when does funny valentine appear

Funny Valentine is a major character from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run , and he appears partway into that story rather than at the very beginning.

When does Funny Valentine appear?

In the original Steel Ball Run manga, Funny Valentine is introduced after the race and its main competitors are already established; he is revealed as the mastermind behind the Steel Ball Run and the 23rd President of the United States in that universe. He becomes the central antagonist once the plot shifts from “just a cross‑country race” to a conflict over the Saint’s Corpse and the political power it represents.

Put simply: you won’t see him right at the start—he shows up once the story has laid enough groundwork for his role as the hidden boss pulling strings behind the scenes.
