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 atmosphere inside Korakuen Hall grows increasingly feverish as the evening progresses toward its main event, a WBC-ranked bout between Japanese Super Featherweight Champion Tatsuki Aramaki and WBC Continental Americas Super Featherweight Champion Marcus Callahan.


The crowd has already been given plenty of reasons to raise its voice. All four Ronin fighters who appeared on the undercard have swept through their respective opponents with a succession of knockouts, leaving the audience buzzing with anticipation.


By the time the main-event fighters make their way toward the ring, the venue is already primed for another explosive contest.


"Listen to that noise!" one commentator exclaims, his voice nearly swallowed by the roar of the crowd. "I can barely hear myself in here!"
