The answer is simple, everyone loves a good Western once in a while.

[@Bendy785]

That and also everything inside of SBR

[@dakotatrue12]

That but also the writing is just generally pretty good. There are some slower moments but overall a great manga.

For me it was the switch to ultra jump that made the manga stand out so much more compared to the other parts. Giving araki a month Vs a week to make a chapter definitely made him step up his consistency in everything from the art, the characters and the writing.

The change to a new magazine not change anything in Araki's writing. its publisher wanted the new series to change magazines to boost sales. It's only due to that. When you read SBR and the other parts you don't see any changes in the tone of the work. We need to stop with all these legends about SBR when it's just a good game like the others

Steel Ball Run is fun, it's dramatic, and it's jojo. All while being a western with some of araki's best panels. The stand fights are interesting, the characters are bombastic and the villains are so compelling.

[@sneakydaddyman9882]

My favorite thing about Steel ball run is that Johnny isnt a "Doing it for the greater good" type character. He does everything in the part for himself and himself alone. Valentine is doing it for the greater good of America and Johnny knows that, but he doesnt care.

Johnny would be a villain without Gyro

[@EmperorOfApathy]

To paraphrase a quote from weather report/domenico pucci: “You’re the worst kind of evil, one that doesn’t know it’s evil!” That was why pucci was good, because he thought his actions and motivations were just and righteous. Funny valentine, on the other hand, had acknowledged that his actions aren’t always morally good but still believes that everything he does is for the greater good, no matter how evil. To take another quote: “My heart and actions are utterly unclouded. They are all those of justice!” He doesn’t care about the “good” or “evil” of what he does, he only cares about getting what’s “just”. Valentine both contrasts and coincides with Enrico Pucci and it makes him a better villain for it.

[@user-yv3ke7mg2l]

Something I like about SBR is the tale of a guy against the world. SPOILERS FOR PART 7!! ------------------ From the start of things, Johnny hasn’t had the best life. He basically killed his brother by accident, mentally shattered by his father and was left as soon as he was put in a chair. It genuinely makes you hurt for the guy, even if you see him as the greediest Jojo. He ran an entire freaking horse race without legs. Even if he didn’t win, he still did better than most of the other racers. His development is good, because we’re growing along with him. We grow to love Gyro with him, we worry for him when hes hurt, and all that. That’s magnificent storytelling, I would say. Even as he lost his best friend, we weeped right along with Johnny. God, part 7 is so good. I’m gonna reread it soon.

[@thatsjustcolin3208]

Also spoilers Johnny realized he doesn't need to win at the end. before he could never beat Diego while his brother might've been able. His dad doesn't love him like he did his brother. But at the end his dad comes back before the race is even over. It was about the journey. He doesn't have to beat Diego or win the race for him to be adequate nor does he have to live up to his brother's legacy.

I love how you answered the first question in the title itself like obviously it doesn’t need thinking 🤣🤣🤣

[@debrachambers1304]

In parts 3-6, I loved having stands, but that lead to a villain of the week format that sometimes drew out the story too long. Part 4 mostly sidesteps this by being more slice of life. But part 7 integrates them in a way that never felt too long to me, despite being the longest part at the time of it's conclusion. There's more of a sense of plot progression. I often feel like certain secondary characters in JoJo don't get enough time (once again, not true of part 4), but because part 7 is about a duo and others are solidly secondary, them not getting a ton of focus feels fine. And the deaths that happen are a bit more spread out. And generally, it just doesn't feel as juvenile while also being fun.

[@John34bruh]

Hot pants, sandman, and Wekapipo shoulda got more time imo.

[@robotboy765]

Part 7 is the most improvised part with the most plot hol. It's a good part but it's the least consistent

One of the things that keeps me going in life despite all the bad things in the world is eventually/maybe seeing SBR turn into an anime.

Part 7 is a good part like the others but it has flaws like the others. the problem is that it is the first part to have been translated in the United States which brought back a lot of toxic fans. For at least 10 years the SBR community was known for criticizing all other parties even if it didn't want them to be animated. Some people think that SBR is the best manga in the world. it's just a good game of jojo. Johny is not the best Jojo and Valentine is not the best villain. You have a few really good fights but that's it.

