The Steel Ball Run Press Conference
(スティール・ボール・ラン 記者会見 Stīru Bōru Ran Kisha Kaiken)
(スティール・ボール・ラン 記者会見 Stīru Bōru Ran Kisha Kaiken)
For keeping English literature, Sandman is forced to flee his Native American tribe. He mysteriously outpaces and escapes his pursuers on horseback thanks to a mysterious power. Promoter Steven Steel holds a press conference to announce the Steel Ball Run, a multi-stage horse race across America. Participants flock to America from all over the world: among the favorites are cowboy Mountain Tim, Mongolian horseman Dot Han, and British jockey Diego Brando. Even relative unknowns like emancipated slave Pocoloco and Sandman have signed up to join the race. Gyro Zeppeli is introduced as he registers his entry. He challenges a thief in a duel and, by throwing a Steel Ball at his shoulder, makes his opponent shoot himself in the head. Interested, a paraplegic bystander named Johnny Joestar touches the Steel Ball as it spins, causing him to momentarily stand up. Though Johnny is amazed, Gyro refuses to explain the ball's secret.

(1890年9月25日 スタート3時間前 1890-nen 9-gatsu 25-nichi Sutāto 3-jikan Mae)
Johnny Joestar's past is revealed: he was once a renowned genius jockey until he was shot during a petty fight, paralyzing his body from the waist down. In the present, Johnny buys a stock horse and enters the race. As the race begins, Johnny manages to mount his horse by spinning his own body. Gyro quickly gains the lead and incapacitates Urmd Avdul with the power of his Steel Balls, setting his eyes on the time bonus awarded for finishing the stage in first place.

First Stage: 15,000 Meters
(1st. STAGE 15,000メートル Fāsuto Sutēji 15,000 Mētoru)
(
Gyro is challenged by Pocoloco, who makes up for his late start with uncanny luck and a strange ability. Fortunate events occur to Pocoloco from all around, and Sandman even helps to stop him cross a ravine. Even as he and Gyro cut through a forest shortcut, Pocoloco somehow avoids hitting a single branch even with his eyes closed.
Steven Steel's colorful past is explored: it is revealed that the Steel Ball Run race was originally Lucy's suggestion to a downtrodden and despairing Steven. After awakening from a drunken stupor, Steven was approached by a certain sponsor who expressed interest in the event and offered to finance it. Out of gratitude toward Lucy, Steven later married her. In the present, only 4,000 meters remain until the stage's goal. Despite Gyro's efforts to attack Pocoloco, he only manages to put Sandman in danger; nevertheless, the Native American overtakes both of them to become the frontrunner. After a tense battle near the finish line, Gyro turns his cape into a sail to catch the tailwind and barely takes first place.

(アリゾナ砂漠越え Arizona Sabaku Goe)
Despite his impressive performance, Gyro receives a penalty for having endangered Sandman earlier in the race. After exacting petty revenge on Steven, Gyro agrees to teach Johnny about the Spin. As the second stage of the race begins, Steven and his wife are brought to the scene of a murder along the race's path. The local sheriff calls the famous cowboy Mountain Tim, who memorizes the horseshoe prints and briefly flirts with Lucy. Meanwhile, Gyro and Johnny are attacked by fellow racer Mrs. Robinson, who uses explosive cacti to harass them until Gyro defeats him with the same cacti. Later, after finding Mrs. Robinson's horse, Mountain Tim realizes that the murderer is still at large.

The Outlaws Born in the Desert
(砂漠で生まれたならず者 Sabaku de Umareta Narazumono)
(砂漠で生まれたならず者 Sabaku de Umareta Narazumono)
Johnny and Gyro make camp and Johnny makes some progress in the Spin. The two are then attacked by Andre, Benjamin, and L.A. Boomboom, who wield the shared magnetic Stand Tomb of the Boom. After a brief fight, Gyro and Johnny flee but are sprayed with Andre's blood. Benjamin disguises himself as Johnny Joestar, confronting Mountain Tim and managing to frame Johnny for the murders.
Mountain Tim catches up to Johnny and Gyro, but the three of them realize that the enemy is still attacking them. Tim presents his power, Oh! Lonesome Me, which he refers to as a Stand. He reveals that he acquired this power by stepping into a Devil's Palm, a moving phenomenon granting people Stands. Benjamin Boomboom uses his Stand to immobilize the group, but Johnny awakens his own Stand, Tusk: in truth, the group had entered 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 to die in the desert.

