JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure to Reveal New Anime at Special Tokyo Event, Paving the Way for Steel Ball Run

An upcoming JoJo's Bizarre Adventure event was announced, and it's massive news for the franchise. Since its debut in 1987, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has grown to become a beloved franchise with a disproportionate influence on shōnen as fans know and love it today. After a handful of middling OVAs and a mysterious lost Phantom Blood movie, David Production finally brought the series an even greater degree of recognition and success with their masterful adaptation, which premiered in 2012.

In the nearly decade-and-a-half since, David Production's version of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has become synonymous with the identity of the series as a whole. A major fan festival celebrating the history of JoJo's anime was just announced. This should be taken as a huge sign for fans, since it means that the long-awaited adaptation of Steel Ball Run, JoJo's seventh part, might just be confirmed on the horizon.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Announces Major Fan Event

The Announcement Likely Forecasts The Impending Release Of Steel Ball Run

Japanese fans of the franchise can anticipate a brand-new anime event, JOJODAY, to be held on April 12, 2025, per the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure anime's official X account. The event is sure to be huge, planned to be held at the Yoyogi National Stadium. Historically, such fan events have been the venues for the announcement of part adaptations. This trend is likely to continue with 2025's JOJODAY, since the event claims to "connect the past and future" of JoJo's anime.

"Future" is, of course, the notable keyword here. With the promise to connect the future of the anime, it likely means that the event will finally reveal key information about the Steel Ball Run adaptation—and it could possibly even mean a teaser or trailer release, too. Finally, fans of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure can start letting their hopes soar about seeing David Production bring JoJo's second universe brought to life after Stone Ocean's tragic ending to the original universe.
