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.

That little warmth at Shimizu's soba shop lets Ryoma forget Kirizume for the night. And only after two days of break since his sparring with Renji Kuroiwa, he's back at the gym.


The place is still quiet, hollow, like the air hasn't woken yet, though the shutters are already up. Nakahara is in his office, hunched over paperwork.


Ryoma doesn't stop to greet him. He wraps his hands, rolls his shoulders, and heads straight for the bag.


In his office, Nakahara pauses, pen hovering above the page. He glances at the clock, it's still 7:10. At this hour, there's only one person coming to his mind.


He pushes out of his chair and steps onto the floor. As expected, it's Ryoma, his fists blur, feet pivot with clean precision, each strike rolling into the next.
