@@askredditstudios8055 law of thermodynamics 2: a physical law based on universal empirical observation concerning heat and energy interconversions. A simple statement of the law is that heat always flows spontaneously from hotter to colder regions of matter (or 'downhill' in terms of the temperature gradient). Another statement is: "Not all heat can be converted into work in a cyclic process." The second law of thermodynamics establishes the concept of entropy as a physical property of a thermodynamic system. It predicts whether processes are forbidden despite obeying the requirement of conservation of energy as expressed in the first law of thermodynamics and provides necessary criteria for spontaneous processes. For example, the first law allows the process of a cup falling off a table and breaking on the floor, as well as allowing the reverse process of the cup fragments coming back together and 'jumping' back onto the table, while the second law allows the former and denies the latter. The second law may be formulated by the observation that the entropy of isolated systems left to spontaneous evolution cannot decrease, as they always tend toward a state of thermodynamic equilibrium where the entropy is highest at the given internal energy. An increase in the combined entropy of system and surroundings accounts for the irreversibility of natural processes, often referred to in the concept of the arrow of time.
Honestly I hate that Yasuke is in the game for 2 reasons: 1. Ubisoft was under a lot of hate for being super sexist not only towards women in their games (ie not showing them or marketing them and then claiming that “actually Kassandra was the main character” when she’s not even on the box) and to the women working there (like actually look it up it’s bad) and they cheapen having a female protagonist something that only ONE Ac game has had which was a psp game reported with AC 3 remastered. 2. Let me play as an assassin in my assassin game, Yasuke can’t be stealthy, has no hidden blade, he’s not an assassin. WHY CANT I JUST PLAY AS A SINGLE CHARACTER AND LET HER BE AN ASSASSIN

ALL the games were the same price (basically), they came on like a hard plastic box that you actually got to keep, and all you had to do was stick it into another box and it played perfectly. No down loading no system requirements no big crashes and glitches, oh and like no one came from the company to take the game back randomly after you paid for it. That was a nice time.
You got lucky, in the 90s games weren't price regulated, it cost me 70 dollars for sf2ce on genesis. I paid 65 for mario 64 but killer instinct gold was 80

@@Handle0108ghost of tsushima is literally what your describing and is a better at it most likely, if they have to resort to controversy to sell their games it’s already a bad sign and supposedly their stock dropped when the reveal came out
@@johngobble Ghost of Tsushima might be better cinematically and in terms of story, but it is an aged game compared to Shadows which is brand new 2024 with top notch graphics and quality which Ubisoft has put hundreds of millions into. Secondly, Assassins creed is much better when it comes to freedom and the expansiveness of the open world, whereas Ghost of Tsushima is more story driven, polished game and more restrictive in my opinion. The scale and freedom is not comparable to an Assassins creed. We can compIain about them all we want but we all know that when Ubisoft puts time and money into an assassins creed, it’s simply the best open world to experience any historical time period.
how is this even a controversy why is having a black character labelled trying to stir up controversy i hate ubisoft i dont even believe far cry 3 is a good game, but its just so weird that white characters are used in games of different cultures all the time, but using a black character is an attempt to stir controversy? like no

