[[File:SBR Chapter 3.png|thumb|261x261px|Gyro Zeppeli and Johnny Joestar, the main characters of the story.|alt=]]For keeping English literature, [[Sandman]] is forced to flee his tribe. He mysteriously outpaces his pursuers, who are on horseback, and escapes thanks to a [[Stand|mysterious power]]. Sandman meets his sister near a cliff whose wall is covered in mysterious spherical holes and shows her a newspaper headline regarding the imminent [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]].<br /><br />
<br />
<!--T:9--><br />
[[Steven Steel]], promoter, holds a press conference to present the Steel Ball Run: a multi-staged horse race across America with a grand prize of $50,000,000. Various contestants are coming from all over the world: among the favorites is [[Mountain Tim]] the cowboy, [[Dot Han]] the Mongolian horseman, and the British jockey [[Diego Brando]]. However, even unknown people like the emancipated [[Pocoloco]] and Sandman are coming.<br />
[[File:XtC6I.png|left|thumb|175x175px|The Spin in action]]<br />
[[Gyro Zeppeli]] is introduced as he registers his entry. He challenges a thief in a duel and makes him shoot himself by throwing a [[Steel Ball]] at his opponent's shoulder. Interested, a bystander in a wheelchair touches the still spinning Steel Ball in its holster, and momentarily stands up. That man's name is [[Johnny Joestar]], a former genius jockey who became paraplegic after a petty fight, ruining his life.<br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
Amazed at the miracle of the Steel Balls, Johnny insists that the Italian reveals him their secret but Gyro refuses. Johnny buys a horse anyway and enters the race. As the race nears its beginning, Gyro, impressed that Johnny dares come to the starting line still dragged off by his horse, gives him a hint about spinning. Just as the race begins, Johnny manages to mount his horse.<br />

The Steel Ball Run begins. [[Steven Steel|Steven]] and special guest board a train to follow the first stage. As the racers begin to move, Steel explains that the race is divided into nine stages separated by checkpoint cities. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] quickly goes ahead of the racers and amazingly beats two of the favorites, [[Urmd Avdul]] and [[Diego Brando|Diego]], thanks to the power of his Steel Balls. He is then quickly challenged by [[Pocoloco]], encouraged by his [[Hey Ya!]] and emboldened by his uncanny luck. Gyro tries to stop him but only manage to slightly endanger [[Sandman]] as the Indian suddenly appears climbing down a cliff. Using a unique running technique, [[Sandman]] becomes the frontrunner but Gyro, Pocoloco, Johnny and Diego manage to catch up. The race in a mad dash where technique, luck and endurance sway the outcome for a bit just before Gyro turns his cape into a sail to catch the rear wind, Gyro inexorably seizes the first place.<br />

[[Steven Steel]]'s colorful past is explored. It is revealed that the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]] was first imagined by [[Lucy Steel]], then a young girl who suggested the idea to a down-on-his-time Steven. Waking up from a drunken stupor, Steven was then approached by a group of sponsors who were interested in the event and proposed to finance it, making Steven rich again. Grateful for Lucy, and realizing she looked like his first love, he subsequently married her.<br />

The first stage ended, but [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] suddenly receives a penalty due to having endangered [[Sandman]]'s life earlier in the race. He is relegated to the 21st place. After exacting a petty revenge by ruining [[Steven Steel|Steven]]'s party, Gyro accepts to have [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] follow him and teaches him a first lesson: what matters is the Steel Ball's [[Spin]] itself. Meanwhile, Steven and his wife [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] are brought to a murder scene, showing that contestants are murdering the competition. The local Sheriff calls the famous cowboy [[Mountain Tim]] to help who memorizes the horseshoes prints and also falls in love with Lucy.<br />
<br />
<!--T:30--><br />
The second stage of the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] begins, this time, the racers have to cross 1,200&nbsp;km of desert. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] immediately takes a dangerous shortcut and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] has no choice but to follow him. The duo is then attacked by fellow racer [[Mrs. Robinson]] who uses explosive cacti to harass them. Nonetheless, Gyro promptly defeats Robinson with the same chollas. After finding Mrs. Robinson's horse, [[Mountain Tim|Tim]] sees that the horseshoes don't match.<br />
<br />
<!--T:31--><br />
Later, [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] make camp and Johnny makes some progress in the Spin. They are then attacked by [[Andre Boomboom|Andre]], [[Benjamin Boomboom|Benjamin]], and [[L.A. Boomboom|L.A.]] Boomboom, and Gyro realizes that his leg was magnetized by the Stand [[Tomb of the Boom 1 2 3]]. After a brief fight, Gyro and Johnny flee but are sprayed with Andre's blood. Benjamin disguises himself as Johnny Joestar, confronting [[Mountain Tim]] who reveals his Stand [[Oh! Lonesome Me]]. Benjamin successfully plants some of his blood on Tim and pushes him to think Johnny is the murderer. [[Mountain Tim]] catches up to [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]], and the three of them realize that they are affected by the magnetism. Tim presents his power he calls a [[Stand]], which he acquired by stepping into a [[Devil's Palm]], a moving phenomenon granting people Stands. [[Benjamin Boomboom]] uses his Stand to immobilize them and kill them. But Johnny then awakens his own Stand, [[Tusk]], as they were in the Devil's Palm without realizing it. Johnny kills Benjamin and incapacitates L.A., who reveals that they were hired to kill Gyro and is promptly left in the desert.<br />
<br />
<!--T:32--><br />
Under Johnny's persuasion, Gyro reveals his past. He is a citizen of the [[Kingdom of Naples]], who has learned the [[Spin]] from his father and has worked as an executioner. For his first execution, Gyro had to behead [[Marco]], a little boy condemned by mere association with a treasonous lord. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] objected at [[Marco]]'s execution and thus was proposed to participate to the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]], as winning could spur the King to proclaim a general amnesty, otherwise the prize money was enough to pay for Marco's appeal. Gyro accepted.<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />
Some time later, a terrorist from Naples named [[Oyecomova]] arrives at a relay village ready to kill Gyro as revenge against the kingdom. [[Mountain Tim]] confronts Oyecomova but is incapacitated by his Stand [[Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure]]'s explosive power. The fight becomes a race toward the [[Zombie Horse]], a healing item sent for Gyro. After a long pursuit up a river, a combination attack from [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and Gyro manages to take Oyecomova down, and the duo continues the race.<br />
<br />
====Interlude: Gyro Zeppeli's Motivation==== <!--T:34--><br />
{{Main|SBR Chapter 24}}, Interlude<br />
<br />
<!--T:35--><br />
The exact circumstances leading [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] to want to appeal to [[Marco]]'s execution are unveiled. After a prisoner revolts and Gyro was forced to restrain her, Marco took his pouch and tried to fix it, at the other executioner's anger but Gyro realized that Marco didn't deserve his sentence, leading him to him participating in the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:36--><br />
In the present, Gyro and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] retrieve the [[Zombie Horse]] and heal Gyro's leg injury with it.<br />

[[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] are attacked by [[Fritz von Stroheim]], who is disposed of. Johnny, appalled at the frequency of the attacks since the money prize cannot justify these, suddenly realizes that his left arm contains a mummified arm. Meanwhile, [[Steven Steel]] discusses with [[Funny Valentine]], President of the United States. With Joseph of Arimathea's Map in his possession, Valentine covets the relic known as the [[Saint's Corpse]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:41--><br />
About to reach Monument Valley, the duo is attacked again by [[Pork Pie Hat Kid]], one of [[Valentine's Subordinates]]. He captures Gyro and isolates Johnny in the open but Johnny's [[Stand]], [[Tusk]], appears to help his user escape the hooks once then tells him "Movere Crus", before disappearing. Johnny realizes the Steel Ball Run's true purpose. Johnny manages to reach Gyro and the Napolitan foils a last attempt by the enemy to take the Corpse Parts. Having seen his legs being influenced by Tusk, Johnny subsequently diverts his attention on the [[Saint's Corpse]] and convinces Gyro to help him.<br />

<br />
<!--T:53--><br />
At 650&nbsp;km from Kansas City, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] meet [[Hot Pants]] in a forest. They briefly fight over an allegedly stolen cow; Hot Pants revealing his "flesh spray" [[Cream Starter]] and Gyro managing to scan Hot Pants' back, sees the word “Turbo” on his spine, thus leading Gyro and Johnny to locate the next Corpse's part in Kansas City. Johnny defuses the situation and the three eventually have a truce against a gunslinger named [[Ringo Roadagain]] who claims that they won't escape the forest without killing him. The trio confronts Ringo who reveals his [[Stand]] [[Mandom]], which rewinds time by six seconds when he winds up his wristwatch. A shootout ensues in which Johnny and Hot Pants are apparently fatally shot, leaving only Gyro alive. Ringo takes Johnny inside and spares the Napolitan but Gyro realizes that Johnny's wound isn't fatal.<br />
<br />
<!--T:54--><br />
Ringo Roadagain's story is revealed: he was once the sick youngest of an impoverished family. One night, his mother and sister were killed by a bandit and he saved himself by shooting the bandit. Ringo then became a gunslinger seeking challenges to "purify" himself. Finally, Funny Valentine employed him to retrieve the Corpse part from Johnny. Chasing away the last doubts within him, Gyro challenges Ringo again and uses Mandom to his advantage by going through a first loop then leads Ringo into a falling splinter of the roof that impales Roadagain. Acknowledging his defeat and Gyro's growth, Ringo honors him and is finished off. After his duel, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] heals [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Hot Pants]]. Johnny discovers that Ringo has sent a message to [[Valentine]] and also that Hot Pants is a woman, choosing to keep it secret.

Meanwhile, witnessing Ringo's pigeon arriving on the roof, Lucy infiltrates a governmental building and steals the message it carries. Almost surprised by Valentine and his henchman [[Blackmore]], Lucy has no choice but to call [[Mountain Tim]] for help and they both escape incognito. Lucy then goes to retrieve the Spine at a local landmark known as the Green Tomb. However, Blackmore discovers Tim's involvement and kills him with his rain-controlling [[Catch the Rainbow]]. He then discovers that Lucy was the culprit and rushes toward her location as she uncovers the Spine. As Diego, Johnny and Gyro ride toward the Green Tomb, Lucy is discovered by Blackmore. He takes the Spine from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] but is distracted by [[Jesus]]-Christ; he is shot by Lucy who escapes with the Corpse Part. Exalted by the miracles around him, Blackmore seals his fatal wounds with raindrops and pursues Lucy. Meanwhile, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] are unable to get ahead of [[Diego Brando|Diego]]. In the tempest, they struggle to find the optimal path while Diego's enhanced senses help him. Nonetheless, Gyro's growth expresses itself when he manages to catch up to Diego. After a brief fight, Silver Bullet hurts its leg, throwing Diego out of the race.<br />
<br />
<!--T:56--><br />
The duo then meets Lucy and Blackmore almost at the same time and a fight ensues. Catch the Rainbow immobilizes Johnny and Gyro, but the latter manages to throw a Steel Ball on Blackmore by evaporating some raindrops.

Near the Mississippi, Gyro and Johnny are attacked by a combination of Diego's dinosaurs and a strange power which produces effects like cutting or burning whoever touched an affected object. The duo has to flee to the river. Johnny reminisces his sad youth, notably how he blames himself for his brother [[Nicholas Joestar|Nicholas']] death and how poorly his father treated him. Considering that the universe is making him pay for his assumed unwitting murder, Johnny loses hope as his Stand proves ineffectual.<br />
<br />
<!--T:59--><br />
An angry Gyro reminds him that Johnny isn't close to master the [[Spin]] and introduces the [[Golden Rectangle]], a ubiquitous proportion which is used to form a perfect and infinite rotation. However, Gyro refuses to say more. [[Sandman]] reveals himself as the enemy and inexorably corners the duo, even slicing Gyro's legs. On the brink of despair, Johnny realizes that the Golden Rectangle is present in the environment and upgrades [[Tusk]] to ACT2. An even shootout ensues, but Johnny surprises Sandman with a bullet made from Gyro's belt and kills the Indian. Suddenly, [[Hot Pants]] appears and knocks him out.

==Trivia== <!--T:113--><br />
* In order to research the American landscape, Araki knew he couldn't cross the United States in one journey and thus split his research trips into three. The first went from the West Coast to the deserts, the second was made from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago and the third to the finish line in New York. The trips were mostly done by car. In there, Araki was struck by the openness of the landscape and sensed that he "could never make an escape from an adversary" and that there was nowhere to hide. The emptiness of the landscape also inspired in him an impression of emptiness and lifelessness. Although Araki asked himself if there was any fun in living there at all, he also says that the atmosphere felt rich for suspense. Araki was able to put his experience to use when he drew the manga.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki's Manga Technique]], p.161</ref> <br />

*During its initial serialization in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]], Steel Ball Run was categorized as a different series without the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' title. The change was a request from the editorial department in an attempt to attract reader attention by introducing a "new series."<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: [HISTORY] - P 153 - 154''</ref> This was undone when the series moved to [[Ultra Jump]] in 2005, specifically in the [[SBR Chapter 25|May 2005 issue]] where the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure name was re-added to the title and the chapter numbering was reset.<br />
**Araki has mentioned that, despite the name alternation, he wrote Steel Ball Run as the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from the start.<ref name="JOJOVELLER" /><ref>[[Author's Note (Steel Ball Run)|SBR Volume 1: Author's Note]]</ref><br />

He mysteriously outpaces his pursuers, who are on horseback, and escapes thanks to a [[Stand|mysterious power]].

[[Steven Steel]], promoter, holds a press conference to present the Steel Ball Run: a multi-staged horse race across America with a grand prize of $50,000,000. Various contestants are coming from all over the world: among the favorites is [[Mountain Tim]] the cowboy, [[Dot Han]] the Mongolian horseman, and the British jockey [[Diego Brando]]. However, even unknown people like the emancipated [[Pocoloco]] and Sandman are coming.<br />
[[File:XtC6I.png|left|thumb|175x175px|The Spin in action]]<br />
[[Gyro Zeppeli]] is introduced as he registers his entry. He challenges a thief in a duel and makes him shoot himself by throwing a [[Steel Ball]] at his opponent's shoulder. Interested, a bystander in a wheelchair touches the still spinning Steel Ball in its holster, and momentarily stands up. That man's name is [[Johnny Joestar]], a former genius jockey who became paraplegic after a petty fight, ruining his life.<br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
Amazed at the miracle of the Steel Balls, Johnny insists that the Italian reveals him their secret but Gyro refuses. Johnny buys a horse anyway and enters the race. As the race nears its beginning, Gyro, impressed that Johnny dares come to the starting line still dragged off by his horse, gives him a hint about spinning. Just as the race begins, Johnny manages to mount his horse.<br />

The first stage ended, but [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] suddenly receives a penalty due to having endangered [[Sandman]]'s life earlier in the race. He is relegated to the 21st place. After exacting a petty revenge by ruining [[Steven Steel|Steven]]'s party, Gyro accepts to have [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] follow him and teaches him a first lesson: what matters is the Steel Ball's [[Spin]] itself. Meanwhile, Steven and his wife [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] are brought to a murder scene, showing that contestants are murdering the competition. The local Sheriff calls the famous cowboy [[Mountain Tim]] to help who memorizes the horseshoes prints and also falls in love with Lucy.<br />
<br />
<!--T:30--><br />
The second stage of the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] begins, this time, the racers have to cross 1,200&nbsp;km of desert. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] immediately takes a dangerous shortcut and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] has no choice but to follow him. The duo is then attacked by fellow racer [[Mrs. Robinson]] who uses explosive cacti to harass them. Nonetheless, Gyro promptly defeats Robinson with the same chollas. After finding Mrs. Robinson's horse, [[Mountain Tim|Tim]] sees that the horseshoes don't match.<br />
<br />
<!--T:31--><br />
Later, [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] make camp and Johnny makes some progress in the Spin. They are then attacked by [[Andre Boomboom|Andre]], [[Benjamin Boomboom|Benjamin]], and [[L.A. Boomboom|L.A.]] Boomboom, and Gyro realizes that his leg was magnetized by the Stand [[Tomb of the Boom 1 2 3]]. After a brief fight, Gyro and Johnny flee but are sprayed with Andre's blood. Benjamin disguises himself as Johnny Joestar, confronting [[Mountain Tim]] who reveals his Stand [[Oh! Lonesome Me]]. Benjamin successfully plants some of his blood on Tim and pushes him to think Johnny is the murderer. [[Mountain Tim]] catches up to [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]], and the three of them realize that they are affected by the magnetism. Tim presents his power he calls a [[Stand]], which he acquired by stepping into a [[Devil's Palm]], a moving phenomenon granting people Stands. [[Benjamin Boomboom]] uses his Stand to immobilize them and kill them. But Johnny then awakens his own Stand, [[Tusk]], as they were in the Devil's Palm without realizing it. Johnny kills Benjamin and incapacitates L.A., who reveals that they were hired to kill Gyro and is promptly left in the desert.<br />
<br />
<!--T:32--><br />
Under Johnny's persuasion, Gyro reveals his past. He is a citizen of the [[Kingdom of Naples]], who has learned the [[Spin]] from his father and has worked as an executioner. For his first execution, Gyro had to behead [[Marco]], a little boy condemned by mere association with a treasonous lord. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] objected at [[Marco]]'s execution and thus was proposed to participate to the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]], as winning could spur the King to proclaim a general amnesty, otherwise the prize money was enough to pay for Marco's appeal. Gyro accepted.<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />
Some time later, a terrorist from Naples named [[Oyecomova]] arrives at a relay village ready to kill Gyro as revenge against the kingdom. [[Mountain Tim]] confronts Oyecomova but is incapacitated by his Stand [[Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure]]'s explosive power. The fight becomes a race toward the [[Zombie Horse]], a healing item sent for Gyro. After a long pursuit up a river, a combination attack from [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and Gyro manages to take Oyecomova down, and the duo continues the race.<br />

