Japan has the right to protect their culture from western game devs.

Discriminate against black people→no good Discriminating against Japanese people→ no problem By Political correctness

日本人だけど、今回の件署名したわ。 理由は本当に販売中止を求めたからではなく、あくまで意思表示が目的。ちゃんと怒ってるぞっていう。 別にゲームで黒人が主人公の侍になろうが、日本人を殺しまくってようが別に構わん。それくらいじゃ日本人怒らん。 問題は弥助が侍だったことを史実であるかのように描写してること。もちろん日本でも世界の偉人がアニメに出てきて美少女化することはある。けど誰もそれを史実だ、なんて言わない。皆フィクションだって認識してるから。 なら弥助が侍であることをフィクションとして描写・説明してくれ。史実と勘違いしてる人が多いし、ゲームがそれを助長してるのが良くない。 たかがゲームに怒りすぎって意見あるけどそうじゃない。日本の文化や歴史が軽く扱われてるから怒ってるんだ。侍や忍者はフリー素材とでも思ってるのか?UBIは あと10年以上アサクリやってた日本人から意見すると、なんで日本人男主人公をオミットしたんだ。せっかく日本舞台のアサクリ楽しみにしてたのに。黒人だからじゃないよ?外国人にしたのが残念なポイント。 日本語で、かつ長文申し訳ない。 ホントは英語で書きたかったんだけど、英語で書いたら「日本人じゃない」とか「botだ」って言われるの嫌でわざと日本語で書いてる。 こういう否定的な意見言うと差別って言われるのなんなん? ホントに多様性があるなら嫌だって意見も認めてくれるじゃないん?

We Japanese don't care if the characters are black or female or anything else in video games. Of course, if we don't like it, we just don't play it. We're angry because Ubi keeps saying that this crazy representation of Japan in video games is historically correct.

Remember many of those who are defending Shadows are the same people who are attacking Resident Evil 5 by saying it's racist.

Japan probably has the most protected freedom of expression in the world, and the Japanese are proud of that. Therefore, ordinary Japanese people rarely interfere with creative activities. This protest is not simply due to the fact that Japanese people are angry. If the fabrication that Yasuke is a legendary samurai spreads as if it were true, there is a danger that other Nobunaga-themed works will be forced to include Yasuke. Furthermore, there may even be demands to have black samurai appear in stories about the Warring States period in general. I am not overthinking this, as there have already been calls for the inclusion of black samurai in the TV drama "Shogun. In other words, the Japanese protest this time is also aimed at protecting the creative freedom of other works. 日本は、おそらく世界で一番表現の自由が守られており、それを誇りに思っています。 ですから、日本人は本来、創作活動に対して干渉される事も、する事も嫌います。 今回の抗議活動は、単純に日本人が怒っている事だけが原因ではありません。 もし、弥助が伝説の侍などという捏造が事実であるかのように広まってしまうと、他の信長をテーマをした作品に弥助を登場させるよう強要される危険性があります。さらには、戦国時代の物語全般で、黒人侍を登場させるような要求まで出るかもしれません。 既にテレビドラマ「将軍」において、黒人侍を出すよう要求する声が上がっていたのですから、私の考えすぎでは無いでしょう。 つまり今回の日本人の抗議は、他作品の創作の自由を守ることが目的でもあります。

