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.

Korakuen Hall hums with the restless energy of fight night. The lights burn brighter than the crowd itself, every seat filled with hopeful fans, gamblers, and scouts with sharp eyes. Posters of the Rookie King Tournament Quarterfinals Block A line the walls.


But Ryoma isn't here tonight to fight. He sits quietly quite far from the ringside, hoodie up, his eyes fixed on the squared circle.


He came to watch, to measure, to remind himself who his real enemies are. Two names matter to him more than the rest.


First, Junpei Teshima, the man who—at least in Ryoma's previous life—went on to win this very tournament.


The second, Leonardo "Shishi" Serrano, the flashy outsider Kirizume scouted to break and humiliate him.


The announcer's booming voice fills the hall. The first match for Super Featherweight Division today is Junpei Teshima vs. Keisuke Sawatari.
