** Also, Takeo and Hisako are acting like [[{{Manga/Naruto}} Neji and Hinata, and because Naruto is not around, Hisako will be the one to soften Takeo up on her own]].

* {{ImmortalHero}/{{InvincibleHero}}: Wolverine in his series gets the crap beat out of him and normally lethal injuries numerous times nearly every episode by more skilled, powerful, or numerous enemies. Thanks to his healing factor he always lasts long enough to squeak out a win.

* WolverinePublicity: Guess who is the only character who'll be making an appearance in all four? Go on, guess.

Featuring Anime/IronMan, Anime/{{Wolverine}}, the Anime/{{X-Men}} and Anime/{{Blade}} as the leads of their respective shows, each of their stories involve travelling to Japan either to simply save the day, [[ItsPersonal motivated by revenge in the case of Wolverine]], to save a kidnapped member of the X-Men, or to slay a few vampires hiding there. Supervised by WarrenEllis (with the exception of ''Blade'', for reasons you will find out scrolling down), the anthology is said to create an entire parallel universe for Marvel, according to representatives of the company.

** WataruTakagi as Todd

* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: Yui Sasaki, Professor X's old lover]] in the ''XMen'' anime; because [[spoiler: her]] son is a mutant, [[spoiler: she]] kept him isolated from society all his life and is dedicated to creating a retro-virus that attacks and deletes the mutant gene, forcing all mutants to be rendered genetically human again whether they want to or not. To this end, [[spoiler: she]] employs the U-Men to abduct and murder innocent mutants to supply [[spoiler: her]] with a constant supply of mutant tissues to culture her virus in/from. Oh, and the end result of [[spoiler: her]] virus is that it supercharges the mutant's X-gene, resulting in [[BodyHorror grotesque mutations]] that ultimately kill them off in a ghastly way.

* WTHCastingAgency: In all things X-Men recently, SteveBlum has been the voice of Wolverine. In the Marvel Anime X-Men serial, and Wolvie's cameos in the other serials, he's also voiced by Blum... but ''not in Marvel Anime: Wolverine,'' in which ''[[{{Heroes}} Peter Petrelli]]'' voices him, and SteveBlum voices ''his EnigmaticMinion rival.'' Ooookay...

* DroppedABridgeOnHer: Every female lead gets killed off in an unnecessarily contrived manner, for absolutely no logical reason, by the end of the series they appear in. Well except for X-men. Because the [[DarkPhoenixSaga character in question]] [[PosthumousCharacter dies in the prologue instead]].

* TwelveEpisosdeAnime: all of them.
