- Just when you think things can't get worse for Ubisoft... It does. Somehow, someone on the team forge to do a little fact checking. I also respond to some of your comments from the previous video.

The "inaccuracies" in other Ass Creed games are blatantly fictitious and not portrayed as historically accurate like Yasuke in Shadows. That's the difference. That and exposing Thomas Lockley and his fabrication of Yasuke with his book and the altered wiki articles.
They search Oda's sword. thinking they will see Oda's Nobunaga sword, instead they show Oda Eiichiro Zorro's sword, because Eiichiro Oda is more famous now in the internet than Oda Nobunaga
It's not about OP being more popular than Oda Nobunaga . They just took a cool sword design , thinking that nobody would make the research that they were supposed to do , and claimed they did about all aspects of the game and its promotion . Just look at the geisha drawings being used as props as well , when Geishas weren't from the Sengoku era .

In short dont nobody know shit!!!!
Had Ubisoft NOT doubled down on the situation and just stated that this was historical fiction this wouldn't have escalated. The Netflix Yasuke series being a good example. It's clearly a work of fiction with a light cyberpunk theme. Also doesn't help that Ubisoft also didn't hire anyone to oversee the level of accuracy for their take on feudal Japan which would have saved them loads of bad press and humiliation for backing the wrong horse in this race. Lockly's an asshole who sold a con only to get found out and is now hiding from the public probably hoping this all dies down. Also how the hell do you rip off something from a very popular IP like One Piece and expect to get away with it?
cherry picking lockley and that crazy yaoi lover as their historians, heavily aligns with ubisofts agenda
@@Veeolll The sad thing is you're right.
Nagoriyuki is the coolest samurai from guilty gear
I'm the one who wrote in the previous video.
You're right, I wish people of African descent would speak out against UBI and Thomas Lockley for trying to spread untruthful information.
I honestly think that their actions are disrespectful to people of African descent and may induce Japanese people to distrust people of African descent.
It is also disrespectful to Yasuke. In fact, I did not dislike the anime that used Yasuke as a model, but now I think it would be better not to use him.
I would like people to make an informed decision calmly and without emotion.
Not in a way like the CEO of UBI said, that the opponents are racist, but I want them to gather information from many sides.
Whether you buy it or not is a personal choice, so I can't say anything about it, but I do feel that if it goes on sale, people should know that it is a very strange work of historical and cultural expression.
Please do not think that this is the 16th century in Japan.
Finally, I am happy to hear that you enjoyed your trip to Japan.
前の動画でも書き込ませてもらった者です
その通りですね、真実でない情報を広めようとしたUBIとThomas Lockleyにアフリカ系の人からも声が上がってほしいと思います
彼らの行為は、正直、アフリカ系の人たちにも失礼なことをやっていると思いますし、日本人のアフリカ系の人たちへの不信感を誘発する可能性もあるかと思います
弥助にも失礼です、現に私は弥助をモデルにするアニメ等が嫌いではありませんでしたが、今は使わない方がいいのではないかと考えています
感情的にならずに、あくまでも冷静に情報を集めて判断をしてもらいたいと思います
UBIのCEOが言ったみたいに反対派は人種差別主義者だといった方法でなく、多方面から情報を集めてほしい
買うか買わないかは個人の自由ですので何も言えませんが、このまま発売されるなら歴史表現、文化表現のかなりおかしな作品であることを分かってほしいとは感じています
これが日本の１６世紀だとは思わないでください
最後に、日本旅行を楽んでくれたという事で嬉しく思います
AC even made him homosexual?
@@Rok_Piletic
I heard that UBI put in an intimate same-sex relationship (it's hard to describe in English, so please forgive me if my expression is wrong).
As for whether it's homosexual, we won't know until we actually see the finished game.
However, I am sure that some of the powerful people in Japan at that time had ”syudou”, so I am not going to criticize that in itself.
I have heard that such a practice existed in places where women were not allowed to approach, such as battlefields and religious facilities.
In fact, it is said that ”Oda Nobunaga”, who also appears in this game, and ”Mori Ranmaru” may have had such a relationship.
Although it is highly doubtful that yasuke had the same relationship.
