Jojo's Bizarre Adventure fans Steel Ball Run 's adaptation , however, an old problem returns to the anime : musical references.

For example, the iconic villain Dio was baptized in honor of Ronnie James Dio. However, names like Aerosmith had to be changed to curious versions, such as Lil 'Bomber , in the American location. Although these changes have generated fun situations, the question arises: How to adapt Steel Ball Run , a darker and more mature part of the saga, without harming its seriousness?
Jojo's Bizarre: Steel Ball Run faces an unprecedented dilemma
Unlike the previous parts, Steel Ball Run marked an important turn. After all, in addition to opening a new continuity, the work migrated from a Shonen to a Seinen , aimed at the adult public. Thus, your most serious tone can be shocked with names in a comical way, harming dramatic moments.
Even some names have already been adapted to Jojo games. A famous case is the Stand Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap , nicknamed D4C , which became the Hilarious Filthy Acts at the Western Reasonable Price. Although funny out of context, it's hard to imagine an intense scene repeating that name without losing the impact.
So does the studio decide: keep these translations already established or look for more serious alternatives? There is no easy solution as any choice will surely divide fans. Other names, such as Tusk and Ballbreaker , may also need changes, raising more questions.
However, Jojo always knew how to balance the absurd and the epic. Therefore, maybe funny names do not spoil the experience. Steel Ball Run still promises to be an unforgettable adventure, even with this curious challenge.
