Detour Quarry 10 - The Man Who Shot Immortal Sugimoto (Golden Kamuy vol 12-16) — Ultra Queue

Covering: Golden Kamuy volumes 12 to 16

This time we get a truly banger batch of Golden Kamuy, including one in the middle that might be one of the hypest things we've read? Everything comes together and pops off before veering off into new directions we never even dreamed of. We never left but we are so back. Also Mel spent too much time on the bonus history stuff so it's a two-course meal this time! You better appreciate it.
