A japanese historian? Who? name the source. please. Because al other sources say he was not a real samurai. Samurai are nobility in japanese culture. Not everyone can become one. You need blood ties.
This isn’t true, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was a commoner and Nobunaga’s sandal bearer and not only did he end up a samurai, he literally became one of the three unifiers of Japan.
@@van-hieuvo8208 Literally every OTHER japanese historian. Also this is a negative. I say yasuke was not a samurai. If your argument he was. Then you should proof he was. There doesnt exist proof of something that is was not.
@@sephythelark Hideyoshi, a sandal bearer then, had to be remarkable in the Battle of Okehazama before becoming a samurai. Yasuke being an attendant doesn't automatically makes him a samurai. And we know this because six months later after meeting with Nobunaga, he still wasn't a samurai. And in the Shincho Koki, Nobunaga gave sumo wrestlers what he gave Yasuke but those sumo wrestlers weren't turned into samurai, Nobunaga's just generous like that.
He was not a samurai - he lived with a samurai. He was a slave that was presented to the daimiyo who then gifted him to one of the lord's samurai. That samurai kept him on as a sort of servant, and had him trained to be a swordbearer for the samurai, so that the samurai could have him around constantly to impress the daimiyo. That's every bit of record there is on him.
@@neonpyre7469 I never said he was a samurai, he just received the 3 things Samurai received. Also ya gonna defend the guy who is completely making up BS? Yasuke was at least a retainer and served Oda directly.
@tecnicstudios proof? Literally, just look up his name and see??? Besides the fact that right before he went dark on X, he admitted to just being an enthusiast and has relations with the Thomas who wrote the book they both keep referring to. "Sources? This guy right here" Well, what's his source? "Oh my book, of course." Thomas Lockley also just lost all his credentials after getting his career reviewed. Dude literally edited sources and then, in his book, referenced those edited sites as backup his book was true. You got both dudes claiming both of their sources are true because both sources they both made up say they are.
@@Sancsteq correction, they confirmed hes not a samurai, but also confirmed that he’s not, not a samurai, because otherwise, him having favorable treatment with the daiymo wouldn’t make sense if he didn’t have a retainer rank or something, the subject of yasuke is hotly debated in japan
No… he just wasn’t. He was in Japan for a few months tops, nowhere near enough training to become a samurai, and pretty much all historical evidence to the contrary has been debunked
The only time when realism going away is interesting is when it involves magic or sci-fi or giant monsters or gods. it doesn’t make the game any better if they change it from, “yasuke wasn’t a samurai” to, “yasuke was a samurai.” I am tired of this argument that just because it’s historical fiction, they can make any changes they want without people complaining. historical fiction is supposed to be accurate settings with extra stuff ADDED, not inaccurate settings with extra stuff added. with the other games, if you take away all of the sci-fi elements and all of the characters that didn’t exist in history, you get something that is 100% historically accurate. with this, if you take away all of the sci-fi elements and all of the characters that didn’t actually exist, you get something that is historically inaccurate.
How much did he charge Ubisoft for the service? Seriously historians in particular, you can get one to say anything. In the profession wacky new ideas are the currency.
Mate you are making us Scot’s look bad stfu and go do some research because you are wrong he was servant of Oda Nobunaga. He was only with Nobunaga for a period of 15 months between 1581 and 1582, during the Sengoku period, until Nobunaga's death in the Honnō-ji Incident.
@tecnicstudios so you're saying that because he got those things means he is a samurai, while the same "lord" who made it a precedent of making people samurai and documenting it just also happened to just not do it for him? You're just projecting your thoughts at this point
Dude, it was proven fake last week! The whole "yasuke was a samurai" story was invented by a dude that wanted to promote his alternative history book! 🙂
@tecnicstudios the guy is currently and literally being investigated by nihon University for "interpreting history" and as a historian that's not really your job, along side the government wanting to investigate for "altered history"
@mtnman8783 Stupid comment lmao. Wow, white characters in white mediums??? That's crazy. It's definitely the same thing as spitting on Japanese history by trying to pass off this fan fiction as real history.
Historians 'look there was one black dude in Japan history' Western corporations 'he was the source of the unification of Japan, the brains behind Nobunaga and the muscle too, a Samurai wearing armor that would be too lavish for anyone but a shogun'.
People in the comments: yes but people writing in kanji are telling me he's wrong who cares that 90% of them may not even Japanese I'll believe them before I believe an actual Japanese person with actual backgrounds and degrees Yes this is totally the haters right now they would believe all the people who let's be real are clearly using an English to Japanese translation to impersonate Japanese people over an actual Japanese person ya all make me sick 🤦
@@xenomorph733 well let's see since there faces are plastered on x right now and there mostly middle aged white dudes um yeah pretty much and UA-camrs are only out for views dude almost all of them lie they take a controversial subject get people worked up slap a noticable title on the video and boom instant views that's kinda how UA-cam algorithm works duh 🙄
@@xenomorph733 the only people who believe them are the ones who are refusing to see it all the proof is there people just need to look beyond there hate towards a company I honestly could care less if people hate this game that's there right but going as far as lying impersonating Japanese people and even making a petition just to try and force a cancelation when at one point it was number 1 pre ordered in Japan there by forcing your opinion on others who already spent there hard earned money on the thing I can't get behind any of that it's wrong and very disrespectful to the Japanese I mean here's a thought just don't buy the game like why is that hard to do why go this far it's stupid 🤷
@@xenomorph733 also the very 1st signature is in German if you go on way back machine you can see that meaning the Japanese are not even the ones who started the thing it was some fool in Germany and the top contributors are middle aged white dudes wearing kimonos and cosplaying 🤦

All previous AC games main characters are fictional with the race determined by location. Why did Ubisoft decided to focus on historical realism now?
@@1HeatWalk bruh everyone saying he wasn't a samurai ffs 🤣 which is it ? Realism or not ?

@@tecnicstudios "I didnt say that, I just made a comment that was for the video that was saying he was" okay pal
