Storyline
The X-Men show up in Japan for Wolverine's wedding and Wolverine isn't happy to see newest member, Rogue. Wolverine and Nightcrawler help Yukio battle the Silver Samurai who is lurking about. Wolverine explains to Storm that Mariko's father was deeply involved in organized crime and he plans on cleaning up Clan Yashida. Viper sneaks in and poisons the X-Men.

Story Notes
Continued from Wolverine (Marvel, 1982 series) #4. In a "what is she talking about" moment, Rogue tells Wolverine that the poison wasn't as effective on her as she is "half-alien." (undoubtedly a reference to the Ms. Marvel powers and memories she took from Carol Danvers - Rogue occasionally calls herself a "Kree warrior" when the Danvers personality surfaces).
