      I mean it also is Ubisoft a company that hasn’t made a genuinely good game in a very long time. I mean if it’s good that’s great but the assassins creed franchise is a former shell of what it was the last one I like was Odyssey and it wasn’t because of the gameplay. The last one I like for gameplay was unity because the innovation with crowd size,multiplayer, and parkour. But they completely got rid of all that.

      This didnt age well.
      Based on the search results, Japan has expressed concerns and discontent with Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, a game set in feudal Japan. The game’s protagonist, Yasuke, a Black man, has been criticized by some for not being historically accurate, as he was never a samurai in real life. However, historians, including Yu Hirayama from Japan, have confirmed that Yasuke was indeed a real figure who served as a samurai in Japan.
      Ubisoft, the game’s developer, has apologized for the controversy, acknowledging that some elements in their promotional materials have caused concern within the Japanese community. This is not the first time Ubisoft has faced criticism from Japan; they previously apologized for using an unauthorized flag in their concept art, which belonged to a Japanese historical re-enactment group.
      It appears that Japan’s discontent with Assassin’s Creed: Shadows stems from perceived cultural appropriation and historical inaccuracies, particularly in the game’s representation of Yasuke and Japan’s feudal era. The controversy highlights the complex issues surrounding cultural representation and appropriation in gaming.

    Not even just the in-game design that would be copyrighted because it's Zoro's sword, they are buying Sandai Kitetsu swords on Amazon and marketing and reselling them as Assassin's Creed Merchandise for the new game.
    Plus all the 'facts' of Yasuke come from Assoicate Proffesor Thomas Lockley (of a university in Tokyo) and he had edited the Wiki just to promote his book about the legendary Black Samurai (His source? "Its a true story, trust me bro").
    He had gotten kicked from where he worked and Japan is investigating him because he promoted his book as fiction in Japan, but is stating it as Fact in the West.
    He deleted all his social media, and is getting called out by Japanese historians.
    He knows basically nothing about the time period, and the game devs don't know anything about Japan either based on how they are farming rice while having Sakura Blossoms at the same time. And that's just from what we've seen, the game isn't even out yet.
    He's an academic fraud, who has been spreading misinformation and straight up lying for the last ten years.

      @everettw.9610 4 месяца назад +12

      Yeah that was the issue I had with it. I understand the logic they took to get there, but it is certainly odd for them to use a real person as the protagonist.
      From what I understand, they wanted to tell a story of people in Japanese society who had been excluded then basically becoming empowered by operating in the shadows. While Yasuke is *technically* a real person, almost nothing is known about him as a fact, and I guess they figured it would be too coincidental to have Yasuke at the same time as a black protagonist, but figured it would be problematic to ignore Yasuke, so they just made Yasuke the protagonist. And figured it was fine since all modern historians can say for sure is that he was black, lived in Japan, and worked for Nobunaga.
      Personally, I think they would've been fine with just Naoe, *especially* since the last two games where they tried to have a female protagonist (Odyssey and Valhalla with Kassandra and Eivor Varinsdottir) were both forced to have a male option by Ubisoft execs - who have since been removed, so they aren't really an issue. Plus it solves the gameplay issue of having another non-stealth-oriented character in what is at least theoretically a stealth franchise. But it seems like using Yasuke was needed for the story they wanted to tell, so here's hoping they don't mess it up.

    I think a lot of people are missing the point that the Ubisoft writers probably wanted to play with the idea of an outsider adjusting to Japanese culture alongside a native as part of the narrative in the story. Yasuke fits the bill perfectly as a precedented but poorly defined historical figure that lets the writers do whatever they want with the assassins story while also not completely breaking history. Since it’s a dual-protagonist game it makes sense to create as much contrast between the two as possible so you get more interesting character interations

    I actually didn't know there was an African samurai serving under Oda Nobunaga himself. That's actually kind of cool. I always thought that the Black Samurai trope was just an interesting modern invention (Afro Samurai was an example I think? Haven't seen it, but also Da Samurai from Samurai Jack comes to mind). Being a warrior during the Sengoku period especially would have been quite difficult, let alone for someone foreign-born. The only major non-Asian visitors from the period to my knowledge were the Jesuit missionaries from Portugal, let alone any other country (especially during the Edo period where no-one was allowed into the country, period). For an outside man to become a retainer for one of the most well known Daimyo in Japanese history seems kind of significant.

      I’m not an expert, but I doubt that the black samurai trope stems from Yasuke. Anime, martial arts, and similar stuff has been a part of the black community for years; just look at the Wu-Tang Clan, The Boondocks, King Geedorah, or even how Piccolo from Dragonball has been widely accepted as black. Japanese and adjacent cultures have been a prominent part of the black community for quite some time now, so it wouldn’t exactly be far-fetched to think that black people would start depicting themselves as samurai’s eventually. So, in media, I would imagine that it is a modern invention but it still is interesting to know that a real black samurai did actually exist at one point.

    120 USD is crazy. And while I understand Light’s point, L is right that at least this time, this character was a real person too.

    Yasuke wasn't a samurai. You people make all these cope arguments and strawman our points, entirely ignoring the fact that YASUKE WAS NOT A SAMURAI.

      Could you please explain to me why him not being a samurai matters? I see this point a lot but I don't see why I should care.

      Was Miyamoto Musashi a samurai? If yes, so was Yasuke.

      Bruh next you’ll say Loki wasn’t a real person…
      Also it’s not a fact that he wasn’t a samurai. This is just modern revisionism from current day racists not wanting to believe a black samurai existed d

      @@Indigo_1001 No, it's cold hard fact that he wasn't a samurai, and saying otherwise is in fact the modern revisionism. You're delusional.

      Because that's what people naturally do before deciding to buy something. Because DEI bullshit is exhausting and corny. Why are you defending it?

      Light is definitely an Incel. If he triggered by this then vote with his wallet and don’t buy it, if you want a game, that’s assassin Creed like but in Japan, and then play
      ghost of Tsushima.
