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.

Ayano stalks forward again, but Ryoma doesn't try to keep him at bay. He lets him throw, still studying.


It's not the crushing double strike this time. Ayano's showing that he's more than brute force.


He starts jabbing on the move, quick, sharp lefts as he steps in, using his longer reach to close the gap.


Ryoma reads every one of them, but he doesn't dodge. He decides to block.


They're disciplined jabs, polished through repetition, but not as fast as what Ryoma faced at Super Featherweight.


And there's little variation to it, heavier, but predictable. Ryoma stays compact, guard tight, using the exchange to feel out this new division.


Ayano, misreading his patience, thinks it's fear, just like all the others boxers he beat so far. Now with the crowd roaring, fighting on a bigger stage, he decides to put on a show.
