I personally stand out of the crowd with a few people and believe that knights will win in a battle and this can be seen in their training, weapons and armor, and codes. The first way that knights have an advantage is heavy armor. According to document d, it says “A knight’s armor can weigh 40 to 60 pounds. The development of guns ended the use of armor, Any armor thick enough to stop a bullet would be too heavy for a person to wear.” People who believed that samurais will win because of the knight’s armor being too heavy for them to wear, this proves that armor wasn’t a big impact to them and they removed it for advanced armor, Another piece of evidence that supports the claim is also in document d.…

If suicide did not happen the people with diseases must then live in isolation from the real world. This is not the end though, after someone contracts a disease life still goes on and he appreciates the little parts of life more.…
