Original subtitles

Wolverine, well, you're looking pretty tough and you've got some strong sharp claws there.

Sorry, bub, when it comes to those two things, I'm the best there is or ever was, period.

I'm sorry, but I'm not the best there is.

I'm the best there is, but I'm not the best there is.

I'm the best there is, but I'm not the best there is.

I'm the best there is, but I'm not the best there is.

I'm the best there is, but I'm not the best there is.

I'm the best there is, but I'm the best there is.

I'm the best there is, but I'm not the best there is.

I'm the best there is, but I'm not the best there is.

I'm the best there is, but I'm not the best there is.

I must have to stop.

What is that?

The name is Wolverine.

I'm in downtown Techno Isle, Tokyo, where the standoff between the Avengers and Sabretooth has taken on a new twist with the arrival of Wolverine.

There's no telling where this confrontation might lead, but if mutants are involved, there's bound to be troubled.

This is Rosetta Riley, BNC News.

These fools have no idea how to throw a party.

How dare they start the fun without me when I'm bringing the appetizers.

Oh, I see you're still paddling around with the humans, huh, Wolverine?

It's better than being an errand boy for a Weasley bug like Loki, Sabretooth.

Shut your face. Bring it on.

Okay, guys, if you've got issues with each other, get some counseling.

Right now, we really don't have time to deal with--

Stay out of it, Tin Man.

Say what?

This is between him and me.

Oh, it is, huh?

Just calm down. What Iron Man's trying to say is that there's no substitute for teamwork, as I'm sure you well know being a member of the X-Men.

Friends of yours?

More of them.

Give me a break. It's like there's an inexhaustible supply of these robot muscle men.

There must have been a clearance sale somewhere.

They're no friends of mine.

What do they think they're doing?

I said no interference!

Wolverine, watch out!

Great. Now we're stuck dealing with them.

Good, then we get to have all the fun.

The Destroyers are just soulless, lifeless machines. You need not go easy on them.

Wasn't planning to. All right, then. Avengers Assemble!

I told you to stay out of my way.

You just watch it. If anything happens to me, you'll be stuck inside this disc forever.

Hang on, lady. You know what that sounded like? It sounded like a threat.

Are you actually threatening me, you puny human? I'm gonna have to teach you a lesson!

School's in session.

Desecure completed.

Look at that. Even the shape of the disc changed. Or should I say mutated?

These mutants give me the creeps.

Speaking of creeps, what's the big idea of putting into my business?

Oh, you mean the Destroyers. Sorry, love. Just trying to keep things interesting.

Sabre tooth's like a wild beast. Uncontrollable. I like him.

Hulk smash!

Shield throw!

Didn't even phase it.

But at first you don't succeed. Try, try again!

Leave the last one to me. What? Wait! Wolverine! You'll be toast!

Is he okay?

I've been to weenie roasts that were higher. Is that really the best you can do?

Guess he doesn't take criticism well.

Look, buddy, I'm sorry that Cyclops and the others were trapped in the discs.

I feel partially to blame since I'm the guy who invented the things.

But believe me, I'm doing everything I can to free them.

You're directing your anger at the wrong target, Wolverine. Loki is the real enemy.

He's the one behind all this chaos. Why not join us in the battle against him?

Hey, yeah, I like that plan. The Avengers and the X-Men, now there's a dream team for you.

Oh yeah, the X-Men rock. You say everyone rocks. Yeah.

You're all so clueless. You have no idea what you've done. You humans are all the same.

Wait a minute. Tony just said he was sorry. What's your problem? I mean, what's on your mind?

I don't suppose you've ever heard of something called the Sentinels, have you?

The Sentinels?

That's right. They were robots, designed by humans, of course, for the sole purpose of finding and capturing us mutants.

Thousands, tens of thousands of innocent mutants were rounded up and thrown into prisons.

It's no wonder you haven't heard of them. All of it happened before you were even born.

Back in the dark days before mutants' rights were protected by laws of the government.

It wasn't exactly the proudest moment in the history of the human race.

These discs of yours could end up being just as bad. It's the Sentinels all over again.

You're wrong. That's not fair, Wolverine. Those days are long gone. It could never happen again. We've learned from our mistakes.

Tell that to Cyclops.

I disagree with you, Wolverine, but I can appreciate why you'd have doubts.

Most humans, once they get power in their hands, can't help but use it. And keep using it.

Until at last it's the power that's using them.

And knowing that, you're still planning to go to Stark's launch party?

Yes.

Sure, the laws may have changed, but human nature hasn't. A lot of them still want to put us away.

These discs could be just another kind of prison.

Have you already forgotten?

It's time for a review.

Professor X.

When attempting to resolve a complex problem, one must always try and remain aware of the origin of things.

