Wolverine (1982) is the first solo adventure of X-Men Breakout Character Wolverine. A four-issue miniseries written by Chris Claremont with layouts by Frank Miller and pencils by Joe Rubinstein, it is considered one of Wolverine’s defining stories and features some of the most iconic images of the character’s career.In earlier X-Men issues, Wolverine met Mariko Yashida, a Japanese woman, from the powerful Yashida family, and the two started a romance. In the Wolverine series, he returns to the USA to find that Mariko's vanished - her long-absent father has returned, and Mariko is now back in Japan with her family, who are not letting Logan contact her. When Logan travels to Japan to find her, he finds Mariko ensnared in family duty and her father's debts. And he swiftly finds that her father is a very dangerous man.The series introduces several important characters to Wolverine's mythology, such as Mariko's father Shingen and the assassin Yukio. The miniseries had been set up over the course of dozens of issues in Uncanny X-Men and appropriately had an immediate follow-up in Issues 172 and 173 of that series. Tropes from the Uncanny issues will be provided on this page as well.The comic had a Sequel Series of a sort in the Kitty Pryde And Wolverine miniseries (published in 1984–1985), which was also set in Japan and featured some of the same characters and themes (such as Wolverine's internal conflict between his animal rage and his samurai honor).Many elements of the limited series were later used in the Wolverine anime, including Yukio, Shingen, Mariko, and Logan's buddy on the Japanese Secret Service. The 2013 film The Wolverine also includes characters and concepts from this limited series.The series is followed by Wolverine (1988). | |

Subhuman Surfacing Shot: The cover of Wolverine #9 - Coyote Crossing Part 3 features the man himself, out of costume, rising from a pool of water with claws at the ready and a particularly vicious-looking glare on his face. Judging by the tint of the scene and the jungle in the background, it's likely this was a homage to another instance of this trope in Apocalypse Now. | |

The hunter’s poisoned arrow that pierces the bear’s skin in the Batman Cold Open doesn’t take it down immediately and leads to several deaths as it is driven mad by the toxin thanks to the hunter not bothering to finish it off when he had the chance. | |

Honor Before Reason: The characters’ struggle to find balance between honor and reason could be seen as the primary theme of the miniseries, with Logan wondering if he is an honorable man and Mariko staying with an abusive husband for the sake of her father’s honor. Played with thanks to Mastermind’s manipulation of Mariko at the end of the story, with her being tricked into considering Logan to be a dishonorable figure and breaking off their engagement. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Wolverine (1982) (Comic Book) / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: Shingen is repeatedly referred to as the daimyÅ� of Clan Yashida, implying that the Yashidas are nobility ("daimyÅ�" is a hereditary noble title). In reality, the institution of daimyÅ� was abolished (along with the samurai) in the mid-19th century following the Meiji Restoration; it was replaced with the institution of kazoku (è�¯æ—�), a new class of hereditary nobility recognized by the government of Imperial Japan. And even that title was abolished after World War II: modern-day Japan has no noble families other than the Imperial Family, and only immediate relatives of the Emperor can claim to be nobility.note A possible Hand Wave is that Clan Yashida is just a wealthy yakuza family—but if that's the case, Shingen's title should be oyabun (親分), not daimyÅ�. | |

Heel–Face Turn | |
| Wolverine (1982) (Comic Book) / int_617f0563 | comment |
Heel–Face Turn: Part of the Uncanny X-Men issues resolve the plotline from the previous issue of Uncanny, where Rogue tearfully asked to join the X-Men. While the other X-Men have grudgingly accepted hernote it will take a few more issues (and two Heroic Sacrifices for trust in her to be completely established), Logan still has a burning hatred of her and does not trust her turn. He has good reason — Carol Danvers, Ms. Marvel, was Rogue's first victim in the comics and a close friend of Logan's. His first words once he realizes Rogue is with the team is "M'iko, if it were up to me, I'd cut out her heart." He grudgingly teams up with her, but treats her mostly as an annoying albatross and as a trap canary, and when he saves her life, threatens to kill her if she ever even jokes about using her powers on him or anyone elsenote this is prompted by Rogue making an ill-timed joke saying "Mah hero. That deserves a kiss". It is the pure fact that she was only joking that made Wolvie spare her life. It's only at the climax of the second issue that he accepts the Heel–Face Turn when Rogue interposes herself between a weakened Wolverine and Mariko and a laser beam shot by Viper. Rogue tanks the beam until the gun explodes and there is a glowing hole where her chest once was. Laying there dying, Wolverine says that he will loan her her powers. She refuses, saying that he risks dying without them. He kisses her anyway. In an interior monologue, Wolverine says that he owes a debt to Rogue for risking her life for Mariko, and he is going to pay that debt back. | |

Badass Normal: Yukio has no powers, but is able to keep up with Logan throughout the miniseries being the greatest assassin of Clan Yashida. She shows Storm a thing or two when the X-Men come to Japan, foreshadowing her imminent power loss and use of only her natural skills while maintaining her position as leader of the X-Men. Lord Shingen. Though he’s surrounded by sumo bodyguards and has a legion of ninja assassins at his beck-and-call he chooses to face Logan personally and nearly kills him both times. Not too bad for an elderly man with no powers to speak of going up against a berserker with a healing factor and claws that can cut through anything. | |

Signature Style: For a book written by Chris Claremont, the miniseries has a lot of Frank Miller's writing quirks — Film Noir style Inner Monologue, Ninja, Honor Before Reason, and Deconstruction/Reconstruction of the protagonist. Downplayed in that Claremont had been utilizing these elements in stories involving Wolverine for years in the buildup to this story. | |

Japanese Politeness: Mariko plays the Yamato Nadeshiko to the hilt in the story, making sure that all the X-Men are welcome as guests. Even Rogue, whom Wolverine just got through saying that if it were up to him, he'd cut her heart out. This partly saves Mariko's life, as Rogue repays the kindness by nearly sacrificing her life to save Mariko and Wolverine from a laser blast from Viper. | |

Rōnin | |
| Wolverine (1982) (Comic Book) / int_c3b32bf1 | comment |
Rōnin: Yukio considers herself to be this after leaving Clan Yashida’s employ. Logan himself would come to personify this archetype, especially after Mariko grants him ownership of the Masamune blade. | |

Seppuku | |
| Wolverine (1982) (Comic Book) / int_c78d3e08 | comment |
Seppuku: If Wolverine was not around, Mariko would have killed her father for bringing dishonor to the family, and then suicide (or die trying to kill her father). In any case, she would not live in dishonor. But Wolverine did it first, saving her from that dilemma. | |

Action Girl | |

Action Girl: Yukio. To the point that she would have sex with Wolverine on the rails of the supersonic train, just for the thrill of the risk. | |

Kiss of Death | |
| Wolverine (1982) (Comic Book) / int_dc67d9ba | comment |
Kiss of Death: Rogue jokes about doing this to Logan when they’re on their own searching for the Yakuza. He tells her he’ll kill her if she even jokes about it again. Given what her kisses do (and have done in the past to Logan's friends), it is not an idle threat. Logan’s anger at this makes the moment where he kisses her to pass along his healing factor after she takes the bullet for Mariko even more powerful. | |

Translation Convention | |
| Wolverine (1982) (Comic Book) / int_e11b003d | comment |
Translation Convention: Text enclosed in < > is in Japanese, as per Marvel house-style. Since the events are set in Japan and the only “gaijin� is Wolverine until the X-Men arrive, the majority of spoken dialog is stylized this way, with Logan’s internal dialog being written in the standard format. | |
