Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan

Our Review

The best JoJo bonus content ever made. Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe follows Diamond is Unbreakable’s pompous manga artist into four self-contained horror shorts, and the result plays like The Twilight Zone drawn by Hirohiko Araki.

Rohan travels, researches, and inevitably stumbles into supernatural trouble: a village of millionaires with strict manners, a confessional with a vengeful ghost, a model who cannot stop running, and a hill with a body that will not stay buried. Four episodes, four tight little nightmares, zero filler.

David Production gives the OVA a sleeker art style than the main series, and the shorter format suits Araki’s one-shot instincts perfectly. It is streaming on Netflix worldwide, and at four episodes it is a single-evening watch.

Watch it after Diamond is Unbreakable for maximum effect, or as a standalone taste of what makes JoJo’s brand of bizarre so special.
