Howdy! New episode tonight at 7pm!
Episode 'D4C' will cover chapters 71 through 75 (and a tiny part of 76). About an hour length special.
I know I've taken a while to release stuff but, I think I've enjoyed the growth in quality since I went on break, theres just so much I want to capture and portray. Unfortunately my summer is about to end, I begin work again in 3 days. Uploads will be slow after today until my break, rest assured, my year old promise will be kept. I will finish this Steel Ball Run project and immediately work on JoJolion afterwards.
Again, thank you, truly. For the endless emotional support and constructive feedback. I appreciate your time and kind words. Thank you for being here with me throughout this journey. I hope I have made the manga an enjoyable way to read for the first time, or a good re-read for you.
Love you guys!
Please take care and have a wonderful day.

Howdy my fellow Steel Ball Run enjoyers!
New episode this Friday at noon :)
JoJo Friday RAGGGHHHHHHHHH
TLDR: Love you guys, I'm taking my time but I will finish the series as promised, taking long because I want it to be as good as it possibly can. And yes I'm gonna work on JoJolion when I finish SBR.
To catch some of you up to speed who havent watched my livestream editing process:
(Editing takes a HOT minute cause im always learning other ways I can improve)
It has been quite some time since my last community post. As you're well aware, I've been busy with teaching for the past year, while I haven't been uploading as much, just wanted to say I'm still working on finishing SBR and have no intention of stopping, while I was away I poured my heart out out every minute I could towards working on the series .
While I may be taking much longer than I intended, I do personally feel like there is much growth in my recent uploads compared to my work before I went on hiatus. As always, I've never worried myself about the likes or subscribers. For those of you who have stuck around since the beginning, you know I love doing this for you and for me. I truly feel like I've grown as a person and as en editor since I started this journey of working on the series.
I fully plan to work on JoJolion immediately as soon as I finish SBR. However, kind reminder that this is my passion project, not my job, as per usualy I do apologize for taking long in between uploads. I simply want to do my best and still prioritize my teaching career.
I've spent thousands out of my own pocket on my setup to render 4k videos and on my sound licenses. When I get around to JoJolion, I fully intend on hiring japanese voice actors and translators. I don't know how much I'll spend in the long run but, I'm okay with it. I may open a patreon but, I have no intention of making a profit. I just want to be able to tip the VAs, and the youtubers I've borrowed content from :)
Overall, I just want to have fun with series, and it makes me happy that I can provide you a way to experience JoJo while we wait for the anime.
So thank you for letting me be part of your lives through this series. I wholeheartedly appreciate your kindness and constructive criticism. I love yall š«¶š»

Howdy Steel Ball Run Enthusiasts!
Apologies for the hiatus, long story:
I have been very busy with my first year teaching. But, just wanted to let y'all know I still work on this every saturday on my free time. And, here's an example (from episode 20) that I've done a while ago to show you what I mean by I have been "working on it". I photoshop and redraw in the panels when there's and overlap so that you can fluidly read each panel. I have done this up until chapter 80, I have just 15 chapters to go and I can finally continue editing. I have full intention of finishing the series, and the new goal is to finish by summer 2024 :)
If I am able to do that, I would like to potentially begin tackling cropping out every panel for JoJolion so I can swiftly begin with the next part.
For the current panels that I have completed of SBR, I have gone ahead and upscaled the resolution so that the words aren't blurry, and I can make the future episodes potentially a crisp and smooth 4k.
I am saving up for a super computer (I'm buying all the parts around late October) so I can work on continuing to animate the final FINAL outro for the seires, and so my computer can stop crashing when I have all these transitions on premiere pro with all the high res panels lol. I genuinely want to end my series with a bang.
So yes, I will pour in my whole heart into continuing to edit, making more transitions, and absolutely buying sound effects licenses so that way i can do my best to give you a real JoJos experience. And a friendly reminder that this is just one big passion project from me, I apologize for the wait. Just be aware that I am more than happy to take my time so that I can give you the best that I can. And yes, despite having met the requirements, SBR will not be monetized. I wholeheartedly just want everyone to experience/revisit SBR with fresh eyes. It is my favorite part, and I hope to help more people adore it as much as I do.
Lastly, I just want to give a shout-out to āŖ@RoundaboutStudiosā¬
They are amazing, sometimes I have had doubts in what I made, or even in the quality of what I have done.
They are an awesome group of people that have given so much love to their SBR Dub series.
If you love my videos, I would highly recommend watching their videos.
They are what has been inspiring me to do better, and do much much more for this channel, and I will be forever grateful for that. Their group of passionate JoJo fans is what I aspire to be, to continue my passion and spread positivity.
Thank you to all of you, who believe in me.
You are the reason I keep doing my best. Not just for the channel but, for myself.
Thank you, it truly means a lot.
Please take care my friend :)
Sincerely, Jorge