[@BeamTheChao]

For me, when i read SBR for the first time, one thing I loved a lot was that in the background of all the Stuff that happens, theres the simple concept of The Actual Race going on and its this consistant driving force in the part layered underneath all the stuff with Johnny/Gyro, Valentine, the corpse parts etc, and so it created this great flow where no matter what was going on there was this underlying sense of direction, and the fact that there was a physical goal place to be, which eventually becomes almost like childsplay by the end of the part with all the stuff going on. But it really helped ground the part and kept it from being too "dense" to digest if you understand me. Also when I opened up the first chapter and I saw the first character introduced was a baller native american guy I knew the part was gonna hit different!

[@batuchthebruh5165]

I've had my gripes with this part, mainly for Araki making shortcuts such as Johnny knowing race being about the body parts or how The World works within 2 seconds but only reason I was able to forget it all was because of Gyro and Jojo's dynamic-- but mainly Gyro, he is a badass. This whole part reminded me of that one scene in Stardust Crusaders when Polnaref and Kakyoin did the handshake. I think it was also great to have "Hamon" as well as stands too, it added a lot of variety.

[@ihatehandleupdate]

Thank you, I haven't seen anyone point out the World thing online. It threw me off so much because the crusaders had chapters dedicated to figure out what The World does and then Johnny automatically assumes it can stop time. Like bruh, poor Kakyoin didn't die for that.

[@projekttaku1]

@@ihatehandleupdate not just that it can stop time, he correctly guesses, with barely any knowledge, that its around 5 seconds. Even Joseph, with Kakyoin's deduction, didn't figure that out, and its passed off as something minor in SBR.

@@ihatehandleupdate I actually like it. I can understand why some people may not like it, as its quite fan servicey (seriously he has the exact same stand and performs the same moves), but it gives closure to George Joestar saying Johnny could never beat Diego, as he actually couldn't, but it didn't matter cause George was still proud of Johnny and Diego, quite literally, was defeated because of himself, cause he was too drunk on power. Plus at least its an alt world Diego, so SM Diego isn't revived and negates his death, plus it was kind of sad how little effect Dio's counterpart actually had in SBR, so it was a fitting end to the "Diego/Johnny rivalry" parallel.

[@thetoastedpotato1618]

Part 7 is my second favourite manga of all time behind Berserk. It is such a human story with flawed individuals who are governed by their own principles. Some have their own desires while some extend to many other people. It is this genuine humanity and heart to the story which is why it resonates with me so much.

But Johnny is easily the most flawed Joestar, driven by selfish motivations that only benefit him which is contrasted against Valentine's whose goals are more selfless. It's a complete inversion of all the tropes governing the previous 6 parts. Johnny is the most human Joestar because he is the most flawed and acts the most realistic out of any of them.

[@Unhappytimeaper]

I have to say that is genuinely SBR biggest flaw as of now with people overtalking it so much that there is somewhat too much of expecations. In terms of story itself it's not my favorite part but the use of Gyro and Johnny do make it well worth it and it has compelling parts. Will I say its my favorite-- probably not but I did enjoy it a lot its just the pressure that is placed on it now becomes hard to truly keep the expecations unless something like a western is up your alley.

Not in the physical sense... but in the adolescence to adulthood sort of way..after meeting that man,'Gyro zeppeli' who was full of mysteries from beginning to end. My name is Johnny Joestar." for me even if it was not a western its how the relationship of johhny and gyro grows to a level where gyro and johnny treat each other like strangers but at the end are treating each other how family would. i hope if sbr is animated they can live up to the manga. although part 6 is still my favorite part to date just due to much i liked fallowing around the main cast but for its own merits steel ball run is better in many ways too. I hope Hirohiko Araki the best if he ever moves into anything else then jojo's bizarre adventures and hope he can stay happy with with he works with and stays healthy. and for those who are reading this,i want to thank you a part of the jojo community for reading this and supporting araki's works.

The way Araki illustrates the human spirit in part 7 for the lack of a better term. The main focus is character growth and how the characters within SBR express themselves when faced with a challenge or shortcoming. And how they approach all these challenges and setbacks is where these characters find their growth. And because Araki applies this theme to both the protagonists and antagonists, it creates this incredibly unique human epic/drama

[@remforrest]

I was happy to finally read part 7 last year and I loved it. No way any part could beat it until Part 8, imo. I loved Steel Ball Run but Jojolion was just my type of story, I love the mysteries and the Town of Morio is nice to revist. The characters all around are great and the main Jojo was so well thought out. Between him and Jonny I would probably choose Johnny in stand power and Gyro was a great 2nd main character. But the stand sot and walet go beyond was crazy even compared to Tusk act IV

[@TheRulersBack18]

Those 60 page, text based chapters can definitely get a bit rough lol; but man, Jojo's is just such a ride when you're fully into it. Absolute fuckin peak fiction

[@alexthegs2624]

Nah dude the final diego fights sucked ass lol

[@Scarshadow666]

@@72Null Yeah, part of me wonders how that would adapt in anime form, and here's hoping they find a clever way to work around those parts (having some narrative-heavy moments in some manga/novels can be okay, but it's something not easy to adapt into other mediums). 0_0

It's really hard to talk about Steel Ball Run without spoiling anything. I'm a few months late, but my man, you did damn good job of it.

