      Japanese people doesn't understand why Yasuke picked as legendary samurai in assasin creed, there is many legendary japanese samurai character with complete historic data, why pick Yasuke?

    別にゲームで黒人が主人公の侍になろうが、日本人を殺しまくってようが別に構わん。それくらいじゃ日本人怒らん。
    問題は弥助が侍だったことを史実であるかのように描写してること。もちろん日本でも世界の偉人がアニメに出てきて美少女化することはある。けど誰もそれを史実だ、なんて言わない。皆フィクションだって認識してるから。
    なら弥助が侍であることをフィクションとして描写・説明してくれ。史実と勘違いしてる人が多いし、ゲームがそれを助長してるのが良くない。
    たかがゲームに怒りすぎって意見あるけどそうじゃない。日本の文化や歴史が軽く扱われてるから怒ってるんだ。侍や忍者はフリー素材とでも思ってるのか?UBIは
    あと10年以上アサクリやってた日本人から意見すると、なんで日本人男主人公をオミットしたんだ。せっかく日本舞台のアサクリ楽しみにしてたのに。黒人だからじゃないよ?外国人にしたのが残念なポイント。

    UBI continues to insult Japan
    UBI's development team referred to Yasuke as "our samurai" and said in an interview, "We were looking for someone who could be our non-Japanese eyes.
    The "we" does not include Japanese.
    Furthermore, in an interview with Video_games, the director of AC Shadows answered questions about beheadings, etc. with "So looking at death was a day-to-day occurrence in that period, and the way most people died in Japan during that time is clean decapitations." and other answers.
    Beheadings in this time period are only an act to prove one's merit in war or execution, and beheadings in the streets are neither meaningful nor necessary.
    The video released by UBI for the Japanese market had Chinese subtitles.
    The video itself has been withheld from the public, but the information has already been spread.
    Don't use Japan as a subject if you don't even understand Japanese.
    These are just a few examples.
    Anyone who criticizes UBI is a racist, they say.
    UBI is the racist, not us Japanese.
    UBIは日本を侮辱し続けています
    UBIの開発陣は弥助を「私たちの侍」と称し「日本人ではない私たちの目になれる人物を探していた」とインタビューで答えていた
    「私たち」の中に日本人が含まれていない
    更に『Video_games』インタビュー記事にて、ACシャドウズのディレクターが斬首などに関する質問に対し、「当時、死を目の当たりにすることは日常茶飯事でしたし、当時の日本ではほとんどの人が首をきれいに切られて亡くなっていました。」などと答えていた
    この時代における斬首は戦での手柄を証明する為の行為か処刑ぐらいなものであり、町中での斬首はする意味も必要性もない

    Japan probably has the most protected freedom of expression in the world, and the Japanese are proud of that. Therefore, ordinary Japanese people rarely interfere with creative activities.
    This protest is not simply due to the fact that Japanese people are angry.
    If the fabrication that Yasuke is a legendary samurai spreads as if it were true, there is a danger that other Nobunaga-themed works will be forced to include Yasuke. Furthermore, there may even be demands to have black samurai appear in stories about the Warring States period in general.
    I am not overthinking this, as there have already been calls for the inclusion of black samurai in the TV drama "Shogun.
    In other words, the Japanese protest this time is also aimed at protecting the creative freedom of other works.
    日本は、おそらく世界で一番表現の自由が守られており、それを誇りに思っています。
    ですから、日本人は本来、創作活動に対して干渉される事も、する事も嫌います。
    今回の抗議活動は、単純に日本人が怒っている事だけが原因ではありません。
    もし、弥助が伝説の侍などという捏造が事実であるかのように広まってしまうと、他の信長をテーマをした作品に弥助を登場させるよう強要される危険性があります。さらには、戦国時代の物語全般で、黒人侍を登場させるような要求まで出るかもしれません。
    既にテレビドラマ「将軍」において、黒人侍を出すよう要求する声が上がっていたのですから、私の考えすぎでは無いでしょう。
    つまり今回の日本人の抗議は、他作品の創作の自由を守ることが目的でもあります。

