Nobunaga be like "hmmm I will take you on as a samurai retainer and troll the white supremacists centuries later epic style
"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlkzcreCKrU
I always think of this clip with Henry Cavil (first 40 seconds) for when Nobunaga finally accepts that Yasuke’s skin is actually black. Either that or he soyfaces and goes “😲 you’re the coolest guy ever!! You gotta try this! hands him a sword” Either way I like to imagine it like dudes rock.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Once again “historical accuracy” just means
and dudebro biotruths in 
use.One assassins creed game gets announced and suddenly thousands of pasty gamers who don’t know shit about anything turn into high scholars on 16th century japan, curious.
The people writing the history don’t understand that the only legit gaijin samurais are white guys from Iowa who ordered a $1000 katana online
They’ll be real disappointed to find out the best Katana are made by some guys in Longquan and not a Japanese blacksmith with 800 years of family blacksmithing history. At least for 1 grand you’re not getting a stainless steel wall hanger with no tang tho.
Spending a lifetime to learn to use the shittiest materials known to man to make something remotely useful seems like a great investment

It’s really annoying that a random videogame has made a pretty interesting historical figure into a culture war magnet. He was one of the first black people in Japan and was supposedly 6.2 ft tall, it’s not that surprising that Nobunaga decided to hire him.
HE WAS A DIVERSITY HIRE WHICH INVALIDATES HIS EXISTENCE AS A HISTORICAL FIGURE IN MY HISTORICALLY ACCURATE SWORD TREATS
Uhmm ackshually he wasn’t a samurai, he was just a retainer to the shogun who was given the weapons of office, traveled with his retinue, given residence, and fought with him. There’s a big difference.
Literally everyone that fought with swords in wars was considered a “samurai” during Yasuke’s time. These stormfront users are going by the earlier periods when samurai was a noble status rather than by the fact that as time went on it just came to mean everyone in the warrior class.
They would be correct if Yasuke had existed before the Sengoku period, which is when the term became vague. But Yasuke’s time as a samurai to Nobunaga was 1581-1582 which is firmly after the Sengoku period, making him definitively a samurai.
There’s a great Shogun-esque novel waiting to be written about Yasuke, with the same appeal of imagining the political intrigue surrounding a person who literally has nowhere else to go in the world (since he would return to being a slave)
Credit where credit is due, the goofy Nioh series of games had Yasuke
Where he was a giant axe wielding dude with a bear guardian spirit, it’s hype as fuck
So you’re telling me that Japan went woke in the 16th century??!!
White weebs seething that a black dude is more Japanese than they’ll ever be
acktchszchyually sweaty, we were samurais and stuff. Haven’t you ever watched Tom Cruz?
Why not read the comments? Reddit is full of interesting conversation.
A black samurai is just a normal samurai spraypainted black.
You joke but
Nobunaga also wanted to see him, and so sent for him, so Padre Organtino brought him. With great fuss, he couldn’t believe this was the natural colour and not by human means, so ordered him to take off all his clothes above his belt. Nobunaga’s sons also called him over, and everyone was very happy.
