Also, considering how the only thing shown so far is a trailer, how do you know how the main character will be treated in the game? Do you have insider information about the storyline or something?
I think the Japanese are open and appreciative of foreign culture but a foreigner disrespecting Japanese culture is a particular transgression. They've mostly reacted to DEI with confusion but this game tread on a unique sin. Japan is an island nation with profoundly unique linguistics and a history marked with brutal warfare against China and natural disasters. Their political history wavers between periods of openness to foreign ideas and a return to an isolationist culture and this trailer seems to have fanned the flame of isolationism.
Yasuke was used by Japanese developers as well the sengoku games made by koei, nioh and they both depict him as a shadow samurai body guard. If I'm not mistaken there are other Japanese developers that used him as well. I don't see the issue about alternative history. Japan gets a lot of things wrong about other countries is just the scope of which you see things and it's great to research cultures. People develop super heroes, stories, etc based on their experiences, so it's hard to not be biased and want to not insert themselves. It's just an extension of expression. I personally love Asian culture and history. I'm all for respect but to bash for people to bash this and completely write it off. C'mon guys. I don't like the woke agenda or pandering.

This is the exact reason why that movie, the… woman king I think it was, disgusted me. Turning people who did terrible things into the heroes and turning the heroes into the villains because of skin color.
I went and looked at the latest edits to Yasuke's wikipedia page, there is definitely a war going on there between the historical revisionists and actual historians. The historical revisionists are definitely going to lose that one.
Honestly, the same disappointment you feel now is the disapointment i had with Odyssey. Many liked it, but the fact i couldn't go spear and shield like an hoplite (and be forced to use the SoL if i ever wanted to use a 1h wep. and the spear combat feels more like they took inspiration in kung fu rather than spear/polearm fighting) kinda made resent Ubisoft. Valhalla was better, and only bought it because... vikings, honestly. But loved to be an axe and light shield classic norse.
Play Ghost of Tsushima. It's open world, has amazing graphics, a detailed structure of both feudal Japan's landscape and architecture, plus the option to play more stealthy and sneaky (like an Assassin). The OG Assassin's Creed focused on those same qualities and were awesome.
Since Yasuke was a retainer of some lord, why not make him an important side character similar to Leonardo Da Vinci in AC2? People would have been more likely to love him. Now he will be disliked by many

People have been asking for a game set in Japan for years and this is what they get, after Black Flag this series has been progressively getting worse. Can’t believe Desmond died for this.
I mean unity was decent after all the bug fixes still hated how Arnos brain turned to mush every time Elise showed up. Origins was a step in the right direction except for the combat. But I do agree after the black flag it always feels like Ubisoft takes two steps forward and when you think they're finally gonna rebuild their reputation they takes twenty steps back.
I know, imagine being able to play a female shinobi who is native to the country, the main focus of the trailer, AND will likely be able to be played for 98% of the playthrough! The absolute horror and dishonor.
What did Ubisoft expect? Japan was going to be ok with them taking their history and butchering it to satisfy the woke mob stupid fantasy? This would have been a slam dunk if Ubisoft took some time to research the history of the shinobi and set the game during the Sengoku Jidai era of Japan. Every other Assassin's Creed kept the main characters nationality to that particular country. With this one, nope.
There’s a reason why Sucker Punch are ambassadors of Tsushima island. Becuase they actually respected the culture and history. It’s just the black cleopatra all over again
Yasuke is an errand little black boy who's only carry short sword for The Lord 1 year before got sold back to Jesuits. He did nothing beside carry his master sword as his master property showing to the public

How are the 2 comparable??? Afro samurai is pure fiction and should be regarded as not anchored to reality in anyway, where Ubislop is literally trying to rewrite Japanese history using a real life black person that was in japan and saying "look at all the amazing things this black guy did" but in reality he didn't do any of that and very likely never even saw battle even one time. Yasuke was paramount to a slave in japan, he wasn't a fighter, he carried, only carried, the weapons around for real warriors. He was a pack mule for the Japanese in that era. Also, still didn't have dreadlocks in that time, afro samurai wouldn't have had an afro in ancient japan either. Please learn your history 🙏