    Normally, Japanese people don't make a fuss about "fake Japanese power games made by foreigners with fake black samurai." Many Japanese will accept the game regardless of whether the protagonist is black, white, or of another race. Even if Yasuke, a black samurai, is the main character, Japanese do not see it as a problem if it is fiction.
    However, the problem is that the game is supposed to be released as "You can study Japanese history." Even disinformation that has already been distributed is believed to be true and is being further promoted. For example, a black man named Yasuke existed, but there is no evidence in Japan that he could become a samurai. Yasuke, a black man, is not well known in Japan unless he is very familiar with history, and even in feudal Japan, fights and beheadings in the streets are not common.
    There is a lot of other false information.
    If the Japanese don't speak up now, they'll be triumphant that the veracity of Ubisoft's claims of Assassins Creed Shadows is “a true historical fact because so many Japanese people acquiesce. ”. Yasuke, a black samurai, exists only in fiction, and Ubisoft's image of the samurai is not authentic and insulting to Japanese.
    普通、日本人は「外国人が作ったニセ黒人のサムライが登場するニセ日本風パワーゲーム」で騒ぐことはないだろう。
    ゲームの主人公が黒人だろうと白人だろう、他の人種だろうと多くの日本人は受け入れるでしょう。
    黒人侍の弥助が主人公であってもフィクションであれば日本人は問題視はしない。
    しかし、問題はこのゲームが「日本史の勉強ができる」として発売されることになっていることだ。すでに配信されている偽情報でさえ、真実と信じられ、さらに喧伝されている。
    例えば、弥助という黒人は存在したが彼が侍になれた証拠は日本には存在していない。
    黒人の弥助は日本では余程歴史に詳しい者でない限り知名度はない。
    封建時代の日本といえど街中での戦闘や斬首は一般的にあり得ない。
    他にも嘘の情報が盛りだくさんだ。
    いま日本人が声を上げなければ、Ubisoftの主張するAssassins Creed Shadowsの真実性は「多くの日本人が黙認しているから本当の歴史的事実なのだ」と彼らは勝ち誇ってしまうだろう。
    黒人侍の弥助はフィクションの中にしか存在しないし、Ubisoftが主張する侍のイメージは日本人から見れば本物ではなく侍に対して侮辱的だ。

    "Based on historical facts." If they had not said this, it would probably be accepted by many Japanese people.
    If it was based on historical fact, Yasuke should not have been a samurai. In addition, the natural scenery, the customs of the people, the buildings, the etiquette, and so on all had to be faithfully recreated.
    What has infuriated Japanese people even more is that Yasuke's Wikipedia page was defaced in relation to the game, and Ubisoft officials have silenced criticism from Japanese people.
    As part of their anti-discrimination efforts, they use black people as protagonists in games set in Japan, but at the same time, they actively discriminate against Japanese people.
    In particular, silencing criticism from Japanese people and using flags from Japanese works without permission can be said to be clearly discriminatory.
    However, many people, including those at Ubisoft, dismiss what we say as Japanese, calling it racism against black people.
    In order to allow black people, who have been treated badly until now, to flourish, Asian people are now being made to suffer badly. This is nothing short of a distorted form of social justice.

    6:00 The difference in relation to Nioh is that William Adams was ACTUALLY a samurai who served under the Tokugawa rule, he is mentioned in many historical documents and represented in several portraits of the time that prove his presence in Japan. He is well known by the Japanese , and that's why it's easy to adapt a story where he's the protagonist.
    Now, compare that to Nobunaga's toy retainer, which people barely know about in Japan, which has almost no historical reference, and which is being used exclusively for browny points?

