At the end of The Wolverine, a samurai, visions from the past, and a post-credits scene conclude Logan's second solo outing in the X-Men franchise.
The Wolverine, which followed up the critical dud that was X-Men Origins: Wolverine, ends with an unexpected plot twist and an anticipated post-credits scene. But with the X-Men spinoff stuffing so many new characters together, it can be confusing for viewers to keep track. Mostly playing out as a standalone adventure within the X-Men franchise, the movie deals with Logan, a.k.a. Wolverine, flying off to Tokyo to meet an old acquaintance, who is on his deathbed.
The massive suit Ichirō dons is just "plot armor" with little importance to the final showdown, and doesn't offer much emotional depth behind his betrayal. Considering Wolverine saved his life in 1945, as shown in the movie's opening, Ichirō might have felt something before backstabbing his former friend.
While Logan is not one to easily forgive himself, it is a major moment for him to go a bit easy on himself and make his peace with Jean’s death. The atonement that he was seeking is now attained toward the end of The Wolverine. Logan is no longer the punchline-delivering superhero that he once was. Rather, The Wolverine depicts him as an aging hero coping with loss, a theme only multiped further in the next Wolverine solo movie, Logan, which portrays him as an old man.
