It's pretty hilarious how Nobunaga thought they were bullshitting him.

Oda got him as a gift from a church dude.
Oda being the first westaboo got along with him well and both used to talk a lot.
One day Oda saw him take a bath and saw that his skin actually was black, Oda thought it was paint and this impressed him.
Oda decided to free him and make him a samurai because he liked him and also to piss everyone off.
Tokugawa did something similar with William but with Tokugawa it was more a way to get him to stop wanting to go home since William was a hostage to Tokugawa since Tokugawa wanted to learn how to make Frigates.

The game is based on real people and events, so the real Yasuke got a bath from an asian man? And he gave him freedom?

Oda thought that he was dark due to paint, so he made him bath and saw that it was actually his skin.
Its like when you check if a girl has a bulge

Basically. He was actually a missionary who was there on call, and happened to end up in the same town Nobunaga was chilling in. He was like 6'4', so he was this giant void man talking about god to the villagers.
The "bath" part is taken from a witness account, who said that the villagers tried to literally scrub the black off him, thinking it was charcoal or something.
Making someone a samurai was a big deal back then, even bigger when the person made a samurai is a foreigner.
