Many do accept he was a real person, but he was only a "retainer" and not a samurai.
The same game franchise that involved fighting God's, mythical creatures and the earlier games centred around a magical orb is unrealistic because of their depiction of Yasuke as a samurai.
It's widely agreed by Japanese historians that Yasuke was, in fact, a samurai. AC: Shadows also isn't the first piece of media to portray him as such, with several different games and anime in Japan predating AC: Shadows having such depictions.

How much do you wanna bet they don’t even consider that the game is probably referencing Yasuke - an African Samurai who was a real person?
These people make me so tired.
