Valkyrie (ヴァルキリー, Varukirī) is a primary ally featured in the seventh part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Steel Ball Run. It is a horse belonging to Gyro Zeppeli, who rides it for the entirety of the Steel Ball Run race.

Appearance

Valkyrie is a 4-year-old stock horse with possibly Australian roots, with a plain coat and a mane tied and cut into a row of flat topped buns.

While being ridden by Gyro, it is adorned with a bridle and reins as well as a dark hood covering most of its head though with opening for the mouth, eyes and ears as well as a strand of hair. Several straps of the same clothe cover Valkyrie's neck. Finally, its legs are bandaged at the cannons.

Gyro's jockey number, B-636, is displayed on its side.

Personality

Little is known about Valkyrie's personality but it faithfully serves of Gyro Zeppeli's mount during the entirety of the Steel Ball Run. As noted by Diego Brando, Valkyrie has a quirk where it sways suddenly to its left for every eight breaths it takes.[1]

Abilities

As Stock Horse, Valkyrie has significant stamina. Although Gyro is an amateur rider, he compensates by using the Spin to complement his riding, using a number of tricks when necessary to gain speed or any advantage possible.

Golden Spin

During the events of Steel Ball Run, only two people on Earth could reproduce the Golden Spin on horseback. Thanks to his talent at horseriding and knowledge of the Spin, Gyro was able to let Valkyrie run at its natural speed, which generated the necessary energy to harness via the stirrups to create the Golden Spin and awaken the Stand Ball Breaker.

Debut: Steel Ball Run Chapter 72: Ticket to Ride, Part 2

A superior version of the Golden Spin which involves riding on horseback. Unlocking the Golden Spin on horseback grants mastery over an infinite amount of energy, therefore, several miraculous feats are possible. First and foremost is that its wielder spontaneously develops a Stand or evolves it should they already have one. Johnny develops Tusk's final evolution: Tusk ACT4.[2]

Although powerful, the horseback Golden Spin is incredibly complicated to set up. One must not only have a healthy horse, but also have the expertise to feel when it runs at its natural pace. Any interference during the horse mounting, like bumping into an obstacle or the horse being attacked, will completely interrupt the process.[2]