@@rachitgupta8345 its not having a black character that is ever the problem. Its whether or not it makes sense to have one. If you were making a movie in the modern age, you can pretty much put any race anywhere, but if you are making a peice teying to faithfully recreate history, you want to stick to apropriate demographics. Here its not actually an issue since there was documented evidence that it happened. But you wouldnt want to do something like have a black woman in nazi high command or have a native american in the dark ages of europe. It just wouldnt make any sense and it would obviously be an attempt to score extra points with meaningless "representation".
@@ghostprinceanubis3650yeah, according to Japanese history, since he was just a retainer, he didn’t do anything except do what the samurai said. Also regarding the price, if you took yen to dollars, that’s pretty accurate.
I feel bit bad for Yasuke. The guy went from slavery to serving a noble to watching his lords empire fall to being refused death by the enemy (stories conflict on that) to being the basis for the most ridiculous arguments. This isn't even the most ridiculous one.. you can find more insane arguments about him all over but the gist of those is some idiot going "The native Japanese were black!". Did he exist? Yes. Does that make him part of Japanese history? Yes. Is that disrespectful? No. Was he a samurai or just a retainer given a title like Ajin? Who knows for sure? Is he sourced enough to justify a TV series? Probably as much as Robin Hood was to justify movies. Do I trust Hollywood or Ubisoft to do him any justice? Defintely not.
@res6148 the person who was historical there is out of place... yeah sure... also he was a samurai Japanese historians like Kaneko Hiraku, even says he was. Japanese linguistics look at Ōta Gyūichi's records and note that he only speaks about samurai in certain way, he speaks about yasuke in this way... there is more evidence saying he was a samurai than not
It's going to be interesting how Twitter will react to the ending. Because in real life the dude ended up going back into slavery with the Portuguese. This is why having real historical figures as your ac mc is a bad idea.
Agreed. If the MC had MET Yasuke, it would've been fine, since the main character in every Assassin's Creed game always meets some real historical figures... but they've never been one because, guess what, they're meant to be the "Hidden Ones".
Really? I remember reading something different. I can't remember where I saw it, but my understanding was that after the death of Oda Nobunaga, he was sent to the Jesuits, but after that it wasn't known what happened to him.
His historical fate is actually unknown. He returned to the Jesuits, but after that the records get hazy. There’s plenty of room for them to say he went into hiding, either as a Templar or assassin agent. Not the first time it’s happened in assassins creed.
It’s crazy how yall complaining when Connor assassinated the 2nd president before he even became president clearly the Assassins Creed world doesn’t have the exact same history
@@sancholoaded2388 Uh dude, John Adams was the second President of the United States, and he didn't even appear in AC 3. His cousin, Samuel Adams, appeared as an ally to the Assassins, and was still alive by the end of the plot. The only person I can think of that you might be confusing John Adams with is John Pitcairn, a officer on the side of the British who famously died at the Battle of Bunker Hill (which is where Connor assassinates him in the story). You might want to check your facts before you post in the future.
Because those are people that we know too much about. Yasuke might be real but he kinda vanishes from history after nobunaga dies so its easy to make up what super secret stuff he gets into after.
Don't forget. Let's make them gay.... also, btw the historical evidence is against yasuke being a samurai. He was a retainer/bodyguard and entertainer who fought in one known fight. Also it takes around 8 years to become a samurai as training started when kids were around 8 years old and ended around 15 to 16 years old. Yasuke was only in Japan for 3 years and served as a bodyguard for 2 of those years.

@callnight1441 Okay then. Point us to an actual *historic text* describing him as a samurai. Not Wikipedia, considering Wikipedia has been getting flack for changing Yasuke's page in the wake of all of this. I'll provide my evidence to the contrary. Ahem: - Yasuke only lived in Japan for 18 months. Even if he had begun training the moment he came to Japan, he would never have had the time to officially complete the training *required* to become a samurai. - Yasuke did not have a surname. All Samurai, no matter what class they come from, are given a surname upon becoming a samurai. It was a sign of honor and status, and let people know they were important people. - Yasuke has been listed in numerous texts as nothing more than a retainer, a person who carried Nobunaga's weapons for him off of the battlefield. This was a duty typically reserved for children, not full-grown men. -By the time Yasuke was reported to have arrived in Japan with the Jesuits, Nobunaga had retired from the battlefield. He would have no need to ever see a battlefield.

