The gameplay basically shows you a fantasy version of Sengoku japan, with plants blooming out of season, apparently a shrine gate as an entrance to a village and in the shown mansion the guards have way too elaborate armor.

You were good for saying how all his historical basis was mostly propaganda, but you didn’t really cover what the real character did and what happened to him. How he was sold back into slavery after one year in Japan to the Dutch.

Thank you! I didn’t want the video to be too long so I was selective about what I put in.

@JeffSok-g1d 2 месяца назад

Why is Yasuke shown in full armor while walking through a village? Wouldn't something like that only be worn in battle? I know this is probably a Google question, but does anyone have any ideas?

@DandanaSquidz 2 месяца назад

That’s another thing that people had an issue with!

According to Japanese records, not only Nobunaga's cause of death, but his body is still missing, and he is still alive and dead. It's crazy to use games as evidence of historical fact, or anime as evidence of historical fact. Ubisoft completely mispromoted AC Shadows. AC Shadows is a fantasy that has nothing to do with history or real people.

5:48 I'm pretty sure Denzel's gonna be an African merchant. Not the emperor. (For any of y'all that doubt that. Just check out the synopsis for the movie, you'll see.)

@DandanaSquidz 2 месяца назад

He is playing Macrinus, who if you google it, was a Roman Emperor. Now, they may have adjusted it slightly to make him a powerful merchant rather than an emperor I do not know but in the trailer it has him seated in the emperor’s seat in the colosseum 🤷‍♂️

@Meldrick-jv7sy 2 месяца назад

If they just made Yasuke some npc that trained the player, all this "Ah, Yasuke was a samurai." "No, he wasn't a samurai" shit wouldn't have started in the first place.

@FreakyDudeEx 2 месяца назад

again.... FFS just bloody actually read the fucking history up in japanese and look at all the fucking historical texts from that time period... he is not a samurai... some people did think he might be turned into a tono (lord) in name only due to oda's favorability with no actual power, but he was never a samurai... its like how oda loves to bring a bunch of sumos and give them houses and gave them bushi titles with no family names.... the oda guy loves to keep humans that interest him as pets FFS... plus back then he can't even give a samurai titles to these people... because back then it was prior to the first foreign samurai period where they finally gave away samurai titles to others not born into a samurai family.... this is the period where if you want to be a samurai, you had to be born into a family of samurai... this is the period they lived in.... BTW by so called being "born into" they mean that a family of samurais took a child into their training regime from young after being chosen... people back then loved the bloodline crap but sometimes they also take in children from the outside and adopting them into their family.... its the period where sometimes its hard to see whose lineage you actually belong to unless you are literally born into the family that are either rich and have power or with loads of concubines.... i don't even need a fucking degree in japanese history to even know something so simple.... all i had to do was just watch series about japanese historical dramas and get the basic idea of the time period they were supposed to be in and just use references from what was happening to people around nobunaga to pull out something so simple... yasuke was literally a human pet of nobunaga.... he was there to be shown to guest as entertainment just like the bunch of bushi sumos he summoned from all over his land...

I'd take the "opinions of the Black Community" with a grain of salt when it comes from people who aren't part of the Black Community. Also, history is full of embellishments made by the ruling class. People seem to have no issues with those. Only when the subject doesn't represent the norm do people get upset. No one is upset about "historical accuracy". Just like pro-lifers aren't concerned about the children they so vehemently defend. They just want to remain comfortable in their own beliefs, and have no room for anything that conflicts with those

@DandanaSquidz 3 месяца назад

Japanese people are upset about historical accuracy as it pertains to their culture’s representation, or lack there of. I respect that you wouldn’t take people’s opinions with much importance as it relates to the black community if they are not in the black community, however, I believe this video was more about the Asian community the the black community.

@GJWhite66 3 месяца назад

@DandanaSquidz I do agree with that point. But just take a moment to view the sources of this outrage. The vast majority of it isn't coming from the Black or Japanese communities. If that were the case, Gods of Egypt and the Last Samurai wouldn't exist. And why this exact same discourse gets repeated every time leading roles in media don't represent the status quo. We can have a major development studio say in public that in their vision, only Caucasians exist in their fantasy world. And no outcry whatsoever. But the moment other cultures get mixed into fantasy - which is what this is - we get these cries. You can set your watch to it.

@@DandanaSquidz They upset but they do the same with others cultures without thinking twice. Funny that accuracy come just now when they are expert in term of changing history. And for what we know, many are actually not Japanese.

@@aelitastone5629 Thanks for your comment. Do you have examples of Japanese people inserting themselves into other cultures history?

@aelitastone5629 3 месяца назад

@@DandanaSquidz Well lots in animes, mangas or movies. Even games. They used Viking legend (The game Valkyrie profile when they all are Japanese in a Nordic World, I can't imagine the polemic if we do the same ), Arthur legend, Chinese legend ( Like many maybe don't konw : Dragon Ball, another famous : Saint Seiya). They are a movie mixing Cinderella and Red hood (sorry I dont know the name) but mixed it in a trhiller in a medieval world with medieval costume where people are only Japanese and act Japanese. Gibli use a lot medieval world and many games take inspiration of that period because they like it a lot from what I know. One of recent manga/novel The apothecary daily take place in China Tang period. They like take inspiration of anything actually and changing it in many forms. Even when they decribe anothers worlds we can see that the characters act like Japanese people and in case of reality games/animes or others they look Japanese with standard Japanese even in a complete medieval world. Mixed at best. And nobody said anything to them when they played with history, legends, architectural and cultural things and changed it. Some was even apreciated like lady Oscar an historical anime about French revolution who take many liberties.

Based on centuries old manuscripts, Japanese historians concluded that Yasuke was a samurai

That’s not true. The consensus amongst Japanese Hisotrians was that he WASN’T a samurai. There are one or two outliers who say he was but the vast majority say he wasn’t.
