“

Since seasons pass and man evolves during his life, I think it's important to build what I call the theme of one's work by basing it on the foundations of their previous works, and that wanting to cut oneself one from that past is a mistake we shouldn't make. Thus, in Steel Ball Run, you will meet characters whose names are similar to some of the characters in the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure saga. You can see them as their ancestors, or as their incarnations in a parallel world.
However, the theme remains the same: a hymn to humanity. What will happen to these people plunged into the strange race of life?

“

季節がうつり変わるように、あるいは人が人生を歩むように、作品のテーマというものも過去からの延長線上になければと思うのです。断ち切ることは、してはいけないと考えます。
SBR(スティール・ボール・ラン)には「ジョジョの奇妙な冒険」に登場したキャラクターに似た名前の人物が出て来ますが、彼らの先祖と考えるかあるいは、パラレル・ワールドと考えてください。
テーマは同じ人間讃歌。人生という奇妙なレースを登場人物たちはどう突き進むのか！？
