I like assassin’s creed but Ubisoft is 🗑️

Sucker Punch made a better Japanese AC game with Ghost of Tsushima than Ubisoft ever could. The stealth, the combat, the music, the customization, the visuals, everything about that game is awesome.
It is literally a perfect game!
@@madelinetracy3847 The game made me cry. No cap!!! It was rendered so beautifully like one of those Japanese Samurai movies.
No it was shovel ware, an Assassins creed shovel ware clone done worse than the mainlines. Stop trying to prop up Sony's shovel ware slop that rips off other games poorly with worse game play. It was a garbage game.
Its not an assassin game it’s way better than anything Ubisoft has and will ever make you can enjoying as it is without forcing to be apart of the AC franchise

The right didn't care about contrived representation until the left made it a thing and keeps rubbing our noses in it. That's annoying regardless of your politics or lack of them.
Oh, but you will. That's a guarantee.
As an Asian Male, I'm just absolutely sick and tired of this nonsense. For the first time, we have an Assassin's Creed based in Japan, an 100% obvious Asian Country. However, of course...we CAN'T have a Japanese Male Lead...we have to have a Black individual based upon yes, a Real Person, but one who was NOT a Samurai, but a Servant and Retainer who was paraded around to draw attention because he didn't look like anyone else in Japan.
However, let's go down the list here of Main characters in previous AC games...
Assassin's Creed set in Italy - Plays as an Italian Man
Assassin's Creed set in France - Played as a Frenchman
Assassin's Creed Set in America - Played as a Native American Man
Assassin's Creed Set in Greece - Played as a Greek Man
Assassin's Creed Set in Norway - Played as a Norseman
Assassin's Creed Set in Japan - Played as a Black Man....WTF?!
It's just infuriating at this point that we CANNOT have Japan just be about Japanese people without putting all of this trash inclusiveness into the game. What's so wrong about having a Japanese Male Samurai in a game that's supposed to take place in Feudal Japan?
Doing more digging, you realize that the writer scrapped the previous story which was actually about a Japanese Male in Japan, and instead changed it to a Black Male instead, and when you find out that she also is connected with Sweet Baby Inc...the Woke of all Woke nonsense group for games, this is what we get.
I hope they make a new AC game in the future taking place in Sahara Africa where a Japanese man leads a group of Zulu Warriors.
GTFO Ubisoft.
Black panther as a japanese man 😂
Bro its jooos who want blacks more sympathic for japanese childern who then will vote for open borders bcause brainwashing them into yasuka was a japanese hero
@@viniciusaugusto8050black panther isn’t real.

@@v-doc5230
Maybe. Or maybe because context. Pirates, for the most part, and invaders naturally are not native to their respective areas by their nature. A Black "Samurai", indeed the ONLY Black man, in feudal Japan isn't the same as a pirate or norse invader. It does seem like this was more a choice contrived by the devs to fit a political agenda.
Btw he also "left out" Syria - play as a Syrian.

To be fair he’s not the stealth character apparently he’s like the tank option 😂
.. . . if UBISLOP did a CHARACTER CHOICE sort of deal, and the Asian Dude is the Shinobi, The Lady is a Kunochi and the Yasuke guy is the tank could have been cooler. Hell, put some more character types as options!
but NOOOOOOOOOOOO, GET DEI grants, DIE FROM FACEPLANTS!
🤣🤣
What if: Yasuke was a friendly NPC all throughout the game, feeding you intel and supplies through his connections with the great General.
And near the end of the game theres a sidequest where Yasuke is taken back by his Jesuit slavers and it was your mission to free him and that explains why Yasuke faded from history.
That would be fine, and it would actually be a pretty cool take and make sense.
No, that doesn't work at all. That makes sense and sounds cool.
You've already put more thought into this than the entire dev team.
Great General who?
They could put him in as a DLC character like Adéwalé in black flag.
Yasuke was the original diversity hire.
Yea, even in the historical books there is very little evidence that Yasuke was given samurai status. William Adams on the other hand, his status of being a navigator/samurai is greatly documented. But wokies will continue comparing the two as if they have the same level of importance.
As a Japanese male, it’s extremely disappointing I can’t play as a Japanese male in a game set in feudal Japan. Ubisoft stays sh*tting on Asian males.
I found a nice comment on reddit why that is. It's because to the wokies, you are Schroedinger's "whites". You are included by the wokies, if it pads their numbers, but be careful when they look at you and your culture.
It's Asian hate, and people are just accepting it because a big company is doing it
They shit on every male 💯
well, get use to it, they been doing this to white males for many years. All their heros must now be black or female or part of the 'alphabet' group.
@@MurakamiTenshi I have the strong feeling that these activists don't actually like black people, but weaponize them against white and Asian people, that they indeed hate.

