Yasuke: The Mysterious Black Samurai of Feudal Japan | Assassin's Creed Shadows Controversy

In this video, let's delve into the true history of Yasuke, who is said to have risen to prominence from a slave to a badass Samurai in Feudal Japan. Serving under the Feudal Lord, Oda Nobunaga, Yasuke received many privileges that were only given to Japanese nobles at that time. He is also said to have taken part in many battles and changed Japanese history forever

But how much of this is really true? There are certain people who say that Yasuke was nothing more than a weapon bearer or a slave to Lord Nobunaga, who kept Yasuke just to show off. There are also a few people who claim that Yasuke is not even real and is being used by companies like Ubisoft to push the woke agenda

Who's right and who's wrong? Was Yasuke even real? If yes, was he just a slave or a Samurai, skilled in Japanese arts of war? Was Ubisoft right to include Yasuke in Assassin's Creed Shadows as one of the main playable characters? Join me as I uncover all the historical sources that mention Yasuke and try to provide an answer to all these questions

If you find any mistakes within this video, don't hesitate to correct me. Comments from actual Japanese people who know their history are most welcome 🙏
