[@DoctorORBiT]

A historical character? Yasuke, the black person you are referring to, was a slave/sword bearer back in japan. The only recorded black man in the history of Samurai. Everytime he appeared, folks would gather around to stare at the "strangly colored man". He would be the worst assassin, to every secretly assassinate someone.

[@enenrax]

@@DoctorORBiT Ubisoft stated: "As a shinobi, Naoe is the most skilled at stealth. Yasuke can use stealth, but his size and armour plating means he’s better at using those skills to get the drop on targets rather than perform a fully silent infiltration." And he doesn't have a Hidden Blade :v

[@MAORISMURF20]

Some cool information. This game is set about 18-20 years before the events in Shōgun. The character that Yasuke serves is Oda Nobunaga, who was the real-life counterpart of Kuroda Nobuhisa, the warlord who Lady Mariko's father betrays/kills, and who is Lady Ochiba's father. Yasuke was actually present when Nobunaga was ambushed, and he fought alongside him in that battle before he was overcome and made to give up his sword. I wonder if we'll be able to meet these characters in the game? Mariko's father's real-life counterpart Akechi Mitsuhide. The Taikō Toyotomi Hideyoshi. And, of course, Tokugawa Ieyasu, the real-life counterpart of Mr. Hiroyuki Sanada's Yoshii Toranaga.

[@mayotwin8136]

If they are going to feature an assassin, they should use hidden clans like the Imbe clan, Kamo clan, or Hata clan rather than Yasuke. The theory that the Hata clan are ancient Israelites fits perfectly with Assassin's Creed and ties in with the story of Assassin's Creed 1! Given that Nobunaga is connected to the Imbe clan, it would make sense if they based the story on that.

[@looiyuanjieyuanjie1451]

behold yasuke the black samurai of feudal japan. People can complain about a black samurai in feudal japan, but for some reason they do not complain when a white woman or man in feudal japan as the setting. For example, blue eyed samurai.

[@oXRaptorzXo]

You obviously didn’t watch blue eyed samurai, first of all. Secondly, there were many white people in Japan, much more than black people. The reason Yasuke was kept and allowed to live in the first place was because the ruler of Japan at the time thought he was special and unique

[@DubbleLime]

Or Nioh bosses....

[@cuffzter]

Because people are uneducated. I already knew about Yasuke so I figured it must be him in the trailer. I havent seen blue eyd samurai, but apparently she is mixed race and half japanese, and there were white people in this time that could've been her father like a dutch sailor or maybe even William Adams himself (Blackthorne from Shogun) who did have a daughter named Susanna with a japanese woman, but I dont think she is the Blue eyed samurai.

[@TomTucker4157]

Lots of white people had access to Japan, they were the ones that forced open there isolationism after all, so having white people existing in Japan wouldn't be an insane thought. There's also the fact that Japan was incredibly racist and killed 99% of all non Japanese people, and only initially kept yasuke alive because of the unique color of his skin. The disbelief is warranted as the reason Yasukes story is so badass is because of how impossible it sounds

[@CC-of5xl]

The reason why matters though and yeah people complain when white characters are in feudal Japan. But usually it's done to show the actual "invasion" of the west into the east that took place. That's not why they chose Yasuke though. They did it for the same reason the other character is a woman it's to meet a quota. But in the end it wouldn't matter along as the characters are good and act appropriately for the era. Also they probably should have just made a fictional character as they'll basically have to change everything about Yasuke to make it work. But who knows maybe it will.

[@saine414]

[@divifilius]

Yasuke served Nobunaga the First unifier of Japan for like 3 years before his assassination. He was said to have been present during Nobunaga's death when he was betrayed by one of his main lieutenants Mitsuhide Akechi. His story afterwards as many of Nobunaga's close attendants is shrouded in mystery. When Nobunaga was burnt in the temple he had only Yasuke and a teenage son of one of his oldest vassals Ranmaru Mori. Ranmaru was confirmed to have died in the ensuing fight but Yasuke seems to disappear into legend after the Honnoji Incident(Assassination of Oda Nobunaga). I guess Yasuke's mysterious ending made him eligible for a role in Assassins Creed especially if he will be on a crusade against the traitors within the Oda Clan and the conservatives who are against unification.

[@MustardSkaven]

We know Yasuke was sent back to the Jesuits. Another thing most people don't know, Ranmaru and Yasuke were both lovers of Nobunaga.

It's been 17 years since AC1 and we are finally getting an assassins creed game set in feudal Japan. I am excited but worried at the same time. I just hope the game mechanics are well done. The combat, parkour, variety of weapons, etc. Also the story telling in the previous games has been a bit lackluster for me, not necessarily the content of the story but the way the it's told through the characters, the delivery and certain acting kinda throws me off. But nonetheless, I am very excited.

[@aidankirwan9904]

[@thangngudxop]

08:16 Not the same tbh. The era is different unless you talk about playing in a historicallly rural ancient Japan's feel then yes, pretty much. Most historical games would feel that way. Shadows literally set in a time where it's basically Japan's Romance of 3 Kingdoms, it's way more busy with life and death than the entire scenery/cutscene of Ghost, which, I think i understand why they named it "Ghost" of Tsushima, there's nothing there. It's just made-believe. Plus history.

