  Ubisoft's "Assassin's Creed: Shadow" has officially confirmed that more than 2 million players have joined. However, various controversial content about the game has been constantly dug up by players on the Internet. Among them, the background music of the Yasuke BOSS battle has caused heated discussion because the lyrics are suspected of discriminating against Asians.

At first, some netizens shared the soundtrack of "Assassin's Creed: Shadow", believing that the dubbing, scripts, etc. in the game were the worst in the past 20 years, and even abruptly added the rock and hip-hop style that did not conform to the Warring States Period style.

However, netizens soon pointed out that the lyrics are actually "Swahili", one of the most popular languages ​​in the African continent, and have nothing to do with discriminatory terms. However, the lyrics translated in Swahili to tell the story of “we will massacre each other”, which sparked two disagreements.

One side believes that this lyrics should not appear in the plot of black samurai fighting those Japanese, and is worried that it may incite Asian hatred and other issues; the other side believes that there is no need to over-interpret it, it is just a simple boss fight music.
