During WWII Wolverine (Hugh Jackman)was a prisoner of war in a Japanese prison camp near Nagasaki. We see the atomic blast, and wolverine saves a Japanese guard, Yashida (Hal Yamanouchi) using his mutant powers.
Some years later, Yukio (Rila Fukushima) catches up with him in the back country where he has been living since killing Jean, and convinces him to see Yashida one last time as he is dying and wants to say goodbye. But more is going on. Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova) has poisoned Wolverine and he is losing his powers; his regeneration is slower and wounds are not healing as they should. Yashida passes away shortly after after the say their goodbyes. But not before he confides to Logan/Wolverine that people are trying to kill his granddaughter, Mariko (Tao Okamoto) and when they make the attempt Wolverine intervenes. However with his diminished ability.
In this show we get a view at Japanese culture and customs. I didn't know it was a bad omen to leave the chopsticks sticking up. This movie leads to a very tense conclusion.
