I am Japanese. UBI appears to be displaying the suord of manga ONE PIECE character Roronoa Zoro as Yasuke's sword at the Japan Expo. It was also discovered that one of the people who frequently rewrote on foreign Wikipedia that Yasuke was a samurai, "Tottori Tom", may be the author himself, Thomas Lockley.
I am Japanese. Currently, there are over 80,000 signatures to halt sales. Members of parliament have raised this issue with various government ministries. I think this will become at least somewhat of an international issue. It will probably take a while, but I think we will have more information once we hear back from the government ministries. I appreciate your interest in this issue and for making the video.
Im not japanese, but ive consumed hundreads of manga, anime, visual novels and video games from overseas. I know im not the only one, were with you brothers! This kind of stuffs been permeating our entertainment for years and its time to put a stop to this! I cant wait for the day where I can enjoy my videogames and other media without having to doubt the intentions behind the characters or choices in the story.
They even hide it the petition, as you have to specify search for it. As just typing petition to cancel Assassin's Creed Shadow is not showing the petition.
Newsflash, in Gunshi Kanbei (Japanese historical drama) , Yasuke only appeared in one episode and in two scenes, his presentation to Nobunaga and him serving as a kosho (page) to Nobunaga during the presentation of Azuchi Castle. He was never seen after that, even in the same episode when Nobunaga was meeting with his generals. Ghost of Tsushima was also criticized for anachronisms with regards to the katana and Sengoku period armor but unlike Ubisoft who called their critics names, Sucker Punch responded with civility and explained their choices. Hence, the latter is liked by the Japanese and AC Shadows is heavily criticized.
I think so. I think it was only about 20 years ago that it was generally recognized in Japan. In the Kansai region like Osaka, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is still respected and dramas and movies are made about him. In that vein, Nobunaga, who originally discovered Hideyoshi, was mentioned many times, but on variety shows, as Nobunaga's maverick episode, I remember that "Yasuke" was emphasized for a moment in a variety show. Nobunaga was also popular and the subject of many creative works in movies and dramas in the 1980s, but I have never seen Yasuke. Mostly, I have only seen episodes in which Ranmaru Mori was by Nobunaga's side until the end. They were fiction, too, and some of them were silly with science fiction elements, but there were no crazy people who wanted to make them factual and authentic history. There is a Shiba historical view that wants to make old novels into official history. The content glorifies Sakamoto Ryoma, glorifies Western influences, and denies the pre-Edo period. However, this is a view of history that is ridiculed by serious history buffs.
ac shadows is just a ripoff of tsushima anyway, especially the whole stealth vs samurai approach. samurais historically would do ninja jobs if required as well (its literally just an assassination or espionage assignment) so there was no inner conflict as shown in tsushima
Sorry another quick update. People found out in Wikipedia note that shows Thomas Lockley, author of “Yasuke: True Story” changed Yasuke’s page to fit his own theories since 2015, a year before he first published his work. He rewrote multiple times thought years. He seems gaining his popularity because of this fabrication. Then he published a book “ Yasuke : True Story” in 2019. It seems this man fabricate historical facts to get his own profits, leads all of us in chaos.
He is very ignorant and just wants to see woke bs. If he cant it doesnt matter. He openly stated how uneducated he is and cold on the disrespect on Japan and Yasuke. He cant see the bigger picture and doesn't care 2. All he sees is Japan is racist without any educational awareness or intelligence. Without even talking with Japan why they are doing this and just assuming a childish stamp of Racist over the nation.
In Egypt they sued bc the show was meant to be historical accurate with AC Shadows it’s Historical (Fiction) Like every other AC game why would they randomly all of a sudden make Shadows a Historical accurate game 🤦🏻♂️ people just want to hate on it to hate and for views
@SSMORENO but why this woman said its based on historical fact?😂ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0haRi_hHZoU.htmlsi=5b3XlY_rQyOy43tK Also, Ubisoft even committing plagiarism, steal and use content without permission (Nijo castle paintings WHEN the place even PROHIBITED taking picture in the first place?) We don't hate for views, we hate criminals and liars
@@SSFX111 then why not a fictional character like they always do instead of using a historical character and try to change his history, you and your people are so braindead, even the youtuber that got sponsored by ubishi-t say you could play "LEGENDARY SAMURAI" when he is not even a samurai, and the sources ubishi-t got about history is from someone who make a novel about a buddhist monk make love with young boys.