@@thatnevelguy4466 They're fighting on the Wiki page for Yasuke, there's four major groups, the first two are the flame war groups, which were in an edit war until admin confined them to the discussion page, and then there's the actual history nerds and historians trying to peacefully correct things. Sadly it seems he wasn't actually given the rank of Samurai, which sucks, i always thought he was. Some of the highlight of this incident are: both sides comments getting torn apart and redacted with (personal attack removed), edit wars devolving into things like "It's commonly believed that he was a white Christian man", something i won't actually quote that included racist remarks relating to his belonging to a certain agricultural industry(yes, that one), and a Reddit sub that's a failed circlejerk(failed in that no one is circlejerking it up, or it's an incredibly racist, homophobic, transphobic space that just sucks at sarcasm and seems to appreciate those groups legitimately when they actually hate them) which is actually just an echo chamber for what I'll just sum up to being anti-gamergate gamers trying desperately to make out like he was a Samurai despite a lack of evidence, seemingly simply because of the 'chuds' they prefer to side against. Grab some popcorn, pull up a seat, and watch as Wikipedia admins and legitimate users try to fight fires and calm down a fight between reddit and 4chan being waged on Wikipedia. Honestly hats off to them, they're doing a great job all considered, never see this well moderated arguments on social media. Edit: Also, in hindsight, seeing as he was associated with Oda Nobunaga, i don't see why anyone would covet association like that, Nobunaga was one of the worst genocidal god complex maniacs in history, he was usurped mainly not for greed/gain/hunger for power, but rather because his generals were sick of being forced to engage in mass genocides, beheading women and children. His generals were so terrified of him they lied about losing a war with Korea because everyone was too afraid too be the one to break the bad news, which went on until a confused peace negotiation with Chinese ambassadors where both sides thought the other were surrendering. He was so well known as a piece of shit before he actually rose to power that as soon as he inherited the title from his father, one of his head advisors commited seppuku as an act of protest, something that was usually done when you were going to die anyway, and instead of the well known version where someone is there to cut your head off as soon as you stab yourself, he just opened his stomache and sat there, waiting to die. Granted he was comming from a pretty shitty life, but this is like escaping slavery to be Hitlers personal attendee. Not something to be proud of.

@joemungin9104 he was literally in Japan for sum total of 15 months. He couldn't even speak the language. Westerners are revising history by claiming that he was Samurai, and people at the time recognized him as such
@@toastiboi7618 I just went to an AI and asked it the following word for word - "Is there any historical evidence that Yasuke was anything more than a slave and a retainer? I only care about historical evidence and not interpretative editorial opinions." The answer was No. There is no such evidence. He arrived in Japan as a slave and was taken by Nobunaga as a retainer (a low-ranking servant or page). There is no sources from the period that define him as samurai or mentioning that he achieved this high warrior status. He was explicitly addressed not as a samurai but as a retainer (again - a type of low rank servant).
@@GeorgiKolev85 He was 100% not a samurai. Its so funny to me that even wiki trys to bend history whenever some controversy props up. They make stuff up as they go.
For the records of him, not much exists, he became a retainer.. but I guess more in title. Idk if he was a warrior or a assistant. The length of time under oda was short. with assassin's creed if I was picking first I would look for time gaps and personal strife. Yamamoto Kansuke, would have been a better match, or even sakamoto ryoma. Both had solo points in there history where the story could have been woven in.
no one know if he was definitively a samurai or not. there are points that lean towards saying that he was but there's not enough definitive sources to explicitly state that he was. samurai as a term used in the sense that we do now was after his time. we need more information to state that he was or that he wasn't. best answer we have currently is we do not currently know. more information is needed.
Thanks to inflation, $99 in 2016 is $130 in 2024. In that sense, the price is pretty much at par. Just to throw in an example, The Digital Deluxe version of Fallout 4 was $90 in 2015. And the version that came with the wearable Pip-boy was $120, which is almost $160 in 2024 money. That said, what you get in an "ultimate edition" these days is far from worth it. The pip-boy was probably mostly paid with marketing budget rather than its sales, but those are the things I miss. Now it's like "if you pay $30 extra you get access 3 days early, and a weapon that makes the game super easy for a portion of the game". No thanks, I'll use that money to buy pizza and snacks instead.
In Brazil the ultimate edition will probably be around R$:650 to put into perspective our minimum wage is R$: 1400 They are asking for you to pay half a minimum wage for the game in Brazil..all that for the "ultimate, platinum, dragon Ball with Dante from DMC edition 7 part 2 rebirth, with Beta acces- I mean...early access! Master Samurai edition!"
I mean, most average people probably thought he was some menacing figure. From what i know, dude was a giant in real life. Thats probably why people consider him a samurai. Samurai were probably even intimidated by him.
Also, i think he was given the title of samurai being the first foreigner to be named such. He started out as a servant to an italian jesuit, but then lord Oda Nobunaga asked to meet him. Literally because theyve never seen a black man. Oda literally had his men wash yasuke because he thought ink was all over his skin.
Every samurai was a servant whitie. And being a sword bearer was an important position in literally ever martial culture, especially Japanese. And the fact he got kicked out instead of killed is why Ubisoft picked him. Yasuke appears for a year, Nobunaga dies, and then the person who killed him let's Yasuke go. It's a great story to play with.
Every other ac title had correct characters to represent their era. If they wanted they could've done assassin's creed:Africa and people would be cool with it. The way ubisoft pushes for yasuke is for the sake of WOKE not some other bs. People wants to play japanese character in a game that sets in feudal Japan. Lead writer of this game loves BLM bs so much she had to do this story.
In 16th-century Japan, the title of samurai spoke to rank and was loosely defined as a warrior in the service of a lord or another warrior. the smithsonian magazine.
Don't let any of this distract you from the fact that being an assassin is a direct violation of the Samurai code of ethics, so the fact that any of the characters are Samurai is fucking stupid.

