Rise Of The Ronin Hides A Cool Nioh Easter Egg 

Documentation says he was a slave, then in Japan a servant to Nobunaga.. That's literally it. Now if you have imagination, he can even be a purple fluffy rabbit, because why not.

@LoneWolf-c1i Incorrect. Documentation says he was most likely originally a slave but then conscripted into the service of the Portuguese missionaries, either in some kind of indentured servitude or paid mercenary for hire. According to the records, both Portuguese and Shinchōkōki, Yasuke likely had some kind of fighting or militant background even before entering into the service of Nobunaga from his previous travels and line of work and served as a type of bodyguard to the Jesuits. Said records go on to say that upon entering service to Nobunaga, he was given a sword, personal servants, a stipend, personal property, including a home, trained in Japanese literacy, and considered for eventual lordship granted by Nobunaga. All of those things in conjunction with each other are highly regarded as proof of samurai status by the vast majority of Japanese historians. During the sengoku period, the terms "Bushi" and "Samurai" became synonymous with each other, and a person did not need to descend from Japanese nobility nor carry a Japanese surname to become Samurai. The requirements were much more lax and did not become strict until the Tokugawa/Edo period. Furthermore, Nobunaga was a notorious iconoclast well known for defying any pre-existing Japanese traditions regardless of what others thought. He would have been the most prime candidate in Japanese history to ordain the first foreign-born Samurai at the time. Ever heard the saying "if it looks, acts, walks, runs, and sounds like a horse, it's a horse"? Some of you keep gaslighting the situation and moving the goalpost because you're so desperate for Yasuke to "not be Samurai" to suit your narrative. All of the historical facts and the historians themselves, both Japanese and western alike, contradict your desire, though.

@@vicentesalasii1480 Historical facts? Sure 😝

@LoneWolf-c1i Unlike you, I can actually cite my historical facts with sources and provide evidence. All of them are legitimate. All you've done thus far is parrot false narratives and disinformation spread by culture war grifters and trolls. Although I can't post links in the RU-vid comments, I can tell you that I'll take the words of Hirayama Yu, Daichi Kobayashi, Takahashi Junichi, Sachi Schmidt-Hori, Tomoko Kitagawa, Gary Leeup, Malcom Adams, Hiraku Kaneko, Matsudaira Ietada, and countless other historical references and historians, Smithsonian Museum, and Encyclopedia Britannica any day over someone like you or the grifters that you follow.

@@vicentesalasii1480 Who cares about a black samurai in a feudal Japan anyways. That's the whole point mate, this game gonna be a disappointment, Ubisoft is done. Don't be so serious. Side note, I'm from Eastern Europe, we don't give a ffffffff about some minority somewhere and I can't stand grifters, from both sides. My games this year are Wukong and the new STALKER game. Next year there would be much better games than Shadows, but I'm gonna buy it just for memes, Assassin's creed is dead for a long time, cheers.
