==Resumo da História==

===A Corrida Steel Ball Run===

 

 

{{pt-br|Steven Steel}}, promotor, convoca uma conferência para apresentar a corrida Steel Ball Run: uma corrida de cavalos ao longo da américa com vários estágios e um prêmio de $50,000,000. Vários competidores estão chegando de todo o mundo: entre os favoritos estão {{pt-br|Mountain Tim}} o cowboy, {{pt-br|Dot Han}} o cavaleiro mongól, e o jóquie britânico {{pt-br|Diego Brando}}. Porém, mesmo pessoas desconhecidas como o emancipado {{pt-br|Pocoloco}} e Sandman estão vindo.

{{pt-br|Gyro Zeppeli}} é introduzido quando ele registra sua entrada. Ele desafia um ladrão em duelo e o faz atirar em si mesmo lançando uma {{pt-br|Steel Ball|Bola de Aço}} no ombro de seu oponente. Interessado, um espectador em uma cadeira de rodas toca a bola, ainda girando em seu coldre, e momentariamente se levanta. O nome desse homem é {{pt-br|Johnny Joestar}}, um ex-jóquei genial que ficou paraplégico após uma briga trivial, arruinando sua vida.

 

 

===A Corrida Começa===

 

A corrida Steel Ball Run começa. {{pt-br|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. {{pt-br|Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro}} quickly goes ahead of the racers and amazingly beats two of the favorites, {{pt-br|Urmd Avdul}} and {{pt-br|Diego Brando|Diego}}, thanks to the power of his Steel Balls. He is then quickly challenged by {{pt-br|Pocoloco}}, encouraged by his {{pt-br|Hey Ya!}} and emboldened by his uncanny luck. Gyro tries to stop him but only manage to slightly endanger {{pt-br|Sandman}} as the Indian suddenly appears climbing down a cliff. Using a unique running technique, {{pt-br|Sandman}} becomes the front runner 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.

===O Oeste: Primeiras Batalhas===

====Uma Competição Sedenta por Sangue====

 

The first stage ended, but {{pt-br|Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro}} suddenly receives a penalty due to having endangered {{pt-br|Sandman}}'s life earlier in the race. He is relegated to the 21st place. After exacting a petty revenge by ruining {{pt-br|Steven Steel|Steven}}'s party, Gyro accepts to have {{pt-br|Johnny Joestar|Johnny}} follow him and teaches him a first lesson: what matters is the Steel Ball's {{pt-br|Spin}} itself. Meanwhile, Steven and his wife {{pt-br|Lucy Steel|Lucy}} are brought to a murder scene, showing that contestants are murdering the competition. The local Sheriff calls the famous cowboy {{pt-br|Mountain Tim}} to help who memorizes the horseshoes prints and also falls in love with Lucy.

 

 

Later, {{pt-br|Johnny Joestar|Johnny}} and {{pt-br|Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro}} make camp and Johnny makes some progress in the Spin. They are then attacked by {{pt-br|Andre Boomboom|Andre}}, {{pt-br|Benjamin Boomboom|Benjamin}}, and {{pt-br|L.A. Boomboom|L.A.}} Boomboom, and Gyro realizes that his leg was magnetized by the Stand {{pt-br|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 {{pt-br|Mountain Tim}} who reveals his Stand {{pt-br|Oh! Lonesome Me}}. Benjamin successfully plants some of his blood on Tim and pushes him to think Johnny is the murderer. {{pt-br|Mountain Tim}} catches up to {{pt-br|Johnny Joestar|Johnny}} and {{pt-br|Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro}}, and the three of them realize that they are affected by the magnetism. Tim presents his power he calls a {{pt-br|Stand}}, which he acquired by stepping into a {{pt-br|Devil's Palm}}, a moving phenomenon granting people Stands. {{pt-br|Benjamin Boomboom}} uses his Stand to immobilize them and kill them. But Johnny then awakens his own Stand, {{pt-br|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.

 

 

Some time later, a terrorist from Naples named {{pt-br|Oyecomova}} arrives at a relay village ready to kill Gyro as revenge against the kingdom. {{pt-br|Mountain Tim}} confronts Oyecomova but is incapacitated by his Stand {{pt-br|Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure}}'s explosive power. The fight becomes a race toward the {{pt-br|Zombie Horse}}, a healing item sent for Gyro. After a long pursuit up a river, a combination attack from {{pt-br|Johnny Joestar|Johnny}} and Gyro manages to take Oyecomova down, and the duo continues the race.

