Pop song writer also mocks Assassin's Creed Shadows

Even if you come to Japan looking for historical sites related to Yasuke, you will find almost none.

そもそも侍じゃないし笑 弥助が侍だって書いてある文献なんて「日本」にはどこにもないしね笑 というか、関ヶ原鉄砲隊への謝罪もせずに、まだ盗用してるってほんといい度胸してるよねUBI

1:21 There is a joke that only Japanese people can understand in this song . "UBI sunshine" ＝"UBI sun shine" "UBI sun"is regarded as "Mr.UBI"in Japanese. "shine"is done as "f◯ck off and die" in Japanese. 4:02 Also, there are lyrics that rhyme with Japanese rap. " AI" seisei konseputo　"ātou" " e ̄ hai", moeru orera wa mō　"an nou" " kōkai" sureba hihan　"sattōu" AI → AI　ātou → Art e ̄ hai → Uh, yes　an nou → Unknow kōkai → public　sattōu → rush

Yasuke was brought to Japan by the Jesuits and was in Japan for 15 months. He was presented to Nobunaga. Nobunaga thought the first black man he saw was just dirty, so he bathed him and washed him well, but he remained black, and when he found out that he really had dark skin, he named him Yasuke and kept him by his side out of curiosity. There are few records of him in history. We don't even know his real name. Thomas Lockley was lucky. He could write anything he wanted. DeepL翻訳

文献で一行しか出てこない人物をよく主人公にしようと思いましたよね。 私は令和に入るまで弥助の存在知りませんでした。歴史の教科書に一度も登場しないので。

3:00 It’s true that Ac should not bring samurai in to this. Samurai is not even an assassins, it’s same as bringing a goverment soldier as a main character.

If the story was about Nobunaga appointing Yasuke as a ninja, it might have been accepted by the Japanese because ninjas were able to become even those whose origins were unknown. To begin with, there are similarities between ninjas and assassins. However, in this case, Yasuke's skin color stands out, so he has to pretend to be a traveling entertainer or hide his skin… Armor like Yasuke wears in this video can only be worn by samurai of high status or those who have been promoted through great achievements.

During the Warring States Period, no samurai did not have 家名 Yasuke doesn't have a surname or 家名 His name proves everything I want you to spread this truth During the Warring States Period, '家名' is also an important factor in the identity of the samurai status. 家名 is not just a name. It is linked to 'master-servant relationship' and 'chigyo' (property), and his support as a samurai is basically based on this 'family name' (so 'family break' is a big story, and he tries to keep his adopted child alive). "The ""家名"" of the Sengoku period is completely different in weight from the modern family name." The Warring States Period is an era in which "justification" is strongly required, and this "家名" also represents "justification"). Even those who did not have 家名 served their lord through valour and merit, and sometimes served as samurai. However, in order to become an official samurai, you have to have an 家名. In the Sengoku period, there was a chance for a person who did not have 家名 to become a samurai, and at that time, it was necessary to serve his lord and achieve bravery and achievements. In particular, those who achieved outstanding valour and achievements were given 家名 by their lord, and they were given knowledge and support, so they became official 家名. A good example of this is Yoshiro Kishita, Hideyoshi HASHIBA, and Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI. (Even in the Edo period, farmers became samurai by their talents and achievements, but in terms of opportunity, there are more from the Sengoku period. I risk my life.). The absence of this '家名' is the best proof that 'Yasuke is not a samurai.' Also, basically speaking of 家名 It is given by the principal person. Since it is linked to master-servant relationships and knowledge, it is normal to change 家名 when your position changes due to promotion. The loss of '家名' is a great disgrace to the samurai and means the loss of social status. In addition, having 家名 is accompanied by privileges and obligations as a samurai, and it also affects family relationships such as marriage and inheritance. Looking at the Internet, many people seem to think that 家名 is a family name that they take lightly. In Japan, 家名 is a unique Japanese idea that is not found overseas, so it is quite difficult to explain (it is translated directly into 'Family name' and the meaning is different), but is it close to 'Appellatio'? Appellation comes from the Latin word apple āre (call, call). In medieval Europe, knights and aristocrats were given various "appellations" in addition to 家名, but these applications represent merit and honor. It was associated with a particular land or position, not only as a mere name, but also as an expression of the knight's identity and honor. There are foreigners who have become samurai, but after serving for 10 to 20 years, after showing their special skills, talents, achievements, and achievements, they finally received an 家名 and became samurai. On the other hand, Yasuke, who has served for about 15 months, cannot become a samurai. "If I had been able to use it for 10 or 20 years, I might have been able to become a samurai by setting up my family name or family by myself and receiving ""家名""."

弥助以外にも日本の戦国時代には黒人が存在していましたが、弥助と違い名前すら残っていません。 ただ、その中のひとりはインド人と共に砲撃手として戦争で活躍したとルイス・フロイスの著書に記載されていています。 何故、召し使いのような仕事しかしてない弥助だけがヒーローのように扱われているのか日本人には理解できません。

Dude ac have always been taking liberty in history and the figures. This is no different. Heck they even said that they picked him cause of his history is open for interpretation, which is perfect to have as a lead
