I know Cory's gonna be happy.
Yea he’ll react to it in 8 months or more 😂
Yea this game is free money for him, he'll be back when it releases and act like nothing happened.
@ReggiePhilipsdawg he was in Japan long ago☠️

@@Ixxotic hes gonna be back bc ubisoft sponsored him dropped one vid abt the game and then dipped for another 9 months💀💀
Bro told a better story about Yasuke than the Anime
bruh when i saw mechs i was like hell naw
The Yasuke anime was on par with Berserk 2016-17 with how hard they fumbled that shit
@@SirStrugglesAlot They even had the goats Mappa working on it. Such a waste of good animation
@@SavantPeteit’s the animators that are goated not mappa

There was supposed to be a movie made starring Chadwick boseman but unfortunately the project was axed upon Chadwick's passing.😢
Damn that would’ve been so good
Damn that would’ve been fire
If they do still make that movie I hope they don’t feel the need to put some sword fights in there or some over the top action.. the story of a slave turned member of the warrior class is interesting enough. Just make it a drama.
@@firstlast9846 How can you have a samurai movie without sword fights? lol
That's unfortunate but I bet they could still do it with another good actor.
I'm just glad they didnt give him the killmonger hair

hell naw, I guarantee u it's gonna drop on the battlepass lol

just so you know, I've heard that they change yasuke's story to fit in with the narrative that they're trying to create in ac, but hopefully it's just as enticing to play as that was to watch
They absolutely do, but that is the whole point of choosing Yasuke, to be fair. Not only is he marketable as a famous and iconic character in a lot of media of the era, but he is also not historically important enough to be tied down by any historic "duties" or events.
The reality is that Yasuke, while a real and documented person that japanese historians agree existed and fought as a samurai for Oda Nobunaga, he was not legendary. He was not some great hero. There are like a dozen references or mentions of him through out several historic documents and that is it. Besides his appearance and position in Nobunaga's court, 99% about Yasuke is rhetorical and supposition.
Which makes him perfect for the role, as he they can have as much creative freedom for his plot as they want. The only real things of note is that he lived there during the Sengoku Jidai, fought for Nobunada and was defeated while defending Nobunaga's son after the betrayal of Nobunaga's general Mitsuhide, who then spared Yasuke's life and sent him to live with jesuit monks in the south of japan.
There was just not much documentation on Yasuke's real life story, so I doubt anyone will be too made about any changes that are made besides the core fundamentals.
they’ve done it so many times in the whole ac series and it hits every time this’ll be good as well
I mean Yasuke's true story, what little we know of it, is pretty depressing. He was basically paraded like a pet as part of Nobunaga's retinue instead of actually being a warrior, at least that's based on one historical account. I like what they are doing with his story though. With how little is actually known about his life, he's the perfect candidate for some cool historical fiction/ fantasy.
@@Skylander404That account was likely tinted with its own agenda. The reality is that Yasuke had a position of a vassal warrior that was consided one of relative trust, even if not a great or prestigious one, especially for an outsider, and when Nobunaga died he actually fought to defend Nobunaga's son, which led to him becoming captive of the traitor Mitsuhide, who banished him to the jesuit temples south of japan to live the rest of his days with the other foreigners.
But yeah, it is impossible to truly know his story at this point with the few mentions there are of him due to his exotic nature in Nobunaga's court.
He is actually mentioned in:
-Letter of Luis Frois (Likely the one with the harsh account you mentioned)
-Shinchōkōki (History of Nobunaga)
-Letter from Lorenzo Mezia (An account far more positive that mentioned how much respect Yasuke had earned in court)
- Matsudaira Ietada's diary (Which mentions Ietada's surprise at Yasuke's skin color, a mention of his name and a mention of Nobunaga paying Yasuke a stipend)
- A second letter from Luis Frois (Yet again, a rather harsh account but he also mentions how Yasuke fought for Nobunaga and also fought for Nobunaga's son after the Lord died)
@@naosou921from historical documents online he was never a samurai though. Lets be honest its the era were slaves were a thing they showed black powder rifles in the cgi trailers America was on its way not yet but still. So yeah with the stuff I read online he was no samurai. Was he in Japan yes its supported more of a parading thing to show people hey its a black man.
Dontai the type of guy to turn a 3 min trailer reaction into a 30 min video.
You do realize this video is about the black samurai, not just the trailer. The title of this video is literally black samurai

