So what if I told you that Joseph had always had Hermit Purple, even in Battle Tendency.
So I was originally working on the How strong is Joseph Joestar video when I had encountered
this idea.
Before getting into Joseph’s stand connection to the past I had to go back to how far they
were around.
So around 50,000 years ago, a meteorite had crash landed onto the earth.
This meteorite contained a virus that would choose worthy individuals, once choosing those
individuals, the virus gave them stands.
This information can be found in Part 5, Vento Aureo.
So seeing that I was like, ok that makes sense.
For example, Anubis a stand in Stardust Crusader.
The user of Anubis had died 500 years ago and Anubis became it’s own stand.
It puzzles me though because if we’re going to have creating of stands from all the way
meaning there should be stands all the way back then too, but that’s just an assumption
because a man hadn’t found the virus till a couple of hundreds of years ago.
We don’t really know much about it aside from the information about the arrows and
all.
Several hundred years before the discovery of the virus, a man who wished to acquire
the power of gods took the rocks and fashioned them into arrows.
These arrows had since been lost until 1986 when an Egyptian ruins investigation team
uncovered six of them from underneath the Egypt desert.
The Arrow's effects are transferable down bloodlines, generally without exception as
the Arrow that pierced Jonathan Joestar's body taken over by Dio awakened Stands in
the rest of the Joestar family, with certain people without the necessary spiritual strength
suffering from the strain (such as Holy Kujo and Josuke Higashikata at the time).
We all know and think that it was the stand arrow piercing Jonathan’s body, that made
it pass down to the other Joestars.
That’s where it makes the most sense.
We know that Jotaro had got one, Josuke, Holy, Joseph, and I guess Giorno but how he got
it was pretty iffy since that was activated subconsciously.
Well that’s what I had originally believed, that’s what the plot of Stardust Crusaders
had shown me.
Here’s the thing though we had traces of Joseph having Hermit Purple and along with
proof by Araki.
Haven’t you always wondered why Joseph knew what everyone was going to say next?
Hermit Purple is known to be a telepathic stand, with the ability to Divination.
The ability to predict and seek knowledge & information from other sources.
In Eyes of Heaven, Pucci would rather be dead than to stay alive to get the information
taken from him by Joseph Hermit purple.
So it’s indeed possible.
The capabilities of Hermit Purple haven’t been fully shown either.
We had seen him make a map out of dust and make the photographs and videos with Hermit
Purple, so the more he was focused on in Stardust Crusaders the more he did.
Unfortunately, Joseph can’t have a lot of showtime in both parts apparently.
Going back into Battle Tendency, let’s look at the introduction really quick and tell
me if you guys see anything.
Did you see it?
Let me play it back slower.
Still no?
One more time even slower.
Give up?
I’m going to play it really slow and zoom in for you.
Notice the thorny vines whipping in the back?
The darker purple vines right there?
So Hermit Purple was in the introduction too, I don’t believe it was just an easter egg
either.
Now if you don’t believe either sources, I’m not going to blame you.
You want factual proof that Hermit Purple has been around this whole time.
Jojonium.
It’s not a chemical I promise.
Jojonium is a large special release of the first 3 parts of the Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
manga.
This contains special interviews with Hirohiko Araki himself.
When speaking on Joseph Joestar for the second time because the first was about Young Joseph,
second being old Joseph this is what he said.
“Stands were based on this concept just like Ripple was, so when I thought about putting
Joseph back in the story, I needed to decide how I would visualize Ripple as a Stand.
Ripple is life energy that travels through the entire body through a special breathing
method.
Therefore, a concrete visualization of it would be some sort of wire wrapped around
the entire body, like a vine.
If Jotaro's group time traveled to the world of Part 2, they would probably be able to
see "Hermit Purple" wrapped around Joseph just like in Part 3.”
So that’s it, that’s how it all make sense.
Joseph had always had Hermit Purple, do you know what that means?
Remember when he subconsciously lifted the Red Stone of Aja to beat Kars?
Just like how Giorno subsciously activated Gold Experience without knowing he had it.
It was Hermit Purple wrapping around Kars, knowing what he was going to do next.
After it did that, it pushed Joseph to protect himself by using the Red Stone to protect
him.
If you’re a huge fan of Battle Tendency and have friends that go against it because
of that fight only, congrats.
He didn’t win because of luck, he won because he outsmarted him unintentionally with a stand
he had no idea of knowing that it existed.
Also not knowing of stands existence in general either.
Yeah ok, that’s lowkey bs but at the same time that’s his ability there.
