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 arena erupts into chaos. Spectators spring to their feet, rows upon rows of craning necks, a sea of bewildered faces twisted between shock and outrage.


A murmur builds, rolling like distant thunder until it swells into an unshaped roar.


But no, the crowd can see it clearly. Junpei's face is unmarked, his skin still fresh under the harsh lights, no blood, no swelling.


And down in the ring, Junpei himself is raging, his arms flung wide in fury.


"What the hell… why did you stop it? I still can fight! I almost got him there!"


Sure, he'd felt Serrano's fists pounding through his guard, tossing his body like a pendulum. But his fists still burned with fight, his head still clear, and his will unbroken.


He storms toward the referee, eyes wild.