Defeated, Gyro admits that he does lack the drive to win.<br />
<br />
<!--T:53--><br />
At 650&nbsp;km from Kansas City, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] meet [[Hot Pants]] in a forest. They briefly fight over an allegedly stolen cow; Hot Pants revealing his "flesh spray" [[Cream Starter]] and Gyro managing to scan Hot Pants' back, seeing the word “Turbo” on his spine and leading Gyro and Johnny to locate the next Corpse's part in Kansas City. Johnny defuses the situation and the three eventually have a truce against a gunslinger named [[Ringo Roadagain]] who claims that they won't escape the forest without killing him. The trio confronts Ringo who reveals his [[Stand]] [[Mandom]], which rewinds time by six seconds when he winds up his wristwatch. A shootout ensues in which Johnny and Hot Pants are apparently fatally shot, leaving only Gyro alive. Ringo takes Johnny inside and spares the Napolitan but Gyro realizes that Johnny's wound isn't fatal.<br />
<br />
<!--T:54--><br />
Ringo Roadagain's story is revealed: he was once the sick youngest of an impoverished family. One night, his mother and sister were killed by a bandit and he saved himself by shooting the bandit. Ringo then became a gunslinger seeking challenges to "purify" himself. Finally, Funny Valentine employed him to retrieve the Corpse part from Johnny. Chasing away the last doubts within him, Gyro challenges Ringo again and uses Mandom to his advantage by going through a first loop then leads Ringo into a falling splinter of the roof that impales Roadagain. Acknowledging his defeat and Gyro's growth, Ringo honors him and is finished off. After his duel, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] heals [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Hot Pants]]. Johnny discovers that Ringo has sent a message to [[Valentine]] and also that Hot Pants is a woman, choosing to keep it secret. Near Kansas City, the duo crosses path with [[Pocoloco]] and [[Sandman]]. They exchange information, making Johnny realizes that Diego has found the location of the next Corpse Part.<br />

[[File:Lucy presents spine.png|thumb|226x226px|Lucy Steel cooperates with Johnny & Gyro, giving them the Spine]]<br />
Meanwhile, witnessing Ringo's pigeon arriving on the roof, Lucy infiltrates a governmental building and steals the message it carries. Almost surprised by Valentine and his henchman [[Blackmore]], Lucy has no choice but to call [[Mountain Tim]] for help and they both escape incognito. Lucy then goes to retrieve the Spine at a local landmark known as the Green Tomb. However, Blackmore discovers Tim's involvement and kills him with his rain-controlling [[Catch the Rainbow]]. He then discovers that Lucy was the culprit and rushes toward her location as she uncovers the Spine. As Diego, Johnny and Gyro ride toward the Green Tomb, Lucy is discovered by Blackmore. He takes the Spine from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] but is distracted by [[Jesus]]-Christ; he is shot by Lucy who escapes with the Corpse Part. Exalted by the miracles around him, Blackmore seals his fatal wounds with raindrops and pursues Lucy. Meanwhile, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] are unable to get ahead of [[Diego Brando|Diego]]. In the tempest, they struggle to find the optimal path while Diego's enhanced senses help him. Nonetheless, Gyro's growth expresses itself when he manages to catch up to Diego. After a brief fight, Silver Bullet hurts its leg, throwing Diego out of the race.<br />
<br />
<!--T:56--><br />
The duo then meets Lucy and Blackmore almost at the same time and a fight ensues. Catch the Rainbow immobilizes Johnny and Gyro, but the latter manages to throw a Steel Ball on Blackmore by evaporating some raindrops. Blackmore dies from his wounds, and the Spine enters Johnny's body as the weather calms itself, and the next Corpse part's location reveals itself to the duo.<br />
<br />
<!--T:57--><br />

The duo has also Lucy to steal the President's Heart, Gyro lending his Right Eye to enable this. In the present, Diego meets with Valentine's henchman. After Diego reveals that he knows about the traitor within Valentine's entourage, [[Valentine]] reluctantly cooperates with the British jockey.<br />
<br />
====The Golden Rectangle==== <!--T:58--><br />
Near the Mississippi, Gyro and Johnny are attacked by a combination of Diego's dinosaurs and a strange power which produces effects like cutting or burning whoever touched an affected object. The duo has to flee to the river. Johnny reminisces his sad youth, notably how he blames himself for his brother [[Nicholas Joestar|Nicholas']] death and how poorly his father treated him. Considering that the universe is making him pay for his assumed unwitting murder, Johnny loses hope as his Stand proves ineffectual.<br />
<br />
<!--T:59--><br />
An angry Gyro reminds him that Johnny isn't close to master the [[Spin]] and introduces the [[Golden Rectangle]], a ubiquitous proportion which is used to form a perfect and infinite rotation. However, Gyro refuses to say more. [[Sandman]] reveals himself as the enemy and inexorably corners the duo, even slicing Gyro's legs. On the brink of despair, Johnny realizes that the Golden Rectangle is present in the environment and upgrades [[Tusk]] to ACT2. An even shootout ensues, but Johnny surprises Sandman with a bullet made from Gyro's belt and kills the Indian. Suddenly, [[Hot Pants]] appears and knocks him out. She steals all the Corpse Parts save a fraction of the Spine.<br />

The [[Eleven Men]] attack them in a casino and almost kill them, but Gyro pays the local thugs to become their bodyguards, killing all but one man.

145&nbsp;km West of Philadelphia, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] are lured by [[Hot Pants]] to a local garbage dump inside a building. Gyro and Johnny are attacked simultaneously by various objects they have left behind throughout their lives, who fuse with them and covering them both with a membrane. Hot Pants is then completely covered in the membrane and disappears. A flashback exposes Hot Pants' past: she is a nun who covets the Corpse to absolve herself after she abandoned her brother to a bear.<br />
<br />
<!--T:76--><br />
Johnny is warned to purify himself with water to dissolve the membrane and manages to escape. Suddenly, Johnny witnesses [[Jesus]] telling "not to shoot if he doubts, then a new path will open to him". When Johnny goes back into the garbage dump, [[Axl RO]], an agent of Valentine, uses his [[Civil War]] to materialize objects of guilt including the specters of people. Johnny is attacked by his father and brother and the situation gets worse when he shoots Ax RO as the attack transfers' Axl RO's own objects of guilt to him. Nonetheless, he suddenly understands Jesus' hint and shoots himself. Gaining the ability to travel into the wormhole created by the spinning nails, Johnny gains the upper hand and grabs the Corpse from afar. He thus forces Axl RO to stab him and is then absolved of his sins. Suddenly, Axl RO is shot in the chest and [[Funny Valentine]] reveals himself. The President seizes the nearly all the Corpse Parts and departs before Johnny can attack.<br />

While Gyro tries to sneak on Diego, Johnny is shot by an unknown party and barely escapes in the sewers with [[Tusk]] ACT3. Gyro notices Johnny's absence and tries to go help him. Another henchman named [[D-I-S-C-O]] confronts Gyro, who is at a disavantage as [[D-I-S-C-O]]'s [[Chocolate Disco]] allows him to teleport any object within a grid on the ground. Using different layers of air as a lens, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] manages to dispose of him. Still, Gyro has no idea of what happened, and the witnesses alternately point [[Diego Brando|Diego]], [[Wekapipo]] or [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] as the culprit. A flashback details the life of [[Jesus]] Christ after his crucifixion, resurrected under the care of Joseph of Arimathea, he drew the map for Joseph then traveled East until he died in America, his relics scattered across the continent.<br />
<br />
<!--T:89--><br />
A series of flashback finally reveal that Valentine's Stand, [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]] or D4C, can make parallel universes coexist in the same plane, explaining everyone's confusion during the last minutes. Valentine attacks Diego and Wekapipo and traps Diego in an alternate dimension through a flag. He steals the Left Eye and disappears but Diego then sacrifices Wekepipo to escape to the base world. Confident that the Corpse Parts are only found in his world, Diego continues his pursuit.<br />

In the Independence Hall, a heavily pregnant [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] is contacted by a mysterious voice compelling her to get away. Due to a series of coincidences, her guards are all incapacitated or killed, allowing Lucy to escape with a wounded [[Steven Steel|Steven]]. Meanwhile, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] asks Johnny to abandon the chase for the [[Saint's Corpse|Corpse Parts]], considering that they've lost. However, Johnny stands up briefly, showing the evolution of his legs, and reaffirms his will to get hold of the Corpse. Gyro accepts to help him and reveals the last level of the [[Spin]], which can be used only by the most skilled horse riders, harnessing a power which can beat Valentine. Unable to locate the Corpse Parts, they resolve to chase Lucy's trail instead. For her part, Lucy has been guided to the river by the voice but realizes that Valentine had lured her to his ship.<br />

She and [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] are to go to the last "X" mark on Joseph of Arimathea's map. However, Diego and Hot Pants meet and agree to cooperate and follow a trail left by [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]], themselves followed by [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]. Diego and Hot Pants eventually catch up to Valentine who's boarded a train with Lucy. A vicious fight ensues as Diego and Hot Pants try multiple times to kill Valentine, culminating in Diego's death, cut in half by the train's wheels. Meanwhile, Gyro and Johnny notice that strange space distortions keep happening around them. In the train, Lucy Steel is turning into the Corpse itself. The space distortions also cause Hot Pants's death when debris converges into her heart. Having been observing the events, [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] uncovers the true nature of this power: there is a gap into space which only he can enter and manipulate.<br />
<br />
<!--T:94--><br />
Finally, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] catch up to the locomotive but Valentine has made it impossible to stop the train. Moreover, Valentine is invincible as "harm" itself is being redirected to random places in the world. Gyro throws a [[Steel Ball]], to seemingly no effect. The duo can only stop Valentine's wagon and retreat temporarily. It is then that Gyro exposes some hair attached to the Ball he's thrown. If they harness the rotational energy of their horses when they run according to the Golden Scale, Gyro and Johnny will reach Valentine. Both charge the wagon. The President defeats Johnny first and forces Gyro to waste a Steel Ball to save his partner. Fortunately, Steven Steel transports Lucy out of the wagon and entrusts her to Gyro, forcing Valentine to pursue them toward the Atlantic Ocean. Meanwhile, Johnny sees Valentine's ear stuck on the Steel Ball, and realizes that Valentine didn't notice his wound. Near the water, a wind gust does make Valentine realizes that he's missing his ear, and as Gyro rushes toward him, the President finally grasps the danger the Spin.<br />

[[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] disappears on the ocean floor while [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] harnesses the Golden Spin with Valkyrie. Despite several decoys, Gyro strikes the real Valentine with the [[Steel Ball]] imbued with the [[Golden Spin]]. Gyro's new stand [[Ball Breaker]] passes through the wall with the [[Spin]] energy and induces senescence in Valentine's cells, while Gyro is shot in the stomach. Unexpectedly, Valentines survives. Out of options, Gyro passes on to Johnny a mysterious speech, his lesson n°5: "The shortest route was a detour. It was a detour that was our shortest path."[[File:TuskAct4color.png|thumb|left|300px|Tusk ACT 4]]It is explained Valentine was saved by a pure coincidence which made Gyro's rotation imperfect. Gyro expires and Valentine empties his revolver on his corpse then attacks Johnny. Johnny wastes all but one nail and is unhorsed but at the last moment understands Gyro's hint. Using the Steel Ball on Slow Dancer's leg, Johnny makes himself get kicked into the air in a Golden Scale leg movement and is imbued with the Golden Spin. [[Tusk]] ACT4 appears. <br />
Tusk ACT4 forces its way into the dimensional gap then pummels D4C with enough force to form a crater on the ground at the bottom of which Valentine escapes. The President soon discovers that the Golden Spin is following him no matter which dimension he flees to and despairs.<br />

A flashback details a young Funny's meeting with his future father-in-law [[Captain Valentine]] and his lesson about patriotism. Given resolve by this memory, Valentine recomposes himself. The President reappears in the base world but admits his loss and proposes Johnny to bring back Gyro Zeppeli. The [[Saint's Corpse|Holy Corpse]] begins to extract itself from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]]. Meanwhile, [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] continues his parley, countering each of Johnny's arguments. At the end, the jockey is nearly convinced.<br />
<br />
<!--T:99--><br />
Johnny nonetheless throws the gun Valentine emptied earlier back at him, daring him to pick it up as a test. Valentine's plans are foiled. A final shootout ensues between the jockey and the President, which Johnny wins. Johnny witnesses a final apparition of [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]'s ghost and says his farewell. He then puts a final nail bullet in Valentine's head, killing him. Valentine's body is dragged underground by the Spin, and all traces of him disappears.<br />

After healing everyone, Johnny realizes that the Corpse has been stolen by a last unknown enemy, identified as at least a [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] contestant. Johnny pursues his final foe. Johnny catches up to the mysterious culprit, and confronts [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego Brando]], alive and well, now wielding a time-stopping Stand called [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|THE WORLD]]. [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] has convinced an alternate version to fulfill his goal in his place.<br />

Both racers realize what the other is capable of and aim to devise a plan which will counter the other's power. As he begins the final stage Johnny meets with his father [[George Joestar I (Steel Ball Run)|George]], and they silently reconcile. The advantage switches between Diego and Johnny until Johnny joins the rest of the racers on the Brooklyn Bridge for one final attack. Both perform their plans but although [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|The World]]'s leg is hit by the rotation, the Stand cuts it and throws it at Johnny who's now imbued with the Golden Spin. Incapacitated, Johnny is powerless as Diego wins the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] and head to the safe in which the Holy Corpse will be put.<br />

* In order to research the American landscape, Araki knew he couldn't cross the United States in one journey and thus split his research trips into three. The first went from the West Coast to the deserts, the second was made from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago and the third to the finish line in New York. The trips were mostly done by car. In there, Araki was struck by the openness of the landscape and sensed that he "could never make an escape from an adversary" and that there was nowhere to hide. The emptiness of the landscape also inspired in him an impression of emptiness and lifelessness. Although Araki asked himself if there was any fun in living there at all, he also says that the atmosphere felt rich for suspense. Araki was able to put his experience to use when he drew the manga.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki's Manga Technique]], p.161</ref> <br />
[[File:SBR Chapter 25 Magazine Cover B.jpg|thumb|200px|"SBR - JJBA: Part 7 Chapter 1" in May 2005 Issue of Ultra Jump]]<br />
*During its initial serialization in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]], Steel Ball Run was categorized as a different series without the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' title. The change was a request from the editorial department in an attempt to attract reader attention by introducing a "new series."<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: [HISTORY] - P 153 - 154''</ref> This was undone when the series moved to [[Ultra Jump]] in 2005, specifically in the [[SBR Chapter 25|May 2005 issue]] where the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure name was re-added to the title and the chapter numbering was reset.<br />
**Araki has mentioned that, despite the name alternation, he wrote Steel Ball Run as the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from the start.<ref name="JOJOVELLER" /><ref>[[Author's Note (Steel Ball Run)|SBR Volume 1: Author's Note]]</ref><br />

[[File:JolyneFFAppearance.png|left|thumb|277x277px|Jolyne Cujoh's first appearance]]<br />
The plot begins in Port St. Lucie, Florida, 2011. [[Jolyne Cujoh]] is introduced in jail, claiming to have been framed for murder. She befriends [[Ermes Costello]] while being transferred to prison. The circumstances of her accusations are clarified. Jolyne and her boyfriend [[Romeo Jisso]] seemingly ran over someone. Romeo, fearful for his future, persuaded Jolyne to not call for help and instead dispose of "the corpse". However, a few days later, Jolyne was arrested.<br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
Meeting her attorney, Jolyne also receives items from her parents, among them an amulet on which she pricks herself before tossing it in anger as it came from her father [[Jotaro Kujo]]. She soon develops a strange power that allows her to partly unravel herself into string, using it to help Ermes keep her money. Arriving at the famous [[Green Dolphin Street Prison]] situated on an island near the coast, Jolyne has nonetheless trouble accustoming herself to the new environment.<br />
<br />
<!--T:11--><br />
[[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]] meets her new cellmate [[Gwess]], who initially victimizes her. Jolyne then discovers that Gwess's pet parrot is a shrunken man put inside of a parrot skin. For this discovery, Gwess shrinks Jolyne and puts her in a mouse's corpse to scout for a way to escape the prison. The scout goes badly: Jolyne slowly grows back and is subsequently spotted and attacked by Gwess' [[Goo Goo Dolls]]. Fully awakening her Stand, [[Stone Free]], Jolyne forces [[Gwess]] to shrink her again and escape the guards, returning to her cell.<br />
<br />
<!--T:12--><br />
Having grown, Jolyne begins to affirm her toughness among the other prisoners, at the same time she helps another victimized prisoner gain her money back.<br />

