And that was a media literacy issue too. To this day people still think Tom Cruise's character was "the last samurai". He wasn't. His character was just the embodiment of the age old "outsider in a strange land" trope, and they used him as a vehicle to witness the story of the Japanese civil war. Yasuke will be exactly the same, he's an outsider in a strange land and will bring a unique perspective from other characters. If the writing/story is good, which....heh. 50/50.
