VERY ASSCREED OF THEM TO HAVE THAT. Using the name of the title for nothing else but recognition at this point.

I am also not really understanding what the hell is he supposed to be in the game? Its one of the two playable characters, but this is an AssCreed game, a game that is centered around bending in, and assassinating your targets. How the **** are you supposed to do that with a 6.8feet black guy in Japan with a fucking mace on his shoulder? Did ubishop wen't full braindead on this one or what?

Or it is non Japanese people using translate to act like they are Japanese. That whole youtube's video comments are full of this.

If you hit translate, and translates perfect English, they aren't Japanese.

No, look at the damn name. The large majority are Japanese people with old youtube accounts.

Afro Samurai isn't about Yasuke, but it does appear to be inspired by him. And Japanese audiences definitely had no issue with it back in the days. But Afro Samurai was made in Japan, whereas Assassin's Creed is made in the West, so they might react differently.

Let's not pretend that Western countries don't have an infinitely worse history of racism against dark-skin people...

But I can see your point. I haven't seen Japan's reactions yet, but they would have every right to be offended. However, if they weren't also offended by white samurai protagonists in the likes of Nioh, Shogun, or Last Samurai, then that would be hypocritical.
