50 free Steel Ball Run trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Steel Ball Run is the seventh part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, praised for its art, characters and story: a horse race across 1890 America in which a paralysed ex-jockey and a disgraced executioner are hunted by a small army of Stand users. Its Stands are some of the strangest in the saga, with powers that bend time, weather, luck and sound, and many carry names borrowed from rock and pop records. This quiz covers the Stands of Part 7 and who uses them, from the heroes' evolving abilities to the powers of the president's agents, along with the Spin, the race itself, the hunt for a holy relic, and how the manga and its anime adaptation were made. It is written for JoJo fans who want to test how well they remember which power belongs to which rider, and it is fair game for anyone working through the manga or the anime for the first time.
