for the people whos counterpoint is that the games were historically inaccurate becauses its an assassin game, please understand prior to Origins and mostly Odessey, the characters were based around the actual events or involved in events. History was not altered, most assassination targets were fictional characters, and the ones that weren't were assassinated around the same time the actual historical figured "died" "So and so passed away due to sickness" Ingame: poisoned because he was secretly a templar TL;DR Historical figure? You could bundle all the history about this man and it would only amount to a fun fact. He was kept around to be paraded as an exotic prize by Oda because he found him interesting and enjoyed talking to him despite the guy barely knowing the japanase language. After Oda was killed he was reenslaved and sent back to the jesuits and everything is up in the air beyond that point. He had no impact on the events during that time let alone anything significant to be considered HISTORICAL.
Please do your research and look up what a retainer is. It is basically samurai. He was a soldier servant who wielded a katana and lived in Japan during the feudal era. It’s so simple dude.
Also this is verifiable by time magazine, the Brittanica, and History extra online who did actual research on this for years… so please, who’s being indoctrinated?
He was a retainer, not a Samurai. He spent a grand total of 14 months in Japan. Makes so much sense to make a game about someone who spent 14 months in Japan instead of making it about someone who actually was a samurai.
@@sorarockss93it's because he's black. These mfkers had zero problem with historical accuracy until it's about a literal dude that lived in Japan.. in fact if the story was about a Japanese native who's had the same story, these dude wouldn't have any problem. But because he's black suddenly it's impossible 😂😂😂
Just FYI Yasuke was never a Samurai. He was granted the title of Kushō. He was indeed a retainer to Oda Nobunaga like many Samurai but he was never given this distinction in his historical record. It a pretty amazing story really.
You know that this is a videogame, with a fictional story, right? You know that artists are allowed artistic freedom. Yes, Yasuke was a Retainer in real life. But this is a video game. Can you understand that?
@SnapFiction No they weren't. All Samurai were Retainers but not all Retainers were Samurai. Its not a rank its a title of responsibility. It just means vassal. The only title Yasuke has Ever been recorded having was the title of Kosho, which is a page or squire.
@@SnapFiction No. They were not. Only those that were bestowed the honor of being a Samurai by the lord were Samurai's. You know, like British have Knighthood and how not just a random footsoldier is Knight the exact same way a random retainer is not automatically a Samurai. It is an title.
@@svenskhund3603 Wrong. The first part makes no sense. If all Samurais were retainers, then all retainers were samurais. Retainer is just a rank like captain, corporal, etc. are ranks. According to a quick search on the internet, "A retainer refers to a vassal in feudal Japan, usually a samurai providing military services." and "Yasuke (弥助 or 弥介) was a man of African origin who served as a retainer to the Japanese daimyō Oda Nobunaga..." prove that he was indeed a samurai. You didn't do your homework on this one.
@@Kira121086Yasuke was a real person in that period of Japan and was given a Japanese name. Besides, you get to play as a Japanese character, too. Everyone seems to just be ignoring her
うそ (lies)! Yasuke was never a samurai, he was only ever a servant of Nobunaga at best. And what a slap in the face to the Japanese people to make half of the main character duo, in the most homogeneous country in the world at the time, not even of their own race. There are dozens if not hundreds of Japanese heroes and Ubisoft picked one that isn't even Japanese.