Howdy yāall!!
Important channel update!!!!
Hereās the spark notes version:
Me get job, me will be busy. SBR Series not dead. Series will be on pause until winter break or next summer. Iāll still work on it when I can and stream the editing on my alt channel āā āŖ@Artist_Jorgeā¬
Iām FINISHING it, I promise. Just like I said I would earlier this year :)
Hereās the full version:
As some of you know already. I graduated a while back with my bachelorās, hit a JoJo pose on stage, you guys cheered me on and Iām so thankful for it. I went job hunting, got a job. And now Iām starting my career in education soon in one month. Iāll be an elementary teacher. Iām both exited and nervous to be a first year teacher. A bunch of my time will be building my curriculum and yāknow, my job, and I wanna enjoy my personal life too. I still wanna make time for art, traveling, etc.
Iāve said this before many times but this is just a fun hobby. Please be aware that it takes me a hot minute to put out a video. I truly wanna do my best for the series. Hope you understand the soon to be hiatus.
For any of you that would like to read ahead: please do. I never had the intent to gain a big following.
My only one goal was to have more of you read SBR or enjoy a re-read. If I accomplished that. Then Iām happy :)
I donāt mind the views or subs dropping.
Iām just thankful I could have helped in your viewing experience. And I would HIGHLY recommend and would heavily appreciate it if you checked out Ichi Joestar, heās how I personally read SBR, and JoJolion.
Iāll be on hiatus until winter break or next summer. But!!
I donāt intend to stop right now. Iām still working on episode 19 and 20. Thank you for taking your time to read this my friend, love you homies.
Please take care.
Sincerely, Jorge.

Howdy!
Today, I would like to say thank you everyone. For your support, encouragement, and endless kindness.
For that, I truly cannot thank you enough.
Tomorrow morning I graduate with my bachelorās degree in education. Itās been a hectic last few weeks but, after tomorrow, I will pour out my heart and soul into finishing the SBR series before the end of this summer. Thus, thank you for your patience, as I promise you will definitely be rewarded with hella videos these next few months. And yes, episode 13 will be next Friday.
If I finish episodes sooner Iāll do double episode releases every Friday!
Just wanted to share with yāall my cap and gown that I decorated. And hereās the livestream to my campus that Iāll be graduating from :)
youtube.com/live/UuiFZORqr-o?feature=share
My name is Jorge Carrasco. You guys can just call me Jorge. If you stop by my graduation livestream tomorrow morning, you can feel more than welcome to say āGo Go JoJo!ā in their live chat, it would mean the world to me! Again love you guys, see you this upcoming JoJo Friday!

Howdy SBR enthusiasts!!
First, a couple of things. For starters, thank you for believing in me. I passed my certification exams. When I graduate in one month from university, I will officially be a certified teacher and finally get my bachelorās degree. So thank you, for your kind and encouraging words, for myself, and for the channel. Iām happy to be able to show my growth as an individual and as a creator.
Second, despite my current efforts, ep12 will have to be delayed till next Friday, on April 21st for a few reasons.
1. Iām waiting to hear back so I can get permission to use a different outro for the *following* episode.
Because at the end of the Mandom arc, we will be a bit over a third of the entirety of SBR, I would like to consider it the end of āseasonā one.
So for ep13 I will use a different visual outro.
2. Because episode 12 will have about 3 chapters of SBR, itāll be the whole Mandom arc, itās going to be a 50min episode. I do not think Iāll be able to finish by this Friday. Earliest I can drop it is April 21st.
3. Because it is going to be a long episode, I want to do my best to conclude the first āseasonā. However, as Iāve stated previously, since ep7, there will be times I need to take two weeks due to my busy schedule with school and work.
Hope you guys understand, and well. Hope youāll enjoy ep12 when I finish it. I can promise rn itāll be one of my favorite arcs, and Iām going to do my best as usual š
Love yāall, have a wonderful day. And thank you for being here with me on my journey of growth my friends. I hope to continue making reading Steel Ball run a memorable experience for you.

