Jojo's Bizarre: Why start with Steel Ball Run?

If you have always heard of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure , but wondered if it would be worth starting, maybe that's your time. After all, with the announcement of anime adaptation Steel Ball Run , the seventh franchise arch, the moment seems ideal to surrender to the bizarre of this iconic saga.

Jojo's Bizarre Adventure is already in his ninth part in the manga, which can scare those who do not know the series. However, each part brings an autonomous story, with its own characters and plots. And Steel Ball Run stands out exactly for this: he restarts Jojo's universe, functioning as a new beginning, free from direct connections with the previous arches.

What to expect from the story of Steel Ball Run

The story takes place in the United States of 1890, during a race of horses that crosses the country. The protagonist is Johnny Joestar, a former jockey who lost his leg movements. After meeting Gyro Zeppeli, a mysterious competitor with unusual skills, Johnny is involved in a much larger conflict - and embarks on a journey of physical and emotional overcoming. Although Johnny begins as a bitter and even selfish character, he evolves significantly along the plot, reflecting the deep layers that Araki prints on the protagonists of the series.

Moreover, the old west environment and the constant use of horses give the narrative a unique and undeniably different charm from any other anime. Although the story presents typical elements of the series, such as stands with stands and eccentric humor, Steel Ball Run is, above all, about transformation - both internal and external.

So if you are looking for an intense story, full of turns and complex characters, Steel Ball Run is your chance to get into Jojo's world. And if you enjoy, you can explore the other arches later!