    UBI made a lot of mistakes in the game, not only in the depiction of Yasuke, but also in other aspects of Japan.
    And they advertised it as "created under the supervision of experts" and "a game about history".
    UBI, please don't lie. Where are the experts?
    Because the depiction in Shadows is very strange from a Japanese point of view. Cherry blossoms in spring and persimmon fruits in autumn seem to be on one screen. Yasuke starts writing calligraphy from the bottom of the scroll, for example. There are many basic mistakes.
    Hence, Japanese people understood that UBI did not want to depict Japan in Shadows. They just wanted to show a black man as a samurai and advertise it as "historical fact" using the word "expert".
    In actual historical fact, Yasuke was a baggage handler. He did not play an active role that would have his name in the historical record. He was a slave of a missionary, but because he was black, Nobunaga took a liking to him, and later he was captured by Akechi Mitsuhide at the Honnoji Incident and later returned to the missionary.
    Various works in the past have used Yasuke as a model, but none of them claimed to be "historical fact. They were released with the awareness of fantasy. They did not infringe on history or start a war on wikipedia.
    UBI is trying to turn the whole thing on its head based on Lockley's "fiction".
    Don't be swayed by UBI's strategy by saying it's just a game.
    UBIはゲーム内で弥助に限らずそれ以外の日本に関する描写も散々に間違えました。
    そしてこれを「専門家の監修のもとにつくった」「歴史にまつわるゲーム」と宣伝しました。
    UBIは嘘をつかないでください。専門家はどこに?
    なぜならシャドウズ内の描写は日本人からみて違和感がすごくあります。春の桜と秋の柿の実が一画面にみえたり。弥助が習字を巻物の一番下から書き始めたりする映像など。基本的な間違いが多いです。
    故に、日本人は「UBIはシャドウズで日本を描きたかったわけではない」というのを理解しました。黒人が侍になっている様子を見せ、それを専門家という単語を使って「史実だ」と宣伝したかっただけなのです。
    実際の史実だと弥助は荷物持ちでした。史料に名前が残るような活躍はしていません。宣教師の奴隷であったけど黒人であった為に信長に気に入られ、その後の本能寺の変で明智光秀にとらえられ、その後宣教師のもとに返された。その間わずか15ヶ月。
    過去様々な作品が弥助をモデルにしてきましたが、そのどれもが「史実」だと言い張ったりはしなかった。ファンタジーの自覚をもってリリースされた。それらは歴史を侵害したり、wikipediaでの戦争は起こさなかった。

    Thanks for covering a topic. As a Japanese, I thank you!
    Many of the Japanese who signed the petition did so knowing that there was little chance of preventing the film's release.
    We protested not that "UBI" features a "black" protagonist, but that it misrepresents many cultures and histories, yet professes to be "historically accurate" without any basis whatsoever, even those who protested against the unauthorized use and commercial exploitation of copyrighted footage, Somehow this was accused of racism.
    Japanese who protested against UBI were blocked, their voices were not heard, and they were accused of racism. If one commented critically on the video, one was called a "racist white man pretending to be Japanese," and conversely, a lie was spread that the Japanese were not angry but happy, a lie that ignored the opinions of the Japanese people.
    By expanding this signature campaign, we want to show that "Japanese" are angry at UBI's "cultural and historical fabrications," "disregard for Asia," and "cultural invasion through fabrications.

    It's strange that Yasuke is a samurai. He is no more than a servant. Explain the historical background of Japan and the existence of materials.
    A time when farmers and merchants carried swords, and there was no definition of samurai.
    It would be unreasonable to define him as a samurai just by holding a sword, and in the first place there is no material that treats him as a samurai.
    Regarding materials related to Yasuke, the only primary source is the Jesuit Japan Annual Report, which may have been written in later years, and the Ietada Diary, Nobunaga Ki, and Nobunaga Kouki are considered secondary sources.
    And there is no information that Yasuke was a samurai.
    Moreover, one year after he served Nobunaga, the Honnoji Incident occurred and he was returned to the missionaries, so he had no time to learn about culture and political strategy.
    Even if he were given a position, he would not be a samurai who would wear armor and fight or participate in politics.

