Yasuke is a Netflix original anime series co-directed by LeSean Thomas (of Cannon Busters fame) and Takeshi Sato with animation production by MAPPA. It premiered on the streaming platform in April, 2021.Centered around the historical figure of the same name, the series follows an African-born samurai named Yasuke, who rose from a lowly servant of an overseas merchant to a trusted member of Oda Nobunaga's inner circle, sending shockwaves through the warlord's culturally conservative court. Twenty years after Nobunaga's death during the Incident at Honno-ji, Yasuke has become a masterless ronin, making his living as a simple ferryman. His destiny would be changed, however, when he is given the task of protecting Saki, a young sickly girl with incredibly mystical power. With the forces of darkness after Saki for her power, the Black Samurai of eld must take up arms again to safeguard her and see that she gets the life-saving treatment she needs.It will also get a Manga Adaptation for Shogakukan's Monthly Spirits magazine by Satoshi Okunishi, launching in the magazine's August issue this year on July 27.

A Father to His Men: While not everyone in Nobunaga's court was a fan of him, he did win the loyalty of some by looking past the circumstances of their birth and elevating them as a reward for their deeds, including Yasuke (an African-born foreigner) and Natsumaru (a woman).

Punch-Clock Villain: The mercenary group works only for payment. When Saki kills Abraham, they part with Saki and Yasuke with no hard feelings, despite the fight Yasuke put up against them. They consequently have no problems working with Yasuke and Saki to fight the Daimyo's forces when Saki contacts them with the promise of twice (later raised to three-times) their usual rate.

Frame-Up: Abraham falsely accuses Yasuke of murdering Saki and Ichika. Nothing much actually comes of this other than ensuring that Yasuke can't return to Saki's village until the Dark Daimyo is defeated. By the time Yasuke and Saki do return back, word's spread exonerating him.

comment
Feeling Their Age: Yasuke is at least in his late forties or early fifties, and hasn't seen active combat in twenty-years. It shows. While he's still a definite badass, compared to the One-Man Army he was in his time in Nobunaga's service he's clearly lost a few steps, spending a good portion of his current fights on the defensive, and needing Saki to save him at the last minute more than once.

 Yasuke / int_44fc28e8
comment
Honor Before Reason: Discussed in regards to the samurai. When Yasuke first came to Japan, he observed a young boy about to be killed by an older swordsman for daring to question his honor. Nobunaga's retainers (including Natsumaru, the boy's elder sister) were honor-bound not to intervene...but Yasuke was not beholden to those standards.

comment
Offending the Fool: Haruto has a "slow" A.I. which makes it difficult for him to understand jokes or insults. In episode 3, Abraham calls the mercenaries "fools, incompetents and an affront to God and nature" (the last one is implied to specifically refer to Haruto in particular) causing the robot to pull his Arm Cannon on him. Earlier, Achoja says "His [Yasuke]'s brain's scrambled worse than the walking scrap heap" and as Haruto leaves with Nikita to look for Saki, he realizes that Achoja was referring to him.

Alternate History

comment
Alternate History: Aside from the out-of-place elements like magic and robots, the series takes some liberties with Warring States history: according to official records, Yasuke had been captured by Akechi Mitsuhide's forces after Nobunaga's death and given back to the Jesuits. No records exist of him after this. In this series, Yasuke escaped the Jesuits' captivity and lived as a ferryman until his meeting Saki.

(Spiders because of all the webbing and using People Puppets, moths because of her shape and her tendancy to hang out surrounded by candles as a metaphor for how hungry she is to devour more light. Both creatures spin cocoons, which she also uses). In the final battle the Dark Damiyo also manifests centipede-like limbs which, in Shinto, represent corruption.