Actually he survived after the battle cuz enemies treated him like an animal and wouldn’t kill him because of that. Funny how ubisoft tries to clear everything about real story of Yasuke. In reality he was just a regular slave, used as a clown for the Emperor (or whoever this guy who owned him was)
I wish Ubisoft understood that charging a normal price will give them more money instead of forcing me to getting the "Jack Sparrow edition" like when I was a penniless child.

law of thermodynamics 2: a physical law based on universal empirical observation concerning heat and energy interconversions. A simple statement of the law is that heat always flows spontaneously from hotter to colder regions of matter (or 'downhill' in terms of the temperature gradient). Another statement is: "Not all heat can be converted into work in a cyclic process."
The second law of thermodynamics establishes the concept of entropy as a physical property of a thermodynamic system. It predicts whether processes are forbidden despite obeying the requirement of conservation of energy as expressed in the first law of thermodynamics and provides necessary criteria for spontaneous processes. For example, the first law allows the process of a cup falling off a table and breaking on the floor, as well as allowing the reverse process of the cup fragments coming back together and 'jumping' back onto the table, while the second law allows the former and denies the latter. The second law may be formulated by the observation that the entropy of isolated systems left to spontaneous evolution cannot decrease, as they always tend toward a state of thermodynamic equilibrium where the entropy is highest at the given internal energy. An increase in the combined entropy of system and surroundings accounts for the irreversibility of natural processes, often referred to in the concept of the arrow of time.
Honestly I hate that Yasuke is in the game for 2 reasons:
1. Ubisoft was under a lot of hate for being super sexist not only towards women in their games (ie not showing them or marketing them and then claiming that “actually Kassandra was the main character” when she’s not even on the box) and to the women working there (like actually look it up it’s bad) and they cheapen having a female protagonist something that only ONE Ac game has had which was a psp game reported with AC 3 remastered.
2. Let me play as an assassin in my assassin game, Yasuke can’t be stealthy, has no hidden blade, he’s not an assassin. WHY CANT I JUST PLAY AS A SINGLE CHARACTER AND LET HER BE AN ASSASSIN
and its funny because being an assassin is something girls would be arguably better at than guys like blending in or squeezing in small spaces

@@johngobble Ghost of Tsushima might be better cinematically and in terms of story, but it is an aged game compared to Shadows which is brand new 2024 with top notch graphics and quality which Ubisoft has put hundreds of millions into.

The scale and freedom is not comparable to an Assassins creed.

This isn't even the most ridiculous one.. you can find more insane arguments about him all over but the gist of those is some idiot going "The native Japanese were black!".
Did he exist? Yes. Does that make him part of Japanese history? Yes. Is that disrespectful? No. Was he a samurai or just a retainer given a title like Ajin? Who knows for sure? Is he sourced enough to justify a TV series? Probably as much as Robin Hood was to justify movies. Do I trust Hollywood or Ubisoft to do him any justice? Defintely not.

It is said that he was a sword bearer and not a Samurai. It doesn't matter because as much as I like inclusivity, this character feels out of place.
@res6148 the person who was historical there is out of place... yeah sure... also he was a samurai Japanese historians like Kaneko Hiraku, even says he was.

Agreed. If the MC had MET Yasuke, it would've been fine, since the main character in every Assassin's Creed game always meets some real historical figures... but they've never been one because, guess what, they're meant to be the "Hidden Ones".
Really? I remember reading something different. I can't remember where I saw it, but my understanding was that after the death of Oda Nobunaga, he was sent to the Jesuits, but after that it wasn't known what happened to him.

