here’s my birth certificate with sensitive information edited out
you can see the “father name” and where it says he was born at the bottom (which is GASP. Japan) https://t.co/fvDd6qGIT1 pic.twitter.com/4BbVAn8pBF
also none of that changes the fact that retainers were indeed samurai too. bye

Also...
This image is also from the 1850s. Again, two very different outfits, and very different eras.

Hi there. Tre Watson, B.A. Asian studies, focus on Japanese history.

Retainers were still samurai. Yasuke was favored by Nobunaga and was by his side until the Honnouji incident, where he ran to Nobunaga’s son’s residence and dueled the Akechi.
It’s real. Cope harder. https://t.co/UCctE6pXHq
Also Nobunaga was one of the first Japanese generals to embrace gunpowder and muskets. Yasuke, as his retainer, I’d assume would also be quite open to using it.

Thus him incorporating a “western style assassination method” of AC will be a nice contrast to the kunoichi.
Jin from Ghost of Tsushima fighting “dishonourably” by incorporating Mongolian fighting styles and using stealth literally turned the tide of the invasion.

Yasuke using “non Japanese fighting methods” would show how formidable he is as an assassin.
It all works lore-wise.
People so mad about Assassin's Creed historical accuracy of all things, fucking Assassin's Creed, Lmfao.
In the end they may not even be right, based on what I've read, I'd lean towards Yasuke was a samurai or a samurai in all but name but it's fucking Assassin's Creed where the Pope was a Templar and Queen Elizabeth worked with the Assassins. Game with a mythical extinct race of humanoids which we would essentially perceive as Gods, a game with Atlantis, a game where Leonidas had 2 grandchildren despite his lineage IRL ending with his son.
This reply made me laugh.
multiple of the replies are just jokes like "is that yasuke from tenkaichi?" or some other series. shout-out to this guy specifically though pic.twitter.com/rOVxBzA3Dn