I am not an expert on Japanese history, so I may have different opinions, but I think this is the general knowledge of Japanese people.
UBIが親密な同性関係（英語での表現が難しいですので表現がおかしかったら許してください）を入れたらしいことは聞きました
それがホモセクシュアルなのかについては実際に完成したゲームを見てみないとわかりません
ただ、当時の日本の権力者の一部には”衆道”というものがあったのも確かですので、そのこと自体を批判する気はありません
当時は戦場、宗教施設等の女性が近寄りがたい場所でそういうものがあったそうです
現にこのゲームにも出てくる”織田 信長”と、”森 蘭丸”はそういう関係だったのではないかと言われています
yasukeが同じだったかについてはかなり疑問ですが
私も日本史の専門家ではないので、もしかしたらいろいろな意見があるのかもしれませんが、日本人の一般的な知識としてはこんな感じだと思います
Whenever any piece of historical fiction has a inaccuracy, it never once tries to present itself as truth. Heck, previous Assassins Creed never tried to present itself as truth. But AC Shadows did.
This is why I think you’re the only anti-SBI/anti-DEI RUclipsr that I actually respect. You actually try to empathize with other perspectives and try to clear the waters of grifters playing the role of a anti-woke RUclipsr and people who genuinely care about standing up to DEI.
Your Japanese is ok, not shambolic but good
ローマ字で書かれた日本語は、スペイン語を読むように発音すれば、オリジナルの日本語に近い響きになるらしいですよ。
Thank you for the shoutout Mike! Daisuki da yo
Question: It’s Impossible to make such a thick book and thesis by historical Yasuke true story even we have just a couple of few Yasuke records. but Thomas made it. How ? Mr Thomas: Use some fantasy, creativity and my eyperbole to make Yasuke legends. My answer: This is colonize.
there are a lot of historical fiction writers in japan. but we do consider them as fiction about history, not historical facts.
a famous one is yoshikawa eiji, author of "musashi", a fiction based on miyamoto musashi. the novel is also adapted into manga, although the manga didn't continue until the end.
Exactly!! I love your opinion.
Nobunaga became a pretty girl in a lot of Japanese games which we love. If the developer say that this is historical accurate. Everyone is like you need a doctor…
And then a bunch of female say It's female discrimination!!! Everyone is like okay you need a doctor too…
It’s just exactly what’s happening here.
Btw your Japanese is good. Especially the pitch accent of おねがいします is 10 of 10 for me. I’m surprised.
@@user-io8ct4de5x ありがと ☺️ I'm still learning to read and write but I am getting there slowly haha. I totally agree with you. I have seen the female versions of Nobunaga and I think it's pretty cool as well haha. People just need to use their heads a little bit.
even historical fiction needs a good amount of historical accuracy to ground us in the historical world. and then you apply the fiction on top of it.
Who would have thought a little lie would be causing so much drama.
Ubisoft could’ve avoided all of this if they just did what they always do and made the historical figure an npc, and if they really wanted to make a Yasuke game why not just not tie it to assassin’s creed and make it fiction to avoid this
Bro. You had me going for awhile I thought I was tripping during the first 15 secs of the video . Good stuff
I watch Japanese historical dramas set in the Sengoku Period and yes, AC Shadows messed up with the page sitting level to Nobunaga. Pages sit behind or in front of the lord, not the same level. The only person at times that could sit level with the lord is the Lord’s wife. Even then, the Lord’s wife is sometimes sitting on the side.
Ubishit was just pure sloppy in this one.
I love the Sengoku Basara reference; it is a great show. On a different note, if Ubisoft had handled things differently, the situation wouldn't have escalated as it did. When I first saw the trailer, I felt it wouldn't go smoothly, but I didn't expect it to become such a mess.
All I need to know is the Japanese aren't happy about it. If anyone's opinion should matter more than anyone else's its theirs. Thats reason enough not to buy it in my book.
Asking for one's culture to be respected is racist now? Lmao bro this goes far beyond Yasuke. Ubisoft has been caught plagiarizing multiple assets and getting lots of things wrong. Yasuke is just the focal point because he's the one they put front and center. And because y'all have no other argument besides shouting "racism."
