Fck there were that many AC games?!
Exactly, it's stupid. If he was DLC that would've been pretty cool but just seems kinda racist and pandering. Why not just make an African setting is my question? Like imagine playing as like a member of Shaka Zulu's tribe or something badass.
>next game set in Russia during the Bolshevik Revolution, play as transgender Latinx in a wheelchair
As a Japanese person, I’ve waited for AC to adapt a Japanese story, so I can play an epic story of a SAMURAI in Japan.
Now in current year, we don’t get a samurai but a forced diversity character that’s not a samurai, OR Japanese.
For context; the real historical Yasuke met Nobunaga for a year, then was sold back to the Jesuits and never obtained a rank as a samurai.
You need more likes. I feel your pain my brother.
Yep, same. This is a big fucking slap to the face. So tired of this shit.
There's so many games where you can play as a samurai in feudal Japan lmaooo
What about the girl is she more accurate?
As a Japanese person also, I just lol when I see this. Of all the notable historical people, samurai, shinobi, warlords, etc they pick the one black guy. Because of course they would lmao
Miyamoto Musashi or Hatori Hanzo would have been faaaaar better choices, both figures are surrounded by myth and actually fit the bill for legendary assassin duelist types. Fuck off ubisoft.
yeah it sucks, Musashi was not even born in Yasuke's time period. I was hoping for a cameo atleast.
What about Sasuke Sarutobi tho
Muzashi was also known to ambush people and fight dirty and unusual. Perfect for an Assassin Samurai hybrid similar to the Spartan Assassin of Odyssey, or Egyptian warrior assassin of Origin etc.
True. Also Yasuke fought one battle and surrendered.
@@Nez949 so set it in Musashi's time? Id have to look through some of the history of when he was alive but it would've made for a way better setting
William Adams (Miura Anjin) was an English navigator who sailed with a Dutch trading fleet to the far East and landed in Japan in 1600. He became a vassal under the Shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, was bestowed with a title, lands and swords, and became the first SAMURAI from England......a white Englishman
My girlfriend is Japanese. I talked to her about this game today and asked how she felt about it. She said she was not angry, but thought it was disrespectful to Japanese people. She also said it's become a well-known American thing to take a main character and turn it into a different race for no reason.
There was a real black samurai in Japan
Hmmm I'm curious. Ask her how she felt when the Japanese put that same black man as a samurai in two of their games as a boss fight. Nioh 1 & 2.
@@cameronleventis7 Where and when? They where ultra racist to blacks back those days.
Yall cry too much.
I seen a few Asian people on Instagram and Facebook said how they get sideline in their own game and that its disrespectful. 1 guy on Facebook said he knows yasuke was a real person. But he was a retainer and not samurai and that Ubisoft only picked him as the main character for oblivious reasons. He even got mad they put white people in that new shogun show. But all of these got the same type of replies.... And that's them being called racist
You know what’s a good trait for an assassin? Being the most identifiable person in the whole country - some Ubisoft dev
"Anything special you noticed about the murderer?"
"He was black"
"That's it boys, we got him"
With a little boy or female hahahaha
That is the most ridiculous part. The scene where he is just chilling and no one notices him, yeah very likely in 16th century Japan.
MIIILES !! THE BLACK ONE!!
Bruh, I'm sitting there watching, because I'm black, and I'm thinking, "what the hell, if this cat doesn't stick out like a sore thumb"
"Yasuke (Japanese: 弥助 / 弥介, Japanese pronunciation: [jasɯke]) was a man of African origin who served as a retainer to the Japanese daimyō Oda Nobunaga for a period of 15 months between 1581-1582, during the Sengoku period, until Nobunaga's death in the Honnō-ji Incident. Yasuke is the earliest known African to appear in Japanese historical records, though his confirmed period of stay in Japan was relatively short - about three years, from 17 August, 1579 to 21 June, 1582"
Wikipedia fake news.
Tom Cruise's Last Samurai is based off true historical events where a French soldier indeed went to Japan to train the Japanese imperial army during the modernization period of Japan. The movie of course take many dramatic liberties and is historically inaccurate, but is still based on a real life white character who had gone to Japan..
I don't care what they tell you in school
Cleopatra was a Samurai
😂
Not just any Samurai, a Black Samurai
LOOOOOL
😂
Sighs smh…. Here we go again… Wyt ppl gon be wyt ppl smh. You’re proof positive of that, like clockwork smh
Ubisoft found the single black man to ever live in Medieval Japan and they immediately made him a serial killer. Nice. Tipical Ubisoft.
he was a samurai to be fair, but they should’ve made a japanese main character
@@drmrguy2he wasn't a samurai, tf are you on about?
@@drmrguy2 he wasn't a samurai, just a retainer.
@@benitocamela174 he WAS a samurai: look up what a retainer is in the Japanese (not European context).