Heck, Akechi Mitsuhide would have been a far better choice by default. They could have even faked his death so he continued his life as a nameless assassin.
Instead of doing all this BS, why don't they just do a game based on Afro Samurai and have them all battle and compete over the headband?
cough ps3 title
Africa isn't woke enough, so Africa is banned by woke people to make games out of.
Tbf this is based on a historic chatacter. The shinobi chick is more unrealistic than he is. Lol
I remember someone at Ubislop years back saying they wouldn't ever make a Japanese AC for some dumb reason or another and now they are making one within the best timeframe for it but with the worst possible characters to lead it, this really is just a waste of the setting now.
I think it's a sign Ubisoft is getting desperate. They've already managed to divide their player base over their cash cow franchise and alienate a lot of them. Now they seem to be putting all their eggs in one basket by investing heavily into the "wok" crap because that's what most everyone else is doing. Typical of Ubisoft for quite awhile now - just trying to make money by approximating whatever seems popular at the moment. As good as the game was, I think this all started with AC4 jumping on the Pirate bandwagon at the time.
Remember when Sucker Punch was criticized for "cultural appropriation" but, the Japanese loved their game? Watch it be the other way around for this.

The worst part here is Wikipedia actually rewriting historical events to, presumably, support a video game.

You can also do like a 2 minute google search to find pretty much the same across many other websites that recognise yasuke as samurai or at least depicted as some kind of warrior that was under the wing of a famous samurai and also had his own armour and sword
Like the Smithsonian and time magazine. Lol. The racist are looking stupid
It's not Wikipedia itself that changes, but ubi supporters did it continuously changing it when other ppl try to fix it.
@@huyle-ob8rg you have an explanation for the rest like the Smithsonian and time magazine who've had publications on Yasuke dating back 5 years ago??. That has nothing to do with Ubisoft or this game.....
Also interesting is you can go onto wikipedia and look at the edit history. One 'user' was repeatedly removing the passage and several others were adding it back. Eventually it became an Edit war where Wikipedia initially added back the text, and locked the section for editing. A few minutes later Wikipedia, while it was still locked, removed the text. Their citation is that there is no conclusive evidence for 'the claim that yasuke was not a samurai'. The literal equivalent of amazon asking for proof that you didn't get your package.
Samurai was not a term widely used in documentation during that era. There's a ton of warriors from that era that fall into the 'we don't know if they were samurai by today's standards but they may as well have been by the standards of the era and region'.
I am frustrated as a Japanese.
You can have as many black men and women as you want if you set it in Africa. But what about Japan?
Chronicle China is not well known, but the main character was Chinese. (But it was only a woman.) Are East Asian men not used to being assassins?

Imagine what it feels like to be white. We have it a lot worse than you.
"only a woman"? Yeah, I see a pattern. You know what, why don't you time travel back to Oda Nobunaga and tell him not to take Yasuke into his service. Also, did you complain when Nioh made Adams the protagonist?
Its defenders would say “bRuH It’s A vIDEO gAmE.” Okay wise guy, what would you think if they casted an Asian dude as the next Black Panther and justified it with “Bruh it’s just a fictional story?” Same energy.
Well if the game was meant to be fictional I wouldn’t have a problem🤯, but if it’s supposed to be historic then I would feel some type of way but really Idc about what race I use on a game that much to throw a hissy fit.

@@grizzakaful yeah 1 black samurai of out thousands.
@@grizzakaful I don’t think they will try to base this character’s story off of Yasuke at all.

This comment is fucking stupid because of the fact that he was historically a real person, plus they very likely chose Yasuke because of his amazing history, of course many other samurai have great history but America knows more about Yasuke than anyone else.

