Fans are encouraged to be patient as additional updates are expected in the forthcoming months. JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is likely to have a significant presence at Jump Festa 2026, where major announcements typically follow. This event could potentially provide the first proper trailer or a confirmed release window for Steel Ball Run.
In addition to the announcement of the anime, JOJODay featured other exciting news, including the reveal of a new video game based on the franchise. Another highlight was the introduction of an exhibition called JOJOCARVAN, designed to celebrate the announcement of Steel Ball Run.
The Origins of the Anime Rumors
Speculation about the Steel Ball Run anime adaptation began emerging in 2024, coinciding with Viz Media’s announcement of the English release for the manga. The official X (formerly Twitter) account of Viz Media confirmed that Steel Ball Run Volume 1 is set for release in May 2025.
David Production, renowned for its work on previous parts of the series, is at the helm of this anime production. Given their current engagement with the final season of Fire Force, the recent start of work on Steel Ball Run is understandable.

One significant concern among fans is whether the anime will be available on Netflix in a batch format, similar to Stone Ocean. Many viewers disliked this release strategy as it extended the wait time between episodes and diminished their engagement with the series. It remains to be seen if the approach will be different this time.
Currently, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure can be streamed on Crunchyroll.
