Yasuke has an armor in game with the english inscription; "It is said to have belonged to the famous African samurai Yasuke, retainer of Nobunaga Oda." - now this is a video game, but it got popular since it was uncovered it's pretty much a fan fiction by an Englishman working as historian in Japan that selfsourced on multiple accounts wikipedia articles with ill intent. Make of that what you wish.

Not really, the real clowns are those who are trying to rewrite history and ban people for questioning them, Yasuke wasn't a samurai and no amount of screeching by blue haired clowns at Ubisoft will change that.

Luckily, not!
You will find William from Nioh in this game though, as a cameo fight.

Actually, yes. Your wishes will come true! Just design a black samurai right in the character creator! And you can create TWO at once (twins). Just choose your skin tone and your wet dreams will come true! How easy! :-*

you are clueless, you don't understand what he mean

The basics of Yasuke is that he was a bodyguard of a Jesuit missionary that then came into service of Oda Nobunaga.

Japanese historians have gone on to speculate about samurai status or what his purpose was. But as far as entertainment media such as shows and video games, artists are at liberty to make him a samurai telling whatever story they please given the ambiguous nature of Yasuke history( and ancient history in general).

Those developer freedoms came at the cost of making certain types of scum mad apparently...

he is not even a bodyguard, he basically just walk around and hold nobunaga's sword, literally a servant . In nioh he is samurai because its fiction game made by japanese, its not " HISTORICALLY ACCURATE" like ubipoop said first, second, ubipoop is not even japanese devs so they have no rights to flip other cultures history like they want specially when they have zero clue about it at all.
Oh yes, forgot to mention that they release AC shadows now in basically 9 11 for japanese people

Speculation about his purpose in Nobunaga's inner circle has been debated and talked about from Japanese historians aplenty. Almost everything about it.

My point is that developers, artists, writers have creative liberties given the ambiguous nature of so much of ancient history. It's entertainment after all.
Also Ubisoft's dumb choices aren't lost on me. They'll get what they asked for if AC shadows is not even a good game, irony would say it's Ubisoft's 9 11 if they flop again.

Don’t bring that garbage here. Yasuke was literally in Nioh 2, and nicknamed the Obsidian samurai. You fight with him as an AI partner in a couple missions.

No, there isn't.

Almost all of materials about Yasuke come from the 2023 when AC Shadows is announced or from a book by a dude called Thomas Lockley, they make that ♥♥♥♥ up as they go.

Luckily, now they admit that there's a backlash and wants to put out the fire. The only entertainment left is watching the slow moving trainwreck that is Ubisoft.

The good thing about this backlash is maybe the Japanese will seal up Yasuke for awhile.
They thought it's cool to involve a black dude, until there are people who say samurai are original black.

To me i don't care about having a black samurai in game. But from the looks of it, it's spilling in real life, and people wanting it to be something it clearly wasn't. That's a problem, there's no dancing around it.

RotR english gear description is using the Lockley fanfiction. Guess what's written in the Japanese version text? you guessed it not what the english localizers did. Clearly there is some malice at play in West.

I don't care about what non-Japanese historians have to say about Japanese history all that much. Yasuke's history, Japanese history is best told by people who actually care and would have more knowledge on the matter. It's probably in their best interest to give their own history a fair stab at inaccuracies, speculation, and facts....

Speculation about Yasuke existed before the social political grifts of 2023.
