Yeah, so do that and experience that story. 99.9% of samurai stories have a Japanese protagonist, you don't have to look very hard. You understand that Sucker Punch took creative liberties with the historical accuracy of that game, too, right? Yaskue was a real person who is basically a piece of Sengoku folklore in the modern day. There's nothing forced about telling a story about him in a game as a character in Japan... because he existed, as a person, in Japan.
And there we have it, not one but TWO Japanese people bringing themselves into this showing love to the character. We gotta stop the hate already bru AC games are already pretty much fantasy
GoT is a great game. But do you have any idea how many historical inaccuracies it has??? There was no Jin Sakai who turned to stealth ninja-like arts to defeat the Mongols. Do you know what really defeated the Mongols? Their fleet was wiped out by back to back typhoons that hit Tsushima during the invasion. Whatever Mongols survived were chased away or killed off by Japanese forces. Do you not see the hypocrisy of people worshipping that game but attacking AC Shadows for historical accuracy? Ubisoft never claimed AC Shadows is 100% based on historical events. It is a fiction set against a real time period and real locations with real characters just like GoT, but not 100% historical fact.

The whole Assassin's Creed franchise is about an unknown fictional character thats a local to that region. In AC2 you met Leonardo Da Vinci but you don't play as him. If Yasuke is an NPC in the game just like how the previous AC game deal with known figures, there wouldn't be a problem
Spot on! This is what I've been saying. I'm all for having black characters but it doesn't make sense considering he isn't a native. For all that, just make an AC game in Africa during the songhai empire or something.
How about they step out of the same ol thing over and over and do something new and be different. Ppl wonder why we didn't get an ac game in Japan until now, the reason probably was they did have a story that they wanted to do until someone pitched yasuke story to them
@@jgooner894 My guess is he has already bought into the negativity surrounding this game due to it having a black character. So him having his mind changed now by the truth is much too painful, therefore he'd rather stay in denial.
You're right bro. Oda Nobunaga clearly hated Japanese men. Crazy how these westerners set this up hundreds of years ago just so this game could disrespect Japanese men smh.
There are countless amazing Japanese figures from that period and they make the main character the ONE black person in the country at the time. And he was never a samurai, he was a retainer at best
@azraeliusescanorius8349 assassins really existed, my friend. They lived in Iran. But actually their name was slightly different than we know. It's hashashin not assasin. They numbed their enemys before they took them out. Look it up if you want

The first childrens bokk pn Yaduke was teleased in 1968.Yasuke was officially granted Samarui Status 1581 according to tbe Japanese government abd the Nayuonal history muesem of Japan. He has also been referred to as a Samurai fkr hundreds of years and on every hustory website and historical agency possible. Tbere are no sources or evidence anywhere ever in history saying hecwasnt a Samurai.
Sachi Schmidt-Hori promotes "transgenerational romance," or in plain English, adult men getting too close to underage boys. That's who Ubi hired and that's who IGN is propping up.

@@lysfranc8782 She also wrote a book called "Tales of Idolized Boys: Male-Male Love in Medieval Japanese Narratives" which often depicts sexual relations between Buddhist priests and adolescent boys. Yuck.
That's because of the story. The story is about a man who's not from Japan and is the enemy of the samurai. It takes place in a time period where japan bought guns and cannons for the first time. He then falls in love with the samurai way of life. The story doesn't work unless it's a western guy.
@@jamescooke7243 the story doesn't work if yasuke isn't black bcuz that's who yasuke was!! Why don't y'all get that would y'all feel more comfortable if they turn him white? Would u then feel better????
The big problem is that he's portrayed as a feared legendary Samurai. Meanwhile there's not even records about him receiving training. Also the fact that he didn't commit Seppuku can be seen as him not considering himself a Samurai either.
Bro the texts on him even portray him like that anyone who didn't complain about Tom Cruise being the main character in the movie last samurai and wants to complain about this is just a joke to me
@@CodeineSkeeter My brother in Christ. What fcking text? At best he was a bodyguard. The texts about him just 3 fcking years, from the day he arrives in 1579 to the day he left after Nobunaga died in 1582.

