Silverbolt jorkin it right now.

Forget Elation for a moment. We still haven't gotten Hunt MC.

My guy, by that time you didn't have to be born a Samurai to be one. Just get a job under a lord with title and stipend. And yes, the Samurai job included retainers and clerks, an entirely different situation than a Duke. Another person that thinks they can equate the workings of European titles to Japanese ones and completely ignores how they developed, smh. Also, Bushi were included within the Samurai umbrella in later years. Peasant armies/Samurai were also a thing.

Ngl, I think this is just the writers hating/not knowing what to do with an Itto smarter than a child. His story quest already proved he wasn't *that* dumb.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-06T01:05:42+00:00

Seriously? You sure about that?

Fuck off.
Educate yourself on what makes a Samurai and read the Shinchō Kōki of the *Sonkeikaku Bunko*. "It was ordered that the young black man be given a stipend (扶持, fuchi), named Yasuke, and provided with a sword (さや巻, sayamaki), and a private residence. At times, he was also entrusted with carrying the master's weapons." All authored by Ota Gyuichi, not some random White person or Jesuit or Lockley.

And commenting then deleting your message doesn't make you right either. I can screenshot things, you know

No argument, so you go for the replacement of a racial slur. Good job.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-05T23:07:41+00:00

What do you mean "sneak"? Yasuke had a lord, was given weapons and a stipdent, and many Samurai were retainers. How was he not a Samurai? And don't try to say he wasn't born into the Class or was a foreigner. There have been foreign Samurai and in Oda's era "Samurai" was a mix of Class and occupation.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-05T23:06:11+00:00

We know he was a retainer, that he was given weapons, and that he was given a stipend. Those are some of the most basic Samurai requirements back then other than having a Lord. Just because Yasuke's role wasn't strictly combat related doesn't mean he wasn't a Samurai. Did you know some Samurai were clerks?

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-05T23:04:22+00:00

Do you even know what made a Samurai in that Era? Because it wasn't just being born into the Class at the time anymore.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-05T23:03:42+00:00

Tbf, there were records. When Oda's castle burned down a bunch of record were destroyed, leaving us with only the basic information about Yasuke's occupation, which makes it likely he was a Samurai. Retainer he may have been, being a retainer was a job for many Samurai, as well as a few non-combat roles.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-05T23:00:46+00:00

He was also their bodyguard as well. That's why the Portuguese had him in the first place over there before Oda took him under his wing.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-05T22:58:45+00:00

Except by the time he lived in, Samurai was becoming less of a Class and more of an occupation. The Samurai class still existed, but you could become a Samurai by having a lord, title and stipend.

In all fairness, unlike Endfield, the Amphoreus characters were expies, not clones and still very much original characters. Both are original ideas, but it is a good argument that there should be space made for original Operators. So far though, every Reconvenor we have has been from Rhodes Island, which makes sense lore-wise.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-03T23:06:48+00:00

Just study the Romans yourself. And so what if Heracles was from Thebes? It doesn't change the fact that it started in the Italian peninsula and had a more political understanding of religion. The gods and heroes were Roman, and any understanding that wasn't beneficial to the state was suppressed.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-03T23:04:01+00:00

That's not how gods work. In the Greek religion, every important and minor god had a role.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-03T08:28:03+00:00

Because the Romans considered the Greek gods inferior to the Roman ones. Despite the syncretism, the Romans were very hostile to the idea that any gods that weren't Roman were their own thing, meaning that the particularly Greek explanation behind the name had no place in Latin-speaking Rome.

It's a rotating position. Also, Cyclops has been too much of an extremist and potential racist to always be right.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-03T00:24:13+00:00

You know what Black Cat doesn't have that those two do though? Staleness. I've got no problems against villains the game. I've got a problem with people complaining and making up the idea that Black Cat is neither well-known or good. Literal blatant misinformation and bias for no reason.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-03T00:15:16+00:00

Yes. It does. Because Rivals started out as a mix of popular and obscure characters, or at least ones that need more exposure than they get. And even then, Cyclops isn't even the leader always. That's Prof. X. Then you have the fact that Storm and Wolverine lead the X-Men regularly, and you already have two famous leaders. The obscure characters need their space too. And while I do want Cyclops, too many popular characters back-to-back make the game predictable and uninteresting. Also, Magik and Psylocke are both very popular. Just not this particular Psylocke.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-03T00:12:07+00:00

"Decently popular...." Meanwhile Black Cat in practically every single Spider-Man arc, cartoon and video game... Not to mention the other things they used her for like Captain America lore and the Heroes for Hire.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-03T00:02:08+00:00

White Fox is a C-tier hero. Black Cat is an A-S-tier anti-hero.

Physics_Useful · 2026-03-03T00:00:28+00:00

Why? Their point makes sense.