The Foreign Terrorist
(遠い国から来たテロリスト Tōi Kuni kara Kita Terorisuto)
(遠い国から来たテロリスト Tōi Kuni kara Kita Terorisuto)
At Johnny's behest, Gyro reveals his past as an executioner for the Kingdom of Naples. For his first execution, Gyro was to behead Marco, a little boy condemned to death by mere association with a treasonous lord. After meeting the boy and seeing his kind heart, Gyro objected to Marco's execution and decided to participate in the Steel Ball Run race to earn a pardon for him. Some time later, a Neapolitan terrorist named Oyecomova follows the duo to a relay village and incapacitates Mountain Tim with his exposive-planting Stand Boku no Rhythm wo Kiitekure. The terrorist pursues Gyro and Johnny toward the mountains, having heard of a healing item called the Zombie Horse from a letter Gyro left behind. After a long pursuit upriver, Johnny and Gyro incapacitate Oyecomova with a combination attack. The two reach the Zombie Horse, which Gyro uses to heal an earlier leg injury. Meanwhile, Steven converses with his sponsor, President Funny Valentine.
A flashback reveals that Joseph of Arimathea, the man who lowered Jesus Christ from his cross, later drew a map depicting an unknown land and several points of interest. Johnny and Gyro are attacked by Fritz von Stroheim, who they quickly dispose of. Johnny, confused by the frequency of the attempts on their lives, suddenly realizes that his left arm contains a mummified arm. Meanwhile, Valentine reveals Joseph of Arimathea's map to Steven, theorizing that Gyro must have picked up a piece of a certain Saint's Corpse. Later, Johnny notices that Gyro has suddenly disappeared, and narrowly avoids being dragged upward by an unknown hook-like ability.
Johnny hides under a rock and observes his enemy from afar. Suddenly, Johnny's Tusk appears, causes his legs to twitch, and whispers the phrase "movere crus" to him. Johnny realizes the Steel Ball Run's true purpose: the race's sponsor intends to have the participants collect the pieces of the Saint's Corpse for them throughout the race. Johnny baits the hooks into attacking him, allowing him to wound the Stand User, Pork Pie Hat Kid. Johnny manages to reach Gyro, but Pork Pie Hat Kid uses his hostage to incapacitate Johnny. Johnny tearfully relinquishes his Corpse Part to Pork Pie Hat Kid, but Gyro reveals that he made the nails on the mummified arm spin, causing them to launch off and fatally wound the boy. Johnny, his attention focused on the miraculous Saint's Corpse convinces Gyro to help him obtain it. The two see Diego pass by and prepare to give chase.

(スケアリー・モンスターズ その② Sukearī Monsutāzu Sono 2)
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. In the present, as Gyro begins to transform into a dinosaur himself, the two manage to locate the Corpse's Eyes, only for Diego to snatch the Corpse Parts away from them. Johnny, remaining human due to the Corpse's Left Arm, confronts Dr. Ferdinand, who explains that his Scary Monsters is controlling the pack of dinosaurs. Dr. Ferdinand elaborates that he seeks neither money nor glory, but only wants for his employer to control the completed Corpse for the sake of his country. Johnny unexpectedly abandons the Left Arm and partially transforms in order to toss one of the Eyes at Gyro, who regains human form.

Due to the power of the Eyes, Gyro and his Steel Balls gain a new ability called Scan, which allows him and Johnny to incapacitate Dr. Ferdinand, reversing his Stand's effects and leaving him cornered by ravenous cougars. However, Diego escapes with the Left Eye and keeps his dinosaur abilities. Johnny and Gyro chase him into the final dash of the third stage, where the Neapolitan chooses to dangerously cross a lake to keep up with Diego. Johnny declares that Gyro lacks the proper drive to win: sure enough, Johnny passes both combatants in the end to reach the finish line, though another racer named Hot Pants has already taken first place.

(男の世界 その① Otoko no Sekai Sono 1)
In a forest along the trail, Gyro and Johnny meet Hot Pants and briefly fight her over a stolen cow. Using Scan on Hot Pants's spine, Gyro deciphers a clue toward the next part of the Corpse; nevertheless, Hot Pants' flesh-spraying Cream Starter nearly kills him and Johnny. When Johnny reveals that neither he nor Gyro killed the cow, Hot Pants is compelled to show mercy. The three attempt to continue onward, but find themselves repeatedly returning to the same cabin. A gunslinger named Ringo Roadagain emerges from the cabin and introduces his Stand, Mandom, which can rewind time by five seconds. A shootout ensues in which Johnny and Hot Pants are apparently killed, leaving only Gyro alive. Ringo drags Johnny's body inside the cabin, but Gyro realizes that Johnny's wound isn't fatal and contemplates whether to engage the gunslinger.

Ringo Roadagain's past is revealed: he was once the sick youngest child of an impoverished family. One night, Ringo's mother and sister were killed by a bandit who tried to assault him, forcing him to shoot and kill the bandit in self-defense. Ringo then became a gunslinger seeking challengers in order to purify himself, drawing the attention of one Funny Valentine. In the present, Gyro decides that, despite what his father would want, he will continue the race and gather the Corpse. Gyro challenges Ringo again, paralyzing his shoulder with a Steel Ball. Ringo manages to rewind time, but is ultimately forced into the trajectory of a falling splinter in the ensuing duel. Acknowledging his defeat and Gyro's growth, Ringo forces the Neapolitan to finish him off.

Near Kansas City, the duo crosses paths with Sandman, who warns the two that Diego is in the lead and that a storm is coming. Johnny realizes that Ringo had sent a message to Valentine before his death, and that Diego already knows the location of the Corpse's Spine. Meanwhile, in Kansas, Lucy decides to infiltrate a government building and steal Ringo's message for the president. Valentine and his henchman Blackmore nearly discover her identity, but Lucy narrowly manages to escape the building with help from Mountain Tim.

