🇯🇵⚡️- Japanese Prime Minister Ishibi has surprisingly commented on the Western video game Assassin’s Creed: Shadows and its depiction of feudal Japan, particularly the in-game ability to desecrate Japanese artifacts and ancient shrines. He stated that Japan "will not give up in silence; we will not tolerate this kind of behavior," referring to cultural insensitivity and vandalism by Western media companies.

The game has been controversial since its announcement, as Yasuke, a Black man who lived in feudal Japan, is depicted as a samurai, despite all serious historical records indicating he was merely a servant. Both Japanese and Western audiences have relentlessly parodied the game for creating a product that allows players to control a Black man cutting down Asian people at will, especially in light of the rise in hate crimes directed toward Asians by Blacks in the United States since the COVID-19 pandemic.
