Fans are already engrossed in MF Ghost season 3, which premiered on January 1, 2026. The anime was already out early on streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Video ahead of the TV broadcast, so viewers had a head start. With the fast-paced MFG races, this season is only going to get crazier if you’ve been following Kanata’s journey.

The third series begins the day after the end of the second series. While in the Peninsula Manazuru race, Kanata is unable to change into gear two due to his elbow injury. Rivals are overtaking him left and right because of this crippling handicap. But MF Ghost season 3 is not one to give up. Finally, Kanata's fighting spirit is ignited, and although it's painful, he goes all out to make a comeback.

What Makes MF Ghost Season 3 Special?

Everything that fans like about the first two seasons is returning in this season. Thanks to Yu Serizawa's TIMELESS POWER feat. MOTSU's opening theme, the eurobeat soundtrack, continues to have a powerful impact. For fans of Initial D who grew up with those legendary rhythms, MOTSU's comeback seems like a love letter. After all the furious racing action, Himika Akaneya's Yokan no Tochu offers a gentler, more poignant touch.

Emma Green, a new character voiced by model and actress Nanako Aizawa, is also introduced in MF Ghost season 3. Her appearance upsets the already packed competition. She is a cool-headed racer with an enigmatic connection to Kanata. With Ayane Sakura voicing Ren Saionji and Yuma Uchida returning as Kanata, the cast is still solid.

The animation firm Felix Film is making a comeback, and they're keeping the computer-generated racing sequences realistic. You can expect the same intensity and style that defined the previous seasons because Tomohito Naka is currently directing the series.

The 13-episode third season of MF Ghost will finish at the end of March 2026. It will have one extra episode than the previous two seasons, each of which had twelve episodes. The longer runtime allows the plot to delve further into the Peninsula Manazuru race and establish new storylines.

There are rumors among certain fans that the season will conclude during the fourth race qualifying. Others believe that in order to include more Seaside Double Lane stuff, the show may remove certain summer arc content. In any case, MF Ghost season 3 is moving along nicely, and followers of the manga are aware that there is still a lot of plot to be adapted.


Conclusion

The third season of MF Ghost looks to be the best one yet. Kanata's injury raises the tension in the races, and the new competitors bring excitement. If you enjoy exciting action and a great soundtrack, or if you’re into racing anime, you definitely need to check out this season. Mark your calendar for new episodes every Thursday or on Sunday, depending on which channel you are watching on, so you can get ready for some exciting thrills.