日本の事で目が潤むほど感情的になってくれてありがとう 私は黒人が物語になった日本の昔話は聞いた事が無い、、小説を日本以外で史実だと言い張っているトーマス・ロックリーが話している、「七福神」に含まれる大黒天（マハーカーラ）もアフリカ系黒人の事ではない。インド神話におけるカーリー（戦神）とシヴァ（破壊再生神）の夫婦神が神道や日本仏教である密教の中で変質したモノだ。 インド神話におけるカーリーは「黒」や「時間」を示す「カーラー」から来ているとされています。なので大黒天はインド系の有色人種でしょう。 日本の文化は海に囲まれている事もあり、すべてを煮詰めるように進化しています。一つを調べると余りにも細かく意味が付けられており、他文化との多くの繋がりが見つかるのもそのせいです。 他国の文化を表面を撫でる程度しか理解できなくとも敬意があれば大事に触れる事は出来るでしょう、しかしUBIは私たちの玉袋を蹴り上げてこう言いました、、it's a joke 「歴史的事実に基づいた」と言っている口で「それはフィクションです」と言って逃げるのはKicked in the nutsをしている悪ガキのようです。 このお爺さんが嘆願書が卑怯なやり方だと非難する時に、WWⅡの真珠湾の軍港への奇襲攻撃の事を日本を堕とす為に出すなら、東京大空襲や広島・長崎への核爆弾の投下をアメリカのやった民間人を狙った攻撃として出しても否定しないのでしょう 失礼、ここでする議論では無かったですね
Np i am glad to defend Japan because this is just wrong and cold in so many ways. I cannot stand by and watch. That's what i was saying. It was a wrong statement and out of place..
Love again that it keeps getting stating from Japan. It is important for ignorant people to see who lack education and ignore the nation where the history is from and call u racist. It's such a empty statement and only said bc they dont have anything else to say while providing nothing intelligent.
Yasuke was a personal black slave that Nobunaga bought (or received) from a Portuguese missionary, not a samurai. This will be on the test, so review it over and over again.
Your using (OR) everything your saying is fake he wasn’t a slave with the Jesuits at first to begin with he was a skilled warrior already hired as a body guard the jesuits are Christians they legally in Gods name can’t have slaves 🤦🏻♂️
Oh, he probably does have experience with racism for all his life. But as the racist, not as the victim of racism. And he deluded himself into believing that he was the victim.
@987married All I'm saying is that he's so obsessed with the idea of being a victim of racism that he doesn't realise he himself is being racist... And that playing the victim card has commonly been done by people who haven't actually been the victim of something serious themselves.
@@leurunner4764 for one you don’t know his life. You obviously don’t know what it’s like coming up in this country as a black man, so your hurt filled response is rejected. You’re downplaying the racism shown just so you can feel you have some sort of moral high ground when in reality you’re upset about a black person being in a video game. Your comment shows your lack of comprehension, social awareness, and overall low intelligence. Genuinely do better idc if you play the game or not it’s gonna be mid anyways. But don’t fall into this small brained way of thinking.
We Japanese want to protect Japanese history, culture, and the dignity of Yasuke from revisionists. If he was enjoyed as fiction or fantasy, Japanese people would not have said anything. Ubi's Copy-paste art that ignores copyrights would be problematic, but...If there was a Japanese person who said that it was historical fact, his family would take him to a mental hospital. He came to Japan as a slave and carried Nobunaga's luggage, but he is a historical figure recorded in Japanese history. However, historical revisionists persistently spread false information as historical fact and try to make him a fraud. Yasuke and Japanese history and culture are not the playthings of historical revisionists! The ones who do this are racists against Asians, including Japanese people, and black people, including Yasuke. Nobunaga is still popular in Japan, so there is a memorial monument and he is cherished like other Japanese warlords. In the same way, many Japanese want to cherish Yasuke and his history. and, Ubi has not apologized to its overseas customers. That was only for the Japanese Tourist Volunteer Rifle Corps. Ubi's unauthorized use of copyrighted images is not limited to that, but has committed more serious violations. The most recent case was the discovery that the artist had partially altered and used a painting of a national important cultural property. This is managed by a national ministry, and unauthorized use could be a crime. It appears that this case of falsification of Japanese history and cultural appropriation by Ubi and its supporters is beginning to be treated as a crime. It is said that an investigation has already been started by a Japanese member of parliament to confirm this. Also, there are too many kindergarteners editing Wiki to make Yasuke's delusions into historical fact. There are Yasuke anime and novels, but they are fiction based on Yasuke, and in Japanese history Yasuke was Nobunaga's baggage carrier. Falsifying Yasuke's history is like assaulting him, and falsifying Wiki is the same as broadcasting it to the world. The Japanese would never forgive that.
Love it. Thank you for taking your time to share something intelligent with facts from Japan. More people need to talk with Japan and not people outside of Japan unless they are very educated. Its just best to hear Japan from a heart to heart and not be ignorant.
