JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run Gets First Trailer, Reveals Cast

We’re getting closer to the return of everyone’s favorite unhinged action romp because JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 7: Steel Ball Run is officially set for a 2026 release window. We received the news during a global live stream event earlier today, which also debuted the series’s first teaser trailer and announced its Japanese voice acting cast.

The trailer showcases the start of the series’ titular cross-country race, where competitors from across this version of 1890s America vie for a $50 million prize. We see much of what the show is known for: colorful character designs, hot-blooded declarations, and dramatic poses.

The voice cast will be as follows: Shōgo Sakata (Aki in Chainsaw Man) as Johnny Joestar, Yōhei Azakami (Guel in Gundamn: Witch from Mercury) as Gyro Zeppeli, Kaito Ishikawa (Tobio Kageyama in Haikyuu!!) as Diego Brando, Rie Takahashi (Megumin in Konosuba) as Lucy Steel, and Kenta Miyake (All Might in My Hero Academia) as Steven Steel.

Steel Ball Run will be the sixth season of the show (the first season contained both parts 1 and 2), courtesy of David Productions, and it will stream exclusively on Netflix. In total, the anime has run for 190 episodes so far.

As for Hirohiko Araki’s manga that the TV series is based on, it has been ongoing since 1987 and has sold over 120 copies, making it one of the longest-running and most popular manga of all time. Steel Ball Run ran from 2004 to 2011 across 24 volumes.

Viz Media offers the following summary for the Steel Ball Run manga:

“Riders from around the world gather in the Wild West for the race of the century! Johnny Joestar, a former jockey paralyzed from the waist down, comes to spectate, and momentarily regains the ability to walk while watching a duel fought by Gyro Zeppeli. Desperate to learn more about this power, Johnny joins the race alongside Gyro and embarks on the most epic and bizarre race to ever cross the American frontier!”