UBI continues to insult Japan UBI's development team referred to Yasuke as "our samurai" and said in an interview, "We were looking for someone who could be our non-Japanese eyes. The "we" does not include Japanese. Furthermore, in an interview with Video_games, the director of AC Shadows answered questions about beheadings, etc. with "So looking at death was a day-to-day occurrence in that period, and the way most people died in Japan during that time is clean decapitations." and other answers. Beheadings in this time period are only an act to prove one's merit in war or execution, and beheadings in the streets are neither meaningful nor necessary. The video released by UBI for the Japanese market had Chinese subtitles. The video itself has been withheld from the public, but the information has already been spread. Don't use Japan as a subject if you don't even understand Japanese. These are just a few examples. Anyone who criticizes UBI is a racist, they say. UBI is the racist, not us Japanese. UBIは日本を侮辱し続けています UBIの開発陣は弥助を「私たちの侍」と称し「日本人ではない私たちの目になれる人物を探していた」とインタビューで答えていた 「私たち」の中に日本人が含まれていない 更に『Video_games』インタビュー記事にて、ACシャドウズのディレクターが斬首などに関する質問に対し、「当時、死を目の当たりにすることは日常茶飯事でしたし、当時の日本ではほとんどの人が首をきれいに切られて亡くなっていました。」などと答えていた この時代における斬首は戦での手柄を証明する為の行為か処刑ぐらいなものであり、町中での斬首はする意味も必要性もない UBIが公開した日本向け映像に中国語字幕があった。 映像自体は非公開となったが既に情報が拡散されている 日本語もわかってないのに日本を題材にするな これらはほんの一部です UBIを批判する奴は差別主義者だと彼らはいう 我々日本人ではなくUBIが差別主義者だろ

Normally, Japanese people don't make a fuss about "fake Japanese power games made by foreigners with fake black samurai." Many Japanese will accept the game regardless of whether the protagonist is black, white, or of another race. Even if Yasuke, a black samurai, is the main character, Japanese do not see it as a problem if it is fiction. However, the problem is that the game is supposed to be released as "You can study Japanese history." Even disinformation that has already been distributed is believed to be true and is being further promoted. For example, a black man named Yasuke existed, but there is no evidence in Japan that he could become a samurai. Yasuke, a black man, is not well known in Japan unless he is very familiar with history, and even in feudal Japan, fights and beheadings in the streets are not common. There is a lot of other false information. If the Japanese don't speak up now, they'll be triumphant that the veracity of Ubisoft's claims of Assassins Creed Shadows is “a true historical fact because so many Japanese people acquiesce. ”. Yasuke, a black samurai, exists only in fiction, and Ubisoft's image of the samurai is not authentic and insulting to Japanese. 普通、日本人は「外国人が作ったニセ黒人のサムライが登場するニセ日本風パワーゲーム」で騒ぐことはないだろう。 ゲームの主人公が黒人だろうと白人だろう、他の人種だろうと多くの日本人は受け入れるでしょう。 黒人侍の弥助が主人公であってもフィクションであれば日本人は問題視はしない。 しかし、問題はこのゲームが「日本史の勉強ができる」として発売されることになっていることだ。すでに配信されている偽情報でさえ、真実と信じられ、さらに喧伝されている。 例えば、弥助という黒人は存在したが彼が侍になれた証拠は日本には存在していない。 黒人の弥助は日本では余程歴史に詳しい者でない限り知名度はない。 封建時代の日本といえど街中での戦闘や斬首は一般的にあり得ない。 他にも嘘の情報が盛りだくさんだ。 いま日本人が声を上げなければ、Ubisoftの主張するAssassins Creed Shadowsの真実性は「多くの日本人が黙認しているから本当の歴史的事実なのだ」と彼らは勝ち誇ってしまうだろう。 黒人侍の弥助はフィクションの中にしか存在しないし、Ubisoftが主張する侍のイメージは日本人から見れば本物ではなく侍に対して侮辱的だ。

今回の件でわかったのはUbisoftは「多様な文化は大切！お前ら以外は」って考えてること

"Based on historical facts." If they had not said this, it would probably be accepted by many Japanese people. If it was based on historical fact, Yasuke should not have been a samurai. In addition, the natural scenery, the customs of the people, the buildings, the etiquette, and so on all had to be faithfully recreated. What has infuriated Japanese people even more is that Yasuke's Wikipedia page was defaced in relation to the game, and Ubisoft officials have silenced criticism from Japanese people. As part of their anti-discrimination efforts, they use black people as protagonists in games set in Japan, but at the same time, they actively discriminate against Japanese people. In particular, silencing criticism from Japanese people and using flags from Japanese works without permission can be said to be clearly discriminatory. However, many people, including those at Ubisoft, dismiss what we say as Japanese, calling it racism against black people. In order to allow black people, who have been treated badly until now, to flourish, Asian people are now being made to suffer badly. This is nothing short of a distorted form of social justice. Sorry for my poor English, but I hope I can convey what I want to say to you.

