The Big Picture Within the X-Men universe, few relationships are more immutable than the love triangle between Wolverine, Jean Grey, and Cyclops. Wolverine adores Jean. Jean, depending on the situation, adores Wolverine and Cyclops equally. Cyclops wants to punch Logan, and the feeling's mutual. Aside from 2019's X-Men run implying the three resolved their dilemma via polyamory, this relationship loop is inescapable — except for a defining outlier on Wolverine's part.
Release Date July 26, 2013 Cast Hugh Jackman , Tao Okamoto , Rila Fukushima , Hiroyuki Sanada , Svetlana Khodchenkova , Brian Tee Main Genre Action Director James Mangold Runtime 126 minutes Writers Mark Bomback , Scott Frank , Christopher McQuarrie Tagline When he's most vulnerable, he's most dangerous. Who Is Mariko Yashida in ‘X-Men’? For this Back Issue interview, John Byrne revealed Mariko Yashida's origins.
How Do Wolverine and Mariko Yashida Fall in Love? Their tentative courtship progresses when they accidentally cross paths in New York. Once they're separated again, they keep their long-distance relationship active by exchanging love letters. Then, Mariko's father, Shingen, reappears. Until now, she didn't know her father, whom she presumed dead, was a Yakuza crime lord.
John Byrne added, "I know she got quite a bit tougher after I left. But she was supposed to be the delicate flower, the porcelain doll that he just instantly falls totally in love with because she’s everything that he’s not." Ultimately, the Hand tires of her interference and assassinates Mariko with tetrodotoxin. Logan mercy kills his beloved at her request. The powers that be unfairly condemn Mariko to hell, and she's forced to torture Logan during his brief sojourn into the fiery abyss. Aside from alternate universes where the two find happiness , Mariko's story concludes with her soul trapped in eternal torment.
Japanese Cinema and Culture Influenced ‘X-Men’s’ Wolverine Close Aside from transposing Mariko from Shōgun to X-Men, Toshiro Mifune's performances in director Akira Kurosawa's films Sanjuro and Yojimbo — Mifune also played Lord Toranaga in the 1980 Shōgun miniseries — influenced Claremont and Byrne's approach to Wolverine's moral code.