Why not? They steal everything else, including shoes.
must feel superiority knowing thats exactly what was done irl yet can cry now because your game isn't bland skin enough
Ironically, it's so woke that it comes back around to being racist. So, they're saying the first black "immigrant" to Japan is a murderer? No wonder they closed their borders. Ghost of Tsushima is the superior Assassin game.
Most woke shit is literally just selective racism, they're racist FOR black people instead of being racist against them, it never "came back around", both sides are one in the same.
Yasuke being essentially a court jester for Nobunaga makes this all drip with sweet irony. Years later, and he is still being used as a ploy to entertain people who blindly consume media based on the skin color of the characters in their media.

The irony is "Yasuke" means "The Black One" - it would be like having Adewale in AC4 be called "The Negro"....
damn , well call me the brown one then.
Kinda makes sense tho that, that is his name...
Lol
If you morons know the history that you speak of. Yasuke was a real person, he was in fact African and he was also a Samurai. In the mid to late 1500's he came to Japan with a Italian priest in hopes to spread the word of his god. That is when the lords men put their eyes on a giant of a man with black skin they had to bring him to their master. The lord took a liking to Yasuke because of his size and strength and took him under his wing, years later he was a decorated samurai and the lords best friend.
Yaske was likely the only African in the area and so that name makes sense. Calling Adewalde "Negro" would get one deleted. At least the way I played it. Loved deleting bigots for hours.
Barely researching I found how Japan had a more tame xenophobia compared to after the 17th century, but it was still prevalent in the culture... also, one Japanese twitter comment summarized a most enjoyable viewpoint: "Why must this game be about a foreigner coming to japan to butcher its citizens?" The fact this game is taking such a racist action while trying to push DEI politics seems like another tipping point that might help correct the industry. Remember, Netflix paid 2 billion USD for simply “distorting the Egyptian identity” with their Cleopatra show; imagine the threat to a much smaller company like Ubisoft getting a fine like that... for simply trying to push an agenda...
I love Assassin's Creed China most, as it was all I could really play on my laptop during my childhood, and only at 14-20 fps. Still found the main character, a woman trained by Ezio (unoriginally my favorite character in the series) to be intriguing; She had actual backstory, and the low framerate kept halting all my progress as I would die or CTD, deleting whatever progress I made through a level... still looking forward to beating it, when I get a non-cracked copy.

I'm black, and an assassin's Creed fan who always, ALWAYS wanted an assassin creed game based in Japan, the ninja were LITERALLY assassins, and the assassin creed asestitc would go PERFECTLY with it! But unfortunately,i think I might pass because the opportunity has been wasted...im not a masochist by any count, Lara Croft, Samus Aran and Aloy are one of my favorite female characters in gaming. But i don't want to play as a konoichi because in that time period in Japan they were extremely uncommon , they should have had Hattori Hanzo be the main protagonist, or Magoichi Sakai. And Yasuke... I would be cool with the concept, if they didn't say that it was a historical era. I did a lot of research on yasuke cuz I thought it was cool as hell that a black samurai was a thing, but ive did research and everything they're doing with him in this game Feels like full on pandering. They could've made him s DLC character like they did for Awale in AC4. They should've made the Ninja customizable, and the fact that this is THE first time they do anything with Japan and i feel they completely wasted this cool idea that ive always wanted on pandering. And I sadly won't be purchasing this. Such an amazing idea wasted and it makes me sad.😢

