The Speeding Challenger is the 20th episode of the first season of the anime series Phi-Brain. The episode starts with Kaito and his friends visiting a car racing event. Kaito is bored and starts looking for a game to challenge his intellect. He spots a mysterious man named Rook Banjo Crossfield, who is known as the most skilled puzzle solver in the world. Kaito challenges him to a puzzle, but Rook refuses, stating that he only solves puzzles he deems worthy of his time.
Frustrated with Rook's arrogance, Kaito decides to investigate him further. He discovers that Rook is the head of a secret organization called POG, which stands for the Puzzle of God. POG is responsible for creating deadly puzzles that can result in the death of their challengers. Kaito is determined to stop Rook, but he needs to find a way to infiltrate POG's headquarters.
Meanwhile, Rook realizes that Kaito is a worthy challenger and decides to invite him to participate in POG's latest puzzle tournament. Kaito accepts the invitation, but he knows that he needs to be careful since POG's puzzles can be deadly.
The tournament takes place in a massive maze, and the contestants must find their way out while solving various puzzles along the way. Kaito manages to solve all of the puzzles with ease, but he notices that the other contestants are struggling. He starts to suspect that the maze might be rigged, and his suspicions are confirmed when a trap is triggered, causing one of the contestants to fall to their death.
Kaito realizes that POG has no regard for human life and that they are willing to go to extreme lengths to create puzzles that are lethal. He decides that he must end POG's deadly puzzles once and for all.
As the tournament progresses, Kaito faces off against Rook in a puzzle showdown. The puzzle involves a series of interconnected gears that must be turned in a specific order to unlock the puzzle. Kaito manages to solve the puzzle, but Rook reveals a secret mechanism that makes the puzzle even harder.
Despite the added challenge, Kaito manages to solve the puzzle and defeats Rook. With the defeat of POG's leader, Kaito declares that POG's deadly puzzles must come to an end. He encourages the other contestants to join him in his effort to dismantle POG and put an end to their destructive ways.
The episode ends with Kaito and his friends returning home, determined to put an end to POG's dangerous puzzles. They know that they'll need to stay one step ahead of POG's traps and puzzles but are confident that they can succeed in their mission.
Overall, The Speeding Challenger is an exciting and action-packed episode that showcases Kaito's determination and intelligence. The episode also highlights the dangers of unchecked power and the need to fight for what is right, even when the odds are stacked against you.
