🐎 What Steel Ball Run Is About
Steel Ball Run takes place in the U.S. during the 1890s and follows a gruesome cross-continental competition called “Steel Ball Run” — it’s an intense, high stakes; first: to finish 4,000 miles horse race that promises a $50 million prize.
At its center are two unforgettable characters:
Johnny Joestar – A retired jockey, left crippled and hoping to accomplish a new victory at the racing track one day; he also aims to investigate the Spin technique.
Gyro Zeppeli – A cheery master of the Spin with a past as an executioner Spartan that has more than winning competition in mind.
Their odyssey goes from rivalry to profound friendship — filled with supernatural elements, strange Stand powers and twists that go above the genre’s average.