[[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]] soon comes to visit [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]], however, a mysterious child named [[Emporio Alnino]] warns her that this is a trap.<br />
<br />
<!--T:16--><br />
Jolyne is still forced to meet Jotaro and the conversation is tense, Jolyne hating her father for being absent during her whole youth. Jotaro tells Jolyne that a prisoner named [[Johngalli A.]], a disciple of [[Dio Brando|DIO]], has framed her so that he could lure Jotaro in and take revenge, Jotaro willfully taking the bait for his daughter. Finally, Jotaro tells Jolyne that he will make her escape the prison. Their discussion is interrupted by an attack by Johngalli A. and his Stand [[Manhattan Transfer]]. Being a sniper, Johngalli A. uses Manhattan Transfer to read the wind and detect his targets, but the fight takes a more complex aspect as the JoJos discover that a second enemy Stand is responsible for creating the complex illusion. At a critical point of their escape, Jotaro sees Johngalli A. and the unknown Stand attacking at once and chooses to protect Jolyne. [[Whitesnake]], the second Stand, thus uses its power to remove Jotaro's Stand [[Star Platinum]] and Jotaro's memories, as two [[Stand Discs]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:17--><br />
Jotaro sinks into a deathlike state but confesses to Jolyne that he's always cherished her. Jolyne, moved, resolves to find a way to recover the Stand Discs from White Snake's mysterious user. She then effortlessly defeats Johngalli A. but loses track of the second Stand. Escaping on the beach with her father and putting him inside a submarine, Jolyne resolves to stay behind in prison and recovers the discs Whitesnake stole. Seeing Johngalli gravely wounded, Whitesnake executes him to erase any lead toward him.<br />

Meanwhile, [[Ermes Costello]] has been ill and recovers from a fever in the infirmary. She awakens her Stand [[Kiss]], which can reproduce objects by putting stickers on them, and damage said items when the sticker is removed. Ermes accidentally knocks Memory Disks from fellow prisoner [[Thunder McQueen]] who keeps a 5000$ stash hidden. The suicidal prisoner links himself with Ermes with his [[Highway to Hell]], reflecting any damage done to him to Ermes so they can die both. Ermes successfully escapes.<br />
<br />
<!--T:23--><br />
Ermes is then approached by [[Emporio Alnino|Emporio]] and is brought to Emporio's secret ghost room where she also meets [[Narciso Anasui]] and [[Weather Report]]. Emporio explains that [[Whitesnake]]'s user is the enemy. New wounds warn Ermes that McQueen is trying to kill himself again. Ermes finds him and knocks him out for good, taking his Memory Disk to retrieve the money and fight Whitesnake alongside Jolyne<br />
<br />
<!--T:24--><br />
[[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]] and [[Ermes Costello|Ermes]] volunteer in a search group of five prisoners to look for two missing prisoners and are given explosive bracelets that get set off if they go too far from a supervisor. In the fields, Ermes looks into the Memory Disk again, in which another memory indicates a stash of Stand Disks [[Whitesnake]] keeps hidden in a barn nearby.<br />
<br />
<!--T:25--><br />
Jolyne and Ermes notice that there are six of them, meaning an enemy infiltrated their group. Their supervisor is killed and dragged away. Jolyne and Ermes have to find the hidden enemy. Sentient plankton colony [[Foo Fighters]] (shortened to F.F.) has in fact taken over everyone and begins to fight the two women.<br />
<br />
<!--T:26--><br />
[[Ermes Costello|Ermes]] tries to get the supervisor back into a safe range while [[Foo Fighters]] is dragged into dry land by Jolyne, almost dying because it's dependency on keeping itself wet. [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]] spares F.F, since it was coerced into obeying [[Whitesnake]], and F.F. takes over prisoner [[Atroe|Atroe's]] body. Jolyne successfully retrieves [[Jotaro Kujo|Jotaro]]'s [[Star Platinum]] Disk and takes it back to prison. It is revealed that the real enemy is the prison priest, [[Enrico Pucci]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:27--><br />
[[Enrico Pucci]], a friend of DIO and wielder of [[Whitesnake]], bribes [[Miraschon]] into helping him eliminate [[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]] and gives her the Stand [[Marilyn Manson]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:28--><br />
[[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]], [[Ermes Costello|Ermes]] and [[Foo Fighters|F.F.]] play a game of ball catching, and are approached by Miraschon, who bets that they can't pass the ball between themselves 100 times, Ermes eventually cheats, but Marilyn Manson automatically detects it and takes Ermes' liver as payment. Jolyne wagers another ball, but the free time has ended. She and F.F. have to play in the prison and defend themselves from Miraschon. Jolyne eventually forces Miraschon to give back Ermes' liver and pummels her, taking her out indefinitely.<br />

<!--T:31--><br />
[[Jolyne Cujoh|Jolyne]] then makes a call to the [[Speedwagon Foundation]] to set up a plan to give them the Stand Disk. They agree to meet in the prison courtyard. Jolyne then meets with [[Emporio Alnino|Emporio]] and Stand User [[Weather Report]], who can manipulate the atmosphere and various weather phenomenons.<br />
<br />
<!--T:32--><br />
They are tailed by [[Lang Rangler]] who spits on Jolyne. Jolyne then heads to the courtyard alone but is soon under Lang's influence, which annuls the gravity of anything Jolyne touches. Floating and the atmosphere going away from her, Jolyne calls Weather for help. The two Stand users bring the fight to the factory Jolyne has to cross to reach the courtyard, and they have to fight in zero gravity and airless conditions. Jolyne and Weather defeat Lang Rangler but Weather is too wounded to carry on.<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />
[[Enrico Pucci|Pucci]], who traced Jolyne's phone call, incidentally meets her near the courtyard. Pucci has no choice but to hide his true identity and let Jolyne pass. However, in the courtyard, Jolyne is shot by a guard Whitesnake brainwashed.<br />
<br />

<br />
<!--T:117--><br />
*Araki stated that towards the end of Stone Ocean's serialization, he felt as if he reached the peak of both his creativity and career. Upset by this, he changed the ending in the final few chapters to deliver an ending that would return the ''JoJo'' series back to its roots; a concept he would continue in [[Steel Ball Run]].<ref>[[Interview:Stone Ocean Bunko Vol. 11 (February 2009)]]</ref><br />
*In this part, many characters' names are derived from fashion brands instead of music references.<br />
* According to Araki, the "Stone" of "Stone Ocean" is the will of Jolyne, while "Ocean" symbolizes women altogether.<ref>[[Interview:Stone Ocean Bunko Vol. 1 (April 2008)]]</ref><br />

He mysteriously outpaces his pursuers, who are on horseback, and escapes thanks to a [[Stand|mysterious power]]. Sandman meets his sister near a cliff whose wall is covered in mysterious spherical holes and shows her a newspaper headline regarding the imminent [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]].<br /><br />

[[Steven Steel]], promoter, holds a press conference to present the Steel Ball Run: a multi-staged horse race across America with a grand prize of $50,000,000. Various contestants are coming from all over the world: among the favorites is [[Mountain Tim]] the cowboy, [[Dot Han]] the Mongolian horseman, and the British jockey [[Diego Brando]]. However, even unknown people like the emancipated [[Pocoloco]] and Sandman are coming.<br />
[[File:XtC6I.png|left|thumb|175x175px|The Spin in action]]<br />
[[Gyro Zeppeli]] is introduced as he registers his entry. He challenges a thief in a duel and makes him shoot himself by throwing a [[Steel Ball]] at his opponent's shoulder. Interested, a bystander in a wheelchair touches the still spinning Steel Ball in its holster, and momentarily stands up. That man's name is [[Johnny Joestar]], a former genius jockey who became paraplegic after a petty fight, ruining his life.<br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
Amazed at the miracle of the Steel Balls, Johnny insists that the Italian reveals him their secret but Gyro refuses. Johnny buys a horse anyway and enters the race. As the race nears its beginning, Gyro, impressed that Johnny dares come to the starting line still dragged off by his horse, gives him a hint about spinning. Just as the race begins, Johnny manages to mount his horse.<br />

The Steel Ball Run begins. [[Steven Steel|Steven]] and special guest board a train to follow the first stage. As the racers begin to move, Steel explains that the race is divided into nine stages separated by checkpoint cities. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] quickly goes ahead of the racers and amazingly beats two of the favorites, [[Urmd Avdul]] and [[Diego Brando|Diego]], thanks to the power of his Steel Balls. He is then quickly challenged by [[Pocoloco]], encouraged by his [[Hey Ya!]] and emboldened by his uncanny luck. Gyro tries to stop him but only manage to slightly endanger [[Sandman]] as the Indian suddenly appears climbing down a cliff. Using a unique running technique, [[Sandman]] becomes the frontrunner but Gyro, Pocoloco, Johnny and Diego manage to catch up. The race in a mad dash where technique, luck and endurance sway the outcome for a bit just before Gyro turns his cape into a sail to catch the rear wind, Gyro inexorably seizes the first place.<br />

[[Steven Steel]]'s colorful past is explored. It is revealed that the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]] was first imagined by [[Lucy Steel]], then a young girl who suggested the idea to a down-on-his-time Steven. Waking up from a drunken stupor, Steven was then approached by a group of sponsors who were interested in the event and proposed to finance it, making Steven rich again. Grateful for Lucy, and realizing she looked like his first love, he subsequently married her.<br />

The first stage ended, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] suddenly receives a penalty due to having endangered [[Sandman]]'s life earlier in the race. He is relegated to the 21st place. After exacting a petty revenge by ruining [[Steven Steel|Steven]]'s party, Gyro accepts to have [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] follow him and teaches him a first lesson: what matters is the Steel Ball's [[Spin]] itself. Meanwhile, Steven and his wife [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] are brought to a murder scene, showing that contestants are murdering the competition. The local Sheriff calls the famous cowboy [[Mountain Tim]] to help who memorizes the horseshoes prints and also falls in love with Lucy.<br />
<br />
<!--T:30--><br />
The second stage of the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] begins, this time, the racers have to cross 1,200&nbsp;km of desert. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] immediately takes a dangerous shortcut and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] has no choice but to follow him. The duo is then attacked by fellow racer [[Mrs. Robinson]] who uses explosive cacti to harass them. Nonetheless, Gyro promptly defeats Robinson with the same chollas. After finding Mrs. Robinson's horse, [[Mountain Tim|Tim]] sees that the horseshoes don't match.<br />
<br />
<!--T:31--><br />
Later, [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] make camp and Johnny makes some progress in the Spin. They are then attacked by [[Andre Boomboom|Andre]], [[Benjamin Boomboom|Benjamin]], and [[L.A. Boomboom|L.A.]] Boomboom, and Gyro realizes that his leg was magnetized by the Stand [[Tomb of the Boom 1 2 3]]. After a brief fight, Gyro and Johnny flee but are sprayed with Andre's blood. Benjamin disguises himself as Johnny Joestar, confronting [[Mountain Tim]] who reveals his Stand [[Oh! Lonesome Me]]. Benjamin successfully plants some of his blood on Tim and pushes him to think Johnny is the murderer. [[Mountain Tim]] catches up to [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]], and the three of them realize that they are affected by the magnetism. Tim presents his power he calls a [[Stand]], which he acquired by stepping into a [[Devil's Palm]], a moving phenomenon granting people Stands. [[Benjamin Boomboom]] uses his Stand to immobilize them and kill them. But Johnny then awakens his own Stand, [[Tusk]], as they were in the Devil's Palm without realizing it. Johnny kills Benjamin and incapacitates L.A., who reveals that they were hired to kill Gyro and is promptly left in the desert.<br />
<br />
<!--T:32--><br />
Under Johnny's persuasion, Gyro reveals his past. He is a citizen of the [[Kingdom of Naples]], who has learned the [[Spin]] from his father and has worked as an executioner. For his first execution, Gyro had to behead [[Marco]], a little boy condemned by mere association with a treasonous lord. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] objected at [[Marco]]'s execution and thus was proposed to participate to the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]], as winning could spur the King to proclaim a general amnesty, otherwise the prize money was enough to pay for Marco's appeal. Gyro accepted.<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />
Some time later, a terrorist from Naples named [[Oyecomova]] arrives at a relay village ready to kill Gyro as revenge against the kingdom. [[Mountain Tim]] confronts Oyecomova but is incapacitated by his Stand [[Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure]]'s explosive power. The fight becomes a race toward the [[Zombie Horse]], a healing item sent for Gyro. After a long pursuit up a river, a combination attack from [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and Gyro manages to take Oyecomova down, and the duo continues the race.<br />
<br />

The exact circumstances leading [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] to want to appeal to [[Marco]]'s execution are unveiled. After a prisoner revolts and Gyro was forced to restrain her, Marco took his pouch and tried to fix it, at the other executioner's anger but Gyro realized that Marco didn't deserve his sentence, leading him to him participating in the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]].<br />

[[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] are attacked by [[Fritz von Stroheim]], who is disposed of. Johnny, appalled at the frequency of the attacks since the money prize cannot justify these, suddenly realizes that his left arm contains a mummified arm. Meanwhile, [[Steven Steel]] discusses with [[Funny Valentine]], President of the United States. With Joseph of Arimathea's Map in his possession, Valentine covets the relic known as the [[Saint's Corpse]].<br />
<br />
<!--T:41--><br />
About to reach Monument Valley, the duo is attacked again by [[Pork Pie Hat Kid]], one of [[Valentine's Subordinates]]. He captures Gyro and isolates Johnny in the open but Johnny's [[Stand]], [[Tusk]], appears to help his user escape the hooks once then tells him "Movere Crus", before disappearing. Johnny realizes the Steel Ball Run's true purpose. Johnny manages to reach Gyro and the Napolitan foils a last attempt by the enemy to take the Corpse Parts. Having seen his legs being influenced by Tusk, Johnny subsequently diverts his attention on the [[Saint's Corpse]] and convinces Gyro to help him.<br />
<br />
<!--T:42--><br />
During the final dash of the second stage between the top racers, [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] discovers the location of the next Corpse Part. He distracts [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] with it, leading to [[Diego Brando|Diego]] taking the 1st place, Johnny the 2nd place, [[Sandman]] the 3rd place, and Gyro the 4th. Gyro's angry, but the race immediately moves on to the third stage: 517&nbsp;km through the Rocky Mountains. Meanwhile, [[Lucy Steel]] discovers [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]]'s plot and sees the Heart in his possession.<br />
<br />
<!--T:43--><br />
Gyro and Johnny meet with [[Diego Brando|Diego]] who's acted strangely since an earlier fall. As night falls, they take shelter in a village. But soon, Diego transforms into a raptor and attacks Gyro and Johnny. His kinetic vision gives him an edge against Gyro and Johnny's projectile based attacks and they can only flee, only to discover the whole village has been transformed too. Diego's backstory is revealed: he once spent his youth working on a farm with his mother, but the bad treatment they received and his mother's death made Diego ambitious and resentful of humanity. His talent led him to search for glory in the Steel Ball Run. Gyro transforms himself into a dinosaur and Diego snatches the Eyes from them. Johnny is the only human to face [[Dr. Ferdinand]] who explains that his [[Scary Monsters]] was controlling every dinosaur so far. Unexpectedly, Johnny abandons his Left Arm and partially transforms to toss one of the Eyes at Gyro, who is then cured and acquires the new ability Scan. Dr. Ferdinand is incapacitated and then eaten by cougars. However, Diego escapes with the Left Eye and keeps his dinosaur abilities.<br />