Everybody really wanted an Assassins Creed game set in Japan for a LONG time because the AESTHETIC of the region at that time and AC as series and what it is about just fit like a glove. Everybody when thet pleaded with Ubi to make an AC set in Japan imagined playing as a covert japanese ninja who also happens to be an assassin. Or imagine if all ninja's were actually Templars and they could use the same tactics as you do for the first time in the series history. THAT is what people had in their heads when they thought "AC in Japan". Not a black samurai going around and clubbing other samurai over the head.
It's like if they inserted random black and asian people in Kingdom Come 2 that takes place in 15th century Bohemia AND made you play as one. Even if you had historical documents to prove there were some black people in the region, it's not representative of what that region was like in general and ruins the fantasy of going to that time period and immersing yourself in that world.
"THAT is what people had in their heads when they thought "AC in Japan". Not a black samurai going around and clubbing other samurai over the head"
Thankfully there is literally a japanese playable assassin for you if you don't like going around clubbing other enemies over the head like literally every single other AC game included.
you play AC hoping for historical accuracy? lol
I myself find this game very insulting, because in the game Assassin's Creed: Shadows there wasn't a single instance of Shadow the Hedgehog.
my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
It's almost as if these DEI racists completely forgot that black people actually come from Africa and that Africa has it's own set of cultures, nations and history.
Not to mention hundred of indigenous Australians which date back over 60,000 years of history and culture over hundreds of different peoples and communities
They could make an AC in Africa. But I bet it'll never happen. And I know they made the Egyptian one, but everyone calls that one the Egyptian AC and not the African AC.
Exactly. Blacks were in Japan during the 16th century but since this will probably be a trending discussion, content creators will milk it for what its worth
Well, didn't you know Africans created the Japanese culture and civilization? In fact, didn't you know Africans created all the cultures and civilizations of the world except the African ones??
Nevertheless its still part of Africa. @@talkingtakotaco8611
Don't play Ubisoft games. Easiest problem to solve
Yeah I'm done with Ubisoft. But not because of Shadows.
*ubisoft still exists?!* stopped with them after R6 siege came out as a e-sports hero shooter 😆
I stopped touching ubisoft after AC3 they did my boy so dirty. AC2 was the last "good" game Ubisoft released since
A pirate's life for me
Yep.
As an Italian, I loved to see Ezio and the games with him in many italian cities.
I feel sad for those japanese gamers who waited for a game with a japanese character but they are given a black guy with dreadlocks wearing a samurai armor.
Damn dude, yeah it's tragic. I guess the people wanting to play a Japanese character this game will have to settle for the *checks notes* playable Japanese character.
As a fellow Italian feels like deal with it don’t care it’s a game if you let this get to you that hard deal with it and cope it’s no where close to a big deal
@@theitalian1330 sure let's have AC2 remake with black citizens everywhere in italy and a Chinese pope and an Indian guards for your immersion
You still play as an japanese woman,and if you really wanted that,PLAY GHOST OF TSUSHIMA,way better game
Anyways?
@@sheluvscj8288 is that suppose to be some kind of consolation prize ? At least there is a Japanese woman.
It's still slap in the face to have an insignificant black dude to be a main character in the feudal Japan in one of the more significant period of Japan. If you need a token black guy, he could easily been an NPC to advance to plot.
What pisses me off about the AC franchise and those behind it, is that they "believe" it has happened in real life and that the rest of us are idiots and bigots because we know what is really going on.
Yasuke is the only black guy in japan and is now myth status because he's the only way to insert diversity.
The DEI Trojan Horse
We gotta scour the history books for the first white guy in Africa so we can get some sick Zulu warrior games where we play as a white guy.
I agree with the panthering points, but yasuke wasnt the only black guy in japan at the time.
@@DmadPs nope, he's the only one. recorded.
probably other blacks got 6 feet underground since they not japanese.
Do a little research. You're so wrong and driven by confirmation bias it's hilarious.
Game set in Japan > Oh wow, a Japanese MC?!?!
Ubisoft: No. We picked the one black guy we could find, ignoring 99.9% of the population, and we also made him a Samurai even though he never was.
the fact that people care about it that much is insane ngl
@@ValentinNeacsu99 If people didn't care about it they wouldn't have made the MC black ngl, why do you care so much?
@@ValentinNeacsu99 You don't get the point. It's not about making it a big deal. People probably don't give a crap about the story anyway. Itsabout the Intentions of Ubisoft Forcing this Image of diversity in the dumbest ways possible. Specially when it absolutely makes no sense why a Black man would be the main character of a Samurai game in Feudal Japan.
@@ValentinNeacsu99the fact that people like you have no problem with disrespectful forced diversity speak volume on the level of wokeness we have achived in society. You are probably the biggest fan of rings of power and the new witcher serie😂 just a fanboy eating everything big corporates put out
@@ValentinNeacsu99 the fact that people there cared enough to change history to make it fit is insane ngl
its funny how black, sexuality and woman are the seal of approval for games in twitter nowadays, like bruh.
Female assassins are documented in the 17th century Bansansukai, which fits this time period. They were assassins and infiltrators. They are also mentioned in 2024s SHOGUN series on Disney/Hulu (great show by the way) which strived to be historically accurate.
That show isnt accurate... Hollywood doesnt do historical accuracy.
In the game you have the Option to Play a Female Japanese Samaurai.
So atleast there's a Shred of Reality.
So this is the "cultural colonization" they were talking about.
Yep a lot of boats going to japan in past in 1800's and then their was christian sect or caholic but i forget which one and they were kicked out and some english bloke helped japan people make their own guns so thats how they got empowered with guns.
It’s been done to America and now they’re moving on to other cultures lol
They probably think "if everyone is black then there won't be any racisim." By this point they have already disrepect every other race by ingoring their existience.
@@a.ielimba78 This is set in the Nobunaga period tho, mid to late 1500's which was also when gunpowder was truly introduced to feudal Japan.
@@a.ielimba78Japanese kinda been making matchlock gun since sengoku period though, they bought or took it from Portuguese merchant that got ship wrecked reverse engineer and manufacturing it since. Oda Nobunaga was the one who adopted gun into his army.