Ubisoft are being weird apologising.
ubisoft doesnt want their game to get banned by japan that's why they apologized
I don't think I have to look at the main character's skin tone to make an informed decision on whether or not I spend a hefty amount for a game and Ubisoft as a developer has given me enough reasons to be concerned. First and foremost I would want the game to be good.
I'm neither black nor asian, so I don't really have much I can say on the matters of representation - however as far as Assassin's Creed is concerned I think Yasuke would've made for a fantastic side character you encounter in the story.
After all he was a prominent figure who was by Nobunaga's side.
Generally, the events at Honno-ji and the betrayal of Akechi Mitsuhide against Oda Nobunaga is one of the most prominent tales in Japanese History.
With how much Ubisoft fumbled the bag, Japanese people are well within their rights to be upset. The misrepresented cultural depictions, the Zoro sword, the wrong Kanji, the Hip-hop Battletrack... It feels like they had the wrong consultants on their research for the game - or they just didn't care.
The worst part for me imo is how much the discourse around it becomes about racism or platforms racism.
There's actual racists blending into the crowd using the situation to spew their shit, but at the same time people on the other side just use that to deflect all criticism whatsoever.
It's such an unnecessary shitshow that has been just tiring and it's really draining to see how often the industry has come to this point in recent years.
It's absolutely shambolic.
Truth be told one can probably nitpick at games like Ghost of Tsushima or even fantasy games made by Japanese devs like Nioh and point out where things might not match with history, but in the end those games seemed to respect the setting a lot more. And I will give Ubisoft the benefit of the doubt on some points, because even if you get a historian to consult for you things are going to slip by. But when some people say they don't like this game, it really elicits a goofy response. After 10+ years of people hating on Ubisoft, suddenly people come out to defend them for some reason. Honestly along the lines of what you said, they could have made a standalone game about Yasuke or something and it probably would not have been like this, but the way Ubisoft frames this entire thing lacks respect for the setting.
動画をありがとうございます。日本語がとても上手でびっくりしました😊
今回の件で、一番迷惑を被ったのは弥助本人ですよね。弥助がかわいそう。そして弥助を愛していた子供達がかわいそうです😢
一部のDEIの白人が自分たちの思想を押し付けてしまった結果だと思います。
そのうちにみんなこの事は忘れて、またヤスケのアニメやゲームが出てくるといいなと思います😊
Thank you for your comment ☺️ and I hope so too. Hopefully we can move away from this situation and enjoy Yasuke in the manner we always had. In anime and video games!
日本語がお上手でびっくりしました！
この問題を取り上げて下さってありがとうございます。
私達日本人が怒っているポイントを公平な立場で冷静に紹介されていてとても嬉しかったです。
また是非日本へいらしてください！
ただし夏は異常に暑いので、夏以外の季節で…
Thank you :) I'll be there again soon. I went in the Summer last time and it was epic haha.
It’s so funny to see the historical inaccuracies in ac never really being a problem until one is a main character and now it’s the biggest and worst thing ever if they would of picked a regular real samurai but gave him super plot armor and a different status I doubt anyone would actually care as much as they do now
🤦♂️this shit could've been easily avoided 😂😂 damn doobiesoft
Your take is correct. Unfortunatley there's a bunch of racists that hate this for reasons other than just Ubisoft trying to depict it as fact. They hate it is because Yasuke is black, full stop.
The Japanese are angry on their own and there is no legal way to stop the release of Assassing Lead. So, it will be released on November 24, was it? If you don't mind, I think you should buy it. If you think it is a fantasy like Mario, not a fiction based on historical facts, which the developer says it is, and if you don't mind, you can buy it.
The first reason I noticed it is called the “Assassing Lead issue” because of UBI's initial poor response on this game, but it is not essentially an Assassing Lead issue, but overseas, it was released as The problem in Japan is “the problem of false information in a book that was released as fiction in Japan, which we believe to be the original, but is mixed with fiction overseas”. It is not about the game.
We are also angry “at the book” because the trailer shows that the game's worldview is a mess, that all of East Asia is treated in a mixed manner, that the expressions are discriminatory, and that there is the fact that cultural property was plagiarized.
Learning Japanese too?
Respect man, currently doing that myself.
