Season 12 Episode 10 Tom & Andrea return to the Hamburger Samurai genre, this time with a new protagonist, in Ghost of Yotei. It's 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima, and this time we follow Atsu on a revenge mission, after her entire life was destroyed at the tender age of twelve. The Yotei Six are her targets, and she'll search all of Ezo to find each one, and make them pay for their crimes against her family. All the while, growing her wolf pack, as she learns the importance of letting people into her new life, instead of shutting them out. If you have been wanting to relive or find out what happens in Ghost of Yotei, be sure to come along. This is a season finale you won't want to miss. Thanks for hanging out!