I'll provide my evidence to the contrary. Ahem:
- Yasuke only lived in Japan for 18 months. Even if he had begun training the moment he came to Japan, he would never have had the time to officially complete the training *required* to become a samurai.
- Yasuke did not have a surname. All Samurai, no matter what class they come from, are given a surname upon becoming a samurai. It was a sign of honor and status, and let people know they were important people.
- Yasuke has been listed in numerous texts as nothing more than a retainer, a person who carried Nobunaga's weapons for him off of the battlefield. This was a duty typically reserved for children, not full-grown men.
-By the time Yasuke was reported to have arrived in Japan with the Jesuits, Nobunaga had retired from the battlefield. He would have no need to ever see a battlefield.

"But you get access to all the bonus content we arbitrarily removed from the complete experience! You gamers are so entitled these days!"
It’s not $130. The game is $70
@@thefalsekingslayer3717it's 70$ for a half-baked game because they put the other rest behind day one dlc for 130$ that we all know should've been included in the base game
Why do u kids keep saying this is the game price? It's 70$ like every triple a game nowadays lil bro😂😂😂😂😂😂 I wish it was 130$ so I could hear u kids whine some more cs your mommies are not abt to get u a 130$ game 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
While I most certainly argued about this with people, I definitely did not forget that price tag lmfao
69.99? Like every game?
This is why I have patience with most AAA games, especially Ubisoft. I’ll just get the complete ultimate edition in a couple years when it’s $15, if I get it at all. I’ll be too busy with the PC edition of Ghosts of Tsushima to get the 15 year too late Samurai AC.
@@masonmarlatt15yes, 69.99 for a half baked game. 130 for the rest of the stuff that should be in the base game.
Yusuke isnt a samurai but a kosho a sword bearer basically a servant to oda nobunaga
all samurai were servants to their liege lords… what is your point?
So a slave?
Retainers were samurai
@@nikolaisheremetev885 So as janitor to a Soldier, They are the same right?
Tell me historian. Was it custom for servants to get paid and receive houses from their lords?
honestly a game about a black samurai sound cool as shit, as long as the gameplay is good

@@Metalizationer that's what I've seen 🤷♂️
Oh boy have you seen the Man or a bear in the wild rage bait? That is going on for weeks and content creators are making ash like crazy
@@thatnevelguy4466 They're fighting on the Wiki page for Yasuke, there's four major groups, the first two are the flame war groups, which were in an edit war until admin confined them to the discussion page, and then there's the actual history nerds and historians trying to peacefully correct things.
Sadly it seems he wasn't actually given the rank of Samurai, which sucks, i always thought he was.
Some of the highlight of this incident are: both sides comments getting torn apart and redacted with (personal attack removed), edit wars devolving into things like "It's commonly believed that he was a white Christian man", something i won't actually quote that included racist remarks relating to his belonging to a certain agricultural industry(yes, that one), and a Reddit sub that's a failed circlejerk(failed in that no one is circlejerking it up, or it's an incredibly racist, homophobic, transphobic space that just sucks at sarcasm and seems to appreciate those groups legitimately when they actually hate them) which is actually just an echo chamber for what I'll just sum up to being anti-gamergate gamers trying desperately to make out like he was a Samurai despite a lack of evidence, seemingly simply because of the 'chuds' they prefer to side against.
Grab some popcorn, pull up a seat, and watch as Wikipedia admins and legitimate users try to fight fires and calm down a fight between reddit and 4chan being waged on Wikipedia. Honestly hats off to them, they're doing a great job all considered, never see this well moderated arguments on social media.
Edit: Also, in hindsight, seeing as he was associated with Oda Nobunaga, i don't see why anyone would covet association like that, Nobunaga was one of the worst genocidal god complex maniacs in history, he was usurped mainly not for greed/gain/hunger for power, but rather because his generals were sick of being forced to engage in mass genocides, beheading women and children. His generals were so terrified of him they lied about losing a war with Korea because everyone was too afraid too be the one to break the bad news, which went on until a confused peace negotiation with Chinese ambassadors where both sides thought the other were surrendering. He was so well known as a piece of shit before he actually rose to power that as soon as he inherited the title from his father, one of his head advisors commited seppuku as an act of protest, something that was usually done when you were going to die anyway, and instead of the well known version where someone is there to cut your head off as soon as you stab yourself, he just opened his stomache and sat there, waiting to die. Granted he was comming from a pretty shitty life, but this is like escaping slavery to be Hitlers personal attendee. Not something to be proud of.
Without this dude I would have never started and caught up with One Piece. Genuinely can’t express how grateful I am, what a journey.. absolutely blew me away, took me a season or two to properly get going but when it clicked I just couldn’t stop watching. Literally sprinting home from work to get as many episodes in as I could. For that time I was truly happy, all because of a guy on a UA-cam short convinced me to start a show about pirates.
Insane ❤
Cool story bro
But what about the black samurai?
Same man. I'm not that far in, but it's rlly cool so far. Ussop and Kuro really got me interested, and sanjis looking so cool too. It's people with a passion like you who make me excited to keep watching, thanks man 💪