Funny thing is when it first came out it actually was called "DIE" but I was too on the nose with what they wanted so they had to change it to DEI later.

The racism is jumping out of people 😂😂😂 I love that they're so upset. Definitely gonna buy it.
I couldn't imagine being Japanese and getting hyped for this, only to see the main guy isn't even Japanese 😂😂😂
Oh They Hating On It Fiercely. Check the Ration on the Official Japanese version of the Trailer 😂
The difference between this and Tom Cruise in Last Samurai, is that was a story about Western USA influence, and technology coming to Japan, and then seeing Japan through the eyes of an American soldier who comes to respect and fight for them. Where this is looking at Feudal Japan through the eyes of a Samurai who isn't Japanese, or even a Samurai. It's not only not integral to the story, it breaks you our of it. Woke for no reason but to be woke.
Ubisoft: let's ignore literally dozens of historical Japanese male warriors and make a game about 1 guy who wasn't even a samurai and lost his first battle then was captured and shipped off..and throw a chick in there and make her gay. Easy DEI money 👍
Edit
Lol! Japanese people are pissed with a lot saying they finally understand what cultural appropriation is 😂. This guy isn't even popular in Japan. He's only widely praised outside of Japan. Japanese players are not happy
Congratulations you could be an Executive in today's Gaming Industry.
where do they say she is gay? Lol
@claverol1 It's a South Park reference.
In the episode, Kathleen Kennedy (Cartman) ruins all new Disney films by asking the team to "Put a chick in it, and make her gay, and lame".
Modern audience😂
@@simonsei1262 Ah Lmao hahaha okay thanks
"Who should we get to be our master assassin?"
"Oh, the only black dude in Japan. You know, so he literally can't blend into crowds and sticks out like a sore thumb everywhere he goes."
Seriously, are they going to get rid of that mechanic or what lol?
Whos a foot taller than everyone.
Yeah, if it weren't an Assassins Creed it would be a more believable scenario. As in "what if there was a black dude and they actually gave him a chance to prove himself".
I mean if you look at the way the story is going to be played, if you choose to play as him you are not playing for stealth, his kit and abilities are directed towards just fighting not assassination. They say this very clearly in their trailer breakdown.
Yasuke was in a powerful position during the times of him being with Oda Nobunaga, so i'm sure people wouldn't really bat an eye if there were to see him.

none of this would be an issue if the idiots at ubisoft just created character customization lmfao
The devs probably creamed their pants when they discovered about this Yasuke guy, a real black men in 1600's Japan, they thought they would be able to push their agenda without people complaining.