@nathanconnolly395 we don't know what went down with Yasuke, all we knew was he served under Oda so stop acting like you have factual evidence on a person
Yeah, literally the entire theory comes from a letter mentioning him that contains a Japanese honorific for a Samurai. It was not even clear in that letter who it was targeted at.
He is. He was "annointed" by Nobunaga himself. And you're gonna refute that, don't tell me your source is Wikipedia... Because anyone can edit any information on that site anytime.
@@s.c.6499 His official rank was "Sword retainer" which often gets generalized as a Samurai. If anything he was more of a Squire for Nobunaga carrying around his weapons
@@s.c.6499 He wasn't, he was annointed a retainer, retainer didn't only mean Samurai. A retainer was anyone who declared their allegiance to a lord. All Samurai were retainers, but not all retainers were Samurai. There's literally no actual evidence he was ever a Samurai other than the fact that at some point he had a sword. There's pretty much no concrete information on him, it's not even 100% confirmed he was even black as most of the information about him is based upon descriptions of other people referencing him.
Let me make something clear: It is verifiable that Yasuke was a Retainer (a servant soldier that holds a katana and military status which was a branch of samurai that dressed and fought incredibly similarly so he was basically a samurai,) on Time Magazine, the Brittanica, History Extra, and many many other reliable history sites. Please do your research. This is incredibly simple.
Yasuke was never a samurai. You know I've noticed there's a lot of media about to come out about Yasuke and none of them are even close to getting the story right.
Japan has admitted that alot of Yasuke history was altered by the traditionalist who disdain Oda radical decisions as foreigners was often ostracized. Actually research it enough to the point that Google translate is necessary, then your getting the pure historian take.
@@brandon_jens6620 He wasn't this kind of samurai though. He wasn't fully recognized. He was made a personal bodyguard so Nobunaga could show him off like a pet. He wasn't in full armor in the midst of battles.
@@brandon_jens6620 Retainer doesn't automatically mean samurai, or were the people who kept Oda's home clean Samurais? All Samurai's were retainers not all retainers were samurais.
Yasuke was an African man who came to Japan around 1579 with Jesuit missionaries. He met the warlord Oda Nobunaga, who was impressed by Yasuke's appearance and strength. Nobunaga made Yasuke a samurai, giving him a residence and a ceremonial sword. Yasuke served Nobunaga until Nobunaga's death in 1582. After that, Yasuke's fate is uncertain, but he was likely captured and then released. Although he started as a servant or bodyguard, Yasuke was indeed a samurai.
No he wasnt he was a retainer. He was more like a pet. "impressed by Yasuke's appearance and strength" yes, tall black man. The only one in Japan. Or at least most japanese people have never seen a black man before. Thats why he was kept close to be shown off like an antique vase or painting. Read the wikipedia that has been sourced with hundreds of different books and historians instead of making stuff up. Dont take the crap on reddit as actual facts.
@@ben_bennet Yasuke was genuinely a samurai for several reasons: 1. **Historical Respect**: Contemporary Japanese writings show Yasuke was admired and respected, not treated as a novelty. 2. **Samurai Status**: Oda Nobunaga gave Yasuke a residence and a ceremonial katana, clear indicators of samurai rank and status. 3. **Nobunaga's Openness**: Nobunaga, known for his progressive views and acceptance of foreign influences, valued Yasuke for his strength and loyalty. 4. **Unique, Not Mocked**: While Yasuke’s appearance was unique, he was not mocked but rather integrated into Nobunaga's retinue. 5. **Loyalty Over Ethnicity**: In 16th-century Japan, Nobunaga prioritized capability and loyalty over ethnicity, allowing Yasuke to rise based on merit. Thus, evidence strongly supports that Yasuke was a true samurai, respected and honored, rather than merely a servant or novelty.
The only article that says he wasn’t a samurai is Wikipedia, which is where im guessing you got this info. In the 16th century samurai loosely referred to rank and was a warrior who served a lord, and as a lord’s personal bodyguard he was very much a samurai
And this tell me you google your facts and accept what confirms your beliefs. Instead of looking into historical text, as Yasuke history was heavily omitted by the traditionalist that disdain him. This argument always gives me a deep sense of dejavu.
Sadly in real historical, Yasuke never become a samurai because at the end he was sold to jesuits, if he really become a samurai, after Nobunaga's fall he should commit seppuku or Harakiri. "Death before Dishonored."

@@thephoenixking1828 so lying about another country's history is okay
for the people whos counterpoint is that the games were historically inaccurate becauses its an assassin game, please understand prior to Origins and mostly Odessey, the characters were based around the actual events or involved in events. History was not altered, most assassination targets were fictional characters, and the ones that weren't were assassinated around the same time the actual historical figured "died"
"So and so passed away due to sickness"
Ingame: poisoned because he was secretly a templar
TL;DR
Historical figure? You could bundle all the history about this man and it would only amount to a fun fact. He was kept around to be paraded as an exotic prize by Oda because he found him interesting and enjoyed talking to him despite the guy barely knowing the japanase language. After Oda was killed he was reenslaved and sent back to the jesuits and everything is up in the air beyond that point. He had no impact on the events during that time let alone anything significant to be considered HISTORICAL.
yasake never became sumari!
Yes thank you
Why does that even matter?
he was a retainer, and did the role of a Samurai in every way possible
@@guigo6892 And so did many others. Many who never also got the title of Samurai... Why? because their Lord didn't bestow it to them...
Again Yasuke was a retainer not a samurai, stop getting indoctrinated by fiction writers from a greedy AAA game dev.
Please do your research and look up what a retainer is. It is basically samurai. He was a soldier servant who wielded a katana and lived in Japan during the feudal era. It’s so simple dude.
Also this is verifiable by time magazine, the Brittanica, and History extra online who did actual research on this for years… so please, who’s being indoctrinated?
Hope it doesn’t make you play side quests for xp’s so that you can beat the boss
Yasuke was historical a jester not a samurai.
He was a retainer, not a Samurai. He spent a grand total of 14 months in Japan. Makes so much sense to make a game about someone who spent 14 months in Japan instead of making it about someone who actually was a samurai.
And Ezio didn't even exist but no one is hating.
then u dont really know alot about him. as a kosho he is still a samurai because kosho is a type of samurai.
@@sorarockss93it's because he's black. These mfkers had zero problem with historical accuracy until it's about a literal dude that lived in Japan.. in fact if the story was about a Japanese native who's had the same story, these dude wouldn't have any problem. But because he's black suddenly it's impossible 😂😂😂

