Synopsis: In a local bar, Wolverine is drunk and engaged in combat with a former sumo wrestler. After he tosses his combatant out the window, he and his partner in crime, Yukio, head outside. They are approached by Asano Kimura, who is waiting for them. Asano asks Wolverine for his help in taking down a crime-lord who has a power base from which he means to seize control of the country itself. Wolverine, after some coaxing from Yukio, declines Asano’s offer and heads down to the train tracks with Yukio. After a game of chicken with a bullet train, Wolverine falls asleep. As he sleeps, he dreams of himself in traditional Japanese warrior garb. In this dream, he is attempting to make contact with Mariko but is unable, thanks to numerous Japanese warriors that fill his body full of arrows. When he reaches Mariko, she hits him with another arrow, and hurts him again, this time his pride. While he sleeps, Yukio is approached by the Hand, who orders her to kill Wolverine, based on orders from Lord Shingen. Yukio defies them and kills the members of the Hand instead. As she attempts to awaken Wolverine, he wakes and utters the name of Mariko. Yukio is highly upset and floors him again with a kick to his face. Yukio then makes his way to Wolverine’s hotel room. Her intentions are unclear but, when someone enters the room, she drops them with a blade to their neck. Wolverine enters the room to find Asano dead from one of Yukio’s blades. He recognizes the scent on the blade and realizes that Yukio has been lying to him the entire time. He chases after her on the rooftops of Tokyo. He finally catches up to her and they land in a garden. Wolverine is about to take her out when the Hand arrives and attacks him. Wolverine is able to take out all of the members of the Hand in turn. After the battle, Wolverine feels weary. After some inner reflection, he realizes that it’s not about winning or losing. It’s about making the attempt. He then makes the promise to himself that he’s going to go after Shingen. Shingen’s biggest mistake was calling him a beast, and not a man!! And that mistake is going to cost him.