Problem is - this guy is not even a real
@@user-vu5rn4cz6s HE IS REAL, its just that he wasnt a samurai. if you dont believe me then search it up on google or youtube
Ubisoft: "We need a black protagonist for this japanese inspired game."
"Shouldnt they be japanese to fit the setting? Or maybe we could set a game in South Africa around the time of Shaka-Zulu"
"Nah, there was a black guy in Japan once, lets do that."
To be fair tho nobody really gives a fuck what gender or colour the character is aslong as the gameplay is good and ppl that care about it r just weird tbh its their game they make it however they want who cares if its a blue guy or a white guy ac never rlly had historically accurate characters anyways apart from side characters bro
Not only that but they choose someone whose name literally means "Across Help" or to say foreign servant 弥助. He was only in Japan for about 15 months or less, was initially liked by Nobunaga for the color of his skin, thought it was a tattoo and forced him to scrub his skin to see if it would rub off. When Nobunaga died, he was called a slave and an animal and sent back to the Jessuits. Obviously they're going to go the route that maybe Yasuke is on the run after Nobunaga's death in this game, and maybe that's how we end up using him to avenge his daimyo but I mean.... Wasn't Nobunaga seen as a tyrant? Unless they make Yasuke switch sides during the rebellion but then who the hell is he fighting if Nobunaga lost.
Why not? It's just fiction.
Doing this to about a country that suffered two atomic bombs is disrespectful and out of touch
@@klord-is9ftfirst they had the bombs, now they have the blacks 😂😂
Yasuke was a Portuguese slave and got bought because the Japanese master thought he was neat, pretty much became his sword golf caddie and would show him off to his guests and when the master died Yasuke got shipped right back to Portugal. He had no part in any Japanese culture or shaping any history.
Why would it matter if he had a role in shaping any history. 😂 and secondly he fought durring the honno ji incident to protect oda nobunaga, you cornball.
Portuguese slave? What the hell are you talking about?
Yasuke was an African salve and he was never in Portugal.
Yasuke was property of an Italian Jesuit and was shipped Goa, India.
Had nothing to do with Portugal.
@@Visigothicwarrior By Portuguese slave I think he meant a slave to the Portuguese, however, you are correct he was bought by the Italian Alessandro Valignano who travelled to Japan with Portuguese Jesuits to oversee the spreading the Christian religion accompanied by Yasuke who he was using as a bodyguard.
since when have any of the main ac characters been real people who shaped history?
@@edgarbean1233no he didn't
Japan has one of the most prominent histories on the planet that involved individuals/ whole clans trained in stealth, sabotage, assassination, and subterfuge. And for the first iteration of a game in this setting, we cast aside most of that potential for the sake of subverting audience expectations?
I have no idea what Ubisoft is trying at this point, or is the outrage they're farming just a marketing ploy?
At this point, players who want their fill of AC in Japan, just indugle in the many titles that beat Ubisoft to the punch.
Ghosts of Tshushima,Sekiro, Nioh, etc
That's kind of the point though. The game is going to be played mostly by Assassins Creed fans. They need a selling point to set it out from the games you listed, because they don't have as good gameplay. So it seems like they are going with the uniqueness of a story around Yasuke as an MC. This way people who are like "hmm, I've always thought Yasuke was kinda cool, it's interesting that I can play him in this game, maybe I'll give it a go"
Just remember the "Woman King" movie. Full blown slavers suddenly Hollywood shows them like some kind of honorable warriors
It's was so hilarious. And then they depicted in the movie like these women fighters fought against slave trade. Like come on!!!
The African or Arab (the largest ever) slave trade are some things Hollywood would never dare cover these days
doof. lol
@@mesicek7 Well the women fighters certainly did fight. And got their asses handed to them by the real liberators. The French completely owned them.
@@nuke2099The French really used to whoop ass
I hope Assassin's Creed Africa has an Asian male as the main character. That would be fair.
Yeah a modern colonizer that is after African resources, dont matter the cost. Using their poverty and hunger to accomplish exploitative agreements. Would be fun since this is the only way asians were present in African history.
You know Yasuke isn't *the* main character, right? He's one of two, the first one introduced being Japanese.
And if they made yet another game that takes place in Africa, with two main characters, one being black and one being asian, would that be bad?
@@halosaft Yes.
@@halosaftYea because it's dumb.
@@halosaft Yes.
And stop trying to diminish what is being done here. It's sickening.
This is BLATANT Cultural Appropriation and BLATANT "Black washing".
It's also why prices are in $9.99s instead of an even $10s, to trick your brain into thinks $60 instead of $70.
Samurai is not a rank! Samurai is a caste of soldiers! Caste! Soldier-servants.
The problem doesn't come from the fact that the main character is black, it's the fact that they're using him to get woke points because this is Ubisoft.
They could’ve not been lazy and made a Japanese game with Japanese and maybe an African/ Americas based game with Black main. Why they do it this way is just lazy writing and research imo😅
Exactly if DEI didn't exist and there wasn't a constant push for this type of stuff then i would even care about this character. But it's the culture surrounding this, that I know this was just for brownie points and pandering.
facts
Sweet Baby Inc also work on this
…So the problem comes from the fact that the main character is black, don’t cope your mind out, this is just wokist fanfiction
Imagine having assassins creed as a series, you finally have it be set in Japan with the rich history and lore of ninjas, with historical figures like Hattori Hanzo, its like they have the baseball ball on the stand or whatever and all they need to do is swing, but instead they decide, "Nah I'm going to have a female ninja and black samurai."
historical ninja/samurai well represented in japanese media? naaah lets pick some pet slave of oda. At this point i feel like they just hate making money
@@lootmaster1337 ow they love money from that ESG shit xD
Tbh the female Shinobe was already rumored since 2021 and it being assassins creed and them being fictional was not surprising. But they using for the first time a historical character in there game and them choosing someone from colour while there are many more legendary samurais they could have chosen for example Musashi Miyamoto.
Automated investments follow ESG scores. Blame that
I might be wrong but i think that the ninjas back then had males and females. It wasnt just fighting it was alot of spionage
The u is almost silent, simply carrying the s from one stressed syllable to the other.
It is essentially reduced to something similar to the English shwa, or what every vowel not part of a stressed syllable is reduced to in English.
As an example, it can be pronounced similar to the si in possessive.
If nothing else, like so many Japanese names pronounced properly, it sounds pretty freaking cool.
Assassin's Creed Grove Street
in historical fact, Oda Nobunaga hated assassination, he only used force, guns and negotiations.
he openly said "assassination is cowardice." meny times on records.
Correction- ALL samurais, who followed Bushido hated it cause this behaviour would dirty their pride and would be loathed by their ancestors after death - similar logic to Valhalla in north.
All samurai hated that because as a Samurai you need to fight with honor even if you know 100% that it will be your death and if you dont and come back, there is only one way out and that is seppuku.
*Many ffs.
This is just objectively wrong. Samurai and any major Japanese figure form the time actively participated in assignations, wether through actually doing it or ordering someone else too. This include Oda, how do you think he conquered so much of Japan? He was a tactical genius and used methods like assassination to pressure his enemies.
@@wisteriaotaku No questions about hiring ninjas or others to kill someone - the question about doing that themselves - the poisonings was considered shamefull act from the perspective of truefull bushido followers.
And Oda could have other officials who would do it instead of him, even without his knowledge.
People who bring up The Last Samurai and Tom Cruise clearly misunderstood the point of the movie. Tom Cruise's character is not the last samurai. Ken Watanabe's chracter is.
It's extremally different story altogether too. Guy was literally officer/mercenary for hire to kill/force to surrender native japanese.
Exactly ,Tom cruise character was just fortunate to have the honor to meet katsumoto that was the last samurai as you said.
Also that story focuses on the clash between western culture embarking onto the formerly isolated feudal Japan. That culture clash IS the focus. Meanwhile Yasuke is a black dude that stayed in Japan for a couple of months and had literally zero impact on Japanese culture -yet modern culture activists love circlekerking his presence because he sticks out like a nail their eyes -and low and behold, they all carry hammers.
that's actually not true. "Samurai" in The Last Samurai is plural. it was the last group of Samurai
They did not see the movie also William Adams was a real samurai.
I do not consider myself a smart person, but not having social media and quitting gaming are my smartest moves ever

