Jump Ultimate Stars (DS Game)

Rohan appears as a 1-Koma character (which provides immunity from the Battle and Support Seal status effects) and as a menu explanatory character, representing the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure franchise. This is also his first appearance in any game media.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: All-Star Battle (PS3 Game)

Rohan makes his first playable appearance in the PS3 title. As one of the mass majority of playable characters in the game with the "Stand" Style, Rohan can turn Heaven's Door on/off, changing movesets, as well as having access to the Stand Rush ability returning from the Capcom game, being able to attack in conjunction with his Stand.

As Heaven's Door has never been shown engaging in physical combat, most of Rohan's abilities make use of its ability or his own art equipment. Exclusive to Rohan is the ability to use "seals", which lock off certain types of attacks and skills from the opponent for a short period of time, making them flinch every time they attempt to use a locked off skill and giving Rohan a chance to attack. If Rohan is hit, the locks will be instantly nullified.

• Throw - Rock, I win!: Rohan pushes the opponent off-balance and delivers a swift punch that knocks them down as he points at them.

While Heaven's Door is off:

• Safety Lock: Rohan writes Heaven's Door's silhouette in the air. If the opponent touches it, one of their normal attacks is sealed. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)
• What would I do if I were a manga hero?: Rohan throws pen tips as projectiles. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)
• I must keep drawing!: Rohan, paintbrush in hand, swings upward, knocking the opponent off their feet and onto the ground. This move can only be interrupted by Throws or HHA/GHA, and doubles as an anti-air. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)
• Your abilities are spent!: Rohan extends his hand to grab the opponent. If it connects, he will pick the opponent up by their collar and write on their face, before pushing them away. This move is a Throw; It is unblockable. This seals abilities pertaining to their Style and the Style Button;
  • Ripple Users cannot use "Ripple Breath", nor enhance their skills.
  • Dio Brando cannot use "I'll suck you dry!".
  • The Pillar Men cannot activate their respective Modes.
  • Stand Users cannot summon their Stands.
  • Mounted Style Users cannot call for their horses.

While Heaven's Door is on:

• I'll be the first to strike!: Rohan sends Heaven's Door to attack the opponent. If Heaven's Door touches them, the opponent will be stunned and left vulnerable to attack. This move is a Throw; It is unblockable (Comboable)
• I'm on the rise!: Heaven's Door rushes forward in a flurry of punches. This move has two follow-up attacks. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)
  • Knocked back at 70km/h!: Heaven's Door writes into the opponent "I will fly backwards at 70km/h", sending them into the stage wall.
  • Time for you to be retired!: Heaven's Door takes material out of the opponent, stealing some of their HHG and leaving them crumpling to the ground.

His HHA, "Your reality is mine!", has Heaven's Door fly at the opponent. If it hits, Heaven's Door turns a section of their face into 'material'. Rohan then quickly walks up to them, rips a piece out, and guffaws, sealing all of the opponent's skills.

His GHA move, "Heaven's Door", sends Heaven's Door to fly a short distance. If it hits the oppoent, they are knocked onto the ground sitting, before their entire face is turned into material. Rohan walks up to the vulnerable opponent and writes on the material to generate a safety lock. When he finishes, it shows that Rohan wrote "I cannot attack Kishibe Rohan" on the margin, and he proceeds to palm the opponent's face closed, sending them flying. This GHA, despite doing the least amount of damage of all the GHAs, seals the opponent's attacks and skills completely.

Rohan is a low-damage fighter, relying on his seals and ability to rapidly build the Heart Heat Gauge in order to effectively battle. Having attacks at all ranges and many opportunities to use HHG-consuming actions (HHA, GHA, Stand Rush, and Puttsun Cancels) more frequently makes up for his sub-par damage output. Rohan can force his opponent into a defensive playstyle with a combination of the right type of seals and attacks, but can be properly countered with characters that are not as hindered by certain seals than others.

Amongst many other notable costumes in the game, one of Rohan's unlockable costumes is his outfit from Under Execution Under Jailbreak.

Eyes of Heaven (PS3/PS4)

Rohan was confirmed for the game alongside Okuyasu and "Kosaku Kawajiri".

Tournament

He is paired with Jean Pierre Polnareff in the Eyes of Heaven Tournament, but was eliminated in the preliminaries by Giorno Giovanna and Guido Mista.

Trivia

• Rohan's valued possessions include Sailor Moon figures, Led Zeppelin paper sleeves, and the Rurouni Kenshin series.
• Despite popular belief, Araki has stated that Rohan is not based off his person, and the two are vastly different. He does admit however, after being asked if he would lick a spider like Rohan, that he would eat really strange things if asked to, and that he really enjoys drawing skin peeling, which is the premise behind Heaven's Door.
• Hirohiko Araki mentioned in an interview that if he were to have any Stand ability from his series, it would be Heaven's Door.