Can we go back to the days where ubisoft at least tried to fit a fictional story in semi realistic history? Ubisoft has completely lost their mind with Assassin's Creed as a whole. I miss the days like in the ezio trilogy they hinted at religion being real and them trying to figure it all out. Then they went to the scifi alien route. I haven't bought a Ubisoft game since far cry 6. while i liked the game for the most part it was disappointing and a lot of the gameplay decisions like no skill tree was completely stupid. I am glad I haven't bought a ubisoft game since then after what they're doing to star wars outlaws. They're more greedy than ea with that game alone. Not only is most content locked behind multiple different price walls they turned the model into a unrecognizable person who looks like a man in a dress in the alley way offering a "good time".

True, I visited Florence and Rome after playing AC 2 and Brotherhood and was amazed I could actually navigate a lot of the city by where I had been in the game.

Guarentee Ubishaft wont become representatives of the island of tsushima like the G.o.T developers did and that makes them angry, plus they tried manipulating wiki to back their lies
Shōgun despised people from the outside, very few were allowed to stay on that island with Shōgunate Council State Approval. Couple Brits, few Dutch, few Koreans. Thats it. Yasuke (Yahskay) was a novelty, he was not a Samurai, period. A Samurai is a very specific class of people that extends beyond man with Katana.
I’ve studied Japanese history extensively, particularly the end of the Sengoku era through the Battle of Sekigaraha and the establishment of the Tokugawa Shogunate, and I never heard of Yasuke until this whole woke bull crap started.
@@fish-kt4iq what does that have to do with him being legit? no one gives af about william and didnt really care about his existence until nioh as welll
Assassin's Creed has a game mechanic where you can hide in the crowd. How can you do that when you're the only 7 ft tall black man in the entire nation. Sure, the character can use a disguise, but it won't hide his height. From a historical perspective, the african was never a samurai. He was a retainer, used as a gimmick for entertainment.
I'd feel disrespected as a black person as well. This is Ubisoft saying "we want a black skinned person for virtue points but we think African land, history, and countries suck, so we're just gonna plop a black guy in the much cooler Japanese setting where he doesn't belong."

