Adamantium and healing in The Wolverine
In the last parts of The Wolverine:
Yashida, via the Silver Samurai, drilled into Wolverine's cut-off claws and presumably sucked all the adamantium out of him, as evidenced by his claws becoming pure bone after. However, Yashida becomes visually younger as the adamantium was being removed from Wolverine. Was Wolverine's healing ability getting transferred as well?
Or did the movie become confused with regards to the relation between Wolverine's adamantium and his healing ability?
Best Answer
The Silver Samurai drilled into the stumps of Wolverine's claws in order to begin the process of stealing his healing factor, but he had no interest in the adamantium. He made no effort to collect the claws he had lopped off, or to reclaim the adamantium shavings left behind by his drilling. The adamantium in the rest of Wolverine's skeleton was unaffected.
Once the metal claws were removed, Wolverine's healing factor caused him to regrow his bony claws, similar to the ones he had had for decades before he had been infused with adamantium in the first place. He used these regrown claws in the final moments of the fight with the Silver Samurai.

Did Wolverine have healing powers before adamantium?
Wolverine had healing powers from the very start. Before Wolverine had his skeleton enhanced with Adamantium, his bones were breakable as shown in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.How does adamantium help Wolverine?
It coats the skeleton and claws of both Wolverine and X-23Bad guy Colonel William Stryker originally coated Wolverine's skeleton in the material because the mutant already possessed a knack for healing, meaning he could recover from injuries and surgeries without dying.Did Wolverine lose his healing powers in the Wolverine?
Or he was, anyway. The big development in Paul Cornell's ongoing Wolverine saga is that Wolverine's healing factor has become broken. It was shorted out when he was possessed by a sentient virus from the Microverse.Can Wolverine heal from his skeleton?
Wolverine's adamantium skeleton is a blessing and a curse. Although it makes him stronger, his healing factor constantly fights against metal poisoning. In Logan, the adamantium had eroded his ability to heal and he would have eventually died from being poisoned.X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE Clip - \

Answer 2
The adamantium wasn't being drilled, the claws were cut in order to gain access to the bone underneath. It's more likely Yashida was tapping into wolverines bone marrow to extract the healing factor. In humans new blood cells are created within the bone marrow, so it would be realistic to presume that the bone marrow is a great place to harvest newly created and maybe the purest of wolverines cells.
Answer 3
You are confusing the part as to what yashida exactly wanted. Yashida wanted Wolverine's healing factor to stop himself from dying. As they fight, Yashida in the guise of the Silver Samurai cuts off Logan's claws, and begins stealing his healing factor. From the onset of the movie, Yashida is after Logan's healing factor and not his admantium. When fighting and falling into the well, Yashida starts stealing Logan's healing ability, which results in the mentioned scene.
Answer 4
It was definitely just to get to the bone marrow. All of his bones are covered in adamantium so the bone marrow wouldn't be accessible without removing it or cutting it in two. He already had plenty of the metal which he needed to build the suit.