They briefly fight over an allegedly stolen cow; Hot Pants revealing his "flesh spray" [[Cream Starter]] and Gyro managing to scan Hot Pants' back, seeing the word “Turbo” on his spine and leading Gyro and Johnny to locate the next Corpse's part in Kansas City. Johnny defuses the situation and the three eventually have a truce against a gunslinger named [[Ringo Roadagain]] who claims that they won't escape the forest without killing him. The trio confronts Ringo who reveals his [[Stand]] [[Mandom]], which rewinds time by six seconds when he winds up his wristwatch. A shootout ensues in which Johnny and Hot Pants are apparently fatally shot, leaving only Gyro alive. Ringo takes Johnny inside and spares the Napolitan but Gyro realizes that Johnny's wound isn't fatal.<br />
<br />
<!--T:54--><br />
Ringo Roadagain's story is revealed: he was once the sick youngest of an impoverished family. One night, his mother and sister were killed by a bandit and he saved himself by shooting the bandit. Ringo then became a gunslinger seeking challenges to "purify" himself. Finally, Funny Valentine employed him to retrieve the Corpse part from Johnny. Chasing away the last doubts within him, Gyro challenges Ringo again and uses Mandom to his advantage by going through a first loop then leads Ringo into a falling splinter of the roof that impales Roadagain. Acknowledging his defeat and Gyro's growth, Ringo honors him and is finished off. After his duel, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] heals [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Hot Pants]]. Johnny discovers that Ringo has sent a message to [[Valentine]] and also that Hot Pants is a woman, choosing to keep it secret. Near Kansas City, the duo crosses path with [[Pocoloco]] and [[Sandman]]. They exchange information, making Johnny realizes that Diego has found the location of the next Corpse Part.<br />
<br />
====Lucy Steel Gets Involved==== <!--T:55--><br />
[[File:Lucy presents spine.png|thumb|226x226px|Lucy Steel cooperates with Johnny & Gyro, giving them the Spine]]<br />
Meanwhile, witnessing Ringo's pigeon arriving on the roof, Lucy infiltrates a governmental building and steals the message it carries. Almost surprised by Valentine and his henchman [[Blackmore]], Lucy has no choice but to call [[Mountain Tim]] for help and they both escape incognito. Lucy then goes to retrieve the Spine at a local landmark known as the Green Tomb. However, Blackmore discovers Tim's involvement and kills him with his rain-controlling [[Catch the Rainbow]]. He then discovers that Lucy was the culprit and rushes toward her location as she uncovers the Spine. As Diego, Johnny and Gyro ride toward the Green Tomb, Lucy is discovered by Blackmore. He takes the Spine from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] but is distracted by [[Jesus]]-Christ; he is shot by Lucy who escapes with the Corpse Part. Exalted by the miracles around him, Blackmore seals his fatal wounds with raindrops and pursues Lucy. Meanwhile, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] are unable to get ahead of [[Diego Brando|Diego]]. In the tempest, they struggle to find the optimal path while Diego's enhanced senses help him. Nonetheless, Gyro's growth expresses itself when he manages to catch up to Diego. After a brief fight, Silver Bullet hurts its leg, throwing Diego out of the race.<br />
<br />
<!--T:56--><br />
The duo then meets Lucy and Blackmore almost at the same time and a fight ensues. Catch the Rainbow immobilizes Johnny and Gyro, but the latter manages to throw a Steel Ball on Blackmore by evaporating some raindrops. Blackmore dies from his wounds, and the Spine enters Johnny's body as the weather calms itself, and the next Corpse part's location reveals itself to the duo.<br />
<br />
<!--T:57--><br />
[[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] reach the finish line in Kansas City. Earlier, Johnny, Gyro, and [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] have seen the locations of the Ears, the Right Arm, and the Legs. The duo has also Lucy to steal the President's Heart, Gyro lending his Right Eye to enable this. In the present, Diego meets with Valentine's henchman. After Diego reveals that he knows about the traitor within Valentine's entourage, [[Valentine]] reluctantly cooperates with the British jockey.<br />
<br />
====The Golden Rectangle==== <!--T:58--><br />
Near the Mississippi, Gyro and Johnny are attacked by a combination of Diego's dinosaurs and a strange power which produces effects like cutting or burning whoever touched an affected object. The duo has to flee to the river. Johnny reminisces his sad youth, notably how he blames himself for his brother [[Nicholas Joestar|Nicholas']] death and how poorly his father treated him. Considering that the universe is making him pay for his assumed unwitting murder, Johnny loses hope as his Stand proves ineffectual.<br />
<br />
<!--T:59--><br />
An angry Gyro reminds him that Johnny isn't close to master the [[Spin]] and introduces the [[Golden Rectangle]], a ubiquitous proportion which is used to form a perfect and infinite rotation. However, Gyro refuses to say more. [[Sandman]] reveals himself as the enemy and inexorably corners the duo, even slicing Gyro's legs. On the brink of despair, Johnny realizes that the Golden Rectangle is present in the environment and upgrades [[Tusk]] to ACT2. An even shootout ensues, but Johnny surprises Sandman with a bullet made from Gyro's belt and kills the Indian. Suddenly, [[Hot Pants]] appears and knocks him out. She steals all the Corpse Parts save a fraction of the Spine.<br />

It was a detour that was our shortest path."[[File:TuskAct4color.png|thumb|left|300px|Tusk ACT 4]]It is explained Valentine was saved by a pure coincidence which made Gyro's rotation imperfect. Gyro expires and Valentine empties his revolver on his corpse then attacks Johnny. Johnny wastes all but one nail and is unhorsed but at the last moment understands Gyro's hint.

==Trivia== <!--T:113--><br />
* In order to research the American landscape, Araki knew he couldn't cross the United States in one journey and thus split his research trips into three. The first went from the West Coast to the deserts, the second was made from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago and the third to the finish line in New York. The trips were mostly done by car. In there, Araki was struck by the openness of the landscape and sensed that he "could never make an escape from an adversary" and that there was nowhere to hide. The emptiness of the landscape also inspired in him an impression of emptiness and lifelessness. Although Araki asked himself if there was any fun in living there at all, he also says that the atmosphere felt rich for suspense. Araki was able to put his experience to use when he drew the manga.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki's Manga Technique]], p.161</ref> <br />
[[File:SBR Chapter 25 Magazine Cover B.jpg|thumb|200px|"SBR - JJBA: Part 7 Chapter 1" in May 2005 Issue of Ultra Jump]]<br />
*During its initial serialization in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]], Steel Ball Run was categorized as a different series without the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' title. The change was a request from the editorial department in an attempt to attract reader attention by introducing a "new series."<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: [HISTORY] - P 153 - 154''</ref> This was undone when the series moved to [[Ultra Jump]] in 2005, specifically in the [[SBR Chapter 25|May 2005 issue]] where the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure name was re-added to the title and the chapter numbering was reset.<br />
**Araki has mentioned that, despite the name alternation, he wrote Steel Ball Run as the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from the start.<ref name="JOJOVELLER" /><ref>[[Author's Note (Steel Ball Run)|SBR Volume 1: Author's Note]]</ref><br />

[[File:SBR Chapter 3.png|thumb|261x261px|Gyro Zeppeli and Johnny Joestar, the main characters of the story.|alt=]]For keeping English literature, [[Sandman]] is forced to flee his tribe. He mysteriously outpaces his pursuers, who are on horseback, and escapes thanks to a [[Stand|mysterious power]]. Sandman meets his sister near a cliff whose wall is covered in mysterious spherical holes and shows her a newspaper headline regarding the imminent [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]].<br /><br />

[[Steven Steel]], promoter, holds a press conference to present the Steel Ball Run: a multi-staged horse race across America with a grand prize of $50,000,000. Various contestants are coming from all over the world: among the favorites is [[Mountain Tim]] the cowboy, [[Dot Han]] the Mongolian horseman, and the British jockey [[Diego Brando]]. However, even unknown people like the emancipated [[Pocoloco]] and Sandman are coming.<br />
[[File:XtC6I.png|left|thumb|175x175px|The Spin in action]]<br />
[[Gyro Zeppeli]] is introduced as he registers his entry. He challenges a thief in a duel and makes him shoot himself by throwing a [[Steel Ball]] at his opponent's shoulder. Interested, a bystander in a wheelchair touches the still spinning Steel Ball in its holster, and momentarily stands up. That man's name is [[Johnny Joestar]], a former genius jockey who became paraplegic after a petty fight, ruining his life.<br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
Amazed at the miracle of the Steel Balls, Johnny insists that the Italian reveals him their secret but Gyro refuses. Johnny buys a horse anyway and enters the race. As the race nears its beginning, Gyro, impressed that Johnny dares come to the starting line still dragged off by his horse, gives him a hint about spinning. Just as the race begins, Johnny manages to mount his horse.<br />

The Steel Ball Run begins. [[Steven Steel|Steven]] and special guest board a train to follow the first stage. As the racers begin to move, Steel explains that the race is divided into nine stages separated by checkpoint cities. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] quickly goes ahead of the racers and amazingly beats two of the favorites, [[Urmd Avdul]] and [[Diego Brando|Diego]], thanks to the power of his Steel Balls. He is then quickly challenged by [[Pocoloco]], encouraged by his [[Hey Ya!]] and emboldened by his uncanny luck. Gyro tries to stop him but only manage to slightly endanger [[Sandman]] as the Indian suddenly appears climbing down a cliff. Using a unique running technique, [[Sandman]] becomes the frontrunner but Gyro, Pocoloco, Johnny and Diego manage to catch up. The race in a mad dash where technique, luck and endurance sway the outcome for a bit just before Gyro turns his cape into a sail to catch the rear wind, Gyro inexorably seizes the first place.<br />

The first stage ended, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] suddenly receives a penalty due to having endangered [[Sandman]]'s life earlier in the race. He is relegated to the 21st place. After exacting a petty revenge by ruining [[Steven Steel|Steven]]'s party, Gyro accepts to have [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] follow him and teaches him a first lesson: what matters is the Steel Ball's [[Spin]] itself. Meanwhile, Steven and his wife [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] are brought to a murder scene, showing that contestants are murdering the competition. The local Sheriff calls the famous cowboy [[Mountain Tim]] to help who memorizes the horseshoes prints and also falls in love with Lucy.<br />
<br />
<!--T:30--><br />
The second stage of the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] begins, this time, the racers have to cross 1,200&nbsp;km of desert. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] immediately takes a dangerous shortcut and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] has no choice but to follow him. The duo is then attacked by fellow racer [[Mrs. Robinson]] who uses explosive cacti to harass them. Nonetheless, Gyro promptly defeats Robinson with the same chollas. After finding Mrs. Robinson's horse, [[Mountain Tim|Tim]] sees that the horseshoes don't match.<br />

Later, [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] make camp and Johnny makes some progress in the Spin. They are then attacked by [[Andre Boomboom|Andre]], [[Benjamin Boomboom|Benjamin]], and [[L.A. Boomboom|L.A.]] Boomboom, and Gyro realizes that his leg was magnetized by the Stand [[Tomb of the Boom 1 2 3]]. After a brief fight, Gyro and Johnny flee but are sprayed with Andre's blood. Benjamin disguises himself as Johnny Joestar, confronting [[Mountain Tim]] who reveals his Stand [[Oh! Lonesome Me]]. Benjamin successfully plants some of his blood on Tim and pushes him to think Johnny is the murderer. [[Mountain Tim]] catches up to [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]], and the three of them realize that they are affected by the magnetism. Tim presents his power he calls a [[Stand]], which he acquired by stepping into a [[Devil's Palm]], a moving phenomenon granting people Stands. [[Benjamin Boomboom]] uses his Stand to immobilize them and kill them. But Johnny then awakens his own Stand, [[Tusk]], as they were in the Devil's Palm without realizing it. Johnny kills Benjamin and incapacitates L.A., who reveals that they were hired to kill Gyro and is promptly left in the desert.<br />
<br />
<!--T:32--><br />
Under Johnny's persuasion, Gyro reveals his past. He is a citizen of the [[Kingdom of Naples]], who has learned the [[Spin]] from his father and has worked as an executioner. For his first execution, Gyro had to behead [[Marco]], a little boy condemned by mere association with a treasonous lord. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] objected at [[Marco]]'s execution and thus was proposed to participate to the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]], as winning could spur the King to proclaim a general amnesty, otherwise the prize money was enough to pay for Marco's appeal. Gyro accepted.<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />
Some time later, a terrorist from Naples named [[Oyecomova]] arrives at a relay village ready to kill Gyro as revenge against the kingdom. [[Mountain Tim]] confronts Oyecomova but is incapacitated by his Stand [[Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure]]'s explosive power. The fight becomes a race toward the [[Zombie Horse]], a healing item sent for Gyro. After a long pursuit up a river, a combination attack from [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and Gyro manages to take Oyecomova down, and the duo continues the race.<br />

<!--T:53--><br />
At 650&nbsp;km from Kansas City, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] meet [[Hot Pants]] in a forest. They briefly fight over an allegedly stolen cow; Hot Pants revealing his "flesh spray" [[Cream Starter]] and Gyro managing to scan Hot Pants' back, seeing the word “Turbo” on his spine and leading Gyro and Johnny to locate the next Corpse's part in Kansas City. Johnny defuses the situation and the three eventually have a truce against a gunslinger named [[Ringo Roadagain]] who claims that they won't escape the forest without killing him. The trio confronts Ringo who reveals his [[Stand]] [[Mandom]], which rewinds time by six seconds when he winds up his wristwatch. A shootout ensues in which Johnny and Hot Pants are apparently fatally shot, leaving only Gyro alive.

<br />
<!--T:54--><br />
Ringo Roadagain's story is revealed: he was once the sick youngest of an impoverished family. One night, his mother and sister were killed by a bandit and he saved himself by shooting the bandit. Ringo then became a gunslinger seeking challenges to "purify" himself. Finally, Funny Valentine employed him to retrieve the Corpse part from Johnny. Chasing away the last doubts within him, Gyro challenges Ringo again and uses Mandom to his advantage by going through a first loop then leads Ringo into a falling splinter of the roof while impales the gunslinger. Acknowledging his defeat and Gyro's growth, Ringo honors him and is finished off. After his duel, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] heals [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Hot Pants]].

Meanwhile, witnessing Ringo's pigeon arriving on the roof, Lucy infiltrates a governmental building and steals the message it carries. Almost surprised by Valentine and his henchman [[Blackmore]], Lucy has no choice but to call [[Mountain Tim]] for help and they both escape incognito. Lucy then goes to retrieve the Spine at a local landmark known as the Green Tomb. However, Blackmore discovers Tim's involvement and kills him with his rain-controlling [[Catch the Rainbow]]. He then discovers that Lucy was the culprit and rushes toward her location as she uncovers the Spine. As Diego, Johnny and Gyro ride toward the Green Tomb, Lucy is discovered by Blackmore. He takes the Spine from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] but is distracted by [[Jesus]]-Christ; he is shot by Lucy who escapes with the Corpse Part. Exalted by the miracles around him, Blackmore seals his fatal wounds with raindrops and pursues Lucy. Meanwhile, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] are unable to get ahead of [[Diego Brando|Diego]]. In the tempest, they struggle to find the optimal path while Diego's enhanced senses help him. Nonetheless, Gyro's growth expresses itself when he manages to catch up to Diego. After a brief fight, Silver Bullet hurts its leg, throwing Diego out of the race.<br />
<br />

Considering that the universe is making him pay for his assumed unwitting murder, Johnny loses hope as his Stand proves ineffectual.<br />
<br />
<!--T:59--><br />
An angry Gyro reminds him that Johnny isn't close to master the [[Spin]] and introduces the [[Golden Rectangle]], a ubiquitous proportion which is used to form a perfect and infinite rotation. However, Gyro refuses to say more. [[Sandman]] reveals himself as the enemy and inexorably corners the duo, even slicing Gyro's legs. On the brink of despair, Johnny realizes that the Golden Rectangle is present in the environment and upgrades [[Tusk]] to ACT2.

[[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] disappears on the ocean floor while [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] harnesses the Golden Spin with Valkyrie. Despite several decoys, Gyro strikes the real Valentine with the [[Steel Ball]] imbued with the [[Golden Spin]]. Gyro's new stand [[Ball Breaker]] passes through the wall with the [[Spin]] energy and induces senescence in Valentine's cells, while Gyro is shot in the stomach. Unexpectedly, Valentines survives. Out of options, Gyro passes on to Johnny a mysterious speech, his lesson n°5: "The shortest route was a detour. It was a detour that was our shortest path."[[File:TuskAct4color.png|thumb|left|300px|Tusk ACT 4]]It is explained Valentine was saved by a pure coincidence which made Gyro's rotation imperfect. Gyro expires and Valentine empties his revolver on his corpse then attacks Johnny. Johnny wastes all but one nail and is unhorsed but at the last moment understands Gyro's hint. Using the Steel Ball on Slow Dancer's leg, Johnny makes himself get kicked into the air in a Golden Scale leg movement and is imbued with the Golden Spin. [[Tusk]] ACT4 appears. <br />
Tusk ACT4 forces its way into the dimensional gap then pummels D4C with enough force to form a crater on the ground at the bottom of which Valentine escapes. The President soon discovers that the Golden Spin is following him no matter which dimension he flees to and despairs.<br />
<br />
<!--T:98--><br />
A flashback details a young Funny's meeting with his future father-in-law [[Captain Valentine]] and his lesson about patriotism. Given resolve by this memory, Valentine recomposes himself. The President reappears in the base world but admits his loss and proposes Johnny to bring back Gyro Zeppeli. The [[Saint's Corpse|Holy Corpse]] begins to extract itself from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]]. Meanwhile, [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] continues his parley, countering each of Johnny's arguments. At the end, the jockey is nearly convinced.<br />
<br />
<!--T:99--><br />
Johnny nonetheless throws the gun Valentine emptied earlier back at him, daring him to pick it up as a test. Valentine's plans are foiled. A final shootout ensues between the jockey and the President, which Johnny wins. Johnny witnesses a final apparition of [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]'s ghost and says his farewell. He then puts a final nail bullet in Valentine's head, killing him. Valentine's body is dragged underground by the Spin, and all traces of him disappears.<br />

[[File:Diego's World.png|thumb|An alternate Diego attacks Johnny]]<br />
After healing everyone, Johnny realizes that the Corpse has been stolen by a last unknown enemy, identified as at least a [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] contestant. Johnny pursues his final foe. Johnny catches up to the mysterious culprit, and confronts [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego Brando]], alive and well, now wielding a time-stopping Stand called [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|THE WORLD]]. [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] has convinced an alternate version to fulfill his goal in his place.<br />
<br />
<!--T:103--><br />
Both racers realize what the other is capable of and aim to devise a plan which will counter the other's power. As he begins the final stage Johnny meets with his father [[George Joestar I (Steel Ball Run)|George]], and they silently reconcile. The advantage switches between Diego and Johnny until Johnny joins the rest of the racers on the Brooklyn Bridge for one final attack. Both perform their plans but although [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|The World]]'s leg is hit by the rotation, the Stand cuts it and throws it at Johnny who's now imbued with the Golden Spin. Incapacitated, Johnny is powerless as Diego wins the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] and head to the safe in which the Holy Corpse will be put.<br />

* In order to research the American landscape, Araki knew he couldn't cross the United States in one journey and thus split his research trips into three. The first went from the West Coast to the deserts, the second was made from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago and the third to the finish line in New York. The trips were mostly done by car. In there, Araki was struck by the openness of the landscape and sensed that he "could never make an escape from an adversary" and that there was nowhere to hide. The emptiness of the landscape also inspired in him an impression of emptiness and lifelessness. Although Araki asked himself if there was any fun in living there at all, he also says that the atmosphere felt rich for suspense. Araki was able to put his experience to use when he drew the manga.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki's Manga Technique]], p.161</ref> <br />
[[File:SBR Chapter 25 Magazine Cover B.jpg|thumb|200px|"SBR - JJBA: Part 7 Chapter 1" in May 2005 Issue of Ultra Jump]]<br />
*During its initial serialization in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]], Steel Ball Run was categorized as a different series without the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' title. The change was a request from the editorial department in an attempt to attract reader attention by introducing a "new series."<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: [HISTORY] - P 153 - 154''</ref> This was undone when the series moved to [[Ultra Jump]] in 2005, specifically in the [[SBR Chapter 25|May 2005 issue]] where the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure name was re-added to the title and the chapter numbering was reset.<br />
**Araki has mentioned that, despite the name alternation, he wrote Steel Ball Run as the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from the start.<ref name="JOJOVELLER" /><ref>[[Author's Note (Steel Ball Run)|SBR Volume 1: Author's Note]]</ref><br />

After exacting a petty revenge by ruining [[Steven Steel|Steven]]'s party, Gyro accepts to have [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] follow him and teaches him a first lesson: what matters is the Steel Ball's [[Spin]] itself. Meanwhile, Steven and his wife [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] are brought to a murder scene, showing that contestants are murdering the competition. The local Sheriff calls the famous cowboy [[Mountain Tim]] to help who memorizes the horseshoes prints and also falls in love with Lucy.<br />
<br />
<!--T:30--><br />
The second stage of the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] begins, this time, the racers have to cross 1,200&nbsp;km of desert. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] immediately takes a dangerous shortcut and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] has no choice but to follow him.

