Yasuke roughly tꦏranslates to a useful slave servant born in spring. There is no record of Yasuke ever being in any battle or being bestowed the title of samurai. The lack of a family name (which is historically bestowed to those ascended to samurai status) is a pretty clear indicator that he never attained samurai status. He was however bestowed the right to carry a weapon. The historical records show that he was never a samurai, and was only in service to Oda Nobunaga for a few months as a retainer.

As much as legacy media woul𝕴d like to paint the realists as racist bigots, the real racism here is ascending a historical figure to a position they never held simply because the color of their skin would make a statement. DEI is also an extremely negative practice, as it leads hires to be ma♔de based on background and ideology rather than merit. This game and it's lack of competent research amongst other things is a great example of negative DEI impact.
