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.

May 15th, 2015. Rookie King Tournament Quarterfinals, Block B.


Korakuen Hall isn't packed, but it buzzes louder than last week. In the ring, two Featherweight rookies trade shots, yet the response is more chatter than roar.


"Hit him harder! My grandma punches faster than that!"


The calls flare, then fade into background noise. Most people scroll through phones or murmur in groups. They're not here for this fight. They're here for the name printed boldest on the flyer.


Latecomers shuffle down the aisles, beer in hand, whispering apologies. Screens glow like scattered stars, everyone counting the minutes until the main event.


Most of the crowd is here for one reason: to see Ryoma. And it makes sense. Even with only two professional fights, he's managed to leave a mark each time.