It's... Coming along. I struggle with other languages that aren't English but I really want to take my wife and kids to Japan one day and know how to speak the language so I'm not THAT guy.
Eiichiro Oda. Nobunaga Oda. This is some Da Vinci Code stuff right here. Finally someone has the bravery to expose exactly what the Straw Hats were doing during the Warring States Period - AND how Nobunaga survived and became a manga artist. The glowing red eyes were accurate after all.
Why is historical accuracy unimportant when discussing Nanking, but important when discussing the exploits of a historical figure in a fictional depiction (video game)?
Sengoku Basara mentioned let's GOOOOO
Only second vid I’ve watched. Agreed with everything you said so Cant add anything more. Except… You look like Slash with the long locks 🤘 Looks good dude
😂😂 thanks dude.
Hello, I'm Japanese.
Thanks for bringing up the AC Shadows issue.
The problem this time, to put it simply, is cultural differences.
Ubisoft did not fully understand the characteristics of Japanese people and the culture that fostered them.
Perhaps the most perplexing thing for Westerners is why Yasuke in AC Shadows is denied while there is no problem in other works.
In Japan, modesty is considered a virtue regardless of the reality.
Exaggerating the facts for publicity is an object of contempt.
So, if it is a historical fact or a true story, the Japanese try to make it as perfect as possible.
But if it's fiction, it actually advertises itself as complete fiction, no matter how close it is to historical facts or true stories.
Ubisoft had to understand in advance that Japan has a culture that strictly separates the real from the fake.
From the Japanese point of view, Ubisoft repeatedly did things that should not be done against Japan.
The first thing Ubisoft had to do in order to promote it was to compare Yasuke from the real story to Yasuke from AC Shadows and how nicely they adapted it.
Of course, Yasuke in the true story and Yasuke in AC Shadows are different people.
Yasuke's life is born according to the number of fictions.
Just as Yasuke in the true story had human rights, we had to give human rights to Yasuke in AC Shadows.
After introducing the real Yasuke in front of people with respect, he had to brag about the wonderful new Yasuke.
If Ubisoft had done the promotion correctly, AC Shadows would have been the game they were trying to offer without any opposition in Japan.
8:00 Mike spoke so much facts he time traveled amazing 😂
Yasuke, 4th dlc character in Tekken 8. He's Yoshimitsu's great great great grandfather. Frozen by a magical spell, Yasuke broke free and now seeks out his grandson Yoshimitsu. In hopes of rekindling the relationship, they never had
Thank you for your presentation. Anyway, although Yasuke certainly existed, he was not given a family name, by ODA Nobunaga at all. This is clearly evidence that Yasuke was not a samurai. All Japanese people except non-Japanese people living in Japan such as Thomas Lockley can easily understand it instantly.
As far as I remmeber I never put Ubisoft at AAA developer after they went downhill with Splinter Cell and Far Cry series. They are more like above indie development
your "tsu" in "tsuite was missing the "t" sound but other than that, it was pretty good. keep up the language practice.
Thank you ☺️
This kinda reminds me of is the black Cleopatra I think people are just upset and tired of things not being as they were and companies try to change and twist how it was who knows maybe in few years we'll see someone try to depict Hitler as the good guy ....
The detractors used the Cleopatra incident to reassert a falsification of history in their own right, that is of on exogenous origin of Ancient Egypt and of North Africa, even though all of the archeological and anthropological data is abundantly clear that these populations were originally black African. The Ancient Egyptians themselves ( not the Greek settlers) depicted themselves not only physically but also engaging in the same culture as various East Africans today.
People need to realise that this outrage is being used to reassert racist propaganda.
The irony is all this could've been avoided and Ubisoft and all the DEI in enthusiasts could actually have still been happy. All they had to do was make him an unknown person to history who is black. Like you said in your video every other character is a made up fictional character. All they had to do was the exact same thing. It's so strange that this one time they decided to deviate.
(If anyone's wondering how this is irony. No I am not miss using the word. The ironic part is that Ubisoft have a formula everybody knows what an Ubisoft game is. If they're stuck to that formula, we wouldn't have this problem.)
