JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run – The Long-Awaited Return
A Fresh Start for New Fans
After nearly three years since Stone Ocean concluded, the seventh arc represents a soft reboot—newcomers can jump in without prior knowledge! The series has sold over 120 million copies worldwide, and this arc is considered the franchise’s best.
The Story: A Deadly Cross-Continental Race
Set in late 19th-century America, the first-ever transcontinental horse race across North America brings together two unlikely allies:
Johnny Joestar – A former horse-racing prodigy who lost the use of his legs.
Gyro Zeppeli – An enigmatic outlaw with mysterious motivations and deadly skills.
Their alliance forms under hidden agendas as they navigate a perilous 6,000-kilometer journey filled with bizarre Stand abilities and one of the series’ greatest villains.
What to Expect
The premiere features a special 47-minute “1st STAGE” episode on March 19, followed by the regular series on March 21. Expect signature JoJo elements—creative Stand powers, melodramatic posing, vivid colors—set against an epic race inspired by The Cannonball Run and Fist of the North Star.

Haru’s Growth: Faces endless challenges while enjoying university life.
