Yasuke English Sub & Dub

About Yasuke

Yasuke (Yasuke -ヤスケ-) arrives as an action anime by MAPPA (2021), and the premise is easy to summarize. What the story covers: In a war-torn feudal Japan filled with mechs and magic, the greatest ronin never known, Yasuke, struggles to maintain a peaceful existence after a past life of violence. But when a local village grows into the center of social upheaval between warring daimyo, Yasuke must take up his sword and transport a mysterious child who is the target of dark forces and bloodthirsty warlords.

From there, the story of Yasuke, the first African samurai who actually served the legendary Oda Nobunaga, will be released to the realm.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by MAPPA, so the studio's house style defines how Yasuke looks and moves on screen. Within the action category, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 5.6/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. Released in 2021, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
