jojo's bizarre adventure It is one of the biggest animation franchises in the world. The series is divided into several parts, each with its own protagonists and villains. Currently, Araki is writing the ninth and final part of the manga.
But the animation is only the seventh part. JoJo: Steel Ball Run. The anime adaptation of Steel Ball Run has already been announced and is scheduled to air in 2026. In addition to the anime release, JoJo fans can also look forward to a special project from Hirohiko Araki.
Hirohiko Araki's new book is scheduled to be published in 2026.
The new book will include Araki's instructions on how to create a villain.

Biz Media's official X (formerly Twitter) account confirmed that another art book will be released in 2026. The book is written by Hirohiko Araki, and the manuscript will include instructions on how the author creates the villain.
There's no exact date at the time of writing, but fans could get their hands on the book sometime in the summer of 2026. Araki's new manual will help budding writers create antagonists for their own works.
Steel Ball Run is scheduled for release in 2026.
As previously mentioned, the Steel Ball Run animation is currently in production by David Production. Fans do not need to worry about the quality of the animation, as the studio was responsible for the animation of all previous parts. As always, a handful of teasers have been shared with the audience and so far, everything seems to be going well.
The Still Ball Run anime is scheduled for release in 2026, with some reports suggesting it will air in March or April of the same year. Of course, animation production may be delayed if the crew is unable to complete production within the allotted time. If the anime is indeed delayed, it could be released in the fall of 2026.
Some fans are concerned about Steel Ball Run's release schedule. Still Ball Run was handled by Netflix, and the streaming website chose to release episodes in batches, killing fans' momentum. We had to wait months to get the next batch of episodes. Let's hope Netflix doesn't make the same mistake again and releases episodes every week so fans can watch the anime every week.
The Steel Ball Run animation is scheduled to air exclusively on Netflix in 2026.
