Steel Ball Run is an outstanding part of JoJo
It's a powerful, emotionally charged arc: Araki's gorgeous art, a fast-paced plot of a race across America, and deep characters like Johnny and Jiro. The story skillfully combines the screwy tactics of battle with the steadfast themes of honor and destiny, and the switch to an alternate universe has refreshed the JoJo universe.
Accessibility for new readers despite its connection to JoJo, the arc is almost self-contained and can be enjoyed without a deep knowledge of the previous parts, but those who have already watched the previous parts will undoubtedly be surprised by the references to previous parts.
