Ubisoft Trashed After ‘Assassin’s Creed Shadows’ Debuts New Qlectors Collectible Featuring Yasuke And Naoe Alongside What Appears To Be A Destroyed Torii Gate
Ubisoft finds itself in hot water again over Assassin’s Creed Shadows and specifically a Qlectors collectible that features Yasuke and Naoe on what appears to be a One-Legged Torii gate.
The figure, which is available to purchase on Big Bad Toy Store, is created by Pure Arts.
The official description for the toy states, “Legendary Samurai Yasuke and stealthy Shinobi Naoe, dual protagonists of Assassin’s Creed Shadows, ready to fulfil their destinies and usher in a new era for Japan! Qlectors captures iconic Assassin’s Creed scenes in a qute new 6-inch format, the perfect size to fit in any collection!”
The collectible caught the attention of X user r230614_shin who blasted Ubisoft for greenlighting it as he speculates that Naoe is perched on a One-Legged Torii gate.
As translated by Google, the user wrote, “Please spread the word Assassin’s Creed Shadows figures from Ubisoft, a famous Japanese hate and criminal company. A figurine of a destroyed torii gate has been released, which is believed to be based on the “One-Leg Torii” gate that was destroyed in the Nagasaki atomic bombing.”
He added, “I have never seen a ‘One-Legged Torii’ other than the one destroyed by the American atomic bomb in Nagasaki.”
With Shin bringing attention to the figure, many others roasted Ubisoft for it. YouTuber RazörFist wrote on X, “Ubisoft including an artifact from a nuclear detonation (a one-sided arch) in what promises to be the biggest bomb of the year. God is a stand-up comedian.”