Even when or if AC dies it will still be my favorite game series.
If they wanted a black main character, all they had to do was an assassin's creed set during the boer or zulu wars.
Or..... do what they did.
We already had two black main characters in Liberation and Freedom Cry.
It's a self fulfilling prophecy! They're already arguing over the bad, overpriced game!!
A Zulu assassin would be sick af they better do that sometime

Plot twist Yasuke was a weapons bearer and not documented being an actual samurai
He was, he served oga nobunaga
@@Ex-memegodita as a retainer, not a samurai
@@Zetpherious who cares? This is a fictional game. Has Odyssey not taught us they dgaf about historical accuracy lol
@@Zetpherious Retainers we're still samurai. They were given land instead of just living on their Lord's. Yasuke was even favored by the Lord he served.
@joemungin9104 he was literally in Japan for sum total of 15 months. He couldn't even speak the language. Westerners are revising history by claiming that he was Samurai, and people at the time recognized him as such
i like how Yasuke isn't even a samurai but a servant
All sources I’ve seen say he was
Edit: unless I only found articles from people who didn’t actually know what they were talking about
@@toastiboi7618 I just went to an AI and asked it the following word for word - "Is there any historical evidence that Yasuke was anything more than a slave and a retainer? I only care about historical evidence and not interpretative editorial opinions." The answer was No. There is no such evidence. He arrived in Japan as a slave and was taken by Nobunaga as a retainer (a low-ranking servant or page). There is no sources from the period that define him as samurai or mentioning that he achieved this high warrior status. He was explicitly addressed not as a samurai but as a retainer (again - a type of low rank servant).
@@GeorgiKolev85 He was 100% not a samurai.
Its so funny to me that even wiki trys to bend history whenever some controversy props up. They make stuff up as they go.
For the records of him, not much exists, he became a retainer.. but I guess more in title. Idk if he was a warrior or a assistant. The length of time under oda was short.
with assassin's creed if I was picking first I would look for time gaps and personal strife.
Yamamoto Kansuke, would have been a better match, or even sakamoto ryoma. Both had solo points in there history where the story could have been woven in.
no one know if he was definitively a samurai or not. there are points that lean towards saying that he was but there's not enough definitive sources to explicitly state that he was. samurai as a term used in the sense that we do now was after his time. we need more information to state that he was or that he wasn't. best answer we have currently is we do not currently know. more information is needed.
Let’s be honest tho if they never had yasuke and just gave us a sexy shinobi woman people would be on it like flies
I want to go back to the good old times where the ultimate editions of AAA titles were only 99 bucks
Thanks to inflation, $99 in 2016 is $130 in 2024. In that sense, the price is pretty much at par.
Just to throw in an example, The Digital Deluxe version of Fallout 4 was $90 in 2015. And the version that came with the wearable Pip-boy was $120, which is almost $160 in 2024 money.
That said, what you get in an "ultimate edition" these days is far from worth it. The pip-boy was probably mostly paid with marketing budget rather than its sales, but those are the things I miss. Now it's like "if you pay $30 extra you get access 3 days early, and a weapon that makes the game super easy for a portion of the game".
No thanks, I'll use that money to buy pizza and snacks instead.

