What’s New for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run?
Being the seventh part of Hirohiko Araki’s JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure might seem like a rough deal on the outside, but that’s not the case at all. This is going to be one of the easiest iterations of the franchise to jump into as the end of the Stone Ocean season completely rewrote reality. Steel Ball Run takes place in an entirely different timeline than the original series, and focuses on a whole new setting, time period, and characters not directly tied into what’s come before.
It’s also one of the more fun packages for the franchise as it takes place entirely over the course of a constantly moving horse race across an early United States. So take all of the Stand abilities, wild personalities and more we’d see in other JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure releases and add a race on top of it. That’s probably why franchise fans are hyped to see this one in action in particular.
