The editing on this is dope 🔥🔥
Thank you for sharing!
He may have been the first black samurai, but blacks were the first martial artists. If you throw in trash the false historical narrative that later groups put on to make themselves appear original.
Afro samurai and Huey freeman seems to be inspired from this wonderful samurai blacksmith thank you for posting the video
This is awesome 😎
Manee, Yasuke makes the perfect black anime character
Im mad about this. For centuries, the Japanese people knew full well about this but kept their mouths shut and hind this secret away from the entire world and what they did to his name they gave it to their criminal organization mobsters, Japanese people tainted his name & his history for centuries and when a Black professor found out about a Black Samurai and brought his legacy to life again, years later the Japanese people are welcoming acknowledging the Black Samurai to the public and all of you Anime fans are ignoring this obvious insult to our culture. So not only I’m Mad at the Japanese people but I’m Mad & sick over my own people. You refuse to held the Japanese people accountable for this racist act because you love Anime and Asian women
Waiting for the movie
Very interesting video. Thanks for informing!
I watched this 2yrs ago on Netflix and it was 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yasuke’s Story is the reason why I study the Art of Kendo…. Fantastic video… Inshallah, Peace and Power …. Please keep up the the incredible content… Also there is a great book on him Titled The African Samurai by Thomas Lockley and Geoffrey Gerard.
After watching this 3 times..I'm sure this brotha most likely was from a West Africa country where most of the Africans are very dark, and most of the West African countries were very profound in Arabic brcuz mist of them were MUSLIMS. in this film, they mentioned how the African samurai often spoke of world events, philosophical topics, & very spiritually grounded, but they showed his writings which were all on ARABIC, and his character demonstrates a Islamic way of thinking & living. Also, during that time, the Muslims from West Africa, along with other West africans in the 1600s, were being kidnapped, internationally traffiked by all the european powers and bound for enslavement, so every African was trying to do whatever it takes to not end up in this situation, so since the Muslims establish trade routes for generations prior to the slave trade, he knew what to do & how to navigate hus survival by traveling abroad..I'm convinced he was a devout Muslim from West Africa. And due to his warrior adaptability, it sounds like he could be cameroonian becuz Cameroon has always had natural soldiers who value fighting for freedom & justice. Look up General Kujo, & read his history. He was taken to Jamaica but was a trained Cameroonian Guerilla warfare soldier…look how he organized African hit squads in Jamaica & had them white folk SLAVEOWNERS in Jamaica SHOOK!
This was very interesting history of our people.