[@harunoshiobana235]

I used to think its overrated but when i read it it was really worth

[@airbornefame-69]

Dont forget the jesus cameo bro

[@insertnamehere5769]

This is very compelling

[@prabh4489]

Steel ball run feels like a Tarantino movie

[@percymacdonald6657]

Have to say kudos on managing to talk about SBR like this without spoiling anything.

[@Showmedacarfax]

Definitely would like a more in-depth look at SBR. It has so much depth

[@superdenzie1578]

Peak fiction raw swag is the perfect way to describe SBR

[@Ciythed_2]

I just finished Steel Ball Run 5 minutes ago and I want to cry so bad

[@JotaroKujoh]

reason: gyro

[@PersonstuckinMichigan]

i love how we already have a full soundtrack for SBR.

[@twizzy7529]

SBR is one of the first mangas I’ve ever read and it is beautiful in every possible way

[@Reppen555]

Also part 7 is the first jojo part to use something Else then just hamon or stands. Like spin and even People like sandmann is insanely quick despite not being a stand user.

[@bean0241]

Yo Kaleb u should do a vid on what would have happened if Jonathan accepted Dio's offer and became a vampire with Dio when Erina already escaped.

[@Joestargirl]

Looking forward to Gyro! New to part 7!

[@red_spect3r833]

Gyro: "Ah, the Golden Rectangle!"

[@Aeg1sArmor]

Araki did not have to make gyro this drip

[@infin4t3_v01d]

I’m being honest: we are not ready for an anime adaption, nor are we worth it 🙏🏻

[@kailo4016]

please do make an indepth video about part 7, going over at least the main characters how they learn and develop over the part

[@j.angelo257]

Gyro vs. ringo roadagain/mandom battle for me, is one of the craziest or, most ridiculous battles in manga. Tbh, that villain of the week could become a main antagonist maybe because of the weird ability or just some good writing

[@tysondennis1016]

Part 7 needs to be animated now.

[@NegronAngel2828]

I just finished It yesterday the timing is great

[@Billby990]

Bro sbr is gonna benefit so much from the anime when it comes out. Sbr is my favorite jojo part, but I can’t lie the spin and some of the other stands are complicated to read sometimes. This part will benefit greatly from just being animated and having motion

[@revenantronin8377]

Recently, I've been binging JoJo's content on KZbin and I've only ever read Part 1 (couldn't even finish it). Downloaded Jotaro's part (Part 3?) and the Star Dust Crusaders, it's been close to half a year now and I've still not watched past the introduction arc. I want to get into it, but I seem to always get disinterested whenever I make up my mind... I think it will be easier to get into Steel Ball Run tho... It seems to have the easiest to get into with its solid pacing and the premise of the story being rather simple with great character writing (from all the snippets I've seen). Hopefully, I can get into the JoJo groove after finishing this part, since it is its own story from a parallel universe to the main one.

[@rafeymueller5448]

ive been looking to buy this in stores for months but the comic and manga stores only have the volumes up to golden wind

[@topcat59]

Great vid bro.😺

[@sevenless2143]

Video idea: What if the requiem arrow pierced killer queen and not Kira himself?

[@mr.krinkle952]

Funny Valentine has been my favorite JoJo villain since I've read it. I wanna know why but it's just something about him.

[@saulgoodcat9425]

I swear i saw this video month ago. This must be the work of enemy stand

[@ronniescrazyadventures2478]

Kaleb finally talks about the manga

[@otterfire4712]

Steel Ball Run kept its cast tight so the characters have better chances to shine and carry loads of depth. The overall story uses the Steel Ball Run race as a means of progressing the story. The further Johnny and Gyro travel, the more they learn about themselves, the race, and who organized the race. Both significantly grow from their adventure, they triumph and share in the sorrows as the race progresses. The villains and antagonists are equally compelling and have their own goals that they've set out for the race. The powers and techniques used in the story are wild and tell a lot about the characters who use them.
