History Awesome / TheWolverine

** Logan lights a cigar by blowing up a mobile woodchipper while standing on it.

** There is a subtle CMOA for Viper and Wolverine together, as well. Earlier in the movie, when Viper gave Harada some of the poison that took Wolverine out in the end of the fight, Harada says that his men do not need it. Viper just simply places it in his pocket and tell him that he will need it. And he did, and the only reason he could take down Wolverine was because of it, because nothing else they did couldn't

* One flashback shows how Wolverine saved his benefactor: he saved his life at the [[UsefulNotes/AtomicBombingsOfHiroshimaAndNagasaki atomic bombing of Nagasaki]] by throwing them both down a well and having his own body take the brunt of the blast.

* One flashback shows how Wolverine saved his benefactor: he saved his life at the atomic bombing of Nagasaki by throwing them both down a well and having his own body take the brunt of the blast.

* TheStinger with Magneto and Professor X recruiting Wolverine for [[Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast that which is to come]].

** Yukio also gets to show off her skills against [[AuthorityEqualsAsskicking Shingen]] in what may be one of the best swordfights in the entire movie.

* Yukio. Period. She's a BattleButler and is, overall, just an awesome character.

* After a hellacious fight with the Silver Samurai/[[spoiler: Yashida]] in which he has [[spoiler: his adamantium claws cut off and almost has the life sucked out of him]], Logan finally gets the upper hand in which he literally tears apart the giant mech with his bare hands before pulling [[spoiler: Yashida]] close to him so that he can quip "[[PreMortemOneLiner Sayonara]]" then [[spoiler: throws Yashida out of the building to his death.]]
* Logan [[spoiler: cutting open his chest to pull out the bug that Viper had implanted inside of him on his heart]].

** The way Yukio [[spoiler: takes out Viper]].

* Mariko taking two of Wolverine's sliced off adamantium claws, chucking one of them at [[spoiler:her grandfather's]] [[BoomHeadshot skull]] and impaling his neck with the other complete with a savage PreMortemOneLiner to finish him off.

* Mariko [[spoiler: taking two of Wolverine's sliced off adamantium claws and throwing them at her grandfather, impaling him in the [[BoomHeadshot skull]] and neck]].

* Logan getting ''[[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bisected at the chest]]'' by a sword and then instantly repairing himself not even a millisecond after, which leads up to an epic HesBack moment.

** On the other hand, this is also the Black clan moment of awesome. If you think about it, those ninja probably do not have experience of dealing with Mutant, especially TheBerserker with HealingFactor that would eat them like breakfast. Yet they subvert ConservationOfNinjutsu and did what Stryker in X2 could not do: capture Wolverine, alive, with minimal casualty.

** A successful WinBackTheCrowd: After the much-maligned ''Origins'' (even Jackman was disappointed by it, feeling like it was too much of an undercooked ''X-Men 4'' than a ''Wolverine'' movie), they adapted the long-requested and fan favorite Japanese arcs and dialed the scale back down to give full personal attention to Wolverine (while also treating ''Origins'' as near-CanonDiscontinuity), and the result was a much-better-received movie that Fox immediately gave the greenlight for [[Film/{{Logan}} an ever better received follow-up]].

*** Oh, and that Yashida enforcer [[OnlyAFleshWound was barely phased]] by Logan impaling him with his claws. So Logan threw him off of the train

* Shingen himself, who delivers the aforementioned chest bisection, also has his own (albeit villainous) moments of awesome during this scene. Despite having no superpowers and suffering the effects of Viper’s poison, he still has the sheer balls to hurl himself into battle with Logan — and not only that, he arguably outmatches Logan in pure skill, as he lands several strikes that would have been fatal on any other opponent.

* Wolverine is ambushed by the Black Clan. They decide to fire arrows towards him, ''and he keeps going'' while pierced by arrows to the point CrucifiedHeroShot ''done with arrows'' and pulled by the ropes attached to the arrows and taking three specially poisoned arrows before going down, and taking several arrows before and in between. {{Badass}} doesn't even begin to describe it.

* Yukio. Period. She's a {{Badass}} BattleButler and is, overall, just an awesome character.

* Logan getting ''[[HalfTheManHeUsedToBe bisected at the chest]]'' by a sword and then instantly repairing himself not even a millisecond after. This frankly should've killed him, but then again...he's Wolverine.

* The recently released Extended Train Fight clip.

** Heck any one of Mariko's [[DamseloutofDistress]] moments.

* Wolverine finds a bear in the forest near a ruined camp site, dying of an illegal poisoned arrow. He seeks out the owner of said arrow, impales his hand to the bar with it, then repeatedly pours liquor on his hand while calling him out for antagonizing the bear and leading to the deaths of his friends. Had Yukio not stepped in, he probably would have killed every one of them.

* Yukio. Period. She's a cool, calm and collected {{Badass}} BattleButler. Overall, just an awesome character.
