Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go! MAX

The Phantom-Blade was one of the Borzoi school's machines. It belonged to Zen Kusanagi, one of the Kusanagi brothers. In both media, its rear cowls are doubling as hammers and cutters to destroys other Mini 4WD cars from the sides.

In the manga, it was one of the battle race machines that was equipped with the Borzonic System and is capable of scattering oil onto the road surface. In the anime, it can even combine with the Vise-Intruder to forms the Phantom-Vise.

During the GJC-Summer-Race-turn-2nd-Borzoi Open (in which the race tournament was race jacked by the Borzoi school.), the Phantom-Blade was destroyed when the car and the rear half of the destroyed Shadow Breaker Z-3 fall onto the lava. Zen later built another Phantom-Blade and during the later half of the story, it has the MG Stone installed which allows it to generate weaker gravitational fields.
