Anime Like STEEL BALL RUN JoJo's Bizarre Adventure 2nd - 3rd STAGE
The desert doesn't just kill you, it reveals what you already were.

The race becomes a trial where every mile costs something irreplaceable, and the thing hunting them understands their Stand users better than they understand themselves.
SYNOPSIS
Johnny Joestar and Gyro Zeppeli push deeper into a brutal 750-mile desert crossing as the Steel Ball Run continues into its second stage. What begins as a high-stakes horse race transforms into something far more sinister when they enter the Devil's Palm, a stretch of wasteland where an entire cavalry unit vanished without explanation fifty years prior. Local inhabitants refuse to speak of it, fear hanging heavy in the air like dust. As Johnny and Gyro journey through the unforgiving landscape, reality itself becomes unstable. Supernatural forces emerge from the sand. Bodies pile up. Fellow competitors fall to inexplicable fates, and neither racer can trust what they're witnessing. Someone, or something, doesn't want them to reach the finish line, and every person they meet carries secrets that could rewrite the entire race. The competition strips away to reveal a deeper game. Hidden agendas collide. Johnny and Gyro must outrun not just their rivals, but forces that defy explanation, while uncovering why this particular stretch of desert holds such deadly power.