If they made an unknown black character that wasn't Yasuke, people would've complained about there being a black character because they'd just complain he wasn't a Japanese man and doesn't fit there, or just say he's woke...like they say literally every black lead is. Because nowadays black has become synonymous with DEI, heck people demonized AC Shadows original trailer before they even announced it was Yasuke. I have zero evidence whatsoever the fanbase at large would accept any black lead that isn't a slave or hoodlum, there simply hasn't been any cases (not one I've seen personally) where ppl haven't complained about a black lead. I just notice, specifically for black ppl/characters. I mentioned it on a different video, but ppl normalizing the term "black fatigue" tells me ppl wouldn't be cool simply for his race
@@trillatsunset yes people would've complained that it's a black guy, or say it's woke you are not wrong. What they wouldn't be complaining about is the fact that Ubisoft are trying to rewrite Japanese history. And since we hear the woke complaints daily, it would literally be water off a ducks back at this point. People would complain, but it would not be anything like what it is right now.
Ubisoft is not going to stop being Ubisoft. They are not going to stop pushing the woke agenda. So people complaining about it really doesn't matter, if it did they'd have stopped it years ago. They are not they don't care therefore this whole controversy would've just resulted in Ubisoft being treated like Ubisoft if they just made it an unnamed character who was still black .
@@thatblindtekkenwarrior1177 i can agree to that, and with the complaints about Ubisoft, and I think the criticisms of them are all justified. personally, I can't stand them either (haven't for a while now). through all this, im mainly just frustrated that ppl haven't been fair regarding Yasuke as opposed to demonizing the company. I've noticed so many ppl all across YT and social media openly racist and speaking about disdain for black ppl existing at all in media, and so many have used this situation as a shield. ive seen ppl on IG, YT, X, Reddit and in person say some of the most bigoted things I've ever heard.
Mike has been really genuine on this, so I have deep respect for him and the Japanese ppl. its mainly the Western audiences overall that I noticed only go berserk on circumstances involving black characters but are quiet when the same things are done with other groups. I can admit I've been hostile some times, and I gotta apologize for that. it sometimes just makes me think "how much of this outrage is about historical accuracy and how much is just not wanting to see black leads".
When I was a kid I played ac3 when it was releasing and had a test on the braddock expedition and I got an A by just playing the game and looking at the database. The Japanese people not having an accurate game despite how simple it would be to do due to the resources is a fair criticism.
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa bro the generic trap beat drop in a Japanese classic scene just because the MC is Black is actually insane, what the hell are they smoking in Canada bro
To be fare for the hip hop cross over with japan samurai Champloo did that and it was great.... this is not samurai champloo and he is not modern day african american, he is from africa before hip-hop was invented.
Also a good samurai manga to read is Gammaran.
Its more grounded as it lacks supernatural abilities rather makes up with cool techniques and gripping fights that are just excellent.
If Yasuke will triple-wield, I am buying the game
thats the first gameplay footage I've seen of this game...that doesn't look like AC combat lol.
this debacle is way *WAY* bigger than Fallout 76's
As a famous black samurai once said: "Kore wa shamborokku jōkyōdesu"
Yeah hard R is a thing everywhere. I still be amazes that how much video GAME can trigger a grow man. Historical part is mostly time and place as all this AC series has been. And there is Japanese ninja but she is woman ... Not A gamer but I still waiting this one coming out. I probably going to play with her more if it's possiblity and you could choose the player every task. Because you be playing as assassin's . Samurai is similar as Valhalla was so that just repeat that one.
This is what these SJW’s do to entertainment they get hired and start changing things to there will, facts be damned to them. ONLY there point of view. Awesome video man

Racism is definitely a worldwide thing. I was in Indonesia with my Indonesian fiancée I'm a 180cm White man walking around one of the poorer streets in the capital city and some random old man tries to throw a stone at my head just because I look different to everyone else, but as a whole Indonesian natives were wonderful and very friendly to me. When I come home to the UK a completely different less friendly atmosphere. I'd much rather being permanently over there in Asia.