I'm honestly done with this franchise... They actually did a triple racist move with the last two trailers: 1. Trap/Rap theme when fighting as Yasuke 2. Dishonorably chopping Japanese people's heads off as a "samurai"... Actual samurai had a code they followed. 3. Making every citizen bow to him... Jesus Christ, are Ubisoft that mentality deranged ???

歴史を捻じ曲げ自らのしたい世の中にしようとする、UBIのしていることはテンプル騎士団と同じだ

6:00 The difference in relation to Nioh is that William Adams was ACTUALLY a samurai who served under the Tokugawa rule, he is mentioned in many historical documents and represented in several portraits of the time that prove his presence in Japan. He is well known by the Japanese , and that's why it's easy to adapt a story where he's the protagonist. Now, compare that to Nobunaga's toy retainer, which people barely know about in Japan, which has almost no historical reference, and which is being used exclusively for browny points?

UBI made a lot of mistakes in the game, not only in the depiction of Yasuke, but also in other aspects of Japan. And they advertised it as "created under the supervision of experts" and "a game about history". UBI, please don't lie. Where are the experts? Because the depiction in Shadows is very strange from a Japanese point of view. Cherry blossoms in spring and persimmon fruits in autumn seem to be on one screen. Yasuke starts writing calligraphy from the bottom of the scroll, for example. There are many basic mistakes. Hence, Japanese people understood that UBI did not want to depict Japan in Shadows. They just wanted to show a black man as a samurai and advertise it as "historical fact" using the word "expert". In actual historical fact, Yasuke was a baggage handler. He did not play an active role that would have his name in the historical record. He was a slave of a missionary, but because he was black, Nobunaga took a liking to him, and later he was captured by Akechi Mitsuhide at the Honnoji Incident and later returned to the missionary. Various works in the past have used Yasuke as a model, but none of them claimed to be "historical fact. They were released with the awareness of fantasy. They did not infringe on history or start a war on wikipedia. UBI is trying to turn the whole thing on its head based on Lockley's "fiction". Don't be swayed by UBI's strategy by saying it's just a game. UBIはゲーム内で弥助に限らずそれ以外の日本に関する描写も散々に間違えました。 そしてこれを「専門家の監修のもとにつくった」「歴史にまつわるゲーム」と宣伝しました。 UBIは嘘をつかないでください。専門家はどこに？ なぜならシャドウズ内の描写は日本人からみて違和感がすごくあります。春の桜と秋の柿の実が一画面にみえたり。弥助が習字を巻物の一番下から書き始めたりする映像など。基本的な間違いが多いです。 故に、日本人は「UBIはシャドウズで日本を描きたかったわけではない」というのを理解しました。黒人が侍になっている様子を見せ、それを専門家という単語を使って「史実だ」と宣伝したかっただけなのです。 実際の史実だと弥助は荷物持ちでした。史料に名前が残るような活躍はしていません。宣教師の奴隷であったけど黒人であった為に信長に気に入られ、その後の本能寺の変で明智光秀にとらえられ、その後宣教師のもとに返された。その間わずか15ヶ月。 過去様々な作品が弥助をモデルにしてきましたが、そのどれもが「史実」だと言い張ったりはしなかった。ファンタジーの自覚をもってリリースされた。それらは歴史を侵害したり、wikipediaでの戦争は起こさなかった。 UBIはロックリーの「小説」に基づいて全てをひっくり返そうとしている。 たかがゲームだといってUBIの戦略に流されないで下さい。

Assassin Creed game will go down as one of the most disrespectful games ever to a culture.

I with Team Japan and I signed the petition

この問題を取り上げてくれてありがとう御座います。私達日本人は捏造の歴史を認めません 最初からフィクションですと言うなら問題は無かった これは史実と言うUBIに怒りを覚えます。この問題をしっかり解説してくれてるEinfach japanishさんの動画を見てください。この問題の本質が分かります。

As a Japanese, I don’t hope black people to be attacked racism comments in that petition. That petition is only about Ubi's rude action. I wish western people understand Japanese purpose for it.

