Yasuke and Naoe are markedly different to play as, with both being suited to wildly different playstyles.

They’re often future villains who stab the protagonist in the back before becoming even more evil. Yet, not every traitor is a villain, or at least, they aren’t villains simply because they’ve betrayed someone. ​​​​​After all, some have great reasons as to why they’ve betrayed their friends, organizations, or countries. They may have been tricked, mistreated, or put in grave danger because of the company they keep....
