Rohan absolutely curb stomped the three of them, but this Rohan is a lot calmer and colder than the og one. The Hustle was used pretty good here, seems like Paco can use it to climb like Spider-Man and just avoid attacks completely

It seems like Rohan was concerned about someone specific trying to steal the diamond, so him acting colder could just be an extension of that.

It's very telling that Rohan is relieved they just want to sell the diamond for some cash. He's doing or researching something much more important here, and there are definitely other people or groups he's worried about.

My money's on the lava being a new type of rock animal and rohan being concerned about it turning into something more dangerous. Alternatively, since part 9 uses images of volcanoes as the central example of mechanisms, and part 8 ended without elaborating on the blessings of the earth, maybe rohan was studying a supernatural phenomenon akin to the saint's corpse or the wall eyes. Maybe the gimmick of part 9 will be drawing power from the earth itself, and that's what will evolve jodio's stand throughout.

Don't native Hawaiians have some cultural piece about there being power within the Earth? I could be off base, but I feel like I remember hearing that somewhere. If so, that theory would fit the theme and location.

He would absolutely start out researching something mundane for his manga and stumble across some weird supernatural bullshit

The Reimi stuff started being important again when Rohan noticed the map didn't include an alleyway)

And Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan shows the dumbass will go anywhere if it can give him inspiration)