日本は今まで被害が少なかったから黙っていたが、今回は一線を越えた。全力で意思表示をする。 俺たちが普段大人しいからと舐めた態度のUBIは許さない。絶対に後悔させてやる。

ただこれをフィクションだと言えばいい このゲームは史実に忠実であり、プレイすれば歴史を学べるなどと喧伝しなければそれでいいのだ とても簡単なことだ それさえ守れば弥助が空を飛ぼうがかめはめ波で闘おうが誰も文句を言わないよ

このゲームに日本人が怒っている理由は、あらゆる点において日本について不勉強過ぎるから。すなわち日本に対して全く敬意が無い思考・姿勢に怒っているのです。

In regards to Nioh, that game was created by a Japanese company. They have more leeway in who to make their main character look like because it is THEIR culture. Ubisoft is making this game to appropriate Japanese culture. So two completely different games when it comes to intentions.

我々日本のゲーマーは、無視されようが、煽られようが、成り済ましと罵られようが、粛々と行動するのみ。日本の先祖が紡いできた歴史を侮辱したことを後悔するまで、俺達の怒りは収まらない。

Japanese people don't think that a petition will stop the release. They are doing this to express their intention to protest the lie that Japanese people are not angry due to UBI, and the fabrications and mistakes in the game.

Someone brought this up in another comment section but i agree with this "the same people who argue that the new assassins creed game is not problematic are the same people who clamed ghost of tsushima culturally appropriated japanese culture"

日本人が創作物にここまでキレるの珍しいよ。史実を元になんて言うからだよ。例え歴史を再現出来なくとも嘘は許さない。

Japan knows what's up 💪 Keep holding the line, everyone!

「日本人男性が主人公として選べない」これに言及してくれたことはとても意味があるし、感謝したい。トレーラーが公開されてからしばらく経った今は史実通りか否かという議論が過熱しすぎて、主人公の人種・性別の問題が薄れそうになっている。 日本人としてUbisoftは絶対に許さない🔥

Thanks for covering a topic. As a Japanese, I thank you！ Many of the Japanese who signed the petition did so knowing that there was little chance of preventing the film's release. We protested not that "UBI" features a "black" protagonist, but that it misrepresents many cultures and histories, yet professes to be "historically accurate" without any basis whatsoever, even those who protested against the unauthorized use and commercial exploitation of copyrighted footage, Somehow this was accused of racism. Japanese who protested against UBI were blocked, their voices were not heard, and they were accused of racism. If one commented critically on the video, one was called a "racist white man pretending to be Japanese," and conversely, a lie was spread that the Japanese were not angry but happy, a lie that ignored the opinions of the Japanese people. By expanding this signature campaign, we want to show that "Japanese" are angry at UBI's "cultural and historical fabrications," "disregard for Asia," and "cultural invasion through fabrications. Deeple Translation

There is historical evidence that Yasuke was employed by Nobunaga. There is also historical evidence that when Nobunaga lost to Mitsuhide, he was told that ``Yasuke is an animal that doesn't know words'' and was allowed to live. Do you think the person who was called a ``speechless animal'' was a samurai?

Now UBI needs to make a game set in South Africa around the early 1800's during the Ndwandwe - Zulu wars with a Japanese General.

署名してきました。 今まで日本のエンタメ界で弥助はロマンと魅力のある人物でした。しかし、今回UBIの一件により日本エンタメ界で弥助は腫れ物扱いのフィクションとして扱いづらい人物になってしまったと思います。 UBIやその後ろにいると言われている人達はどこまで我々日本人や黒人の方々を侮辱すれば気がすむのか.... 本当に怒りを覚えます。

All gamers should boycott it

Its nice to see japanese gamers call this crap out Like the rest of us based gamers How would you like it if in kingdom hearts 4 they replace sora with a bland boring black keyblade wielder. Its ridiculous Don't just shove diversity dei bs in our games Let us have fun games that make us feel good again

I'm also one of those people that is white and is obsessed with Japanese architecture and Gardens. I also feel that I get along better with Japanese than my own people. I also like the set up of their cities and prefectures.