Ya know at first i didnt see the big deal in this but now im realizing why people are making it a big deal and angry. Though Yasuke was a real african at that time and present at that time period of japan, he didn't really have that big of a role. I dont mind that ubisoft added him and giving him a bigger role but they could of just had him as a side character that our character worked with constantly in the story and possibly could of made a dlc story like they did with Edward first mate in blackflag. Though i believe some comments people are making are just plain stupid complaining about a black person in japan when there really was at that time. They need to learn some history.
Again, name 10 that were there during the sengoku period since you're so sure about their presence
@@FNownATzz bruh. I just said a person. When did I say black people? I said a African. A African was present at that time and it was yasuke. I didn't say people.
I love that Wikipedia has been in an editing meltdown as they tried to make Yasuke more attuned to the game than reality.
Check out their take on the LA riots. It’s insane lol!
No they did not, they were trying to give people more knowledge on the resources, people were in the comments making things up, Yasuke being called a samurai is old asf, and the stuff they put on wiki is also hella old.
They're literally books about this person being a samurai in fighting in Japan's history
@@judahjudge you didn't know who he was till the trailer dropped. all you lot do is run to google and act like you're an expert on the topic. you did the same thing with female silver surfer.
I agree there are, though its heavily debated. Sadly getting less and less trustworthy when it's coming from US or other Western sources that obviously have a religion going on that they atlre trying to push - ones again - all over the world.
Its also very crinch to have found the one black guy to star in a culture that is so rich and full of history. There are incredible historical figures that they could have chosen that represent the culture way better. On top of that they chose you play as her.... With in the background the character that should have stared the game and would do more just to history and the culture.
In doing so the are destroying more and more IPs and the studios that were build on the backs of our wallets.
it's been a fun day, people on bird app using the netflix anime as their source of "historical accuracy" and others not understanding that Tom Cruise wasn't the "Last samurai". Ah, culture.
Lmao
Wait, Tom Cruise was not the last Samurai?!?! Next thing you’re gonna tell me is Disney is ditching family friendly entertainment.
no but the last samurai was basedo n a real civil war general who trained the japanese governments soldiers against the final stand of samurai
And it was a french general in the original story, not a yankee.
Saigo Takamori was the last samurai
Ubisoft saw Rise of the Ronin and went "lets make the next AC with samouraï..." same they did with the success of Skyrim/God of War and Valhalla's vikings
If Ubisoft really wanted to make something unique, and they insist on having Yasuke as a playable male protagonist, they should've ignored all the exaggerated and bombastic fictions/speculations about him as some badass samurai. Instead, in true Assassin's Creed fashion, they should've used the minimal and lackluster information about him as a convenient cover-up for why he came to Japan, why he became close to Nobunaga Oda, and why he basically disappeared without a trace.
But that would require actual creativity from the writing team, and that's not what Ubislop is all about anymore.
Dear Ubisoft,
Don't stop while you're ahead. More diversity! Pander harder!!! It's over 9000!
Digging themselves deeper and deeper
Japan realized their mistake in investing in ESG and DEI activism.
Not if they think they are getting free money from it.
The thing that's most worrying is that they've been receiving a lot of pressure to make their society more "modern" pushing things like " LGBTQIA+/gender rights" and urges to take in refugees, with some proposed practically claiming mass immigration is the answer to all their problems. Thankfully they seem to have seen what happened in the West and realize it's a slippery slope/way to destroy your unity culture, but who knows how long this Japan will really exist.
The consumers are already learning too
This time they will learn the hard way
You don't even know what those words mean
I'm not even that mad about the meat riding of Yusuke, but to also have the second protagonist be a chick, I mean that's just overdoing it at this point. What they should've done is have a Japanese guy, a Samurai who'd become a ronin and take Yusuke with him and go into hiding. Knowing the friendship and respect he and his leader shared, the Samurai would honor it and tell him that the enemy will come for them and they must fight in resistance. So the now ronin would train Yusuke and tell him that they must stay undercover, so they would go to the Portuguese to make it seem like Yusuke got turned back to them and they would let him go in secret where the Japanese guy would take him after faking his own death. Then the two would be in hiding and the ronin would tell Yusuke that what they will do is for vengeance and honor, but they will become shadows in history, ghosts that never existed. So then they meet some ninjas at some point as the Japanese would tell Yusuke about the legends of the ninjas and when they find them, they would pay for training. Later on the ninjas and them would become allies as the clan that they joined got targeted as well and so now the survivors of the clan would agree on taking them in and create a new circle. That reformed clan would make the two protagonists ninjas and they all would fight in resistance together and avenge their fallen ones and leaders. That's how they should've done it. Yusuke would still be there and they would still get their woke points and with the Japanese character, the fans would also be pleased. So it would've been a win-win for everyone. If they really wanted to have a female character too, then one of the ninja side characters could've been a woman and so there you have it. It still would all work out fine.
Awe man, playing as a monk assassin would have been way cooler. God I hate it here.
Yasuke was literally just a curiosity to the Japanese.
There were so many better historical figures they couldve chosen

DEI not agree
Yes Ragnar Lothbrok would be stealthier than the “Shadow Warrior.” 😂
@@RazSkull673 tbh I don't know what they were thinking with Valhalla.
The only time vikings and stealth should be together is when your talking about how stealthy they aren't

The Jesuits' arrival in Japan is a brutal historical account. Jesuits taught them about the crucifixion, and Japan said, "That's a cool way to deal with enemies," and they used it on the first 300 missionaries.

