There are plenty of Japanese in the game. Just not the main character. Perhaps you should all get together and make a Samurai Assassin game…with PIN POINT historical accuracy, absolutely ZERO creative liberties, and since English wasn’t invented yet every word either spoken or written should be in Japanese.
The big problem is that he's portrayed as a feared legendary Samurai. Meanwhile there's not even records about him receiving training. Also the fact that he didn't commit Seppuku can be seen as him not considering himself a Samurai either.
Bro the texts on him even portray him like that anyone who didn't complain about Tom Cruise being the main character in the movie last samurai and wants to complain about this is just a joke to me
@@Sensei.shonuff My brother in Christ. What fcking text? At best he was a bodyguard.

Nobody cares that a black man is being portrayed in a japanese setting or story. People are bothered when AC who have made native born main characters in the past, made the deliberate decision to choose the one black man in Japanese history to represent the Japanese culture. And charge $130 for it. Also, the Japanese are NOT taking this game kindly.

@@jgunner94 My guess is he has already bought into the negativity surrounding this game due to it having a black character. So him having his mind changed now by the truth is much too painful, therefore he'd rather stay in denial.
You're right bro. Oda Nobunaga clearly hated Japanese men. Crazy how these westerners set this up hundreds of years ago just so this game could disrespect Japanese men smh.
These people are missing the ENTIRE point. They’re not mad that they included Yasuke. They’re mad that the game takes place in Japan but instead of including a Japanese protagonist they include the one black man in the entirety of Japanese history that exists only from small footnotes in history as the main character. It’s like making a movie set in the mail empire and making it about the one Portuguese man in the entire country. Also there are doubts about the role of Yasuke. There are no records beyond his two year stay in Nobunaga’s court. And to be a samurai one had to train since the age of 7 to become and achieve the rank of samurai. And most of the attribution of being samurai came from him being afforded a land grant, the right to a short sword, and a title. However despite his physical prowess allegedly that of ten men, his introduction into the daimyo’s court was one of curiosity. Nobunaga is noted to having wanted to see a man with black skin. And forced the Portuguese emissary to relinquish him. Yasuke was most likely an attendant much like the blackamoors in the courts of Europe at the time. But that doesn’t mean he was a lowly servant. Me members of the court even those serving as curiosities were often given noble titles. Many natural curiosities like dwarves and hairy men were granted noble status such as in the courts of Spain and Persia and China. But he is not likely to have been a samurai and neither would’ve real samurai regard him as such. Most likely he would’ve returned to Mozambique or more likely Portuguese Goa.
@@Ktsjay187 Not really. The game divulges from the setting of every other game in the series. The game series is called ASSASSINS creed not warriors creed or samurai’s creed. Why is the main character a samurai? It diverts from the game setting in the series. Even games with two protagonists like origins and syndicate both had protagonists who were assassins and made use of the stealth game mechanic. Also the developers tried to justify using Yasuke as a way to show a “different perspective” to ancient Japan but that’s the first time they’ve ever done that. Why? Why divulge from the series setting? In every other game the protagonist comes from that country or at least belonged to an ethnicity that at least had ties to that locale like black flag. Why choose the ONE black man in all of Japanese history? Also why would you pick someone who’s claim to being a samurai is tenuous at best? The evidence for him being a samurai is weak at best and near non existent his entire life being chronicled in ONE paragraph in the Shincho Koki and a letter between Jesuits. Why not make it about any of the hundreds of Japanese samurai who were actually samurai and are supported by evidence?
@@henrylivingstone2971 neither ac odyssey nor Valhalla were assassins games they were both warrior games Secondly, why do you care about a characters nationality so much. In AC4 it was a Welsh protagonist in the Caribbean. Obviously the person made sense given the historical context, but if yasuke existed irl, then the same logic applies.
In every piece of historical art that was shown in this video that depicted yasuke, he was depicted as a jester or servant. How the hell do you look at the depictions of him and say “yaaa this guy was a samurai 🤡”
Sachi Schmidt-Hori promotes "transgenerational romance," or in plain English, adult men getting too close to underage boys. That's who Ubi hired and that's who IGN is propping up.
People like you disgust me. That's all far right extremist incel counter culture war mongering people do nowadays is twist and spew propaganda misinformation. She never promoted nor glorified it. She did a historical study and analysis on the presence of that activity in ancient Japan, because newsflash, it was VERY REAL. Do you really think the ancient Greeks/Spartans were the only ones who practiced homosexuality among wide gaps in age range? It happened A LOT in ancient Japan. Historians analyze and make known this reality because it was common. That doesn't mean someone agrees with it.
According to the “Jesuit Annual Report of Japan”, "The black servant (Yasuke) that the Visitor (inspector) presented to Nobunaga, after Nobunaga’s death, went to the residence of the heir and fought for a considerable length of time. When a retainer of Mitsuhide approached him and fearlessly told him to hand over his sword, he did so. When Mitsuhide was asked by his retainer how to deal with Yasuke, he said, “The black servant is an animal who knows nothing, and he is not even Japanese, so do not kill him.” He decided not to execute him and said, “Place him in the church of the Pardre in India.” As a result, Yasuke was sent to the Nanbanji (Southern Barbarian Temple) and was spared. He was never a samurai, but merely a servant. This is the truth and the conclusion. If you doubt it, check the Japanese version of Wikipedia.
@@yashdd7521 Indeed, Oda Nobunaga is said to have been able to mobilize between 100,000 and 200,000 samurai at most. Yasuke, however, was not even one of them, but was carrying luggage. This highlights the strict social hierarchy and division of roles during the Sengoku period in Japan. Even though Yasuke was close to Nobunaga, his role was that of a servant, not a samurai. It’s a fascinating aspect of Japanese history.
@@gaminginhdmax3854whether you like it or not the last two AC games have been a minimum 40 hours of content for 60$. That'd be considered a bargin in any other entertainment medium.
The problem Is not the fact that yasuke is black, the problem is that he was a real historical figure and assassin creed has never had you play as a real historical figure before.
He wasn't a "real historical figure" he was not even noteworthy. Look into the scandal surrounding his history. Turns out the entire thing was made up by a guy named Thomas Lockley, who has since deleted all of his social media and gone into hiding.
I'm pretty sure that this is nothing compared to all the other things in AC like this is the franchise where you fight the pope,ancient mythical gods and travel through time so what's the problem here?
Please point to me ANYWHERE where it says you’re not allowed to take inspiration from real life sources and cannot take creative liberties with them. I’ll wait.
And there we have it, not one but TWO Japanese people bringing themselves into this showing love to the character. We gotta stop the hate already bru AC games are already pretty much fantasy
You don't get the point at all. The problem is not the Yasuke himself, it's the UBI's attitude and their comments about how he was a historically-confirmed samurai when he was not. It's only fun because we are not sure. We can enjoy creative liberties because we don't know for sure. But UBI broke that.
The issue isn't that he's in the game, the issue is that you don't have a male Japanese protag either. Odyssey let you choose and Valhalla let you choose. Every other assassins creed game had a protag native the land it took place in.

