Why the fuck would anyone ever write an essay about that.

because some people (not myself) are really into swords and stuff
and are fed up with all of the bullshit about swords weighing several kilograms etc.

who would win in a fight,
samurai or knight?

A Spartan would beat them both.
As would a Roman.

No.
A spartan doesn't need armour. If they tense their muscles all man made weapons will simply bounce off.

Hard to say
samurai swords/katanas are cutting swords that won't do much to plate armour whereas a knight's sword is a mix of a cutting weapon and a clubbing weapon, but the samurai would be more agile (not that a knight and a samurai would have ever fought each other, obviously)

There's no perfect sword; someone with a pair of nepalese fighting knives (kurkris) will easily defeat someone with a longsword if they're an expert.
