Its pretty tiring to hear people cling to Yasuke as if he was some major figure.
He had a really mediocre Netflix anime (where he played second fiddle to a random little girl and a bunch of mechs), was a random extra boss in Nioh, and so on, yet people keep acting like he was some badass on par with Nobunaga. --- Preparation is the last refuge of the weak ...

Id say Yasuke seems to be overly milked for such a minor historical figure, but theres certainly nothing wrong with the game over it. It's because of the mystery and legend behind it. We mostly just know he was a retainer for Nobunaga. There's little history there, but the fact that was associated with one of the most influential and powerful figures in Japanese history during an age of revolution lends to itself to a slew of what ifs. --- ...I think I'm done here... ...
