But in my opinion, this is rather what a neural network does. The term "genius", of course, has a broad interpretation, but I am still inclined to believe that it is precisely the ability to see what most do not notice, and the ability to create something new. The ability to remember all the books in the world and even understand what is written in them is just a trick if this knowledge does not give rise to something new. In Phillippe's case, it's his friends who create the new. Again, I already mentioned that I studied with an eidetic guy who got bad grades because he was too lazy to even open the textbook. He is definitely not a genius, just gifted with certain abilities.

And Tendou is not guided by his grandmother; he is guided by dedication to perfect his skills and make the world better. In a way truly fit of the word "genius". Being raised by his grandmother leads him to quote her out of respect.

"dedication to perfect his skills and make the world better" as for me, closer to the image of the messiah than to a genius. Plus, playing without a team is more of a reverse genius.
