Fck there were that many AC games?!
Exactly, it's stupid. If he was DLC that would've been pretty cool but just seems kinda racist and pandering. Why not just make an African setting is my question? Like imagine playing as like a member of Shaka Zulu's tribe or something badass.
>next game set in Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution, play as transgender Latinx in a wheelchair
As a Japanese person, I’ve waited for AC to adapt a Japanese story, so I can play an epic story of a SAMURAI in Japan.
Now in current year, we don’t get a samurai but a forced diversity character that’s not a samurai, OR Japanese.
For context; the real historical Yasuke met Nobunaga for a year, then was sold back to the Jesuits and never obtained a rank as a samurai.
You need more likes. I feel your pain my brother.
Yep, same. This is a big fucking slap to the face. So tired of this shit.
There's so many games where you can play as a samurai in feudal Japan lmaooo
What about the girl is she more accurate?
As a Japanese person also, I just lol when I see this. Of all the notable historical people, samurai, shinobi, warlords, etc they pick the one black guy. Because of course they would lmao
Miyamoto Musashi or Hatori Hanzo would have been faaaaar better choices, both figures are surrounded by myth and actually fit the bill for legendary assassin duelist types. Fuck off ubisoft.
yeah it sucks, Musashi was not even born in Yasuke's time period. I was hoping for a cameo atleast.
What about Sasuke Sarutobi tho
Muzashi was also known to ambush people and fight dirty and unusual. Perfect for an Assassin Samurai hybrid similar to the Spartan Assassin of Odyssey, or Egyptian warrior assassin of Origin etc.
True. Also Yasuke fought one battle and surrendered.
@@Nez949 so set it in Musashi's time? Id have to look through some of the history of when he was alive but it would've made for a way better setting
I myself find this game very insulting, because in the game Assassin's Creed: Shadows there wasn't a single instance of Shadow the Hedgehog.
my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
My girlfriend is Japanese. I talked to her about this game today and asked how she felt about it. She said she was not angry, but thought it was disrespectful to Japanese people. She also said it's become a well-known American thing to take a main character and turn it into a different race for no reason.
There was a real black samurai in Japan
Hmmm I'm curious. Ask her how she felt when the Japanese put that same black man as a samurai in two of their games as a boss fight. Nioh 1 & 2.
@@cameronleventis7 Where and when? They where ultra racist to blacks back those days.
Yall cry too much.
I seen a few Asian people on Instagram and Facebook said how they get sideline in their own game and that its disrespectful. 1 guy on Facebook said he knows yasuke was a real person. But he was a retainer and not samurai and that Ubisoft only picked him as the main character for oblivious reasons. He even got mad they put white people in that new shogun show. But all of these got the same type of replies.... And that's them being called racist
You know what’s a good trait for an assassin? Being the most identifiable person in the whole country - some Ubisoft dev
"Anything special you noticed about the murderer?"
"He was black"
"That's it boys, we got him"
With a little boy or female hahahaha
That is the most ridiculous part. The scene where he is just chilling and no one notices him, yeah very likely in 16th century Japan.
MIIILES !! THE BLACK ONE!!
Bruh, I'm sitting there watching, because I'm black, and I'm thinking, "what the hell, if this cat doesn't stick out like a sore thumb"
"Yasuke (Japanese: 弥助 / 弥介, Japanese pronunciation: [jasɯke]) was a man of African origin who served as a retainer to the Japanese daimyō Oda Nobunaga for a period of 15 months between 1581-1582, during the Sengoku period, until Nobunaga's death in the Honnō-ji Incident. Yasuke is the earliest known African to appear in Japanese historical records, though his confirmed period of stay in Japan was relatively short - about three years, from 17 August, 1579 to 21 June, 1582"
Wikipedia fake news.
Some say three months
Assassin's Creed Grove Street
Yasuke is the only black guy in japan and is now myth status because he's the only way to insert diversity.
The DEI Trojan Horse
We gotta scour the history books for the first white guy in Africa so we can get some sick Zulu warrior games where we play as a white guy.
I agree with the panthering points, but yasuke wasnt the only black guy in japan at the time.
@@DmadPs nope, he's the only one. recorded.
probably other blacks got 6 feet underground since they not japanese.
Do a little research. You're so wrong and driven by confirmation bias it's hilarious.
It's almost as if these DEI racists completely forgot that black people actually come from Africa and that Africa has it's own set of cultures, nations and history.
Not to mention hundred of indigenous Australians which date back over 60,000 years of history and culture over hundreds of different peoples and communities
They could make an AC in Africa. But I bet it'll never happen. And I know they made the Egyptian one, but everyone calls that one the Egyptian AC and not the African AC.
