Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Steel Ball Run is the seventh part of the long-running JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series and the first part of the rebooted series. It is preceded by Stone Ocean and followed by JoJolion. While still published by Shonen Jump in 2004, the following year it transferred to the magazine's Seinen cousin, Ultra Jump, running there until 2011.The story returns to 1890, but in an different universe from the previous parts. Philanthropist Stephen Steel, hoping to rekindle the United States' pioneering spirit, will be holding the Steel Ball Run: a cross-country marathon from San Diego to New York, a nearly 3000-mile span. With a prize pot of 50 million dollars, the announcement attracts equestrians and other contenders from all over the world to California for a chance at glory.Johnny Joestar is a cynical and bitter young paraplegic, an ex-jockey who has been lost since an accident paralyzed him from the waist down. Upon meeting race participant Gyro Zeppeli, a boisterous and charismatic Italian, he discovers that Gyro's mysterious weapons, a pair of steel balls, are able to make him temporarily walk. Johnny, desperate to understand the secret of Gyro's technique, opts to join the race and learn Gyro's tricks firsthand.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Unfortunately, there is a lot more going on in the race than either Johnny or Gyro first imagine. As the race goes on they find themselves in constant conflict with cutthroat competitors, and gradually uncover a huge conspiracy involving an ancient corpse and the President of the United States.Steel Ball Run is an important transition for the franchise: it marks the series' jump to a new continuity (which the later JoJolion would continue), unrelated to previous parts besides the iconic Stands, and several Mythology Gags usually with character names. Moreover, during its run, the franchise shifted from being published in Weekly Shounen Jump to Ultra Jump, a monthly seinen magazine. | |

Their Stand Tatoo You! enables them to merge into and out of each other via the tatoos on their backs, effectively allowing every mook to exist inside a single member like a living Clown Car. | |

| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run (Manga) / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: The franchise had gradually been getting more risque and ambitious in its storytelling and characterization for years, and part 7 officially transitioned to a franchise aimed at adults. It shows. Johnny is by far the most flawed, byronic Jojo, and the part in general takes itself more seriously than the previous parts, with a greater focus on the central narrative and the Character Development of the cast. The greater freedom afforded to the seinen demographic also allowed Araki to go further than he did in the previous parts, with even a few cases of on-screen Attempted Rape. | |

Not as You Know Them | |
| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run (Manga) / int_1b0040c6 | comment |
Not as You Know Them: Stands get somewhat downgraded in importance for this part. For the past four parts, Stands are the go-to offensive tool for the heroes, with the vast majority of the combat between Stand users being done by their actual Stands. In Steel Ball Run, Stands are more like "objects" or "tools" for the characters to use rather than "punch-ghosts" exemplified by the likes of Star Platinum, The World, and more. For example, Johnny's stand Tusk allows him to fire his nails like bullets, but he still has to aim and shoot them himself, and it manifests itself as a small elephant creature. Diego's Stand Scary Monsters lets him turn people into dinosaurs under his will, but otherwise has no physical manifestation. Characters like Ringo Roadagain and Blackmore physically use their Stands as wearable objects, and D-I-S-C-O takes this Up to Eleven by having his Stand only be a keyboard system and "playing field", with no other properties to it. Instead, most of the importance is placed on the actual Users of each Stand and how they use their abilities in an effective way, which is likely done to give Gyro a fighting chance in battle with his Steel Balls. Notably, there are only five traditional humanoid Stands in this part, those being Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure, D4C, Ball Breaker, Tusk Act 4, and THE WORLD, and the only Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs beatdown in the whole part is delivered right at the end. | |

Reality Ensues | |
| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run (Manga) / int_1d9a2764 | comment |
Reality Ensues: The race is cool and all, with all the racers using their unique traits to get ahead, like Sandman running on foot or Diego taking advantage of his refined horse racing expertise, but after the first race, Gyro takes a penalty for apparently attempting to disrupt Sandman with a thrown steel ballnote In reality, he was trying to get Pocoloco's horse to trip, but that would have incurred a penalty as well. Steven Steel catches a lot of flak from the populace after the race ends for all the lives that have been ended from people dying from the extensively long race and from people attempting murder to get ahead in the rankings. Thankfully for him, opinions of him turn better when he donates the earnings of the race to multiple charities. | |

| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run (Manga) / int_3496b29a | comment |
Heart Is an Awesome Power: On concept, being able to use the Spin to make things... spin, doesn't sound like a particularly useful ability to have, and not nearly as useful as its earlier counterpart in Ripple. In reality, it has a ton of useful applications: spinning one's nails or thrown items to turn them into deadly projectiles, triggering muscle reflexes to make a paraplegic walk, flatten limbs to let the user twist into tight spaces, or affecting one's skin to change their appearance. | |

