MF Ghost (2023) s02e08 Episode Script

1
Both sides are gradually closing in.
Akaba's Car No. 2 is in hot pursuit.
Now they are 1.96 seconds apart.
Don't give up, Car No. 86.
Show your pride!
The fantastic last lap!
The most thrilling scene in MFG history
is right before me.
(MF GHOST Season 2)
(Turn 20: Conclusion)
The battle for sixth place is underway
on the Ekiden Straight.
Aiba, driving Car No. 9,
is closing in on Sakamoto's Car No. 5.
He's now bursting
out of the slipstream.
Don't underestimate me.
My car is a mid-engine 4WD model.
When it comes to top speed,
it won't lose to your lousy Nissan.
Watch me turn the tables!
Car No. 5 is half a car length ahead.
And Car No. 9
AZEYA
is not giving in.
Neither side is yielding to the other.
The brake point is just ahead.
Both cars enter
the cornering simultaneously.
Car No. 9, slightly too fast,
is drifting outward.
Dangerous!
That's the thing
that pisses me off the most.
Once agitated, you dare to cross the line
of life and death casually.
Competing with a fool with no fear,
I might suffer.
Both sides are racing side by side
on the narrow National Highway Route 1.
What will be the outcome
of this exciting battle?
Let's switch the camera.
Now let's look at
the much-anticipated battle for third place.
Car No. 2
is right behind Car No. 86.
However, overtaking
won't be so easy for him.
Car No. 86's cornering speed is very fast.
You are really something, impressive.
Although you haven't made
any obvious blocking moves,
there's no room for me to cut in.
You must have accumulated
a lot of racing experience.
I don't want to decide the winner
during the cornering.
Let's watch the leading group's struggle
between Car No. 12 and Car No. 4.
Even though I'm one step away
from driving him into a corner,
this is racing.
Although the gap seems small, the difference
between first place and second place is poles apart.
It's really frustrating.
This is my third year in MFG,
yet today is the first time
I feel so regretful and want to cry.
Both sides pass through the final turn,
heading towards the finish line
on the Hakone Pass.
Two cars drive straight along
the No.1 line for the last lap.
And now
Crossing the finish line!
The champion is Michael Beckenbauer.
Continuing his opening race performance,
he secures a second consecutive win.
He is gradually building up
a formidable fortress.
Fantastic,
Michael Beckenbauer!
FINISH, MICHAEL BECKENBAUER
Michael Beckenbauer
brought us an exciting race
SCORING 18 POINTS, FIRST PLACE
brought us an exciting race.
Alright, let's move on
to the battle for third place.
I'm more concerned about
the situation over there now.
This kind of not-quite-dry road
is the most troublesome,
making me think the tires grip to the ground,
but would slip occasionally.
I'll cut my car in under the overpass
of Hakone New Road ahead.
As long as I can be side by side with him,
then I can fight it out in the final corner.
This way, he'll be at a loss.
The finish line is right ahead.
The battle for third place
is quite fierce.
Car No. 2 wants to use brake skills
to get alongside the car in front.
But Car No. 86's cornering speed
is very fast.
Then I'll switch lanes with him.
Let's fight it out
at the exit of the final corner.
Car No. 86 went straight into
the final corner without braking.
Car No. 2 entered the corner
from the outside lane with a light brake.
If the horizontal G force remains,
I'm definitely going to lose.
To keep a glimmer of hope,
I must eliminate the horizontal G force.
Both sides have switched lanes.
The two cars are fighting it out
with acceleration on the final climb.
Car No. 2 gradually pulls ahead.
The checkered flag is waved.
Akaba's Car No. 2
led by half a car length.
Oh.
Come on. So disappointed.
What a dramatic outcome!
The gap between two cars
that finished 75.9 kilometers
is only about 50 centimeters.
Kaito Akaba's pursuit is fantastic.
And Kanata Katagiri's performance
is outstanding.
The intense battle between them
makes the battle
for first place tarnished.
I can't help but praise on them.
Now let's see the intriguing battle
for sixth place.
After driving side by side
through four corners,
Sakamoto's Car No. 5
eventually admits defeat.
I must drive this car
to finish the season.
How can I smash it right here?
I am not like you who is being rash.
I'm not scared of you.
This is just a strategic retreat.
It's good that you are back off.
