Yasuke Opening Theme | Black Gold - Flying Lotus/Thundercat | Netflix Anime 

Seeing Fly Lo go from making beats for Adult Swim cause he used to watch all the anime shows on there to now making music for anime is a beautiful full circle moment.

No one, not a single goddamn one: Netflix: Skip intro WHAT KIND OF TASTELESS MONSTER SKIPS FLYING LOTUS AND THUNDERCAT!!!!

Nujabes is smiling from heaven

Bro Nujabes would be SO proud, it was a long time coming for a producer to score an anime again, this is bout to be a true treat

A song worthy of THE famous black samurai.

Netflix : " Skip intro?" Me: " I'LL BE RIIGHT HEEERRE "😫

I think people are overlooking the fact that Flying Lotus is not just a composer for this show but, more importantly, an executive producer. That is monumental for him, I’m sure

I still cannot believe flying lotus is making the soundtrack...

Thundercat with MAPPA'S animated intro?!?! Its not what we wanted, is what we needed all this time!

I’m sure Yasuke is smiling from the heavens he’s definitely not forgotten. This opening is pure 🔥 fire

DAAAMMMNNN I GOT CHILLS LIKE NEVER BEFORE

There were a lot of people who didn't end up liking this anime, but you have to admit, this song is dope as hell.

0:53 the animation throughout this entire walking sequence is pretty damn good. In fact, every cut like that is so intricate and impressive. Every step and movement just flows so well. The dynamic camera angles and movement also help immensely.

Music: 10/10 Animation: 10/10 Potential of the series: 11 /10 Story: 3/10

1:15 soccer players when they barely even touch each other

See you guys in a few years when this get recommended.

When Oda Nobunaga gives you a sword, says you're a samurai, and you fight with him at Honnoji... Then you're The Samurai.

I've been watching anime since I was a small babe. Never dreamed I would watch an anime with people that look like me, created by people who look like me. And WHAT A SONG IT'S ABSOLUTE FIRE!!

Dont mistake my kindness for weakness, Cause I'm strong you see, Stronger than you'll ever be...

Nobunaga didn't care about tradition He cared about RESULTS And some people took it personally...

This deserves a season 2

This opening is out of this world FLYING LOTUS GOATED MAPPA GOATED

the passion is dripping from this opening, this is so sick

Why is the walking sequence at 0:52 so satisfying to watch ?

I’ve never felt so many different emotions hearing a song I broke down crying out of nowhere hearing this song I can’t explain it I don’t think they understand how powerful this song is

Flying Lotus, Thundercat, and a black anime character, based on history. The excellence is almost too much to handle.

Animation: Goated Intro: Goated You bumping this at 1:50 am: Goated

Can we get a historical Yasuke anime next time? Lets keep Flying Lotus though that man is insane with these beats

This is one of those animes were u just don't skip the intro

This has got to be top one of the 10 best anime intros songs all time

This truly had the potential to be something special. Everyone on this team put their soul into the music, designs, and art of the show. This could’ve been an incredible successor for shows like Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop… Whenever I see this opening, all I can think of is what could’ve been. Yusuke’s story is one of a kind and interesting enough for an entire anime. You had the chance to tell such a unique story, one that could’ve easily been forgotten in history given it’s context. It’s one of kind story and you felt the NEED to put mechs and magic in the show…

Netflix: [skip intro] ? Me: NEVER EVER EVER EVER SUPER BANGER. This show is a dream come true. Gorgeous. LeSean and FlyLo, hats off to you both. 👏🏽

This is a Toonami opening; This is a Toonami show. It's flawless.

LYRICS Brought in a world A world so brand new, endless possibilities A whole new identity Can't you see? Black gold of the sun Open up your eyes, open up your eyes Feel the sunshine, let love in I just wanna be where I'm supposed to be And that's right here with you Don't mistake my kindness for weakness Because I'm strong, you see Stronger than you'll ever be Loyal to the end, soomeone to call my friend Whenevеr you need me, I'll be right herе Love and loyalty, trust and honesty I'll never let go

What I like in the anime is that they did a good job of demonstrating Yasuke's strength. Normal samurai just cuts and stabs, while Yasuke straight up bisects people. He is the juggernaut of Oda Nobunaga.

