I don't think Rohan can do things that conceptual and open ended like that, things that require knowledge to beamed into their brain with no outside source;'. He sends Koichi flying back really fast and teaches him Italian, but all of those are things Koichi could have and would have done if he had put the time or if a sudden force had acted upon him. Writing down in Jotaro "You know who and where the man once called Yoshikage Kira is and was" would probably be the same as writing "You know if God is real and if they stay in Heaven because they too fear what they've created", there's just no way for that to happen.

If Rohan knew who Kira was, he could definitely write "You know Kosaku is Kira", but nothing akin to just being struck with information

Is there any difference between that and just literally teaching someone a whole language though? It's still inserting information despite having no real source for it, unless Rohan wrote a whole dictionary including phonetics and proper phrase structure into Koichi's head.

In which case, wow, that thing has a lot of space.

Yeah, what bugs me is that his job is part of his quiet life, it's his alibi, his mask, the place where he blends in. Hell he's respected there, women want to eat with him, guys try to drink with him. He even calls his boss in the middle of the final fight to say he'll be late. So "miserable" just feels out of character to me

Someone mentioned that this was Kira's new job, but he's also calling it in, because he doesn't want to get in poo poo or get fired for being late, thereby drawing attention from his wife. Plus, Kira suggests that Kosasu was a huge kiss rear end and Kosasu calling would be something he would have done.

I don't think Kira really cared about his work, other than the fact that it let him enjoy his lifestyle that he wanted and gave him the money to live in a decent house and to go on picnics with severed hands.

Finally, Kira's english voice actor is drat near perfect.

Maybe Rohan speaks Italian, and that by itself is enough?

Like he's constantly doing research for his comics, so clearly what he knows / has experienced matters to him. It would be appropriate if that's how his power worked, too.

Rohan based a manga on Koichi's memories. Clearly he went out of his way to learn Italian in order to portray Tonio as accurately as possible.

What if Rohan wrote on Jotaro that he could stop time as long as he wanted?

Jotaro would be totally unstoppable, of course, but Rohan would never do that because if he did Jotaro could hypothetically draw a manga chapter faster than the great Rohan Kishibe, and that just won't loving stand.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Re: Heaven’s Door’s limitations, maybe it only applies to skills/things you can or can’t do? I.e. Speakinf fluent Italian is a skill, so Rohan could write in that Koichi could do that, but couldn’t write that Koichi knows the meaning of the word “Arrivederci”?

There's an alternate universe where Rohan goes to Italy instead of Koichi and after meeting Giorno he stays for entirety of Part 5 in order to get as much material for his manga as possible.

Rohan would refuse immortality because he can't write a character dying until he himself has experienced it. Once he beats up enough folks in the afterlife to return, then maybe he'd consider living forever.

I remember that they cut that scene of Joseph asking Rohan if Pink Dark Boy had an English translation. Rohan doesn't think it's a stupid question, though. He says something to the effect of, "Well, there was a French translation but I'm not sure why you Americans don't have it yet. I suppose it must be due to lovely taste." :v:

But based on their interaction during the RPS Kid arc, I think that Joseph is the only other person in the Morioh gang that Rohan respects other than Koichi.

My favorite Rohan moment comes from the Oingo Boingo Brothers Adventure one-shot comic where Rohan writes the afterword and over the course of a few pages he praises Boingo's unique art style, realizes that Thoth actually does all the work, and starts raging at how he's a superior mangaka and shouldn't have to speak well of someone that he thinks is untalented. In the fictional world of Jojo's the physical release of the comic is an actual thing and somehow saw print with Rohan self-aggrandizing contribution included.

Rohan could’ve written “I know where Kira is and what his new identity is” and found Kira

But taking shortcuts like that would make him a bad mangaka so he refused
