Ep 98 - Herbo: the Road to Kamuy (Ultraman Leo 19-21)
Covering: Ultraman Leo episodes 19 to 21
This week, we wrap up the Horror Series with three episodes that have nothing to do with horror whatsoever, but all of them for some weird reason are about Hokkaido. I don't know what that's about but I guess it's good that we're reading Golden Kamuy in two weeks. Also enjoy the Dune talk, be mindful of book spoilers for beyond the second movie.

02:28:02||Ep. 110Covering: The・Ultraman (Battle of the Ultra Brothers) manga; The・Ultraman: Jackal vs. Ultraman (short)Happy Ultraman day! This week we take a look at the historically significant (to the franchise at least) manga by Mamoru Uchiyama that was released in the gap between the second and third eras of Showa Ultraman. Somehow, we got guys showing off their Ultraman OCs two weeks in a row. Also we might be the only podcast out there that covers this one!Twitter | Bsky | YouTube | Ko-fiTimestamps:Preamble Section00:00 - Intro03:38 - Assassin's Quest12:50 - Red's many shows16:47 - Paizo Organized Play28:00 - Apothecary Diaries season 231:00 - Uma Musume Pretty DerbyUltraman Section58:10 - Production history1:23:30 - Manga discussion2:21:00 - OutroSources:Relevant imagesDetour Quarry 9 - Yassify My Gwarp - Credit to the Artist (Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX Spoilercast)

Ultraman Leo concludes with a banger set of eps, which include some of the best of the show and giving us what we've wanted since the start of the retool . Which I guess in the end leaves us feeling like Leo is...good, actually? Funny how that works.Twitter | Bsky | YouTube | Ko-fiTimestamps:Preamble Section00:00 - Intro08:18 - Tekken 816:15 - Mad Max 2Ultraman Section16:40 - Ultraman Leo episode 4946:30 - Ultraman Leo episode 501:02:00 - Ultraman Leo episode 512:03:25 - Colour timers2:04:10 - Kaiju rankings2:35:55 - Emails3:23:30 - OutroSources:Kaiju rankingsRelevant imagesMr B tongue re Eve OnlineCrossing fate107.