He was a retainer. Not a Samurai.

Splinter Cell!? The nerve, you guys knew about Techu right!
So we totally forgetting about the Prices and whatnot, Got it
Just FYI Yasuke was never a Samurai. He was granted the title of Kushō. He was indeed a retainer to Oda Nobunaga like many Samurai but he was never given this distinction in his historical record. It a pretty amazing story really.
You know that this is a videogame, with a fictional story, right? You know that artists are allowed artistic freedom.
Yes, Yasuke was a Retainer in real life.
But this is a video game. Can you understand that?
Yes but retainers were a rank held by Samurai
@SnapFiction No they weren't. All Samurai were Retainers but not all Retainers were Samurai. Its not a rank its a title of responsibility. It just means vassal. The only title Yasuke has Ever been recorded having was the title of Kosho, which is a page or squire.
@@SnapFiction No. They were not. Only those that were bestowed the honor of being a Samurai by the lord were Samurai's. You know, like British have Knighthood and how not just a random footsoldier is Knight the exact same way a random retainer is not automatically a Samurai. It is an title.
@@svenskhund3603 Wrong. The first part makes no sense. If all Samurais were retainers, then all retainers were samurais. Retainer is just a rank like captain, corporal, etc. are ranks. According to a quick search on the internet, "A retainer refers to a vassal in feudal Japan, usually a samurai providing military services." and "Yasuke (弥助 or 弥介) was a man of African origin who served as a retainer to the Japanese daimyō Oda Nobunaga..." prove that he was indeed a samurai. You didn't do your homework on this one.
False! he never became a samurai get your facts straight.
He was a retainer which is a type of samurai
Hattori Hanzo must be crying and rolling on his grave
Assasin's Creed franchise is dead after Unity
He was a sword bearer. He cleaned swords, not a samurai.
At this rate ubisoft should just bring back Splinter Cell to the modern era

do the comments here get actually moderated or why is no one crying about yasuke like on twitter?? if so thanks ign
うそ (lies)! Yasuke was never a samurai, he was only ever a servant of Nobunaga at best. And what a slap in the face to the Japanese people to make half of the main character duo, in the most homogeneous country in the world at the time, not even of their own race. There are dozens if not hundreds of Japanese heroes and Ubisoft picked one that isn't even Japanese.
Cope about it
Dude speaks for Japanese people lol.
He was portrait as a samurai in many other games developed by Japanese studios. Stop crying
He was never a samurai