Just lots of normies with no standards.
Here Asmon is wrong, hand to hand, man always win, but weapon to weapon, there is no distinction that's why HEMA and other martial arts that uses melee weapons have mix competition. The maths don't lie, the force that you use depends on movement, not force.
Do you mean physics? The formula for force is 𝐹=𝑚⋅𝑎 (force = mass * acceleration), and when it comes to kinetic energy, which is relevant in the impact of a strike, the formula is 𝐸𝑘=12𝑚⋅𝑣2 (kinetic energy = 1/2 mass * velocity squared). More mass or higher velocity results in more energy and potentially more force on impact.
@@paulnash3589 Yeah... and swords have similar mass... I suppose you are saying I'm right, right? Considering we know that the acceleration in a sword point is related to the distribution of the weapon's gravitational center and the motion curve you do when you are to swing it... you understand that the initial force doesn't have to be that equal to have the same amount of force distribution, right? The more lethal the weapon is, the difference in the initial force can be bigger...
I hope your comment is just to agree with me, because if it's not... you either are an ignorant in physics or in martial arts.
I never cared about what race a character is in games until the past 5 years. I only started caring the the past 5 years because of the reason they do it, it seems like I'm being preached to or having DEI rammed down my throat.
The point he said "if the game is good you will still play it" - No I won't, if it is woke I won't go near it, there are too many other great ways I can spend my time so I don't need to put up with that.
Correct me if im wrong, but this is also the first time they use a historical figure as a main playable character. As far as I know, all the previous AC game's protagonists were original characters, and the historical figures were NPCs you would run into throughout the game. It makes it even more obvious that they are doing this for brownie points.
Just looked it up and you’re right. He’s the first historical figure used as a main playable character.
@InfamyJunkie they really gave the male japanese population the middle finger.
@InfamyJunkie yup he should've been a supporting character that also is badass like napoleon from ac unity
His historical evidence is not very well known. Might as well not exist honestly. While he may not have been a Samurai according to many, the japanese wikipedia states he is. Even so, he is a killer for hire and probably picked up the armor somewhere. Not like it matters it's a fuckin fantasy game
@@bedinor You trust wikipedia? look at the edits, japanese historians themselves have said he wasn't a samurai, there are zero historical texts calling him one, the letters the mention him which is where every account of his existence come from, letters, refer to him as a servant or slave. Japanese attractions have labled him as a samurai to attract foreignors and get their money, nothing more
The fact they overlooked Miyamoto Musashi for a black guy of no renown is insulting.

I like that yasuke is getting recognition, i just would have loved it more if it was a different plot. Because yasuke wasnt a real samurai, he was sold back to the jesuits after nobunaga died. Maybe following him trough his one year with nobunaga and dealing with nobunagas death afterwards, and not an honour and respect story, but a story of a guy who gets caught in something he doesn't even know about, while having a blast talking about his worldly travels with nobunaga who is unable to leave because of his duties.

