MF GHOST

MFG is a world-wide popular motorsport. Kanata Rivington is a competitor from England. He meets the mechanic Ogata and a senior racer Aiba while preparing for the race. Meanwhile, he stays at Ren's home and reveals another reason for his return to Japan. On the day of the preliminary race, he picks his car: the Toyota 86 GT. Working as an MFG Angel, Ren is surprised to learn that Kanata is racing.

Kanata participates in MFG's first race, Odawara Pikes Peak. His 86 gets an attention flag on the uphill in Sector 1. Entering Sector 3's downhill, his first run leaves many surprised. But to pass the preliminary, he has to overtake 26 cars. After getting this info from Ogata, he concentrates on his driving and stops responding. What awaits him is the Hakone ghost town in fog, AKA the Death Zone.

Even with poor vision, the 86 skillfully charges through the death zone. MFG's supervising manager, Fumihiro sees the man who fought with them from Kanata's techniques. Kanata approaches the last stretch of the race, rushing to the finish line with the powerful cars chasing from behind. Can he get into the top 15?

Kanata gets to participate in the final after a tough fight. Meanwhile, Ren regrets slapping Kanata, but he hasn't realized she is the Angel. Kanata goes on a stroll through Kamakura with Ren, looking for the place in the photo of his father and late mother. Ren's feelings for Kanata grow stronger. The day of the race approaches and it's time for Kanata to enter the race with the Godly Fifteen.

Facing opponents' monster cars with 600 horsepower, Kanata waits for his opportunity from last place. He shows the power of the 86 on the downhill, overtakes Maezono who got passed by the Yashio Siblings, and raises to 14th place. Ahead are Akabane's Ferrari and Oishi's Lamborghini in a showdown. The assassin from Stuttgart, Beckenbauer catches up to last year's champion, Ishigami's Carrera GT3.

After the foggy death trap, Kanata goes up to 11th. It's revealed that his master is the tragic rally racer Takumi Fujiwara. The upcoming long straight known as The Kamaboko Straight is where he had a hard time in qualifying. Aiba's GT-R and Sakamoto's Audi R8 are in a fight, while Kanata use the slipstream to catch up to the Yashio Sibling's Lotus and Alfa Romeo.

Viewers get excited as the race enters the second lap. The man who placed 4th in last year's race, Kouki Sawatari seems uninterested in the race due to his date. Kanata falls back to 13th place on uphill. Ogata keeps tabs on the 86's tire management, yet Kanata aims to place higher in the rankings. He reaches the downhill section with the Yashio siblings. Does he have a chance to make a comeback?

Kanata's performance on the downhill in sector 3 gets him an attention flag again. The 86 speeds past the Yashio Siblings and even manages to catch up to Hanninen's Lexus. With the death zone approaching, Kanata gets a time count to the car in front of him from Ogata. He is chasing the invisible opponents in the fog. The shortening gap brings the race to the decisive point.

Kanata's outstanding run grants him a rise to 9th place, surpassing both Hanninen and Taylor. In the last section of the Kamaboko Straight, Aiba makes a bitter mistake in the dog fight over 300km/h. Kanata let Taylor lead when entering the straight, ready to leave the showdown to the last corner. The 86 and the Porsche are lined up side-by-side. The long race comes to a close before Ren's eyes.

Kanata returns to his daily life after the fierce battle. Just as Ren is ready to reveal that she is the MFG Angel No.7, Ogata interrupts them. Ogata asks Okuyama at Autoshop Spiral to give the 86 an upgrade. Per Kanata's wish, they upgrade the 86 without modifying the power unit. Okuyama is reminded by Kanata's style of his instructor, Takumi Fujiwara.

The second race Lake Ashinoko GT draws near, Kanata takes the 86 out for a test run to check the update. The more powerful car makes him praise Okuyama. A blue Alpine outruns the 86. It's Kouki Sawatari who didn't participate in the last race. Sawatari had met Kanata in Europe and now sees him as a competitor. The preliminary race starts with the genius Sawatari showing off his capabilities.

In the days leading up to the race, Ren's mother Mayuko coincidentally learns that Kanata inherited a talent from his late mother: the ability to accurately remember an image.  Kanata reveals he uses this skill during races. He has kept it a secret and only Mayuko knows about it.  On the sixth day of the preliminaries, Kanata begins his race. How close can he get to Sawatari's record?
