Synopsis: In the Canadian Rockies, Wolverine is tracking down a bear, which has already killed seven men, three women, and five kids. Once he finds the bear, Wolverine is locked in a struggle with him until it ends with the bear’s ultimate demise. Wolverine finds an illegal poison-tipped arrow in the back of the bear, which leads him to a local bar and an unscrupulous hunter. After Wolverine turns him into the authorities, he makes his way back to the X-mansion in New York. Once there, he finds a number of letters and cards that he sent to Mariko Yashida, returned and unopened. When he tries to call her, he is hung up on. Concerned, he gets on the next plane out to Tokyo to see her. In Tokyo, he is met by a man by the name of Asano Kimura, a former associate of his. He learns from Asano that Mariko is now married. Ignoring pleas from Asano to not purse the matter, he makes his way to the Yashida ancestral stronghold in the port city of Agarashima. Wolverine is able to locate Mariko and after a brief, heartfelt discussion, he finds out that her new husband beats her. As they are talking, Mariko’s husband walks in on them talking. Wolverine is going to kill him for what he did to Mariko but she pleads with him not to. Disgusted, Wolverine goes to leave the palace when he is struck by poisoned throwing stars. When he awakes, he meets Lord Shingen, Mariko’s father, who challenges him to a duel with wooden swords. Shingen is able to get the better of Wolverine in all aspects, until Wolverine ultimately drops the sword in favor of his claws. This does not matter, however, as Shingen is able to best him in combat. With Wolverine beaten, Shingen shows Mariko what Wolverine is - an animal in the form of a man. Disgusted by this, Mariko turns her back on him. When he awakens, Wolverine is in an alley in Tokyo. He is about to be beaten up some more, until a mysterious female stranger arrives in the nick of time to save him. Once she does, she indicates to Wolverine that he is hers, now and forever.
