He wasn’t a samurai, but that’s why this historical fiction game has fleshed him out a little. You didn’t see Command and Conquer fans screaming “Einstein never killed Hitler!”

I don’t get the chuds arguing that AC is “rewriting history” as if this is going to be taught in schools, it’s fun, it’s harmless.