I honestly think that dontai has adhd this guy attention span is crazy
Cory needs to come back just for this game 😊
fr bro
yeah he might comeback for this it a easy money too and dip for a month again
The people that made this game said we should get comfortable with never owning a video game again. Google “ Ubisoft Rent ” , go to news , and you’ll find a bunch of articles about that.
it's a ubisoft game in 2024 90% chance it's gonna be bad
No it wont, Assassins Creed Valhalla, Mirage and Origins were all good games, the hate they received is based on the in game purchases and ridiculous skins they would have on display. Some of yall niggas just watch too many youtubers complain about shit and you adopt the mentality. A game that was bad in recent timing is rise of the ronin but i see some people gassing it and giving it the benefit of the doubt.
So you missed Prince of Persia The Lost Crown
Mirage wasn’t bad just really mid in terms of the writing, the set up was cool but then they forgot to write an interesting story about basim. Which is saying a lot coming from a guy who loves origin stories.

Gimmie a live action movie with Idris Elba watch that man COOK
MMMMMMM
Yasuke was about that life bro, he really really spun back for his boys.
There is not a lot we know about Yasuke. He’s more or less a footnote in history who came from somewhere in Africa, may or may not have been a slave, became a retainer of nobunaga with all of the perks that entailed, may or may not have been a samurai, and then disappeared after the death of Nobunaga and nobunaga’s son. If Yasuke wasn’t black we probably wouldn’t have heard about him at all. He stood out in central Japan at the time because of his skin color and his height (he towered over the average Japanese person at the time.
If you want to know more I would suggest looking up Metatron’s video on the subject.
The people saying
“yasuke wasn’t a samurai and was a retainer”
Have the be the most annoying people I have ever interacted with online,
I promise a simple search will tell you they are LOKEY the same shit.
What is a samurai?
“Samurai were the hereditary military nobility and officer caste of medieval and early-modern Japan from the late 12th century until their abolition in the late 1870s during the Meiji era. They were the well-paid *RETAINERS* of the daimyo, the great feudal landholders. They had high prestige and special privileges.”
These people seem like the type to say
“Person X wasn’t a Swordsman he was a fencer”
Like bruh 💀
yasuke was not a samurai. stop believing in google like a milk dud. cope and seeth and dilate