Distinguishing Mark | |

Distinguishing Mark: The first few Corpse Parts give their bearers unique scars on the parts of their body on the skin covering the part in question. Valentine has "considerae"note Latin for "Conscience" over his heart, while Johnny has "move crus"note Latin for "move your legs" on his left arm. | |

Honest Axe | |
| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run (Manga) / int_4c66466a | comment |
Honest Axe: Sugar Mountain, the guardian of The Saint's ears. If you throw something in the spring, she'll ask what it is that you lost among a selection of choices. Answer honestly and you get it all. At first Gyro and Johnny seem to exploit this to get what they want, but they find out very quickly that there's a catch even to that. You have to "use up" whatever you got before sundown of that day, or else you'll be assimilated by a "tree". Only so many people can be assimilated at any point in time, and Sugar Mountain deliberately strung Gyro and Johnny along simply because she'll get her parents back if they get assimilated. | |

White-and-Grey Morality | |
| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run (Manga) / int_58962105 | comment |
White-and-Grey Morality: Part 7 is founded on this. While people like Gyro and Lucy are good people (Johnny eventually comes around as well, though he's much grayer than most heroes), none of the main villains are really evil, per say. Diego wants to win because it's his job, and to fulfill his dream of being wealthy to avenge his mother. Funny Valentine, on the other hand wants the parts because he feels that they are too dangerous for anyone else, and he wants to use them to further the gain of his country and make his citizens' lives better. When the main villain is a guy that Jesus Christ himself approves of, you know this trope is in full effect. | |

| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run (Manga) / int_58d24389 | comment |
Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs: The part is made distinct by a lack of this; many characters have Stands that just aren't physical attackers, so they tend to carry other weapons instead. The only two that do attack physically are Tusk ACT4 and D4C, and the latter prefers attacking with singular blows a-la King Crimson. Not even THE WORLD attacks this way, despite being a clear analogue to a Stand that did. | |

Never the Selves Shall Meet: If two versions of the same person from alternate dimensions touch, they will both be annihilated. This is one key use of Valentine's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. D4C also insulates Valentine himself from this effect and actually allows him to mentally sync with his alternative selves. The annihilation effect turns out to be the only thing allowing for a final victory for the heroes when Lucy uses the severed head of the home dimension's Diego against the alternative Diego. | |

Fantasy Gun Control | |
| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run (Manga) / int_6bcfbc7e | comment |
Fantasy Gun Control: For once, averted. Since this is a Spaghetti Western, both allies and villains regularly carry firearms, usually revolvers and the odd double-barrel shotgun; due to a suspicious deficiency this part has of traditional humanoid Stands that can deflect bullets, this means guns are actually quite effective here. That being said, once Johnny acquires the ability to shoot his nails with Tusk, he stops carrying around a pistol, despite the number of fights where one would be very useful. | |

The manga doesn't linger on the United States themselves, but still offers a diverse cast of Americans, from the optismistic Stephen Steel bent on pioneering spirit, the noble cowboy Mountain Tim, but also President Funny Valentine, a Noble Demon full of Patriotic Fervor, while the Indian Sandman criticizes how the Americans have stolen his tribe's land. | |

"Rashomon"-Style: The first time D4C's power is disclosed, Johnny is shot by someone and we follow not less than four times the point of views of different characters (Johnny, Wekapipo, Diego and Valentine) in order to explain everything. It turns out that all of their perspectives are accurate; Johnny was shot by one person, but Wekapipo, Diego, and Valentine all shot Johnny. D4C's power allows multiple alternate universes to exist in the same place, thus explaining the superposition of the three assailants (kind of). | |

Final Battle: The final battle takes place by the sea as the land around our hero and the villain draws closer to Lucy and Funny Valentine is surrounding the area with Love Train. Now add stands and a ball crushingly sad death to mix and you got one hell of a final battle. After this climactic battle, the denouement concludes with Lucy and the alternate Dio confronting each other in Valentine's vault just before he can succeed in stealing the Corpse, where Lucy has brought the one weapon that can defeat him: the decapitated head of the original Dio. Though not as epic in scale it is perhaps the most tense, claustrophobic, and triumphant fight in the Part. | |

