JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Trademark Sparks Steel Ball Run Anime Rumor

As a long-time fan of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, I can’t help but feel excited about the recent rumors surrounding the potential anime adaptation of Steel Ball Run. The series has been quiet for some time now, and as we wait for the next part from Hirohiko Araki, Steel Ball Run seems like the perfect choice to keep us engaged.


The anime adaptation of “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure” has been relatively quiet for a few years. Meanwhile, creator Hirohiko Araki is busy working on its next installment, but fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming “Steel Ball Run” series. With recent legal documents generating buzz, excitement for this new anime is building.

On social media platforms, the dedicated fan base of “JoJo” rallied together following the unearthing of documents related to the show from 2021. Shueisha subsequently applied for a trademark for “JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run,” as evidenced by these papers. The application encompasses various aspects.

As it turns out, the trademark is good for animation projects amongst other areas. According to the filing, the documents here were registered in June 2022, so Shueisha has cleared any hurdle with Steel Ball Run legally. Now, the question stands whether the publisher intends to put together a production committee any time soon.

Although the appearance of this legal document doesn’t yet bring an announcement, there’s been no communication from the Steel Ball Run anime team regarding the series since the end of Stone Ocean. Fans eagerly await information about Steel Ball Run due to its widespread appeal within the JoJo fanbase. Nevertheless, no developments have been shared, making this trademark registration our only clue.

If you haven’t kept up with “JoJo,” here’s a catch-up: The series, which was created by Araki in 1987, is extensive and continues to produce new content. Regarding “Steel Ball Run,” the seventh installment of “JoJo” emerged in 2004 and concluded around early 2011. Viz Media has yet to start translating “Steel Ball Run,” but we’re hoping they’ll begin soon.
