lol historically real in the same way that Gladiator was about a historically real Emperor Commodus. All we have about this is that a guy came as a slave, interested the Japanese enough that he was given status for a while, and then wound up being sent back to be a slave once that lord died. If he was an actual Samurai, it seems odd that he was given back to the Jesuits rather than told to commit seppuku or simply becoming ronin.

It's a fictional game genius, who cares? Do you think Rodrigo Borgia was a real Templar who fought one on one against an Assassin in a Roman cathedral? Do you think Connor was a real Indian who rode around with Paul Revere? What it really comes down to is this is low key racist push back against putting minorities into prominent roles. Even if Yasuke (not Yosake) wasn't a true Samurai, it makes no difference in a fictional re-telling of his story from a video game franchise that puts historical figures into roles they likely didn't play in real life. I suppose Leonardo Da Vinci really invented weapons for the Assassins, right, or did every other re-telling give you the same pause as Yasuke did, over the years?

AC shadows having a black main character is obviously pandering, and pretending it's not is just ridiculous. I've had this conversation with plenty of people so far and none can balance their support for shadow with how they would react if ubisoft decided to choose a white samurai instead. Wokeness is a thing in modern media and pretending it doesn't exist and throwing insults when someone points it out is just as shallow as AC shadows diversity.

The hyper fixation is artificial, over the top and is probably making certain content creators rich. A white samurai was chosen in Nioh and no one made a stink because it was not a popular culture war signifier. This hyper fixation extends to so much more than just AC shadows black character. A new one I just noticed it extends to is Denzel Washingtons character in Gladiators 2 (who plays a arms dealer..?) It extended to people like youtube 'Synthetic Man' calling the Fallout tv series woke garbage after 1 ep because of "forced raced mixing" his exact words. Probably thinking it would flop just like Amazon's Lord of the Ring series but instead, it exposed his bias and grift. Its mostly nonsense that may have started at one time from a place intellectual honesty, but its long past that. So keep beating that drum if you must but peoples tolerance to hearing the constant over the top whining that at times crosses over to pure bigotry will eventually reach a tipping point.

@@zorgivanov8685 Assassins Creed Black Flag took place in the Caribbean Sea and the main character was a Welshman. The 3 major cities in the game were Havana in CUBA, Nassau in the BAHAMAS, and Kingston in JAMAICA. Does the Welsh have anything to do with area and time period? The answer is no. So drop the selective outrage. You know complaining about white characters is not in vogue, stop lying.

judging by your dislike ratio, I'm guessing even his own audience doesn't agree with this guy. And I'll guess that he'll never take the time to understand why either, since just calling them bigots or "A CERTAIN GROUP OF GAMERS" is easier for him than doing some research instead.

Main issue is that it's historically inaccurate for the sake of pushing real-world political agendas. People spot political agendas from miles, and it's very visible from Ubisoft (and among other companies like Netflix). Ubisoft has been having issues in regards to story telling for quite a while, but it seems like people seem to enjoy their gameplay regardless so the game is definitely going to be good. Just "OOC"ily politically themed instead of being historically inspired.

"A historically real, black samurai" - He is mentioned so little in the sources that we don't know much about the man, it's not clear whether he was or wasn't a samurai. Even his Wikipedia entry doesn't say he was a samurai. In addition to that Assassin's Creed always had fictional protagonists, It's quite clear that Ubisoft wanted a black protagonist in the game for the sake of intersectionality and diversity and Yasuke was the better option so that it won't be as obvious. Believing everything you hear without doing your due diligence to verify the validity of the claims is negligent, unprofessional and reckless considering the risk of spreading misinformation.
@TheRighteousFist

Why are you lying the comments like you won't get immediately fact checked? Actually, his Wikipedia entry DOES say he was a Samurai. The first line literally says, and I QUOTE from an adjacent tab: "Yasuke (Japanese: 弥助 / 弥介, Japanese pronunciation: [jasɯ̥ke]) was a man of African origin who served as a samurai to the Japanese daimyō Oda Nobunaga for a period of 15 months between 1581 and 1582, during the Sengoku period, until Nobunaga's death in the Honnō-ji Incident." That's not to say you should believe everything you read on the internet, and while acknowledging that anyone can edit Wikipedia, it just makes no sense that you would make that statement so boldly when you know good and well someone is going to come along and check.

I don't disagree with Ubisoft using Yasuke as a samurai because there was no conclusive proof that he wasn't one but there also wasn't proof that he was so I hope you understand that when you say "features a historically real black samurai" you are putting yourself in the complete opposite camp instead of looking at it holistically and doing slightly more research. Still, I'm just gonna enjoy the game as is since AC games were always alternate history for me.

@bennyjgrkman Historian consensus is not fact. I gave you a quote based on the current fact that confirmed we do not know whether he was or was not samurai. In comparison, I can tell you that William Adams, an English man, was in fact a samurai because there are legitimate historical records of this. Historians can say whatever they want but unless they have the proof then it should never be taken as fact.

@bennyjgrkman Again, we may work on general consensus but it isn't factual. If they had made Yasuke not samurai, I would still feel the same because there's no one to definitively prove he wasn't samurai either. I can only agree with you that he existed and that AC games take creative liberties to create alternate histories which is completely up my alley.
