 * In another interview with Jump Square in 2007, Araki stated that he wants to return to writing about the town of Morioh in Parts 8 and 9.
 * During Lucca Con 2019, a fan asked Araki if he could make a new part in Italy, to which he replied that he would think about it.
 * In an interview with Rurubu Morioh that came with JoJolion Volume 12, Araki said he wanted to write a story in a location with a "lonely feel" to it, like the Scottish Highlands.
 * Fumi question mark.png of December 2021, Part 9 is currently being worked on, and besides the usual difficulties of working on a new part, everything is more or less prepared.
 * As of June 2022, Part 9 is being planned.
 * On July 3rd, 2022, a video of Araki was released that showed a sketch of an unknown character in the background. It has been edited to show this character in some detail. It is unknown if this is a future Part 9 character or not.

 * As it is currently unreleased, this makes the break between Parts 8 and 9 the longest wait between parts so far, being more than one year (16 months) in total. The previous record was between Parts 6 and 7 which was 9 months long.