Exactly. Blacks were in Japan during the 16th century but since this will probably be a trending discussion, content creators will milk it for what its worth
Well, didn't you know Africans created the Japanese culture and civilization? In fact, didn't you know Africans created all the cultures and civilizations of the world except the African ones??
Nevertheless its still part of Africa. @@talkingtakotaco8611
Everybody really wanted an Assassins Creed game set in Japan for a LONG time because the AESTHETIC of the region at that time and AC as series and what it is about just fit like a glove. Everybody when thet pleaded with Ubi to make an AC set in Japan imagined playing as a covert japanese ninja who also happens to be an assassin. Or imagine if all ninja's were actually Templars and they could use the same tactics as you do for the first time in the series history. THAT is what people had in their heads when they thought "AC in Japan". Not a black samurai going around and clubbing other samurai over the head.
It's like if they inserted random black and asian people in Kingdom Come 2 that takes place in 15th century Bohemia AND made you play as one. Even if you had historical documents to prove there were some black people in the region, it's not representative of what that region was like in general and ruins the fantasy of going to that time period and immersing yourself in that world.
"THAT is what people had in their heads when they thought "AC in Japan". Not a black samurai going around and clubbing other samurai over the head"
Thankfully there is literally a japanese playable assassin for you if you don't like going around clubbing other enemies over the head like literally every single other AC game included.
you play AC hoping for historical accuracy? lol
@@mr.jayjay2401 AC was known for historical accuracy outside of the things they changed to make the story work. That's literally part of the appeal. That you get to play a game that properly repersent cool time periods in history.
As an Italian, I loved to see Ezio and the games with him in many italian cities.
I feel sad for those japanese gamers who waited for a game with a japanese character but they are given a black guy with dreadlocks wearing a samurai armor.
Damn dude, yeah it's tragic. I guess the people wanting to play a Japanese character this game will have to settle for the *checks notes* playable Japanese character.
As a fellow Italian feels like deal with it don’t care it’s a game if you let this get to you that hard deal with it and cope it’s no where close to a big deal
@@theitalian1330 sure let's have AC2 remake with black citizens everywhere in italy and a Chinese pope and an Indian guards for your immersion
You still play as an japanese woman,and if you really wanted that,PLAY GHOST OF TSUSHIMA,way better game
Anyways?
@@sheluvscj8288 is that suppose to be some kind of consolation prize ? At least there is a Japanese woman.
It's still slap in the face to have an insignificant black dude to be a main character in the feudal Japan in one of the more significant period of Japan. If you need a token black guy, he could easily been an NPC to advance to plot.
So this is the "cultural colonization" they were talking about.
Yep a lot of boats going to japan in past in 1800's and then their was christian sect or caholic but i forget which one and they were kicked out and some english bloke helped japan people make their own guns so thats how they got empowered with guns.
It’s been done to America and now they’re moving on to other cultures lol
They probably think "if everyone is black then there won't be any racisim." By this point they have already disrepect every other race by ingoring their existience.
@@a.ielimba78 This is set in the Nobunaga period tho, mid to late 1500's which was also when gunpowder was truly introduced to feudal Japan.
@@a.ielimba78Japanese kinda been making matchlock gun since sengoku period though, they bought or took it from Portuguese merchant that got ship wrecked reverse engineer and manufacturing it since. Oda Nobunaga was the one who adopted gun into his army.
Don't play Ubisoft games. Easiest problem to solve
Yeah I'm done with Ubisoft. But not because of Shadows.
I stopped touching ubisoft after AC3 they did my boy so dirty. AC2 was the last "good" game Ubisoft released since
A pirate's life for me
Yep.
Your wisdom knows no bounds.
William Adams (Miura Anjin) was an English navigator who sailed with a Dutch trading fleet to the far East and landed in Japan in 1600. He became a vassal under the Shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, was bestowed with a title, lands and swords, and became the first SAMURAI from England......a white Englishman
I never cared about what race a character is in games until the past 5 years. I only started caring the the past 5 years because of the reason they do it, it seems like I'm being preached to or having DEI rammed down my throat.
The point he said "if the game is good you will still play it" - No I won't, if it is woke I won't go near it, there are too many other great ways I can spend my time so I don't need to put up with that.

