A lot of arguments, sometimes very harsh ones are going on Yasuke, a black servant of Nobunaga Oda.

Yasuke will be a hero of the brand-new version of video game series Assassin’s Creed.

Yasuke was not a samurai. He served Nobunaga


 
Because he was one of the Nobunaga’s servants, he was said to have no-roles in battles. But in the game, he is heavily armed even in a peaceful city (honestly, it looks odd), and joins a lot of wars.
 
Not a few people say “This is not what he was.” or “Too much gap from the fact.” But for me, Yasuke in the game has no problem. Because it is a fictitious story, so make whatever the creators want.
 
Though his charater in the game is up to creators, his background and profile are not. We should not confuse fictitious stories and facts.