If this was the type of sh*t they were teaching in my history class I would have passed with flying colors.
True, but why would we learn about Japanese history in an American history class 😹. Yk unless it was an elective
Sure, it is cool but there is absolutely nothing to learn from it., especially if you live in a Western society. But there are things to learn from people like Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Martin Luther, Napoleon, and many more as those events have bigger impact on how our society has changed through time.
@@0_morales_0because we learn about pretty much every other aspect of different countries histories that don't impact us, why not him?
I passed history classes of cultures that had nothing to do with mine with flying colours... but I'm just a dork like that.
I say this as a student in Japan. It is true that Yasuke existed in history and served Nobunaga as a vassal, but he is not mentioned in textbooks or taught in classes. It is said that this is because there are few documents about him.
I'm really sad that Chadwick Boseman never got to do that Yasuke movie cuz a lot of y'all woulda been put on
"You ask about Yasuke, who is known to have worked as a retainer of Nobunaga Oda during the Sengoku period in Japan.
The only thing we know about him is that he was probably from the area around present-day Mozambique, and that the Jesuits brought him to Japan from India.
He worked as a missionary escort in Japan, but it is not known in what capacity. There is no conclusive testimony, as he was said to have been a slave or to have been of a certain rank.
Missionaries used many blacks as slaves, but rarely brought them to Kyoto. Since it was very rare to see a dark-skinned person in Kyoto, many people gathered to see him, which is said to have caused some trouble. However, it seems that this did not happen with him, but among the onlookers.
Nobunaga Oda was one of those who took an interest in him. Initially, Nobunaga suspected that his black color was a trick, so he had him wash himself and became more and more interested in him as he learned that it was not artificially colored.
Eventually, he was hired by Nobunaga to be his retainer. According to some accounts, he was not a slave but a true retainer, which would suggest that Nobunaga at least considered him one of his regular retainers.
However, he was a retainer of Nobunaga for approximately one year. In June 1582, a year and two months after he became the talk of Kyoto, Oda Nobunaga was ambushed and killed at Honnoji Temple.
At this time he is captured by his attacker, Mitsuhide Akechi, who orders that he not be killed but turned over to Christian missionaries because he is an animal, and he is transferred to one of the churches that were being built at the time.
It is not clear whether Mitsuhide really thought he was an animal or whether he lied to get him off scot-free, and the truth of these words remains a mystery.
And since going to church, Yasuke's whereabouts have been completely unknown.
Taken together, Yasuke is almost certainly real, but he is a great enigma. We do not know what language he could speak, nor do we know what Oda Nobunaga's other retainers thought of him. This kind of existence is perfect for describing the imagination that historical fiction likes to have about him.
And perhaps you are one of them. In any case, he is a great enigma."
There's some serious anti history weirdos in this comment section, some of them just plain racist, have no clue what happened to my last comment but apparently TH-cam doesn't like truth I guess
It’s weird
I was gonna say it’s worse than twitter but then I thought…yeah nothing is worse than twitter 😂
@@LoopyLemon775 some of the comments literally look like Twitter people came from there to yt in order to spread their nonsense😂
This is probably one of dontai's only videos which doesn't have the word "reacts" in it
I wanna know why they didn’t choose a Japanese man as a main character in a game based in feudal Japan. “It’s too boring” don’t make sense cause they Samurai’s so I’m lost.
You know how many samurai games they got this year and other years when it’s a Japanese main character. So they use a actually historical character wouldn’t be bad
theres nothing wrong with having a black guy who actually a big part of japans history
You know why they didn’t choose a Japanese man🤣
@@XenoVibezz He wasn't a big part of Japan's history lol. This is just for "DiVeRsiTy". Imagine if they made an AC game in Songhai empire of Africa and the protagonist being Filipino.
@@XenoVibezz its more like a fun fact than a key part of Japanese history
Out of nowhere, everyone cares that Yasuke was a Samurai or not, just because Ubisoft wants to do a game about it lol, No one said sht about the anime nor previous games about it.
Yasuke...He was also in NIOH 2,Samurai Warriors,but then the public knowledge awareness was not as huge as today.
There is not a single shred of evidence to support that u liar

Facts, it is an adaptation. If people were truly wanting a traditional Shakespeare play then there would be no women. As during Shakespeare female actors weren't allowed.
Exactly. And it's a play not even a movie. Idk why people are so mad
Cause y'all keep stealing other people stuff instead of making ya own.
@@merchant69420you lack iq
The guy is likely sourcing a romanticized version of history from a popular book. Not much is even known about Yasuke and many of the things he said aren't even recorded or things you can easily assume. He is, however, depicted as a samurai or just a warrior in fictional media even if it's unclear whether he was one or not irl.
He received stipend. At the time only samurai received stipend, literally cannot be any clearer
@@Cy4nMod Except that it could be more clear if it were explicitly mentioned.
Also, it's stupid to say it's settled just because he received a stipend.
What you're referring to is how the specific term is used in comparison to other records, because just a straight up "stipend" can be given to anyone.
But that's still a contentious point being argued by historians.
The historians with the least or no amount of skin in the game just put it up in the air rather than assume anything.
Not to mention that all of Nobunaga's companions had either been given stipends or had them increased.
I know a lot of people wanna just up and say he's a Samurai because the word sounds cool, but it genuinely does not matter, because even if he didn't have the title, he still had a lot of if not all of the shit the samurai were granted.
@@RedCell861real question, why do you care so much about
@@og_szzl6627 Because I like Japanese history and both sides of this argument are really annoying.
@@RedCell861
Honestly kinda based you’re not on either side.
But it’s important to realize it’s a game, of course they are going to throw in some stuff to make it extra spicy and enjoyable and making yasuke this brute samurai warrior seems cool.

This is the only assassins creed game I'm a little excited to play...
This is the one thing i like about assassin’s creed current runs is they understand the two different elements between stealth and combat is more enjoyable when fully fleshed out instead of crammed into one character
Try being stealthy as the only black guy in a room of Asians. Immersion broken completely.

