Steel Ball Run Episode 2 debuts, ending theme uses horse sound effects

comicsSep 26, 202623220

Steel Ball Run Episode 2 debuted and its ending theme foregrounds prominent horse sound effects, which prompted a flurry of viewer-created edits and remixes. Many posts zero in on Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli imagery and the episode landing on the in-universe start of the race, with at least one cosplayer celebrating that exact moment. Multiple people re-scored the outro, syncing the visuals to A Hazy Shade of Winter, The Distance, Black Hole Sun, and The Chain, while some critics called both the opening and ending misfires and one post called out the original ending as produced by Dr Luke. A few viewers also dug into Japanese lyric phrasing, searching phrases like "high-horsepower horse" to parse the new outro's wordplay.

It’s Steel Ball Run Day! Not only is the next set of episodes starting today, but it’s the in-universe start of the race too! 🐎 📸: @sharmashari.bsky.social Cosplay by me Belt buckle STL: hexerik #Cosplay #SteelBallRun #JJBA

Mar is dressed as Diego Brando from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run. She wears a teal turtleneck with a yellow grid pattern, beige jodhpurs, a belt with a gold buckle that says “DIO”, brown leather gloves, brown riding boots with silver spurs, and a teal riding helmet that says “DIO” in gold letters. She has yellow blond hair down to her collarbones and anime bangs. She is riding a palomino horse with a large white blaze on its face and a teal bridle that matches the sweater. They stand in a field dramatically backlit with golden hour lighting.

checking out the japanese response to those steel ball run ED lyrics by typing in 馬力強い馬/"high-horsepower horse," and so far, so good

youtu.be/HkxNIl5AGpc I had to take matters into my own hands. Here is the Steel Ball Run ED visuals very lightly edited to fit with A Hazy Shade of Winter by Simon and Garfunkel

One week later still shaking off the most stressful weekend ever (lost my house keys, had to crash at a friend’s, landlord was pissed, had to miss half of an art market I was supposed to table at the next day). BUT I have another market tomorrow. And steel ball run is back 🤤

Both the Steel Ball Run opening and ending are whiffs for me, music choices don't land and the animation and style are nice, both are overcooked for what they need to be.

The opening feels more like a game intro or really snazzy promotional trailer, not a weekly TV show you're going to watch a dozen times and the best JoJo endings have been basically scrolls or pans

I think the opening is....fine, but fine doesn't cut it when your series is known for banger openings. Ending is an instant skip every single time.

I guess they spent so much time on those 3D models, they might as well get as much as they can out of them.