Car No. 13, Maezono,
finished alone in fifth place.
The following cars
arrived one after another.
Car No. 9, Aiba.
Car No. 5, Sakamoto.
Car No. 8, Taylor,
driving alone, finished eighth.
And the winner
among the three-car battle was
Car No. 18, Kitahara,
Car No. 7, Ohtani,
Car No. 6, Yanagida.
Following them was
Car No. 16, Yashio.
Car No. 1, Ishigami,
finished in the thirteenth place.
Lastly was Car No. 23, Kyogoku.

It's over.
Now there's just the award ceremony left.
Was the battle very intense
during the last phase of the race?
Mr. Tanaka, who was broadcasting live,
kept shouting non-stop.
My work is all finished.
I'm hungry.
Miss Kyoko, Miss No. 7.
You've been chosen.
Okay.
Have I been chosen?
(MF GHOST Season 2)
(MF GHOST Season 2)
Let's give a round of applause to the two racers
who fought their way out of the dogfight
under terrible circumstances.
Now, let the angels present
the kiss of blessing.
What to do?
Oh no.
Why is it me?
Have I been chosen?
Is there something wrong?
The second-placed Sawatari
chose Miss No. 7.
And the third-placed Akaba
chose Miss Kyoko.
Please get ready.
Sawatari.
I won't let you off.
How dare you set your sights on my No. 7.
The prize for fourth place
is 25 million yen.
Half of that would be 12.5 million yen.
That's a lot.
Katagiri.
Your performance was wonderful.
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Here's my contact information.
Don't think of me as just any girl, okay?
Because
I only give it to you.
Message me.
You're really popular, Kanata.
I'm so jealous.
That's a headache.
I don't know how to deal with it.
What's with that girl?
She's just an angel, yet she dares
to make a move on my Kanata.
Can't believe it.
Why do I feel so restless after the race?
I really want to see Sana soon.
Sawatari, please come here.
I have a word to you.
What's wrong, senior?
Why do you look so terrifying?
I'd like to make an agreement with you.
You already have a girlfriend.
Don't set your sights on angel No. 7.
Eh?
Senior, are you
enchanted by that girl?
Exactly, I am
Eh?
Don't use such a difficult word.
Anyway, I'm crazy about No. 7.
Senior, you sure have a good eye.
I think she's the most outstanding
among this year's eight angels.
Right?
Then you better not have designs on her.
This is an agreement between men.
But upon thinking about it,
you're a lolicon,
so I shouldn't have to worry.
Senior, let me tell you some good news.
She's even younger than you think.
What?
I guess her age is probably 17 or 18.
No way. How do you know that?
It's an intuition I had
after observing closely.
I can tell by the elasticity of the skin
or the shape of the body.
Though she showed her forehead
and wore thick makeup to look more mature,
that couldn't fool my natural sense.
When she kissed me at the award ceremony,
her ears turned red with shyness,
and her body was also trembling.
She is a pure angel rarely seen
in today's society.
Go for it, senior.
No way.
Who would believe it?
You must be tired, Kanata.
I'll drive on the way back.
Thank you.
But I'm not that tired.
Hi, both of you.
I'll hold the celebration
at that barbecue place we often go to.
You must come, Kanata.
It's on me.
Ogata, you come too.
Shun
is really great at this.
In today's race, your ranking
was clearly better than his.
Should I say he's big-hearted?
After the race,
you're just a junior to him.
Senior Aiba is truly
a charming nice person.
Someday, that No. 7 angel
will definitely notice his strengths.
That's hard.
He's a nice guy,
but he doesn't attract women.
Mr. Ogata, you would drink, right?
Then I'll drive.
No.
I'm not in the mood to drink today.
Give me the key.
Are you sure?
Hello.
Long time no see.
You must be as busy as always, right?
Not at all.
No matter how busy I am,
I'm not as busy as you.
The reason I'm calling is to tell you
that for the next round,
I want him to compete.
Fumihiro doesn't know yet, right?
Please tell him for me.
Yes, please.
I will return to Takasaki
for the Obon Festival.
And I will visit dad's grave.
Let's have a meal together then.
That's it.
Were you on the phone with Ryosuke?
President, you mentioned something
about participating in a race, right?
Is it
Exactly.
He has already agreed.
I want to let him race
in the next race at Manazuru.