These people are missing the ENTIRE point. They’re not mad that they included Yasuke. They’re mad that the game takes place in Japan but instead of including a Japanese protagonist they include the one black man in the entirety of Japanese history that exists only from small footnotes in history as the main character.
It’s like making a movie set in the mail empire and making it about the one Portuguese man in the entire country. Also there are doubts about the role of Yasuke. There are no records beyond his two year stay in Nobunaga’s court. And to be a samurai one had to train since the age of 7 to become and achieve the rank of samurai.
And most of the attribution of being samurai came from him being afforded a land grant, the right to a short sword, and a title. However despite his physical prowess allegedly that of ten men, his introduction into the daimyo’s court was one of curiosity.
Nobunaga is noted to having wanted to see a man with black skin. And forced the Portuguese emissary to relinquish him. Yasuke was most likely an attendant much like the blackamoors in the courts of Europe at the time. But that doesn’t mean he was a lowly servant. Me members of the court even those serving as curiosities were often given noble titles.
Many natural curiosities like dwarves and hairy men were granted noble status such as in the courts of Spain and Persia and China.
But he is not likely to have been a samurai and neither would’ve real samurai regard him as such. Most likely he would’ve returned to Mozambique or more likely Portuguese Goa.
Naoe is Japanese so there goes your argument 😟
@@Ktsjay187
Not really. The game divulges from the setting of every other game in the series. The game series is called ASSASSINS creed not warriors creed or samurai’s creed. Why is the main character a samurai? It diverts from the game setting in the series. Even games with two protagonists like origins and syndicate both had protagonists who were assassins and made use of the stealth game mechanic.
Also the developers tried to justify using Yasuke as a way to show a “different perspective” to ancient Japan but that’s the first time they’ve ever done that. Why? Why divulge from the series setting? In every other game the protagonist comes from that country or at least belonged to an ethnicity that at least had ties to that locale like black flag. Why choose the ONE black man in all of Japanese history?
Also why would you pick someone who’s claim to being a samurai is tenuous at best? The evidence for him being a samurai is weak at best and near non existent his entire life being chronicled in ONE paragraph in the Shincho Koki and a letter between Jesuits. Why not make it about any of the hundreds of Japanese samurai who were actually samurai and are supported by evidence?

