Summary
This section requires expansion.
The episode starts out with the ending scene of the previous episode, where Koichi walks back to Rohan's house without him realizing (claiming he felt heavy as he walked and drawn to the house). Koichi notices the door is open and while apprehensive about visiting Rohan unannounced, walks into his home and up the stairs where Rohan says he is on time. He tells Koichi to wait while he finishes the next two pages for next week's manuscript in twenty minutes. Koichi is surprised since Rohan just finished the current week's manuscript along with his swift movements as he draws the manuscript without first sketching with a pencil and then ink blots the manuscript as if he was throwing shuriken and finishes the final touches with drawing bold lines using multiple paintbrushes. Rohan states he was able to finish so fast because of the experiences and stories he has read off of Koichi's memories that makes him inspired to continue writing more. He then states he will rip more memories from Koichi and that despite the fact he will continue to lose weight equivalent to the amount of memories but he shouldn't are because he will live as a masterpiece. Koichi finally remembers Rohan is a stand user as Heaven's door once more takes his effect on him
As Rohan plans to keep taking pages from Koichi to inspire his manga works, the two hear a doorbell ring. Rohan sees it is Okuyasu and Josuke while Koichi slips away to ask for their help. Unfortunately, the safety lock written inside Koichi prevents him from asking Josuke and Okuyasu for help. He quickly forgets what he was going to tell them and since Josuke and Okuyasu see that Koichi appears alright they leave despite Koichi's invitation to see Rohan. Koichi enters the house and remembers he was trying to ask for help but when he opens the door he forgets once more and bids them farewell as he will catch up. He goes back up to Rohan's room and proclaims how frightening Heaven's Door is until Rohan senses someone has entered his house and it turns out to be Okuyasu. Rohan reasons Josuke and Okuyasu managed to deduce what's happening from a wound on Koichi's hand and headed inside Rohan's house. Rohan taunts Okuyasu about his complex towards his dead brother and Okuyasu, angered, asks Koichi about Rohan's stand. Unfortunately, Koichi is forbidden by Heaven's door's command from telling him about any of Rohan's weaknesses. Rohan uses his manuscript to put Okuyasu under Heaven's Door's power. Rohan calls out Josuke, aware he is hiding behind the door. Rohan asks Koichi why Josuke is hiding behind the door, with Koichi correctly answering that he now knows that Heaven's Door works by seeing Rohan's manuscript and Josuke doesn't want to get affected. Rohan then asks Okuyasu the second reason Josuke didn't enter the room. Okuyasu claims it is because Josuke is trying to figure out how to kill him, but Rohan says that is not completely correct. Rohan then states that Josuke is wondering whether or not to leave the house alone. Koichi exclaims Josuke is not that kind of person to leave people behind and Rohan says it would be troublesome if he did. Okuyasu then realizes it may be smart for Josuke to leave since he could get help from Jotaro or Yukako. However, Rohan had anticipated this and wrote a safety lock on Okuyasu, which Koichi sadly reveals will cause Okuyasu to commit suicide if Josuke tries to help him. Left with no choice, Josuke goes in the room while closing his eyes. He runs toward Rohan and Rohan calmly throws several sharp objects such as pen nibs onto Josuke, who bravely continues to rush towards Rohan with his eyes closed despite the pain. Realizing he is in trouble, Rohan calmly deduces his options and reads one of Josuke's weaknesses in Koichi's file, which is when he realizes Josuke's strange personality quirk where he gets angered whenever people insult his hair. Rohan then insults Josuke's hairstyle in order to provoke him into opening his eyes and viewing his manuscript, but this fails as Josuke is literally blinded by his rage that he doesn't even notice the manuscript. OKuyasu and Koichi return to normal and watch as Josuke beats Rohan to a pulp. As Rohan is hiding under his collapsed bookshelf away from Josuke, he wonders why Josuke is so mad when people insult his hair and Koichi remembers once hearing the story behind his hair and proceeds to explain it with a few guesses. He says that when Josuke came down with a fever when he was four years old as a result of Dio awakening his stand, it was a student with a regent hairstyle who helped him and his mother get to a hospital in the middle of a blizzard, inspiring Josuke to copy his hairstyle and take offense to anyone who insults it. Koichi mentions while he knew the story he simply thought Josuke made it up which is why Rohan didn't know as Koichi kept it at the back of his head. Okuyasu and Koichi notice Rohan is moving with a pen in hand and believe he is trying to activate his stand once more. However, Rohan corrects them and says he wants to write a memo about the story before losing consciousness as he hopes to use it as material for his manga and even cries about how happy he is for experiencing something so good. Okuyasu and Koichi are shocked but commend him for being so devoted to his work. Josuke then finds Rohan and proceeds to beat Rohan up some more (along with all the windows on his first floor) while Okuyasu and Koichi silently watch. Pink Dark Boy is then put on a one month hiatus for "personal reasons".
