STEEL BALL RUN JoJo's Bizarre Adventure - March 19 Premiere Date, New Main Trailer and Visuals

Since debuting in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1986, Hirohiko Araki's "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" has captivated readers worldwide with its singular style and unparalleled world-building, surpassing 120 million copies in circulation. The characters' iconic poses, innovative onomatopoeia, and unforgettable lines have come to define its overwhelming originality, spanning adaptations across anime, video games, stage musicals, and a live-action film. The latest manga arc, "The JOJOLands (Part 9)," is currently serialized in Ultra Jump.

At Jump Festa 2026, STEEL BALL RUN JoJo's Bizarre Adventure announced its exclusive Netflix premiere date: March 19, 2026, beginning with a special 47-minute "1st STAGE" episode. A brand-new main trailer and fresh character visuals were also revealed, including Sand Man and Pocoloco. The series reunites the creative team behind prior anime adaptations.

Set in late 19th-century America, STEEL BALL RUN follows the first transcontinental horse race across North America. The story centers on Johnny Joestar, a former horse-racing prodigy who lost the use of his legs, and Gyro Zeppeli, an enigmatic outlaw determined to win at any cost. Drawn together by intertwined fates and hidden motives, the pair form an alliance and embark on a perilous journey - an unprecedented race where every stage brings new danger.

SAKAMOTO DAYS - Season 2 Confirmed; Teaser Trailer and New Art Released

Ordinary meets extraordinary in the action series SAKAMOTO DAYS. Once the greatest hitman feared by villains and revered by peers, Taro Sakamoto fell in love and retired from his notorious past. Now a plus-sized family man running a mom-and-pop store, he fends off relentless assassin attacks to protect his peaceful life.

Season 1, now streaming on Netflix, spent 10 consecutive weeks in the Global Top 10 (Non-English Series) list, building a worldwide following. At Jump Festa 2026, Season 2 was officially confirmed for global release on Netflix, accompanied by a new teaser trailer and key art.

The extraordinary blend of everyday life and over-the-top action that defines SAKAMOTO DAYS is back, as Sakamoto once again faces wave after wave of assassins to protect the peaceful days he holds dear.

ONE PIECE Live Action Season 2 - Ikue Ōtani (Chopper) and Yuriko Yamaguchi (Miss All Sunday) Join the Japanese Dub

Eiichiro Oda's ONE PIECE, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, remains one of Japan's most iconic and world-renowned manga, following Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates on their voyage to find the legendary treasure left by Gol D. Roger: the fabled One Piece.

Season 2 of the live-action adaptation will take place on the perilous seas of the Grand Line, where pirates from all over the world gather, the weather turns unpredictable, and unimaginable creatures defy the laws of nature. The journey unfolds through Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Twin Cape, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island, ultimately leading to the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Two legendary voice actors - who have voiced their characters since their first appearance in the anime - will join the Japanese dub cast for Season 2: Ikue Ōtani will reprise her role as Tony Tony Chopper, the Straw Hat crew's beloved "doctor" met on the wintry island nation of Drum Island; and Yuriko Yamaguchi as Miss All Sunday, the mysterious vice president and chief intelligence officer of the secret criminal organization Baroque Works.

Fans can expect an adventure that surpasses the scale of Season 1 - a new dawn for this monumental project.