its funny how black, sexuality and woman are the seal of approval for games in twitter nowadays, like bruh.
What pisses me off about the AC franchise and those behind it, is that they "believe" it has happened in real life and that the rest of us are idiots and bigots because we know what is really going on.
Ubisoft found the single black man to ever live in Medieval Japan and they immediately made him a serial killer. Nice. Tipical Ubisoft.
he was a samurai to be fair, but they should’ve made a japanese main character

Ubisoft: let's ignore literally dozens of historical Japanese male warriors and make a game about 1 guy who wasn't even a samurai and lost his first battle then was captured and shipped off..and throw a chick in there and make her gay. Easy DEI money 👍
Edit
Lol! Japanese people are pissed with a lot saying they finally understand what cultural appropriation is 😂. This guy isn't even popular in Japan. He's only widely praised outside of Japan. Japanese players are not happy
Congratulations you could be an Executive in today's Gaming Industry.
where do they say she is gay? Lol

@@simonsei1262 Ah Lmao hahaha okay thanks
Female assassins are documented in the 17th century Bansansukai, which fits this time period. They were assassins and infiltrators. They are also mentioned in 2024s SHOGUN series on Disney/Hulu (great show by the way) which strived to be historically accurate.
That show isnt accurate... Hollywood doesnt do historical accuracy.
In the game you have the Option to Play a Female Japanese Samaurai.
So atleast there's a Shred of Reality.
@@OGTheDemon then read about the female assassins yourself and don’t take the shows word for it
@@nolenoribello7318 Geisha's were known to be used sometimes in assassination. And there were a few female shinobi's of note I think. But they werent "warriors". They were spies essentially. It was rare to be a fighter.Alot of people hear ninja and think assassin, and thats just not correct. Also the sengoku jidai was a 16th century thing not a 17th century thing. But doesnt change the earlier point that shogun isnt accurate lol.
none of this would be an issue if the idiots at ubisoft just created character customization lmfao
Game set in Japan > Oh wow, a Japanese MC?!?!
Ubisoft: No. We picked the one black guy we could find, ignoring 99.9% of the population, and we also made him a Samurai even though he never was.
the fact that people care about it that much is insane ngl
@@ValentinNeacsu99 If people didn't care about it they wouldn't have made the MC black ngl, why do you care so much?

Or OJ Simpson if Nicole was a Japanese girl 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
gem alert
Says the salty mayo boy😂
Japan has one of the most prominent histories on the planet that involved individuals/ whole clans trained in stealth, sabotage, assassination, and subterfuge. And for the first iteration of a game in this setting, we cast aside most of that potential for the sake of subverting audience expectations?
I have no idea what Ubisoft is trying at this point, or is the outrage they're farming just a marketing ploy?
At this point, players who want their fill of AC in Japan, just indugle in the many titles that beat Ubisoft to the punch.
Ghosts of Tshushima,Sekiro, Nioh, etc
That's kind of the point though. The game is going to be played mostly by Assassins Creed fans. They need a selling point to set it out from the games you listed, because they don't have as good gameplay. So it seems like they are going with the uniqueness of a story around Yasuke as an MC. This way people who are like "hmm, I've always thought Yasuke was kinda cool, it's interesting that I can play him in this game, maybe I'll give it a go"
"Who should we get to be our master assassin?"
"Oh, the only black dude in Japan. You know, so he literally can't blend into crowds and sticks out like a sore thumb everywhere he goes."
Seriously, are they going to get rid of that mechanic or what lol?
Whos a foot taller than everyone.
Yeah, if it weren't an Assassins Creed it would be a more believable scenario. As in "what if there was a black dude and they actually gave him a chance to prove himself".
I mean if you look at the way the story is going to be played, if you choose to play as him you are not playing for stealth, his kit and abilities are directed towards just fighting not assassination. They say this very clearly in their trailer breakdown.
Yasuke was in a powerful position during the times of him being with Oda Nobunaga, so i'm sure people wouldn't really bat an eye if there were to see him.
@@sean4796 Looks like you have 100% the game already. No need to buy it twice
Just remember the "Woman King" movie. Full blown slavers suddenly Hollywood shows them like some kind of honorable warriors

The u is almost silent, simply carrying the s from one stressed syllable to the other.
It is essentially reduced to something similar to the English shwa, or what every vowel not part of a stressed syllable is reduced to in English.
As an example, it can be pronounced similar to the si in possessive.
If nothing else, like so many Japanese names pronounced properly, it sounds pretty freaking cool.

