The Genius Awakens (天才覚醒, tensai kakusei) is the eleventh episode of the MF Ghost anime adaptation.
Synopsis[]
With the second round of the Lake Ashinoko GT approaching, Kanata decides to conduct a test run to assess the updates made to his Toyota 86. The enhancements to the machine have significantly improved its fighting power, and Kanata is impressed by Hiroya Okuyama's tuning skill. However, during the test run, a brilliantly blue Alpine A110 overtakes Kanata's 86. Behind the wheel of car 4 is Kouki Sawatari, who did not participate in the last race. Kanata recalls meeting Sawatari in Europe, and it becomes evident that Sawatari harbors a burning rivalry with Kanata. As the preliminaries commence, Sawatari, hailed as a genius, begins to showcase his awakened abilities.
