Steel Ball Run Release Date Has Been Confirmed
Steel Ball Run Anime Will Released In 2026
- Steel Ball Run is an excellent manga
- SBR deserves a proper adaptation
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run is set to be released in 2026. That’s right. According to SugoiLite, a reliable leaker, the Steel Ball Run anime will premiere in 2026. The account didn’t share an exact release date, so it’s likely that the production has yet to conclude.
JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is holding a special event on September 23, 2025, so an official release date might be disclosed then. It is also possible that a new trailer might be shared with the fans, giving them a glimpse of what the anime is going to be like.
Previously, fans were worried about how David Production would handle the production, especially when there are horses involved in the story. However, the people at David Production have reassured fans that they don’t need to fret and everything will be of high quality. David Production has a history of producing top-notch adaptations, so there is no reason for fans to be anxious.
Steel Ball Run Anime Will Be Available To Watch On Netflix
Steel Ball Run Will Be A Netflix Exclusive
It has been confirmed that the Steel Ball Run anime is going to be available exclusively on Netflix. The news is not surprising as the Stone Ocean anime was also limited to Netflix. Steel Ball Run fans are a bit worried about the anime because Netflix has a habit of releasing episodes in batches, which kills the momentum. Hopefully, Netflix has learned its lesson, and it will release new episodes of Steel Ball Run on a weekly basis. Currently, the episode count has not been confirmed, but it’s expected to be anywhere between 30–40. An exact number should be disclosed as the anime gets closer to release.
Steel Ball Run is focused on the journey of Johnny Joestar, a paraplegic who has a strong desire to turn his life around. After meeting Gyro Zeppeli, Johnny realizes that there is a possibility of him walking again. So, he decides to stick with Gyro and follow him throughout the entirety of the Steel Ball Run race.
