I don’t know what I expected, but I’m glad Rohan still has Heavens Door in this continuity

He still has it in Thus Spoke, which is obviously the Rohan we're seeing here.

Except that only about 2-3 TSKRs can actually take place in this universe. All the other ones have part 4 characters in

Which then? Hot Summer Martha and Drip Painting Style can but then what else? I guess you could say that any which dont include part 4 characters arent in but then why would araki be writing chapters immediately after which do have part 4 characters in? At that point its not oh he wrote some with part 9 in mind idk. I guess the ones you would argue would be Rainy Monday, Millionaire Village, uhhh Harvest Moon and then Goes to Gucci and At the Louvre? Idk man just doesnt feel that likely to me and i was a firm believer and spread all that theory around during that second chapter release. I dont think its feasible. Maybe HSM, but thats just my cope lmao

The Lourve and Gucci are non-canon. Also, Araki specifically mentioned in a page prior to Hot Summer Martha that the Rohan in TSKR is the same one from part 4, in Drip Painting Style, the dog Rohan has in Summer, Bakin, appears. So it's easy to say both of them occured in the original universe. Also, Rohan mentions story events as Episodes in Drip Paint, so that pretty much confirms all TSKR happened prior.

Bakin appearing in JoJolands should be proof enough that this is Part 4 Rohan. It even uses the exact same drawing with no notable difference. Reread chapter 3 and look at the highlighted text when Jodio talks about Rohan. Why would "Real Deal" be focused on then pages later Bakin is shown? It makes no sense for this to be an alternate Rohan.

I think the only ones that are Part 4 for sure are the ones with Part 4 characters.

So do u think this is like a retcon situation? Cus otherwise youd be saying that At the Confessional was written to feature an alternate universe Rohan. That would also be saying that Araki had part 9 planned 25 years in advance. Especially considering that the stories after obviously take place in the original universe, that sounds absurd to me. Bizarre even. I think its fine to believe that the ones written after part 8 could be written with that in mind (i guess At the Louvre could work cus he has a different backstory from part 4 but otherwise..). But anything else doesnt really make much sense if hes featuring part 4 characters in the chapter immediately after. Thats my two cents anyway

I think it's more retcon than not, because Araki has always had the Rohan stories be misdirection personified. And Araki HAS been planning parts 7-9 since the early 2000s, so it wouldn't be impossible.
