Ryoma Takeda was once a rising star in the ring, an Interhigh champion, a golden boy with fists of promise. But one bitter loss on his pro debut shattered his confidence. A freak accident soon after stole his leg.

His career vanished. His fiancée left him. And all he had left were reruns of that one damn fight… and a hundred different regrets.

Then, just as he hits rock bottom, fate does the unthinkable. He wakes up ten years in the past, on the very night of his first professional match.

But this time, something’s different.

[System Initialized: Vision Grid Active]
“Your eyes see the truth beneath motion. Use it well.”

Armed with the Vision Grid System, a combat-assist module that turns his visual perception into tactical mastery, Ryoma now has a second chance.

To fix his mistakes.
To chase the career he lost.
To protect the mother he failed.
And to prove to the woman who left… that she let go of someone she’ll never replace.

But boxing isn't just a sport. It's war of bodies, of minds, of hearts.

And Ryoma Takeda is done losing.

Junji's voice cracks from the apron, desperate and impatient. "What are you waiting for, Junpei? Don't waste it. Hit him! Mix your punches!"


Junpei forces himself forward. Every nerve screams. The pain in his ribs flares like a live wire, but he ignores it and throws his left.


The jab is sluggish, half-extended, short of its target even though Aramaki's well within reach.


Then he pivots and throws another left.


Now it lands on Aramaki's glove, light, glancing, nothing of consequence.


So Junpei mixes in the right, sending a heavier straight.


It lands flush on Aramaki's guard, solid impact, but no breakthrough. The sound alone excites the crowd, but Junpei feels how shallow it is. There's no sting left in his punches.


He tries again: a light left, more of a touch than a strike, then another right behind it. Two consecutive rights follow; a straight on the guard, then a body shot to the ribs.