Just to be proficient in Archery alone takes 2-3 years to be proficient. Expertise in Archery would take 6 fcking years. And you're telling me he's an expert archer, a sword and spear master, a horse riding savant, and a Jujutsu master, while he was a fcking slave of an Italian Priest?
@@johngrimm2074 Yasuke (born c. 1550s) was a Black samurai who served the daimyo Oda Nobunaga in Japan during the Sengoku (“Warring States”) period. He was the first known foreigner to achieve samurai status.May 7, 2024
What a dishonest way to frame this. The criticism is this game takes place in Japan therefore the games protagonist should be from that area. Aka Japanese. Also no other assaaians game had you play as an actual historical figure, they were all made up people who would have been native to the land where the game takes place. If this was done anywhere else it would have been weird. Just Imagine an assassins creed game set in Africa with an Asian protagonist. Nobody is doubting this person exist it just looks weird when you have so much rich Asian culture to pull from and you make the protagonist not Asian….
Are we just going to forget about the other protagonist, Naoe? Not a historical figure, Japanese, and her experience (from the trailer) jumpstarts the whole story.
Firstly, Naoe exists. Japanese woman you can play as. Secondly, Ezio wasn't Turkish yet we play as him in Revelations. Edward wasn't native to the Carribbean yet we play as him. Eivor wasn't English yet most of Valhalla takes place in England. She immigrated to England. Sasuke immigrated to Japan. How is that any different.
The issue isn't that Yasuke is in the game. The issue is that it's clearly a forced diversity character. In all AC game we get a male non historically named MC that is from their region: AC1-Altair-Arabian-Middle East AC2-Ezio-Italian-Italy AC3-Connor-Native American-The America ACO-Bayek-Egyptian-Egypt Yet for Japan we get a non male Japanese character that could had been a NPC instead. And what's bothering is that they axe a male japanese MC just to please "modern" audience. It's a fucken joke. Like imagine an African AC and the main character is a chinese dude like wtf?
AC4-Edward-Welsh-Carribean ACFC-Adewale-African-Carribean AC4A-Aveline-French African-America ACR-Shay-Irish-Northamerica ACR-Ezio-Italian-Istanbul ACV-Eivor-Norwegian-England We had an African ac, it was origins. There were no prominent Asian figures in ancient egypt. Yasuke was a prominent figure in japan.
@@fernandodecarlosmalcher7977 fk japanese people right? All nations AC took place in had a person that grew up in theor culture as the main character. Italy had an Italian, Egypt had an Egyptian, France had a French, ETC. But no, Japan has a black Protestant man that was only in Japan for 3 years.
According to the “Jesuit Annual Report of Japan”, "The black servant (Yasuke) that the Visitor (inspector) presented to Nobunaga, after Nobunaga’s death, went to the residence of the heir and fought for a considerable length of time. When a retainer of Mitsuhide approached him and fearlessly told him to hand over his sword, he did so. When Mitsuhide was asked by his retainer how to deal with Yasuke, he said, “The black servant is an animal who knows nothing, and he is not even Japanese, so do not kill him.” He decided not to execute him and said, “Place him in the church of the Pardre in India.” As a result, Yasuke was sent to the Nanbanji (Southern Barbarian Temple) and was spared. He was never a samurai, but merely a servant. This is the truth and the conclusion. If you doubt it, check the Japanese version of Wikipedia.
