Part 2/11:
The initial trailer, revealing one of the two playable characters—Yasuke, the so-called "Black Samurai"—was met with nearly 800,000 dislikes compared to less than 300,000 likes, signaling widespread disapproval. The ratio worsened on the Japanese-specific trailer, where the dislike-to-like ratio soared to 10:1. Japanese fans expressed their dissatisfaction across social media, petitions, and fan communities, criticizing both the inclusion of Yasuke and Ubisoft's portrayal of Japan.