The first non-Japanese samurai was Korean. The second was William Adams. Yasuke was, at most, a retainer and at best a spectacle for Nobunaga. Nobunaga never wrote about him, not once, not even a poem, and Nobunaga wrote poems about EVERYTHING that happened in his life. Being that the AC games at least tried to stick to historical fact, Ubisoft making Yasuke a samurai is a joke and Wikipedia editors desperately attempting to retcon that fact to adhere to Ubisoft's vision is a travesty.
Japan is next front in the culture/DEI war- the conspiracy folks have known it for a while, us normies are just getting exposed to it.
Everyone seems to be missing the point: they are using a 'black' man to insert THEIR opinion on Japanese culture- this is not a historically-accurate version of Yasuke, this is 21st century samboism: what white people think a historical black man thought/acted/behaved like.
wiki says he was a retainer for 3 years, top commentor says hes a japanese fellow and says it was only one. not that bad ion terms of falsities lol
@@DendoSupreme Wikipedia DID say he was just a retainer but then in the eve of the trailer some editors tried to change it to say he was a full-blown samurai (with a fief!), and some brave souls kept reverting it until it was locked. This is why Wikipedia is not a trusted source (nor, for that matter, is Encyclopedia Britannica, who without any evidence whatsoever describes Yasuke not just as a samurai but as a bodyguard and a soldier and even as Nobunaga's second who cut off his head after he commited seppuku). Absolutely ridiculous.
@@Pitchguest Lol, I checked the Encyclopedia Brittanica article and wtf was that. The amount of assumptions they make about the guy's life without any evidence whatsoever is crazy.
A retainer is a form of Samurai
I have no complain about the character being black or based on historical figure. I am angry about the pricing strategy, the price is getting up and up but very little promising brough by Ubisoft themselves. They just take down the Ubisoft subscribe option and let us choose one of the package charges with an expensive price especially the ultimate edition cost 130 dollar, which is unacceptable.
THANK YOU! This is straight price gouging and with other companies moving to subscription based models, seeing ubisoft pull this shit is a slap to the face

They won't make it. Because the main draw of an AC game is exploring an ancient and remarkable civilization full of architecture, innovation, mythology, and interesting people. Would AC developers want to make game that's set in Africa? They won't because they are real racist and not the one who's bashing the game for having a black samurai.
Ironically those will be exclusively black africans and they'll call it "diverse"

And then suggesting they picked yasuke because he is black and not because he is a popular character in japan and in general.
"you get a lot dumb fucking fish" lmaoo got my sub for that
Here are the facts: Yasuke arrived in Japan in 1579 in service of the Italian Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano. He accompanied Valignano when the latter came to the Kyoto area in March 1581 and his appearance caused a lot of interest with the local people.
When Yasuke was presented to Oda Nobunaga, the Japanese Daimyō thought that his skin must have been coloured with black ink. Nobunaga had him strip from the waist up and made him scrub his skin. These events are recorded in a 1581 letter of the Jesuit Luís Fróis to Lourenço Mexia, and in the 1582 Annual Report of the Jesuit Mission in Japan, also by Fróis.
"When Nobunaga realized that the African's skin was indeed black, he took an interest in him."
According to a Japanese accounting of Yaskue states: On the 23rd of the 2nd month 1581, a black page came from the Christian countries. The man was healthy with a good demeanour and Nobunaga praised Yasuke's strength.
Some say that Yasuke could speak or was taught Japanese, and it is stated Nobunaga enjoyed talking with him. However, it is more likely that a Jesuit missionary translated for them, in order to control the dialogue as they were not ones to miss an opportunity to interact with Nobunaga in order to advance their mission.
Reportedly, Nobunaga's nephew gave him a sum of money at this first meeting, for his travels, and on 14 May, Yasuke departed for Echizen Province with Fróis and the other Christians.
During this trip, they met local warlords such as Shibata Katsutoyo, Hashiba Hidekatsu, and Shibata Katsuie, They returned to Kyoto on 30 May.
At some point, although when is not exactly clear, Yasuke entered Nobunaga's service.
Yasuke was also mentioned in the prototype of Shinchō ki owned by Sonkeikaku Bunko , the archives of the Maeda clan.
According to this, Yasuke was given his own residence and a short, ceremonial katana by Nobunaga. Nobunaga also assigned him the duty of weapon bearer (much to the annoyance of actual samurai)
Here is where the facts change to a more fantasised version of events: Nobunaga had a propensity for the unique, and he was particularly interested in all things foreign. Clearly he was fascinated by Yasuke, and this was documented to be to the chagrin of many of his top generals such as Akechi Mitsuhide, who is reported to have been disgusted by the site of Yasuke, and saw him as nothing more than a wild beast.
After the Battle of Tenmokuzan, Nobunaga led his force, including Yasuke, and inspected the former territory of the Takeda clan. So people make the assumption that Yasuke actually fought in this battle, and that he donned Samurai armour and fought as a samurai hero.
A sword bearer (Yasuke) stays behind with the general camp, near to the lord, they don't go out on the battlefield, and there is no record of Yasuke fighting any battle.
There is also no record of Yasuke receiving martial arts training, or use of the Japanese sword, either when in the service of Nobunaga or the years prior.
The truth is that his time with Nobunaga was limited, as they first met in 1581 and Oda Nobunaga was dead a year later. This is hardly enough time for Yasuke to be trained to be the great warrior.
Yasuke as a Samurai: Now for either commercial purpose, or some social equity rationale, some people attempt to equate Yasuke as a non Japanese Samurai in the same way the English sailor William Adams (Pilot) was later viewed.
However, Adams was actually presented Samurai status, and there is no record of Yasuke being bestowed similar Samurai status. The facts are that Oda Nobunaga made him a servant for a few months.
A few months... not a lifetime of service dedicated to serving his lord, ready to give his life in the service of the Oda.
Another fact that is clear; Yasuke was kept around as a talking piece, an oddity for Nobunaga to show off, much in the same way he enjoyed irking other Daimyo by showing them Azai Nagamasa's gold plated skull.
Despite modern versions of Yasuke, if he was this great Samurai some would have you believe, then it stands to reason that he would have either fought to the death at Honnoji but instead was alleged to have been taken by Mitsuhide troops soon after the Honnoji incident, but Akechi had his men return him to the Christian missionaries.
All that is known about the fate of Yaskue , is that he was seen with the Christian Missionaries after Nobunagas death and reportedly fled the country soon after.
So while people may attempt to change the story of Yasuke to suit their agenda, the truth is that such blatantly false attempts to rewrite history are pure revisionism and nothing more.
Faking history because it makes you "feel good" does nothing but a disservice to all students of the culture, the Japanese nation and the historical record.
In fiction i believe it is 100% fine to take these liberties but the amount of people who believe these stories as fact is shocking
Wokeness gonna kill game industry doing it already way successfull