Benjamin successfully plants some of his blood on Tim and pushes him to think Johnny is the murderer. [[Mountain Tim]] catches up to [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]], and the three of them realize that they are affected by the magnetism. Tim presents his power he calls a [[Stand]], which he acquired by stepping into a [[Devil's Palm]], a moving phenomenon granting people Stands. [[Benjamin Boomboom]] uses his Stand to immobilize them and kill them. But Johnny then awakens his own Stand, [[Tusk]], as they were in the Devil's Palm without realizing it. Johnny kills Benjamin and incapacitates L.A., who reveals that they were hired to kill Gyro and is promptly left in the desert.<br />
<br />
<!--T:32--><br />
Under Johnny's persuasion, Gyro reveals his past. He is a citizen of the [[Kingdom of Naples]], who has learned the [[Spin]] from his father and has worked as an executioner. For his first execution, Gyro had to behead [[Marco]], a little boy condemned by mere association with a treasonous lord. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] objected at [[Marco]]'s execution and thus was proposed to participate to the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]], as winning could spur the King to proclaim a general amnesty, otherwise the prize money was enough to pay for Marco's appeal. Gyro accepted.<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />
Some time later, a terrorist from Naples named [[Oyecomova]] arrives at a relay village ready to kill Gyro as revenge against the kingdom. [[Mountain Tim]] confronts Oyecomova but is incapacitated by his Stand [[Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure]]'s explosive power.

Almost surprised by Valentine and his henchman [[Blackmore]], Lucy has no choice but to call [[Mountain Tim]] for help and they both escape incognito. Lucy then goes to retrieve the Spine at a local landmark known as the Green Tomb. However, Blackmore discovers Tim's involvement and kills him with his rain-controlling [[Catch the Rainbow]]. He then discovers that Lucy was the culprit and rushes toward her location as she uncovers the Spine. As Diego, Johnny and Gyro ride toward the Green Tomb, Lucy is discovered by Blackmore. He takes the Spine from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] but is distracted by [[Jesus]]-Christ; he is shot by Lucy who escapes with the Corpse Part.

[[File:D4C First.png|left|thumb|400x400px|President Funny Valentine and D4C]]Near the Independence Hall, [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] spot [[Diego Brando|Diego]] and [[Wekapipo]]. While Gyro tries to sneak on Diego, Johnny is shot by an unknown party and barely escapes in the sewers with [[Tusk]] ACT3. Gyro notices Johnny's absence and tries to go help him. Another henchman named [[D-I-S-C-O]] confronts Gyro, who is at a disavantage as [[D-I-S-C-O]]'s [[Chocolate Disco]] allows him to teleport any object within a grid on the ground. Using different layers of air as a lens, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] manages to dispose of him. Still, Gyro has no idea of what happened, and the witnesses alternately point [[Diego Brando|Diego]], [[Wekapipo]] or [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] as the culprit. A flashback details the life of [[Jesus]] Christ after his crucifixion, resurrected under the care of Joseph of Arimathea, he drew the map for Joseph then traveled East until he died in America, his relics scattered across the continent.<br />
<br />
<!--T:89--><br />
A series of flashback finally reveal that Valentine's Stand, [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]] or D4C, can make parallel universes coexist in the same plane, explaining everyone's confusion during the last minutes. Valentine attacks Diego and Wekapipo and traps Diego in an alternate dimension through a flag. He steals the Left Eye and disappears but Diego then sacrifices Wekepipo to escape to the base world. Confident that the Corpse Parts are only found in his world, Diego continues his pursuit.<br />
<br />
<!--T:90--><br />
In the Independence Hall, a heavily pregnant [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] is contacted by a mysterious voice compelling her to get away. Due to a series of coincidences, her guards are all incapacitated or killed, allowing Lucy to escape with a wounded [[Steven Steel|Steven]]. Meanwhile, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] asks Johnny to abandon the chase for the [[Saint's Corpse|Corpse Parts]], considering that they've lost. However, Johnny stands up briefly, showing the evolution of his legs, and reaffirms his will to get hold of the Corpse. Gyro accepts to help him and reveals the last level of the [[Spin]], which can be used only by the most skilled horse riders, harnessing a power which can beat Valentine. Unable to locate the Corpse Parts, they resolve to chase Lucy's trail instead. For her part, Lucy has been guided to the river by the voice but realizes that Valentine had lured her to his ship.<br />

[[File:Valentine Powered.JPG|thumb|300x300px|Valentine and D4C - Love Train]][[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] is forced to embark with her husband. She and [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] are to go to the last "X" mark on Joseph of Arimathea's map. However, Diego and Hot Pants meet and agree to cooperate and follow a trail left by [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]], themselves followed by [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]. Diego and Hot Pants eventually catch up to Valentine who's boarded a train with Lucy. A vicious fight ensues as Diego and Hot Pants try multiple times to kill Valentine, culminating in Diego's death, cut in half by the train's wheels. Meanwhile, Gyro and Johnny notice that strange space distortions keep happening around them. In the train, Lucy Steel is turning into the Corpse itself. The space distortions also cause Hot Pants's death when debris converges into her heart. Having been observing the events, [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] uncovers the true nature of this power: there is a gap into space which only he can enter and manipulate.<br />
<br />
<!--T:94--><br />
Finally, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] catch up to the locomotive but Valentine has made it impossible to stop the train. Moreover, Valentine is invincible as "harm" itself is being redirected to random places in the world. Gyro throws a [[Steel Ball]], to seemingly no effect. The duo can only stop Valentine's wagon and retreat temporarily. It is then that Gyro exposes some hair attached to the Ball he's thrown. If they harness the rotational energy of their horses when they run according to the Golden Scale, Gyro and Johnny will reach Valentine. Both charge the wagon. The President defeats Johnny first and forces Gyro to waste a Steel Ball to save his partner. Fortunately, Steven Steel transports Lucy out of the wagon and entrusts her to Gyro, forcing Valentine to pursue them toward the Atlantic Ocean. Meanwhile, Johnny sees Valentine's ear stuck on the Steel Ball, and realizes that Valentine didn't notice his wound. Near the water, a wind gust does make Valentine realizes that he's missing his ear, and as Gyro rushes toward him, the President finally grasps the danger the Spin.<br />

[[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] disappears on the ocean floor while [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] harnesses the Golden Spin with Valkyrie. Despite several decoys, Gyro strikes the real Valentine with the [[Steel Ball]] imbued with the [[Golden Spin]]. Gyro's new stand [[Ball Breaker]] passes through the wall with the [[Spin]] energy and induces senescence in Valentine's cells, while Gyro is shot in the stomach. Unexpectedly, Valentines survives. Out of options, Gyro passes on to Johnny a mysterious speech, his lesson n°5: "The shortest route was a detour. It was a detour that was our shortest path."[[File:TuskAct4color.png|thumb|left|300px|Tusk ACT 4]]It is explained Valentine was saved by a pure coincidence which made Gyro's rotation imperfect. Gyro expires and Valentine empties his revolver on his corpse then attacks Johnny. Johnny wastes all but one nail and is unhorsed but at the last moment understands Gyro's hint. Using the Steel Ball on Slow Dancer's leg, Johnny makes himself get kicked into the air in a Golden Scale leg movement and is imbued with the Golden Spin. [[Tusk]] ACT4 appears. <br />
Tusk ACT4 forces its way into the dimensional gap then pummels D4C with enough force to form a crater on the ground at the bottom of which Valentine escapes. The President soon discovers that the Golden Spin is following him no matter which dimension he flees to and despairs.<br />
<br />
<!--T:98--><br />
A flashback details a young Funny's meeting with his future father-in-law [[Captain Valentine]] and his lesson about patriotism. Given resolve by this memory, Valentine recomposes himself. The President reappears in the base world but admits his loss and proposes Johnny to bring back Gyro Zeppeli. The [[Saint's Corpse|Holy Corpse]] begins to extract itself from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]]. Meanwhile, [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] continues his parley, countering each of Johnny's arguments. At the end, the jockey is nearly convinced.<br />
<br />
<!--T:99--><br />
Johnny nonetheless throws the gun Valentine emptied earlier back at him, daring him to pick it up as a test. Valentine's plans are foiled. A final shootout ensues between the jockey and the President, which Johnny wins. Johnny witnesses a final apparition of [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]'s ghost and says his farewell. He then puts a final nail bullet in Valentine's head, killing him. Valentine's body is dragged underground by the Spin, and all traces of him disappears.<br />

[[File:Diego's World.png|thumb|An alternate Diego attacks Johnny]]<br />
After healing everyone, Johnny realizes that the Corpse has been stolen by a last unknown enemy, identified as at least a [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] contestant. Johnny pursues his final foe. Johnny catches up to the mysterious culprit, and confronts [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego Brando]], alive and well, now wielding a time-stopping Stand called [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|THE WORLD]]. [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] has convinced an alternate version to fulfill his goal in his place.<br />
<br />
<!--T:103--><br />
Both racers realize what the other is capable of and aim to devise a plan which will counter the other's power. As he begins the final stage Johnny meets with his father [[George Joestar I (Steel Ball Run)|George]], and they silently reconcile. The advantage switches between Diego and Johnny until Johnny joins the rest of the racers on the Brooklyn Bridge for one final attack. Both perform their plans but although [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|The World]]'s leg is hit by the rotation, the Stand cuts it and throws it at Johnny who's now imbued with the Golden Spin. Incapacitated, Johnny is powerless as Diego wins the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] and head to the safe in which the Holy Corpse will be put.<br />

* In order to research the American landscape, Araki knew he couldn't cross the United States in one journey and thus split his research trips into three. The first went from the West Coast to the deserts, the second was made from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago and the third to the finish line in New York. The trips were mostly done by car. In there, Araki was struck by the openness of the landscape and sensed that he "could never make an escape from an adversary" and that there was nowhere to hide. The emptiness of the landscape also inspired in him an impression of emptiness and lifelessness. Although Araki asked himself if there was any fun in living there at all, he also says that the atmosphere felt rich for suspense. Araki was able to put his experience to use when he drew the manga.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki's Manga Technique]], p.161</ref> <br />

*During its initial serialization in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]], Steel Ball Run was categorized as a different series without the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' title. The change was a request from the editorial department in an attempt to attract reader attention by introducing a "new series."<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: [HISTORY] - P 153 - 154''</ref> This was undone when the series moved to [[Ultra Jump]] in 2005, specifically in the [[SBR Chapter 25|May 2005 issue]] where the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure name was re-added to the title and the chapter numbering was reset.<br />
**Araki has mentioned that, despite the name alternation, he wrote Steel Ball Run as the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from the start.<ref name="JOJOVELLER" /><ref>[[Author's Note (Steel Ball Run)|SBR Volume 1: Author's Note]]</ref><br />

[[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] objected at [[Marco]]'s execution and thus was proposed to participate to the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]], as winning could spur the King to proclaim a general amnesty, otherwise the prize money was enough to pay for Marco's appeal. Gyro accepted.<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />
Some time later, a terrorist from Naples named [[Oyecomova]] arrives at a relay village ready to kill Gyro as revenge against the kingdom. [[Mountain Tim]] confronts Oyecomova but is incapacitated by his Stand [[Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure]]'s explosive power.

Chasing away the last doubts within him, Gyro challenges Ringo again and uses Mandom to his advantage by going through a first loop then leads Ringo into a falling splinter of the roof while impales the gunslinger. Acknowledging his defeat and Gyro's growth, Ringo honors him and is finished off. After his duel, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] heals [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Hot Pants]].

Meanwhile, witnessing Ringo's pigeon arriving on the roof, Lucy infiltrates a governmental building and steals the message it carries. Almost surprised by Valentine and his henchman [[Blackmore]], Lucy has no choice but to call [[Mountain Tim]] for help and they both escape incognito. Lucy then goes to retrieve the Spine at a local landmark known as the Green Tomb. However, Blackmore discovers Tim's involvement and kills him with his rain-controlling [[Catch the Rainbow]]. He then discovers that Lucy was the culprit and rushes toward her location as she uncovers the Spine. As Diego, Johnny and Gyro ride toward the Green Tomb, Lucy is discovered by Blackmore. He takes the Spine from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] but is distracted by [[Jesus]]-Christ; he is shot by Lucy who escapes with the Corpse Part. Exalted by the miracles around him, Blackmore seals his fatal wounds with raindrops and pursues Lucy. Meanwhile, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] are unable to get ahead of [[Diego Brando|Diego]]. In the tempest, they struggle to find the optimal path while Diego's enhanced senses help him. Nonetheless, Gyro's growth expresses itself when he manages to catch up to Diego. After a brief fight, Silver Bullet hurts its leg, throwing Diego out of the race.<br />
<br />
<!--T:56--><br />

====The Golden Rectangle==== <!--T:58--><br />
Near the Mississippi, Gyro and Johnny are attacked by a combination of Diego's dinosaurs and a strange power which produces effects like cutting or burning whoever touched an affected object. The duo has to flee to the river. Johnny reminisces his sad youth, notably how he blames himself for his brother [[Nicholas Joestar|Nicholas']] death and how poorly his father treated him. Considering that the universe is making him pay for his assumed unwitting murder, Johnny loses hope as his Stand proves ineffectual.<br />
<br />
<!--T:59--><br />
An angry Gyro reminds him that Johnny isn't close to master the [[Spin]] and introduces the [[Golden Rectangle]], a ubiquitous proportion which is used to form a perfect and infinite rotation. However, Gyro refuses to say more. [[Sandman]] reveals himself as the enemy and inexorably corners the duo, even slicing Gyro's legs. On the brink of despair, Johnny realizes that the Golden Rectangle is present in the environment and upgrades [[Tusk]] to ACT2. An even shootout ensues, but Johnny surprises Sandman with a bullet made from Gyro's belt and kills the Indian. Suddenly, [[Hot Pants]] appears and knocks him out.

Gyro takes out Magent Magent but Wekapipo isolates the duo from the [[Golden Rectangle]] by destroying all possible inspirations including Gyro's hand and manages to uncover the Legs from the wolf. At a climactic exchange, Gyro uses snowflakes to recreate the Golden Spin and beats Wekapipo. However, he also reveals that Wekapipo's sister is being taken care of by the [[Zeppeli Family]] and enlists him to search for Lucy.<br />

It transitions into the last dash of the 6th stage, in which Johnny and Gyro are racing against [[Pocoloco]]. [[Hey Ya!]] guides him out of the way of a rift, but Gyro and Johnny cooperate to cross it directly with a makeshift steel rope made from a ball, effectively beating Pocoloco's luck.

Johnny is warned to purify himself with water to dissolve the membrane and manages to escape. Suddenly, Johnny witnesses [[Jesus]] telling "not to shoot if he doubts, then a new path will open to him". When Johnny goes back into the garbage dump, [[Axl RO]], an agent of Valentine, uses his [[Civil War]] to materialize objects of guilt including the specters of people. Johnny is attacked by his father and brother and the situation gets worse when he shoots Ax RO as the attack transfers' Axl RO's own objects of guilt to him. Nonetheless, he suddenly understands Jesus' hint and shoots himself. Gaining the ability to travel into the wormhole created by the spinning nails, Johnny gains the upper hand and grabs the Corpse from afar. He thus forces Axl RO to stab him and is then absolved of his sins. Suddenly, Axl RO is shot in the chest and [[Funny Valentine]] reveals himself. The President seizes the nearly all the Corpse Parts and departs before Johnny can attack.<br />

While Gyro tries to sneak on Diego, Johnny is shot by an unknown party and barely escapes in the sewers with [[Tusk]] ACT3. Gyro notices Johnny's absence and tries to go help him. Another henchman named [[D-I-S-C-O]] confronts Gyro, who is at a disavantage as [[D-I-S-C-O]]'s [[Chocolate Disco]] allows him to teleport any object within a grid on the ground. Using different layers of air as a lens, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] manages to dispose of him. Still, Gyro has no idea of what happened, and the witnesses alternately point [[Diego Brando|Diego]], [[Wekapipo]] or [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] as the culprit.