Discovering that the intruder was a woman, Blackmore rushes toward Lucy's location as she approaches the Spine. Blackmore takes the Spine from Lucy, but the two are suddenly warped into the middle of Kansas City; Lucy takes advantage of Blackmore's confusion and excitement to fatally shoot him and escape with the Spine. Meanwhile, Gyro and Johnny catch up to Diego, but are unable to get ahead of him, as his enhanced senses allow him to detect the optimal path. Gyro suddenly catches up to Diego by sensing the optimal path on his own, but Johnny worries that one of the two will collapse at their current pace. Back in Kansas City, Blackmore seals his fatal wounds with frozen raindrops and continues discreetly pursuing Lucy.

(嵐の夜に… Arashi no Yoru ni...)
Johnny attempts to attack Diego, but Diego easily dodges and attempts to counterattack. Gyro manages to incapacitate Diego's horse, but is frustrated at his incomplete victory. The two then meet Lucy, with Blackmore in hot pursuit. Catch the Rainbow immobilizes Johnny and Gyro, but the latter utilizes the raindrops' static positions to throw a Steel Ball at Blackmore; the spinning Steel Ball evaporates the raindrops in its way and strikes Blackmore, knocking him down. As the storm clears, Blackmore dies from his wounds, and the Spine reveals the locations of the remaining Corpse Parts to the group. Gyro entrusts Lucy with the task of stealing the Heart from Valentine, lending her the Right Eye and seating her on Johnny's horse to avoid suspicion.

Diego meets with Valentine's henchmen. Diego promises that he has information regarding the government traitor, but seeks revenge against Johnny and Gyro before revealing it. The president reluctantly cooperates with the British jockey, granting him a single subordinate Stand user. More of Johnny's past is revealed: when Johnny refused to kill a white mouse he had brought home, his jockey brother Nicholas allowed him to release it into the forest. Later, the mouse darted in front of his horse during a race, leading to his death. In the present, near the Mississippi River, Gyro and Johnny rest in front of a cottage and discuss the Corpse's identity. Suddenly, the two are attacked by a combination of Diego's dinosaurs and a strange ability that destroys anything that touches an affected object via sound waves. The cottage collapses on top of Johnny, but Gyro saves him by digging a hole with his remaining Steel Balls. Without any Steel Balls, however, the duo is forced to flee into the river, where Gyro prepares to teach Johnny another lesson.

(サイレント・ウェイ その② Sairento Wei Sono 2)
Gyro introduces Johnny to the Golden Rectangle, a ubiquitous proportion which forms a perfect and infinite rotation. However, the water multiplies the enemy's sound waves, incapacitating and gravely wounding Gyro. Sandman reveals himself as the enemy and inexorably corners the duo. On the brink of despair, Johnny realizes that the Golden Rectangle is present in nature itself, and Tusk evolves to ACT2. An even shootout ensues until Johnny surprises Sandman with a bullet made from Gyro's belt buckle, using it to kill the Native American. Suddenly, Hot Pants appears and knocks Johnny out. While moving him and Gyro to the other side of the river, Hot Pants steals all of their Corpse Parts as well, save a fraction of Johnny's Spine.

(シュガー・マウンテン その① Shugā Maunten Sono 1)
An explanation of Stands and the rules governing them, such as their appearances and relationships with their users, is provided. Near the beginning of the sixth stage, Gyro senses that eleven horses are approaching them with unnatural synchronization. After one of Gyro's Steel Balls rolls into a lake and disappears, the two spot a girl named Sugar Mountain running away with the dropped Steel Ball in her hand. Chasing her into a large tree, the two are surprised when she bestows both the Steel Ball and two pieces of jewelry upon them. Johnny and Gyro realize that Sugar's ability recreates the fable of the Golden Axe and, after further exploiting the girl's naivete, use a rabbit's ears and a wolf's paw to obtain the Corpse's Ears and Right Arm. As the two prepare to leave, Sugar warns them that everything they acquired must be used up by sunset, lest they be absorbed into the tree. Gyro and Johnny confidently head to Milwaukee to spend their earnings, but find it difficult to fairly spend their fortune. As all of this occurs, the Eleven Men on horseback close in.

(シュガー・マウンテン その② Shugā Maunten Sono 2)
Gyro decides to spend his and Johnny's cash at a casino, but the two are forced to change the outcome of a rigged bet to save themselves. Suddenly, the Eleven Men barge into the casino, engaging in a shootout with the two protagonists. The Eleven Men nearly kill the duo with their body-phasing ability, but a group of local thugs come to their aid and kill all but one of the men, having been paid by Gyro to become their bodyguards. Though all of the cash is spent, Gyro suddenly begins to be absorbed once more, and Johnny realizes that the Corpse Parts they received must be used up as well. Johnny reluctantly trades his Corpse Parts with the last assassin for a bottle of wine, freeing Gyro and breaking the tree's curse on its inhabitants. As the two honest men have a toast, the girl formerly known as Sugar Mountain salutes their resolve.
