The Update (アップデート "Appudēto") is the fourty-sixth chapter of MF Ghost.
Summary[]
At Ogata Cars, Kanata and Ogata are discussing with Spiral Zero's owner, Hiroya Okuyama, on the potential updates to the 86 going into Round 2. Okuyama notes on first focusing on the underbody, mainly the brakes. Ogata then asks if he'll modify the engine as well, with Okuyama saying that he'll only modify the intake and exhaust for now, but the actual engine modifications will be for later rounds. Ogata then wonders why, as he thought that increasing the 86's power was there main goal, but Okuyama corrects him as more power isn't always the key on making a car more competitive, as making the car unbalanced with too much power will make it more slower for Kanata to drive. Ogata then asks Kanata what he thinks about the new upgrades, with Kanata agreeing on Okuyama's upgrades, as back in the UK, Takumi Fujiwara taught him to look for cars that are underpowered, not cars that have a lot of power. Ogata is shocked at this, but Kanata says that Fujiwara's advice was always vauge, letting his students figure out the answer on there own, However, Ogata believes that if they through on a Supercharger onto the 86, it'll boost the power up to 280hp, which will still be less than most cars in MFG. Kanata then says that he joined MFG to challenge himself, and will be fine if he tackles the next round with no power upgrades, he then says that if Fujiwara was with them, he'd say that Kanata has yet to extract the full potential out of the 86. Okuyama then says that it would be something that Fujiwara would say, as Kanata is shocked that he use to know him, as Okuyama then says that back during his era of street racers in Kanto, everyone knew who Takumi Fujiwara was.
Later on, Aiba is shocked that Okuyama won't be upgrading the power of the 86, especially due to Ashinoko GT being a more flatter course compared to Odawara, meaning that here's not going to be any major downhill sections that can help Kanata out. Ogata then relays that it's what Kanata asked personally, which shocked Aiba. Aiba then tells Ogata that Okuyama is a genius, as he also tuned up his GT-R. Ogata then tells Aiba that he saw Kanata walk around with Ren earlier on today, with Aiba noting that since she's still in High School, there won't be any roadblocks for Aiba's quest to marry Angel No.7.
At the train station in North Kamakura, Ren apologies for calling Wakana out of nowhere, and promises Wakana to get some cookies for her.
