In fact, something that many people criticize <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/a-group-of-players-wants-to-stop-the-shutdowns-of-old-game-servers-starting-with-a-ubisoft-classic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Ubisoft<\/a> for is that <strong>the Japanese must be enraged by the fact that a black samurai appears<\/strong>. You know, the country that created &#8216;Afro Samurai&#8217;, included him as a character in &#8216;Samurai warriors 5&#8217; and made him the protagonist of his own anime in 2021 produced by the Mappa studio. That country. Very angry, indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Assassin&#039;s Creed Shadows: Official World Premiere Trailer\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vovkzbtYBC8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end, it&#8217;s the same fear that some people have when they see a woman as the protagonist of a saga: the fear of losing the privileges that leads to the constant repetition, almost like a mantra, of the word <a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/has-gemini-googles-ai-become-too-woke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">&#8220;woke&#8221;<\/a>, as if it meant something at this point.