One hell of an opening song! I keep replaying it

This anime had everything handed to it. Amazing music, amazing VAs, Samurai story with Black lead, Highly talented Studio and it still fumbled. They really could have left all the magic and mechs and could have just had the story of Yasuke before the 20 years and it would've been fine.

Lyrics Brought in a world A world so brand new, endless possibilities A whole new identity Can't you see? Black gold of the sun Open up your eyes, open up your heart Feel the sunshine, let love in I just wanna be where I'm supposed to be And that's right here with you Don't mistake my kindness for weakness Because I'm strong, you see Stronger than you'll ever be Loyal to the end, soomeone to call my friend Whenevеr you need me, I'll be right herе Love and loyalty, trust and honesty I'll never let go

These days, I listen to this at least once daily. To remind myself of how artistically genius an opening can be by mixing aesthetics and using anachronistic music and synthwave to the Edo period of the show.

This song perfectly describes the whole 6 episodes and now I can't stop crying

🗣📢OK AS A BLACK ANIME WATCHER I AM MORE THAN PLEASED WITH THE DIRECTING, SONG CHOICE, AND JUST EVERYTHING ELSE. THANK YOU MAPPA❤❤❤❤

i didnt have good expectations going into this anime but it slapped me hard right away

That bit at the end with all their faces and Yasuke drawing his sword is fantastic.

This is the best opening to an anime ever don't argue with me

This theme song is everything 🔥💜

Damn Canon buster and this have Bop openings 😩🤔🔥No 🧢 and Afro samurai and samurai champloo

This anime gives me that early 90's ova vibe.

watched all six episodes and never dared skip that intro man, pure ecstacy

Some serious Adult Swim vibes from this...I could see myself staying up till 2am to watch this weekely

I'm obsessed with this song, one of the few intros on Netflix i never skipped 😩

This is beyond beautiful what an amazing collab and work of art Yasuke truly is. We need a season 2

THIS IS SO FIRE WHEN I HEARD THIS I SCREAMED 😭

I feel like Yasuke's plot could've been something amazing Here's my Idea of what the story could've been about: ----------------------------------------------------------- The story could've been about Yasuke trying to figure out if he is still the violent man he was in war or trying to seek peace and acceptance with who he was and move on, so to get his answer he works as a hired swordsman who ends up with the little girl. He finds out the little girl has little time left and that her caretaker (the one to hire Yasuke) is trying to find a cure, but the Emperor knows about this and is hunting down the woman and little girl so Yasuke is hired to protect them from the Emperor's mercenaries. Throughout the story Yasuke learns more and more things like lessons, philosophie, and morales, he slowly begins regaining his memory of the past and begins to accept that he will achieve peace after he finishes the contract. Of course some side characters and fan favorites will die and maybe some of the killed off characters have a sad backstory or are just cruel beings who only seek violence. Then again, I feel like Yasuke would be like Samurai Champloo if the story was like that, but in my opinion it would've been a great story.

Imagine RDCWORLD about to make another Anime House starting with Yasuke

It feels weird to finally see someone do a storytelling of the forgotten historical figure of Yasuke. I remember the first time I read about him was 5 years ago by someone's random post and thought this story should have some kind of adaptation

It’s already a vibe 🔥

One of the best intros of all time such a aesthetic thing 😭🙏🏻👏🏻

This is already giving me chills on the 1st listen. Let's hope the show is just as good, and let's us have good memories looking back at this opening.

Omg the fact that flying lotus was the composer for this show and also an executive producer was so awesome to me!

This opening alone is an artistic masterpiece

Netflix: Skip intro? Me: We don’t do that here

Flying Lotus’s beat, thundercat’s voice, the ART style, it just puts this crazy longing feeling in my chest, like I could reach out and touch the animations. Genuinely love this show, also hella proud of Fly Lo from going from making beats for Adult Swim bc he loved anime to making music for a Anime. Lovely full circle.