Meanwhile, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] asks Johnny to abandon the chase for the [[Saint's Corpse|Corpse Parts]], considering that they've lost. However, Johnny stands up briefly, showing the evolution of his legs, and reaffirms his will to get hold of the Corpse. Gyro accepts to help him and reveals the last level of the [[Spin]], which can be used only by the most skilled horse riders, harnessing a power which can beat Valentine. Unable to locate the Corpse Parts, they resolve to chase Lucy's trail instead.

However, Diego and Hot Pants meet and agree to cooperate and follow a trail left by [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]], themselves followed by [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]. Diego and Hot Pants eventually catch up to Valentine who's boarded a train with Lucy. A vicious fight ensues as Diego and Hot Pants try multiple times to kill Valentine, culminating in Diego's death, cut in half by the train's wheels. Meanwhile, Gyro and Johnny notice that strange space distortions keep happening around them. In the train, Lucy Steel is turning into the Corpse itself. The space distortions also cause Hot Pants's death when debris converges into her heart. Having been observing the events, [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] uncovers the true nature of this power: there is a gap into space which only he can enter and manipulate.<br />

Finally, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] catch up to the locomotive but Valentine has made it impossible to stop the train. Moreover, Valentine is invincible as "harm" itself is being redirected to random places in the world. Gyro throws a [[Steel Ball]], to seemingly no effect. The duo can only stop Valentine's wagon and retreat temporarily. It is then that Gyro exposes some hair attached to the Ball he's thrown. If they harness the rotational energy of their horses when they run according to the Golden Scale, Gyro and Johnny will reach Valentine. Both charge the wagon. The President defeats Johnny first and forces Gyro to waste a Steel Ball to save his partner. Fortunately, Steven Steel transports Lucy out of the wagon and entrusts her to Gyro, forcing Valentine to pursue them toward the Atlantic Ocean. Meanwhile, Johnny sees Valentine's ear stuck on the Steel Ball, and realizes that Valentine didn't notice his wound. Near the water, a wind gust does make Valentine realizes that he's missing his ear, and as Gyro rushes toward him, the President finally grasps the danger the Spin.<br />

[[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] disappears on the ocean floor while [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] harnesses the Golden Spin with Valkyrie. Despite several decoys, Gyro strikes the real Valentine with the [[Steel Ball]] imbued with the [[Golden Spin]]. Gyro's new stand [[Ball Breaker]] passes through the wall with the [[Spin]] energy and induces senescence in Valentine's cells, while Gyro is shot in the stomach. Unexpectedly, Valentines survives. Out of options, Gyro passes on to Johnny a mysterious speech, his lesson n°5: "The shortest route was a detour. It was a detour that was our shortest path."[[File:TuskAct4color.png|thumb|left|300px|Tusk ACT 4]]It is explained Valentine was saved by a pure coincidence which made Gyro's rotation imperfect. Gyro expires and Valentine empties his revolver on his corpse then attacks Johnny. Johnny wastes all but one nail and is unhorsed but at the last moment understands Gyro's hint. Using the Steel Ball on Slow Dancer's leg, Johnny makes himself get kicked into the air in a Golden Scale leg movement and is imbued with the Golden Spin. [[Tusk]] ACT4 appears. <br />
Tusk ACT4 forces its way into the dimensional gap then pummels D4C with enough force to form a crater on the ground at the bottom of which Valentine escapes. The President soon discovers that the Golden Spin is following him no matter which dimension he flees to and despairs.<br />

Johnny nonetheless throws the gun Valentine emptied earlier back at him, daring him to pick it up as a test. Valentine's plans are foiled. A final shootout ensues between the jockey and the President, which Johnny wins. Johnny witnesses a final apparition of [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]'s ghost and says his farewell. He then puts a final nail bullet in Valentine's head, killing him. Valentine's body is dragged underground by the Spin, and all traces of him disappears.<br />

The advantage switches between Diego and Johnny until Johnny joins the rest of the racers on the Brooklyn Bridge for one final attack. Both perform their plans but although [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|The World]]'s leg is hit by the rotation, the Stand cuts it and throws it at Johnny who's now imbued with the Golden Spin.

==Trivia== <!--T:113--><br />
* In order to research the American landscape, Araki knew he couldn't cross the United States in one journey and thus split his research trips into three. The first went from the West Coast to the deserts, the second was made from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago and the third to the finish line in New York. The trips were mostly done by car. In there, Araki was struck by the openness of the landscape and sensed that he "could never make an escape from an adversary" and that there was nowhere to hide. The emptiness of the landscape also inspired in him an impression of emptiness and lifelessness. Although Araki asked himself if there was any fun in living there at all, he also says that the atmosphere felt rich for suspense. Araki was able to put his experience to use when he drew the manga.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki's Manga Technique]], p.161</ref> <br />

*During its initial serialization in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]], Steel Ball Run was categorized as a different series without the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' title. The change was a request from the editorial department in an attempt to attract reader attention by introducing a "new series."<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: [HISTORY] - P 153 - 154''</ref> This was undone when the series moved to [[Ultra Jump]] in 2005, specifically in the [[SBR Chapter 25|May 2005 issue]] where the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure name was re-added to the title and the chapter numbering was reset.<br />
**Araki has mentioned that, despite the name alternation, he wrote Steel Ball Run as the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from the start.<ref name="JOJOVELLER" /><ref>[[Author's Note (Steel Ball Run)|SBR Volume 1: Author's Note]]</ref><br />

[[Gyro Zeppeli]] is introduced as he registers his entry. He challenges a thief in a duel and makes him shoot himself by throwing a [[Steel Ball]] at his opponent's shoulder.

Amazed at the miracle of the Steel Balls, Johnny insists that the Italian reveals him their secret but Gyro refuses. Johnny buys a horse anyway and enters the race.

After exacting a petty revenge by ruining [[Steven Steel|Steven]]'s party, Gyro accepts to have [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] follow him and teaches him a first lesson: what matters is the Steel Ball's [[Spin]] itself.

Tim presents his power he calls a [[Stand]], which he acquired by stepping into a [[Devil's Palm]], a moving phenomenon granting people Stands.

At Johnny's insistence, since Gyro reveals his past. He is a citizen of the [[Kingdom of Naples]], who has learned the [[Spin]] from his father and has worked as an executioner. For his first execution, Gyro had to behead [[Marco]], a little boy condemned by mere association with a treasonous lord. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] objected at [[Marco]]'s execution and thus was proposed to participate to the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]], as winning could spur the King to proclaim a general amnesty, otherwise the prize money was enough to pay for Marco's appeal. Gyro accepted.<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />
Some time later, a terrorist from Naples named [[Oyecomova]] arrives at a relay village ready to kill Gyro as revenge against the kingdom. [[Mountain Tim]] confronts Oyecomova but is incapacitated by his Stand [[Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure]]'s explosive power. The fight becomes a race toward the [[Zombie Horse]], a healing item sent for Gyro. After a long pursuit up a river, a combination attack from [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and Gyro manages to take Oyecomova down, and the duo continues the race.<br />

Diego's backstory is revealed: he once spent his youth working on a farm with his mother, but the bad treatment they received and his mother's death made Diego ambitious and resentful of humanity. His talent led him to search for glory in the Steel Ball Run. Gyro transforms himself into a dinosaur and Diego snatches the Eyes from them.

The trio confronts Ringo who reveals his [[Stand]] [[Mandom]], which rewinds time by six seconds when he winds up his wristwatch.

Lucy then goes to retrieve the Spine at a local landmark known as the Green Tomb. However, Blackmore discovers Tim's involvement and kills him with his rain-controlling [[Catch the Rainbow]]. He then discovers that Lucy was the culprit and rushes toward her location as she uncovers the Spine. As Diego, Johnny and Gyro ride toward the Green Tomb, Lucy is discovered by Blackmore. He takes the Spine from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] but is distracted by [[Jesus]]-Christ; he is shot by Lucy who escapes with the Corpse Part. Exalted by the miracles around him, Blackmore seals his fatal wounds with raindrops and pursues Lucy. Meanwhile, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] are unable to get ahead of [[Diego Brando|Diego]]. In the tempest, they struggle to find the optimal path while Diego's enhanced senses help him. Nonetheless, Gyro's growth expresses itself when he manages to catch up to Diego. After a brief fight, Silver Bullet hurts its leg, throwing Diego out of the race.<br />
<br />
<!--T:56--><br />
The duo then meets Lucy and Blackmore almost at the same time and a fight ensues. Catch the Rainbow immobilizes Johnny and Gyro, but the latter manages to throw a Steel Ball on Blackmore by evaporating some raindrops. Blackmore dies from his wounds, and the Spine enters Johnny's body as the weather calms itself, and the next Corpse part's location reveals itself to the duo.<br />

====The Golden Rectangle==== <!--T:58--><br />
Near the Mississippi, Gyro and Johnny are attacked by a combination of Diego's dinosaurs and a strange power which produces effects like cutting or burning whoever touched an affected object. The duo has to flee to the river. Johnny reminisces his sad youth, notably how he blames himself for his brother [[Nicholas Joestar|Nicholas']] death and how poorly his father treated him. Considering that the universe is making him pay for his assumed unwitting murder, Johnny loses hope as his Stand proves ineffectual.<br />
<br />
<!--T:59--><br />
An angry Gyro reminds him that Johnny isn't close to master the [[Spin]] and introduces the [[Golden Rectangle]], a ubiquitous proportion which is used to form a perfect and infinite rotation. However, Gyro refuses to say more. [[Sandman]] reveals himself as the enemy and inexorably corners the duo, even slicing Gyro's legs. On the brink of despair, Johnny realizes that the Golden Rectangle is present in the environment and upgrades [[Tusk]] to ACT2. An even shootout ensues, but Johnny surprises Sandman with a bullet made from Gyro's belt and kills the Indian. Suddenly, [[Hot Pants]] appears and knocks him out. She steals all the Corpse Parts save a fraction of the Spine.<br />

Finally, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] catch up to the locomotive but Valentine has made it impossible to stop the train. Moreover, Valentine is invincible as "harm" itself is being redirected to random places in the world. Gyro throws a [[Steel Ball]], to seemingly no effect. The duo can only stop Valentine's wagon and retreat temporarily. It is then that Gyro exposes some hair attached to the Ball he's thrown. If they harness the rotational energy of their horses when they run according to the Golden Scale, Gyro and Johnny will reach Valentine. Both charge the wagon. The President defeats Johnny first and forces Gyro to waste a Steel Ball to save his partner. Fortunately, Steven Steel transports Lucy out of the wagon and entrusts her to Gyro, forcing Valentine to pursue them toward the Atlantic Ocean.

Out of options, Gyro passes on to Johnny a mysterious speech, his lesson n°5: "The shortest route was a detour. It was a detour that was our shortest path."[[File:TuskAct4color.png|thumb|left|300px|Tusk ACT 4]]It is explained Valentine was saved by a pure coincidence which made Gyro's rotation imperfect. Gyro expires and Valentine empties his revolver on his corpse then attacks Johnny. Johnny wastes all but one nail and is unhorsed but at the last moment understands Gyro's hint. Using the Steel Ball on Slow Dancer's leg, Johnny makes himself get kicked into the air in a Golden Scale leg movement and is imbued with the Golden Spin. [[Tusk]] ACT4 appears. <br />

==Trivia== <!--T:113--><br />
* In order to research the American landscape, Araki knew he couldn't cross the United States in one journey and thus split his research trips into three. The first went from the West Coast to the deserts, the second was made from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago and the third to the finish line in New York. The trips were mostly done by car. In there, Araki was struck by the openness of the landscape and sensed that he "could never make an escape from an adversary" and that there was nowhere to hide. The emptiness of the landscape also inspired in him an impression of emptiness and lifelessness. Although Araki asked himself if there was any fun in living there at all, he also says that the atmosphere felt rich for suspense. Araki was able to put his experience to use when he drew the manga.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki's Manga Technique]], p.161</ref> <br />
[[File:SBR Chapter 25 Magazine Cover B.jpg|thumb|200px|"SBR - JJBA: Part 7 Chapter 1" in May 2005 Issue of Ultra Jump]]<br />
*During its initial serialization in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]], Steel Ball Run was categorized as a different series without the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' title. The change was a request from the editorial department in an attempt to attract reader attention by introducing a "new series."<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: [HISTORY] - P 153 - 154''</ref> This was undone when the series moved to [[Ultra Jump]] in 2005, specifically in the [[SBR Chapter 25|May 2005 issue]] where the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure name was re-added to the title and the chapter numbering was reset.<br />
**Araki has mentioned that, despite the name alternation, he wrote Steel Ball Run as the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from the start.<ref name="JOJOVELLER" /><ref>[[Author's Note (Steel Ball Run)|SBR Volume 1: Author's Note]]</ref><br />

[[Steven Steel]], promoter, holds a press conference to present the Steel Ball Run: a multi-staged horse race across America with a grand prize of $50,000,000. Various contestants are coming from all over the world: among the favorites is [[Mountain Tim]] the cowboy, [[Dot Han]] the Mongolian horseman, and the British jockey [[Diego Brando]]. However, even unknown people like the emancipated [[Pocoloco]] and Sandman are coming.<br />
[[File:XtC6I.png|left|thumb|175x175px|The Spin in action]]<br />
[[Gyro Zeppeli]] is introduced as he registers his entry. He challenges a thief in a duel and makes him shoot himself by throwing a [[Steel Ball]] at his opponent's shoulder. Interested, a bystander in a wheelchair touches the still spinning Steel Ball in its holster, and momentarily stands up. That man's name is [[Johnny Joestar]], a former genius jockey who became paraplegic after a petty fight, ruining his life.<br />
<br />

Amazed at the miracle of the Steel Balls, Johnny insists that the Italian reveals him their secret but Gyro refuses. Johnny buys a horse anyway and enters the race. As the race nears its beginning, Gyro, impressed that Johnny dares come to the starting line still dragged off by his horse, gives him a hint about spinning. Just as the race begins, Johnny manages to mount his horse.<br />

The Steel Ball Run begins. [[Steven Steel|Steven]] and special guest board a train to follow the first stage. As the racers begin to move, Steel explains that the race is divided into nine stages separated by checkpoint cities. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] quickly goes ahead of the racers and amazingly beats two of the favorites, [[Urmd Avdul]] and [[Diego Brando|Diego]], thanks to the power of his Steel Balls. He is then quickly challenged by [[Pocoloco]], encouraged by his [[Hey Ya!]] and emboldened by his uncanny luck. Gyro tries to stop him but only manage to slightly endanger [[Sandman]] as the Indian suddenly appears climbing down a cliff. Using a unique running technique, [[Sandman]] becomes the frontrunner but Gyro, Pocoloco, Johnny and Diego manage to catch up. The race in a mad dash where technique, luck and endurance sway the outcome for a bit just before Gyro turns his cape into a sail to catch the rear wind, Gyro inexorably seizes the first place.<br />

[[Steven Steel]]'s colorful past is explored. It is revealed that the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]] was first imagined by [[Lucy Steel]], then a young girl who suggested the idea to a down-on-his-time Steven.

Grateful for Lucy, and realizing she looked like his first love, he subsequently married her.<br />

The first stage ended, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] suddenly receives a penalty due to having endangered [[Sandman]]'s life earlier in the race. He is relegated to the 21st place. After exacting a petty revenge by ruining [[Steven Steel|Steven]]'s party, Gyro accepts to have [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] follow him and teaches him a first lesson: what matters is the Steel Ball's [[Spin]] itself. Meanwhile, Steven and his wife [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] are brought to a murder scene, showing that contestants are murdering the competition. The local Sheriff calls the famous cowboy [[Mountain Tim]] to help who memorizes the horseshoes prints and also falls in love with Lucy.<br />
<br />
<!--T:30--><br />
The second stage of the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] begins, this time, the racers have to cross 1,200&nbsp;km of desert. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] immediately takes a dangerous shortcut and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] has no choice but to follow him. The duo is then attacked by fellow racer [[Mrs. Robinson]] who uses explosive cacti to harass them. Nonetheless, Gyro promptly defeats Robinson with the same chollas. After finding Mrs. Robinson's horse, [[Mountain Tim|Tim]] sees that the horseshoes don't match.<br />
<br />
<!--T:31--><br />
Later, [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] make camp and Johnny makes some progress in the Spin. They are then attacked by [[Andre Boomboom|Andre]] [[Benjamin Boomboom|Benjamin]] and [[L.A. Boomboom|L.A.]] Boomboom, and Gyro realizes that his leg was magnetized by the Stand [[Tomb of the Boom 1 2 3]]. After a brief fight, Gyro and Johnny flee but are sprayed with Andre's blood. Benjamin disguises himself as Johnny Joestar, confronting [[Mountain Tim]] who reveals his Stand [[Oh! Lonesome Me]]. Benjamin successfully plants some of his blood on Tim and pushes him to think Johnny is the murderer. [[Mountain Tim]] catches up to [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]], and the three of them realize that they are affected by the magnetism. Tim presents his power he calls a [[Stand]], which he acquired by stepping into a [[Devil's Palm]], a moving phenomenon granting people Stands. [[Benjamin Boomboom]] uses his Stand to immobilize them and kill them. But Johnny then awakens his own Stand, [[Tusk]], as they were in the Devil's Palm without realizing it. Johnny kills Benjamin and incapacitates L.A., who reveals that they were hired to kill Gyro and is promptly left in the desert.<br />
<br />
<!--T:32--><br />
At Johnny's insistence, since Gyro reveals his past. He is a citizen of the [[Kingdom of Naples]], who has learned the [[Spin]] from his father and has worked as an executioner. For his first execution, Gyro had to behead [[Marco]], a little boy condemned by mere association with a treasonous lord. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] objected at [[Marco]]'s execution and thus was proposed to participate to the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]], as winning could spur the King to proclaim a general amnesty, otherwise the prize money was enough to pay for Marco's appeal. Gyro accepted.<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />
Some time later, a terrorist from Naples named [[Oyecomova]] arrives at a relay village ready to kill Gyro as revenge against the kingdom. [[Mountain Tim]] confronts Oyecomova but is incapacitated by his Stand [[Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure]]'s explosive power. The fight becomes a race toward the [[Zombie Horse]], a healing item sent for Gyro. After a long pursuit up a river, a combination attack from [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and Gyro manages to take Oyecomova down, and the duo continues the race.<br />

The exact circumstances leading [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] to want to appeal to [[Marco]]'s execution are unveiled. After a prisoner revolts and Gyro was forced to restrain her, Marco took his pouch and tried to fix it, at the other executioner's anger but Gyro realized that Marco didn't deserve his sentence, leading him to him participating in the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]].<br />

Johnny realizes the Steel Ball Run's true purpose. Johnny manages to reach Gyro and the Napolitan foils a last attempt by the enemy to take the Corpse Parts.

