“Whoever does win this race will be a hero to the whole world.”

The next chapter in the globally celebrated JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure saga is set to arrive. Fans can now watch the newly released English-dubbed trailer for STEEL BALL RUN JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure and meet the English voice cast bringing the epic cross-continental race to life.

Created by Hirohiko Araki, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure first began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1986 and has since become a global phenomenon. With over 120 million copies in circulation, the long-running series chronicles the generational legacy of the Joestar family, beginning with Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando.

Known for its striking character poses, inventive sound effects, and unforgettable dialogue, the franchise has expanded into anime, video games, musicals, and live-action adaptations. The ninth manga arc, The JOJOLands, is currently serialized in Ultra Jump.

Set in 1890 America, STEEL BALL RUN unfolds during the first-ever cross-continental horse race across North America. The grueling 4,000-mile competition offers a staggering $50 million prize.

Johnny Joestar, once hailed as a prodigious jockey but now paraplegic and disillusioned, finds renewed purpose after encountering Gyro Zeppeli, a mysterious outlaw determined to win the race.