That will be
Sena Moroboshi's MFG debut race.
That's great!
Finally, he can race.
I'll contact Mr. Matsumoto about it.
Gunma will surely be cheering.
But why the long wait?
Simply put, because it would be unfair.
After all, he is the racer I trained.
He has mastered
all the Fastest on Roads Theories
and the mechanisms
of grip-to-weight ratio.
I understand it too.
My brother has always been
particularly strict with his own people.
You should be very clear about that.
Indeed. Mr. Ryosuke
is only strict with you.
But how do we explain Fujiwara's student
participating in the race?
That kid seems more like the chosen one
for the Fastest on Roads Theories.
That would be unfair.
Because Fujiwara
has always stayed in England,
and didn't get involved in
the establishment of MFG.
Anyway, he made it clear from the beginning
that before MFG reached a certain level,
he wouldn't agree
to let the racer I trained race in.
The condition he set for his approval was
that at least two racers to break
my demonstration record in the preliminaries.
I see.
That's the thing.
The seal has been lifted.
But I didn't expect
I'd have to wait for four years.
They are hailed as the Godly Fifteen,
but there's nothing remarkable.
None of them are getting any progress.
The hydrangeas have already bloomed.
When I feel summer approaching,
what exactly is the fluttering
in my heart?
It's like being urged on by something,
and I can't calm down.
There's a feeling
that makes me want to rush out.
Perhaps in our DNA,
summer has been considered
a special season since ancient times.
And now,
I've fallen for a boy
whose name with "Summer".
The summer of Shonan is coming.
That will be the most passionate
and special summer in my life.
Good morning, Ren.
Good morning.
The rain keeps pouring down.
Because it's the rainy season.
KATASE ENOSHIMA
Mr. Kanata feels just like a prince.
Is that so?
His appearance and demeanor are stylish.
And he talks politely.
Everyone calls him Prince Kamakura.
Really?
They say so because they only see Kanata
when he's working.
At work, his hair
and clothes are all neat.
It's a far from how he is at home.
He doesn't even comb his hair
after he washes it.
He even walks around with no shirt on.
And his attire is surprisingly casual.
But since he has a good shape,
he looks good in anything.
But I'd better not mention any of this.
Where could I find
a handsome guy abandoned by the roadside?
It's not like picking up a puppy.
-Wakana is a girl with rich romantic experience.
-Summer is coming.
-As far as I know,
-I really want a boyfriend.
-she dated with six guys
-I want a super handsome boyfriend.
-since junior high school.
-Give Mr. Kanata
-But each relationship never lasted long.
-to me.
-In contrast,
-No way, he's not my property.
-I've never been in a relationship.
-And even my mom
-But I can't imagine what's like
-wouldn't approve
-to have a boyfriend
-either.
-or date a boy.
-My mom likes Kanata even more than I do.
I'm already a high school sophomore.
This might be a bit worried.
However, I am who I am.
Did you see the guy
working the cash register?
He's so handsome.
Is he a model?
Katagiri.
It's about time.
You can clock out for the day.
Yes.
Thank you for today's hard work.
Thank you.
I really like the thank-you words
Japanese would say when leaving work.
Well
Given the two results so far,
let me start with the proposal
I've been thinking about.
Although the turbo modification plan
for the 86 is set,
I think there is another option,
which is to switch to another car model.
Toyota also has the SUPRA.
MEIJI MACADAMIA CHOCOLATE
SUPRA's transmission system is excellent.
If Mr. Okuyama could
further tune the suspension,
we can expect it to exhibit
significant combative capabilities.
What do you think, Kanata?
So indifferent.
I'm not very interested in this proposal.
Why?
Before that, I have a question
for Mr. Okuyama.
If we put a turbo on the 86,
how much horsepower is going to be raised?
After all, it is a turbo.
It can get up to 400 or 500 horsepower
if you want.
But what I envision
is a proposal for around 300 horsepower.
300?
Brilliant!
GR SUPRA!
Don't tell me
you've already bought it, Ogata.
No, of course not.
I've never even seen this car.
Is it a visitor?
Sorry for the sudden visit.
I am Sena Moroboshi
from the Dream Project.
Dream Project?
From Keisuke Takahashi?
I'm here for Kanata Katagiri.
Is he here?
Kanata?
Who is it?
