The crazy thing is - they DO their research. Ubisofts teams for historic research know what they are doing. The problem is that they dont decide what gets into the game. Another example would be the Netflix series Barbarians, where the historic advisers quit in the making of Season 2 because it infuriated them so much how hard they were ignored and how much bs the directors threw into it anyway, against any advice. I wouldnt be surprised if many people left since the early years of AC, but i dont doubt it that they still KNOW what is correct and what not.

Oh you mean the inventor of the first ever spaghetti taco delivered on a ramp. How could they forget it/why?

It would have been very interesting to see Yasuke as a perfectly trained bodyguard, fighting with European styles, and slowly evolving his kenjutsu skill tree with samurai trainers, including Japanese sword techniques. Having an hybrid and evolving skill. Instead of starting as a legendary samurai which is weird, and not really respectful of the time it takes to train another culture techniques.

As someone mentioned, one way might be to omit the Japanese woman from the main character; UBI chose Yasuke instead of the Japanese samurai because he could not relate to the Japanese (a statement made in a deleted interview). A Japanese woman named Naoe was also provided, but the life of a female ninja is harsher than that of a samurai, and is rarely praised. She is a shadowy figure whose name is difficult even to leave in history, and her situation is always complicated. What is the contradiction that it is impossible to create a male Japanese samurai and possible to create a female ninja who is more difficult to portray? Frankly, I think they want to see an unrealistic black samurai in full armor wetting his cudgel with Japanese blood.

There is only one reason for Yasuke--they couldn't find any mention of a black woman in the histories.

Yasuke actually having more significance as he was under lord nobunaga himself. Nobody cared about that they threw accuracies out the window for that game, william being a psychic demon hunter or whatever. Also AC are not known for being historically accurate, its about space people and time travel to learn the history of these human precursors while the templars want to control to the world or whatever.

In Minute 17.30, they say that: "Yasuke was likely stolen as a child, by the Portuguese". That is inacurate as the Portugues bought slaxes from African Traders. They did not steal them. On the other hand if the Lady is referring to Kidnaxxing. Than that statement would again be inacurate, as it is true that the Portugues did Raid coastel villiges. But it was very rare and costly in Soldiers lost! It was way cheaper and easyer to buy them from African city states. Thus making the likelyhood that he was bought as a slaxe child very high.

It's a true shame that Ubisoft chose to go this route for their female character. Imagine if they did make a real Kunoichi. She could don a servants attire in order to use social stealth and slip into a place unnoticed before searching out her target and poisoning his meal and then slipping away into the night. It could've been super unique but no, she's a Shinobi with Hollywood level ninja attire that can take on three samurai at once.

My favorite story about a Kunoichi based out of Kyoto who snuck into a regional warlord's local holdings disguised as a washerwoman. She then found the room of records and "cooked the books", and stole a small amount of gold each time. After a couple years of this she (or someone) sent a message to the Shogun that the regional warlord was skimming taxes. When the Shogun audited the local warlord, they found it to be "true", and the regional warlord was publicly beheaded for treason. I learned this story when visiting a museum on "ninja history" (and they openly admitted there was only so much they could know). They made a huge emphasis on the fact that although many shinobi were assassins, some of them specialized in using and manipulating the legal system to do the assassination for them. Even if the story isn't true per se, it was meant to convey the idea that the shinobi engaged in all kinds of complex statefare, espionage, book-keeping, eco terrorism... anything to complete their goals.

The commentary about Iga commented on by the owner of this video deserves a special mention. He really researches it well. Iga was a sphere of influence created by a group of people called “AKU-TOU（悪党）stray or Outcast（difficult to translate）” who gathered together in opposition to the power of the Samurai and ruled over a vast area of land as an independent council group. As this ruling system was established, they honed his own espionage skills and eventually came to serve Samurai rulers throughout Japan. Among these was one of the most famous ninja, Hattori Hanzo, who served the Tokugawa family. As you know, Hattori Hanzo was not only a samurai of the Tokugawa family, but also a chieftain of the ninja. Together with Momochi and Fujibayashi, they are known as the three great "high glade class ninja" of Iga. Iga was not a secret hiding place, but a strategic point of transportation in Japan. The Oda family sent an army to control the area, but they were resourceful enough to defeat the Oda forces on their own（First Tensho Iga Rebellion）. However, their rebellion incurred the wrath of Nobunaga, and the Iga were eventually destroyed in a terrible battle known as the Second Tensho Iga Rebellion. I'm really glad you're looking into this background properly. It doesn't seem like UBI did as much research as he did.

