			{{Quote\|You are more than worthy. You have come from a faraway land, shaken off bondage, and mastered our tongue. Foreign samurai are unheard of, yet you were chosen by the great Lord Nobunaga. I don't know what Lord Nobunaga saw in you when he first sent you, but I am glad that he did.\|Kamiizumi Nobutsuna to Yasuke, 1581.\|Assassin's Creed: Shadows\|Nobutsuna Sensei}}
	Yasuke was a thoughtful and intelligent man, who was able to learn the Japanese people's language, customs, and martial arts quickly upon arriving in their country. His respect for the local culture enabled his adaptation to his new environment.<ref name="trailer2"/> These qualities, alongside his physical prowess and aptitude in combat, were what earned him Nobunaga's respect.<ref name="trailer3"/> His down-to-earth sensibilities complemented the fiery and passionate temperament of his later ally, Naoe.<ref name="trailer2"/>		Yasuke was a thoughtful and intelligent man, who was able to learn the Japanese people's language, customs, and martial arts quickly upon arriving in their country.
