😆watakushi is an incredible pronoun for logan wow. i think my assumption reading this would have absolutely been that he learned japanese from a young woman, since he's always hanging out with them, and just never changed the way he speaks after that so he talks like her. not super in-character, but not entirely implausible either.
just discussed this with my sister and she pointed out that logan does tend to be at his most polite and formal in japanese, and watakushi is kind of arachaic but that's valid he did learn it a long time ago so maybe this is in fact his samurai voice.
so she proposed the funniest in-character pronoun would be 'ware.'
i was like, okay his modern persona is vaguely thuggish most of the time, even though that's definitely not how he originally learned to speak english, and i can see him picking 'oira' while say in japan with the x-men to maintain like. continuity.
resulting proposal: he starts falling into formal and archaic japanese after like 35 straight hours awake.
someone who also speaks japanese: logan, why do you sound like you're from the 19th century???
logan, rubbing his aching eye sockets with the heels of his hands to be sure of not accidentally stabbing himself through the head: cuz i am from the goddamn 19th century. gimme a beer.