This song is so lovely. Instant buy.

THUNDERCAT??????!!!!!!

"There is no honor to be had here... Only pain and blood..."

I'm so glad I watched this. First anime to really pull me in, now it's probably my favorite show. & the music behind it is legendary... drags you into every scene. Opened my mind up to a bunch of new tings.

This hasn’t come out on Netflix yet, and I’m already in love with this opening 🔥

I’ve seen some you tubers hate it and trash it honestly it wasn’t that bad I enjoyed it but then again I really don’t complain about shows a lot since I enjoy watching them and not point out every little flaw which I notice many do these days which isn’t surprising . The music and animation was cool to me.

This intro gave me all the stars vibes from the end credits of Black Panther. This anime was so beautiful, been proud to be black but now I’m just hype to see black producers and musicians breaching the anime world! The sky is the limit now 🙏🏾 Jun would be proud how this soundtrack came out with the visuals. Hope he’s resting easy in heaven

This gonna reach Samurai Champloo's epicness level

Maaaaaaaan this had me jumpin and bumpin wtf is this power they thrusted upon this movie. I get chills everytime it starts up, this is so filthy. I don’t even mind if it’s not the greatest but nobody can say they didn’t put they’re whole soul in this thing.

I never thought l heard an intro that would feel the void Nujabes left but wow.

For a short anime Yasuke was one of those openings that I couldn't seem to skip 🤣. It's nice man✨

Its very good series dont understand why people dont like it

*Netflix Exec One:* "I don't know, will Thundercat be willing to work on our anime theme song?" *Netflix Exec Two:* _Plays Dragon Ball Doo Rag_

this is the only intro in my entire life that i've never skipped- not once

the vibes are immaculate

This is one of the best anime openings. Instant Classic.

I thought the anime was highly underrated. The Opening is a Bop!

This is my favorite anime from Netflix

This opening is mesmerizing. Never seen an op so beautiful.

the first time I heard this i started crying and I don't know why. its just so beautiful and captivating. then I listen to the lyrics and got even more emotional lol

" black gold of the sun" This song lyrics are so simple yet hit so hard .

Just to think that Chadwick boseman was going to play Yasuke 😞 R.I.P Chadwick! Amazing job Lakeith! 🔥✊🏾🥷🏾⚔️

The characters walking around... Some worried, some lost in thought, some going where the road takes them, the dynamic camera angles, and the beautiful colours and transitions together with this very heavy music, makes me want to watch this show Soo much!!! I absolutely love this opening!!!

How can a soundtrack be so beautiful

I haven't seen this anime yet, but i can't stop listening to this song. It's just so catchy and different. The animation for this is amazing, not surprisingly, cuz, y'know, MAPPA.

I am hyped but really should have been longer than 6 episodes.

I've had this song looped for the last hour. Amazing anime, Thanks Flying Lotus/Thundercat.

This is incredible. It's also making me miss Afro Samurai.

Probably the most gorgeous opening I've ever seen

I can see Nujabes and Samurai Champloo being a MAJOR INSPIRATION!!!! BRILLIANT!!!!!!

Still in love with this beat, beautiful melody and mesmerizing aesthetic shots!

This opening is hella aesthetic

Lakeith Stanfield playing a huge roll in this along w/ Flying Lotus makes this a must support. More P.OC. in the anime world is beautiful and inspiring Don't let the robot throw you off from a great anime!

I wasn’t gonna get into this anime once I seen that there was magic and mechs because I was just hoping for something more grounded... but then I started ONE episode and I hear this. Now I don’t care. I’m just plain interested. I’m binging this show now.

I haven't even seen this show, and this opening is Soo moving... I keep coming back!

I felt the anime could’ve been better without the mechs and magic but otherwise phenomenal opening

The moment the beat starts, a sensational wave passes through my body, and I am absolutely left emotional by this beautiful piece of music. A very beautiful opening indeed.

Mother's Basement needs to do a what's in an OP of this. Nujabes would be so happy with this anime.
