STEEL BALL RUN JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 2nd - 3rd STAGE

STEEL BALL RUN JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 2nd - 3rd STAGE is an ongoing ONA combining action, adventure, drama, mystery, and supernatural elements within the long-running JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise. The series follows Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli as they progress through the second and third stages of their cross-continental race, now facing a brutal desert crossing of roughly 750 miles. This stretch of terrain, known as the "Devil's Palm," carries a dark history: in 1875, a mysterious incident claimed the lives of an entire cavalry unit of 26 people, leaving local native populations gripped by fear. As the competitors advance, strange occurrences mount, forcing Johnny and Gyro to confront the reality that this race conceals far more than sporting glory.

The series began airing in fall 2026 and contains eleven episodes total. New episodes release on a weekly schedule, with the next installment dropping on October 16, 2026. This ONA format makes it accessible to a wide audience seeking the signature JoJo blend of intense supernatural battles, character-driven storytelling, and high-stakes adventure. Fans of previous JoJo seasons will find familiar themes of determination and discovery alongside fresh mysteries tied to the desert setting.