====Interlude: A Motivação de Gyro Zeppeli====

{{Main|SBR Chapter 24|Interlude}}

 

In the present, Gyro and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] retrieve the [[Zombie Horse]] and heal Gyro's leg injury with it.

====O Verdadeiro Objetivo da Corrida Steel Ball Run====

 

[[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]].

A flashback reveals some of [[Funny Valentine]]'s past. After surviving a trip into the desert, Valentine became a politician and discovered Joseph of Arimathea's map. It indicated the whereabouts of the nine [[Saint's Corpse|Corpse parts]]: the Torso, the Heart, the Left Arm, the Right Arm, the Spine, both Eyes, both Ears, both Legs and the Head. Becoming President of the United States, he sponsored [[Steven Steel]]'s race to secretly seize every Corpse Part.

===O Centro-Oeste: Luta pelo Cadáver do Santo===

During the final dash, of the third stage, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] challenges Diego again. [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] having known Gyro for a certain amount of time, declares that Gyro lacks a proper drive for the race and will lose there. Gyro angrily rebukes Johnny, but despite his best efforts, Diego stays ahead. However, another racer, [[Hot Pants]], has already crossed the line. Defeated, Gyro admits that he does lack the drive to win.

 

 

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.

====Lucy Steel se Envolve====

[[File:Lucy presents spine.png|thumb|226x226px|Lucy Steel cooperates with Johnny & Gyro, giving them the Spine]]

 

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.

[[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.

====O Retângulo Dourado====

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.

 

Lastly, Araki explains that items and techniques such as the Stone Mask, the Ripple, or the Spin were tools who emulate the power of the Stands.

===Lago Michigan: Aceitar a Derrota===

At the beginning of the 6th stage, [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] notices that 11 horses are nearing them with unnatural synchronization. They also meet [[Sugar Mountain]], a young girl residing inside a giant tree who submits the duo to a trial of honesty. Gyro manages to obtain the Ears and the Right Arm plus various precious goods. However, Sugar Mountain warns the horse racers that they have to spend or exchange fairly everything they have before the sun sets lest they are absorbed into the tree. Gyro and Johnny decide to head to the city but find it difficult to spend their fortune. 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. However, Gyro is still turning into a tree and Johnny reluctantly trades his Corpse Parts with the last assassin. Sugar Mountain nonetheless salutes their resolve.

 

 

Johnny and Gyro have reached a frozen straits which they must pass, but unbeknownst to them their are observed by two enemies. [[Wekapipo]]'s past is explored: once a member of the royal guard of Naples, Wekapipo broke his sister's marriage on the premise that she was beaten blind. Furious, the husband forced him into exile; having heard of his sister's death, Wekapipo enters [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]]'s service.

[[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] and [[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] try to cross the frozen strait, a wolf following them for unknown reasons. In the middle of the strait, they are attacked by Wekapipo and [[Magent Magent]] whose [[Wrecking Ball]] and [[20th Century Boy]] can make their victim not perceive anything to their left and make Magent invincible while kneeling respectively. 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.

 

 

Meanwhile, [[Magent Magent]] crawls back to civilization.

===O Noroeste: A Caça se Conclui===

====Valentine Toma Tudo====

A flashback details the discovery of "Lucy Steel" 's body from the Fox River. A distraught [[Steven Steel]] is convinced that the woman before her isn't [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]].

 

 

 

====Unindo o Corpo do Santo====

 

[[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] and [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] enter Philadelphia. Seeing that [[Diego Brando]] is at the 1st place, they decide to confront him and steal the Left Eye from him. At the same time elsewhere, [[Steven Steel]] ruminates in his coach. Comparing recent photos, he discovers that somehow [[Scarlet Valentine]] is [[Lucy Steel|Lucy]] in disguise. However, [[Magent Magent]] appears and shoots Steven because he's no longer useful to [[Funny Valentine|Valentine]]. Soon after, [[Wekapipo]] intervenes to protect Steven. The fight ends as Wekapipo imprisons Magent at the bottom of a river by using the Spin.

[[Gyro Zeppeli|Gyro]] tells [[Johnny Joestar|Johnny]] a joke, reciting the days of the week while acting progressively crazier, at Sunday, he regains his calm. Johnny notes the jokes and comments that it's really good.

====Vale-Tudo na Filadélfia====

 

 

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 Wekapipo to escape to the base world. Confident that the Corpse Parts are only found in his world, Diego continues his pursuit.

===A Costa Oeste: O Poder do Corpo do Santo===

====Valentine é Abençoado====

 

[[File:D4C Love Train Infobox Manga.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.

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.

====O Poder Fenomenal do Spin====

 

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.

 

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.
