Yasuke did not exist. Pasting a comment from u/Kaarous...
The sole argument for the existence of Yasuke is the Jesuit chronicles of their missions to Japan. Which were filled with nonsense and aren't taken seriously by most Catholics. Several of them were bloating their accounts in hopes of a bishopric.
Nobunaga never mentioned him in his own writings. Which given that Nobunaga would write poems about pretty much anything he laid eyes on, suggests that the two never met. The sole corroborating account stated that one of the missionary priests had a black servant, and they presented him as a curiosity to Nobunaga's court, but there is evidence of nothing else.
Here's another strain on historical credulity. Supposedly Yasuke fought for Nobunaga as a samurai. One of the claims is that he spoke fluent Japanese.
The time period between when they supposedly met and when Nobunaga was assassinated by Akechi Mitsuhide was... three months.
A black guy from what would now be Morocco, probably a slave to the priests, and someone whose language skills would have included mostly broken Portuguese, supposedly learned the second most difficult language on earth in three months. For reference, Japanese has three goddamn formal alphabets.
There is nothing about the story that is historically credible. There is more evidence of Santa Claus than there is of Yasuke. Now if you want a Japanese historical figure that is actually interesting and actually real, I suggest Honda Tadakatsu. He's a real life Hercules.
It wouldn't even necessarily need to be historically accurate but you know it's going to be shit and barely plausible because their writing is always shit. I don't even need to look at a trailer to know what the storyline is going to be. The black man is going to be a Portuguese slave who gets brought to Japan, the woman is going to be some poor oppressed servant who gets bullied by the evil Japanese men and then the two of them will eventually meet and team up to fight against muh Japanese patriarchy.
Oh and by the way, it will only be a few days of training but the both of them will magically acquire super abilities to take down hordes of samurai by themselves just by virtue of existing. The woman especially is going to be featured taking down giant men twice her size because backflips and somersaults.
These games aren't even worth hate playing anymore, the story is always predictable so that's never worth it. You also know that despite it being 'open world' the gameplay is actually linear as fuck and the open world is just tacked on for the sake of ticking boxes.
This is why I'm not even remotely interested in the new GTA game because it's going to be exactly the same and the retards who are 'making' it expect everybody to wait for 2027 and be hyped about it when you know they're just delaying as long as possible to keep collecting that ESG/DEI money. These people are shit at their jobs and it's really showing now, I would love to take a look at even a few snippets of their source code so I can laugh at them. A lot of these titles can barely be called games anymore.
