@LeventHeitmeier @fasc1nate Yes, seen this. Unfortunately, a great deal of “information “ on Yasuke has been made up. He only served Nobunaga for 10 months, and we have very, very few reliable details about him and his life. 99% of the stories about him are fiction.

新暦でいえば本日が三成捕縛の日です。よく、儂のことを文弱だの体力がないだのいう人いるけど、いま外に出てみて？凍えるほど寒いでしょ？
そう、10月の極寒の最中…山中を行脚して凍えながら洞窟で身を潜める。確実に身体壊すような離れ技を三成はやっていたわけです
まぁ実際に身体壊したんだけど…
