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.

The morning air in Suidobashi is quiet, almost too quiet for a fight week. Inside Dr. Hayashi's clinic, the hum of the X-ray board fills the room as the doctor studies the faint line on the screen.


"…Still there," he says, tapping the shadow. "Tiny, almost invisible. But it's a fracture. It hasn't fully healed."


Nakahara folds his arms. Hiroshi's jaw tightens. Ryoma exhales, face shadowed by disappointment. For a moment he'd allowed himself hope. But the machine kills it in an instant.


"You can't use this hand," Dr. Hayashi warns. "Honestly, you shouldn't fight at all. One wrong impact and it gets worse."


The doctor stares, incredulous. "Boxing isn't done with one hand."


Nakahara steps in. "We've prepared for it. He'll manage."


Dr. Hayashi sighs, strips off his gloves. "Reckless. All of you. Listen well: your right hand is off-limits. Push it once, and you may not get another chance."