Great video with a lot of background info. Thanks!
I'm kind of surprised people are still playing AC games. After Black Flag, I was done with a franchise, seeing it going downhill.
Ironic because black flag did the same thing this game is currently doing and I bet you loved that game
Yasuke is so irrelevant you can read his history in 5 minutes
Phss no you mean like 2mins.
The point is they’re using him in the assassins creed
People we would never have known if at all loosely if it were real life your honestly just mad and it’s weird just enjoy the game
The who holds the pen writes history...his-story....
At least you're not denying his existence like the rest of these morons. Can you name a Samurai from the 16th century that would fit the story better? What does it matter?
The first recorded black man in Japan is "irrelevant".
Alot of people would find it natural to call you racist y'know.
Anyone is surprised at this point?
I’m just bummed out
No
Yeah, I'm not mad, just sad. An opportunity to make an interesting game has been wasted, all for another pitiful attempt at social engineering by the gaming industry. What a terrible shame.
@@EndymionTvI’m pretty pissed off than just bummed out actually.
I don’t get excited for these games coming out this industry anymore and you shouldn’t be either. Same crap different theme. Not surprised at all. Save yourself from the disappointment and drop your expectations.
Hey were did you get those excerpts from the Shinchō Kōki?
Yasuke was definitely a samurai. Being a retainer of samurai literally makes him a samurai. He fought beside him
Myamoto Musashi was a Freelancer, a Ronin, almost his whole life. that would have been a perfect protagonist!
when beeing Japanese isn't diverse enough.... no words!
instead, we get one of those FAMOUS female japanese warriors - that were nowhere to be found in this period!
The main character has never been a real existing person in Assassin's Creed. Except for the Syndicate DLC
They just don't want us to have nice things.
They hate God.
That’s ok because I don’t want them to have my money.
THE RACE OF YASUKE ISNT EVEN A VALID REASON TO BE UPSET YALL SHOULD BE UPSET AT UBISOFT FOR BEING A SCUMMY COMPANY WITH PREDATORY PRACTICES ON ITS CONSUMERS

Yall think yall upset now well yall really gonna be upset when you find out that the Next Witcher is also a black guy😂🤣🤣
11:41 remember how in the first game you find the Apple of Eden and you have to fight your mentor as he makes six different clones of himself and then at the end of the game a holographic map shows up of the world and all the pieces of Eden historically accurate
Kinda funny how the Japanese of old used a black men as some sort of jester, and then ubisoft is doing pretty much the exactly same hundreds of years later.
Stfu it a dam game don’t like it don’t play it dam not hard AC timelines not real dude
As a jester? You really don't know... The guy served his master for years as a Samurai. At that time anyone that picked up a weapon to defend a lord was considered a samurai but still. The dude existed and served well, leave it be.
@@dgmt8789 no point lol they see anything other then WM they see red
@@dgmt8789Sorry, but that's bullshit. Samurai at this point in history were members of an established class of gentry. They were minor land-owning nobles similar to knights in Europe. You couldn't become a samurai other than being born or adopted into a samurai family.
He also was in Japan for 2 years as a Jesuit slave, and only served under Oda for 15 months. During which time the highest title he got was 'page', which is a low-level (usually teenage boy) personal servant. The most impressive task he was given was to carry Oda's tools.
The only fighting he ever saw was a single fight at Oda's son's house after Oda was killed. After that he simply disappears from the historical record save a single mention of him from his Jesuit owner who says he survived his injuries.
@@gideonroos1188Not true. Hideyoshi was born a peasant but became a samurai later on. There was a lot more social mobility and flexibility at the time. Ironically, he’s the one who later passed a law in 1586 that made it almost impossible to become a samurai without birthright.
If Egypt can sue Netflix, Japan can sue Ubisoft too.
You think Kishida cares? They removed Abe for a reason. Kishida is 1000% glow bow how mow.
It's absurd that they didn't use a trans indian bi they/them kunoichi too
First I do want to say that kassandra/Alexios were not spartans, they were mercenary, and that eivor didn't become cheif until end of the game when Sigurd when back to Norway. Also sheildmaidens were a thing. Second, I'm honestly confused on who to believe because wiki says he was a retainer and had the rank of konsho, but smithsonian and Britannica articles say he was a samurai. I am genuinely curious how the discourse happened if he was a samurai or not.
The only good this game did was to have edit wars in Wikipedia regarding Yasuke
what??
@@martinnolhaf3151basically like how white people would or any people would alter history like they still do because whoever wins gets to tell the story and if there is no records they will still change for their way
Yasuke was not only the first black Samurai, he also was a time traveller and went back in time and also wore a wig and lorded over ancient Egypt as Cleopatra.
@@LordNithilus alright if we can have those abbilities in game I might play it
Correction Yusuke getting a ceremonial sword and a residence puts him really high in rank he was a weapon bearer guess who was also a weapon bearer akechi mitsuhide the samurai General of Nobunaga (don't take weapons bearer as just a word it was a title he wasn't carrying nobunaga's weapons around) yeah that's the level of rank that black guy got and he was present in every military campaign
Don't just take wikipedia
Info without doing further research
About Wikipedia and any Wikipedia changing stuff over night is one of the reasons I am never gonna throw out my hard copy encyclopedia I got at first grade….
The same can be said about physical media games. Get as many of those as you can, you never know when they might patch BS into your game or shut down servers
Imagine how racist one can be to take other people's culture and do whatever they want with it. This is an absolute sign of malice and disrespect towards what other people have. This thing here is absolutely disgusting and i hope Japan retaliates hard on Ubisoft's racism.
Its all so damn tiring. I wasn't even a fan of Nioh's protagonist being white, so this is silly.
Ubisoft needs to get used to people not buying their games
Ooh good one! I already don’t own Ubisoft games, I am way ahead of them.
Vote with your wallet.
Pin this guy!

