That panel on the right... he said that about Gyro's steel balls...

Y'know the first time I've read Steel Ball Run, I was honestly peed off at Araki for not continuing Part 7 as a sequel after Stone Ocean, completely dropped it at 3 chapters last month. Then I suddenly realised this month I made a mistake and boy, I wasn't ready for all the shenanigans that were going to make me become addicted to reading the long whole 95 chapters in 1 day!
I tell ya, Gyro and Johnny were one of the best duo in the Jojo series. I laughed me ass with Gyro coming up with silly sayings like "Did you say something? Were you talking into my ass...? Because I can't hear anything with my ass! " including the cheese song he made up with Johnny. It makes me sad also but I ain't telling you what happened to him unless you read this manga. Gyro may be acting as a tough guy, but he has the best humour in terms of being unpredictable with his words.
I felt so sorry for Johnny though, like the poor fella, his father wasn't even proud of him being a jockey and kicked him out of the family home after falling out with him after the tragic death of his brother. It breaks your heart man like Johnny is actually such a nice bloke if you get to know him more through out the manga! It's even good that Araki created a character with a physical disability because it really shows whatever life throws at them, they can be super heros also equally as someone who doesn't have a physical disability!
I really wish they made Poco Loco join the team because I found he wouldve been the potential candidate to be a good team member alongside with Gyro and Johnny. Unfortunately we can't always get what we wish for in some mangas but yeah this was a very good reading experience. I just loved the horse racing scenes, including the pair bois going across the desert!
Yeah lads definitely advice you to read the whole story of this manga if Part 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 have impressed you enough!

I'm so excited to finally be reading JJBA:part 7 Steel Ball Run. I'm having fun watching weekly part 5 anime adaptation and part 6 manga was a fun wild ride and so far SBR is keeping up with its predecessors. I heard that part 7 is considered Araki's magnum opus aka his best work to date, I'm thrilled to get into the story.
SBR is centered around the competition Steel Ball Run which is a race from San Diego to New York with the winning prize of 50 million dollars. The participants can ride on a horse or a camel or go on foot, but they can't change their ride mid-race. The events starts on September 25th 1890.
For now we are following three individual characters: Sandman, Gyro Zeppeli and Johnny Joestar.
Sandman is Native American man who enters the competition to get money to buy his homeland so that white people won't be able to throw them out. Sandman seems like a smart, capable man and it was fun to have him opening up the first chapter.
Gyro Zeppeli is gorgeous. Araki really did us a solid with his design. Gyro also seems like a capable, cunning man. He isn't the type to play fairly, he wants to win and he will do anything to achieve his goal.
Johnny Joestart is former professional horse riders, but he was injured and now he can't walk, he uses wheelchair. Johnny is very determined and his single-minded focus will get him places. Johnny is also participating in the race.
I have a pre-manga knowledge that Johnny and Gyro will team up, I can't wait! For now it is very much Every Man For Himself.
Speaking about men. The organizer of the run said that everyone can enter the competition, but for now it is a very men-dominated story.
There is a very confusing thing in the manga. The main event is called Steel Ball Run, named after its sponsor Mr Steel. On the other hand, there are steel balls owned by Gyro. It can't be a coincidence, right?
The race itself was beautiful drawn, you feel the tension, you're invested in the outcome of the race and it's a perfect "sports manga" time.
The art is gorgeous, but it is Araki, so nobody is surprised by it.
Volume 1 is obviously an introductory volume, we get a feeling of the main cast, see the setting and the world. I like that we have a clear goal at the end. I love when the plot is structured.
so yay! I'm happy with how things are developing for now.
P.S. Diego Brando has three panels total in vol. 1 but they are the hottest, he is the hottest, 10/10 I love Diego Brando.