@@AscendedGaming777 Thanks comment. The persistent historical revisionism on Wiki looked to me like a group assault on an individual. It is something that cannot be tolerated by any human being. The abnormality of these historical revisionists shocked me as a Japanese person. It still makes me sick. If you feel the same way, then this comment was meaningful. Thank you.
But it is Historical fiction they said it is every AC game is Historical fiction why would they change it to be historical accurate all of a sudden it’s literally HISTORICAL FICTION 🤦🏻♂️
@@SSFX111 I said that there's no problem if you portray fiction as fiction, right? The problem is that this game has content that pleases historical revisionists, and has a quality that makes Japanese people feel unconscious racism by white people against people of color (blacks and Asians), and copyright infringement of images and other things continues to be discovered. Diet members have launched an investigation into the unauthorized use of important national cultural properties, but now it has been discovered that designs have been stolen from Japanese anime. "Does Ubi want to go bankrupt in a lawsuit?" There are so many points to point out that Japanese people are confused. Right now in Japan, there is a lot of excitement about how many lawsuits Ubi will be sued for. I thought it was a crime to buy something that was stolen, but was I wrong?
I have satellite tv and thus can enjoy NHK tv programs. Thus far NHK World News has yet to mention this, but it’s only a matter of time before Japanese news media picks up on this. Awaiting the day it happens so the world (and Japanese gamers) can blast proof into ubi’s faces.
Thank you for sharing. I know you are and that is why i take this very seriously and step in. It is better to stand together against wrong and not be deceived.
@@AscendedGaming777 Please do not be deceived by the Japanese mass media, especially the major mass media, as much of the information they disseminate to foreign countries is negative about Japan. In the past, the Asahi Shimbun has made headlines by writing an editorial that "Japanese people have become corrupt" using images of damaged coral reefs that were damaged by an Asahi Shimbun cameraman himself in order to criticize the Japanese people. At that time, Asahi Shimbun responded in a rude, UBI-like manner, and the Japanese people still remember it. In Japan, "朝日新聞珊瑚記事捏造事件（Asahi Shimbun Coral Article Fabrication Incident）" These guys from such newspapers have teamed up with Google to form a fact-checking organization in Japan. For some reason, they have stated that they do not fact-check old media.
I'm sure he would believe anything on Wikipedia without question and would be completely unwilling to take the time to research it.He is obviously a confident man, but what he said shows his ignorance and severe cognitive bias.
It's wild how confident and rude he is in his grand confident delusion and lack of education from where the real historical documents exist. 100% can tell he doesn't care to even see what Japan has to say and wants it to fit his deluded thought system. He is completely polarized on all ends and doesn't care to see anything else but what his ego wants to project..
@@AscendedGaming777 There is a saying: "The more ignorant a person is, the more confident he is." This is the Dunning-Kruger effect. So I have to remind myself to be humble all the time. Sometimes I myself have cognitive biases, so I often reflect for a long time afterwards.
I don’t know where I can start . That guy is so ignorant and I feel so bad for him. When he brought racist, I thought he had been struggling to fight against racism so much. But he must understand that we, Japanese who are currently living in the US, also are struggling with it. Black peoples are not only races getting racial profiling. Living in the US long enough, can you imagine how many time I got pull over without doing anything wrong? All I can defend myself is keeping my driving record clean, so cop can let me go. Sometimes other people have been bothering me out of blue, saying racial comments on me. But guess what, most of them are black because some reason they think we don’t talk back. Right after lockdown, there were incidents Japanese are beaten by other races in the street and most of them were black. Did we bring up haterism against black communities? No. Because race is nothing to do with it. Bad guys are bad regardless any races. So it’s the same thing applying here. We don’t care main character in this game is black or Japanese not. Japan create so many manga, anime and games. Fate, for example, King Arthur is a female “Saber .” Other anime, Nobunaga was a girl. But these are all fiction. Most of them even show disclaimer saying “This is a fiction…..” The problem of UBI was they claimed “Story of Yasuke is historical facts” in the beginning. Why this guy doesn’t mention where this mess coming from? Why he brought his own narrative and attacking us? Did he follow this mess with timeline? How UBI and IGN change their narrative days goes by?
Good point and i am sorry to hear that. Yes i cannot stand it either. It is quite clear the last 30 years Japan has done so much for other countries development/Program wise and is loved by many and use lots of characters not Japanese better than their own and show nothing but love and was done wrong a lot. This is why i cant stand this nonsense and will defend those done wrong and showed nothing but love. Some ppl mask their racism with inferiority complexity too and i have to call it out. Japan is one of the brightest places on Earth. Look at vacation spots visited. It's always top 5. Look at video game development metrics. It speaks for itself. Speaking facts here. They make many worlds for ppl to have fun in together.
