A 100% Steel Ball Run Ichiban Kuji (and you can practically smell the race)
The new lottery Ichiban Kuji JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run has been officially announced, and it goes straight for the hearts of Part 7 fans: the great race across America, its impossible alliances, and its twists that leave you stunned. Here, the lineup is race-centered: Johnny Joestar, Gyro Zeppeli, Lucy Steel, Steven Steel… and a Last One that hits hard on the rivalry side.
The revealed prizes (MASTERLISE + one very on-point item)
For now, prizes A through E are detailed (with HD visuals), and we also know the Last One as well as the Double Chance (same character). Prizes F through J haven’t been revealed yet, so I won’t make stuff up: we’re waiting for the official info.
- Theme: JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure — Steel Ball Run (Part 7, trans-American race)
- Big focus: MASTERLISE (A, B, C, D + Last One)
- Confirmed characters: Johnny Joestar, Gyro Zeppeli, Lucy Steel, Steven Steel, Diego Brando
- Keep an eye on : prizes F through J are still a “mystery” (not officially revealed)
Prize A: Johnny Joestar MASTERLISE (approx. 13 cm)
Johnny is the heart of Steel Ball Run: the ex-jockey who enters the race and gets pulled into everything surrounding the competition’s stakes. Having him in MASTERLISE with a stated height of about 13 cm makes him a compact but “main hero” piece of the Kuji, clearly designed to pair with Gyro as a duo.
Prize B: Gyro Zeppeli MASTERLISE (approx. 25 cm)
Gyro is the ally who becomes indispensable during the race: instant charisma, a recognizable style, and above all everything that defines Part 7. Here, the Kuji gives him serious presence with a MASTERLISE listed at about 25 cm — clearly the “large format” of the revealed lineup, perfect for representing the competitor who leaves his mark on Steel Ball Run’s story.
Prize C: Slow Dancer MASTERLISE (approx. 25 cm)
Slow Dancer is Johnny’s horse — and in Steel Ball Run, mounts aren’t just background: the race, the stages, the strategies… everything runs through them. Getting Slow Dancer in MASTERLISE (about 25 cm) is a genuinely original lineup choice: it’s not “just characters,” it anchors the Kuji in the very concept of Part 7.
Prize D: Lucy Steel MASTERLISE (approx. 21 cm)
Lucy Steel is a key character in Steel Ball Run: she’s not just “in the race,” she’s at the center of what’s unfolding around the organizers and the stakes that go far beyond the rankings. The MASTERLISE listed at about 21 cm puts her on the level of a true major Kuji piece, not a secondary prize.
Prize E: Steven Steel — storage (approx. 20 cm)
Steven Steel is the race organizer: the one who sets the “official” framework for the event, with all the logistics, rules, and pressure that come with the Steel Ball Run. Prize E goes for a useful item (a storage piece) with a stated size of about 20 cm — and the character choice fits perfectly with the “race organization” theme.
Last One: Diego Brando MASTERLISE (approx. 25 cm) + Double Chance
Diego Brando is the rival who cranks the “race + danger” vibe up to another level in Steel Ball Run. Making him the Last One in MASTERLISE (about 25 cm) is an ultra-telling choice: it’s exactly the kind of piece you want to snag at the end of the lottery… or via the Double Chance (announced for the same Diego Brando MASTERLISE).
Note: prizes F, G, H, I and J are still not officially revealed. The page simply says we’ll have to wait for more info.
Practical info: Ichiban Kuji JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Steel Ball Run goes on in-store sale starting June 27, 2026 (rolling release). Price: 850 yen (tax included). Announced distribution: Lawson and other retailers (depending on store, limited quantities, ends when sold out).
If you collect Part 7, remember this above all: this Kuji isn’t messing around—it drops Steel Ball Run’s pillars right away with MASTERLISE and a “rival” Last One that’s going to go fast.
