The word “retainer” was a rough translation from the Japanese word used to describe a Samurai lord’s “helpers”. Cooks, gardeners, regular infantry, and anyone paid a stipend by the Samurai lord were considered “retainers”.
So yes, Yasuke was a retainer. He was paid a stipend

Light hazing…
The guy said they were gonna string him up and let the vultures pick him apart when they got back and he told the scribes it was Maximus’s fault. The choice was let him die, stimpack him and the guy murders him, or has him executed when they got back.
That was

I’ve only watched the first 8 minutes and man… that was rough… TERRIBLE dialogue, shitty and slow fight choreography, dumb use of force powers, and Jedi Trinity saw the script and let herself be killed. Glad I pirated this and Disney gets no benefit from it lol.
@ac_landmarks
Looks slow and the “flashy” flipping looks pointless and awkward. Assassins should be quick and nimble. Just looks slow like past AC games.
@khaliltooshort
Yasuke should’ve been used as a DLC character where you meet him and he helps you. He then ends up joining the assassins and returns to Africa where his help is needed. Bam now you have him set up for the next game based in Africa.
@bunburyoudouuk
Goes way deeper than Wikipedia. I researched Yasuke back in 2013 when I was living in Japan. There was a coordinated change with Smithsonian, Brittanica, Wiki, and tons of articles from sites like Time and CNN after the “African Samurai” book came out in 2019. Shows and movies

@MightyKeef
“Literally fought”. Show me in Japanese or English historical text where it says he fought alongside Nobunaga. The only thing you’ll pull up is authors or historians *speculating* that he fought. The ONLY written passage stating he fought is after Nobunaga dies and Yasuke flees
@OrigiGreatness
It also proved how people will defend a company without understanding the issue at all.
It didn’t just affect players in the countries without PSN access. Many PC gamers have friends and family that they played Helldivers 2 with in the countries added to the ban list. It

She wouldn’t have had a life at all without Jack. No children, no future husband, nothing. She owed everything she ever had to him saving her.
@kabrutusrambo
Good video, but the actual issue isn’t Yasuke being in the video game. It’s that his history has been subtlety changed by western authors and sources like Brittanica/Smithsonian to make him more marketable. It’s a money grab and he’s been propped up as a “Legendary Samurai” for

The original post claims he achieved samurai status. He never did. If he did it would be taught in Japanese history, but they only briefly mention him in high schools in Japan. The same is taught there, he was a paid servant.

@MightyKeef
Was never given land. He was paid a stipend. All “helpers” working for a Samurai lord were given a stipend and a place to stay. If he was given Samurai status it would definitely have been written about. It wasn’t written because hit never happened.

Best thing would have been making Yasuke a badass non playable character that saves your ass and covers for you on many occasions. In history he basically disappears after Nobunaga dies, so Ubisoft could have used that as the beginning of his own AC game.
Set in Africa, he
@UniDaSensei
I lived in Japan for 8 years and nothing in their historical documents says he’s a Samurai. When you dig deep into this you find out that 2 guys wrote a book (African Samurai) and spun everything to make it sound like he received Samurai status. They cashed in on him by twisting

If there were flying bugs don’t you think we’d have seen them already? I’ve killed over 40,000 bugs according to ship logs (probably more due to ship network outages), and not a single one was flying without the help of a 500KG. Trust the data, trust the science!
@assassinscreed
Why did they make the Japanese Samurai look so weak and unskilled compared to Yasuke? He was there for 15 months under Nobunaga, had no training documented, and these guys have been training their whole lives. Make it make sense.