Yasuke was a Portuguese slave and got bought because the Japanese master thought he was neat, pretty much became his sword golf caddie and would show him off to his guests and when the master died Yasuke got shipped right back to Portugal. He had no part in any Japanese culture or shaping any history.
Why would it matter if he had a role in shaping any history. 😂 and secondly he fought durring the honno ji incident to protect oda nobunaga, you cornball.
Portuguese slave? What the hell are you talking about?
Yasuke was an African salve and he was never in Portugal.
Yasuke was property of an Italian Jesuit and was shipped Goa, India.
Had nothing to do with Portugal.
@@Visigothicwarrior By Portuguese slave I think he meant a slave to the Portuguese, however, you are correct he was bought by the Italian Alessandro Valignano who travelled to Japan with Portuguese Jesuits to oversee the spreading the Christian religion accompanied by Yasuke who he was using as a bodyguard.
since when have any of the main ac characters been real people who shaped history?
@@edgarbean1233no he didn't
I hope Assassin's Creed Africa has an Asian male as the main character. That would be fair.
Yeah a modern colonizer that is after African resources, dont matter the cost. Using their poverty and hunger to accomplish exploitative agreements. Would be fun since this is the only way asians were present in African history.
You know Yasuke isn't *the* main character, right? He's one of two, the first one introduced being Japanese.
And if they made yet another game that takes place in Africa, with two main characters, one being black and one being asian, would that be bad?
@@halosaft Yes.
@@halosaftYea because it's dumb.
@@halosaft Yes.
And stop trying to diminish what is being done here. It's sickening.
This is BLATANT Cultural Appropriation and BLATANT "Black washing".
Ubisoft: "We need a black protagonist for this japanese inspired game."
"Shouldnt they be japanese to fit the setting? Or maybe we could set a game in South Africa around the time of Shaka-Zulu"
"Nah, there was a black guy in Japan once, lets do that."
To be fair tho nobody really gives a fuck what gender or colour the character is aslong as the gameplay is good and ppl that care about it r just weird tbh its their game they make it however they want who cares if its a blue guy or a white guy ac never rlly had historically accurate characters anyways apart from side characters bro
Not only that but they choose someone whose name literally means "Across Help" or to say foreign servant 弥助. He was only in Japan for about 15 months or less, was initially liked by Nobunaga for the color of his skin, thought it was a tattoo and forced him to scrub his skin to see if it would rub off. When Nobunaga died, he was called a slave and an animal and sent back to the Jessuits. Obviously they're going to go the route that maybe Yasuke is on the run after Nobunaga's death in this game, and maybe that's how we end up using him to avenge his daimyo but I mean.... Wasn't Nobunaga seen as a tyrant? Unless they make Yasuke switch sides during the rebellion but then who the hell is he fighting if Nobunaga lost.
Why not? It's just fiction.
Doing this to about a country that suffered two atomic bombs is disrespectful and out of touch
@@klord-is9ftfirst they had the bombs, now they have the blacks 😂😂

literally 99% of all games ever made or will be made
The problem doesn't come from the fact that the main character is black, it's the fact that they're using him to get woke points because this is Ubisoft.
They could’ve not been lazy and made a Japanese game with Japanese and maybe an African/ Americas based game with Black main. Why they do it this way is just lazy writing and research imo😅
Exactly if DEI didn't exist and there wasn't a constant push for this type of stuff then i would even care about this character. But it's the culture surrounding this, that I know this was just for brownie points and pandering.

Can someone tell me the deference between a Samurai and a retainer? I keep looking it up and I keep getting the same definition that a Retainer is a Samurai. So im confused, is it a hierarchy thing like how the Jedi in starwars works or is it like a "You're apart of this Samurai clan so you technically a Samurai but not really" kinda thing?
Reminder that Sweet Baby Inc was most likely involved with this.
Imagine having assassins creed as a series, you finally have it be set in Japan with the rich history and lore of ninjas, with historical figures like Hattori Hanzo, its like they have the baseball ball on the stand or whatever and all they need to do is swing, but instead they decide, "Nah I'm going to have a female ninja and black samurai."
historical ninja/samurai well represented in japanese media? naaah lets pick some pet slave of oda. At this point i feel like they just hate making money
@@lootmaster1337 ow they love money from that ESG shit xD
Tbh the female Shinobe was already rumored since 2021 and it being assassins creed and them being fictional was not surprising. But they using for the first time a historical character in there game and them choosing someone from colour while there are many more legendary samurais they could have chosen for example Musashi Miyamoto.
Automated investments follow ESG scores. Blame that
I might be wrong but i think that the ninjas back then had males and females. It wasnt just fighting it was alot of spionage
in historical fact, Oda Nobunaga hated assassination, he only used force, guns and negotiations.
he openly said "assassination is cowardice." meny times on records.
Correction- ALL samurais, who followed Bushido hated it cause this behaviour would dirty their pride and would be loathed by their ancestors after death - similar logic to Valhalla in north.
All samurai hated that because as a Samurai you need to fight with honor even if you know 100% that it will be your death and if you dont and come back, there is only one way out and that is seppuku.
*Many ffs.
This is just objectively wrong. Samurai and any major Japanese figure form the time actively participated in assignations, wether through actually doing it or ordering someone else too. This include Oda, how do you think he conquered so much of Japan? He was a tactical genius and used methods like assassination to pressure his enemies.
@@wisteriaotaku No questions about hiring ninjas or others to kill someone - the question about doing that themselves - the poisonings was considered shamefull act from the perspective of truefull bushido followers.
And Oda could have other officials who would do it instead of him, even without his knowledge.