According to the “Jesuit Annual Report of Japan”, "The black servant (Yasuke) that the Visitor (inspector) presented to Nobunaga, after Nobunaga’s death, went to the residence of the heir and fought for a considerable length of time. When a retainer of Mitsuhide approached him and fearlessly told him to hand over his sword, he did so.
When Mitsuhide was asked by his retainer how to deal with Yasuke, he said, “The black servant is an animal who knows nothing, and he is not even Japanese, so do not kill him.” He decided not to execute him and said, “Place him in the church of the Pardre in India.” As a result, Yasuke was sent to the Nanbanji (Southern Barbarian Temple) and was spared.
He was never a samurai, but merely a servant. This is the truth and the conclusion. If you doubt it, check the Japanese version of Wikipedia.
Yup he was a Kosho or a Squire at most
He was a retainer for oda fuckinh nobunaga
That's pretty higher than any samurai of that time
@@yashdd7521 Indeed, Oda Nobunaga is said to have been able to mobilize between 100,000 and 200,000 samurai at most. Yasuke, however, was not even one of them, but was carrying luggage.

People in Japan are hating it though
No they not....im Japanese and I'm completely fine with it
nah, I’m Japanese and I’m hyped for the game.
And there we have it, not one but TWO Japanese people bringing themselves into this showing love to the character. We gotta stop the hate already bru AC games are already pretty much fantasy
日本語版のトレイラーの低評価率を見てください😂かなり嫌われています。そしてあなたに返信している上二人の人間は日本人ではないでしょう😅
@ThirsTDemon "I'm Japanese" was probably born in America.
You don't get the point at all.
The problem is not the Yasuke himself, it's the UBI's attitude and their comments about how he was a historically-confirmed samurai when he was not. It's only fun because we are not sure. We can enjoy creative liberties because we don't know for sure. But UBI broke that.
嘘の歴史を広めて次は…
弥助がいるのに日本舞台のゲーム、映画、漫画に黒人を出さないのは人種差別と言うんでしょ？
娯楽が浸食されて面白く無くなっていった西洋人達が警鐘を鳴らしてくれた理由がよくわかりました。
Welcome to the same boat
IGN pushing this too? Lol
All owned by the BlackRock ESG investment racket.
fun fact：the game you are about to purchase is way more expensive than the price to purchase Yasuke back then
😂😂😂the game would probably be a better investment

日本人であれば誰でも、違和感がたくさんあることに気づきます。
少なくとも、日本ではヒットしないでしょう。主演俳優の鼻毛がでている映画を見続けている気分です。内容に集中できない。
Blackwash.
Wrong definition. U cant turn a black person black and make it blackwash. Stay in school kids
This aged like milk
The issue isn't that he's in the game, the issue is that you don't have a male Japanese protag either. Odyssey let you choose and Valhalla let you choose. Every other assassins creed game had a protag native the land it took place in.
He could have been a great side character or a playable DLC character for anyone who's interested
Why don't you make a video on Ubisoft editing the wiki page of Yasuke? Or is that also creative liberty?
The cope is crazy. They did not change it 😂😂😂
@@ThirsTDemonApprently they did change it, the Japanese wiki when translated is very different, so much so that it's apprent that it was edited. The Japanese wiki got locked recently after people started bringing it up...
@@austinhawthorne6310 Soo your telling me Japanese people changed their on Wikipedia for a video game 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was the exact opposite. You know the edit history is available, right?
@@austinhawthorne6310omg you are stupider then ppl I’ve been seeing
