Great Black Samurai 2

This is Yasuke Kurosuke... again... Or is he?
I'm his great fan so I couldn't help but submit 2 deviations of him. Historical accounts of him very a great deal, especially referring to the end of the chapter of his existence in Japan. Some version told of his heroic death in the hands of Mitsuhide's relentless assault on Honno-ji. Others say he was brought to the Christian lands of Kyushu and became a Jesuit. There are some who believed he lived happily with his Japanese wife somewhere in Osaka, under Toyotomi's protection.

If I'm to choose which version to believe, I'll follow the third choice and here's a another much interesting part. There's not just one Great Black Samurai of Japan. Yasuke had a successor and in due time he will challenge the historical African warrior of Japan for the title of "The Mighty Dark Blade". But this is an original fiction character I have developed as an inspiration to Yasuke's history. Yes, this is not Yasuke but another wayward soul who would carry out his legacy.

By the way, I did not create the dragon background. It is an image of Ryu, the sacred dragon of Japan, from Microsoft Encarta 2007 DVD. Encarta Encyclopedia, Philadelphia Museum of Art by Corbis. Why I used Encarta's pics for background, well, I got lazy... Seriously lazy... Gloomy rainy December makes me lethargic, sleeping is a non-negotiable pleasure...