@@usarhabilidade2697 wow
A servant. Black servant who carried sword for a lord and got kicked out of the country the moment his master died.
I mean, most average people probably thought he was some menacing figure. From what i know, dude was a giant in real life. Thats probably why people consider him a samurai. Samurai were probably even intimidated by him.
Also, i think he was given the title of samurai being the first foreigner to be named such. He started out as a servant to an italian jesuit, but then lord Oda Nobunaga asked to meet him. Literally because theyve never seen a black man. Oda literally had his men wash yasuke because he thought ink was all over his skin.
A servant...to the shogun, like anyone 3lse. Yasuke was part of Oda Nobunaga's (the ruler of Japan) retinue. Check your sources.
Every samurai was a servant whitie. And being a sword bearer was an important position in literally ever martial culture, especially Japanese. And the fact he got kicked out instead of killed is why Ubisoft picked him. Yasuke appears for a year, Nobunaga dies, and then the person who killed him let's Yasuke go. It's a great story to play with.
Every other ac title had correct characters to represent their era. If they wanted they could've done assassin's creed:Africa and people would be cool with it. The way ubisoft pushes for yasuke is for the sake of WOKE not some other bs. People wants to play japanese character in a game that sets in feudal Japan. Lead writer of this game loves BLM bs so much she had to do this story.
" I just looked this up on Wikipedia💀"
Probably true
In 16th-century Japan, the title of samurai spoke to rank and was loosely defined as a warrior in the service of a lord or another warrior.
the smithsonian magazine.
Very very likely
Bro just exposed these guys like its his normal 9 - 5 💀
Don't let any of this distract you from the fact that being an assassin is a direct violation of the Samurai code of ethics, so the fact that any of the characters are Samurai is fucking stupid.
Oh fr, XD u prob just found the biggest loophole
True, kinda the whole point of ghost of tsushima.
@@VoidScythe And also why Ghost of Tsushima is so much more fun than Assassin's Creed in Japan could ever be. You see a Samurai at his lowest point from the perspective of the shogun and Lord Shimura, but from the popular perspective of the people of the island, you see a new hero, one that can't be called a Samurai, but nonetheless is a hero to the people
@@dysphoria_1.040 It Shows the 2 conflicts, one with the protagonist and monoglia, and one with the protagonist and himself because he in a way forbidden to him

You give Ubisoft WAAAAAY too much credit man.
Really! All it comes down to and what most you guys don’t seem to realize are that companies are beholden to their shareholders. Shareholder expect companies to be beholden to their ESG scores.
All the bullshit these companies tend to do has nothing to do with the company itself. Their hands are forced. Everyone’s hands are forced in the corporate world.
When people say the hate corporations, what they really should say is that they hate the top 5 investment companies that own the planet and that are worth literally trillions of dollars.
It boggles my mind why we all don’t talk about it. They are worth more than most countries.

bugisoft: CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE HIRED
Yasuke in his "big fight" (Honnō-ji Incident) there are no records of him fighting and his lord (Oda Nobunaga) was betrayed and forced to commit suicide and for those who don't know a samurai should die with it's master or do seppuku to restore his honour, so yeah basically yasuke ended up as a Ronin or a dishonourable peasant; but we will never know because there are no records of yasuke after the last letter to Luís Fróis thanking god that he was alive.
i heard that yasuke surrendered in the battle and got expelled from japan, after that he got lost in history
Actually he survived after the battle cuz enemies treated him like an animal and wouldn’t kill him because of that. Funny how ubisoft tries to clear everything about real story of Yasuke. In reality he was just a regular slave, used as a clown for the Emperor (or whoever this guy who owned him was)

I wish Ubisoft understood that charging a normal price will give them more money instead of forcing me to getting the "Jack Sparrow edition" like when I was a penniless child.
Also, they forgot that a lot of countries in the world are not in Europe or in North America
In Brazil the platinum extra (random shenanigans edition) of this game will be more than HALF THE MINIMUM WAGE, they want us to spend that much IN A UBISOFT GAME
Look, there are a lot of countries that have an even worse economy than us, it is pretty ironic they are putting a black a samurai to represent black people, too bad that most countries in Africa are too poor to play their "diversity" and feel empowered! Because Ubisoft is so generous...
(Before anyone says, at least in Brazil Ubisoft games are ALWAYS full price, if you want a discount wait some weeks for the investors feel desperate enough to lower the price)
