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.

For the first time, Umemoto is experiencing what world-class boxing truly feels like. The confidence and physical dominance that usually define him are barely visible tonight.


The fight is already in the middle of the fifth round, yet he still hasn't been able to adjust to Liam's pace, struggling to keep up with his opponent despite appearing, on a purely physical level, to be stronger, more agile, and capable of throwing faster and sharper combinations.


"Again, O'Connell gets there first! Good jab from Liam, straight into the body, and Umemoto answers with a three-punch combination!"


"Liam parries the first shot! Slips to his left… there's the angle! Umemoto tries to follow him with the hook, but Liam is already in position to fire back!"
