      Yeah there are plenty here in South Africa. Like half my friends are black weebs that watch lots of anime and want a Katana sword or something lol. Even in the US, you have shows like the Boondocks which were animated by studios in Japan and South Korea, and take inspiration from anime.

    There has never been a not cool black samurai in any media. This is not true for white samurai. Many such cases of being shitty, etc.

        The funny thing is that Tom Cruise's character was only very loosely based on Jules Brunet. Even if the black dude weren't Yasuke, he'd be no more "historically out of place" than some Cracker-American officer advising troops after the Boshin War.

    I mean people do films and stories, some made up and some based on true events, where the character is unfamiliar to the environment all the time. The whole point of Mr Bones movies, whatever you think of them, is that the guy is a white traditional healer/sangoma in Africa. It's a narrative tool that is used all the time in media. I don't see the problem here, it's even based on a real guy in this game.
