For starters, the issues with clan crests crept onto the figure of Yasuke included in the edition. Yasuke is fighting for Oda Nobunaga- and his armor correctly bears the Oda family crest (known as the Oda Mokkou). However, his banner bears the Toyotomi paulownia family crest &#8211; which has been decried as a glaring mistake. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"705\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240617-32506-001.jpg\" alt=\"Assassins Creed Shadows Collectors Edition Yasuke figure\" class=\"wp-image-32509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240617-32506-001.jpg 900w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240617-32506-001-380x298.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240617-32506-001-768x602.jpg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240617-32506-001-600x470.jpg 600w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth noting however that although the Oda Mokkou is the crest most strongly associated with Nobunaga, he also used other crests. In fact, he was awarded the use of the <em>Gosankiri <\/em>crest when he was made Shogun in 1568, and there is even a woodblock print with him wearing this crest on his clothing (Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/sengoku%20history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sengoku History<\/a>). Although it looks odd with Yasuke\u2019s banner and chestplate bearing different crests- Oda Nobunaga would have received permission to use the <em>Gosankiri <\/em>crest by the time of the game\u2019s 1579 setting. This particular crest has been used by many Japanese families, personages and organizations throughout history (as shown in the Japanese crest database <a href=\"http:\/\/iroha%20no%20kamon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Iroha no Kamon<\/a>). However, a <em>Gosankiri<\/em> enclosed in a circle becomes the crest of the Toyotomi clan- which is probably how the mistake occurred (Source: Toyotomi family crest on <a href=\"https:\/\/irohakamon.com\/kamon\/kiri\/marunigosankiri.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Iroha no Kamon<\/a>).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"http:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240617-32506-002.jpeg\" alt=\"Gosankiri crests\" class=\"wp-image-32512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240617-32506-002.jpeg 900w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240617-32506-002-380x190.jpeg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240617-32506-002-768x384.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/20240617-32506-002-600x300.jpeg 600w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Left: The Gosankiri crest that Nobunaga was awarded.
