About Steel Ball Run

The Steel Ball Run manga was first serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2004, later moved to Ultra Jump in 2005, and concluded in 2011 with 24 volumes. The story follows Johnny Joestar, a former jockey paralyzed from the waist down, who regains the ability to walk briefly after encountering Gyro Zeppeli.

Determined to uncover the mystery, Johnny joins a cross-country race across America, filled with danger, supernatural powers, and the philosophical themes that make JoJo unique.

JoJo’s Anime Journey So Far

david production has successfully adapted Parts 1 through 6, with Stone Ocean released on Netflix in three batches between December 2021 and December 2022.

Given their track record, fans expect Steel Ball Run to deliver even more refined visuals and unforgettable music.

Beyond the anime, the JoJo franchise continues to expand. In 2023, Araki launched the new manga The JOJOLands, alongside other projects like video games, stage musicals, and the live-action spin-off Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan.

With Steel Ball Run coming to Netflix, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is set to reach even greater heights and captivate a new generation of fans worldwide.
