In an alternate 1890, the Steel Ball Run is a long and challenging cross-country horse race from San Diego to New York City, organized by philanthropist Stephen Steel to reignite America’s pioneering spirit. With a massive $50 million prize, this event draws competitors from all over the world. Johnny Joestar, a disillusioned former jockey who is now confined to a wheelchair, finds renewed hope through Gyro Zeppeli, an enigmatic racer who can make steel balls spin and grant temporary mobility to Johnny. Driven by his curiosity about Gyro’s abilities, Johnny decides to participate in the race. However, as he delves deeper into the competition, he begins to realize that there is more at stake than just a secret; the fate of a sacred corpse, a dangerous conspiracy involving the U.S. President, and possibly even his own life are all on the line.