I think you can choose who to pick but if you can't I know for sure you'll be able to play as both and they'll choose
I wanna see dontai play through assassins 1-4 at least I’m begging 😭
He only played Mirage for 2 episodes on his channel and never touch it again (don't blame him it's not good), He def needs to play 1-4.
people are going a bit overboard with this, no AC game has been %100 following reality, they get historic characters and fit them in their story. In history he was a retainer, basically a samurai
It’s just wild that Ubisoft throws the one non Japanese samurai in the game as an easy cash grab. Imo they don’t care about yasuke or his story they care that he’s popular and will make them money
@kane_corleone yeah I totally understand the concern, I haven't played an AC game since odyssey and will wait til is comes out to buy it, but tbh the fact that they chose this character as the MC is what makes me wanna buy the game
@@cristianalfonso7594 I can agree with that I just hope they do it justice because if it’s done right it could be so badass🙏

Yasuke is just optional
Yasuke anime so bad that dontai forgot he reacted to it😭
Here is a true question, How many characters in Assassin's Creed (AC 1 through AC Valhalla) were playable and if any of them were true historical people from the past? The ANSWER is very simple, 15 Playable Fictional Characters and “NONE” of them were true historical people of the past!
All the "playable" characters in AC 1 through AC Valhalla were all fictional characters, Yasuke was a real historical person who was nothing more than a retainer, not a samurai.
Yasuke IS A REAL HISTORICAL BLACK MAN WHO WAS NOTHING BUT A RETAINER FOR Oda Nobunaga! "Real Historical Person," Yasuke was and is but a "Retainer." The other Assassin's Creed characters from Assassin's Creed 1 through Assassin's Creed Valhalla are "Fictional," characters that DO NOT EXIST IN ACTUAL HISTORY. Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad (Fictional Character), Ezio Auditore da Firenze (Fictional Character), Captain Edward James Kenway (Fictional Character), Adéwalé (Fictional Character), Aveline de Grandpré (Fictional Character), Bayek of Siwa (Fictional Character), Alexios and Kassandra (Fictional Characters), Basim Ibn Ishaq (Fictional Character), and others that are not based in our past historical history. That is why I always stated to other people that 80% is Fact because of True History for Assassin's Creed Video Games, then there is the 20% Fiction that has "People", Places, Items, and other things that are in the game, are not in our past history. Yasuke "IS A TRUE HISTORICAL PERSON IN JAPAN," NOT A FICTIONAL CHARACTER, you can say, "fantasy," all you want but we all know that Yasuke is a real black man who was a retainer, not trained to use the katana, he cleaned Nobunaga's Katana's and other weapons that is what a retainer does. Sorry to say in true historical words and more true blunt historical words Yasuke was a retainer meaning he was a servant to Oda Nobunaga. Not my words but in actual dictionary definitions, Retainer is a person attached or owing service to a household especially a: SERVANT or b: EMPLOYEE.
There’s discrepancies in Japanese history about Yasuke and we don’t know he was a retainer or a samurai that was trained. There is basically no actual documentation except for a few stories, but stories can change over time because of different perspectives, different things happening different mindset. Just like for example, that if you say something from a long time ago by word-of-mouth, then someone says it in a different word or words than that word-of-mouth or whatever you said can be different. And we cannot forget about WWII that many things could’ve been lost because of the war, and we may never know from certain items to certain documentations were burnt or been completely annihilated because of the two bombs, but we don’t know. I’m not saying that this can be a true story or not but all we know that he was nothing more than a retainer and that is it. I am sorry to say, but until there is actual more evidence like where is Yasuke Katana sword? Where is it? Does anyone know? Because if you have that sword and it has his name on it and approves that he was a samurai, but in the end, no sword, no proof that he was a samurai.
Both Greed and WOKE is the message and agenda on both UBISOFT and Sweet Baby Inc. and Black Gamer Girls, and DEI Money. There is no story or the Hero's Journey in this game. Assassin's Creed is just now a "Shadow Shell," of itself and an empty husk. You know if only the Baka writer read Japanese History a lot closer than instead of 2 characters to play, there could be only 1 character to play. There was an opportunity they could have used instead of a fictional black samurai character and in real history he was a retainer not a samurai. If only they read Japanese history carefully and throughly they could have made the only one Japanese Female Assassin Character. Combined both true history and fiction, Japanese women at the time did learn to use a particular weapon called, "Naginata," a Polearm weapon with a curved blade at the top. While the katana sword tends to be associated with male samurai of Japan, a distinctive weapon called the naginata has been traditionally associated with women and female fighters known as onna-bugeisha. This could have been the base of a Japanese Assassin's Creed Story, with a Japanese Woman who learned to use the Naginata and eventually learns the way of the Assassin's Brotherhood.
Do you know why they don’t want to make a game based in Africa, especially in Assassin’s Creed well because in actual history, many of the warring tribes enslaved their own kind. In about 90% or even 80% of the black population of today, don’t want to admit that their own kind in Africa, their own ancestors in Africa enslaved their own kind. This is why they don’t want to make any Assassin’s Creed games based in Africa. I know they already did Egypt, but I am talking other African countries or places in Africa other than Egypt like South Africa, Algeria, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, and the other 48 African countries.
to make cinematic trailers, ubsoft is a lion!!! Now to make a good gameplay, it's a mouse.