Regarding the topic of UBI plagiarizing cultural properties, this is not confirmed information yet. The owner is currently being contacted. More information will come as time goes on.
UBI has also come under fire for its previous film, Assassin's Creed Valhalla. They lied about unwanted restrictions by the Japanese regulatory body CERO. CERO, which does not usually send out messages on social networking sites, immediately denied it and said that they had also passed the review. UBI then said they would investigate the matter and lied again, saying that the bleeding was removed due to a bug. UBI piles on lies that even a 5 year old wouldn't tell. The days of silence after UBI lied and was immediately denied, by CERO, were hilarious and laughable. It should be against the rules to submit for review something that was not originally regulated and release something else, but the Japanese organization, perhaps naive to foreigners, did not pursue the issue, and after UBI made childish excuses, they shut their mouths.
AC Liberation, AC Freedom Cry (AC4 dlc), AC 3, AC Origins ... Why the "racist gamers" didn't complain abot those games choice of protagonist? Don't get me wrong there was criticism about the dept of the characters or the quality of the games, but never "why is X character not white". Imagine how bad you must have lost the plot, for the gamers (people that will buy and play the biggest dogshit game and still give it 5/10) to call you out. AC Liberation was made by Ubisoft side studio in my country and was severely underfunded and they still managed to give historical accuracy to a project set on the other side of the world. If Ubisoft wanted a black protagonist in Japan, just write an original one, why they had to make an precedent of having nonfictional protagonist? Because they want to get that DEI paychecks BUT want to avoid the stigma of being a DEI project.
That guy in the video he is Mr. ignorance and blasphemy because yasuke in nioh it’s all about fighting Yokai monster and zombie. It’s a pure fictional storytelling
Arguing with people like him is like playing chess with a pigeon. He s**** on the board, knocks over the pieces and then flies away as if he had won the game.
Red flags in Assassins Creed Shadows: 1. Using an historical person as a main character. 2. Using a main character not from the culture and region. 3. Use of Chinese building structure in Feudal Japan. 4. Ubisoft stealing a flag for the army. 5. Hip hop music playing when Yasuke fights. 6. Ubisoft working with Sweet Baby Inc AGAIN. 7. Yasuke not acting like a Samurai in battle. 8. Yasuke being treated as a God when everyone is just bowing to him. 9. Ubisoft being involved with the edits around Yasuke on Wikipedia. 10. Ubisoft using Chinese Mandarin in the Kanji in a game set in Feudal Japan. 11. The pushing of LGBT stuff into the game (which also makes no sense in the realm of the animus). 12. Ubisoft working with a writer who main "prominent" work is about monks being in relationships with young boys. Also the double standards media has to glorify Yasuke killing a bunch of Japanese people yet these same people attacked the likes of RE5. The double standards also continue with the people praising this game, a game that doesn't pay 100% correct tribute to Japan, were the ones attacking Ghost Of Tsushima, which did try to be as accurate as possible, simply because it was made an entirely European team. Those devs did their research. Ubisoft did not.
As a Japanese person, I offer my utmost praise and unchanging respect. I feel like I'm causing you unnecessary pain and my heart hurts. If you don't feel well at all, please take a break. Thank you very much for your support. May God and people bless you.
I am Japanese,Thank you for your video. UBISoft should have publicized that this story is fiction and our fantasy like him. Furthermore, they gave the KANABOU(metal club) to YASUKE, they called the Black Samurai. The KANABOU is the most popular weapon for ONI. The word ONI also means not Human.(or out of Human) I think this is disrespectful to YASUKE and black peaple.
I've spoken to a few Japanese about this in other comment sections. They are saying the same thing and nicely "please tell our history honestly". That's all they want, I'm a huge fan of anime and gunpla and I agree. It's their history not and this is racist to the Japanese. They are very open to media many of them love the fact that I a white man love Gunpla! I even go out of the way to translate my blueprints.
@@987married so your calling Japanese people are bots? Wow, just wow that's beyond racist pal. They have a strong work ethic but that's robotic to you!? Sick... You're sick and you need help.
That’s why you have to verify and be doubly sure that the sources your using or people you talk to is real. Otherwise you run off with bad info which can cause plenty of confusion and misplaced criticism.
