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.
To fulfill the hopes of those who refused to give up on him.
And to finally become the man they always believed he could be.

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

And Ryoma Takeda is done losing.

The A-License Promotion fight day is getting closer.


The fever before the match has already spread like a winter cold, not just in Tokyo, but spilling out into Chiba as well.


Posters line the station walls, banners hang above the arcades, bold red letters printed over Ryoma's name and Ayano's.


Every sports magazine runs the same photo, Ryoma mid-punch, sweat flying, eyes locked forward.


The local TV networks aren't staying quiet either. For the past two weeks, they've been airing reruns of Ryoma's fights from the Rookie Tournament, trying to stir up excitement before the big day.


This morning, as Ryoma runs along the roadside, a delivery truck rumbles past him, its back plastered with a bold poster, his face and Ayano's, under the bright letters announcing the A-License Promotion Fight.
