Netflix has added JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run, the seventh installment of the iconic franchise, to its streaming library. Available with both English dub and subtitle options, this latest addition brings the acclaimed manga arc to a new audience.
David Production, the studio behind the recent JoJo anime adaptations, returns to animate Steel Ball Run. The series transports viewers to an alternate 1890s America for a cross-country horse race, the eponymous Steel Ball Run, offering a massive $50 million prize. The narrative centers on Gyro Zeppeli and the young paraplegic jockey Johnny Joestar as they navigate the treacherous race, facing down a host of bizarre supernatural threats and political intrigue.
With a stellar 9.18 rating on MyAnimeList, placing it at #2 among all-time rated anime, Steel Ball Run is a fan favorite. The manga arc is celebrated for its unique setting, inventive Stand battles, and a narrative that cleverly blends Western tropes with the series' signature surrealism and high-stakes action.
Steel Ball Run is presented as an Original Net Animation (ONA) and is currently airing, with new episodes expected. Its inclusion on Netflix provides a comprehensive viewing experience for both long-time JoJo devotees and newcomers drawn to its unique blend of historical adventure and supernatural combat.