I'm Japanese. I don't know how to express this feeling. Anger, disappointment, sadness, and lethargy. At first I tried to accept this title. ”Games with Yasuke as the main character are also innovative.” Looking at the square tatami, the upside-down family crest, and the interview with the creator, I realized that they had no respect for Japan. Yasuke was just a servant. He wasn't a samurai. Japanese culture has been co-opted into UBI's LGBTQ cosplay. Although I've been playing since the first Assassin's Creed, I've decided to stop being a fan of the series. Goodbye UBI.
"Yasuke" was NOT the "first black samurai", he was a retainer, effectively a novelty kept by Nobunaga because he enjoyed his company and apparently could do a few "tricks". He did nothing of significance, knew little Japanese, and was referred to as a slave and animal by Mitsuhide who spared his life. If at all, he MIGHT have fought in a single battle of which he surrendered. (wasn't even a battle, more of a skirmish) Of ALL significant moments in the history of the Samurai...."Yasuke" was not one of them, the only reason he was anything of note at all, and why anyone knows anything about him was literally because he was black and therefore, an oddity.
Toyotomi hideyoshi took 10 years to gain the rank of samurai with multiple achievements, so it's safe to say his not a samurai. Court records the ranks given to people even when they lose importance, literal goshi(samurai only in name) were recorded for hundreds of years. This guys none, only a letter or two with a passing mention of him.
Maybe since it's an assassin's creed game, which is NOT actually going back in time and just a simulation, maybe history can change in that simulation. It doesn't seem that hard to understand. Though I can see how it looks really bad when people don't know that.
@@ravefm2898 That might have been an acceptable excuse when the PC was an unknown nobody...which was the point of the franchise originally, before they started making the PC's well known figures in game. But pulling from history and real events is an entirely different beast. Battlefield V learned this the hard way when they stole real world events, threw the actual people aside to gender swap the protagonists...that didn't go well... So if they chose to use a random Japanese person, there would be no issues (notice how no one has any issues with the female PC at all) . But that isn't what they chose to do. Instead they took an existing story and raced swapped the main character who happens to BE a real person...who did nothing, and elevate them in a story and setting they otherwise have no right being in and on top of that, the race swap makes ZERO sense for the core concept of the game itself. I'm sure you've heard the meme/joke about trying to blend in with a crowd as a 6' tall black man...in Japan. Long story short, no, "it's a simulation" doesn't play out, as people have pointed out, when you're in Greece, you're Greek, when you're in Norway you're Norwegian, when you're in Italy, you're Italian, when you're in Egypt you're Egyptian, when you're in America you're native American and so on...but you're NOT Japanese when you're in Japan and the ONLY reason they did it was because of this ONE singular instance on a novelty act (there are literally more examples of white people in the same scenario who actually had an impact...and they aren't using them....and nobody wants them to) This was a DEI move and everyone knows it
Assassin's Creed has never been a historically accurate game but this feels like a step too far. I have no problem if they want to have an original playable black character in their games, but this ain't it even though Yasuke was a real person.
You didn’t draw the line at a slave becoming an assassin freeing other slaves in a work of fiction but say this other work of fiction is going to far 😂
The issue isnt even its a black dude as the character, the issue is people are DONE with this DEI woke BS. It's so old, and exausting. It's the boy who cried wolf scenario now, even if this game had good intentions with the character (it does not). People are so tired of this crap that they will call it out, good intention or not. The issue is gamers do not trust these companies to make games in good faith, and they dont see characters like this, or Miles Morales, in good faith anymore. Because we've been bombarded from all sides so heavily with this 'Agenda' for so long, most people refuse to give these people making the game the benifit of the doubt. As they shouldn't. This woke DEI crap has to be defeated, and if it takes a few good intentioned games or movies with, thats the price that has to be paid at this point, unfortunately. These companies, game, Hollywood, Disney, or otherwise, brought this on themselves, and deserve all the backlash and boycotting.
Honestly, if they made it a Japanese man with DLC playing as Yasuke, that would have probably done quite well. People would have been excited for extra content that is different from the game. Too bad Ubisoft sucks as games
So do I get this straight that a French company takes another countries culture and alters it to fit their cultural views? History might not repeat itself but it sure does rhyme.
I looked it up. France is the main base but Montreal Canada branch is the main base for creating assassin's Creed games so we can blame both the French and Canadians for this rewrite of history and insulting a different country.

I think the Japanese are open and appreciative of foreign culture but a foreigner disrespecting Japanese culture is a particular transgression. They've mostly reacted to DEI with confusion but this game tread on a unique sin. Japan is an island nation with profoundly unique linguistics and a history marked with brutal warfare against China and natural disasters. Their political history wavers between periods of openness to foreign ideas and a return to an isolationist culture and this trailer seems to have fanned the flame of isolationism.

Yasuke was used by Japanese developers as well the sengoku games made by koei, nioh and they both depict him as a shadow samurai body guard. If I'm not mistaken there are other Japanese developers that used him as well. I don't see the issue about alternative history. Japan gets a lot of things wrong about other countries is just the scope of which you see things and it's great to research cultures. People develop super heroes, stories, etc based on their experiences, so it's hard to not be biased and want to not insert themselves. It's just an extension of expression. I personally love Asian culture and history. I'm all for respect but to bash for people to bash this and completely write it off. C'mon guys. I don't like the woke agenda or pandering. I think they are trying to weave a story about 2 outsiders in Japan an iga kunoichi and a black man... Both considered outsiders. But you guys tell me what you think respectfully of course.