Thanks for covering this. From the Japanese. There are mobs who mock JPs, saying that AC franchise are fiction and therefore dont need to be historically accurate, so that this kind of criticism is off the mark. They are shifting the point. Of course, ACS is also fiction, but Ubisoft has made the "history" part of their "fiction based on history" different from descriptions that can be confirmed from historical documents. And theyre helping to spread this weird view of history to the world. Thats why we JPs are angry and say "Dont lie about history." Although now the issues have expanded to include cultural appropriation and the exclusion of JPs
新しい動画をありがとうございます。 By the way, please forgive me for making ill-mannered comments now. Nobunaga is not Chinese and Pearl Harbor is an American bay. He says "Trust me" and the only element to be believed is that this man has no proper education. Oops, excuse me, does this go into racism?
Thank you for supporting Japan. I respect you for daring to watch and try to understand nonsense videos. I won't go to his channel because I don't want to increase his views that you featured (lol), but I was interested to see this video and that he didn't question why ACS doesn't use the race of the country in which the vgameis set, unlike the past game in the series. A fan would wonder why ACS doesn't use the "race" (fictional character) of the country in which it is set, as it has done in the past. And it would be natural to feel sympathy for the Japanese who were not made the main character even though it was set in their own country. As far as I can see, he does not mention it. *As you know, there may be Japanese gamers who are disappointed that the main character is not Japanese, but they are not upset that the main character is black. The people signing the petition are not angry about the race of the protagonist, they are angry about Ubi's statement that ACS is faithful to historical fact and the insult to Japan that comes with it. People like him do not even try to read the reason for the signature properly. And also they treating Japanese people like invisible. I think that called racism isn't it? I hope they soon realize that they are being used as a shield to the arrogance of WOKE whites. Deepel Translation
Its not about people hate black people as main character. It just these dev so obvious woke. Try swap change barrett to white man, black panther to asian. Or make a new game base on african king but asian. See which one people will fight for.
I have been arguing this point for over a week and will stand by it despite being attacked by the “woke” community. In my opinion not only should the Asian community be upset but so too should the black and LGBTQ communities be as well. Ubisoft is using these demographics to exploit for sales and as a shield when they are called out on their behavior. The fact that they feel the need to make both characters gay in Feudal Japan shows it was shoved in there for “inclusivity” not reality. They used Yasuke solely because he was black, not because he was an accomplished historical figure. They gave him a hip hop beat in the game that is associated with African Americans. Yasuke is African. Ubisoft sees all black people as being the same. They also see all Asians as the same, proof is using Chinese Kanji in a Japanese trailer. They couldn’t be bothered to hire actual researches, messed up culture, beliefs, and even daily manners of Japanese people while claiming to be historically accurate. Ubisoft has done nothing but be disrespectful and I am happy that Japan is standing up for their culture and heritage.
Man do i love seeing smart facts here rather than just empty name calling as racist against the wrong people. Good job. Respect. Yup. They also want to target sheep and horde mentalities. They dont want us to be involved and step in i assure you.
I agree. If Japan ends up being ravaged by this, other countries that are not compatible with WOKE forces will be subjected to the same harassment. That destination could be South America or even Africa. Certainly, the U.S. and France will also be more badly ravaged.
All I need to know is Japan isn't happy about it. If the 1 group who should be best represented by this game feels insulted by it, thats reason enough not to buy it in my book. Also, they've already had 2 black ac protagonists: in ac liberation and ac4 dlc freedom cry.
what baffles me is the fact that defenders look at yasuke's character model and have the gall to call anyone who doesn't want him in the game racist, LOOK AT THE GUY!!! IF ANYONE IS BEING RACIST HERE IS UBISOFT AND IT'S DEFENDERS!!! so hypocritical, his character design has to be the most stereotypically racist design ever, oh he's a black man with long hair so dreadlocks are a must, uuuum, so yeah dreadlocks do have some traces to african cultures HOWEVER "white" civilizations have them too and they were not the norm for african slaves, I recall someone defending this saying oh maybe because long hair in japan was considered manly for a samurai they wanted to implement that to yasuke, that makes it worse!!! they're literally saying the only way for a black man to have long hair is to have dreadlocks, cherry on top, there's only 2 known paintings of yasuke (one of them is even debated) and he's depicted to have short hair almost shaven, so they're not using his historically accurate look right, this character is pure fiction.