まあ今回の件、ゲーム自体は他のアサクリ作品より売れるかも知れんけど、ここで署名活動なりして"日本史を知ってる人(外国人含む)はブチギレとる"というのを示さんと、後世に"UBIは一部界隈からの妨害を受けたけどアサクリシャドウズは成功を収めた"という事実しか残らんからね。 あと、実際にゲームがリリースされたあとで現時点よりもどれくらい間違いが多く見つかるかは注目してる。この流れだと間違いは全部"日本文化軽視の結果だ"と言われると思うね、まあUBIとその取り巻きメディアは頑張ってくれ。

Knowing these people. They will double down. They did it with Saints Row Reboot. And look at Volition now. All my support to the Japanese. With all the things you guys have provided to make us happy. You don't deserve this treatment. F*ck Ubisoft.

It's hard to get Japan this mad. I wonder if the company feels the heat, or if they're too far up their own rearends.

I’m Japanese. It's strange that Yasuke is a samurai. He is no more than a servant. Explain the historical background of Japan and the existence of materials. A time when farmers and merchants carried swords, and there was no definition of samurai. It would be unreasonable to define him as a samurai just by holding a sword, and in the first place there is no material that treats him as a samurai. Regarding materials related to Yasuke, the only primary source is the Jesuit Japan Annual Report, which may have been written in later years, and the Ietada Diary, Nobunaga Ki, and Nobunaga Kouki are considered secondary sources. And there is no information that Yasuke was a samurai. Moreover, one year after he served Nobunaga, the Honnoji Incident occurred and he was returned to the missionaries, so he had no time to learn about culture and political strategy. Even if he were given a position, he would not be a samurai who would wear armor and fight or participate in politics. I want you to stop bullshit.

Thank you for bringing this topic up. No matter how loud we raise our voices, there is no sound to our voices and no one can hear them. We have no physical form, and even if we express it in writing, we are called bots and ridiculed. We believe that those here can hear us and see us. Please lend us your strength. Please don't make us invisible.

In before journos accuse all of Japan of being racist and not knowing their own country’s history

Yasuke does not bring anything to the table unfortunately. We know his real story and we know that he has no relationship to do with Japanese culture. That's why it doesn't fit in the AC lore. The fans wanted a true Japanese samurai to play as, that can relate to the culture and the environment of Japan, a connection to the culture and people of Japan. Not a tourist. Nioh is a fantasy game. Never claimed to be historical.

I’m not buying from Ubisoft agin, I’m done with them. Remember fellow gamers vote with your wallet.

Yep Mel. It's like I said, if you want a good AC like combat and traversal, Ghost of Tsushima is the best one for you.

Standing with the Japanese, I signed the petition.

I prefer the plot that the original writer had in mind for Shadows. A Japanese monk discovers a plot to bring harm to his land, so he sets out to stop them only to meet the Assassins and learn of the Templar order; he trains with the assassins and uses skills that he has learned from monks. If we had this plot nobody would be complaining. But Kim Belare and her cronies from Sweet Baby Inc are involved there for we get what is coming out.

As an asian, I look forward to not buying the game and be called a bigot, ist or whatever by the crazy woke.

I'm Japanese I often see comments in English that say black samurai actually existed. Why don't I get a reply when I ask for evidence? what do they believe? 私は日本人なのですが 黒人侍は実在したという英語のコメントをよく見かけます 証拠を求めると返信がこないのはなぜでしょうか？ 彼らは何を信じているのでしょうか？

ちなみに怒っているのはゲーマーだけでなくなってきています。これは、日本国内でゲーマー以外にも少しずつ問題が知れ渡っているからです。 俺が思うに、日本人以外でこのゲームに怒ってくれてる人は、このゲームの弥助よりよっぽどサムライの魂を持っているよ。

I want Ubisoft to announce an Assassin's Creed game set in 19th century South Africa. Let people know the playable character will be a Zulu chief, then reveal it's John Robert Dunn; A British diplomat accepted into the Zulu nation and made a chief with his own land.

I’ve been an Assassin’s Creed fan since the first game. I’m not giving You Be Soft my money on Shadows.

Never was a black samurai, ever. Make noise Japan,, we got your back here in the West.

Is a shame because the stealth looks awesome. I think they should cancel the game and take another Year. Take out the guy and the girl and create ONE Japanese guy with a good revenge story and that's it.

