STEEL BALL RUN JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’s 2nd Stage will premiere on September 25th, with new episodes premiering every Friday. The second and third stages of the series will each consist of 11 episodes.

“A desert crossing spanning roughly 750 miles—the land that Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli must make their way through, is home to the dreaded area known as the “Devil’s Palm.”
As ominous incidents begin to unfold, they are forced to realize that this race is far more than a mere competition. The two press forward into the 2nd STAGE, where countless hidden motives collide.”