Thank you for making a video about this issue. Akechi Mitsuhide is a great figure in Japan. He rebelled against his lord, Oda Nobunaga, and even Japanese people have an image of him as a traitor, but in Fukuchiyama, where this game is set, he ruled well during that time and was loved by the people. If you think about it, this is only natural, because if he ruled badly, he would be pushed out of his position by other capable vassals of Oda Nobunaga. Looking at the PV for the game in question, Yasuke is massacring people in front of the people of Fukuchiyama, who he should be protecting as a samurai, in a place probably far from the battlefield. If Yasuke had actually caused such a problem, he would have been sentenced to death along with Akechi Mitsuhide. Of course, beheadings were not common in this era. Cutting off the head of a low-ranking samurai would not have been considered a military feat. Yasuke himself is only recorded as participating in the Honnoji Incident, but even though he was captured by Mitsuhide, he was not killed because he was not worth killing. That is what I mean. In this era, samurai does not mean the same as warrior. A samurai was the top of warriors, and if he was captured in a losing battle, he would be the first to be killed. The term samurai = warrior came to be much later than this era. So, as you may know, Yasuke, who UBI deceived, is a great samurai, but that is fiction. It is unclear whether he was actually a warrior or not. In the past, IGN criticized Resident Evil 5, which is set in a fictional African land, as discriminatory and opposed the remake. Has IGN raised any issues about Yasuke's massacre in this work or the developer's statement that beheadings were common in this era? I am Japanese and cannot read English sentences, so even if such articles were published, I would not be able to read them, but if they are not, it would be very strange. I can't read or write English so I had to rely on Google Translate.
That's ok that's why we have Auto-Translate and can understand each other bc of it. IGN is not the same as it use to be either. I agree with what u are saying and it makes total sense. I played a lot of Dynasty Warriors and beat Nioh. Tons of Lore exist for people to see right here and read online if they want to be educated and realize how this is wrong. Lot of people need to listen to what Japanese have to say and not just call them racist without any education and knowledge from Japan. The history is there not anywhere else unless it was given. I want to hear as much as possible from Japan and not from ones doing wrong pushing a agenda for marketing and profit. I also do not want to hear from people like this man who just wants to defend a political agenda and not see the truth and victimization...
@@AscendedGaming777 Yasuke, who was introduced by UBI as a great samurai, is acting in a way that tarnishes Mitsuhide's reputation, even if it's just a game presentation, and the local people of Fukuchiyama are actually saddened. Judging from Mitsuhide's power and governing power at the time, it was not a place where Yasuke could be violent. Even among Japanese people, Mitsuhide Akechi tends to be portrayed in a bad light, but I think it would be inappropriate to describe him as a work of fiction, even if it was based on historical research of that era. Making Yasuke the main character because he was a great samurai is not a reason at all from a Japanese perspective, and in the end it can only be seen as an expedient for commercial use.
Just wait until they find out that Yasuke was working for Oda Nobunaga who was a ruthless tyrant. Yeah, he made some big contributions to Japanese history but he wasn’t really a good guy. It’s also funny that they’re combining things from different seasons like planting rice when the Sakura are blooming. They also put in things that shouldn’t exist at that time.
That dude should know that what goes around comes around. If Ubisoft is able to do this to Yasuke and then tell you its accurate history, he should also be happy to support Ubisoft if they make an AC game during American slavery times and how fun it was for Africans during those times. I mean it's just a game and fiction according to his logic.
I sincerely appreciate your approach to this issue. In this Japanese children's folk tale (Peach-boy), the demon red boss carries a club. ↓↓↓ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QSRaaVIxR7E.htmlsi=SNKjXJfZ6zzt8lSQ Based on folk tales such as Momotaro, there is no doubt that when all Japanese people see a club, we imagine a ONI (villain like demon). Especially for Japanese children, a club is a weapon associated with a villain. It is uncomfortable for Japanese people to see Yasuke like a ONI brandishing a club-like weapon not normally used by Japanese samurai and crushing the head of us. UBI's depiction of Yasuke in this way is an insult to both Japanese and black Yasuke. I'm really scared of the racism that people at UBi, IGN, and SB are doing with their smiling faces.
Wow! That guy is completely ret… in his comments, the only argument he could come up with, was how “iT’s FiCtIoN”, even as everyone was telling him that Ubisoft is advertising it as historically and culturally accurate, even as they couldn’t even get the language and architecture right.
If the game doesn’t get canceled, (it won’t)next step will probably be to make a new AC game reusing the Shadows assets, and bring in actual Japanese consultants. This franchise does love to reuse engines and assets. Look at Black Flag and Rogue.
Quick note: 1. Don’t be surprised if the game might have sexual contents of Yasuke and Nobunaga because lord bring male servant to the battlefield for sex because they don’t want female in there. It is common practice at that time. Those servants were usually given surname as samurais. 2. Yasuke might be nickname. Suke means a boy or guy. Ya might be where he came from. Ya, yau, or You could be the name of region in the Mozambique at that time. Another words, Yasuke might be given name by Nobunaga. It’s highly possible. Nobunaga might call him like we say New Yorker or Bostonian.
Oof. I expect it tbh in todays age where Lucifer is very present for those that really understand how the world works and what needs to be promoted and included in this modern society.
