Touring After the Apocalypse Episode 10: Chaos, Heart, and That Sus Boulder Escape

If you thought post-apocalyptic anime was all zombies and doom, Touring After the Apocalypse Episode 10 is here to flip that script. For anyone under 20 who loves adventure with a side of silly chaos and quiet heart, this episode is a must-watch—no gritty survival guides needed, just two girls, a motorcycle, and a digital stamp rally that’s way more dangerous than it sounds.

Let’s dive in: Yoko and Airi’s journey north to Hokkaido hits Oarai first, where Yoko’s sister once took a ferry. They camp out on an old, rusted ferry boat (totally non-operational, but who cares?) and share snacks while Yoko gushes about her sister’s trip. It’s the kind of soft moment that makes you smile—like, even in a world without people, some memories still feel warm. But don’t get too cozy: next stop is the Oya History Museum in Utsunomiya, and it’s freezing down there.

The museum scene is where the episode earns its “mine splunking” title. They’re hunting for a digital stamp (part of their ongoing rally), and let’s just say it’s not a walk in the park. Fans on MyAnimeList were quick to joke about Yoko’s panic over Airi seeing dead bodies: “Wait, isn’t Airi supposed to be her bodyguard?” One user asked. Fair point—Airi’s deadpan, no-nonsense vibe makes her look like she could take down a zombie horde with a wrench, so Yoko’s overprotectiveness is low-key hilarious.

Then comes the boulder incident. Oh, you know the one: a huge rock is about to crush them, and suddenly—boom—lightning (or maybe Benkei’s ghost, as some fans teased) shatters it into dust. Let’s be real, that escape was sus. Fans called it out: “That boulder was shattered, not vaporized!” another user wrote. “Even if it missed, there should have been tons of rock falling around them!” But hey, we’re here for the adventure, not a physics exam—so let’s cut the animators some slack.

What makes this episode work is its balance of fun and heart. Unlike dark shows like The Last of Us (though there’s a nod to it earlier in the series), Touring After the Apocalypse keeps things bright. Yoko’s always chasing memories of her sister, and Airi’s deadpan reactions to her chaos are pure gold. Their friendship is the backbone of the show—Yoko’s the dreamer who wants to see every corner of the ruined world, and Airi’s the practical one who makes sure she doesn’t die trying.

Fans are also buzzing about the AI theories: Is Airi an artificial lifeform? Is Yoko an upgraded version of her? Episode 10 doesn’t answer these questions, but it drops hints—like Airi’s calm under pressure or Yoko’s strange “visions” (as some fans call them). It’s the kind of mystery that keeps you coming back for more.

Another win: the little details that make the world feel alive. The ferry’s rusted railings, the museum’s cold stone walls, the way Yoko lights up when she talks about her sister—these moments make the ruined world feel lived-in, even if most people are gone. And let’s not forget the digital stamp rally—who knew hunting for virtual stamps in a post-apoc world could be so addictive?

At the end of the episode, Yoko and Airi are one step closer to Hokkaido, and you can’t help but root for them. Even in a world where civilization has collapsed, they’re still finding joy in small things: a ferry ride (even if it’s not moving), a stamp hunt (even if it’s freezing), and each other’s company. For under 20s, this show is a reminder that adventure can be found anywhere—even in the ruins.

So, should you watch Episode 10? Absolutely. It’s funny, heartwarming, and just a little bit chaotic. Whether you’re here for the friendship, the adventure, or the mystery of Airi and Yoko’s origins, this episode has something for everyone. And if you’re new to the series—start from the beginning! You won’t regret it.

Final thought: Touring After the Apocalypse isn’t just about the end of the world. It’s about holding onto hope, chasing your dreams, and never forgetting to have fun—even when things get tough. Episode 10 nails that message perfectly. Now, let’s wait for the next episode to see what chaos Yoko and Airi get into next!

P.S. If you love bright, feel-good anime with a post-apoc twist, this is your show. Don’t miss out!
