Ep. 5: Keiichirou befriends the ghost Datto during the school sports festival race preparations
Aired on November 26, 2000
While preparing for a school race, Keiichirou befriends Datto, a ghost with two personalities. One form is a speedy boy who died after being hit by a car while training for this same event. The other is a demonic hare-like creature that collects legs from sprinters. Datto initially targets Keiichirou, but after Satsuki reveals that Keiichirou considers him a friend, the boy's spirit redeems himself. He prevents his evil alter-ego from attacking Keiichirou as he approaches the finish line. This act of kindness allows Datto's spirit to find peace and be freed from his torment.
