JJBA anime: Johnny Joestar, Gyro Zeppeli, and Diego Brando
The aforementioned JOJODAY event featured the voice actors for Jonathan, Jotaro, and Jolyne alongside special video appearances from the voices of Joseph, Josuke, and Giorno. What made the celebration extra special was the confirmation of the JJBA Steel Ball Run anime, adding Johnny to the roster of animated protagonists.
Of course, JJBA Steel Ball Run wouldn’t be complete without a classic "jobro." Johnny’s trusted companion is Gyro Zeppeli. In JJBA Steel Ball Run, also known as JJBA Part 7 of the manga, the two travel across America in the Steel Ball Run race.
Along the way, Johnny uses his Stand, Gyro Zeppeli teaches him the Spin technique, they uncover Funny Valentine's plans, meet Diego Brando, and much more. We won't spoil everything, but the JJBA Steel Ball Run anime would likely follow the key moments of the manga, much like the other JJBA anime series before it.
