So, you're itching to know when Stone Ocean, that's Jojo Part 6, will finally grace our screens again? You're not alone! We're all collectively waiting for the next wave of bizarre adventure.
The Great Stone Ocean Drought (and the eventual downpour!)
Think back. Stone Ocean, starring the awesome Jolyne Cujoh, initially dropped in December 2021. It was a Christmas miracle... sort of! Because then, BAM! Split into batches.
We got the first 12 episodes then had to wait. It felt like an eternity, right? We were all refreshing Netflix, hoping for a sign, a crumb, anything.
The second batch, episodes 13-24, arrived in September 2022. More Jolyne kicking butt in prison! But the thirst wasn't quenched; we needed more.
The Final Splash!
Finally, the last 12 episodes, 25-38, splashed onto Netflix in December 2022. It was the end of the line for Stone Ocean's anime adaptation.
So, technically, Jojo Part 6 *has* already come out! It's all there, ready for your viewing pleasure. Prepare yourself for some truly wild Stand battles.
But Wait! What About Beyond Stone Ocean?
Okay, okay, I hear you. You're thinking, "But what about Part 7? What about Steel Ball Run and beyond?!" That's the big question, isn't it?
Unfortunately, there's no official announcement yet about when Steel Ball Run will get an anime adaptation. The suspense is killing us, just like a Stand attack from a sneaky user.
The good news? The Jojo anime is incredibly popular! Given its success, it's highly likely that David Production will continue adapting the manga. It's just a matter of "when," not "if."
Decoding the Jojo Tea Leaves
Predicting release dates is a fool's game, but we can speculate! Looking at the gaps between previous seasons, we might be waiting a couple of years.
Animation takes time, especially when you're dealing with the dynamic action and intricate character designs of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. They pour so much love and detail into each frame!
Think of it like aging a fine wine…or maybe brewing a perfect cup of Italian coffee. Good things come to those who wait (and binge-watch Stone Ocean in the meantime!).
What To Do While We Wait?
First, rewatch Stone Ocean! There are details you probably missed the first time around. Appreciate Jolyne's strength, the ridiculousness of the Stands, and the sheer heart of the story.
Dive into the manga! You can get a head start on the storylines that haven't been animated yet. Be warned: Steel Ball Run is a wild ride!
Most importantly, connect with the Jojo community! Share your theories, fan art, and favorite moments. We're all in this bizarre adventure together!

So, while we don't have a concrete date for the next installment, one thing's for sure: the Jojo legacy will continue. Keep the faith, keep the memes flowing, and get ready for the next bizarre chapter!
