The second and third race stage of JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Steel Ball Run. In the 2nd STAGE, a desert crossing spanning roughly 750 miles- the land that Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli must challenge, is home to the area that is feared as the "Devil's Palm."

As ominous incidents begin to unfold, they are forced to realize that this race is far more than a mere competition. The two press forward, where countless hidden motives collide..
