In 1581 Valignano and Yasuke traveled to Kyōto, where they met Oda Nobunaga, a powerful daimyo (feudal lord) who was seeking to unify a Japan divided by several warlords. According to a contemporary account, Nobunaga was stunned by Yasuke’s appearance, by both his height and his skin colour. As recorded in the diary of the samurai Matsudaira Ietada, “His [Yasuke’s] height was 6 shaku 2 sun [roughly 6 feet 2 inches (1.88 metres)]…he was black, and his skin was like charcoal.” Yasuke would have towered over the average Japanese person of that era. The majority of Japanese people, including Nobunaga, had never seen a Black man. Upon meeting Nobunaga, Yasuke was reportedly stripped and scrubbed, as Nobunaga believed that his skin was dirty.

Yasuke immediately gained Nobunaga’s favour. Historians assume that Yasuke knew Japanese well enough to have conversations with Nobunaga, and they also believe that he quickly proved to Nobunaga his skills as a soldier. Soon after their first meeting, Nobunaga granted Yasuke his Japanese name, accepted him into his service, and made him the first recorded foreigner to receive the title of samurai. Yasuke was also one of the few people who dined with Nobunaga, which demonstrated the closeness of their relationship.

As a samurai, Yasuke would have fought in several battles for Nobunaga, though the exact number is unknown. His service to Nobunaga was, however, short: Yasuke was present at Honnō Temple in Kyōto in 1582, only about a year after they met, when Nobunaga was betrayed by his general Akechi Mitsuhide. With defeat a foregone conclusion, Nobunaga committed seppuku, a form of ritual suicide, in order to control his own death and protect his honour. It is possible that Yasuke served as Nobunaga’s kaishakunin, a designated second in the ritual who beheads the man dying by seppuku

a 1TB Vision Pro, complete with all the included gear, Apple’s fluffy $200 travel case, $500 AppleCare Plus, and claimed to have been “worn maybe about an hour” sold for $3,200 after 21 bids. The listed shipping estimate was $20.30. Brand new, that combination is $5,007.03 on Apple’s site for me. Another eBay listing, this one with my headset’s configuration (but sans optical inserts) went for just $2,600 — again with most, if not all, of the included accessories. Several other 256GB and 512GB models sold for around that amount this week.

"As the gameplay footage begins, the screen fades in to reveal a vast, open world shrouded in a mystical ambiance. The landscape is rich with detail, showcasing towering mountains, dense forests, and sprawling plains. The sky above is painted with hues of orange and purple as the sun sets on the horizon, casting long shadows across the terrain.

In the foreground, a lone figure emerges, the Arisen, the protagonist of the game, adorned in intricate armor and wielding a mighty sword. They stride purposefully across the landscape, their movements fluid and deliberate. Alongside them, a party of loyal companions follows closely, each equipped with their own weapons and abilities.

As they journey onward, the Arisen encounters a variety of foes, from towering cyclopes to agile goblins. Combat ensues with a seamless blend of swordplay, magic, and strategic maneuvering. The Arisen slashes and parries with precision, while their companions provide support with ranged attacks and spells.

The environment itself becomes a crucial element of the battle, with the Arisen utilizing cliffs and rock formations for cover, and even climbing onto the backs of larger enemies to deliver devastating blows. As the dust settles, the party emerges victorious, but their journey is far from over.

Throughout the gameplay footage, glimpses of the game's deep customization and progression systems are revealed, allowing players to tailor their characters' abilities and appearance to suit their playstyle. From mastering different vocations to forging powerful weapons and armor, the Arisen's journey is one of constant growth and evolution.

As the footage comes to a close, the sun dips below the horizon, casting the world into darkness. But the Arisen and their companions press onward, their resolve unwavering as they face the challenges that lie ahead in the world of Dragon's Dogma."