In the Shincho-Koki (Lord Nobunaga Chronicle), there are two Oda Samurai whose first names are Yasuke, and both of them have surnames (Shichizo and Iwanari). Their entry was recorded years before Yasuke worked for Nobunaga. The Kanji used for their first names is different from Yasuke's (whom was never given a name in those records), as theirs were used for Samurai whereas those for Yasuke is that for peasants. Nobunaga calls Yasuke Hachigo-Yasuke (Yasuke no 8) as there was a Nanakura-Yasuke (Yasuke no 7) among his other servants with the same name. Yasuke is a very common name that time, almost an equivalent to John in English. Yasuke is not even included in the official list of Oda Pages (servants who held the same rank as Ranmaru Mori)
Not everyone was gay, just that some were, and that image was also emphasized, as in Ranmaru Mori's second creation. The character Ranmaru Mori is also a secondary character and is said to be modeled on Narutoshi Mori. He was an excellent retainer who tried to protect Nobunaga at Honnoji until the end. He is in a state of being made gay by posterity on his own. Like ukiyoe, like kabuki influence, it is distorted by funny experts and adjusted by decent scholars, but in the past, by TV, now by the Internet, the impact is more prominent. Be wary of suspicious Japanese and Asians who pose as experts abroad. When you see Westerners overemphasizing Japanese yakuza, erotica, and anime, you can see how inaccurate the information is.
@@UP3UP I didn’t write everyone is gay, didn’t I? I just let him know about kosho. Of course I was talking about Mori Ranmaru. Thanks for your additional information because I thought I don’t have to explain all about Ranmaru to his viewers. We are talking about Yasuke’s here. 追加情報ありがとうございます。このチャンネルで森蘭丸の事をいちいち説明するのもあれかな？って思って小姓というものが存在したことを書いたまでです。
The 4KO looked at the petition numbers and said ubisoft won't be missing them and here I am looking at the trailer numbers. Oh yeah... they won't be missing those numbers. We all know how this is going to turn out.
He is displaying his stupidity in plain sight. Come on bro be better. I just came across you're content and i gotta say you have a new subscriber brotha. Great job.
Ubisoft themselves admitted it, they are using Yasuke because there isnt enough known about him, so they can "fill in those gaps". Do you understand how disgusting that is, digging up an acutal persons life then changing it when they are not here to say anything about it. Thats like me saying about you years after you die, "yea he was a cowardly person who couldnt fight anybody" yea im just "filling in the gaps". Idk how people are getting fooled by Ubi here.
There's Thomas Lockley Englishman. He wrote book about Yasuke and published as historical document in 2015. The book title is "Yasuke: The true story of the legendary African Samurai". However the contents of the book mostly fiction by his imagination. Yasuke's historical material is only few lines text and one paint, but Lockley had been inflated it to 480 pages. The Japanese folklore the man on video is saying that is just Lockley's imagine. Lockley had been filled up "gaps" with his fiction eairly than UBI and paved as history. And Lockey deceived other many people and company completely.
It's funny cause the only people that seem to have a problem with his skin is those that are defending it, they're the ones that keep bringing it up, they keep saying people are racist over it, like our side talks about it but in the end doesn't have a problem with him as the MC, just that we wanted a Japanese mc
Seriously there are much more better samurai games out there and I recommend playing those over that junk heap Ubisoft is promoting. I highly recommend Ghost of Tsushima when Sucker Punch was developing that game they actually went to the actual island, did their research, spoke to the locals, and most of all they had Japanese consultants and historians involved.
Why is it considered sexist if there are no female or LGBTQ main protagonists in a game and racist if there are no black MAIN protagonists, but acceptable if there are no ASIAN main protagonist, especially in a game situated in Asia? Is it not racist to perpetuate Asian stereotypes as just Sidekicks and victims? What if you have a game featuring a white, Englishman, like Tarzan, lording it out over Africans in Africa, and just assassinating Africans in the most brutal method? Is that acceptable? Should no one call it for being racist? Colonialist? Imperialist?
Can’t wait to play assassins creed shadows yasuke being a samurai is awesome I hope people don’t lose sleep over this game but oh well if they want to be racist o guess just let them be
There is no description that Yasuke was a samurai, but there is no description that Yasuke was not a samurai in what is called a more accurate historical fact book that we Japanese know. That's for sure. But, by the same reasoning, there is no statement that Yasuke was a man or that he was not a woman. He said he took a bath to check if the color of his skin was true. However, there is no record of whether it was male or female. Well, just around the corner. I think if Yasuke wanted to be a samurai for the sake of diversity in the game, he didn't have to be a man. They could have had Yasuke in the setting that he was a female black man who became a samurai. If Ubisoft had made such a challenge in the first place, I think the Japanese would have been very tolerant and said, "It's a game, so there's no need to make a fuss." Because we Japanese often create fictional stories about Nobunaga as a woman. In addition, a long-form historical fantasy in which a woman held the real power of the world by switching men and women and making them samurai became a big hit in Japanese comics, so I don't think it's a bad idea.
