Follow Akechi Mitsuhide
After the introductory cutscene, you will take control of Yasuke. This is a short introductory quest: just follow the group of people until you reach the temple where a cutscene will begin.
Here you will meet Oda Nobunaga. Yasuke and Father Valignano meet with Nobunaga to discuss the freedom of movement for European priests. If the canonical mode is disabled, the first dialogue choice will appear:
- I understand you — everyone is surprised that the black samurai speaks their language. Nobunaga accuses Valignano of deception, as he claimed that Yasuke does not understand their speech. Valignano leaves, and Nobunaga talks to Yasuke in private.
- Remain silent — Nobunaga still sends Valignano away and continues the conversation with Yasuke.
Then the second choice appears:
- I followed Valignano's orders.
- I am still learning your language and customs.
The choice does not affect the plot, Nobunaga will simply show interest in Yasuke. In the end, the Japanese allows Valignano to stay, and you will gain access to the mission Spirit of a Warrior.