i studied many japan history books never heard of it till wikipedia so i take it with a grain of salt
I read all of these line, great.

Ghost of Tsushima felt like a love letter to Japanese history and culture even if it wasn’t 100% accurate. This just feels like another desperate attempt by Ubisoft to win back what little fans they still have left.

"Its not historical its like fan fiction" YES THATS THE POINT THATS ASSASSIN CREED AS A FRANCHISE
literally 99% of all games ever made or will be made
Assassin's Creed has always been historical fiction so I don't really get pissy about accuracy.
Why I feel disappointed and think they should have went for the Japanese guy is because now Assassin's Creed has a token black guy as a main character (I mean that is what racist media companies do) and we won't probably see another one ever which means we'll never see African, more specifically Sub-Saharan history done. Apart from few stories about the Imperial Age and the abuses the colonizers dealt to the locals we never hear EVER about any other part of history from the region and because of that they could legit bring something NEW and FRESH to the mainstream audience. What you may have heard about is Ethiopia being the land of absolute chads who fought off tons of invasions and were a power to be reckoned with. Even that would be a cool period even though it is not an unknown part of history in mainstream media.
Also one thing where they messed up hard: Japan is the opposite of woke, they are still quite a bit xenophobic (with good reason) and they care for their history dearly too, even when they do historical fiction they do pay attention to detail so I wonder what the Japanese say about this game.

For years we wanted a AC game based in Japan historically. Ubisoft went straight with the “black samurai myth”. The point of all of this, is they had TONS of options with legendary shinobi and samurai but they went right to the black samurai. My one friend is from Japan and his father still lives in Japan, I heard the news from him and he was so disappointed with the “black samurai myth”. He actually said that it is racist from Ubisoft. How can you hide or blend in if your are the ONLY black person in a samurai gear in Japan??
I know that AC is not historically anymore and more like a historic fantasy but this is just ridiculous😂
I know right they could pick character like Fuma Kotaro or Hattori Hanzō that famous for this Assasins creed ... why yasuke ? tbh i really want Yasuke game i mean like William adams in "Nioh" thats awesome right. But a fkn ubisoft must pick this "Yasuke" character and ruined it, fkn ubisoft man.

Is ok with me personally till the Japanese can get their story right abt ww2 and stop worshiping war criminals at there shrines I'm not sure how much I want their history to be celebrated in a way they can enjoy I think its fine for American games to just use their country as a setting. like a place we can just use most Americans never learn enough Japanese history cause while most interesting stuff in history was happening japan was hiding in their room as a nation. because of this u can do what u want with the setting cause only weebs and people from japan will correct u and japan didnt effect the outside world much in 1600 so u can do whatever bc the historical conscious of us doesn't even register 1600s japan

You have nothing to apologize for. The problem is this nosense woke ideology.
Think the main argument about the last samurai, is that in a movie you need a well know actor to get people to go, and Tom Cruise was that. No Japanese actors would get people going to the cinema in America, but with a game you don’t need one

I get Japanesse people don´t feel represented in their own country and argueably during the most important time period of Japanesse history, but this time they at least inserted a historically real black guy into popular "culture". Though him being exactly a samurai is rather unlikely. He is in fact recorded fighting with a sword in Nobunaga´s service and was likely his bodyguard or an exotic bouncer. He is in fact recorded coming to Japan in service of Alessandro Valignano, the chief Catholic missionary in the East at the time, also quite likely as his bodyguard and is mentioned being exceptionally strong. Therefore it´s completely plausible portraying him as a warrior.
But i agree they should have added the possibility of playing as an Japanesse male samurai or ninja so that the main actors of Sengoku are not left out. There should be a push to remake the game till november.
"But i agree they should have added the possibility of playing as an Japanesse male samurai or ninja so that the main actors of Sengoku are not left out. There should be a push to remake the game till november"

