I used to think Hermit purple was a lame stand, but I've since come to realize that it suits Joseph perfectly. It it a very versatile stand that only someone as clever as Joseph can utilize to it's fullest potential.
@@lilylopnco in a way, I'd think that Hamon is more powerful than most stands out there. From what we've seen, Hamon can: Make you walk on water, control liquid, heal people, revitalize, make projectiles out of anything, mind control people, mind control animals, can "magnetize" yourself to objects (and objects to other objects), can give a huge boost on your attacks, and most of all: can keep you younger.
Cool fact: Hamon is a form of energy used in Sēndo: an ancient marital art. Sēndo translates to “Way of the Hermit” and Joseph’s stand is named Hermit Purple. I just think that’s a cool call back to Joseph’s ability to use Hamon. It may also explain how Jonathan’s stand looked similar to Hermit Purple.

Maybe range doesn't refer to how far it can attack but rather how far it can be away from the user. Even though Hermit Purple has a far reach, it is always connected to Joseph where Star Platinum might not be able to go across town but it also isn't glued to Jotaro.
Hermit (reversed): loneliness, isolation, losing your way. Joseph had to grow up believing both his parents dead, getting into fights and being a punk, a far cry from the honorable legacy of the previous 3 Joestar men before him. Aside from his grandmother and the family’s friend, he likely didn’t have any friends until he was 18 when he stood up for a kid who just stole his wallet Hermit (upright): contemplation, search for truth, inner guidance. The power Joseph has awakened allows him to both search for information in his immediate vicinity as well as being the main reason they know why Holly is sick and where to find DIO. He’s noticeably cooled down from the tommy gun wielding thug he was 5 decades prior and is able to more calmly think his way through his situations. On top of all of this, his own experience as an adventurer gives him knowledge on how to handle the dangerous supernatural journey they’re currently on
Not only that, Joseph is the joestar (and maybe the jojo character that suffered the most) Joseph has lost has many close people has future trunks -jonathan: grandfather, died long before he was born. -George: his dad, died when he was a baby. -Erina: his grandmother and one of the most important persons in ALL of joseph's life, she raised him since he was a baby, joseph really loved her with all of his heart and she loved him the same.

I’d be very interested in the further development of the way of the hermit. In part 7, the spin is the alternate universe counterpart to Hamon. Naturally, if one is capable of being developed to its final stage, So could the other. I think that if hermit purple were to develop past what has been shown, it would get into information manipulation, and perfect long term forsight, expanding upon what Tom petty showed in predicting William Zeppeli’s fate. It’s very interesting to contemplate an act 4 hermit purple, or really any more developed version of hermit purple.
Joseph may have a rather weak stand, but damn he really knows how to use it to its full potential. Spirit Photography, Grappling, controlling technology, mapping, and more. It’s fitting for Joseph to turn this piece of vine into a very useful tool for his and others benefit
@@unknownguyindo4356 Sadly he never use it to it fullest potential, with hamon you can make shield barriers, read minds, mind control people, knocaut humans (or even kill them), heal ETC ETC, hell tompety even saw the future. I think joseph was one of the strongest characters in part 3 but sadly he was nerfed AF
@@Kevin_PR98 he didn't train his hamon again because he wanted to go old with Suzie and lack motivation of training it again, while he is a healthy and fit old man, he still an old man(his fighting spirit is not as strong as before) and in Part 4:DiU you can see that Joseph spirit, and mental is dying because he already gone senile.
@@unknownguyindo4356 yeah i know that, but i was talking more about part 3 joseph, to explain me better: if he used it hp better thing would have been diferent. In part 2 with the hair of stroheim he made a barrier that shielded him, his grandpa and stroheim from machine gun bullets, if he used hermit purple to make the same barrier dio would have never stabed him with the knife. Now, i know that beetwen part 2 and 3 he stopped training BUT in part 2 when he did the hamon barrier in the nazis base he had never trained hamon before.
Wait, couldn't Joseph have wrapped Hermit Purple around his fists to punch stands? That way, the only thing making contact would be Hermit Purple, thus preserving the rule that only stands could harm other stands.
You think joseph wants to have a punch fight with the world or something? Just a punch and his arm is broken and going to close is bad thanks ti stop time ability dio can just do anithing and put him in trouble and well joseph i think dont encounter a lot of stands who uses their punches and the only ones i remember empress and the world haves more power than him (empress put joseph in real trouble even if he wanted to stop her from punching him, joseph wasnt that strong)
@@agustin8347 Thats may be true for old Joseph, but if he were in his part 2 prime self it would be a different story since he was vastly faster and stronger back then.
You can really see how Joseph gets better a using his ability. The length has increased with him being able to use it as a lasso. Premonition got better by being able to essentially draw maps to specific items. His control got better by being able to play a game controller.
At first I thought Hermit Purple was stupid compared to other stands, but then I realized how good it was based on Joseph’s character. Joseph is all about gaining tactical information on his opponents in order to trick them in battle, Hermit Purple allows him to do this really well.
@@fullgamerxii3768 but on a more serious note. Since Stands weren't really a thing in Part 2. I mean Joseph had his but it was still developing and he didn't really know he had it. But let's say he did. Knowing Joseph he probably wouldn't immediately notice that others can't see it and when he does finally find out he'd probably be confused and very cautious of this newfound ability. So I think he'd still struggle a bit trying to figure out exactly what his stand can or cannot do.
