Hi there. Tre Watson, B.A. Asian studies, focus on Japanese history.
Retainers were still samurai. Yasuke was favored by Nobunaga and was by his side until the Honnouji incident, where he ran to Nobunaga’s son’s residence and dueled the Akechi.
It’s real. Cope harder.
Assassin’s Creed being based in Japan and then NOT using a Japanese male protagonist is stupid. We know exactly why they’re using Yasuke (THE MESSAGE) and it’s annoying. It would be as dumb as having it based in Africa and deciding to use a white male protagonist.

This made me so happy to see! I’ve known Patrick for years and he really is just the sweetest dude I’ve ever met and he takes pride in trying to be a better person today than he was yesterday. I’m so proud to call him my friend. I’m glad you got back home safely as well!!!

My take is similar. People only hate dubs because in Japanese they can’t tell the actors are WAY over-acting and ratcheting up dialogue to unrealistic levels of drama because they don’t speak the language.

I never see these complaints about media containing white samurai. Nioh gets a pass, and what’s crazier, Nioh was fictional. I wonder what the differ could be… /s

Also the point is that rudeus pre-reincarnation is an irredeemable waste of life. THAT WAS THE POINT. Him being reincarnated is a second chance to be better. And he does it! Like these people need to do better.

In feudal Japan, nobility (Samurai) were granted property. Yasuke was Nobunaga’s Retainer. He was given a sword and a house, and he was paid.
And when nobunaga was killed he rushed to defend his heir. Real life is not anime.

There are plenty that do. That’s my point. All I’m really saying is one isn’t better than the other, folks just think one sounds better because they don’t understand, so they clue into the over-acting and thing it’s better emotional delivery but it isn’t. Does that make sense?

Hey there GI.
Correct, there’s debate. However, most of the debate comes from discussions on the relevancy of the title during the Sengoku Era. By standards of the time he was, but as our understanding of samurai latches onto the Edo period definition more, he clearly isn’t.

Massive L take from Keef. Really fucking disappointing. Know where your money goes. JK Rowling actively puts her money towards endangering trans people. You are essentially loading a weapon with more ammo. Be smart with your dollars.
This Harry potter legacy discourse is so incredibly stupid. If you like harry potter, get the game. If you don't want to, don't get the game. But also, don't try and stand on some imaginative morale high ground, scoffing at people people who enjoy that franchise. That's weird.

Except in the Sengoku Period, the title/caste of samurai wasn’t really that established of a thing yet. This is also arguably a reason why there aren’t many writings specifically naming him one. Anyone who took up arms for a lord could consider themselves samurai.

I mentioned in a prior tweet but if you’re interested in Yasuke, I recommend Girard and Lockley’s book on Yasuke as an easy entry. There’s some whimsy and fluff in it for sure but that keeps it a less dry read.

It’s worse. The original specified it was a photo he took of a relative. The whole point of the prologue of the LNs is to establish that the main character pre death is a disgusting lowlife that no one should like or feel pity for.

There is truly no point in giving extra value to a job that does not value you. The one thing that I have learned in the industries that I have been in at this point is that these companies need you a lot more than you need them.

Not at all. You paid for a cosmetic and while you played you used it. That was the value, you got it. You knew what you paid for.
You don’t need to be able to resell it if you stop playing. That’s being mad that you can’t foist your financial decisions onto others after the fact

I don’t buy a car with the intention of trying to con some sucker into paying for it either. Cosmetic items are not things meant to accrue value. It’s a paid experience of having a cosmetic item. I buy games to experience having them. You should know, you paid for Twitter blue.

All I was gonna say is he’s reexperiencing a normal adolescence in a world where being 15 makes you a legal adult. There’s a lot of detail that explains why his behavior is not better, but also remember: Rudeus isn’t supposed to be some virtuous good guy, that wasn’t the point.

people too often forget that for a lot of people, content creation comes down to entertaining to feed families and keep the lights on.

More recent assassin’s Creed games I have apparently had a dual character focus where one is more based in stealth and one is more based in combat. Call me crazy, but somehow I don’t think Yasuke is the stealth character.