Can someone tell me the deference between a Samurai and a retainer? I keep looking it up and I keep getting the same definition that a Retainer is a Samurai. So im confused, is it a hierarchy thing like how the Jedi in starwars works or is it like a "You're apart of this Samurai clan so you technically a Samurai but not really" kinda thing?
Yasuke served Oda Nobunaga as soldier. Yasuke was not a Samurai, but a weapon bearer. I.e. he was allowed to wear a weapon, but he was not granted the status Samurai, nor was he a nobility (which requires Japanese blood). This is a common mistake.
Yasuke came to Japan with the Nanban slave traders (Portuguese). They sold him to Oda Nobunaga who accepted him as slave. He granted him the status of an weapon bearer, which resulted in a rather good position for Yasuke.Yasuke served Oda in some battles unti the Honnō-ji Incident.
The Honnō-ji Incident was the assassination of Oda Nobunaga at the Honnō-ji temple in Kyoto on 21 June 1582. Nobunaga was betrayed by his general Akechi Mitsuhide during his campaign to consolidate centralized power in Japan under his authority. Mitsuhide ambushed the unprotected Nobunaga at Honnō-ji and his eldest son Oda Nobutada at Nijō Palace which resulted in both committing seppuku.
After Nobunaga was defeated by by the Samurai lord Akechi Mitsuhide, Yasuke was captured and likely killed by his troops. Akechi Mitsuhide allegedly called him a non-human animal. Akechi Mitsuhide, next to many others, disliked any foreign presence on the Japanese archipelago. Additionally, Akechi Mitsuhide disliked Oda Nobunaga, who disrespected the imperial court and did not pay as much interest in protecting traditional Japanese values as others, especially Akechi Mitsuhide.
Akechi Mitsuhide
After this, no historical mentions of Yasuke exist anymore. While some suggest that he was deported from Japan, most suggest that he got killed.
The information says that he actually was kicking some ass and was ensured his safety if he surrendered. Akech dehumanized him but we don't know what came of him after, could be he did keep his promise and deport him.
We don't know his true fate. Could be he actually escaped captivity and left the country on his own terms too.
One correction, Yasuke was not killed by Akechi. Instead he was captured and handed over back to the Jesuits.
Damn, I wanna play Onimusha again now...
But, yes, 100% & VERY well said~
@@taddad2641 Thank you always open to learn more.
Im sorry, but can you site your sources. From what I researched he was initially Oda’s servant, Oda took a liking to him and made him his RETAINER. Majority of retainers, if not all, were Samurai and provided military support. So that’s why most assumed he was Samurai. Unless you can provide some sources that can prove otherwise.

The funny thing is, that people are saying he's not a real samurai. What if in the game he is given the title of samurai? The response would be well in real life he didn't get that title so it's already inaccurate. Then you bring up no one in the games that existed in history did any of it in real life. They'll say well they're not protagonists. Then you reply with well would you be happy if they made up a black AC character that went thru samurai training? They would blow a fuse and explain why that would be insane!! How there's no chance that a black man would end up in feudal japan and train to be a samurai. Then you bring up yasuke and it goes back full circle.
No one's seen gameplay, no one's said a word about naoe, and i whole heartedly feel that if they used a white man instead of a black man. Yea there'll be some push back, but not a dislike ratio that the game received as soon as they showed the black man.

With the pricing for how they want you to buy the monthly subscription for 18 dollars. Also keep in mind, that it contains the UPCOMING DLCs, thus meaning that you are not getting on those in 1st day. You need to have that subscription on for like that 4-6months that they spend to release those DLCs. The DLCs can be possibly even made already, but they do not want to release them at the same time, since they want you to stay subscribed for those, and after those months, they have a new game release coming in next month that you are going to wait to be released since its coming soon.

Yasuke was no more than a vassal or servant of Oda Nobunaga. He is mentioned sparingly, and never as a warrior.
There are no records of his military career, no evidence he even entered combat.

Yeah there is barely any info on him and if he was a sword bearer, he would not have seen combat. Sword bearers were usually kids that carried the swords around outside of battle.
When Adams was awarded samurai status, the contemporary sources shouldn't shut up about it, cause it was a foreigner becoming a samurai. But not a single mention of Yasuke becoming samurai? That says enough.
He was a retainer. Not a samurai but Oda did trust him.

I think it provides an outsiders perspective which will add a lot of depth to the story. You could see that little girl being shocked by him.
the white community is mad that they didnt get tom cruise even though yasuke was a real person and because his story is so vague it actually makes it perfect for AC to play with his story. yasuke was a retainer paid by nobunaga given land and was nobunagas sword bearer or something to that effect, which is a great honour. lots of women also fought in japan along side the men so thats no uncommon
We want neither a white or a black man as the maincharacter, we want a japanese. It is stupid to put an assassins who is easy to identify....
There are already 3 games where you play as a blackman, and no as a japanese. Assassins creed: Orgin where you play as Bayek is my favorite Assassins Creed game of all time.
@@friendlyinvestor2282 "It is stupid to put an assassins who is easy to identify.... " You should watch the trailer. It clearly shows a japanese main character as the primary assassin. A japanese woman in japan is as difficult to identify as Ezio was in italy. And if you didn't complain when ezio was in Constantinople, there is no *legitimate* reason to complain about yasuke.

Step 1. Look on a map and watch how far Italy is from Turkey. And look up how a italianman looks compered to a turkishman.
Step 2. Look on a map how far Moçambique is from Japan. Look up how a Moçambiqueianman looks compered to a japanese.
Step 3. Get the point.
they have a season pass for a single player game? or is it multiplayer?
Season passes for single player games are incredibly common.
