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.

With everyone in the gym focused on the sparring, nobody notices several journalists slipping inside one after another through the unlocked entrance.


They continue offering polite greetings as they enter, but nobody answers. Only Hayakawa notices them coming in, yet he says nothing and simply behaves as though they are not there.


For these journalists, who have spent days struggling to get close enough to Ryoma for a story, this is an opportunity they cannot afford to waste. This is their chance to corner him about Umemoto's issue.


Yet once they are inside and see how completely absorbed Ryoma is in the sparring, they find themselves standing still, momentarily unsure of what they are witnessing.


For several moments, they simply watch, trying to understand the situation before quietly gathering together and exchanging observations among themselves.
