Sabretooth brutally kills Akihiro, Wolverine's son, and scatters his body parts in the snowy landscape. Despite Wolverine's intense rage, he proves powerless against Sabretooth and his formidable army. Helpless and restrained, Wolverine witnesses the merciless slaughter of his comrades within the fortress. Tragically, Akihiro's demise is confirmed to be final, devoid of any possibility of resurrection within the established X-Men storyline. The fall of Krakoa and the disabling of mutant revival methods and cloning technologies render any hope of bringing Akihiro back to life utterly impossible.
The ongoing Sabretooth War in X-Men has claimed another casualty, and Wolverine confirms that there will be no resurrections this time. In Wolverine #42, Sabretooth and his army invade the X-Force HQ at the North Pole, killing countless mutants and Wolverine's son, Daken. Wolverine is tied up and forced to witness the deaths of his comrades, reflecting on the loss and the impossibility of coming back from it. This marks a significant shift in the world of comics where death is often just a temporary setback.X-Men character Fang is confirmed to be dead in the X-Men canon, with Wolverine confirming that he will never return. The mutant resurrection protocols are no longer active, and cloning is also off the table. There is no way for Fang to come back, as fans know from the wider narrative surrounding his death. However, there was a dramatic death in Marvel Comics connected to Daken, and there is a chance for Akihiro to return in an unorthodox way. In Dark Reign: The List - Punisher #1, Daken was responsible for Franken-Castle, and now Marvel has the chance to return the favor by bringing Akihiro back in a similar fashion.Unless there is a Mary Shelley-esque creation, Akihiro, a beloved X-Men hero during the Krakoan era, will remain deceased. No one can resurrect him, and there is no one willing to create a perfect clone. As Wolverine has confirmed, Akihiro is permanently dead in X-Men canon, with no hope of revival.
