I consider Steel Ball Run to be one of the greatest written works I've ever read. But does it work? Oh who am I kidding? I'm going to be straight up. Serving as a soft reset for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Steel Ball Run takes the story in original and daring directions. Vowing to find the secret of the steel balls, Johnny decides to compete in the race, and so begins his bizarre adventure across America on the Steel Ball Run. In the midst of the action, Johnny happens to touch the steel ball and feels a power surging through his legs, allowing him to stand up for the first time in two years. Johnny witnesses Gyro using one of his steel balls to unleash a fantastical power, compelling a man to fire his gun at himself during a duel. There he encounters Gyro Zeppeli, a racer with two steel balls at his waist instead of a gun. The youthful Johnny Joestar, a crippled former horse racer, has come to San Diego to watch the start of the race. The Steel Ball Run is truly a one-of-a-kind event. Competitors will have to endure grueling conditions, traveling up to a hundred kilometers a day through uncharted wastelands. With the era of the horse reaching its end, contestants are allowed to use any kind of vehicle they wish. Thousands line up in San Diego to travel over six thousand kilometers for a chance to win the grand prize of fifty million dollars. EditSynopsis In the American Old West, the world's greatest race is about to begin.
