Considering how long Assassin's Creed fans haveꦅ been waiting for a game s🐠et in Feudal Japan, you'd think that there would be nothing but happiness when Assassin's Creed Shadows (168澳洲幸运5开奖网:formerly known as Red) was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:unveiled. That wasn't the case, though, as the reveal caused a lot of controversy a💟nd debate surrounding the game's use of Yasuke as one of its protagonists.
They Wouldn't Want An African Assassin's Creed Either
People are suggesting an Afri🐭can Assassin's Creed would be a better place for Yasuke, but they'd be making the same arguments if that's what we h🍸ad
Beyond the claim🥃s that Assassin's Creed was going "woke" for having a black protagonist, one of the big controversies surrounding the game is Yasuke's status as a samurai. Although it's been suggested for some time that Yasuke was a samurai, the sparse number of historical documents♊ about him have caused some to question that claim, especially now that he's st♔arring in an Assassin's Creed gﷺame.
A Japanese Historian Has Confirmed That Yasuke Was A Samurai In Real Life
Although it's not hard to figure out why many of those arguments are being made against Yasuke (I'm once again pointing to the "woke" claims), Yasuke's status as a samurai has become a hot topic over the last few months. It might be time to put the arguments to rest, though, as a Japanese historian with experience in the Sengoku period has argued in favourꦏ of Yasuke being a samurai.
The historian in question is Yu Hirayama, . In the post, as translated by Google, Hirayama said that even though there aren't many h🎐istoric𝄹al documents about Yasuke, there is "no doubt" that he was a samurai who served Nobunaga.
It seems like there's a lot of talk about Yasuke, a black man who served Oda Nobunaga. There are very few historica𒊎l documents about him, but there's no doubt that he was a "samurai" who served Nobunaga. Regardless of one's social status, if one's master promoted one𓆉 to the rank of "samurai," one could become one in medieval (warring states) society.
Hirayama says that this is certain because the historical documents state that Nobunaga gave him a stipend💝, a house, and a sword. Being given a stipend and serving Nobunaga apparently "closely fulfils the important requirements of a "contract between master and servant", while carrying a sword means that he wasn't just a servant, who historically weren't allowed to carry weapons.
Some have argued that Yasuke couldn't have been a samurai since he wasn't given a surname, but . Hirayama suggests that he might have been given one that wasn't confirmed in historical docuꦬments, and that his short time serving No🐎bunaga might be the reason it wasn't recorded.