All i wanted was an assassin's creed that takes place in feudal Japan and... they ruined it.
I know, it's all so tiresome and pathetic.
It just what they do....
Honestly, the same disappointment you feel now is the disapointment i had with Odyssey. Many liked it, but the fact i couldn't go spear and shield like an hoplite (and be forced to use the SoL if i ever wanted to use a 1h wep. and the spear combat feels more like they took inspiration in kung fu rather than spear/polearm fighting) kinda made resent Ubisoft. Valhalla was better, and only bought it because... vikings, honestly. But loved to be an axe and light shield classic norse.
This has become all too common with games now... whenever I hear about a sequel or remake that I would love (in theory), they find a way to ruin it.
Play Ghost of Tsushima. It's open world, has amazing graphics, a detailed structure of both feudal Japan's landscape and architecture, plus the option to play more stealthy and sneaky (like an Assassin).
The OG Assassin's Creed focused on those same qualities and were awesome.
Since Yasuke was a retainer of some lord, why not make him an important side character similar to Leonardo Da Vinci in AC2? People would have been more likely to love him. Now he will be disliked by many
Yup. Yasuke should’ve been the “Q” character.
I also heard he was a weapon bearer, so I side character which is accurate to history would have been much better.
"Yasuke" was a slave with a cool name. Nobunaga's pet.
Idk why western game devs have to be so revisionist, especially with other countries histories. The pandering is gross.
Who nose?
A game set in Japan and they choose a Black man to be the male character than a Japanese man.

Can’t believe Desmond died for this.
Ubisoft saw Ghost of Tsushima and said how can we make a worse game.
I mean unity was decent after all the bug fixes still hated how Arnos brain turned to mush every time Elise showed up. Origins was a step in the right direction except for the combat. But I do agree after the black flag it always feels like Ubisoft takes two steps forward and when you think they're finally gonna rebuild their reputation they takes twenty steps back.

What did Ubisoft expect? Japan was going to be ok with them taking their history and butchering it to satisfy the woke mob stupid fantasy?

Every other Assassin's Creed kept the main characters nationality to that particular country. With this one, nope.

Yasuke was paramount to a slave in japan, he wasn't a fighter, he carried, only carried, the weapons around for real warriors. He was a pack mule for the Japanese in that era.
Also, still didn't have dreadlocks in that time, afro samurai wouldn't have had an afro in ancient japan either.

Can we go back to the days where ubisoft at least tried to fit a fictional story in semi realistic history? Ubisoft has completely lost their mind with Assassin's Creed as a whole. I miss the days like in the ezio trilogy they hinted at religion being real and them trying to figure it all out. Then they went to the scifi alien route. I haven't bought a Ubisoft game since far cry 6. while i liked the game for the most part it was disappointing and a lot of the gameplay decisions like no skill tree was completely stupid. I am glad I haven't bought a ubisoft game since then after what they're doing to star wars outlaws. They're more greedy than ea with that game alone. Not only is most content locked behind multiple different price walls they turned the model into a unrecognizable person who looks like a man in a dress in the alley way offering a "good time".

Assassin's Creed has a game mechanic where you can hide in the crowd. How can you do that when you're the only 7 ft tall black man in the entire nation. Sure, the character can use a disguise, but it won't hide his height.
From a historical perspective, the african was never a samurai. He was a retainer, used as a gimmick for entertainment.
If I was Japanese, i'd feel completely disrespected. Their history and culture is not a tool for DEI and to boost ESG scores.