if they made a movie about him i think Michael Jai White would be a good choice to play Yasuke
All races have played Romeo and Juliet in plays. It’s cuz it’s Tom Holland and a famous British production that this is getting news

Hopefully there’s more than 2 animations for fighting. Ac Valhalla would’ve been great if the combat was just more fleshed out. An Ac3 style samurai game would be hype.

@@Donue do some research bro wasnt even a samurai
yup theres 1 in your reply right now saying do research he wasnt even a samurai when we just watched a documentary about it XD
@@twenty-js1kd the term samurai refers to one who fought in service of their feudal lord so you can't say he was // wasn't. Yasuke was a Kosho which was a term for the highest ranking attendant// bodyguard. He defended Nobunaga on the regular and notably at Honno-ji where Nobunaga was betrayed by Akechi Mitsuhide.
@@ShadowAnimeInk There literally isn't any evidence documenting his rank in any document hes mentioned in.
Also, koshō is NOT a term for the "highest ranking attendant// bodyguard", they're the Japanese equivalent of something like a page for a European knight. Now, his position might sound like something along the lines of koshō; however, key information you missed was that the guy in some documents he was referenced in, mention him almost like a trophy or pet. This doesn't mean that Nobunaga necessarily treated him like that, but could explain why he was always around.
Yasuke was at most a low-ranking retainer which is still pretty good. Theres no evidence that he owned any serious estates but he was part of Nobunaga's court and even fought alongside him. Aside from him being black in feudal Japan, most evidence points to the fact that the guy lived a super typical life for the time period. That why I think most people are kind of shocked that he's in the new AC game.
🔥🔥🔥
It’s crazy this hasn’t had a tv show or movie about this yet?
Dontia not a hater, that’s toxic tai
been a damn min since i watched a dontai vid fr
Yasukes story is very interesting I’m even more excited for The game now 👏 🔥
This is the game if they let you choose im going as the black samurai
I don't think the anime is that trash, only problem is it's not realistic. They got magic and robots and shii but its cool.
They done bought kung fu Kenny to assassins creed
I was so hyped when Yasuke was fighting back that army only for dude to be like SIKE!
When I heard Chadwick was prepping to play Yasuke i immediately got the book the script was gonna be based on. "African Samurai: The True Story of Yasuke, a Legendary Black Warrior in Feudal Japan" by Geoffrey Girard and Thomas Lockley. It's 300+ pages but its so detailed it literally feels like a MOVIE . I really hope AC stays as historically accurate as possible even if Yusuke only has a supportive role in game.
worth the read? I was thinking of getting it
@@jacobnewton9380 def worth the read. All the outrage about Yasuke being in this game seems silly when you understand what his life was like in the 16th century. Mans was basically a slave to the Templars until he met Lord Oda. You can't make this stuff up!

@@jacobnewton9380 enjoy!
@@amani362 yasuke was a retainer not a samurai and only 18 months in Japan. That’s it and there’s not more to it

