Wolverine returns to Japan and discovers that the Yakuza and the Hand are scrambling to take control over Clan Yashida in the wake of the death of the Silver Samurai. Yukio tells him, however, that there is already an heir to the throne as the Silver Samurai has a secret son and that son is currently dating Wolverine’s foster daughter, Amiko. The Hand captures Amiko and simply waits for Shin to show up and try and rescue her. Of course, Wolverine, Sabretooth and the Yakuza show up for the party as well.
