What Is Steel Ball Run?
SBR is the 7th part of the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventures series by Hirohiko Araki. Set in a different continuity from Parts 1 to 6, it follows the story of Johnny Joestar (Jojo), a paraplegic ex-jockey, and Gyro Zeppeli, a disgraced Neapolitan executioner. Jojo seeks to regain use of his legs, whereas Gyro wants the money to seek amnesty for a child on death-row. Join them as they enter the Steel Ball Run, a cross-country horse race across 1890 America.
However, all is not as it seems as, true to JoJo fashion, bizarre encounters happen throughout the race! Will they win the $50 million grand prize and fulfill their wishes? There’s only one way to find out!
