On an unrealted note, shitlibs and kangs are obsessed with Yauske. Here's the story of the bad ass Black Samurai:
Yauske was a Portuguese slave bought by Oda Nobunaga (yes, that Nobunaga) as a sort of novelty. He made him a weapon bearer, and so people claim he was a retainer/samurai. This, automatically means he was a skilled swordsman to them. Also he was a commander, general, and whatever else. Any battle he was tangentially related to, he totally led.
Anyway, he stayed by Nobunaga's side for a year, during which point they gradually became friends, partners, brothers in arms, and gay lovers.
But it wasn't meant to last. After a year, right at the height of Nobunaga's power, his dream to conquer Japan within his grasp, Mitsuhide betrays him over something really petty (Nobunaga basically killed his mom). Nobunaga, barricaded inside the Honno Ji temple, goes full Hitler-mode and commits suicide, then asks that his body be burned to prevent it from being paraded. Honno Ji is made of wood, so the entire place catches fire like a gender reveal party at the same time he does. Everyone inside dies... Everyone... except Yauske.
See, Yauske used his nindo, his ninja way, to magically teleport away from his bff's side, outside of the temple, and away from Mitsuhide's army that had surrounded the temple. Somehow, he even reached Nobunaga's son, Nobutada. Nobutada kills himself soon after when his army's defeat is also imminent.
But again he still wasn't killed. Captured by Mitsuhide, Yauske is let go (probably because he wasn't a threat to Mitsuhide's political ambitions) and then stumbles back to the Portuguese. But some also say he kept roaming Japan as a master-less samurai, practicing the blade while you were debating the holocaust on discord. We don't really know, because no one bothered to write it all down.
So clearly, all of this happened. All of this is true. If any part of this makes no sense to you, then you are an idiot.