The game subscription services are really only worth it if you normally would buy at least 4+ of their games AT LAUNCH. So if a studio isn't releasing 4+ games a year (that you want to play), then you're better off just buying individual games.
Ghost of tsunama did it better already years ago and didn’t need to get their dei score up
It did had some weird side mission you trail some wife’s husband and found out that he was cheating on her with some dude. Quest felt very tied in last moment to appease ESG.
Ghost of Tsushima comes out on PC tomorrow, BTW.
Ghost of Tsushima felt like a love letter to Japanese history and culture even if it wasn’t 100% accurate. This just feels like another desperate attempt by Ubisoft to win back what little fans they still have left.
people being covertly gay during that time period is perfectly accurate to reality
@@senatorarmstrong4662 Tell you the truth though Japan themselves dont make anything historically accurate and very off the wall. But they dont race swap. Other than that check out any storyline of their so called history in movies, anime, manga. Most if not all is totally wacky off the wall shit.

They won't make it. Because the main draw of an AC game is exploring an ancient and remarkable civilization full of architecture, innovation, mythology, and interesting people. Would AC developers want to make game that's set in Africa? They won't because they are real racist and not the one who's bashing the game for having a black samurai.
Ironically those will be exclusively black africans and they'll call it "diverse"
i'm vietnamese, i would play that, we are deadly in the jungle xD
@@sfguzmani They also can't make it in Africa because there is no "remarkable civilization full of architecture, innovation, mythology, and interesting people".
Here Asmon is wrong, hand to hand, man always win, but weapon to weapon, there is no distinction that's why HEMA and other martial arts that uses melee weapons have mix competition. The maths don't lie, the force that you use depends on movement, not force.
Do you mean physics? The formula for force is 𝐹=𝑚⋅𝑎 (force = mass * acceleration), and when it comes to kinetic energy, which is relevant in the impact of a strike, the formula is 𝐸𝑘=12𝑚⋅𝑣2 (kinetic energy = 1/2 mass * velocity squared). More mass or higher velocity results in more energy and potentially more force on impact.
@@paulnash3589 Yeah... and swords have similar mass... I suppose you are saying I'm right, right? Considering we know that the acceleration in a sword point is related to the distribution of the weapon's gravitational center and the motion curve you do when you are to swing it... you understand that the initial force doesn't have to be that equal to have the same amount of force distribution, right? The more lethal the weapon is, the difference in the initial force can be bigger...

Assassin's Creed has always been historical fiction so I don't really get pissy about accuracy.
Why I feel disappointed and think they should have went for the Japanese guy is because now Assassin's Creed has a token black guy as a main character (I mean that is what racist media companies do) and we won't probably see another one ever which means we'll never see African, more specifically Sub-Saharan history done. Apart from few stories about the Imperial Age and the abuses the colonizers dealt to the locals we never hear EVER about any other part of history from the region and because of that they could legit bring something NEW and FRESH to the mainstream audience. What you may have heard about is Ethiopia being the land of absolute chads who fought off tons of invasions and were a power to be reckoned with. Even that would be a cool period even though it is not an unknown part of history in mainstream media.
Also one thing where they messed up hard: Japan is the opposite of woke, they are still quite a bit xenophobic (with good reason) and they care for their history dearly too, even when they do historical fiction they do pay attention to detail so I wonder what the Japanese say about this game.