[@mayotwin8136]

Japanese shrines retain many influences from ancient Israelites and the regions around Mesopotamia. In particular, the sacrificial ritual of the Onbashira Festival at Suwa Taisha is very similar to the story of Isaac's sacrifice in the Bible. Many clans fled the volcanic eruption in Japan around 7,000 years ago, migrated to the region around Egypt, and returned to Japan after several generations.

[@lukextw]

The letter from Luís Fróis, a Jesuit missionary, written in 1581, mentions Yasuke as an individual of African origin who served as a samurai under Oda Nobunaga. Although this letter is an important historical source corroborating Yasuke's presence in Japan and his role as a samurai, it is not the only evidence available. Other Japanese historical records from the time also mention Yasuke as an African warrior who achieved the rank of samurai.

[@Poke-ladd]

I keep getting mixed comments, some like this and others sawing he was just a retainer only allowed to hold Oda’s blades

[@へいきち-p2o]

I am Japanese. No Japanese people think that Yasuke is a samurai. Before that, very few Japanese people knew about Yasuke. If Yasuke is a samurai, he should have a last name. There are no historical documents that show that Yasuke was a samurai.

[@sombrashadow0013]

So many people were crying about Yasuke being a character, of course. Listen, whatever is true about the real life figure doesn't matter. It's an Assassin's Creed game. They've never been historically accurate. It's like saying God of War is true to greek/norse mythology

This looks good but Ubisoft's business practices and predatory pricing makes it a skip for me.

[@distortedsoul27]

They can see him... he's well over 6 feet tall, some say 6'7". While Japanese men, on average, are 5'7" as we speak. He stands out like a sore thumb. There's a whole slew of things wrong with the premise that they have for this game. And, if I'm being honest, they're 10 years too late to cash in the want for it. No matter how they sugar coat this clear attempt of pandering, it is built for a Western Liberal audience; unfortunately, they had to defecate on the Asian audience (Japanese culture specifically) to do so.

[@cd878]

Yes we know. The trailer shows us who is the stealth and who is the brute force. No need to explain we already know that's the point of the two different characters

[@en4833]

@@cd878 Except if Yasuke has gone around killing important figures and generally fucking shit up in Japan, he would have been much more than a footnote in Japanese history. Everybody would have heard of the 6 foot 7 black guy kicking ass and he would have been a prominent figure in history. AC games have always tried to follow real history closely, and try to tie their games into it as seamlessly as possible. That's why AC main characters were always historical nobodies who fit their region's main demographic. So that it makes sense that they never appear in the history books. They could fit into any crowd and vanish without a trace. Nobody would remember that they were ever there. But that's not possible with Yasuke. He sticks out like a sore thumb. Everybody would remember if they saw him even once in passing.

[@HELWINTER333]

He wasnt a samurai

[@akshayhere]

He was, goober. Look at Yasuke in the Maeda Clan version of the Shinchōkōki. Kaneko Hiraku (professor at the Historiographical Institute of the University of Tokyo, the most prestigious historical research institution in Japan) agrees with this. Additionally, in the book it says : This black man called Yasuke was given a stipend, a private residence, etc., and was given a short sword with a decorative sheath. He is sometimes seen in the role of weapon bearer. The meaning of the word stipend is not supposed to prove Yasuke was a samurai all by itself. What proves Yasuke was a samurai is not that he received a samurai stipend, but that he received a samurai stipend and carried Nobunaga's weapons which was the job of a samurai and had and fought with a katana at Nijō and he was mobilized and followed Nobunaga on the Takeda campaign of 1582 and remained by Nobunaga's side even after Nobunaga dismissed all his "ordinary soldiers".

[@へいきち-p2o]

@@akshayhere There are no clear historical documents that show that Yasuke was a samurai. Also, possessing Nobunaga's weapon does not necessarily equate to being a samurai. Nobunaga was walking around with a rare black man, and he might have just given him a sword. After Yasuke escaped at Honnoji Temple, he was captured by Akechi's army, but he was released. If Yasuke had been a loyal and strong samurai, he would have been killed on the spot. Japanese people are not stupid enough to blindly believe what a Tokyo University professor says. In fact, very few Japanese people think of Yasuke as a samurai.

[@akshayhere]

@@へいきち-p2o Considering almost every japanese media about him portrays him as a samurai, you're wrong there. Additionally he also fought at battle beside Nobunaga. That qualifies as samurai, with the addition of a stipend (which samurai were given). In general, 扶持 is a term for a payment for mid-lower ranking warriors for them to hire (usually warrior) servants for (usually temporary) employment. Given the term's usual usage, and that Yasuke was clearly by Nobunaga's side in permanent employment, it doesn't make sense for Yasuke to be anything but a warrior. Read before spreading misinformation. The conclusion of all reasonable historians on the matter is that Yasuke was a samurai, and anyone who disagrees can suck on the historical record.
