Gyro Zeppeli with Johnny Joestar in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run manga key art.
Hirohiko Araki's Jojo's Bizarre Adventure has had nine colorful protagonists since its initial release in 1987—but one stands out, for reasons good and bad. Johnny Joestar is the protagonist of Part 7 , the next Jojo part awaiting animation, and he's the first Joestar of the second Jojo universe, kicking off the entire lineage. He's unique in being the first disabled Jojo lead, using a wheelchair and paralyzed from the waist down.
Steel Ball Run inaugurated a new era for the series, setting the foundations for Jojolion and The JOJOLands. Stands stuck around, but Hamon was replaced by Spin as a fundamental life force. Spin is just one example of how Araki used the new universe to tackle more intricate fundamentals: where the first universe often ruminated on the manipulation of space and time, the new universe plays with new fundamental concepts like the golden ratio and the"natural law of calamity".
More than that, because they endure a grueling journey together and so much of the part is based on their dialogue and mutual dependence, readers get to see a very sincere side of both characters. Jojo's lead ensembles in the past tended to rely more on exaggerated personality traits . Steel Ball Run breaks from that to provide two very realistic leads who, by the end, are close friends.