      Because there is no evidence. The whole idea of Yauske being as samurai was promoted by ONE man: An associate professor of multiculturalism at the Nihon University College of Law in Tokyo: Thomas Lockley and the book he wrote about the subject with historical fiction writer Geoffory Girard. I'd like to point out the ALL the research into Yasuke himself by Lockley was by two primary sources, one by European missionaries that claimed Yasuke was made a lord with land etc. and one Japanese that said Yasuke was given the rank of kosho, given a tanto, and pay.
      Yasuke, along with Lockley have been promoted by youtube historians like Metatron ever since.
      In case those that read this don't know what a kosho is, they are type of servant, usually a youth that is a second or later born of a samurai family which will not gain an inheritance because of their position, who go into servitude to a lord with the purpose of either proving their worth or saving enough money to buy the rank of ashigaru or samurai (depending on how much they save) or to move on with their life.
      A kosho typically would be given a third of the land and pay of a samurai and would not be allowed to have a surname, carried the surname of their lord, or have the surname of the family they were born into. Keep in mind that during this time a surname was chosen by the individual upon becoming a samurai and it was a representation of one's personality or exploits.

    Where Ghost of Tsushima failed to piss off Japanese culture and made a game that was accurate historical fiction in a respectful manner.
    Ubisoft as usual chose to disregard accuracy in their historical fiction, actively choosing to disrespect Japanese culture by making Yasuke the main character.
    Yasuke if anything, should have been a side character or simply not been put in the game in the first place because he was a retainer to Oda Nobunaga, but there is no historical facts that say he was a genuine member of the Samurai class.
    The eccentric Nobunaga was someone that saw him as interesting, as he saw a lot of foreign concepts and Yasuke was interesting due to the fact that he could fight and it was the first time Nobunaga had ever seen a Black Man.
    It's an interesting story, but making him the focus character of a Japanese story is very disrespectful to Japanese culture.
    And before dummies and shills try to bring up William from Nioh.
    That character was ACTUALLY based on a non-Japanese member of the Samurai class in real history and Nioh was made by a Japanese studio.
    Yasuke was also in that game, but he was a boss and Nioh was historical fantasy fiction with Yokai in it.

    The problem with this game is that it advertises it as historical fact.
    If it had been promoted on the premise that it was a completely fictional story, this wouldn't have been an issue.
    Nobunaga freed him from slavery and hired him, but he was not given a surname. If he could fight, why did he not do anything when Nobunaga was killed?
    The samurai who found him after the war thought that Yasuke had nothing to do with the battle between the samurai. Therefore, Yasuke was let go and his whereabouts are unknown.
    The problems with this game are as follows:
    "Martin Luther King Jr was merely a portable shrine held up by a powerful white man with a good heart. This is a historical fact."
    "Edison was not a great inventor, but a simple businessman who collected ideas from his talented black subordinates and made them into a business."
    "Haiti gained independence in 1804 thanks to the efforts of those with white blood, and black people alone could not have done such a thing."
    Japanese people feel discriminated against because the creators of this game think it is okay to treat Japanese history in this way.
    In fact, some people have fabricated proverbs that do not exist in Japan, such as the following, in relation to the drama "Shogun."
    「There's a Japanese proverb that says for a Samurai tobe brave, he must have abit of Black blood. (William Spivey, Mar 8, 2024)」

I hope you to understand that samurai in English and in Japanese are meaning different. Maybe samurai in English mean like warrior but in Japanese mean aristocratic worker under lord for example officials, police, soldier and more. If Japanese said Yasuke was not samurai, it is not meant he was not warrior. We call traditional warriors ”BUSHI”. The meaning of samurai in English is like BUSHI.

    Does your country have a custom of keeping records of the names and roles of slaves from other countries?
    If he was a samurai or an active person, someone would surely leave a record for the Japanese people.
    The fact that there is no record of him after the Honnoji Incident means that no one in Japan knows what happened to him afterwards.

      Set in the chaotic Bakumatsu (1853-1867) phase of the Late Edo period, players take on the role of Sakamoto Ryōma, who is distressed resulting from conflicting pressures and uncertainty about one's self and role in the society. Being embroiled in the middle of a Tosa coup d'état and bent on finding the murderer who assassinated his father figure, Ryōma burrows himself with a hidden identity in the streets of Kyo and joins the grim Shinsengumi.
      The game is on every platform I think. It came out Feburary 2023 and is a remake of the same named game from 2014.