With the pricing for how they want you to buy the monthly subscription for 18 dollars. Also keep in mind, that it contains the UPCOMING DLCs, thus meaning that you are not getting on those in 1st day. You need to have that subscription on for like that 4-6months that they spend to release those DLCs. The DLCs can be possibly even made already, but they do not want to release them at the same time, since they want you to stay subscribed for those, and after those months, they have a new game release coming in next month that you are going to wait to be released since its coming soon. Also there are tooooons of people who join these subscriptions, have them auto reneweled, and forget to turn them of, spending 200usd for the monthly plan for a year, even if they only played 1-2 games there.
I get people being against wokeism and shit but if you watch their video explaining the characters. They really just wanted to make a cool historical fantasy of important/cool historical figures of the era. It's a video game, and they were trying to have a fun spin This shit.
Correct me if im wrong, but this is also the first time they use a historical figure as a main playable character. As far as I know, all the previous AC game's protagonists were original characters, and the historical figures were NPCs you would run into throughout the game. It makes it even more obvious that they are doing this for brownie points.
Just looked it up and you’re right. He’s the first historical figure used as a main playable character.
@InfamyJunkie they really gave the male japanese population the middle finger.
@InfamyJunkie yup he should've been a supporting character that also is badass like napoleon from ac unity
His historical evidence is not very well known. Might as well not exist honestly. While he may not have been a Samurai according to many, the japanese wikipedia states he is. Even so, he is a killer for hire and probably picked up the armor somewhere. Not like it matters it's a fuckin fantasy game
@@bedinor You trust wikipedia? look at the edits, japanese historians themselves have said he wasn't a samurai, there are zero historical texts calling him one, the letters the mention him which is where every account of his existence come from, letters, refer to him as a servant or slave. Japanese attractions have labled him as a samurai to attract foreignors and get their money, nothing more
Here are the facts: Yasuke arrived in Japan in 1579 in service of the Italian Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano. He accompanied Valignano when the latter came to the Kyoto area in March 1581 and his appearance caused a lot of interest with the local people.
When Yasuke was presented to Oda Nobunaga, the Japanese Daimyō thought that his skin must have been coloured with black ink. Nobunaga had him strip from the waist up and made him scrub his skin. These events are recorded in a 1581 letter of the Jesuit Luís Fróis to Lourenço Mexia, and in the 1582 Annual Report of the Jesuit Mission in Japan, also by Fróis.
"When Nobunaga realized that the African's skin was indeed black, he took an interest in him."
According to a Japanese accounting of Yaskue states: On the 23rd of the 2nd month 1581, a black page came from the Christian countries. The man was healthy with a good demeanour and Nobunaga praised Yasuke's strength.
Some say that Yasuke could speak or was taught Japanese, and it is stated Nobunaga enjoyed talking with him. However, it is more likely that a Jesuit missionary translated for them, in order to control the dialogue as they were not ones to miss an opportunity to interact with Nobunaga in order to advance their mission.
Reportedly, Nobunaga's nephew gave him a sum of money at this first meeting, for his travels, and on 14 May, Yasuke departed for Echizen Province with Fróis and the other Christians.
During this trip, they met local warlords such as Shibata Katsutoyo, Hashiba Hidekatsu, and Shibata Katsuie, They returned to Kyoto on 30 May.
At some point, although when is not exactly clear, Yasuke entered Nobunaga's service.
Yasuke was also mentioned in the prototype of Shinchō ki owned by Sonkeikaku Bunko , the archives of the Maeda clan.
According to this, Yasuke was given his own residence and a short, ceremonial katana by Nobunaga. Nobunaga also assigned him the duty of weapon bearer (much to the annoyance of actual samurai)
Here is where the facts change to a more fantasised version of events: Nobunaga had a propensity for the unique, and he was particularly interested in all things foreign. Clearly he was fascinated by Yasuke, and this was documented to be to the chagrin of many of his top generals such as Akechi Mitsuhide, who is reported to have been disgusted by the site of Yasuke, and saw him as nothing more than a wild beast.
After the Battle of Tenmokuzan, Nobunaga led his force, including Yasuke, and inspected the former territory of the Takeda clan. So people make the assumption that Yasuke actually fought in this battle, and that he donned Samurai armour and fought as a samurai hero.
A sword bearer (Yasuke) stays behind with the general camp, near to the lord, they don't go out on the battlefield, and there is no record of Yasuke fighting any battle.
There is also no record of Yasuke receiving martial arts training, or use of the Japanese sword, either when in the service of Nobunaga or the years prior.
The truth is that his time with Nobunaga was limited, as they first met in 1581 and Oda Nobunaga was dead a year later. This is hardly enough time for Yasuke to be trained to be the great warrior.
Yasuke as a Samurai: Now for either commercial purpose, or some social equity rationale, some people attempt to equate Yasuke as a non Japanese Samurai in the same way the English sailor William Adams (Pilot) was later viewed.
However, Adams was actually presented Samurai status, and there is no record of Yasuke being bestowed similar Samurai status. The facts are that Oda Nobunaga made him a servant for a few months.
A few months... not a lifetime of service dedicated to serving his lord, ready to give his life in the service of the Oda.
Another fact that is clear; Yasuke was kept around as a talking piece, an oddity for Nobunaga to show off, much in the same way he enjoyed irking other Daimyo by showing them Azai Nagamasa's gold plated skull.
Despite modern versions of Yasuke, if he was this great Samurai some would have you believe, then it stands to reason that he would have either fought to the death at Honnoji but instead was alleged to have been taken by Mitsuhide troops soon after the Honnoji incident, but Akechi had his men return him to the Christian missionaries.
All that is known about the fate of Yaskue , is that he was seen with the Christian Missionaries after Nobunagas death and reportedly fled the country soon after.
So while people may attempt to change the story of Yasuke to suit their agenda, the truth is that such blatantly false attempts to rewrite history are pure revisionism and nothing more.
Faking history because it makes you "feel good" does nothing but a disservice to all students of the culture, the Japanese nation and the historical record.
In fiction i believe it is 100% fine to take these liberties but the amount of people who believe these stories as fact is shocking

