The real controversy is simply why in the first game set in Japan, out of all characters to have why him 🤔 nothing wrong if he is & used properly but it’s just funny especially since no protagonist has ever been a historically person. Me simply saying that gets me called a racist THATS the bs part.
No, the Japanese have not always acknowledged him as a samurai. Nope. In fact, the Japanese kept very meticulous records about Samurai during the time period. Yasuke is on none of the lists. There's no record of him ever achieving the status. None. And if there's no record, he didn't achieve it. The only records that exist about Yasuke, and there aren't many (because he WAS NOT one of the most famous people of the time period), indicate that Nobunaga procured him from some Jesuits. He gave Yasuke his name (nobody even knows what Yasuke's real name was. He was THAT important and famous *sarcasm*), made him a weapon-bearer and retainer, and yep. That's about it. Yasuke was only one of Nobunaga's many retainers (again, retainers aren't samurai) for about 15 months before Nobunaga died, at which point Yasuke surrended to the authorities (instead of committing honorable seppuku for failing his lord) and was given back to the Jesuits as their slave. 15 months. He didn't have time to become fluent in Japanese, didn't have time to learn the Bushido code or train in the Samurai arts (which took years to master), and was at best a historical footnote in the Nobunaga drama. At least... he would be a mere historical footnote, if not for his hue. That's why Ubisoft picked him. That's why the West focuses so hard on him. Because of his hue, not any actual accomplishments. That's it. People are annoyed because Ubisoft decided to take a real life person, fan-fiction the heck out of him, and then pretend that said fan-fiction is historical fact. To the point of purposefully editing Wikipedia articles to promote their falshehoods. All for ESG points and to provide a shield from legitimate criticism about their terrible pricing schemes, egregious micro-transactions, and overall lack of quality. It's tacky, tokenizing, and sleazy. Also hasn't helped that Ubisoft said that they wanted players to be able to see Japan with "non-Asian eyes." Why? You let us see Italy through an Italian's eyes. You let us see Ptolmaic Egypt through an Egyptians eyes. Is it because, as some of your staff have indicated on Twitter, Japanese people are "white-adjacent" and not diverse enough? Eh. Anyway... good luck with your channel. I don't think you did your research on this issue very well, but whatever. Algorithm favored you.
People are being crazy because its Ubisoft maybe.... This is so stupid i adress this in my channel i dot know why this RU-vidr spreading misinformation