Howdy fellow SBR enjoyers,
A few personal things and channel news!
Transitioning to teaching elementary has been smooth, love working with all the students.
There's a lot of work I usually have to do for my student-teaching so I can graduate college this May.
Thus far, the week has been going amazing, and I have a lot more time on my hands now that I am publishing once every two weeks. I passed my first exam, and over my spring break I'll work on studying for my final teachers exam. It's coming up on March 20th, once I pass that, I can obtain my certification and begin my career job this Fall.
After my graduation in May, I'll return to weekly uploads.
Everything is going great right now :)
And big news, a really cool person reached out to me a few weeks ago and he's been working on the French Version of these videos and using the French translated panels. āŖ@raphackā¬ has been working really hard on 'em and I think he's doing a great job thus far. Definitely check out the French Version at āŖ@steelballrunvfā¬
Show him some love, I truly appreciate his help, so that other fans who don't speak English can still ultimately get the SBR experience. So thank you to Raphack, he's now on the end credits for his hard work.
If any of you are bilingual and are wanting to re-do my videos in another language such as Spanish, you are more than welcome to use my video/audio and I am more than happy to credit you too. While I did come up with the idea of simulating the episodes, all I ask is that you credit all the other creators exactly as Raphack has done.
Because I am using borrowed content, always credit the creators, it IS their work after all. Please respect that.
So again, major shoutout to Gwinn, Vettis, Nico Bellisario, Trox Edits, Cymorg Comics, and Ichi Joestar.
This truly could not have been possible without them.
Lastly, I have just recently finished Episode 8 and as I am writing this, it has finished rendering.
So I wanted to say thank you, truly, for your patience.
Episode 8 consists of chapters 22-24, meaning after this Friday we will have officially finished over 1/4th of SBR!
I hope you tune into this weeks JoJo friday at 5pm!
See you then my friends, thank you for your patience.

Howdy JoJo Steel Ball Run enthusiasts!
BIG NEWS!! A couple of things.
1) For starters. Really, truly. Thank you,
I still absolutely cannot fathom the idea of this many people actually enjoying the videos I have put out.
Like 4400? I honestly did not think I'd push 100 subs when I started this channel.
Wholeheartedly, thank you for the support. It means a lot to me.
Granted, I have no intentions of ever monetizing the videos.
I know YouTube still pushes ads, so I highly encourage you to use an adblocker if you watch my videos.
2) One thing I have been wanting to mention is if you want to donate to me, thank you, but please don't.
I want all of this to be free for you. I'm simply happy making these manga "episodes" for anyone to enjoy.
However, if you really want to donate anything,
I would rather you go to Vettis, Gwinn, Ichi Joestar, or Nico Bellisario and donate to them for their efforts.
Their channels are linked in my bio, you can support them on Patreon or Spotify :)
3) This weeks JoJo Friday will have to be postponed until next Friday.
A bit of personal stuff to share is, I'm currently student teaching and nearing graduating from college.
I'm normally at the High School working from 8am-6pm, not to mention the other tasks I still have to complete for teaching on top of my personal coursework for college I have to complete. It is a requirement for my degree that my last semester is spent in k-12 teaching. This week is getting a little busy as starting next Monday, I will be transitioning from HS to Elementary education. In addition, I'm trying to study towards my teachers certification, and one of my certification exams is coming up this week. While it's been difficult to juggle my work life, school life, personal life, and video editing, I thank you for your patience. Cause I'm not gonna lie, editing takes longer than I want it to, though I think its worth putting the best out for y'all.
4) Lastly, I will still do my best to keep uploading once every Friday, however, depending on my situation these next few weeks, I will switch from Every Friday to once every two weeks. I graduate by Early May, so normal upload schedule will resume by then.
At this pace, I believe SBR will be completed around late July or Mid August. I do apologize if this news upsets any of you, and I understand. Though, I promise the wait will be worth.
Though, I don't need many likes or subs, one supporter is enough to push me forward and doing my best.
I hope you'll be here for the journey my friends, this will be a journey about my growth.

Howdy again guys, just wanna say I love y'all and thank you for the support!!
I really don't know what to say, I truly truly didn't think I would get much views or support other than really close friends of mine. Wholeheartedly, thank you for 700 subs, I really can't even fathom that amount of people watching my videos. I ain't gonna lie, that makes me sorta nervous? I don't want to let anyone down.
But I think I am doing alright thus far based on yalls comments.
I just wanted to learn how to edit for fun, and do this as a personal project.
But, I am glad that changed and you guys can experience SBR as I did with thanks to the amazing and talented creators on YouTube who also have a passion for SBR.
I know on a video I said I am doing my best to put these out as best as I can and am attempting to do these weekly for JoJo fridays. And I'll do my best to commit to that. Just be aware that I may get busy with school and student teaching in the near future as I get closer to graduating from college these next few months.
I appreciate your patience and I will do my best for you guys as I do for my students :)
As it stands, I am sort of planning out how each episode should end and envisioning how many chapters per "episode" should be for a smooth pace. Please let me know if you have any thoughts on how I should space them out! I'm trying to aim for anywhere in the 25-30min mark (before intro and outro)
Again, sorry for the rambling, and thank you again for the support. It means a lot to me!

Howdy! Iām Jorge, I am a huge JoJo fan.
I make videos for people to re-read or experience Steel Ball Run for the first time.
My videos are not monetized, nor will I ever run ads
Please support the creators listed in the descriptions and end credits, I refuse to take credit for any their work.
This is just a passion project I do on my free time, sorry if my old work is kinda cringe, I've been learning slowly, I hope my more recent videos can reflect my growth :)
Have a wonderful day!
