The series tells the story of the first Black samurai who served under Oda Nobunaga. While it's a historical retelling of a real ronin, Yasuke leans into the fantastical by combining various elements like magic and mechs.
A six-episode series, Yasuke is produced by Jujutsu Kaisen animator Mappa. It is directed by Cannon Busters originator LeSean Thomas, with the titular character voiced by Judas and the Black Messiah actor LaKeith Stanfield.