At 650&nbsp;km from Kansas City, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] meet [[Hot Pants]] in a forest. They briefly fight over an allegedly stolen cow; Hot Pants revealing his "flesh spray" [[Cream Starter]] and Gyro managing to scan Hot Pants' back, seeing the word “Turbo” on his spine and leading Gyro and Johnny to locate the next Corpse's part in Kansas City. Johnny defuses the situation and the three eventually have a truce against a gunslinger named [[Ringo Roadagain]] who claims that they won't escape the forest without killing him. The trio confronts Ringo who reveals his [[Stand]] [[Mandom]], which rewinds time by six seconds when he winds up his wristwatch. A shootout ensues in which Johnny and Hot Pants are apparently fatally shot, leaving only Gyro alive. Ringo takes Johnny inside and spares the Napolitan but Gyro realizes that Johnny's wound isn't fatal.<br />
<br />
<!--T:54--><br />
Ringo Roadagain's story is revealed: he was once the sick youngest of an impoverished family. One night, his mother and sister were killed by a bandit and he saved himself by shooting the bandit. Ringo then became a gunslinger seeking challenges to "purify" himself. Finally, Funny Valentine employed him to retrieve the Corpse part from Johnny. Chasing away the last doubts within him, Gyro challenges Ringo again and uses Mandom to his advantage by going through a first loop then leads Ringo into a falling splinter of the roof while impales the gunslinger. Acknowledging his defeat and Gyro's growth, Ringo honors him and is finished off. After his duel, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] heals [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Hot Pants]].

Meanwhile, witnessing Ringo's pigeon arriving on the roof, Lucy infiltrates a governmental building and steals the message it carries. Almost surprised by Valentine and his henchman [[Blackmore]], Lucy has no choice but to call [[Mountain Tim]] for help and they both escape incognito. Lucy then goes to retrieve the Spine at a local landmark known as the Green Tomb. However, Blackmore discovers Tim's involvement and kills him with his rain-controlling [[Catch the Rainbow]]. He then discovers that Lucy was the culprit and rushes toward her location as she uncovers the Spine. As Diego, Johnny and Gyro ride toward the Green Tomb, Lucy is discovered by Blackmore. He takes the Spine from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] but is distracted by [[Jesus]]-Christ; he is shot by Lucy who escapes with the Corpse Part. Exalted by the miracles around him, Blackmore seals his fatal wounds with raindrops and pursues Lucy. Meanwhile, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] are unable to get ahead of [[Diego Brando|Diego]]. In the tempest, they struggle to find the optimal path while Diego's enhanced senses help him. Nonetheless, Gyro's growth expresses itself when he manages to catch up to Diego. After a brief fight, Silver Bullet hurts its leg, throwing Diego out of the race.<br />
<br />
<!--T:56--><br />
The duo then meets Lucy and Blackmore almost at the same time and a fight ensues. Catch the Rainbow immobilizes Johnny and Gyro, but the latter manages to throw a Steel Ball on Blackmore by evaporating some raindrops.

Near the Mississippi, Gyro and Johnny are attacked by a combination of Diego's dinosaurs and a strange power which produces effects like cutting or burning whoever touched an affected object. The duo has to flee to the river. Johnny reminisces his sad youth, notably how he blames himself for his brother [[Nicholas Joestar|Nicholas']] death and how poorly his father treated him. Considering that the universe is making him pay for his assumed unwitting murder, Johnny loses hope as his Stand proves ineffectual.<br />
<br />
<!--T:59--><br />
An angry Gyro reminds him that Johnny isn't close to master the [[Spin]] and introduces the [[Golden Rectangle]], a ubiquitous proportion which is used to form a perfect and infinite rotation. However, Gyro refuses to say more. [[Sandman]] reveals himself as the enemy and inexorably corners the duo, even slicing Gyro's legs. On the brink of despair, Johnny realizes that the Golden Rectangle is present in the environment and upgrades [[Tusk]] to ACT2.

==Trivia== <!--T:113--><br />
* In order to research the American landscape, Araki knew he couldn't cross the United States in one journey and thus split his research trips into three. The first went from the West Coast to the deserts, the second was made from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago and the third to the finish line in New York. The trips were mostly done by car. In there, Araki was struck by the openness of the landscape and sensed that he "could never make an escape from an adversary" and that there was nowhere to hide. The emptiness of the landscape also inspired in him an impression of emptiness and lifelessness. Although Araki asked himself if there was any fun in living there at all, he also says that the atmosphere felt rich for suspense. Araki was able to put his experience to use when he drew the manga.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki's Manga Technique]], p.161</ref> <br />
[[File:SBR Chapter 25 Magazine Cover B.jpg|thumb|200px|"SBR - JJBA: Part 7 Chapter 1" in May 2005 Issue of Ultra Jump]]<br />
*During its initial serialization in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]], Steel Ball Run was categorized as a different series without the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' title. The change was a request from the editorial department in an attempt to attract reader attention by introducing a "new series."<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: [HISTORY] - P 153 - 154''</ref> This was undone when the series moved to [[Ultra Jump]] in 2005, specifically in the [[SBR Chapter 25|May 2005 issue]] where the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure name was re-added to the title and the chapter numbering was reset.<br />
**Araki has mentioned that, despite the name alternation, he wrote Steel Ball Run as the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from the start.<ref name="JOJOVELLER" /><ref>[[Author's Note (Steel Ball Run)|SBR Volume 1: Author's Note]]</ref><br />

[[File:SBR Chapter 3.png|thumb|261x261px|Gyro Zeppeli and Johnny Joestar, the main characters of the story.|alt=]]For keeping English literature, [[Sandman]] is forced to flee his tribe. He mysteriously outpaces his pursuers, who are on horseback, and escapes thanks to a [[Stand|mysterious power]]. Sandman meets his sister near a cliff whose wall is covered in mysterious spherical holes and shows her a newspaper headline regarding the imminent [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]].<br /><br />

[[Steven Steel]], promoter, holds a press conference to present the Steel Ball Run: a multi-staged horse race across America with a grand prize of $50,000,000. Various contestants are coming from all over the world: among the favorites is [[Mountain Tim]] the cowboy, [[Dot Han]] the Mongolian horseman, and the British jockey [[Diego Brando]]. However, even unknown people like the emancipated [[Pocoloco]] and Sandman are coming.<br />
[[File:XtC6I.png|left|thumb|175x175px|The Spin in action]]<br />
[[Gyro Zeppeli]] is introduced as he registers his entry. He challenges a thief in a duel and makes him shoot himself by throwing a [[Steel Ball]] at his opponent's shoulder. Interested, a bystander in a wheelchair touches the still spinning Steel Ball in its holster, and momentarily stands up. That man's name is [[Johnny Joestar]], a former genius jockey who became paraplegic after a petty fight, ruining his life.<br />
<br />
<!--T:10--><br />
Amazed at the miracle of the Steel Balls, Johnny insists that the Italian reveals him their secret but Gyro refuses. Johnny buys a horse anyway and enters the race. As the race nears its beginning, Gyro, impressed that Johnny dares come to the starting line still dragged off by his horse, gives him a hint about spinning. Just as the race begins, Johnny manages to mount his horse.<br />

The Steel Ball Run begins. [[Steven Steel|Steven]] and special guest board a train to follow the first stage. As the racers begin to move, Steel explains that the race is divided into nine stages separated by checkpoint cities. [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] quickly goes ahead of the racers and amazingly beats two of the favorites, [[Urmd Avdul]] and [[Diego Brando|Diego]], thanks to the power of his Steel Balls. He is then quickly challenged by [[Pocoloco]], encouraged by his [[Hey Ya!]] and emboldened by his uncanny luck. Gyro tries to stop him but only manage to slightly endanger [[Sandman]] as the Indian suddenly appears climbing down a cliff. Using a unique running technique, [[Sandman]] becomes the frontrunner but Gyro, Pocoloco, Johnny and Diego manage to catch up. The race in a mad dash where technique, luck and endurance sway the outcome for a bit just before Gyro turns his cape into a sail to catch the rear wind, Gyro inexorably seizes the first place.<br />

[[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] objected at [[Marco]]'s execution and thus was proposed to participate to the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]], as winning could spur the King to proclaim a general amnesty, otherwise the prize money was enough to pay for Marco's appeal. Gyro accepted.<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />

Lucy then goes to retrieve the Spine at a local landmark known as the Green Tomb. However, Blackmore discovers Tim's involvement and kills him with his rain-controlling [[Catch the Rainbow]]. He then discovers that Lucy was the culprit and rushes toward her location as she uncovers the Spine. As Diego, Johnny and Gyro ride toward the Green Tomb, Lucy is discovered by Blackmore. He takes the Spine from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] but is distracted by [[Jesus]]-Christ; he is shot by Lucy who escapes with the Corpse Part.

[[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] disappears on the ocean floor while [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] harnesses the Golden Spin with Valkyrie. Despite several decoys, Gyro strikes the real Valentine with the [[Steel Ball]] imbued with the [[Golden Spin]]. Gyro's new stand [[Ball Breaker]] passes through the wall with the [[Spin]] energy and induces senescence in Valentine's cells, while Gyro is shot in the stomach. Unexpectedly, Valentines survives. Out of options, Gyro passes on to Johnny a mysterious speech, his lesson n°5: "The shortest route was a detour. It was a detour that was our shortest path."[[File:TuskAct4color.png|thumb|left|300px|Tusk ACT 4]]It is explained Valentine was saved by a pure coincidence which made Gyro's rotation imperfect. Gyro expires and Valentine empties his revolver on his corpse then attacks Johnny. Johnny wastes all but one nail and is unhorsed but at the last moment understands Gyro's hint. Using the Steel Ball on Slow Dancer's leg, Johnny makes himself get kicked into the air in a Golden Scale leg movement and is imbued with the Golden Spin. [[Tusk]] ACT4 appears. <br />
Tusk ACT4 forces its way into the dimensional gap then pummels D4C with enough force to form a crater on the ground at the bottom of which Valentine escapes. The President soon discovers that the Golden Spin is following him no matter which dimension he flees to and despairs.<br />
<br />
<!--T:98--><br />
A flashback details a young Funny's meeting with his future father-in-law [[Captain Valentine]] and his lesson about patriotism. Given resolve by this memory, Valentine recomposes himself. The President reappears in the base world but admits his loss and proposes Johnny to bring back Gyro Zeppeli. The [[Saint's Corpse|Holy Corpse]] begins to extract itself from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]]. Meanwhile, [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] continues his parley, countering each of Johnny's arguments. At the end, the jockey is nearly convinced.<br />
<br />
<!--T:99--><br />
Johnny nonetheless throws the gun Valentine emptied earlier back at him, daring him to pick it up as a test. Valentine's plans are foiled. A final shootout ensues between the jockey and the President, which Johnny wins. Johnny witnesses a final apparition of [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]'s ghost and says his farewell. He then puts a final nail bullet in Valentine's head, killing him. Valentine's body is dragged underground by the Spin, and all traces of him disappears.<br />

[[File:Diego's World.png|thumb|An alternate Diego attacks Johnny]]<br />
After healing everyone, Johnny realizes that the Corpse has been stolen by a last unknown enemy, identified as at least a [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] contestant. Johnny pursues his final foe. Johnny catches up to the mysterious culprit, and confronts [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego Brando]], alive and well, now wielding a time-stopping Stand called [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|THE WORLD]]. [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] has convinced an alternate version to fulfill his goal in his place.<br />
<br />
<!--T:103--><br />
Both racers realize what the other is capable of and aim to devise a plan which will counter the other's power. As he begins the final stage Johnny meets with his father [[George Joestar I (Steel Ball Run)|George]], and they silently reconcile. The advantage switches between Diego and Johnny until Johnny joins the rest of the racers on the Brooklyn Bridge for one final attack. Both perform their plans but although [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|The World]]'s leg is hit by the rotation, the Stand cuts it and throws it at Johnny who's now imbued with the Golden Spin. Incapacitated, Johnny is powerless as Diego wins the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] and head to the safe in which the Holy Corpse will be put.<br />

* In order to research the American landscape, Araki knew he couldn't cross the United States in one journey and thus split his research trips into three. The first went from the West Coast to the deserts, the second was made from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago and the third to the finish line in New York. The trips were mostly done by car. In there, Araki was struck by the openness of the landscape and sensed that he "could never make an escape from an adversary" and that there was nowhere to hide. The emptiness of the landscape also inspired in him an impression of emptiness and lifelessness. Although Araki asked himself if there was any fun in living there at all, he also says that the atmosphere felt rich for suspense. Araki was able to put his experience to use when he drew the manga.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki's Manga Technique]], p.161</ref> <br />
[[File:SBR Chapter 25 Magazine Cover B.jpg|thumb|200px|"SBR - JJBA: Part 7 Chapter 1" in May 2005 Issue of Ultra Jump]]<br />
*During its initial serialization in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]], Steel Ball Run was categorized as a different series without the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' title. The change was a request from the editorial department in an attempt to attract reader attention by introducing a "new series."<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: [HISTORY] - P 153 - 154''</ref> This was undone when the series moved to [[Ultra Jump]] in 2005, specifically in the [[SBR Chapter 25|May 2005 issue]] where the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure name was re-added to the title and the chapter numbering was reset.<br />
**Araki has mentioned that, despite the name alternation, he wrote Steel Ball Run as the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from the start.<ref name="JOJOVELLER" /><ref>[[Author's Note (Steel Ball Run)|SBR Volume 1: Author's Note]]</ref><br />

[[File:D4C First.png|left|thumb|400x400px|President Funny Valentine and D4C]]Near the Independence Hall, [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] spot [[Diego Brando|Diego]] and [[Wekapipo]]. While Gyro tries to sneak on Diego, Johnny is shot by an unknown party and barely escapes in the sewers with [[Tusk]] ACT3. Gyro notices Johnny's absence and tries to go help him. Another henchman named [[D-I-S-C-O]] confronts Gyro, who is at a disavantage as [[D-I-S-C-O]]'s [[Chocolate Disco]] allows him to teleport any object within a grid on the ground. Using different layers of air as a lens, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] manages to dispose of him. Still, Gyro has no idea of what happened, and the witnesses alternately point [[Diego Brando|Diego]], [[Wekapipo]] or [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] as the culprit. A flashback details the life of [[Jesus]] Christ after his crucifixion, resurrected under the care of Joseph of Arimathea, he drew the map for Joseph then traveled East until he died in America, his relics scattered across the continent.<br />
<br />
<!--T:89--><br />
A series of flashback finally reveal that Valentine's Stand, [[Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap]] or D4C, can make parallel universes coexist in the same plane, explaining everyone's confusion during the last minutes. Valentine attacks Diego and Wekapipo and traps Diego in an alternate dimension through a flag. He steals the Left Eye and disappears but Diego then sacrifices Wekepipo to escape to the base world. Confident that the Corpse Parts are only found in his world, Diego continues his pursuit.<br />
<br />
<!--T:90--><br />
In the Independence Hall, a heavily pregnant [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] is contacted by a mysterious voice compelling her to get away. Due to a series of coincidences, her guards are all incapacitated or killed, allowing Lucy to escape with a wounded [[Steven Steel|Steven]]. Meanwhile, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] asks Johnny to abandon the chase for the [[Saint's Corpse|Corpse Parts]], considering that they've lost. However, Johnny stands up briefly, showing the evolution of his legs, and reaffirms his will to get hold of the Corpse. Gyro accepts to help him and reveals the last level of the [[Spin]], which can be used only by the most skilled horse riders, harnessing a power which can beat Valentine. Unable to locate the Corpse Parts, they resolve to chase Lucy's trail instead. For her part, Lucy has been guided to the river by the voice but realizes that Valentine had lured her to his ship.<br />