At first I tried to accept this title. ”Games with Yasuke as the main character are also innovative.”
Looking at the square tatami, the upside-down family crest, and the interview with the creator, I realized that they had no respect for Japan.
Yasuke was just a servant. He wasn't a samurai.
Japanese culture has been co-opted into UBI's LGBTQ cosplay.
Although I've been playing since the first Assassin's Creed, I've decided to stop being a fan of the series. Goodbye UBI.
"Yasuke" was NOT the "first black samurai", he was a retainer, effectively a novelty kept by Nobunaga because he enjoyed his company and apparently could do a few "tricks". He did nothing of significance, knew little Japanese, and was referred to as a slave and animal by Mitsuhide who spared his life. If at all, he MIGHT have fought in a single battle of which he surrendered. (wasn't even a battle, more of a skirmish)
Of ALL significant moments in the history of the Samurai...."Yasuke" was not one of them, the only reason he was anything of note at all, and why anyone knows anything about him was literally because he was black and therefore, an oddity.
Toyotomi hideyoshi took 10 years to gain the rank of samurai with multiple achievements, so it's safe to say his not a samurai. Court records the ranks given to people even when they lose importance, literal goshi(samurai only in name) were recorded for hundreds of years. This guys none, only a letter or two with a passing mention of him.
Maybe since it's an assassin's creed game, which is NOT actually going back in time and just a simulation, maybe history can change in that simulation. It doesn't seem that hard to understand. Though I can see how it looks really bad when people don't know that.
@@ravefm2898 That might have been an acceptable excuse when the PC was an unknown nobody...which was the point of the franchise originally, before they started making the PC's well known figures in game. But pulling from history and real events is an entirely different beast. Battlefield V learned this the hard way when they stole real world events, threw the actual people aside to gender swap the protagonists...that didn't go well...
So if they chose to use a random Japanese person, there would be no issues (notice how no one has any issues with the female PC at all) . But that isn't what they chose to do. Instead they took an existing story and raced swapped the main character who happens to BE a real person...who did nothing, and elevate them in a story and setting they otherwise have no right being in and on top of that, the race swap makes ZERO sense for the core concept of the game itself. I'm sure you've heard the meme/joke about trying to blend in with a crowd as a 6' tall black man...in Japan.
Long story short, no, "it's a simulation" doesn't play out, as people have pointed out, when you're in Greece, you're Greek, when you're in Norway you're Norwegian, when you're in Italy, you're Italian, when you're in Egypt you're Egyptian, when you're in America you're native American and so on...but you're NOT Japanese when you're in Japan and the ONLY reason they did it was because of this ONE singular instance on a novelty act (there are literally more examples of white people in the same scenario who actually had an impact...and they aren't using them....and nobody wants them to) This was a DEI move and everyone knows it

The issue is gamers do not trust these companies to make games in good faith, and they dont see characters like this, or Miles Morales, in good faith anymore. Because we've been bombarded from all sides so heavily with this 'Agenda' for so long, most people refuse to give these people making the game the benifit of the doubt. As they shouldn't. This woke DEI crap has to be defeated, and if it takes a few good intentioned games or movies with, thats the price that has to be paid at this point, unfortunately. These companies, game, Hollywood, Disney, or otherwise, brought this on themselves, and deserve all the backlash and boycotting.
The second they let Sweet Baby, Inc. into the picture, any "good intentions" were hurled explosively out the nearest window.
Exactly. People are thinking this is because they are "disconnected" or "just bad decisions".....No, this is all deliberate.
it never ends well with this DEI stuff. It will end up in the dumpster like Forspoken
Typical Jewry
Woke and Dei seems to only be referred to whenever it’s none white people. seems like an agenda.
Honestly, if they made it a Japanese man with DLC playing as Yasuke, that would have probably done quite well. People would have been excited for extra content that is different from the game. Too bad Ubisoft sucks as games
This isn't about a "bad decision." Its all deliberate. People need to understand this.
So basically Yasuke was a sword caddie?
Tbf that sounds more badass than actual caddie.
yes he was but ubisoft took sweetbabyinc money and try defile history and try potray him in this game as something he was not
@@mscapeh4451 Oh believe me I'm well aware.
So do I get this straight that a French company takes another countries culture and alters it to fit their cultural views?
History might not repeat itself but it sure does rhyme.
At least sucker punch did research and did stuff historically accurate majority of the time
I looked it up. France is the main base but Montreal Canada branch is the main base for creating assassin's Creed games so we can blame both the French and Canadians for this rewrite of history and insulting a different country.
@@kopykat6843both being french (quebec)
@kopykat6843 Ubi Montpellier is still good but the northern american branched have been completely poisoned by the EA and Woke Baby Inc. mentalities of murican studios
I miss the simple days of Tenchu....
And I miss the simple days of Onimusha...
Black Samurai coming from Ubisoft Quebec. Western Colonialization... Oh the irony.
What a great idea to take a footnote in Japanese history and promote him to the main character in a faux Japanese setting. It's disrespectful and embarrassing but considering the staff behind this farce it's not surprising.
So French company, based in Montreal is putting an African man into a game set in feudal Japan? I'm guessing Sweat Baby was consulted?
I'm sick of catching strays for activists.
Great way of putting it lol
Japan blaming us for this nah we hate it too.
The do something about it.
@@StupidAnon-gn8ihwe try. They call us 🦝....🦝....🦝
I'm just glad everyone is mad about this garbage. Cause it's definitely garbage.
I felt that homie 😂