What about Sakanouye Tamaramaru .... just because this guy says it's Yasuke doesn't mean it's actually Yasuke

Think the main argument about the last samurai, is that in a movie you need a well know actor to get people to go, and Tom Cruise was that. No Japanese actors would get people going to the cinema in America, but with a game you don’t need one
People who bring up The Last Samurai and Tom Cruise clearly misunderstood the point of the movie. Tom Cruise's character is not the last samurai. Ken Watanabe's chracter is.
It's extremally different story altogether too. Guy was literally officer/mercenary for hire to kill/force to surrender native japanese.
Exactly ,Tom cruise character was just fortunate to have the honor to meet katsumoto that was the last samurai as you said.
Also that story focuses on the clash between western culture embarking onto the formerly isolated feudal Japan. That culture clash IS the focus. Meanwhile Yasuke is a black dude that stayed in Japan for a couple of months and had literally zero impact on Japanese culture -yet modern culture activists love circlekerking his presence because he sticks out like a nail their eyes -and low and behold, they all carry hammers.
that's actually not true. "Samurai" in The Last Samurai is plural. it was the last group of Samurai

Welcome to 2024.
The first non-Japanese samurai was Korean. The second was William Adams. Yasuke was, at most, a retainer and at best a spectacle for Nobunaga. Nobunaga never wrote about him, not once, not even a poem, and Nobunaga wrote poems about EVERYTHING that happened in his life. Being that the AC games at least tried to stick to historical fact, Ubisoft making Yasuke a samurai is a joke and Wikipedia editors desperately attempting to retcon that fact to adhere to Ubisoft's vision is a travesty.
Japan is next front in the culture/DEI war- the conspiracy folks have known it for a while, us normies are just getting exposed to it.
Everyone seems to be missing the point: they are using a 'black' man to insert THEIR opinion on Japanese culture- this is not a historically-accurate version of Yasuke, this is 21st century samboism: what white people think a historical black man thought/acted/behaved like.
wiki says he was a retainer for 3 years, top commentor says hes a japanese fellow and says it was only one. not that bad ion terms of falsities lol
@@DendoSupreme Wikipedia DID say he was just a retainer but then in the eve of the trailer some editors tried to change it to say he was a full-blown samurai (with a fief!), and some brave souls kept reverting it until it was locked. This is why Wikipedia is not a trusted source (nor, for that matter, is Encyclopedia Britannica, who without any evidence whatsoever describes Yasuke not just as a samurai but as a bodyguard and a soldier and even as Nobunaga's second who cut off his head after he commited seppuku). Absolutely ridiculous.
@@Pitchguest Lol, I checked the Encyclopedia Brittanica article and wtf was that. The amount of assumptions they make about the guy's life without any evidence whatsoever is crazy.
A retainer is a form of Samurai
It would have been just fine if they just didn't advertise it so heavily as if it was a historical fact that he was "The First Black Samurai" and have all the usual 'this is a work of fiction' bannered in every trailer but they are consciously trying to make this character as a Fact into something he wasn't
where did this information appear in the trailer?
Why are you trying to change history just because you don't like the fact that a black samurai existed?
What you said in your comment is essentially "it would be fine if they just changed his character so that he was different to his real counterpart"
Hattori hanzo? Nah lets make it jamal demarcus from detroit the protagonist
Yasuke being in the game as a cool character you meet would totally make sense. But centering the story around him when this is the first time AssCreed finally gets to this era....yeah thats just mad disrespectful to Japan, and it makes me wonder if Chinese investors pushed for this direction or not 😂
I thought the same thing. He probably would of been a favorite for people if we could meet and help him

I get Japanesse people don´t feel represented in their own country and argueably during the most important time period of Japanesse history, but this time they at least inserted a historically real black guy into popular "culture". Though him being exactly a samurai is rather unlikely. He is in fact recorded fighting with a sword in Nobunaga´s service and was likely his bodyguard or an exotic bouncer. He is in fact recorded coming to Japan in service of Alessandro Valignano, the chief Catholic missionary in the East at the time, also quite likely as his bodyguard and is mentioned being exceptionally strong. Therefore it´s completely plausible portraying him as a warrior.
But i agree they should have added the possibility of playing as an Japanesse male samurai or ninja so that the main actors of Sengoku are not left out. There should be a push to remake the game till november.
"But i agree they should have added the possibility of playing as an Japanesse male samurai or ninja so that the main actors of Sengoku are not left out. There should be a push to remake the game till november"