[[File:Valentine Powered.JPG|thumb|300x300px|Valentine and D4C - Love Train]][[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] is forced to embark with her husband. She and [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] are to go to the last "X" mark on Joseph of Arimathea's map. However, Diego and Hot Pants meet and agree to cooperate and follow a trail left by [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]], themselves followed by [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]. Diego and Hot Pants eventually catch up to Valentine who's boarded a train with Lucy. A vicious fight ensues as Diego and Hot Pants try multiple times to kill Valentine, culminating in Diego's death, cut in half by the train's wheels. Meanwhile, Gyro and Johnny notice that strange space distortions keep happening around them. In the train, Lucy Steel is turning into the Corpse itself. The space distortions also cause Hot Pants's death when debris converges into her heart. Having been observing the events, [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] uncovers the true nature of this power: there is a gap into space which only he can enter and manipulate.<br />
<br />
<!--T:94--><br />
Finally, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] catch up to the locomotive but Valentine has made it impossible to stop the train. Moreover, Valentine is invincible as "harm" itself is being redirected to random places in the world. Gyro throws a [[Steel Ball]], to seemingly no effect. The duo can only stop Valentine's wagon and retreat temporarily. It is then that Gyro exposes some hair attached to the Ball he's thrown. If they harness the rotational energy of their horses when they run according to the Golden Scale, Gyro and Johnny will reach Valentine. Both charge the wagon. The President defeats Johnny first and forces Gyro to waste a Steel Ball to save his partner. Fortunately, Steven Steel transports Lucy out of the wagon and entrusts her to Gyro, forcing Valentine to pursue them toward the Atlantic Ocean. Meanwhile, Johnny sees Valentine's ear stuck on the Steel Ball, and realizes that Valentine didn't notice his wound. Near the water, a wind gust does make Valentine realizes that he's missing his ear, and as Gyro rushes toward him, the President finally grasps the danger the Spin.<br />

[[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] disappears on the ocean floor while [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] harnesses the Golden Spin with Valkyrie. Despite several decoys, Gyro strikes the real Valentine with the [[Steel Ball]] imbued with the [[Golden Spin]]. Gyro's new stand [[Ball Breaker]] passes through the wall with the [[Spin]] energy and induces senescence in Valentine's cells, while Gyro is shot in the stomach. Unexpectedly, Valentines survives. Out of options, Gyro passes on to Johnny a mysterious speech, his lesson n°5: "The shortest route was a detour. It was a detour that was our shortest path."[[File:TuskAct4color.png|thumb|left|300px|Tusk ACT 4]]It is explained Valentine was saved by a pure coincidence which made Gyro's rotation imperfect. Gyro expires and Valentine empties his revolver on his corpse then attacks Johnny. Johnny wastes all but one nail and is unhorsed but at the last moment understands Gyro's hint. Using the Steel Ball on Slow Dancer's leg, Johnny makes himself get kicked into the air in a Golden Scale leg movement and is imbued with the Golden Spin. [[Tusk]] ACT4 appears. <br />
Tusk ACT4 forces its way into the dimensional gap then pummels D4C with enough force to form a crater on the ground at the bottom of which Valentine escapes. The President soon discovers that the Golden Spin is following him no matter which dimension he flees to and despairs.<br />
<br />
<!--T:98--><br />
A flashback details a young Funny's meeting with his future father-in-law [[Captain Valentine]] and his lesson about patriotism. Given resolve by this memory, Valentine recomposes himself. The President reappears in the base world but admits his loss and proposes Johnny to bring back Gyro Zeppeli. The [[Saint's Corpse|Holy Corpse]] begins to extract itself from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]]. Meanwhile, [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] continues his parley, countering each of Johnny's arguments. At the end, the jockey is nearly convinced.<br />
<br />
<!--T:99--><br />
Johnny nonetheless throws the gun Valentine emptied earlier back at him, daring him to pick it up as a test. Valentine's plans are foiled. A final shootout ensues between the jockey and the President, which Johnny wins. Johnny witnesses a final apparition of [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]'s ghost and says his farewell. He then puts a final nail bullet in Valentine's head, killing him. Valentine's body is dragged underground by the Spin, and all traces of him disappears.<br />

[[File:Diego's World.png|thumb|An alternate Diego attacks Johnny]]<br />
After healing everyone, Johnny realizes that the Corpse has been stolen by a last unknown enemy, identified as at least a [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] contestant. Johnny pursues his final foe. Johnny catches up to the mysterious culprit, and confronts [[Diego Brando (Parallel World)|Diego Brando]], alive and well, now wielding a time-stopping Stand called [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|THE WORLD]]. [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] has convinced an alternate version to fulfill his goal in his place.<br />
<br />
<!--T:103--><br />
Both racers realize what the other is capable of and aim to devise a plan which will counter the other's power. As he begins the final stage Johnny meets with his father [[George Joestar I (Steel Ball Run)|George]], and they silently reconcile. The advantage switches between Diego and Johnny until Johnny joins the rest of the racers on the Brooklyn Bridge for one final attack. Both perform their plans but although [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|The World]]'s leg is hit by the rotation, the Stand cuts it and throws it at Johnny who's now imbued with the Golden Spin. Incapacitated, Johnny is powerless as Diego wins the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run]] and head to the safe in which the Holy Corpse will be put.<br />

* In order to research the American landscape, Araki knew he couldn't cross the United States in one journey and thus split his research trips into three. The first went from the West Coast to the deserts, the second was made from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago and the third to the finish line in New York. The trips were mostly done by car. In there, Araki was struck by the openness of the landscape and sensed that he "could never make an escape from an adversary" and that there was nowhere to hide. The emptiness of the landscape also inspired in him an impression of emptiness and lifelessness. Although Araki asked himself if there was any fun in living there at all, he also says that the atmosphere felt rich for suspense. Araki was able to put his experience to use when he drew the manga.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki's Manga Technique]], p.161</ref> <br />

*During its initial serialization in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]], Steel Ball Run was categorized as a different series without the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' title. The change was a request from the editorial department in an attempt to attract reader attention by introducing a "new series."<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: [HISTORY] - P 153 - 154''</ref> This was undone when the series moved to [[Ultra Jump]] in 2005, specifically in the [[SBR Chapter 25|May 2005 issue]] where the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure name was re-added to the title and the chapter numbering was reset.<br />
**Araki has mentioned that, despite the name alternation, he wrote Steel Ball Run as the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from the start.<ref name="JOJOVELLER" /><ref>[[Author's Note (Steel Ball Run)|SBR Volume 1: Author's Note]]</ref><br />

[[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] objected at [[Marco]]'s execution and thus was proposed to participate to the [[Steel Ball Run (race)|Steel Ball Run race]], as winning could spur the King to proclaim a general amnesty, otherwise the prize money was enough to pay for Marco's appeal. Gyro accepted.<br />
<br />
<!--T:33--><br />
Some time later, a terrorist from Naples named [[Oyecomova]] arrives at a relay village ready to kill Gyro as revenge against the kingdom. [[Mountain Tim]] confronts Oyecomova but is incapacitated by his Stand [[Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure]]'s explosive power.

Johnny defuses the situation and the three eventually have a truce against a gunslinger named [[Ringo Roadagain]] who claims that they won't escape the forest without killing him. The trio confronts Ringo who reveals his [[Stand]] [[Mandom]], which rewinds time by six seconds when he winds up his wristwatch. A shootout ensues in which Johnny and Hot Pants are apparently fatally shot, leaving only Gyro alive.

Ringo then became a gunslinger seeking challenges to "purify" himself. Finally, Funny Valentine employed him to retrieve the Corpse part from Johnny. Chasing away the last doubts within him, Gyro challenges Ringo again and uses Mandom to his advantage by going through a first loop then leads Ringo into a falling splinter of the roof while impales the gunslinger. Acknowledging his defeat and Gyro's growth, Ringo honors him and is finished off. After his duel, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] heals [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Hot Pants]].

Meanwhile, witnessing Ringo's pigeon arriving on the roof, Lucy infiltrates a governmental building and steals the message it carries. Almost surprised by Valentine and his henchman [[Blackmore]], Lucy has no choice but to call [[Mountain Tim]] for help and they both escape incognito. Lucy then goes to retrieve the Spine at a local landmark known as the Green Tomb. However, Blackmore discovers Tim's involvement and kills him while his rain-controlling [[Catch the Rainbow]]. He then discovers that Lucy was the culprit and rushes toward her location as she uncovers the Spine. As Diego, Johnny and Gyro ride toward the Green Tomb, Lucy is discovered by Blackmore. He takes the Spine from [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] but is distracted by [[Jesus]]-Christ; he is shot by Lucy who escapes with the Corpse Part. Exalted by the miracles around him, Blackmore seals his fatal wounds with raindrops and pursues Lucy. Meanwhile, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] are unable to get ahead of [[Diego Brando|Diego]]. In the tempest, they struggle to find the optimal path while Diego's enhanced senses help him. Nonetheless, Gyro's growth expresses itself when he manages to catch up to Diego. After a brief fight, Silver Bullet hurts its leg, throwing Diego out of the race.<br />
<br />
<!--T:56--><br />
The duo then meets Lucy and Blackmore almost at the same time and a fight ensues.

====The Golden Rectangle==== <!--T:58--><br />
Near the Mississippi, Gyro and Johnny are attacked by a combination of Diego's dinosaurs and a strange power which produces effects like cutting or burning whoever touched an affected object. The duo has to flee to the river. Johnny reminisces his sad youth, notably how he blames himself for his brother [[Nicholas Joestar|Nicholas']] death and how poorly his father treated him. Considering that the universe is making him pay for his assumed unwitting murder, Johnny loses hope as his Stand proves ineffectual.<br />
<br />
<!--T:59--><br />
An angry Gyro reminds him that Johnny isn't close to master the [[Spin]] and introduces the [[Golden Rectangle]], a ubiquitous proportion which is used to form a perfect and infinite rotation. However, Gyro refuses to say more. [[Sandman]] reveals himself as the enemy and inexorably corners the duo, even slicing Gyro's legs. On the brink of despair, Johnny realizes that the Golden Rectangle is present in the environment and upgrades [[Tusk]] to ACT2. An even shootout ensues, but Johnny surprises Sandman with a bullet made from Gyro's belt and kills the Indian. Suddenly, [[Hot Pants]] appears and knocks him out.

The [[Eleven Men]] attack them in a casino and almost kill them, but Gyro pays the local thugs to become their bodyguards, killing all but one man.

At a climactic exchange, Gyro uses snowflakes to recreate the Golden Spin and beats Wekapipo. However, he also reveals that Wekapipo's sister is being taken care of by the [[Zeppeli Family]] and enlists him to search for Lucy.<br />

It transitions into the last dash of the 6th stage, in which Johnny and Gyro are racing against [[Pocoloco]]. [[Hey Ya!]] guides him out of the way of a rift, but Gyro and Johnny cooperate to cross it directly with a makeshift steel rope made from a ball, effectively beating Pocoloco's luck.

Johnny is warned to purify himself with water to dissolve the membrane and manages to escape. Suddenly, Johnny witnesses [[Jesus]] telling "not to shoot if he doubts, then a new path will open to him". When Johnny goes back into the garbage dump, [[Axl RO]], an agent of Valentine, uses his [[Civil War]] to materialize objects of guilt including the specters of people. Johnny is attacked by his father and brother and the situation gets worse when he shoots Ax RO as the attack transfers' Axl RO's own objects of guilt to him. Nonetheless, he suddenly understands Jesus' hint and shoots himself. Gaining the ability to travel into the wormhole created by the spinning nails, Johnny gains the upper hand and grabs the Corpse from afar. He thus forces Axl RO to stab him and is then absolved of his sins. Suddenly, Axl RO is shot in the chest and [[Funny Valentine]] reveals himself. The President seizes the nearly all the Corpse Parts and departs before Johnny can attack.<br />

While Gyro tries to sneak on Diego, Johnny is shot by an unknown party and barely escapes in the sewers with [[Tusk]] ACT3. Gyro notices Johnny's absence and tries to go help him. Another henchman named [[D-I-S-C-O]] confronts Gyro, who is at a disavantage as [[D-I-S-C-O]]'s [[Chocolate Disco]] allows him to teleport any object within a grid on the ground. Using different layers of air as a lens, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] manages to dispose of him. Still, Gyro has no idea of what happened, and the witnesses alternately point [[Diego Brando|Diego]], [[Wekapipo]] or [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] as the culprit.

However, Johnny stands up briefly, showing the evolution of his legs, and reaffirms his will to get hold of the Corpse. Gyro accepts to help him and reveals the last level of the [[Spin]], which can be used only by the most skilled horse riders, harnessing a power which can beat Valentine. Unable to locate the Corpse Parts, they resolve to chase Lucy's trail instead.

However, Diego and Hot Pants meet and agree to cooperate and follow a trail left by [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]], themselves followed by [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]. Diego and Hot Pants eventually catch up to Valentine who's boarded a train with Lucy. A vicious fight ensues as Diego and Hot Pants try multiple times to kill Valentine, culminating in Diego's death, cut in half by the train's wheels. Meanwhile, Gyro and Johnny notice that strange space distortions keep happening around them. In the train, Lucy Steel is turning into the Corpse itself. The space distortions also cause Hot Pants's death when debris converges into her heart. Having been observing the events, [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] uncovers the true nature of this power: there is a gap into space which only he can enter and manipulate.<br />

Finally, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] catch up to the locomotive but Valentine has made it impossible to stop the train. Moreover, Valentine is invincible as "harm" itself is being redirected to random places in the world. Gyro throws a [[Steel Ball]], to seemingly no effect. The duo can only stop Valentine's wagon and retreat temporarily. It is then that Gyro exposes some hair attached to the Ball he's thrown. If they harness the rotational energy of their horses when they run according to the Golden Scale, Gyro and Johnny will reach Valentine. Both charge the wagon. The President defeats Johnny first and forces Gyro to waste a Steel Ball to save his partner. Fortunately, Steven Steel transports Lucy out of the wagon and entrusts her to Gyro, forcing Valentine to pursue them toward the Atlantic Ocean. Meanwhile, Johnny sees Valentine's ear stuck on the Steel Ball, and realizes that Valentine didn't notice his wound. Near the water, a wind gust does make Valentine realizes that he's missing his ear, and as Gyro rushes toward him, the President finally grasps the danger the Spin.<br />

[[Funny Valentine|Valentine]] disappears on the ocean floor while [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] harnesses the Golden Spin with Valkyrie. Despite several decoys, Gyro strikes the real Valentine with the [[Steel Ball]] imbued with the [[Golden Spin]]. Gyro's new stand [[Ball Breaker]] passes through the wall with the [[Spin]] energy and induces senescence in Valentine's cells, while Gyro is shot in the stomach. Unexpectedly, Valentines survives. Out of options, Gyro passes on to Johnny a mysterious speech, his lesson n°5: "The shortest route was a detour. It was a detour that was our shortest path."[[File:TuskAct4color.png|thumb|left|300px|Tusk ACT 4]]It is explained Valentine was saved by a pure coincidence which made Gyro's rotation imperfect. Gyro expires and Valentine empties his revolver on his corpse then attacks Johnny. Johnny wastes all but one nail and is unhorsed but at the last moment understands Gyro's hint. Using the Steel Ball on Slow Dancer's leg, Johnny makes himself get kicked into the air in a Golden Scale leg movement and is imbued with the Golden Spin. [[Tusk]] ACT4 appears. <br />
Tusk ACT4 forces its way into the dimensional gap then pummels D4C with enough force to form a crater on the ground at the bottom of which Valentine escapes. The President soon discovers that the Golden Spin is following him no matter which dimension he flees to and despairs.<br />

Johnny nonetheless throws the gun Valentine emptied earlier back at him, daring him to pick it up as a test. Valentine's plans are foiled. A final shootout ensues between the jockey and the President, which Johnny wins. Johnny witnesses a final apparition of [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]]'s ghost and says his farewell. He then puts a final nail bullet in Valentine's head, killing him. Valentine's body is dragged underground by the Spin, and all traces of him disappears.<br />

The advantage switches between Diego and Johnny until Johnny joins the rest of the racers on the Brooklyn Bridge for one final attack. Both perform their plans but although [[The World (Steel Ball Run)|The World]]'s leg is hit by the rotation, the Stand cuts it and throws it at Johnny who's now imbued with the Golden Spin.

==Trivia== <!--T:113--><br />
* In order to research the American landscape, Araki knew he couldn't cross the United States in one journey and thus split his research trips into three. The first went from the West Coast to the deserts, the second was made from the Great Plains to the Mississippi River and Chicago and the third to the finish line in New York. The trips were mostly done by car. In there, Araki was struck by the openness of the landscape and sensed that he "could never make an escape from an adversary" and that there was nowhere to hide. The emptiness of the landscape also inspired in him an impression of emptiness and lifelessness. Although Araki asked himself if there was any fun in living there at all, he also says that the atmosphere felt rich for suspense. Araki was able to put his experience to use when he drew the manga.<ref>[[Hirohiko Araki's Manga Technique]], p.161</ref> <br />
[[File:SBR Chapter 25 Magazine Cover B.jpg|thumb|200px|"SBR - JJBA: Part 7 Chapter 1" in May 2005 Issue of Ultra Jump]]<br />
*During its initial serialization in [[Weekly Shonen Jump]], Steel Ball Run was categorized as a different series without the ''JoJo's Bizarre Adventure'' title. The change was a request from the editorial department in an attempt to attract reader attention by introducing a "new series."<ref name="JOJOVELLER">''[[JOJOVELLER]]: [HISTORY] - P 153 - 154''</ref> This was undone when the series moved to [[Ultra Jump]] in 2005, specifically in the [[SBR Chapter 25|May 2005 issue]] where the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure name was re-added to the title and the chapter numbering was reset.<br />
**Araki has mentioned that, despite the name alternation, he wrote Steel Ball Run as the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure from the start.<ref name="JOJOVELLER" /><ref>[[Author's Note (Steel Ball Run)|SBR Volume 1: Author's Note]]</ref><br />
