I guess this explains why there was a Thus Spake Rohan set during Covid. It's this Rohan, not the Part 4 one.

What if this IS Part 4 Rohan and meeting his deadlines on time as the universe was accelerating into infinity let him survive the reset because "gently caress you I'm Rohan!"

Does Rohan have the diamond because there's something more to it? or does Rohan have a priceless diamond because Rohan?

I assume there is no actual diamond and they're actually stealing something else, unbeknownst to them.

Okay, so if I were to hazard a guess as to why he's here from a storytelling perspective, the gang encountering Rohan is gonna kick off the big overarching plot via Heaven's Door. Like he's gonna use it on someone and uncover something weird written in their inner book they weren't aware of and it'll turn into another existential mystery like JoJolion. Alternatively, he's gonna write something into them and they'll have to jump through hoops and go on some big adventure to find away to remove the "curse" from HD interacting weirdly with their souls.

e: Alternatively, they find something really really weird in Rohan's house other than the diamond because he came to Hawaii to investigate something mysterious, because besides having a Stand that can exposit about things and compel people to do stuff, Rohan also has the useful narrative quirk of constantly sticking his nose into the supernatural

I thought the result of the reset was a different universe from the SBRVerse.

it absolutely is because we are way past the point of literally anything lining up between those two in the least in terms of family trees and there's no way this isn't just A New Rohan and possibly likely the one from the miniseries as hypothesized, since that one had always been a bit separate from the part 4 one

It can't be the miniseries rohan, some of those stories had part 4 characters

The One True Oden

Fuuuuck, this part is so good!!

I was hoping that lady was a cop when she busted out the old "cops can't lie if you ask them directly" routine, so glad Araki played that straight. Also I had assumed they did kill those cops before, but apparently not? If they keep coming back and getting beat up, that wouldn't be a bad running gag.

hahahahahahahaahaha Kishibe Rohan is eternal

Goddamn, part 9 is starting out strong.

Also I was just thinking--part 1-3 loosely dealt with Dio and the mystery of the masks and their origin, parts 4-6 dealt with the repercussions of Dio's actions and legacy, with parts 3 and 6 acting as an ultimate culmination of each part triplet. If the SBRverse is following the same pattern then I bet part 9's gonna get real crazy with it by the end

This is hilarious and I very much enjoy how all of our protags (?) have non-punchghost stands.

Also I thought that everyone who didn't die before the universe reset just kind of stuck around? There's no 'alt-universe' version of Rohan because he was still there, doing his thing. Was that fanon?

The people that died during Made In Heaven didn't go to the first reset universe while everyone that lived were thrown into it without any changes. This Rohan wouldn't have been part of that because the Steel Ball Run world is its own thing
