Just in case anyone wondered what was the big deal with the censor in the first post; they were hiding the fact that the protagonist is the FATHER of Yagyu Jubei, the most single famous Swordman in Japan.

You might argue that Miyamoto Musashi was more famous. But Yagu Jubei had the advantage that his life is basically a blank canvas. Right at the prime of his life as a swordsmen grandmaster, he disappeared from history, only to reappear in the records as a relatively old man. No one really know what he was doing in all these years when he was "off-grid".
This means he became a popular public domain character for whatever fantasy swordman story you want to write about. There is basically no restrictions. So Tales of Jubei became a small trope by itself.

But in this case they are using his FATHER, which is less common. But i guess they need official lore to base stories on.

Well yeah, the point is that he actually has a known history, which is important in the Fate franchise to develop his skills and personality. His more famous son basically went and disappeared and is more a myth than man.
