The Malicious Reaper (凶悪な死神 "Kyōakuna shinigami") is the sixty-fifth chapter of MF Ghost.
Summary[]
As the start of the Ashinoko GT continues, Sawatari notes how much he loves racing in the rain, as it really shows who's the fastest driver there. At the same time, Beckenbauer notes that he won't lose to any Japanese driver no matter what the weather is. Further behind, Maezono notes that he loss out at the start of the race to the AWD Huracán, but notes that he'll defeat both the Huracán and the 488 today with his NSX to show them the potential of a Honda.
As the drivers approach the Death Zone, Tanaka asks Ikeda how will the rain affect the conditions, with Ikeda saying that whilst the rain prevents the ash from flying around, the ash piled onto the road will turn into a sludge that will make conditions even more slipperier. As such, drivers need to be careful during the first lap.
The lead drivers enter the Slip Trap. As this happens, Daigo Oishi begins loosing traction, allowing Maezono to slip by him. During this, Maezono critisises Daigo's sloppy steering, saying that an AWD car won't help him at all during corner entry. At the same time, Daigo notes that it was close, not realising how much he was going to slip. Further behind, Yanagida is monitoring Kanata's driving through the Death Zone, noting that whilst he's not drifting through the corners, he wonders if he's still driving fast. Yanagida also notes that him and his M6 won't fall behind in the corners either, allowing him to sit back and take notes on Kanata's driving. Further behind, Nozomi notes how much she's slipping on the road, but grows to love it as it is really fun to her.
As the remaining cars go through the Death Zone, the Cayman and the A110 begin to run away from the rest of the group, as the 15 drivers separate into multiple groups. At the same time, Ikeda tells Tanaka that he's impressed of the 86's performance in the mid-pack, as it is the only car that hasn't changed its driving style since it entered the Slip Trap, noting that the view's really frightening.

Notes & Trivia[]
- On Page 12, the door numbers on Kanata's 86 and Nozomi's 4C are not visible.
- On Page 14, during the shot of the drivers going through the Slip Trap, Takuya's M6 is instead represented as an E92 BMW M3. This is strange as not only is Yanagida shown driving the M6 earlier on in the chapter, but the only M3 driver in the series, Shintaro Natsume, did not qualify for this race.
