1. Made in Heaven permanently killing off people only works while Made in Heaven is actually running, and that's only through its own run of the original universe. As soon as Pucci died, the Universe destabilized and that's why an alternate universe exists, which is also why Irene and the other Stone Ocean alternates appear at the end of Stone Ocean.

2. According to Jorge Joestar, Part 2 happens in every universe, somehow someway (I know it's non-canon, but still worth pointing out)

3. Giorno's Gold Experience Requiem makes him immune to Made in Heaven, meaning that the original Giorno could show up in future parts.

4. Part 8 is not retelling Part 4. It's actually archetypally retelling Part 2 with Part 4's setting (and heavy references to Part 4).

Part 7 was a retelling of Part 1 mixed with the stronger pieces of Part 3, drawn out as a coming of age story. Part 8 is a retelling of Part 2 with heavy referential material towards Part 4. Part 9 could be referential of Parts 5 and 6, possibly ultimately capping out JoJo's overarching story (and I'd like it to be such because Araki's getting old, regardless of what any of us joke, and if Parts 8 and 9 go on for as long as SBR, by the end of Part 9 he'd be 66, and I'd prefer that it be finished before he has a chance to die). I don't think GER saved Giorno from Made In Heaven
