Jamaal Williams, famous football player for the New Orleans Saints, hasn’t been shy about his love of all things anime. In the past, the running back has encouraged fans to bring him anime merchandise from beloved franchises such as Pokemon, Naruto, and Dragon Ball. Williams recently took the opportunity to further flex his anime knowledge as he made a major recommendation in the world of the Joestars. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has gained some serious notoriety around the world in recent years and it’s clear that the running back has seen something in the franchise by creator Hirohiko Araki.
The story of the Joestars is one that has been running since Hirohiko Araki introduced the universe via Phantom Blood in the 1980s. The Stand-filled franchise has aired some of the biggest storylines in the manga via anime adaptations, including the aforementioned Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, Stardust Crusaders, Diamond Is Unbreakable, Golden Wind, and Stone Ocean. As of the writing of this article, many anime fans are waiting to see if the next chapter of the anime will be confirmed, Steel Ball Run. Focusing on a horse race across the United States, the upcoming installment, should it become a reality, will be one of the wildest arcs of the series to date.