i just ordered the collectors edition of assassin's creed shadows and I'm in assassin creed shadows discord that has over 200k people and we stand by the game. This game will not get cancelled or fail. If people don't want to buy it that's fine, but we still support it. :)
00:00 yes it is the time for it
Also ac hasn’t been good, but it wasn’t only the first 2 that were, black flag was and still is an amazing game
once i heard the hip hop soundtrack in the backround for yasuke while he's fighting and the nail in the coffin was stealing Zoro's sword, i'm a massive one piece fan and that kinda felt insulting def not buying this game
I like the idea of playing as yasuke and don’t care if it’s historically accurate or not, I don’t need to play as another Japanese samurai I’ve got ghost of Tsushima and there are other games, if only Ubisoft just advertised it as fantasy like their other games and what’s with the hip hop in the trailer, I’m half black and mostly listen to metal ffs, I hate this hip hop being stuck on black characters trope

That "I'm gonna buy 2 copies- buy 10 copies! I don't really care" took me out.
But yeah, people wanna give their 2 cents when nobody really cares. The whole Yasuke situation definitely is an interesting one to spectate, because this all wouldn't have happened if they didn't use Yasuke in particular. They could've always gone with someone else who is black. Sure, people would've been on the political debate again, but it wouldn't have been this outrageous? If that's the right word to use
Need some tekken gameplay 😭
Soon haha.
Thank you for your video.
You said what I actually want to say but can't because that's how the race game works in America -- You have to that ethnicity to talk negative about it, or whatever you say is not only irrelevant but racist hate speech.
Black protag? Cool.
Black samurai protag? Cool.
Black samurai protag in historical fiction based on Japan? Cool.
Black samurai protag named Yasuke in historical fiction based on Japan (that respects history)? Cool.
Black samurai protag named Yasuke, based on a true person but actually using one random non-historian White guy's fantasy, included because of his skin color and made homosexual for DEI reasons, in historical fiction that is appallingly inaccurate and now totally fiction by backtracking, by a studio that touted this is how players will learn and involve themselves in accurate Japanese history, on a botched representation of Japan that is blatantly incorrect because they used AI and Wikipedia as their material? Totally not cool.
Believe it or not, just changing Yasuke to be Japanese solves almost nothing of this game's issues. Yasuke, if anything, is a victim.
I really wish people understood that. Being fine with this means that so long as a dark-skinned character appears in a game, that's all they need, not what that character represents.
On an another note, Nagoriyuki is the character you're talking about, from a popular Japanese fighting game series "Guilty Gear."
Guilty Gear's creator, Ishiwatari Daisuke, is famous for creating his characters solely around what he thinks is cool (and making them over the top).
His inspiration for Nagoriyuki came most likely from "Afro Samurai", which Lockley, the liar who falsified nearly everything on Yasuke, edited in his book as reference, when "Afro Samurai" is NOT inspired from Yasuke. Afro Samurai was born from the creator putting together things he thought were cool.
Speaking of the use of Hip Hop...
UBI stereotyped that this is what Black players want with their Black character. How that flies under the radar baffles me.
If they really wanted to do this and be cool, they would have taken more inspiration from "Samurai Champloo."
But we can't have cool video games anymore, it's all about pushing Sweet Baby's agenda that caters to like a small fraction of the actual consumer base.
The funniest thing is that in certain parts of the One Piece community, Zoro is known as the "minority hunter" because many of the opponents he fights have dark skin.
So imagine how the "minority hunter" would feel about a black man stealing his sword.
😂😂😂😂
You should react to Metatrons new video on the topic. He's talked to Thomas Lockley's through emails frequently and about this situation.
Apparently, Lockly made it public that he had a Wiki and was the one editing it long ago, and he now hates Ubisoft because of the hate he's getting.
I've never understood this demonizing of SBI or DEI cause they mainly consult or give suggestions they don't have a heavy hand on the finale product, and SBI has worked on multiple big successful games.
I can't wait to play said game.... day One
3:09 Assassins' creed is fictional history it was never historically accurate. It seems odd for them to claim that when there is a disclaimer in quite literally every game.. It's literally never been that historically accurate outside of the setting (which they fucked up bigtime somehow). It's supposed to be inspired by history. This is only getting the amount of buzz because black samurai = dei in some people's minds + the very real critique of that Lockley dude and his fake Yasuke story. Assassins' creed is sci-fi historical fiction and always has been. Do I need to list all the historical inaccuracies (real historical figures doing things they very much never did) from the previous games?
