefathers, then the ninja wins. I find it hard to believe that a ninja wouldn't be bloody chowder if he measured tallywhackers with a bear in a duel at forty paces. The bear may die, but unlike the ninja, others will be able to identify the body.

The "situation" the OP described doesn't say the ninja can't sneak up on the bear...

Bear would own the ninja.

1)the sword of the ninja is the ninja-to NOT the Katana. Big difference in both size and sharpness. It is likely that the ninja-to wouldn't even cut through the think skin of the bear, forcing the ninja to rely on piercing THRUSTS. Not likely he will be able to kill the bear before being severly mauled.

2)ninja relys on stealth. He can move quietly and hide. Neither helps you against a bear because they hunt by SMELL.

I imagine the ninja would feed the bear for 1.5 - 2 days...

Very rarely.

I'd like to see your "properly applied intelligence" when you have an 800lb beast charging at you and you have 5 seconds to live.

The ninja would just stay high on top of trees and throw down his poisoned-tipped stars at the grizzly. Then the ninja would run away and come back the next day and find the grizzly dying from paralysis.

Tree. Climb. Wait until bear gets bored. Sneak up on bear later. Kill with any variety of methods.

If you're a ninja that is.

I would go with the ninja. They have so many weapons in their arsenal. That's gotta give them the edge.

The ninja could quickly scramble up a tree, then hang upside down from a limb. If the bear begins to climb the tree, the ninja can poke out both its eyes and cut off its front paws and maybe slash it a bit. It's all over from there. The bear can't climb, see, or slash with its front paws anymore.

I know bears are huge and powerful and sh1t, but come on - ninjas are totally sweet! ;)

Ninja would flee/dodge quickly, come up from behind, and sever the spinal column. Or perhaps serve a steel suppository. Maybe both.

Ninja would win.... The bear is definitely fast and strong, but the Ninja can do a lot of damage as long as he doesn't do something stupid and get the sword stuck on the first blow. He would need to do more stabbing motions and lunges with the sword because swipes wouldn't be effective enough against the bear's thick fur and fat.