What are your bets on the story involving a romance between the 2 protagonists to make the DEI agenda the full shitshow bingo?
I remember when stealth and blending with the crowd was a core mechanic in AC.
Someone a foot taller and with a different skintone then literally anyone else around... is not capable of stealth. The premise of this black guy as some kind of exotic warrior isn't bad, but would fit better with a straight up brawler game. Alternate history, the guy becomes a Ronin during a feudal struggle in the region, and the "Ashen Demon" turns the tide of battle for one faction. Think Skyrim-ish. But meh.
I want to give shoutout to my Asian brothers and sisters, they're trying to push this shit onto your legendary culture. I think we all should stand up and force Ubisoft's hand or at least bankrupt them

At this point I'm wondering why a lot of the people who demand history be altered to insert black people where they werent present arent actually black themselves.
But he was present…it’s documented by Japanese history itself.
@@BMillyWithDHoodE and being present is about all he ever did, actual records have just one line about him lol, and that's about how Nobunaga thought this guy put sh1t on his skin, nothing else lol, He's a nobody.
Except Yasuke was documented andoresentin joans history! Lol. Andevry history website possible has always calledmhina Samurai. There is also NOT any evidence or Historicsl sources saying Yasuke was never a Samurai. It is complety fabricsted narrative on social media from those who cannot accept historical fact due to his race. In addition to that Yasuke was never a custodial servant and was never seen or or referred to as a “pet” as many white people and racists on the far-right have been saying to try and denigrate and disrespect Yasuke. The fact is Yasuke has also been referred to as a “Black Samarui” for hundreds of years and there have been many Biographical Novels, documentaries, TV shows, Netlfix Anime series, videos games and Animated programs for over 5 decades. So the Ubisoft game referring to him as a Samurai has nothing to do with DEI or political correctness as some have suggested. Yasuke was first introduced to Japans school history book curriculum as a “Afro-Samurai” in 1961 and the first Childrens book on Yasuke was released in Japan in 1968 by author Yoshio Kurusu and artist Genjirō Mita published a children's book about Yasuke titled Kurosuke. The following year, the book won the Japanese Association of Writers for Children Prize.”