Uh ever heard of a game called nioh, based on the first irish samurai? ah well nvm you wouldnt get it.
Yasuke was no more than a vassal or servant of Oda Nobunaga. He is mentioned sparingly, and never as a warrior.
There are no records of his military career, no evidence he even entered combat.
Its especially disrespectful to Japanese culture because there are dozens of Japanese samurai and ninja who could've been chosen for this game, and instead they decide to pick a man who is literally the 'token black guy' during the period he is known from.
Yeah there is barely any info on him and if he was a sword bearer, he would not have seen combat. Sword bearers were usually kids that carried the swords around outside of battle.
When Adams was awarded samurai status, the contemporary sources shouldn't shut up about it, cause it was a foreigner becoming a samurai. But not a single mention of Yasuke becoming samurai? That says enough.
He was a retainer. Not a samurai but Oda did trust him.
Square Enix cleaning up in the West explained.
He was appointed Kosho and also it says, on wiki at least, that he was fighting for Oda's heir
Let’s ask a Japanese person if it’s offensive, we don’t need some random are the internet to be offended on their behalf lol.
I think it provides an outsiders perspective which will add a lot of depth to the story. You could see that little girl being shocked by him.
Isn't it just weird how everyone seems to have their OWN story about yasuke? After combing through research for about an hour it seems that most end up concluding he WAS a samurai in Japan during the Sengokku war period. This isn't to say that many conflicting stories don't exist. There exists many theories, for example this entire comment section, that posit entirely different claims. One person states "The real historical Yasuke met Nobunaga for a year, then was sold back to the Jesuits and never obtained a rank as samurai". Some sources say that when he visited Japan, it was the 1550's, while other sources state differently. Someone else in the comments claims he was there from 1579-1582 (however their source is Wikipedia which is shoddy at best). Here's my problem, at the end of the day: This is a historical figure that existed ~500 years ago. So without doubt, of course there is going to be misinformation spread all over the place. I don't believe there is any one way to know for certain if he was or was not a samurai, I feel like people that argue in favor of him being a samurai have never bothered to read about him. Just as the other side who claim that he was never a samurai, cherry pick their evidence or don't research either. This whole argument is fucking stupid if you ask me. Instead of people just being like "oh hey, Ubisoft is making ANOTHER cash-grab Assassins creed game, a franchise for notoriously being dog shit? Oh hey, they either want me to spend $130 to pre-order it or pay a monthly subscription to play it? No thanks, I'll spend my money wiser", instead it's a melting pot of dumb ass opinions. We get it, Ubisoft is pandering, wanna know something crazy though, most people just ignore it and forget it exists, instead of shitting their pants about it on the internet. Vote with your wallet, instead of causing even more publicity for this dog shit series.

For years we wanted a AC game based in Japan historically. Ubisoft went straight with the “black samurai myth”. The point of all of this, is they had TONS of options with legendary shinobi and samurai but they went right to the black samurai. My one friend is from Japan and his father still lives in Japan, I heard the news from him and he was so disappointed with the “black samurai myth”. He actually said that it is racist from Ubisoft. How can you hide or blend in if your are the ONLY black person in a samurai gear in Japan??
I know that AC is not historically anymore and more like a historic fantasy but this is just ridiculous😂
I know right they could pick character like Fuma Kotaro or Hattori Hanzō that famous for this Assasins creed ... why yasuke ? tbh i really want Yasuke game i mean like William adams in "Nioh" thats awesome right. But a fkn ubisoft must pick this "Yasuke" character and ruined it, fkn ubisoft man.

Maces were anti armor weapons and yes, those were used in Japan too. But what comes to Yasuke, he wasnt a assassin, and yes wahmen that were geishas sometimes were assassins.
The funny thing is, that people are saying he's not a real samurai. What if in the game he is given the title of samurai? The response would be well in real life he didn't get that title so it's already inaccurate. Then you bring up no one in the games that existed in history did any of it in real life. They'll say well they're not protagonists. Then you reply with well would you be happy if they made up a black AC character that went thru samurai training? They would blow a fuse and explain why that would be insane!! How there's no chance that a black man would end up in feudal japan and train to be a samurai. Then you bring up yasuke and it goes back full circle.
No one's seen gameplay, no one's said a word about naoe, and i whole heartedly feel that if they used a white man instead of a black man. Yea there'll be some push back, but not a dislike ratio that the game received as soon as they showed the black man. It's actually sad that people pretend like they didn't inherit either a genetic or societal personality trait to be racist especially against black ppl. If the assassin had been Tom Holland, it'll be lets give the game a chance. Smh
