The stakes explode in Volume 3 of Space Punch, as Joe Kazuma steps into the ring-not just as a boxer, but as a pawn in a brutal gang war.
After agreeing to replace his injured friend Tony in a high-profile match, Joe finds himself representing the Darumas, one of Mirai City's most feared mafia factions. His opponent? Solomon, the champion fighter of the rival Gospels gang.
With powerful figures watching and reputations on the line, defeat isn't just personal-it's political.
Meanwhile, Zack Kazuma continues his crusade against corruption within the police force, using his enhanced cognitive abilities to expose the rot from within. As the brothers navigate their diverging paths, the city descends into chaos, and the line between justice and survival grows ever thinner.

- Brotherhood under pressure: Joe and Zack's bond is tested as they face moral and physical battles on separate fronts.