@nathanconnolly395 we don't know what went down with Yasuke, all we knew was he served under Oda so stop acting like you have factual evidence on a person
Yasuke was never confirmed to be a Samurai.
Yeah, literally the entire theory comes from a letter mentioning him that contains a Japanese honorific for a Samurai. It was not even clear in that letter who it was targeted at.
He is. He was "annointed" by Nobunaga himself.
And you're gonna refute that, don't tell me your source is Wikipedia... Because anyone can edit any information on that site anytime.
@@s.c.6499 His official rank was "Sword retainer" which often gets generalized as a Samurai. If anything he was more of a Squire for Nobunaga carrying around his weapons
@@s.c.6499 He wasn't, he was annointed a retainer, retainer didn't only mean Samurai.
A retainer was anyone who declared their allegiance to a lord. All Samurai were retainers, but not all retainers were Samurai.
There's literally no actual evidence he was ever a Samurai other than the fact that at some point he had a sword. There's pretty much no concrete information on him, it's not even 100% confirmed he was even black as most of the information about him is based upon descriptions of other people referencing him.
@@s.c.6499what's your source? Google?
Ya just fyi people not a real samurai nor are they even sure if he was African.
The great unifier was Tokugawa not nobunaga. Nobunaga is generally seen as the worst ruler Japan had during the sengoku jidai
Let me make something clear: It is verifiable that Yasuke was a Retainer (a servant soldier that holds a katana and military status which was a branch of samurai that dressed and fought incredibly similarly so he was basically a samurai,) on Time Magazine, the Brittanica, History Extra, and many many other reliable history sites. Please do your research. This is incredibly simple.
Yosuke was never a samurai for Nobunaga but " Historical accuracy " has lost is weight in AC
yes because the Apples of Eden were a real thing in history
@@disappointment_loaf6102even then, Yasuke was kosho, literally a samurai
sounds like Hayato and Mugen, Shadow Tactics anyone?
Wasnt Yasuke kept as a pet by Oda and become like a maid?
Splinter Cell stealth. Now you’ve got my interest, Ubisoft.
Yasuke was never a samurai. You know I've noticed there's a lot of media about to come out about Yasuke and none of them are even close to getting the story right.
Retainer = samurai
retainers were LITERALLY samurai 💀💀💀
Japan has admitted that alot of Yasuke history was altered by the traditionalist who disdain Oda radical decisions as foreigners was often ostracized.
Actually research it enough to the point that Google translate is necessary, then your getting the pure historian take.
@@brandon_jens6620 He wasn't this kind of samurai though. He wasn't fully recognized. He was made a personal bodyguard so Nobunaga could show him off like a pet. He wasn't in full armor in the midst of battles.
@@brandon_jens6620 Retainer doesn't automatically mean samurai, or were the people who kept Oda's home clean Samurais? All Samurai's were retainers not all retainers were samurais.
He was real but he was not a bloody Samerai so go cope and seethe while doing what Ubisoft tell you to.
Bro cares now when there is a black guy but not when there was a white guy in shogun
@@agent-a7818 what Shogun are you referring to? A game or TV show? Wouldn't like a white Samerai either, Japanese are the only Samerai.
Yasuke was an African man who came to Japan around 1579 with Jesuit missionaries. He met the warlord Oda Nobunaga, who was impressed by Yasuke's appearance and strength. Nobunaga made Yasuke a samurai, giving him a residence and a ceremonial sword. Yasuke served Nobunaga until Nobunaga's death in 1582. After that, Yasuke's fate is uncertain, but he was likely captured and then released. Although he started as a servant or bodyguard, Yasuke was indeed a samurai.
No he wasnt he was a retainer. He was more like a pet. "impressed by Yasuke's appearance and strength" yes, tall black man. The only one in Japan. Or at least most japanese people have never seen a black man before. Thats why he was kept close to be shown off like an antique vase or painting. Read the wikipedia that has been sourced with hundreds of different books and historians instead of making stuff up. Dont take the crap on reddit as actual facts.
@@ben_bennet Yasuke was genuinely a samurai for several reasons:
1. **Historical Respect**: Contemporary Japanese writings show Yasuke was admired and respected, not treated as a novelty.
2. **Samurai Status**: Oda Nobunaga gave Yasuke a residence and a ceremonial katana, clear indicators of samurai rank and status.
3. **Nobunaga's Openness**: Nobunaga, known for his progressive views and acceptance of foreign influences, valued Yasuke for his strength and loyalty.
4. **Unique, Not Mocked**: While Yasuke’s appearance was unique, he was not mocked but rather integrated into Nobunaga's retinue.
5. **Loyalty Over Ethnicity**: In 16th-century Japan, Nobunaga prioritized capability and loyalty over ethnicity, allowing Yasuke to rise based on merit.
Thus, evidence strongly supports that Yasuke was a true samurai, respected and honored, rather than merely a servant or novelty.
@@Realmichaelphoenix he was a retainer not a samurai.
@@ben_bennet The same wikipedia that’s been edited 100+ times in the past week to fit your shitty narrative? ok 👍🏻

Yasuke wasn’t even a samurai he was a retainer get your facts right
Retainers were often samurai. Get your facts right.
The only article that says he wasn’t a samurai is Wikipedia, which is where im guessing you got this info. In the 16th century samurai loosely referred to rank and was a warrior who served a lord, and as a lord’s personal bodyguard he was very much a samurai
A retainer is literally a class of samurai

Instead of looking into historical text, as Yasuke history was heavily omitted by the traditionalist that disdain him. This argument always gives me a deep sense of dejavu.
It literally says on wikipedia there’s not a single source that says he achieved samurai status ever.

Wait, so that really is Yasuke! And shadows affect stealth, this game is going to be great.
flagged as misinformation.... he was not a Samurai, he was a servant...
Bro we haven’t even gotten any gameplay yet💀
Sadly in real historical, Yasuke never become a samurai because at the end he was sold to jesuits, if he really become a samurai, after Nobunaga's fall he should commit seppuku or Harakiri. "Death before Dishonored."
