Yasuo is not original (PROOF INCLUDED)

So first off, Yasuo is not a samurai, it was never confirmed and was in fact KNOWN by riot and most that he was a wanderer that seemingly looked like a samurai but was simply a guardian now out of luck without a job. Which also by the way, is a COPIED idea. Here let me provide to you what I mean

Any and everyone that cares to find the truth behind Yasuo's supposed "original concept", search up Vagabond, Manga or Vagabond Musashi Miyamoto

Now, in this manga, which has sold 50+ million copies worldwide, ridiculously successful thus why riot hasn't been called out on it, the creator already made bank, and riot is insignificant in the face of true content creators. This manga stars Musashi Miyamoto who at an early age of 13 "was a wanderer" and was without his parent or "guardian" now "out of luck without a job". See this pattern? Let's continue.

In his case, which is the 1% riot did original is that he is no nonsense wind user, but he was a "samurai looking wanderer at first. Which slowly grew into a Ronin, a rogue masterless, note MASTERLESS!!!, samurai. See? Copied entirely.

The Vagabond was an original tribute and Chanbara to Musashi Miyamoto's accounts of life, all fictional but historically accurate within the manga.

Notice how very much copied and copyright lacking Riot is? How very sneaky, falsely correct and corrupted they are? I'll leave the rest to the esteemed community.

I just want to point out that Miyamato Musashi was a real person, who was famed for DUEL WIELDING. Is Yasuo a duel wielder? No. Is Yasuo a ronin? Also no. A ronin would've required him to have been a samurai or a serf at some point.

Did this Musashi kill his master? Was he accused of killing his master? Did he have to kill his own brother? Did Musashi in any way use some sort of air technique?

Or are you just pulling the most shallow of comparisons and saying they're the same?

Lol just what I like to see, a weeb who gets angry over nothing and makes things up. Yasuo is a champion based off real life swordsman Musashi Miyamoto, a famed Japanese ronin during the later Sengoku period. Yasuo however isn't a straight up copy, he doesn't dual wield his weapons, meaning not using more than one at once, nor does he carry any other blade with him. He uses the damn wind as his weapon, like how far do you need to stretch it to make yourself seem credible? Yasuo was not a wanderer at the age of 12, he left during the Noxus-Ionia conflict, which happened recently lore-wise and he is definitely not a teenager. It never stated he was without parent or guardian early on, anywhere, nor out of luck without a job. Yasuo can't be a ronin (Which means you are a SAMURAI without a leader, being ronin doesn't disqualify you from being a samurai always) as he is not a masterless Samurai, ultimately he serves his homeland currently looking for a killer albeit against his town/village's will as they think he is a traitor, that does not make him a ronin just because he's thought a traitor, so was Saigo Takamori, dubbed the "Last Samurai." Since you think Yasuo is a copy of Miyamoto manga or whatever the fuck that is, how can the manga not be a copy of Miyamoto since they never got his express permission, huh? You ever think they just based some of his character off of the actual famous swordsman and not some anime shit. His core concept is maybe 15% of that general likeness, samurai, famed swordsman, duelist.

The "Ronin" archetype is in and of itself not sufficient to even approach plagiarism. It's like complaining about Mundo just because he's a mad scientist, or saying that Shen isn't original because of Naruto. It's tangentially related at best.

You contradicted yourself here. If he wasn't a samurai, then he couldn't have been a ronin. Common sense.

Riot gets a lot of inspiration from other sources. final boss veigar for example is basically nothing but a whole bunch of references to other video games.

That is Yasuo, this usually leads to a last resort use of the sheath as an additional weapon, ding ding DUAL WIELD. ONLY in EDO PERIODS and samurai periods, so basically prior to the 18th century.
