That'd be kinda hard considering there's virtually no info on Yasuke historically, not even what his actual name was. Compared to other gaijin historical figures like William Adams, there's not really any known info about him so any portrayal about him has to take a lot of liberties.
I think he means in regards to the setting, as far as we know feudal Japan did not have mechs and magic.

The guy that voiced Yasuke in the Nioh Games would be a good English VA for the guy, but I don't think thats planned.

Chadwick Boseman was going to play Yasuke in a movie but the coronavirus and Chadwick's death might have canceled that project.

I'm excited for this so far. I wish Children of Ether actually developed into a series, but oh well.
