Heaven's Door (ヘブンズ・ドアー Hebunzu Doā) (a.k.a. Heaven's Gate) is the stand of Rohan Kishibe featured in Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable and other side stories (such as Thus Spoke Rohan Kishibe - Mutsukabeza) in which its user is featured in.
Abilities
Heaven's Door's abilities are activated when one sees the stand or a drawn image of his stand, and can work on multiple opponents at a time. With his artistic skills and quick hands, Rohan can even create an image in midair with a mere pen, or can invoke his stand's image by drawing it out with his finger.
- Book-Human Transmutation: It enables Rohan to read others' minds by turning their body into a human book detailing their memories since birth. The contents shown by Heaven's Door are the thoughts, ideas, and memories of the individual, so there is no way for the user to lie unless he or she truly does not know. Rohan is also incapable of reading memories that he shares with the person in question. If the person is on the verge of death, the words in that person's pages will gradually disappear.[1]
- Memory Tangibility: The "pages" of the book-human can also be ripped out, causing said human to lose those memories and body weight.
- Write-in Command: Rohan can also write in false memories and commands into the victim's pages, the most often used command being "can not attack Kishibe Rohan". Said victim will obey the command as though it were a hypnotic suggestion, as even Okuyasu Nijimura held a lit lighter to himself and threatened to burn himself on command, despite actively resisting and even fearing that manner of death. Otherwise impossible tasks can also be made possible with Heaven's Door, such as commanding Josuke to fly backwards at 70km/h. This was also likely the source for Koichi Hirose's Italian skills, as he had Rohan write in Italian language skills so that he could approach Giorno Giovanna.
- Enhanced Artistic Skill: Heaven's Door also seems to grant the ability to write at superhuman speeds by enabling Rohan to "draw" images by accurately positioning each drop of ink in an exact position to form an image. Perhaps, due to this, Rohan was the only mangaka able to make his deadlines even when Stairway to Heaven (Made in Heaven) was accelerating time.
Trivia
- Heaven's Door seems to appear as a character in Rohan's "Pink Dark Boy" comic series; it shares the exact same appearance as the (possibly main) character, shown when Rohan is seen working at his desk.
- Hirohiko Araki mentioned in an interview that if he were to have any Stand ability from his series, it would be Heaven's Door.
- The stands abilities can also be used on the user as well. As demonstrated by Rohan in Rohan at the Louvre, when he used Heavens door to erase all his memories by writing it on his forehead. However when the command was rubbed off, all his memories returned.
