Fans of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure have an exciting development to look forward to: a new manga collection is set to release on a intriguingly timed date. With the highly anticipated JOJO Day just around the corner, there are whispers suggesting that this event could finally reveal the long-awaited adaptation of the Steel Ball Run arc into anime form.
JOJO Day will take place on Saturday, April 12, 2025, as a live-streamed event celebrating the legacy of Jojo’s history, while also unveiling future announcements. Since the announcement of this special day, enthusiasts have been eager for confirmation that a Steel Ball Run anime adaptation might be on the horizon. Adding to the excitement was a premature post on X (formerly known as Twitter), which inadvertently advertised the Steel Ball Run manga box set, fuelling speculations among fans.

The Timing of the Message Raises Eyebrows
The @Jojo_Wiki account on X (formerly Twitter) shared a screenshot of a deleted tweet from an account managed by publisher Shueisha. This post referenced JOJO Day and seemed to promote the manga box set of part 7 as “perfect for catching up on the original manga.”The ambiguous wording and its hasty deletion hinted that the message may have been published prematurely, possibly before announcing a Steel Ball Run anime.
While this alone does not serve as definitive proof, it certainly suggests that an announcement could be forthcoming. As the date approaches, fans eagerly await confirmation of a Steel Ball Run anime; should it materialize, there would undoubtedly be widespread celebration. After all, it would seem unusual for JOJO Day to generate such buzz without major news, though unexpected turns are not uncommon in this series.

Even prior to the animation of earlier installments, Steel Ball Run stirred significant excitement among fans. This particular arc is noted for its appeal to a more mature audience compared to previous parts, offering deeper themes and character development. The protagonist, Johnny Joestar, a paraplegic ex-jockey, undergoes remarkable growth throughout the story, which has been praised as one of the finest in manga history.
As it has now been several years since the conclusion of part 6, anticipation for the animated adaptation of part 7 has reached a fever pitch. All eyes are on JOJO Day since its announcement, with fan interest peaking as they seek any hints regarding an anime release. The recent deleted message has rekindled hope for many, and for those who have awaited the adaptation of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure part 7, JOJO Day could very well mark a pivotal moment in their long wait.