@metatron If were looking at the trailer with yasuke participating in the burning of naoes village. Would you agree it could be part of the tensho iga war. If so theres a year or so from then till nobunagas death From a narrative standpoint do you think thats enough time for naoe to put aside her hatred to help yasuke with whatever the assassins have in store for them. In turn what side will we be aiding? Can yasuke sneak away from nobunagas gaze and go off on adventures now? Are we aiding nobunaga? Are we gonna stop his assasination? Its a mess.

People are still sitting here arguing about historical accuracy in a series that isn't even remotely known for historical accuracy

saying every shinobi was an assassin is like saying every CIA agent is james bond or ethan hunt. most of them are just computer nerds looking through data or a million other different tasks to make things for agents in the field possible. wouldn't be much different with shinobi. some were warriors, others were just information gatherers, some had good fighting skills, others barely the basics and everything in between, just like today

@@kaustavdas436 yh that's why og fans had a lot of problems with odyssey and valhalla. At least we have Naoe this time thank god. Yasuke is literally just to please RPG fans who only like combat.

The fact that in 2024 in the age of internet and how easy it is to connect to people who are genuinely interested in history is sad how they ignore everything for propaganda

Ubisoft is really banking on 'they have been mentioned in history but we have no solid data on them' for this game...

It sucks because in the back of my head is an AC Shadows where the male character was an actual Japanese samurai and the female character is an actual kunoichi. The potential for greatness is there. I know that the Ubisoft who made the early AC games could've done it. We were robbed.

Sees armor poking out from behind a bush: Must have been the wind

just a note, for Naoe Kanetsugu the name is Kanetsugu. Naoe is the family name. The province of Iga is much larger than that scenary shown in the trailer. It is surrounded by mountains, but the valley is very wide capable of holding a sizable city. I don't think they've actually visited the place...

They probably did, it’s likely they just scaled it down for gameplay purposes . Think about it reasonably for a second, most game devs are just people who love making games, and if you were offered and all expenses paid trip to an exotic location would you say no? It’s extremely doubtful they were being sinister about it.

Its wild that a studio who took laser scans so accurate they used them to rebuild Notre Dame cathedral now find themselves incapable of just pointing out where the histroy differs from the plot. Have the insane plot but give us codex that gives the actual history.

Metatron I love that screen saver in the back ground care to share how to get it?

So if I understand it correctly, taking the Shogun show as an example, the poor fisherman, later to be revealed as a spy, later to be revealed as a samurai is basically the perfect example of a historically accurate shinobi?

Basically yes, although at the point he became a spy he wasn’t a samurai anymore as he was too old for that. So how do you use his experience and skill? Employ him as a shinobi. EZ

Shinobu were basically common everyday villagers who used farming equipment as weapons, some didn't even know martial arts they were simply spys who acted as regular passers-bys getting information from the rival clan and taking that information back to their group and sometimes selling it to another rival THATS IT! They weren't groups in all black who all have Katanas wearing mask and throwing ninja stars who were all absolutely perfect in martial arts, thats modern pop culture ideology lol

I would like that weapons with Naoe would work like in Hitman. There are small weapons which can be hidden and large weapons which get attention. Naoe could get by with just a small weapon and stealth or smuggle in a large weapon for direct combat.

After looking at the comments I can see why he thinks a complaining rant is suitable for most of his videos.

As a spaniard, I guess this would feel as if they at last made a game set in Spain and put as the protagonist a Muslim or an Ottoman that fought under the banner of Felipe II for some random historical reason. I would be pissed

Naoe is a man's name on purpose because they didn't make her look like a woman on purpose even chat gpt can't say she is a woman

3:54 - correction: Naoe is a FAMILY name. The Naoe family were an entire CLAN of samurai loyal to the Uesugi clan. No one would name their kid "Naoe," regardless of their sex. The man you refer to: Kanetsugu is his given name. Naoe is the family name. It would be like naming a girl "Smith" or "Johnson" in English.

They really said "we are not Japanese, but we're gonna make this game anyway" These are the same people who demonized Sucker Punch for Ghost of Tsushima. The hypocrisy is wild.

“Samurai and Shinobi are a different social class, so you can’t put them as one character.” (Paraphrased). I couldn’t believe what I was hearing the first time I heard this. I’m surprised you didn’t freak out as much about it either 😂. It shows how much “research” they have put into this game.

"we made games?"

The name Naoe is actually a family name. Kanetsugu, (priorly, Higuchi Yoroku) adopted the name when he married into the family. Naoe as a female name isn’t odd and actually exists. Of course the kanji is different. Shadows is still a mess though lol. What a joke. “Samurai and Shinobi come from different social class.” Hattori Hanzo says what!???? Anyway, nice take on this. Fair and balanced.
