The 15th episode of the TV anime "MF Ghost," based on the "successor" to the popular manga "Initial D" by Shuichi Shigeno, "The Light and Dark of the Ekiden Straight," will be broadcast on TOKYO MX and other stations late at night on October 20th.
Kanata, who has no trouble on the wet road surface, passes Otani and then Taylor. He catches up with Sakamoto's Audi and closes in on the third place group, which was made up of high-powered machines. The third place group enters the straight line that runs along the shore of Lake Ashi, known as the Ekiden Straight, and a fierce battle unfolds, kicking up spray. Further behind, Aiba's Nissan GT-R and Otani's AMG-GTR begin a one-on-one straight battle. Attention is focused on which of the Japanese and German GTRs will come out on top.