@@yashdd7521 Indeed, Oda Nobunaga is said to have been able to mobilize between 100,000 and 200,000 samurai at most. Yasuke, however, was not even one of them, but was carrying luggage. This highlights the strict social hierarchy and division of roles during the Sengoku period in Japan. Even though Yasuke was close to Nobunaga, his role was that of a servant, not a samurai. It’s a fascinating aspect of Japanese history.
She clearly has NO IDEA of what the japanese player base perfers, if you get the chrome extension for youtube dislikes you can see that EVERY trailer posted by game-related or media companies got more dislikes than likes, and ubisoft JAPAN got the highest number of dislikes, with the comments filled with angry japanese and western fans.
Objectively it should make for a more fresh and different story where you have two protagonists that are from different culture interacting. So people complaining about something that should make for interesting storytelling.
Explain how it cost a lot? I’m in canada and base game is the same price as any other we’re is this trend coming from that it’s expensive It’s 79.99 in CAD
At that time, Yasuke could only be a black slave, and it was absolutely impossible for him to become a samurai. This is like the story of an African-American from the South becoming the first president of the United States in 1789. This kind of story is nothing but absurd.
Bro are you like 5 years old? It’s based on a legend. Samurai Yasuke is basically a historical tall tale that changed over time just like Santa Claus. Sure Santa was based on a historical Christian bishop but that I’m sure you don’t believe he’s a magic guy flying around delivering presents. And It’s a fictional story in a fantastical video game world none of the games are 1:1 historically accurate.
Ah yes, the same Sachi Schmidt-Hori who is well known for authoring the book "Tales of Idolized Boys: MALE-MALE LOVE IN MEDIEVAL JAPANESE BUDDHIST NARRATIVES"
The sad part is that people treat history as a battlefront for their political ideology. It's almost like the writers never cared about japanese history and only created their own history that fits with their political beliefs/ personal fetish 😞
If they didn’t care about Japanese history why would they use an obscure character form Japanese history? Like saying. This is like saying the Japanese hate America because they made a video game with prince dunsick the main character
It’s the Marxists attempt to get 100%!control of the narrative / cultural hegemony. Read about Antonio Gramsci / Herbert Marcuse. Check „New Discourses“.
My only question is....if the Assassins are supposed to not draw casual attention, how is a 6'5" black man in Edo era Japan going to avoid that? Not exactly the type of person that Edo era Japanese see everyday, and that tends to gather casual attention very quickly.
Bro, do you really not know anything about Yasuke that you can't put two and two together? Imagine you're the only Black person in a country, yeah? How would you hide or move around in secret? You wouldn't. It's not possible. You're too visible and too famous to do anything stealthily. So you do it out in the open. It's why Idris Elba would never have worked as James Bond. Running around European countries, whilst Black, and expecting no one to notice or react to you and giving away your position to the bad guys is just simply impossible. Overt actions would be the only recourse. This game solves that by including Naoe as main character too.

