    MAPPA's art and animations have always been astonishing. Glad they're bringing the story of Yasuke to life once again through groundbreaking visuals. No doubt for a studio that animated AOT season 4, Jujutsu Kaisen, etc.

      I saw Flying Lotus at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
      He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
      I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
      The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
      When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

      @@Monocheto1 Yes. Portuguese came to Japan do some trading, as they did periodically during this time period, and they went to meet with Nobunaga. Nobunaga saw Yasuke and immediately asked why this man's skin was painted black. When the Jesuits tried to explain to him that it was his natural skin color, he didn't believe them and ordered to have him scrubbed for an hour to remove the paint. After that when he realized that apparently humans did come in such colors he decided to buy Yasuke's contract from the Portuguese and even gave him his new name. Supposedly after Yasuke learned to converse in Japanese, Nobunaga became quite fond of him as he was supposedly a good conversationalist and really strong, so he made him a samurai and gave him the position of swordbearer/spearbearer (can't remember which).
      Eventually, after Nobunaga was killed at Honnouji, Yasuke still loyally served his son Nobutada, until they were captured by the forces of Mitsuhide. Nobutada was forced to commit seppuku, but Yasuke was not on account of (according to some sources) the samurai claiming that he "wasn't a person" and therefore didn't need to preserve his honor through suicide. So he was exiled and placed on a ship, where he supposedly was shipped off to India, but there sadly isn't enough informaiton to corroborate whether he arrived there or not.

      Not to mention there are not many African-Japanese people. Japanese people also don't care about race and politics as much. So, Yasuke will always be semi discreet. Yasuke may have been the first black Samurai, but's he's also (one of) the last black ones. Not counting post-Meiji Samurai, who are more like modern Knights; they don't hold much of anything and they're more there to respect the ways of the old. When it comes down to it, they're irrelevant.

      Yeah so was I. I believe that Yusuke was actually a Ethiopian Warrior also known as Shotelai or the Elite Warriors. The reason his name is Yasuke because its based off the Ethiopian name Yisuke. The Portuguese were allied with the Ethiopians and they needed a interpreter to speak the different languages of Asia. This is how Yasuke or Yisuke travels to Japan. I would've definitely preferred to see a story that shows both Yasuke and Oda Nobunga lives before and once they met.

    If you look into the Japanese history there was a black samurai during Sengoku period Japanese daimyō Oda Nobunaga. In 1579, Yasuke. So this video content was based off somewhat of Japanese history. Can't wait to see this on Netflix.😎👍

  • @johng7003
    @johng7003 Před 3 lety +25

    Since everyone is still waiting for it,I highly recommend you to check some historical yt channels that feature the story of Yasuke and yes this is a real story aka a black slave from a Portuguese ship that arrived in Japan ended up being a samurai. The end of his story is delbatable since noones knows exactly what happened to Yasuke(others say after the betrayal and death to Nobunaga by Mitsuhide he was returned to the Portuguese, others say he went for the rest of his days into hiding in Japan or something and so on...). All in all I recommend to check the story about him specifically from the channel called Kings and Generals.

    • @admirekashiri9879
      @admirekashiri9879 Před 3 lety +1

      He wasn't a slave apparently read the book by Thomas Lockley a researcher and expert of Japanese history who studied Yasuke's life story. Yasuke was a warrior before he came to Japan, it believed he was a Habishi warrior (African soldier in India). So he was a trained warrior who worked as a bodyguard or enforcer. Yes Habishi warriors were slaves at first however, many became free men who gained alot of power and influence in the region of India called the Deccan the most famous being Malik Ambar. So Yasuke most likely was a mercenary and bodyguard for the Jesuits not a random slave.

      @名無しさん it's not the same. Black face refers to a different colored person painting themselves black to portray a black character. Black voice is referring to an actual black person doing the voice. This is important since before other colored people (typically caucasians) would do the voice over.

    Based on an actual historical figure, a former black slave of Portuguese missionaries who was adopted as a member of Nobunaga's clan. Don't know the full history, but he's real.

      Being ignorant must be some fetish for you. Yasuke wasn't made up by Hollywood, he was an actual person who served under Nobunaga as his retainer or bodyguard. He's mentioned in Japanese history if you would bother to even do simple research.