Can someone please tell me how can you make a game about assassins in Japan and not make the main character a NINJA?

The worst thing is that UBI says Yasuke was a great samurai, and the demo play smashing a huge club is no samurai fight at all.

It’s going to be funny to see how western gaming “journalists” are going to try to spin this situation.

As a puertorriqueño mix of 3 races I agree with Japan 🇯🇵 Therefore; I signed the petition. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

DEI, Destroying Everything Intelligent.

this reminds me of how netflix blackwashed Cleopatra and pissed off the Egyptians

Diversity wouldn’t be a big deal if we weren’t being force fed this crap at every turn.

なんか色々とKZfaqのコメント見て来たけど。 日本人コメントや日本人擁護コメントのに1番早く反応してるのが必ず否定派なんだよね。 botかな？火消し要員の方かな？ ご苦労様です。 この問題がどうなろうと私は一人の日本人として歴史を捻じ曲げるUBIやSBを許すことなく追求し続けて参ります。

This is great, Japan sees through bullshit and is insulted with what Ubisoft is doing!

A black man samurai was hard to accept back then at the time and it is still hard to accept even now. Ubisoft needs to respect culture and shouldn't push for woke agendas. This wasn't accepted back in History and it is NOT acceptable even now.

AC Shadows is an Insult to Japanese people, soI'll probably going to support that petition, also Yes I love Asian products, actress, singers etc.

UBI:The next new game takes place in Japan and features a black samurai! The story is entirely fictional! Japanese:Ok.Gonna be fun! UBI:The next new game takes place in Japan and is modeled after a real-life great black samurai named Yasuke, and faithfully depicts Japanese history. You will learn a lot about Japanese history in this game! And then they release a game with a messed up historical background. Japanese:NANI the f＊＊k!?!?!?!?

Absolutely ridiculous!Everything is gay.stop it already!

I’m sure there’s plenty of African history that Ubisoft could have used to create an African protagonist for a new AC game. Perhaps a Zulu tribe assassin fighting against the British?

Ubisoft show no respect for our culture. Descriptions of Japanese religions are completely messed up. They have to be especially careful when dealing with other people’s religion.

Nice! I hope Japanese gamers raise their voices loud enough for the devs to get the message or at the very least get this garbage cancelled!

Ubisoft's shenanigans aside, why you looks so much like Rinoa from FF8 lol so cute

They absolutely should protest this crap

I mean you know you messed up if Japanese people are mad enough to petition, it takes a hell of a lot for them to be that angry about something as well as they should I was so hyped for the game to run around as a Japanese samurai and they make it a black dude...

Remember when we had average sized characters in assassins creed who could blend into the crowd with the blend in feature..... Only giant black dude walking around feudal Japan, yeah that's super stealthy

As much as I support this, I don't believe it'll do any good: companies these days have shown time and time again they have no desire to give customers what they want, all because of that sweet D.I.E. money which still hasn't run dry for some reason

And the Japanese people should sue

I actually liked the Dual Protagonists in Syndicate where the guy was more fighty and the girl was more stealthy. I think that could work here as well. The problem is this: in syndicate the guy could still stealth and the girl could still fight. This guy isn't going to be able to stealth at all because he's a giant freaking African in homogeneous feudal Japan. Seeing this dude walk into your town would be like seeing bigfoot or the loch ness monster... he's going to stand out and draw attention. Honestly, even today if Shaq went walking down the streets of Tokyo you would be able to pick him out easily.

They call gamers racist but ignore those of us who are black or Asian and speak up. Disgusting when the true racists are those that chose to rewrite japanese history to appeal to their agenda.

Hope you're doing alright Melonie. Always praying for you. Love that you're posting content about Toji. He's really adorable and would love to see more. Anyways, have a good night and God bless you! 🙏🏻🥰

Put this phrase on UBISOFT! LONG LONG TIME AGO, IN A GALAXY FAR FAR AWAY...

Ubi soft pissed off an entire country. Haha

Nioh's William Adams is the 1st Western Samurai in real life, with his Japanese name and his Samurai rank all recorded. The difference is, in the game, he's Irish in the game, but in real life he was English.

