Yasuke Anime Plot

One of the best action anime series, Yasuke is a true story based on the only black samurai who ever lived. Yasuke served as one of Japan’s greatest leaders, Oba Nobunaga. While it does not stick to the whole story, it will loosely follow the journey of the black samurai Yasuke anime who went on to become one of the most important historical figures in the world.

With history witnessing the great valor of the Black Samurai he is no sudden epiphany to some, but to some, it’s high time to stop sleeping on him and get to know about the very legend.

True Story
Yasuke was an attendant of the Jesuit missionary Alessandro Valignano during his visit to
Japan in 1579. He was 24-25 years with a stature of over 6’2″ and with much eccentric black skin he stood out amongst the Japanese.

Later his soaring popularity evoked the curiosity of the Japanese warlord Oda Nobunaga. Awestruck by his unbothered appearance and mighty emulating multiples, Oda Nobunaga was convinced to have him as his personal bodyguard.

As Yasuke seemed to grow on Nobunaga, he adorned him with the highest privileges. But soon as Oda Nobunaga’s sovereignty was over Yasuke was further assigned to a missionary located in Kyoto by the rivals. It led to Yasukes’s glorious days fading into an enigma.

MAPPA, the famous Japanese animation studio that brought us the likes of Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen is the official animator of the series. Undoubtedly, the animation quality and the action scenes will be some of the best.

We cant wait to see what Yasuke anime has to offer. Do share with us your excitement and what you are looking forward to.
