I dont think that part 8 will be the last part of JoJo. The manga has been going in a trilogy style trend. Parts 1-3 are about the Joestars, Dio, the stone mask and its creation. Parts 4-6 are about the stand arrow and the journeys that ensue due to its abilities. Part 7-8 granted Araki a fresh start in a whole other universe. SBR started a new trilogy for JoJo because a lot of the Steel Ball Run Race and who recorded it plays a main part in JJL. Although JJL is supposed to be about Josuke finding out who he really is and how to cure the Stone Disease, the Higashikata family tree has been going as far back as the SBR. The disease was still present in the Higashikata bloodline when Norisuke Higashikata I recorded the results. Norisuke IV thinks that Josuke is the cure to the disease. Although we don't know how the rest of JJL will play out, I think part 9 will tie everything together nicely and be the end of another great trilogy.
