A young African warrior is torn from his homeland and sold into servitude, only to find himself in the war-torn lands of feudal Japan. Under the patronage of the powerful warlord Oda Nobunaga, Yasuke rises from an outsider to a samurai, defying prejudice and proving his worth on the battlefield. As he earns Nobunaga’s trust, he becomes entangled in the brutal conflicts of Japan’s unification, facing betrayal, war, and the ambitions of men who see him as both an anomaly and a threat.