lol the comment sections on other videos look like actual klan meetings. Like AC games have never been historically accurate, so when someone who was actually a real figure in history happens to be the MC, i dont see the big deal. Edward, connor, and Arno are all complete works of fiction yet people dont have a problem with them. As long as the game is good, thats all that matters
Play Afro samurai there is a anime too
He got the video game already he just never seen the anime yet. He seen the trailer too
he wasnt the first black samurai or even a samurai at all he was a retainer this games for brownie points man
Man just say you mad about a black samurai and get it over with
@twenty-js1kd you can't say he was or wasn't... he was a Kosho and defended Nobunaga. He was a retainer but he also fought. Stop acting like you know what's what
@@ShadowAnimeInk like you do?
Except there are multiple reputable sources notably Britannica and The Smithsonian stating he was...
@twenty-js1kd What? saying he was a Kosho? That shit's documented, unlike the samurai title...so, uh yeah, I'm saying he was a Kosho, but there's stuff backing that, unlike what implying...also I'm going to trust my MA. in Asian Studies, the documents I studied, and the professors who taught me a lot more than some random dude in YT comments who thinks he knows more than them.
So Assassin’s Creed Shadows was (Project Red) and was being developed while Assassin’s Creed Mirage (recent) was being made. There’s another AC game simultaneously being worked on called Project Hexe which is going to take place during the Salem which trials.
Also Assassin’s Creed take actual historical event and revolve the game around that while sprinkling fiction
people get too comfortable bcs you don't do sht anymore. in the 90s, black people used to f them up but the media softened y'all up

I’m starting to think that too, blk people are getting more hate every day. Even in yasuke which is literally based on a real samurai. I’m glad you like the trailer and the story about yasuke
They are making a movie about it coming in like the next 2 years or something
i forgot abt wordfarm adventure lmfaooo
7:20 maybe they just hired the best actress for the job? lol
You didn’t watch after that timestamp where he said the character was blk in Harry Potter play
@@Donuedoesn’t change what I said, usually plays hire the best person for the job because skin color doesn’t matter it’s about the character
@@Shine28was just thinking that. In certain cases he’s right about them injecting diversity everywhere. But as an advocate who was a black actor myself I can definitely say that the bias in the film/art community towards those with Eurocentric features is absolutely insane. So for someone of another decent to have gotten that role, their acting has to be really REALLY good and fit the character REALLY well
@@parasomnia6905 true, but I think people forget how much artists love control over a product, they don’t just hire people because of skin color. They hire based on who makes their vision come true.
@@Shine28 ong what im sayin fr. Black or white if you can act well you get the job. Period. Yeah it may be harder for certain races or ethnicities or genders, but overall if your the better actor, 8/10 you’ll get the job
This needs to be a real life movie
Dontai’s locs looking great
Ubisoft already giving us proof they don't plan on giving a historically accurate Yasuke
I’ve heard from a lot of the cultured folks that he was actually a servant not a samurai. He carried a weapon around but that never justified him being an actual samurai.
That is false. I have no idea who these "culture folk" you are talking about are, but any simple search will show you what actual japanese historians think of the matter.
The problem is that a lot of westerners like to romanticize and idolize samurai as if they were some special kind of legendary warrior. They weren't, not at this time period at least.
There was a time period when Samurai were nobles and to become one you had to be born in the Samurai noble caste or marry into one. But as the Warring Period of Japan heated up and warlords started popping up left and right, many changes and reforms were made. One of them was that the caste of Samurai no longer existed.
But the time of Yasuke, Samurai were merely a warrior caste. All you needed to become one was to be a warrior recognized by a lord and paid a stipend worth your value, receive the permission to carry a weapon in the name of said lord and fight under that lord's banner. Yasuke filled every single criteria according to actual historical documents.
He was a vassal warrior of Nobunaga, paid a stipend for his service and with permission to carry weapons and fight in Nobunaga's name. When Nobunaga died after the betrayal of Mitsuhide, Yasuke fought against the traitors for Nobunaga's son.
Not only was he not servant, he was a warrior who was documented to fight in battles.
However, Yasuke was not a legendary warrior. He was not a great hero and had no great historical significance, no more than any other warrior of that time period at least. He is only remembered and marginally documented in historical records because of his exotic nature, that much is true.
But he did exist and he was not a simple servant, but a samurai by every definition of the word in that time period.
You don't have to take my word for any of this. You shouldn't. Simply look it up yourself instead of believing "culture folks" who are likely not even japanese and have their own agendas for what they say and do.

