by

Summary

  • The next JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure anime installment will focus on Steel Ball Run or Part 7, confirmed by an official post.
  • Fans can anticipate a special announcement on JOJODAY, April 12, 2025, alongside a poll for favorite episodes.
  • The anime adaptation of Steel Ball Run might be handled by David Production, potentially releasing in late 2026, prioritizing quality.

Recently, the official JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure account, previously known as Twitter, shared a post indicating that an announcement about the next installment of the anime is imminent. As the last part, Stone Ocean, has already been adapted, the upcoming anime will center on Steel Ball Run, which is Part 7 in the series.

It is worth noting that the post does not mention Steel Ball Run explicitly, but it does state that there will be a special announcement for the upcoming JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure. For years, fans have been waiting to see an anime adaptation of Steel Ball Run.

Apart from being the top-ranked JoJo part on MyAnimeList, Steel Ball Run also holds the second-highest rating among mangas on the site. The overwhelmingly positive ratings clearly demonstrate that this series is a true masterpiece, generating immense excitement within its fan community.

JOJODay Will Be A Big Event

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure fans should mark their calendars for April 12, 2025, because it is the day when the announcement will be made. It is called JOJODAY, as there will be other interesting events related to the franchise. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is also holding a poll in which fans can vote for their favorite episode. The voting period ends on March 30, 2025, and the results will be announced on April 12, 2025.

Aside from the anime, Steel Ball Run will be available in English print for the first time. Viz Media had already announced a physical release on its X account, and it was the first clue about a possible anime adaptation of Steel Ball Run. The first volume of Part 7 will be released on May 27, 2025.

Steel Ball Run Anime Possible Release Date

Once the anime is announced, fans will naturally question when it will be released (unless a release date is disclosed at the same time). Since David Production has animated every season of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, it is safe to say that Steel Ball Run will be handled by the same studio. In that case, Steel Ball Run could come out in late 2026, as David Production has scheduled the final season of Fire Force for early 2026.

Since both are important projects, it doesn’t make sense to prioritize one over the other. Therefore, David Production will try to take its time and not rush either of them. Steel Ball Run will be a new challenge for the studio, as the story is set during a horse race. Many studios have struggled to capture the motion properly, so there will be pressure on David Production to get it right.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is available to stream on Netflix.
