Yeah. Yasuke is actually a perfect pick for an AC character. Fascinating person where just enough is known, but plenty of questions to fill in the blanks with AC nonsense.
its why everytime someone comes to me saying its not an issue about race in a samurai game, I tell them did you complain William in Nioh 1 and its sequel Nioh 2 was an Irish Samurai. if they didnt, suprise you might actually be a racist, because Nioh being a Japanese developed game, also proves Japan doesnt give a shit about historical accuracy and what race a Samurai is, so you couldnt play the japan would be mad about it card.
Seriously though, thats the perfect example to point to to show that this is all bs. It's the exact same situation - non Japanese people who became samurai in rhe Sengoku era and each had close relationships with a shogun. They're both real so its not the dreaded "historical inaccuracy." Theres literally only one difference between Yasuke and William that is the reason they're throwing a fit about one and not the other
