Expecting a Netflix serie/movie to come up.

There already is a Netflix anime loosely-based on the historical events, although it wasn't a very good adaptation in my opinion.

Another anime, Afro Samurai, which is even more loosely-based, is a lot more interesting, albeit quite over-the-top.

Afro samurai has nothing to do with yasuke evinced by the number of steam punk robot people and rocket propelled grenade launchers.

Great series though!
