DescriptionGallery

He used to faithfully buy the first issue of Shonen Jumbo every week to read Rohan's manga, but when it was confiscated, the young boy became frustrated with studying, failed his exams, became a drop-out and turned to crime. Rohan actually baited them inside his house to get a look at their lives, and quickly neutralizes them by turning them into books and writing his "safety lock" on them, making them placid and peaceful. He then sends them to the police. The younger burglar gets to enjoy Pink Dark Boy in jail as Rohan sends him volumes of the manga.

The boss profusely apologizes after he realizes he got Rohan's name wrong while his co-worker claims that he knew who Rohan was. They tell Rohan that while it's possible to buy the land for the range he desired, there's a resort development company that is pestering the landowner into making a deal, so they were concerned that Rohan would resell the land for profit after the sale. Rohan gets annoyed from their claims and uses Heaven's Door on them before they can leave. He writes a command that the boss will make an honest deal with Rohan. Afterwards, Rohan sees a page of the man's deepest secret which he won't even tell to his family and tears the page out of him so Rohan can keep it.
Men at the Gym

Clinging Yokai
DescriptionGallery
This yokai is the main antagonist of the fifth episode of the Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan Drama. The character is heavily inspired by the Stand Cheap Trick from Diamond is Unbreakable in that it is invisible to all but its current victim, clings to one victim's back, and kills the victim as soon as someone sees their back and then latches onto whoever saw the back. Unlike in the original manga, the yokai takes on the appearance of its previous victim with altered features such as hair color, and extra accessories (like an extra tie in Masazo Kinoto's case).
It shares the same fate as its inspiration, being taken away from Rohan by malicious spirits.
A hypothetical "Rohan" yokai on Kyoka.