*When I was in college, I did a history Powerpoint presentation on fact vs. fiction regarding the ninja. While I did my best with the sources I could find at the time, I honestly don't know how much of it is accurate at this point. It was still fun though. Below are a couple of excerpts from two slides. This first quote comes from what I wrote on Kunoichi:*
"Indeed, kunoichi were no progressive fairy tale. As numbers were crucial to operations, ninja were not prejudiced when gathering ranks. Like the men, women of the shinobi lifestyle received almost identical training in killing and stealth. Unlike their male comrades, Kunoichi were in some ways more dangerous in that they had a certain advantage.
Often, these deadly women would infiltrate mission zones disguised as dancers or prostitutes among other facades in order to easily get near their target without the need for sneaking. If she did her job well, the unlucky contract would drop dead before he knew what happened, his assassin simply slipping away unsuspected. After all, most security and commoners back then would be far less likely to assume suspicion of a woman before a man. BIG mistake!"
*This next excerpt is from what I wrote regarding the ninja's real-life capabilities in combat:*
"Sorry to disappoint all you action fans, but real ninja preferred to avoid head-on combat or quickly escape when things got heated. Even their now famed Ninjutsu, developed from studying elements of Chinese and Japanese styles, translates as 'the art of stealth and perseverance'. It was taught for the purposes of survival, not battle.
This is not to say shinobi couldn’t defend themselves when necessary. They thoroughly studied human anatomy and could target pressure points to easily subdue an adversary. They also practiced many disarming techniques to counter even samurai’s bladework, minus the fabled bare-handed sword catch.
Ninja primarily lived as spies, gathering information for their own uses or to sell to interested parties. As they were not beholden to any religious or political loyalty, virtually anyone could hire them. They did not storm battlefields or charge fortresses. Their greatest weapons in the field were strategy and wits, not brawn and steel.
In addition to being used as bodyguards to nearly every Emperor, shinobi also regularly took on a wide variety of mercenary work in sabotage, arson, and even terrorism. For the right price, there were very few things they ethically wouldn’t do. Their code of accomplishing one’s goal by any means necessary without shame was a direct contrast to the samurai’s Bushido philosophy of honor."

Sooooo.... Leonardo davinci was an inventor, never invented anything for the assassins but it was cool how ubisoft implemented him in and had him create things that go against physics and even though he wasn't in venice at that time period they put him there. That was cool af to everyone.
Now yasuke is also a historic figure which you said we know nothing about. All we know is he existed in japan during that time period, may or may not have had title, armor or sword. We dont know. And them using this real person with blank slate a hell no!! If they used some white guy there would be no problem. Smh
Ah, yes.
Actual ninjas: exist.
Ubisoft: let's take this guy who was basically a jester and call him a samurai but also have him break the samurai code and pretend like a large black dude could be discreet in feudal japan.

@@paganicm3954 Except I'm pretty sure being a samurai was a hereditary minor noble position like being a knight in feudal europe. Yasuke wasnt Japanese so he couldnt have come from a Japanese noble family, so he wouldnt have been a samurai proper.
NEVER PRE ORDER FROM UBISOFT, SWEET BABY INC IS INVOLVED WITH THIS GAME, LOOK AT THE LEADER WRITER OF THIS GAME THEY/THEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH THEY/THEMSELVES
Nah i dont think so
The problem with Assassin's Creed is the longer the series has gone on the more it's twisted history by turning the main character basically into Forest Gump. Having to interact with every historical figure of the time. Instead of just being in the time period.
I'm glad you mentioned Nioh. Its a great example of how to do this kind of thing well. The whole game is based on real life historical people and events, but it never pretends to be anything but a fantasy version of it all. You fight Yokai the entire time, Nobunaga is resurrected as a demon, Yasuyoshi Hidetaka is actually two separate people that combine their names and one is a half demon, Honda Tadakatsu's Tonbokiri spear actually shoots lightning, Everyone has guardian spirits that give them magic powers, etc. So having Yauske as the Obsidian Samurai is actually one of the least unrealistic parts of the game.
Plus, the intentions of the two dev teams are clearly very different. Team Ninja, an actual Japanese developer, made Nioh the way it is because it makes it more fun and exciting to play. Ubisoft, not a Japanese developer, just wanted to borrow the popularity of Samurai and Japanese culture, and use it to push their usual diversity preaching on their players. Team Ninja wanted to give their players a good game. Ubisoft wanted to teach their players a lesson. One of those things is a lot more fun than the other.