Sooo racism is dependent on who’s in power? So I can go to China and Africa and start spewing racists slurs and not be considered racist? Makes sense 🤡

Question. Have you watched gameplay and all the cinematics of the game yourself? Or are you just going off the one image from this post of the character? Or maybe you saw other posts with screenshots of the character at unflattering angles? Probably with the same clickbait

No no no, this is censorship and altering a final product. This is Sony giving into the same censorship and game altering methods used by SBI and companies like them. Giving them your money is saying you’re ok with them false advertising a game. If successful, what’s stopping
@KJovian
Never a Samurai. 400 years of unchanged historical data and Japanese/world historians never considered him a Samurai.
Fast forward. 2 Caucasian authors published a book in 2019 titled “African Samurai” where they *speculated* and interpreted everything to point towards Yasuke
@Rap
8/10. He was still toned down. It was like a few drops of the real Slim Shady. Video was 🔥 though. Nostalgia factor was 9/10. Hoping he gets all out on the album.

Stop hoarding all the unreleased armors and give us something to spend these hard earned super credits on! Tired of running around looking like every other Helldiver lol.

You’re wearing armor that is made of thin fabric against charging bull bugs, titans, and Hulk terminators with blade hands. Sleeves are the least of your problems.

I’m sure her ancestor had training and followed the ways of bushido. Which is what makes a Samurai a Samurai. There’s nothing written in historical documents that say Yasuke received any form of training or practiced the ways of Bushido (the code Samurai lived by).
If he did

@EndymionYT
He was never a Samurai. But this is a game so his story can be spun this way. Game will ultimately be what matters, and writing/dialogue of course.
@ac_landmarks
Hell yeah! Can’t wait to smash down walls, suplex 5’2” Japanese peasants, and send everyone flying with my baseball bat! Ubisoft really knows how to let you play as a Samurai without really feeling like you’re playing as a Samurai. Great stuff!

He wasn’t trying to distance himself from the issue. He was stating that the sales and distribution of the game doesn’t fall under his wheelhouse, so he’s naturally distanced from it. That’s like Sony selling Helldiver merchandise that ends up unable to ship to certain countries

Already read these articles years ago, and the “African Samurai” book. Entirely fiction other than Yasuke was an African man who traveled to Japan and worked as a paid servant. The rest is made up. Why? What’s going to sell better, African Samurai, or African paid servant?

SBI worked with God of War Ragnarok , Spider-Man 2, the upcoming Wolverine game, the upcoming Captain America/Black Panther game, and lots more. Other companies just like SBI are consulted with on many other AAA games. No one is boycotting all these games lol.

Firings? I heard you guys were actually hiring Helldiver players to QA test new content and give feedback on them. This is my official application for said job. Job experience -> Super Private/Military Experience 😎

Bro I honestly think rotten tomatoes and online reviews were weaponized against these movies. WB execs had a great product but listened to tomato “critics” instead of real fans. The psy op worked well. It works for everything online lol. Look at all the different sheep herds on
@Helldivers2HQ
The game doesn’t have long term player engagement/retainability in mind. Warbonds are kind of pointless when you’re fighting the same enemies other than 3 slightly different enemies they threw in. They need to shake things up because the longer the wait, the more disconnected

Diving through Japanese posts is very interesting. It’s definitely mixed but the majority I’ve seen aren’t very supportive of Ubisoft’s decision. More controversial for the West but Japanese people are calling it out as well lol.

I agree. So why is every game that had anything to do with SBI or related companies automatically labeled as “DEI boycott them” by this group?

Very interesting video if you want concrete facts and evidence. This guy also received emails from the author (Thomas Lockley) of “African Samurai” who is considered by many to be the leading expert on Yasuke. It should be known that 90% of that book is embellished and

Not sure what people are confused about. They’re not trying to please one side of the Star Wars fan base, they’re trying to replace it. This is what politics does. They own Star Wars. It’s theirs now. They want you disgusted with it while pleasing the fan base they want to keep

Are you aware that ugly characters and “normal” looking characters have existed in gaming for decades now? I haven’t seen a major studio CEO say what you just wrote.
Let’s say they wanted to “normalize uglier women in gaming” though. So? That means every AAA title won’t have
