I thought this was a crippling failure because it was woke or something?
Yeah they put a black samurai in it. Of course the screeching ggamers were screeching about “historical accuracy “….. and then of course there was a story about a black samurai …. So they had to shut up
To be fair, yasuke never was a samurai. He was a bodyguard of a jesuit monk (I think?) and was sold to obu nobunaga because he thought he looked "funny". He was a trusted retainer under nobunaga, but never owned land or was a samurai.
Other people in his exact position were called samurai back then, at least that's what I've read around
I don't know about other people in his exact position. I do know, however, that in historical records, he was referred to as "suke" which means retainer, not "bushi".