The problem with this game is that it advertises it as historical fact. If it had been promoted on the premise that it was a completely fictional story, this wouldn't have been an issue. Nobunaga freed him from slavery and hired him, but he was not given a surname. If he could fight, why did he not do anything when Nobunaga was killed? The samurai who found him after the war thought that Yasuke had nothing to do with the battle between the samurai. Therefore, Yasuke was let go and his whereabouts are unknown. The problems with this game are as follows: "Martin Luther King Jr was merely a portable shrine held up by a powerful white man with a good heart. This is a historical fact." "Edison was not a great inventor, but a simple businessman who collected ideas from his talented black subordinates and made them into a business." "Haiti gained independence in 1804 thanks to the efforts of those with white blood, and black people alone could not have done such a thing." Japanese people feel discriminated against because the creators of this game think it is okay to treat Japanese history in this way. In fact, some people have fabricated proverbs that do not exist in Japan, such as the following, in relation to the drama "Shogun." 「There's a Japanese proverb that says for a Samurai tobe brave, he must have abit of Black blood. (William Spivey, Mar 8, 2024)」

Room tour with all your Tomb Raider collectables, please!

What sucks is Yasuke in the cutscenes *LOOKS* cool and now that's going to go to waste.

Love your content, Mel. It really makes sense.

Where Ghost of Tsushima failed to piss off Japanese culture and made a game that was accurate historical fiction in a respectful manner. Ubisoft as usual chose to disregard accuracy in their historical fiction, actively choosing to disrespect Japanese culture by making Yasuke the main character. Yasuke if anything, should have been a side character or simply not been put in the game in the first place because he was a retainer to Oda Nobunaga, but there is no historical facts that say he was a genuine member of the Samurai class. The eccentric Nobunaga was someone that saw him as interesting, as he saw a lot of foreign concepts and Yasuke was interesting due to the fact that he could fight and it was the first time Nobunaga had ever seen a Black Man. It's an interesting story, but making him the focus character of a Japanese story is very disrespectful to Japanese culture. And before dummies and shills try to bring up William from Nioh. That character was ACTUALLY based on a non-Japanese member of the Samurai class in real history and Nioh was made by a Japanese studio. Yasuke was also in that game, but he was a boss and Nioh was historical fantasy fiction with Yokai in it.

This game will suck, and not only because of the black samurai.

As a Japanese, this is not racial issue and that petition is about Ubi's rude action and fake in AC shadows. Please don't mistake about Japanese purpose. Japanese are insisting that the fakes be corrected, not hating Black character. I think it is universal value that fake/Liar is bad. I hope you to understand that samurai in English and in Japanese are meaning different. Maybe samurai in English mean like warrior but in Japanese mean aristocratic worker under lord for example officials, police, soldier and more. If Japanese said Yasuke was not samurai, it is not meant he was not warrior. We call traditional warriors ”BUSHI”. The meaning of samurai in English is like BUSHI.

私も署名に参加しました、何度でも言い続けましょう、 私たち日本人は創作の自由を広く認めています、 しかし、偽史を定着させようとするプロパガンダには断固として 立ち向かっていきます!

They should of just used Yasuke as a side story or a character that gets unlocked for side missions, if the wanna be inclusive...... this kind of ramming us black people where we don't belong is only gonna make the hate towards us reborn! This is deep reverse psychology and it's working! We had Origins with Bayek...... now it's getting out hand, especially from a black man's perspective. Give Japan to Japanese!!! It's there time to shine! ❤💪🏾🇦🇺🇯🇵

How do we find the petition?

The ubi was built faithfully based on history. and advertised. But The Japanese have always been a people who keep records. Therefore, there are records about Yasuke, who was brought to Japan as a slave. Does your country have a custom of keeping records of the names and roles of slaves from other countries? If he was a samurai or an active person, someone would surely leave a record for the Japanese people. The fact that there is no record of him after the Honnoji Incident means that no one in Japan knows what happened to him afterwards. and We don't need diversity in the game. If homosexuals are uncomfortable with being shown heterosexuality, the reverse is also true.

Sarcastic Melonie voice is the best. 🤣🤣
