If you know or anybody else knows. Was the cartoon Afro Samurai that's supposed to be based off him as well any good?

That warlord was Oda Nobunaga. He was one of the most important figures in Japanese history and he liked Yasuke so much he basically have him noble status.
It was pretty good. It has Rza on the soundtrack and Sam L voicing the main characters. Those were highlights.

I'm going to watch that series.

He was depicted like this:
