Respect Silver Samurai...Or he'll cut you.

[Admin]

Time to reveal the badassery of Wolverine's longtime friend and foe, Kenuichio Harada.




Smacks around the new mutants. Nice accuracy feat with shurikens.










First fight with Wolverine. Wolverine respects his code of honor and doesn't use his claws when they slug it out in hand-to-hand. Also, impressive reflext feat when he blocks numerous bullets. Fight stops when the building collapses.






















Another fight with Wolverine. Wolverine remarks on his skill and reflexes (when he dodges the kick). Silver strikes what would be a killing blow on a normal man, but Wolverine's healing factor let's him withstand the strike, and ultimately takes advantage by cutting off Silver's arm.




















Versus Spider-Man and Black Widow.





























Short encounter with Spider-Man. Minor accuracy feat by cutting his web with a thrown blade.










Brutal fight with Wolverine. Again, Wolverine's healing factor allows him to survive what would be a fatal strike. The fight is stopped when Wolverine is the clear victor.











Owns Baymax, a robotic body guard built by Hiro. Hiro created it to be an excellent unarmed combatant and physically impressive. Clearly, that wasn't enough.









And finally, the final stand and death of Silver Samurai.

More to come later on.

Nice. All of his fights with Wolverine here are very fine.

Thanks, I'd love to get a good 1v1 debate for him.

Wolerine: "He's so good it makes me smile."
LOL

He is more demeaning later on, during their training in Origins, but as a gentleman of honor, he doesn't say it.

Then again, it was written by Way, so you could probably not take it to heart.

I know, but that also came after several days of training. I believe Wolverine remarked that a move Silver made left him open to 6 attacks, and he chose the least painful one. I like the level respect they hold for one another.

Indeed so. It's also rare seeing that many of Wolverine's rogues mock his code of honor and usually use it against him, but the Samurai is similar to him in many ways.

Wow, his death was actually really well done. That was pretty emotional.

[Admin]

It's a nice change of pace. They've had quite a few team-ups, but I didn't include scans of appearances I found to be not impressive. I'll add the Wolverine: Origins brief encounter and training later. He has a few more in Marvel Team-Up, but they're also brief and it just ends with him teleporting away.

[Power NeXus]

Awesome

Agreed.


Thanks, NeXus.

[Morpheus]

His death was well done, but pointless.

As was his appearance in Hell.

"Hey Wolverine, they're killing everyone."

/decapitated, body destroyed

[Morpheus]

That was totally random.

[Crom-Cruach]

Silver samurai died?

Yes, in Wolverine # 1, launched at the end of 2010.

[Crom-Cruach]

O.K then, thanks for the info

[Admin]

I think writers got together and said "We're sort of sick of Wolverine's gallery. Let's abruptly start killing them off. Loeb, get rid of Sabretooth. Way, bring Cyber back, poison him, then give Omega Red a pretty meaningless death. Got it, guys? Good. Oh, wait, Silver Samurai....Whatever, just have him go down fighting other samurai or some shit like that."

The scans of his 'final stand' are included in the OP.
