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 lobby stalls, the air drawn taut as wire. Serrano's grin widens, almost theatrical, like he's posing for the cameras.


For a heartbeat, no one moves. It's the kind of frozen image that begs to be printed on tomorrow's front pages.


Sato from Tokyo Sports is already snapping shots, shutters rattling. Tanaka from Nippon Fight News steadies his phone, his voice hushed.


"Tomorrow, this image will be everywhere. Serrano clamping the prodigy's punch… it writes itself."


"Rookie King turning into a headline circus."


"Damn… this is just a weigh-in, not a title fight showdown."


And commission officials scramble, raising their voices.


But before they can shove their way in, a calm voice cuts through the air.