It’s about people applying Antonio Gramsci and Herbert Marcuse on our society - and about the backlash against this annoying marxist victim mentality.
what's the point of using Yasuke in Assassin's Creed as a playable character? The point is to blend in, and he did not ever blend in. Have him as a character as part of the story, sure, work with him, pick up missions, make him an important NPC, yes, definitely, but to play as him counters the point of the game
Dude, he can't blend in. He's a 6'5 Black dude in feudal Japan. He can't blend in. Even a moron can figure that out. It's the same reason Idris Elba could never be James Bond. He'd always stick out like a sore thumb. But what does Yasuke have? Access. He has access to the inner circle and upper echelons of Oda Nobunaga's retainers and an excuse to cut down warring feudal lords whilst being on the side of history that did win Japan. TLDR; Naoe. The stealth portions of the game will be handled by Naoe.
@@MYTMICthe game is assassin's creed not templar knight's creed you play as assassins a shadow warrior who prefer to go in quited get the job done and get out before anyone get alert

Yea, you hate Africans
Damn IGN trynna hard lol
What a dishonest way to frame this. The criticism is this game takes place in Japan therefore the games protagonist should be from that area. Aka Japanese. Also no other assaaians game had you play as an actual historical figure, they were all made up people who would have been native to the land where the game takes place. If this was done anywhere else it would have been weird. Just Imagine an assassins creed game set in Africa with an Asian protagonist. Nobody is doubting this person exist it just looks weird when you have so much rich Asian culture to pull from and you make the protagonist not Asian….
You're triggered over black man shut up.
Soooooo what about the Asian protagonist other than the yasuke? You know the Japanese woman?
Are we just going to forget about the other protagonist, Naoe? Not a historical figure, Japanese, and her experience (from the trailer) jumpstarts the whole story.
Are you saying that female characters don't count as a representation of a culture? People seem to ignore her every time they're arguing about Yasuke
Firstly, Naoe exists. Japanese woman you can play as.
Secondly, Ezio wasn't Turkish yet we play as him in Revelations.
Edward wasn't native to the Carribbean yet we play as him.
Eivor wasn't English yet most of Valhalla takes place in England. She immigrated to England.

AC1-Altair-Arabian-Middle East
AC2-Ezio-Italian-Italy
AC3-Connor-Native American-The America

Yet for Japan we get a non male Japanese character that could had been a NPC instead. And what's bothering is that they axe a male japanese MC just to please "modern" audience. It's a fucken joke. Like imagine an African AC and the main character is a chinese dude like wtf?
Isn't the girl the Asian main character

According to the “Jesuit Annual Report of Japan”, "The black servant (Yasuke) that the Visitor (inspector) presented to Nobunaga, after Nobunaga’s death, went to the residence of the heir and fought for a considerable length of time. When a retainer of Mitsuhide approached him and fearlessly told him to hand over his sword, he did so.
When Mitsuhide was asked by his retainer how to deal with Yasuke, he said, “The black servant is an animal who knows nothing, and he is not even Japanese, so do not kill him.” He decided not to execute him and said, “Place him in the church of the Pardre in India.” As a result, Yasuke was sent to the Nanbanji (Southern Barbarian Temple) and was spared.
He was never a samurai, but merely a servant. This is the truth and the conclusion. If you doubt it, check the Japanese version of Wikipedia.
Yup he was a Kosho or a Squire at most
He was a retainer for oda fuckinh nobunaga
That's pretty higher than any samurai of that time
@@yashdd7521 Indeed, Oda Nobunaga is said to have been able to mobilize between 100,000 and 200,000 samurai at most. Yasuke, however, was not even one of them, but was carrying luggage. This highlights the strict social hierarchy and division of roles during the Sengoku period in Japan. Even though Yasuke was close to Nobunaga, his role was that of a servant, not a samurai. It’s a fascinating aspect of Japanese history.

can you imagine they do a next Assasin's Creed game in Africa and the main protagonist is a white dude?
At that time, Yasuke could only be a black slave, and it was absolutely impossible for him to become a samurai. This is like the story of an African-American from the South becoming the first president of the United States in 1789. This kind of story is nothing but absurd.
You just have forgot about Afro samurai
Bro are you like 5 years old? It’s based on a legend. Samurai Yasuke is basically a historical tall tale that changed over time just like Santa Claus. Sure Santa was based on a historical Christian bishop but that I’m sure you don’t believe he’s a magic guy flying around delivering presents. And It’s a fictional story in a fantastical video game world none of the games are 1:1 historically accurate.

My only question is....if the Assassins are supposed to not draw casual attention, how is a 6'5" black man in Edo era Japan going to avoid that? Not exactly the type of person that Edo era Japanese see everyday, and that tends to gather casual attention very quickly.
Bro, do you really not know anything about Yasuke that you can't put two and two together?
Imagine you're the only Black person in a country, yeah? How would you hide or move around in secret? You wouldn't. It's not possible. You're too visible and too famous to do anything stealthily. So you do it out in the open.
It's why Idris Elba would never have worked as James Bond. Running around European countries, whilst Black, and expecting no one to notice or react to you and giving away your position to the bad guys is just simply impossible. Overt actions would be the only recourse.
