MF Ghost Season 3 episode 8 goes live on February 19, 2026. With Emma Greene causing controversy and a new race approaching, things are getting hotter after the emotional mayhem of episode 7.
Hold on tight because Kouki Sawatari's Alpine is shown soaring through the air in the teaser for MF Ghost Season 3 episode 8.
The Events of Episodes 1–6

Kanata returned from an elbow injury to start the season at the Peninsula Manazuru race. Miraculous Resurrection, which aired during Rage Your Dream in episode 1, gave fans their Takumi fix. Kanata's racing instincts took over when the Audi attempted to pass, and the elbow discomfort vanished entirely. He promised to get even and resumed his old speed.
Kanata used aggressive, fast driving to pass the Supra, BMW, Lamborghini, and NSX while battling Sena's Supra in Fireball, episode 2. His ascent to fifth place demonstrated that he was more than just a talker. When the 86 finished fourth in Final Lap, episode three, everyone went crazy. In Two First Kisses, episode 4, there was a fierce race. After completing Takumi's well-known gutter run to pass Akaba's Ferrari, Kanata approached the two leaders and got into a heated battle with Beckenbauer on the last lap.
Beckenbauer won, and Kanata came in second despite having damaged tires and an elbow injury. The podium moment was unforgettable because of Ren's admission that she was the MF Angel and Kanata's well-known Initial D astonished expression. The love drama is established before MF Ghost Season 3 episode 8.
Episode 5, Grandma's Light Truck, provided a respite from racing. While in Niigata, Ren and Kanata visited Ren's grandmother. Kanata remembered his late mother, learned about Obon, and helped clean the tomb. His grandma informed him that his mother's spirit is always with him. The romance between Kanata and Ren blossomed throughout these summer days, culminating in the heartwarming episode Miracle at 1:09 PM from MF Ghost Season 3.
Kanata learned that his father, Ken, had passed very suddenly from a serious case of cancer. Ken passed away while watching the races from his hospital bed at 1:09 PM on the day of the third race. At that point, Kanata's elbow pain subsided. It dawned on Kanata that his father had spared him. The seventh episode of Season 3 of MF Ghost carries this emotional burden.
What happened in MF Ghost Season 3 Episode 7?

Episode 7, End of Summer, presented new difficulties. Ren asked Kanata to go to the beach to cheer him up after learning about his father. But when Aiba happened to be there, Ren was in a bikini. That's when he realized she was seven. Aiba punched Kanata and then suddenly stopped talking to him, leaving him confused and hurt.
Then Emma Greene appeared, calling Kanata "darling" as though they were a couple. They were both trained at Royal Donington Park Racing School by Takumi Fujiwara. Emma is competing in MFG, driving an Aston Martin V8 Vantage with the number 624, which stands for June 24, the day she and Kanata first met at racing school. Her car's Mercedes-AMG twin-turbo engine produces 510 horsepower.
Days after the beach incident, Emma showed up on Kanata and Ren's date in Enoshima. She claimed that Kanata had resigned from his job in the UK. In MFG Season 3 episode 8, Emma, a professional driver who competed in the British Touring Car Championship, feels that Kanata's involvement was a waste of his talent. She hopes to win Kanata over and convince him to quit MFG to go pro.
Emma only participated in one round, but her Year 4 MFG ranking of 16th shows how competent she is. She is already creating issues by lying in public about Kanata being her ex-boyfriend and failing to tell Takumi that she was going to Japan.
Her mechanic, Hayato, who doesn't even understand Japanese, had to translate all the drama. Emma can't bear to see Kanata and Ren together, so she will do anything to keep them apart as we go into MF Ghost Season 3 episode 8.
What to Expect from MF Ghost Season 3 Episode 8?

MF Ghost Season 3 episode 8, Sparks Fly, is going to be amazing. The preview's first shot shows Kouki Sawatari's Alpine A110 flying through the air. Just based on that, this race is going to be insane.
Emma Greene is shown driving her Aston Martin past another car in the teaser. After the chaos she caused in episode 7, fans will see her driving skills in action in MF Ghost Season 3 episode 8. She has to compete against the best drivers in Japan to demonstrate that she is a professional BTCC driver.
However, the race is not the only thing being watched in MF Ghost Season 3 episode 8. Wearing traditional kimonos, Ren and Kanata watch a firework display together in the teaser. This is really important because Emma recently ended their date in Enoshima and is trying to complete it. The fireworks image suggests that Kanata and Ren are enjoying time together, even though Emma is interfering.
"Sparks Fly" probably means two things. There will definitely be explosions on the course as vehicles like Sawatari's Alpine gather air and Emma pushes her Aston Martin to the limit. However, sparks will also fly off course as the tension surrounding the love triangle in MF Ghost Season 3 episode 8 reaches new heights.
Conclusion
Fans can view MF Ghost Season 3 episode 8 on Crunchyroll on February 19, 2026. This episode is packed with fast-paced action and relationship problems after the emotional rollercoaster of episode 7.

Get ready for romance, drama, and racing to collide.