Let me ask you a question. Why was it that I formed the X-Men, Cyclops?

To break down the walls of distrust between us, mutants, and humans. To create a world in which we can coexist peacefully.

That's it precisely. And someone needs to lead the way.

If we, the X-Men, don't demonstrate that we trust humanity, who will?

That's so messed up.

Yeah.

I mean, I don't understand. Why's everyone so weirded out by mutants anyway?

Thor can fly, Wasp can shrink, people don't hate them. They think they're superheroes.

You wear armor and fire beams out of your hands. And Spider-Man, even-

Akira.

People have a hard time accepting anyone who's different. That's just how it is.

At least that's how it's always been. But maybe your generation will be the first to see how messed up it is.

Akira, promise me you'll feel the same way when you grow up. You promise?

Yeah.

Attaboy.

*gasp*

Where am I?

We finally meet.

There's no need to be afraid. I am your friend.

I'm here to help you, Noriko.

Noriko.

Hey, Noriko.

Everything okay? You seem to be a million miles away just now.

No, I'm right here. I'm fine, really. I was just...

I think we both could use some fresh air. How about it?

Oh, uh, sure.

Sorry, Hikaru. After you were nice enough to help me, then I go drifting off like that.

Oh, no. It's probably my fault for not explaining it very well.

Molecular biology isn't really my field.

You explained it really well. I totally understood.

Really?

Oh, yeah, totally.

Good. I'm glad.

Hey, did you see Wolverine fighting against that bad guy on TV yesterday?

Oh, uh, yeah.

If I left school just a little bit earlier, I would have been right in the middle of it. How about you? Did you get home okay?

Yeah, fine.

Oh, yeah, I guess so. 'Cause if you'd been hurt or anything, you probably wouldn't be sitting here talking to me right now, would you?

Did you hear about the Avengers?

There's a rumor it's a bunch of kids who are summoning them using some kind of magic device.

They've even been caught on video, but somebody, the government or something, is doing everything they can to make sure the footage doesn't get out.

Check it out. See what I mean?

I guess Mr. Stark's cover-up operation is not as reliable as we thought.

We've all got to be a lot more careful to keep the discs secret.

What? What is it?

Is something wrong?

Hikaru.

What? What?

Those bad guys are scary. Will you walk me home, please?

We could get a bite to eat on the way and maybe catch a movie.

What's keeping Hikaru?

What are you, his mother? Stop worrying about him. Maybe stop for something to eat.

That's right. Dinner. I've been saving a yummy squash in zucchini casserole I made.

Oh, my gosh. With everything that happened today, I completely forgot to put it in the oven.

What a shame! That means takeout!

So that's what you think of my cooking.

Can we get sushi?

I don't know if that sounds good to me.

Keep your arms in tight as you strike.

Like that?

That's the idea. Good job.

Don't tell me.

Huh?

You were thinking about that guy. What's his name, Bucky?

I think that's enough for today. Don't forget to do your stretches.

Ed told me all about it. How this Bucky kid used to be your partner.

How it all went wrong one day when you were fighting some guy called Baron Zemo or something.

Yes. And it was all my fault. I couldn't save him.

This is really all about him, isn't it? Not me.

No, Chris.

Oh, yeah? You sure about that?

Look, Chris, why don't you take a minute to cool off, okay?

Whatever.

That movie was so funny.

I'm glad you liked it.

Oh, you didn't? Sorry, was it too silly? Was it too much of a kid's movie for you?

Oh, um, well, no, I really liked it. Best one I've seen all year.

I'm glad.

Help!

Who was that?

Stay away from me.

What do you guys want?

Nothing.

Just given time, that's all.

Leave him alone.

Oh, Lucas, come to the rescue.

Watch out, guys. Maybe it's a couple of those Avengers we saw in the news last night.

Or maybe not.

Wait, Kikaru.

So which superhero are you, puny man?

That was awesome.

Oh, you know, fulcrum, force and leverage.

It's all just simple physics, that's all.

And a genius, too.

Now we've got him.

Oh.

Why is this happening?

Why?

No!

There is no need to be afraid.

I am your friend.

I'm here to help you, Noriko.

I've waited a long time to meet you.

Who are you?

Noriko?

That girl's a freak.

Let's beat it.

I am Professor X.

I am speaking telepathically, directly to your mind.

I'm doing so because I continually search the world,

seeking out others who are like us.

Like us?

Yes.

Those who are in possession of special abilities.

Mutants such as yourself.

Mutants?

Yes, Noriko, for that is what you are.

Mutants?

Calm down.

Don't take it so hard, little lady.

Wolverine.

This is short circuit things.

And if that's the case, I've got a little favor to ask.