Yeah, and copyright infringement is legal based on your opinion too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MvQ9AtPQHxo.htmlsi=kXKCI3t8ES1X6IMA
AGN ○ Japan aside, and the guy that you're ridiculing in your video aside. Are you going to honestly tell me that you haven't seen any racist rhetoric against the Yasuke character and black people in general? I found it odd that you found this guy, but you haven't seen the many, many, many, videos on RU-vid throwing out racist BS. Not to mention their comments sections. I challenge you to go on RU-vid and find these videos. It is not hard to do.
U want to find me some videos to watch then? Bc i covered a lot. Why do you think i gave credit to a person b4 i got to him? I got recommended him. I didn't search for him. I am sure it exist bro but this was not about making it black. It's about Japan's history and how rude these ppl are insulting them and not including them in their own damn history and then calling them racist. Altering their history and for the first time ever make a main line not having the right protagonist fitting the region and even the game itself. A Ninja female was not the way. The Japanese Male has pride and he has no place in this game to represent his history. It's very wrong when it comes to WAR. What's more annoying is wokes trying to ignore all this and make it seem like it suppose to be about blacks which is Ubi using them in the wrong manner to insult Japan's masculine nature, Pride and history. This is why i focus on defending Japan. It is wrong and u know how many blacks love Japanese culture and watch anime? Grew up on their Video games? So many. They made amazing worlds for ppl and there is no problem against Japan and Colored people.
I guess you're confused on what I'm talking about. I'm talking about you saying something was racist and using this video as the only example when there are plenty of racist videos out there disrespecting black people because of this game situation. I don't even know what the f*** you mean by you're not trying to make it black! but I do know racist bulshit when I hear and see it. and if you're going to call out one side of racism you need to call it all out, or none at all. 4901 @@AscendedGaming777
@@TheRealGoldenRiverit seems like my comment towards you was removed. Let me iterate again. If you like salamis that's on you or in you, or whatever. But don't bring it to my comments thread. This shouldn't be removed it doesn't break any guidelines.
I don't want to defend Ubi but I think the reaction of the Japanese is being too exaggerated, I mean they are offended by putting a black samurai but they turn every historical character both inside and outside of Japan into sexualized anime girls and when they are not historical figures are warships xD and I can't be offended by this? Not to mention the thousand misinterpretations they have about foreigners when creating stories from outside Japan. Besides, they themselves brought out the Obsidian samurai in Nioh and in the description, if my memory serves me right, they called him Yasuke, but no one said anything? In short, hypocrisy
As you say, Yasuke appeared as a black samurai in "Nioh" and the Japanese did not have a problem with that.This fact is evidence that the problem with "Assassin's Creed Shadows" has nothing to do with Yasuke being black. You should consider why it was not an issue in "Nioh" and was an issue in "Assassin's Creed Shadows". Niou: Koei Tecmo says it is a fantasy game. So any content is allowed. ACS: Ubisoft says it is a game based on historical fact. But in reality, they are fabricating historical facts. That is why they are criticized.
@@user-gj4uz9gg1z First, they say inspired by facts, not based, they are two totally different things, Assassin's Creed is also fiction, everything is very far from reality and it has been like this in all of its sagas, I think it became clear when some characters began to have "powers" and that Historical characters appear in historical events does not mean that it stops being fiction, they say it themselves every time you open the game "inspired" and "fiction", it is a game not a documentary and yes Nioh was fantasy, but historical figures also appeared in historical moments like nobunaga or leyasu. And if the problem is not that he is black, then tell me why are these people being "offended"? Because the whole problem lies in the existence of Yasuke.
In the video where they talk more about Naoe & Yasuke they clearly say it’s a work of historical fiction it’s not a real game with real facts why are people so mad it’s literally HISTORICAL FICTION
@@AscendedGaming777 the woke part is Yasuke but I’m talking about your ignorant problem with AC Shadows being so called historical accurate that’s what you guys claimed Ubi said when they clearly said it’s Historical fiction just admit it’s a fictional game like every other AC game
@@SSFX111 bro if it was just fictional there would be no issue here. Did u know they changed the wiki to fit the false narrative of him being a legendary Samurai? U dont go this far for fiction man. There is much more and u seen it too...
