In our new animated historical documentary we will tell the story of the first foreign samurai in Japan, the man from Africa, they called Yasuke. He traveled to Japan with the Portuguese missionaries and played an interesting role in the Sengoku Jidai period and in the life of the daimyo Oda Nobunaga.

Seeing a lot of dog whistle racism in your comments section. All these people using variations of 'We Wuz Kangs n Sheet' are using an meme from reddit and 4chan about black people claiming to have been royalty before being enslaved in the Americas. Some think that they are being clever by just posting the word 'WE' or other smal I'll snippets of the phrase. And it's sad that they are this triggered by an interesting moment in history, but also using the same tired phrase to express themselves publicly.

@gastonmedici1029 3 дня назад

@@Develpup The problem is that Yazuke is a very interesting character but he is not the best historical figure to represent a samurai. He was under Nobunagas service no more than an year. Its not probable that he would be trained as samurais in such a short period. He was probably a good fighter, but its unlikely he would fight like the japanese did. Theres no record of him given a samurai armor and if that was the case, he wouldnt be using dreadlocks, he would be using a chonmage. This is not Yazuke, this is afro samurai. He is more in line with a fictionalized manga character than with an actual historical figure.

@@gastonmedici1029 Why does suddenly historic accuracy is suddenly extremely relevant for an assassin's creed game? Yasuke was a real person. He was also featured in numerous japanese manga/anime/works and their authors took creative liberties to tell their stories with him in mind. Why can't Ubisoft do the same without people whining? Nobody ever complained about historical accuracy with all the outlandish things that happen in these games. I've read the silliest takes from overnight history appointed experts who tried their best to downplay Yasuke's story, as if that justifies Ubisoft having the right to tell their story how they want it.

@funkymonkeyman1000 День назад

@@Eliik better question is why can’t ubisoft use a Japanese samurai to represent Japanese history instead of jumping on the bandwagon of black protagonist is a must nowadays? Why can’t they use an African nation like Mali to have a black main character? And the notion that assassins Creed isn’t historically accurate is moot doesn’t mean because it’s a little bit of historically accurate in some aspects means it has to be an accurate in all aspects.

@sammylong3704 5 лет назад

Actually, it probably had more to do with the Moorish empire. At that period in history, Spain and Portugal still had small native African populations, remnants from the Moorish period that had just ended. Many of the Moorish descendants were shipped out of the country and used as sailors and colonial servants after the Iberian inquisitions. Yasuke was no doubt one of those Moors commissioned into the Portugese navy. Hence why he was fluent in both Portugese and Japanese.

The majority of slaves were actually gained through capturing of enemy troops during warfare and punishment for criminals as well as those working off debt. If he was born into slavery, his parents were likely already slaves.

Japan was balkanized at that time, stood independently fighting each other. Oda Nobunaga is a Daimyo, which is head of one of those clans, but said to be the most powerful Daimyo. Emperor in Japan did exist aside from that, but didn't really had any commanding power over Japan.

Two things you’re missing historically are that He was being used as a bodyguard by the missionary, as it was common for missionaries of the time to purchase mercenaries or athletic slaves as guards, especially if venturing into feudal Japan. Second, the Japanese were fascinated by His skin color because older pictures of Buddha depicted Him with very dark skin, and since most of Japan was Buddhist there was an obvious likeness to their supreme teacher in Him, and yes He was a large athletic Man that probably towered over most of them.

Similar to the inhabitants of all the other continents, Asia's native Japenese was initially black[sic] people that travelled and had made their way there from within the Africa continent, and they existed in Japan and all the other Asian countries for thousands upon thousands of years until the current stock of Asians and Japenese appear later around 100 - 200 thousands years ago.

@@CardboardAnimal The bozo thinks it's ok to joke about one of humanity's worst atrocities. One that may have been innevitable, but a horrible, horrible one nonetheless. Worst of all, one that still has consequences today in the form of the Hibakusha "Bomb survivors". He doesn't deserve the attention you give him. Just let him be the moron he is and leave it at that. You're wasting time you could be using for far better things.

@@NeGoPoS What's ur point? The whole world has hated Hebrews since the beginning of time yet we're still here... The black man created all culture. All we need is for nature to respect us. All we have to do is watch how nature treats the modern day man in each region/nation and if they can't handle the sun, then those people are not the original *natural* natives of whatever specific land; simple.. All nations were formed by the original brown man("black" people/Hebrews are actually different shades of brown)! "Black" people are your creators! My people are god's erased from history. The world had better hope we never rediscover ourselves and unlock our suppressed powers! Shit it takes an whole task force to detain 1 Hebrew female teen. So what do "white" people really know about our history they want us to so badly forget for their sake of survival?

There is a story that Nobunaga intended to give Yasuke a castle. But he died from an unlucky betrayal. If Nobunaga was alive, he could have been bigger in Japan.

@akay_g9 3 года назад

That woulda been so amazing, Bro! Imagine if Nobunga gave an African Warrior that helped him his own Castle! The course slave history in coulda gone quite differently given how certain events can have huge butterfly effects on time. BTW could you tell me this particular story your talking about?

@howardthealien2606 3 года назад

Seido.

@quad9936 3 года назад

We have never seen that kind of story in Japan since all the Yasuke's record we have are just 3 short sentences only. Could you show us the original source of your story because I have no problem to read the original record since Japanese is my first language.

The “we wuz” comments aren’t even annoying at this point…I actually like that you would go so far as to talk in jive?? Means you respect black people so thank you. Actually I think these people are jealous that a black man went down in Japanese history instead of a white man lol.. Cry

@LoopyLemon775 Год назад

@Wind Rose That’s cool. Never knew those people existed. See how I’m being respectful and not 💩 ing on these people for being white in japan? I bet they have a statue of him too right? That’s dope. Certain people should take notes instead of being racist and bitter because a black man became a legend in japan.
