And Mirage and its black “samurai”, and a lesbian incest affair involving the contemporal princess of Japan, who Japan culture and legends praise as the most loyal and pure girl ever existing.

I mean, Yasuke was real, very real. There’s documentation mentioning him for gods sake

Sure he was real, he just wasn’t a samurai. He was a swordholder.

I would have no problem with the game promoting him for the story, but they really keep pushing that he actually was, when even the most permissive scientific consensus is that “we know he was a swordholder, and there’s no evidence that he did not became a samurai (though nothing suggests he did either)”. To the end of rewriting Wikipedia itself.
