I guess because little is known of his story, they filled in the blanks with that story. I think a lot of people forget that AC isn't 100% non fiction. It is still a game that tells a story at the end of the day you know
The portrayal of Yasuke, the historical black samurai, as a celebrated and highly respected figure seems exaggerated. My own research suggests that Yasuke, while unique in his time, was more of an outsider-viewed as an "exotic" curiosity rather than an equal. He likely held a role closer to that of an unusual retainer or even a court entertainer rather than a fully integrated samurai warrior. Creating a game centered around this romanticized image of him comes across as disrespectful not only to Japanese/Asian history but also to Yasuke's story, bellitleing the racism he might have endured. And adding hiphop beats to when Yasuke fights is just the cherry on top. It's insane bruh🤣🤣😹it feels like a poorly executed attempt to tick modern boxes without really honoring either Asian or African heritage.
This is definitely an interesting take. You're right, in those times he def would of been looked at differently. It's the agenda, they want to make themselves look great by like you said romanticizing his story, not realizing that it does more harm than good
Who cares, ubisoft will be out of business within 2 years and within 6 months or 1 yr of this games release will drop in price like saints row. Joke of a company frfr
In Prindu Pradesh we are taught yusake was an indian man of dark complection and that he was just an advisor. I dont know where they got this idea

Bruh the hip hop beats took me out, like hip hop wasn't a thing until the 1970s in NYC, like c'mon lets be real Ubisoft