Send in the Clones: Funny Valentine's Stand power makes him practically immortal, since when he dies, a parallel version of himself is brought in to take his place, and gets all his memories too. The only real way to kill him is to do it quickly, before he can step between universes (Hot Pants and Diego attempt this), or to hit him with an attack whose effect persists between universes (this is Johnny and Gyro's plan). Presumably, destroying the Stand would also work, but that's harder than it sounds. | |

Jail Bait: Lucy Steel is sexualized a lot for a 14 years old girl. May be Values Dissonance as this is seen as more acceptable in Japan than it is in some other areas of the world. Granted, two of the characters that lust after her are blatant villains, while her husband is only a close friend. | |

Retool | |
| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run (Manga) / int_b2283870 | comment |
Retool: The nature of Stands here is very different from the previous parts. In the new iteration of reality of Steel Ball Run, people develop Stands from being in contact with some form of the Saint's Corpse, either obtaining a part of the corpse for themselves of having survived an ordeal in one of the Devil's Palms where the pieces were first located as the land tore apart when Jesus of Nazareth died there and carried the pieces of his fractured corpse across the Arizona desert. And many of the Stands in Steel Ball Run are more ability- and object-oriented than the humanoid forms they've had since Stardust Crusaders; Scan is one of Gyro's Steel Balls, Cream Starter is a spray can, Oh! Lonesome Me is a lasso, and Tusk starts out just as a small sprite that appears alongside Johnny when he shoots off his fingernails. The follow-up part JoJolion, which takes place in the same timeline as SBR, returns to the series roots in a fashion by having more humanoid Stands, but they first appear as inanimate abilities of the users. | |

Weaksauce Weakness: The power of the Spin as taught by the Zeppeli family is to imitate the golden ratio as closely as possible. This forces Gyro and Johnny to observe the natural world as a reference if they want to attack with golden spiral spin, since the golden ratio appears regularly in natural life; if they have no such nature in their presence, their spin-related techniques become drastically weaker. | |

However, when Lucy sheds her fake skin, Valentine is actually stunned to see who's the impersonator, allowing Lucy to actually stab Valentine in the neck. Valentine gets better though. | |

Everything's Better with Spinning: Literally. Gyro Zeppeli's ability with his metal spheres involves causing them to spin, then endowing this spin to other objects, enabling him to cut through stone, alter someone's muscular system, and even harden skin enough that bullets bounce off (not that it hurts any less, though). Wekapipo uses a variant for his Wrecking Ball. | |

Whole Plot Reference: In case the familiar-sounding title didn't tip you off, the plot is based on The Cannonball Run, which was itself based on an actual cross-country race in the U.S. The difference here, though, is that it takes place in the Weird West. A particular moment in the final battle between Johnny and Funny Valentine is probably based on the lyrics of the Dirty Deeds Done Dirty cheap song. | |

He then privately shut of the possibility of any Relationship Upgrade with her, wishing her to life her life and be happy. Nonetheless, the two are very close and risk their lives trying to save the other. The narration itself recognizes that their relationship cannot be classified as either romance of friendship. | |

Attempted Rape | |
| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run (Manga) / int_f85354eb | comment |
Attempted Rape: First seen in Ringo's backstory where he was almost raped by a vagrant. The second instance is Funny Valentine attempting to rape Lucy, and changing his mind once he sees she's become a vessel for the Corpse Parts. | |

Weird West | |

Weird West: "Steel Ball Run". Cowboys? Check. Gunfights? Check. Weird stuff? Boatloads, like Stands, the mummified bodyparts of Jesus being powerful MacGuffins, and a hereditary execution technique centered around making things spin. | |

Artistic License – Physics | |
| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run (Manga) / int_fc225bec | comment |
Artistic License – Physics: At one point the manga claims that gravity is what's holding the atoms in our bodies together. That would be strong interaction (in nuclei) and electromagnetism (electrons to the nucleus) instead. However, certain interpretations of cosmology and quantum physics postulate that all fundamental forces are tied to gravity. | |

Unnaturally Looping Location | |
| JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run (Manga) / int_fef0037b | comment |
Unnaturally Looping Location: Gyro, Johnny, and Hot Pants repeatedly ride through parts of the same forest. Ringo Roadagain, a Death Seeker, refuses to let them escape unless one of them fights and kills him. Subverted in that the forest itself is not actually looping. Ringo can rewind time with his Stand and he's using his power to disorient them. | |