Like even going back to everyone's favorite AC2, The Borgia family weren't some obviously evil or villainous family. Ubisoft took inspiration from unconfirmed rumors from opposing nobles and ran with as a "what if this was true?". In AC3 Paul Revere, who is unquestioningly an American hero, is disgraced as a loser who was too cowardly to warn the Continental Army that the British were on their way and shirks the responsibility to the MC Conner. Tyrant George Washington, Tank inventor Leonardo Da Vinci you can literally go on and on. Please spare me the yapping from people who are mad enough the cry all day on social media but aren't mad enough to check the facts about the game series.
Anyone can be mad/offended for any reason. If it's not valid critique then it should be ignored. I didn't understand that point in the video. If the people don't understand that it's fictional and they are mad because they think "the stories are supposed to be historically accurate" why should anyone take the critique seriously if it has no factual basis?
Lastly, the REAL history of our world is canonically "templar history" in the games. The templars are winning in the present and that's why we have our history. They tried to make that very obvious in AC2,AC3 and AC4. This whole controversy is overblown af imo.
@@Kekkai_ Extremely overblown. Just a bunch of people exposing their rascism, and others doing and saying anything for clicks.
An individual called Benoit that is overseeing this game said that this AC was going to be historically accurate. That's why they issued an apology which is what I covered in my previous video. It would help to get all the facts before falling on the racist card all the time. I'm guessing you didn't watch the video because I address Yasuke in media historically and in my previous video I also showed the screen shots and apologies from from Ubisoft to Japan.
Instead of pointing at people and saying racist or click bait, try to listen and engage with the conversation properly.
@@RealMikeHollow I was engaging in the conversation properly. I also watched your previous video.
The question in the interview from your last video was in regards to the setting. He answered in regards to the setting and the world. He also states that a lot of the events actually happened and that has also been the case in every game beforehand. So I don't see how that disputes anything I've said.
I know, obviously, you can't read every comment but I do want to mention that I did comment something similar to the above when you made your last video. Edit: Actually nvm I guess I forgot to hit submit or something.
There are real criticism of the game. The setting and cultural inaccuracies that have been critiqued before. I'm trying to be very specific and disputing claims of historical accuracies and the "outrage" related to assassins'' creed as a series.
@@Kekkai_ The real problem people have with this game is they had promoted this game as historically accurate game and most people won't have any problem if they just say this game was a fiction inspire by Yasuke and i know their are some people who are racist but that doesn't mean you can ignore this game criticism by saying people are racist.
@@RealMikeHollow ah, see, you find some in this video already.
It’s a little ridiculous imo how many Japanese anime portray historical Japanese figures in a false context? How many iterations of oda nobunaga have we seen, some of them are even female. There’s example of hanzo hattori, examples of so many Japanese historical figures that have been changed. So how is this any different? Jjk ryomen Sukuna is a real person, nothing like the guy in jjk….. so what is the difference?
The difference has been hammered over and over . The difference between all those crazy anime and fiction , especially the Netflix Yasuke anime since its on topic .... is that none of them claimed to be historically accurate . And none of them had their publishers , directors and staff gaslight people and insist on their fanfiction being real , and pretty much calling out anyone challenging those claims . Ubisoft did exactly that on multiple occasions
@@ZarathosDaimaoh no one should think that the ac games are 100% historically accurate even if that’s what they say. First of all nothing can ever be 100% accurate so how do you know what you’re preserving isn’t false history in the first place. Everyone knows that history is written by the winners and I’m sure if we were able to hear all the stories and events that happened from all of the losers in history then we would have a completely different understanding of every culture and country.
@@ZarathosDaimaoh Second saying something is historically accurate doesn’t mean the entire work, you can make a historically accurate depiction in a scale, and we all know marketing and advertising for games always exaggerates and say hyperbolic things to hype it up. At the end of the day the game is a fictional game if there are inaccuracies it shouldn’t matter because nobody is going to play ac to learn about the history of Japan. Nobody is buying it to get a history lesson.
