Yasuke was not a noble, samurai, or even respected. He was a fucking water boy whom was promptly killed when his caretaker died.

Irc he was spared by one of the higher ranking samurai from the forces opposing Nobunaga. He was told something along the lines of "a beast shouldn't be slain because of it's masters misdeeds". He was then sent packing back to the jesuits and that is literally where the story ends, there are no more mentions of him lol. Records on him are pretty shoddy so nobody knows what actually transpired during his time in Japan, but what can be established from what there is is basically... he was in Japan for approximately 15 months, Nobunaga was fascinated by his black skin, he served Nobunaga for less than a year, he was given some privileges much to the chagrin of other samurai, he was described as being strong and tall, he was spared death and fled.

There is no evidence to suggest he WAS a samurai, nor that he actively fought in any battles. His story has been severely pumped up for no other reason than he was black. Williams Adams for example actually was awarded the title of samurai and contributed tremendously to Japanese history.

A lot of people overlook the fact Nobunaga was known for being eccentric and collecting oddities too, which would probably not look good for the people pushing the narrative that Yasuke was some badass respected samurai warrior.

This is very accurate, but yasuke was in Japan for 3 years that they can account for he was only a retainer for 15 months but had been in country with the jesuits doing missonary work.

Like you said nobunaga liked to collect oddities. A black man was one of those

Yasuke wasn't a main character in Nioh, faggot.

He was a boss wasn't he? And you got to beat his ass as the white european man William Adams. lol.

He was also a samurai in that game for some reason? I feel like that probably fed the misconceptions that he was anything but a manslave.
Nioh at least has the excuse of it being fictional yet it's somehow still more accurate at times than Ass Creed these days. Nice one Ubisoft.
 
It's without a doubt white christians would be major antagonist for black and asian team up, but is Ubi retarded enough to make white guy main antagonist or some daimyo will be big bad.
Also making arriving people in closed country bad guys worth exterminating seems pretty nationalistic and anti-globalistic. But it's white devils you see, they are really seed of all evil
 
If you really want to make fanfiction nigger an important character just make akechi the playable character and make him bffs with yosuke like ezio and da vinci.
You get the samurai/assassin mc, you can make nobunaga man bad for extra jap asspats and a nice reason for him and akechi dissapearing from the history books after the betrayal
 
SiccDicc said:
Well, the Jesuit narrative was that he was let go because Akechi didn't see it fit to kill an animal or have Japanese laws apply to someone who isn't Japanese.

Yes exactly. He came there with jesuits as a missionary or sonthe story is told. I believe he was most likely a slave that was "exonerated" by Nobunaga for being a nig.

The quote was somwthig a long the lines of "you do not have to slay the beast because the beast master is incompetent"

Even Nobunaga saw a nigger as subhuman but kept him around because he collected oddities a d was eccentric.

Aka. a retarded rock collector
 
I replayed 2 and brotherhood a while back. They really did something few other games have. Genetic memory, history being fabricated to an extensive degree, and an eternal shadow war of ideology revolving around magic-like technology all blended together to create a distinct existential atmosphere. Not horrific or philosophical but an interesting portrayal of human existence.

Ezio hearing Desmond's name was the highest peak of the series, and that was forever ago. That put all the irregularities together. I don't think there's been a better plot twist in any other game. Just perfect.

and then we all know what happened

AnalCreed used to have a coherent story but then the main creators left after either 2, Brotherhood or Revelations so the series just became an annual Ubislop tower climbing moneymaker until it eventually became an excuse to put niggers and girlboss women who look like troons into every single great time period and culture in history.
 
I remember my enjoyment of Ass Creed hitting a peak with AC3 playing as Haytham. The combat flowed so well, the characters were enjoyable, and they set up the 1750's fantastically.

Then I started playing as Connor. And all those cool characters you learned to like are suddenly the bad guys, including Haytham. And your new MC has the personality of a tree. The sailing was the most memorable part of the game, and Ubi took notes because that's the only thing they decided was worth doing more of.

It was really downhill from there. AC4 was a good pirate game, but it was an AWFUL Assassins Creed, and that was the point they really lost the plot, because Ubisoft decided that making Assassins Creed games where you do anything but assassin stuff is going to print money. Which is why ever since, there has either been sailing, mythological shit, having the whole Assassins vs Templars plot be little more than background stuff that means NOTHING, and you could take the AC logo off the front of the last couple games and no one would notice.

I wonder if they’ll continue the habit (since Odyssey, though I believe they ruined Jacob Frye like this too) of faggot protags with Yasuke. You just know half the people beating their chest over this will get real quiet then.

ETA:
The “Japanese expert” they hired is a Japanese fag history professor. :story: You couldn’t make this up with a million years and a crystal ball.
Note the pedos being framed as a good thing.

She has a fucking expertise in Yaoi, she isn't just a goddamn expert Fujoshi, but a specific expert of BL shotacon of all things. What do you even do with this sort of study in Japan? Write a university thesis on fucking Boku no Pico?

Also, then there's that "Schmidt"

From Grummz's post, Senior IGN editor Matt Kim is defending his Assassin's Creed Shadow clickbait article while going on a rampage.

He "cares" about Japanese representation.

I fucking love this, the guy isn't even Japanese, he's Korean. He's moral-fagging & virtue-signalling for this shit while he's literally from the country that possibly seethes about Japan the most to this day to the point of ridiculousness, if not mockery (if you ever want an example for the term "colonial hangover", look no further than Korea).

Also, his bio says 교포 which means "overseas Korean", or "Korean resident abroad". He's Korean American, he barely has the right to talk about even any Korean mainland problems, let alone Japanese ones.

Some folks in the comments sections of that article are calling out the actual cultural appropriation and they're just getting responses like "cry harder, bro" and "you only care because he's black". It's all so tiresome.

Apparently the new narrative is: "you hate black people and women".

His take was peak unhinged too.

“Japanese men, we’ve seen you enough in the culture you made. Mom said it’s Darryl’s turn to play samurai so gtfo.”

he was a stage boss sure, one of about 100 or so. He was a little oddity, and I am not sure if he even said anything. Just one of the many generic tough enemies the game had plenty off.

Sexy Cat Bitch has more prominance and was a proper Yokai boss.
