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, adapting 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 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 Episode 9: The Run and Episode 16: At a Confessional) were announced. The episodes themselves were screened at select Japanese theaters starting on December 8, 2019 and were released on Blu-ray and DVD on March 25, 2020.[1]

Years later, Rohan meets with Naoko's daughter whom she had with Gunpei, and accidentally murders her.

However, Yoma revealed his supernaturally fit muscles and broke the window behind them so that the loser would fall to his death.