@@Shockkings0714 A minute or two. You can probably type very fast too.
@@naosou921 It did not take you 1 minute to write that unless you copy and pasted and added a little more information to it
How’s Yasuke gonna blend in with the crowd? Lmao
Just ask the Geisha for some foundation and he good fr
It seems like Naoe will be the stealth focused protagonist while Yasuke will be more straight up. Essentially the same dynamic Jacob and Evie had.
I missed you 😢
28:28 got me rollin bro LMAOOO
"He was just a Retainer!!!!!" He was in the field catching bodies and was having dinner with the head hancho on the regular.
So did 99% of samurai at the time and yet they choose the black guy that wasn't an official samurai as one of the main characters sounds like a bunch of esg sweet baby in bullshit.
@@wkkqewqaver7766 womp womp
@@wkkqewqaver7766 99% of Samurai were having dinners with the head hancho on the regular? Doubt it. And it really shouldn't matter whether or not his title was "official". He dawned armor and saw combat more than once. I don't get what's so difficult about seeing the appeal in wanting to make a character like Yasuke have a place in the AC story.
@@kareemdavis4068 because the intention of his placement in this game is not pure it's corrupted by modern politics, they could've done a 1000 ac games in Africa starring black people or America but they choose Japan.
What’s funny is retainers were a class in the samurai hierarchy so they’re literally just admitting that he was in fact a samurai. Thats how you know people are just regurgitating other people’s bullshit based on nothing and now it’s getting worse with people saying he was just a pet.
7:09 anyone who's upset about her being black already didn't like black people to begin with
Good cope, next up a white guy plays Black Panther. Black people have to shut up if that happens.
@@MrHammerman97 are you dumb? juliet is not an exclusively white character and a simple google search would've told you it's a modernized version of the play. having a white person play black panther literally just does not make sense since it takes place in africa. stop using excuses for your racism
Yasuke wasn't a samurai he was a retainer
Yes and they changed it lol who gaf
no one cares
Yasuke never was a samurai he was a retainer/servant

You guys think this is a dunk but it makes you look slow.

Thank you
@@Cy4nMod he was a Court jester look up the true history y'all are so brainwashed
@@LoopyLemon775 no tf they aren't look up the true history the emperor was extremely racist and prejudice towards yasuke but y'all are too brainwashed and echoe chambered to understand
bro, was reading an article of gizmodo?
Yasuke anime was coo whole time 🤷🏽♂️💫
all of a sudden everyone cares about historical accuracy in assassins creed games 😭
i don't know what this means i just saw it got a lot of likes on twitter
I mean I could understand if it was a Historical piece but this is ASSASSin's creed
@@RetreatSequel the original point being made is that ppl don't like that there's a black samurai
@@zaail3norsumidk
Personally IDC because this is a video game AND Yasuke was a real samurai at least based on what i've seen.
But, I can see why people are getting annoyed with the general forced push for Diversity e.g. that cringey 360 they did during Endgame. Dontai hit the nail on the head, it feels like execs are doing this to make people hate eachother. Diversity can be done well but only if writers put THE STORY FIRST like with stories like Arcane.
@@RetreatSequel i don't really FULLY understand the "forced diversity" thing. i understand seeing the intention of the creators every now and then but i don't see it as often as everyone else does. race swaps can technically count as that so yeah, otherwise i agree with you.
as for that "cringe 360 in Endgame" i have no clue what you mean. unless you mean the girl power moment which ill admit was really badly written and didn't make any sense, a good example of being able to see the intent of the writers. whereas a girl power moment like "girls get it done" in The Boys is written more obvious but it stems from a more childish and innocent place so it's able to work, or the first girl power scene in Infinity War which seems a lot more realistic and natural and enjoyable.
So many triggered people mad in the comments over this
It’s so funny that the yasuke anime was so bad ppl keep forgetting it exists
I’m gonna play this game despite the controversy and I’m gonna enjoy playing as yasuke but let’s be honest they could have used a Japanese dude that was a ninja and did a DLC about yasuke
We have ghost of Tsushima for that, why do we need another?
Nah Yasuke is badass. I’m glad he’s a MC
aint no gonna talk about the video about Yasuke using dog shit ai art?
still better than ubitrash tbh
@@RonhozZ no actually sure ubi lies about gameplay but ai art trash is not better 💀
Im not really complaining , just curious. What happened to the intros?
Dontai should react to all ac trailers the way he did star wars
Why is bro in Japan this makes no sense 💀
you do know Yasuke is a real person right?
He was brought there as a slave, actually do research instead of being slow Af
I hope dontai plays assassin's creed
@ReggiePhilips W Drop, SM2 better.
I love games based in the china, i hope this gone be fire
Alr waiting for the movie now
Why are all these comments talking about Cory?
I’m not sure. It’s so random
Black samurai most likely reminds them of him lmao, I don't watch bro but his audience is funny
@@shaqkage lol at this point I think they're trying to summon him
