Template:OVA infobox Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan (岸辺露伴は動かない, Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai, lit. Rohan Kishibe Does Not Move!) is a series of OVA adaptations of the eponymous series of one-shots, featuring Diamond is Unbreakable character, Rohan Kishibe. Much like the one-shots themselves, the episodes are released out of order.
The first OVA episode was announced on April 15, 2016 and was produced by David Production. It adapted Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan - Episode 5: Millionaire Village. The promotional DVD was made exclusive to applicants who had purchased the entirety of the Diamond is Unbreakable Blu-Ray or DVD set before the deadline of July 31, 2017.
A second episode was announced on February 18, 2018, adapting Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan - Episode 2: Mutsu-kabe Hill. The disc was bundled with the second volume of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan, released on July 19, 2018.
On August 18, 2019, two more episodes (adapting Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan - Episode 16: At a Confessional and Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan - Episode 9: The Run) were announced. The episodes themselves will be screened at select Japanese theaters starting on December 8, 2019 and will be released on Blu-ray and DVD March 25, 2020.[1]

| Rohan Kishibe narrates to his editor Minoru Kagamari his encounter with a yokai, the Mutsukabezaka. For context, Rohan tells the story of Naoko Osato who accidentally murdered her boyfriend Gunpei. Panicking as her father and her betrothed were approaching her room and Gunpei's wound refused to stop bleeding, Naoko had to resort to drink his spilling blood and in the years afterward took care of Gunpei's corpse. Years later, Rohan meets with Naoko's daughter whom she had with Gunpei, and accidentally murders her. Rohan escapes his fate by making the girl unable to see him, causing the Mutsukabezaka to manifest itself in anger before reviving the girl and make her leave, as the yokai needs a witness when it dies. Rohan leaves safely and with a story for his manga. | |||
