I feel like this is a political topic and should be reported.
The issue isn’t that Yasuke is black or whether he existed or not. The issue is Ubisoft is saying “he is a real samurai” and is paying a bunch of journalists to push that narrative. (There is no document that shows he had an attendant or even that his skin was scrubbed, there is literally almost nothing about him except they were amused at his skin color, so he wasn’t even a retainer, most Japanese people don’t even know he existed).
This is revisionist history in the form of a game.
This is also a reflection of the real world where Asians get beaten up by blacks who rob them.
And this is also hypocritical in that they claim DEI but will never be inclusive of Asian Males. Only Asian females.

If they didn’t try to push the DEI, people probably wouldn’t care and just see it as Nioh, or even Afro samurai which most people liked.