@@mnonodzilala8508いくらあなたがそう思ったとしても実際にACSの制作者がインタビューで「史実に忠実に作りました。弥助は実在する黒人侍です。」って言ってしまってるし、ACSが炎上したことで弥助を侍だと信じて疑わない外国の方もいる。
ゲームの説明にも「実在した黒人侍の弥助」と書かれてるし、間違った歴史を史実として拡める行為は大問題です。
歴史というものは過去のことだから、あなたが言うように100%正しいなんてことはないでしょう。
だからこそ他国の歴史を扱うときは慎重にならないといけないし、しっかりと調べてリスペクトをしなければいけないのです。
あなたは論点が少しズレてるようですが、UBIが今作を「史実に忠実なゲーム」として声明を出したことが問題なのです。
実際に史実に忠実な内容だったら問題無いし、それか最初から「フィクションです」と言ってれば問題無かった。
しかしUBIは四季すらも把握してないくせに史実だと言い張り、その間違った歴史を史実として世界に売り出そうとしてるから問題なのです。
歴史問題だけではなく背旗を無断使用したり、ONE PIECEのゾロの刀を勝手に使ったり著作物を無断使用してる点もかなり大量にあるので、そういう行為は普通に考えて最低だと思います。
アニメやマンガやゲームが好きな人からすれば「他の作品からデザインを盗む」という行為は失礼極まりない行為です。
そういった行為も含めてあなたが「これくらい普通でしょ」と思ってるんだとしたら、きっとあなたの中にはルールやマナーといった物が無いんでしょう。

All history been change by someone, why take anything serious🤷🏿♂ Well, what a clown world we live in😁
I honestly think people are taking this whole thing out of proportion. Ubisoft is just doing the same thing they always have. There's just a racial aspect to it, so everyone starts taking sides. As for the other stuff, so many games do inaccurate stuff all the time. ALL the time. Because they're games, not documentaries. People are just finding any reason to be mad at a game. The ironic thing about it is that Ubisoft is gonna make even more money off this game then they normally would.
If you make a historical game shouldn't you atleast get it right? Confusing Japanese and Chinese architecture, using architecture from a completely different time period and mixing different seasons all into 1 is just a bit dumb no?
@@chubz6211 This is what happens in EVERY AC game. The game has never been historically accurate. It's not an educational game. It's entertainment. The ONLY reason there's any hubub about this game is because they put Yasuke in the game. But it is in no way meant to be educational so there's no reason for them to hold to any kind of accuracy. It's no different than Activision advertising that COD will be better next year even though it's the same. It's just how Entertainment works.
@@zaofactor so why did they advertise it as being historically accurate?
@@chubz6211 Because that's advertising bullshit that EVERYONE does. People only hate on THIS game because of the racial aspect.
@@chubz6211 Tell me you haven't played an AC game all the way through without saying it. They do this with EVERY GAME.
This Yasuke drama is too much why are they so triggered ???
After 2 videos on it from this channel and countless others on RUclips, you still don't know why people are upset? 🧐
@@RealMikeHollow Actually it all makes sense the unverified infomation about Yasuke and lack of proper cultural uses of Japan
Yooooo
This fake outcry is just Anti Black Racism.
No tears for the Last Samurai
There’s nothing to back the Samurai or anything to go against it
It’s just racists filling in the blanks
Honestly this one I can buy them being mad, this is the only one series that's claiming to be historically accurate. They had no issues with the yusuke anime, or him being in samurai warriors. If it was truly anti black racism those would've been attacked by japan, but they weren't.
@@Raytheman581
Ok so if they delete the historical accurate claim you’ll shut up?
I addressed this in the video. I know you haven't seen it yet because I've only just put it up. Please allow the clip to play out so that you can craft an argument worth replying to, sir.
@@RealMikeHollow
Your beef is the historically accurate claim right?
So if they hit backspace on that claim you’ll pipe down right? You personally
Last question: do you think backspace will silence the racists?
WOMP WOMP
Tekken 8 is trash
I don't understand why Ubisoft was taking wrong step one after another, even still
you are explaining situation easy and nice way, good job
This creator's channel explain what bunch of Japanese people upset about
ruclips.net/video/8SPJOjMikUo/видео.htmlsi=ydNvpgpDRibRkBOU
bit sharp but most closely representing what Japanese people complain about, as far as I found from pile of YT video
what is your opinion about this guys? definitory not stupid skin colour issue talking about.