@@rainbowpanda7042 Was it the same picture though? It might have just been a picture of Dio, especially since Giorno's mother probably left before the Crusaders showed up
@@Mushroom-Stew who could've took it? I doubt dio would let anyone take a picture of him since he was keeping a low profile at that time. Besides it's the exact picture Joseph took
at first Hermit Purple sounds like the worst stand. But its actually quite useful for normal life problems. (So this comment started a Discussion in the replies)
@@AthenisOculi I don't know about you but time stop seems like a really decent ability, it could also save your life in many tough situations. Hermit Purple's telepathy would be really useful tho.
@@fly672 Yeah kind of, but there's a lot of Stands way better than Star Platinum and The World on this aspect, Pearl Jam its one of best because he can literally heal crippling (Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan) and almost everything else and also makes you a god in cooking what gives you a Job :v
@@AthenisOculi Yeah also time stop isn't useful for anything else than fighting, stopping time for 2-5 seconds is a lot in a fight and could give you the edge over any opponent but not much in normal life scenario. It also puts a lot of strain on user's body and humans can't really go past 5 seconds limit, Dio could spam time stop and increase duration of it as much as he wanted (with practice) only because he's a vampire.
This is honestly one of my favorite stands and I feel like it pretty underrated, but when my friends try to question it I have have trouble defending myself😅 nice vid
Hermit Purple is pretty bad in combat but it's telepathy is pretty useful. However if Joseph had Ultimate Kars level Hamon his stand would be amazing (wrapping people in vines and melting them with Hamon).
@@fly672 you don't really need melting level hamon to make it be really good on humans, remember that it can instantly make someone passout/mind control with a bit of hamon. People sleep on how op hamon is on every living thing, if stands didn't completely block it Joseph would be op in part 3 😂
@@Nu_Type444 Stands don't "block" hamon, I think. The only reason it didn't work on Empress was because she was attached to Joseph's body. She even says that Joseph's hamon wouldn't hurt his own body.
It is not like He could't reach it He thought The escalator button was much closer (He was shouting like ''This escalator doesn't have a button'') so When He couldn't find it at the place he assumed ıt was there He thought that There is no button and freaked out
I mean yea, imagine what other humanoid stands such as Star Platinum or Crazy Diamond can do compare to Hermit Purple. Star Platinum can smash those who gets in your way and stop time when necessary and Crazy Diamond can fix things back when you accidentally broke something while Hermit Purple is just a vine which only grab things and required to destroy an entire camera just to have a photo of someone or an object in the present.
@@Zurowoxx you can use hermit purple to find the location where you wanted to go if you dont know whereis it and vine slap an enemy or fuse it with hamon and use it to be spider man
@@Zurowoxx some are cool but humanoid stands are kinda overrated, you definitely are underestimating hermit purple and its ability and probably didnt understand it as much
2:17 i was thinking... what if when joseph get older in part 4, he got forgetfulness because of this? maybe his brain got damaged and this has caused effect some ages later.
It's not that good for stand battles but it's so versatile everywhere else, it kinda reflects Joseph's role in part 3 really well since he's not supposed to be the star of the show, he gets a stand that has tons of utility but little offensive power.
@@insertnamehere3816 Joseph's hamon isn't strong enough to do any real damage to normal people. The only being who could hurt humans with hamon was Ultimate Kars with Hamon around 100x stronger than Joseph's.
@@fly672 joseph when he was 12 left the chopper of a plane unconsious with hamon, and he never practiced hamon at that time. Old joseph hamon is far more powerfull than joseph at 12.
Hermit Purple is hella underrated IMO, I get it's not as "flashy" (although I find everything about its design and sound work fucking great) but it legit suits Joseph so well and has so many cool uses on top of just being so aesthetically pleasing
KirbyisJericho 15 With everything it can do, it’s perfect for Joseph. Guy can think of a way out of any situation and Hermit Purple reflects how versatile he really is
Hermit purple is very useful, if you have already lost something and need to find It, and use it to wander around the city like Spiderman. This stand is very versatile.
One thing I love about Hermit Purple is that it not only shares the same sound design as Hamon but we can also constantly see Hamon generating and sparking out of the vines when Joseph uses it. It perfectly fits with how Araki originally designed it to be "A visualisation of the Ripple"
Almost every time Joseph uses Hermit Purple, we hear the sound of Hamon. And this is indeed the sound of a Hamon, because when DIO uses Hermit Purple, the same sounds of Joseph's stand are heard, but without the sounds of Hamon
I just found out that hermit purple could be more powerful if only Joseph was still young. Old Joseph cannot predict people's next lines, but young Joseph can, that proves that age can change a stand's power.
This is what I enjoy about JoJo - fights don't depend on what Stand you have. It's how you use it. Joseph has a weak Hermit Purple, but his clever trickster nature allows him to use it in creative and effective ways. And for instance Okuyasu has an overpowered The Hand, but he isn't smart enough to go any further than just brute force.
4:19 why didn’t you have Hamon already infused Joseph COME ON! “JOSEPH JOESTAR!!! Your stand is the weakest! It could never defeat me! “Huh what’s that? I must be going deaf in this ear. You said that my Stand couldn’t beat you? Well that’s ridiculous, why wouldn’t I use the perfect hamon conductor on a vampire!” “What?”- explodes That could have happened.
@@Esfarda so basically, Straizo, Is a hamon user, And turned into a vampire, Although a master of hamon, but still gets affected by hamon, he even killed himself with his own hamon.
He got hermit purple as a stand because he can utilize anything to its fullest potential. So if he got a different stand just like Kakyoin's or Avdol's, he would be really OP
@@RepublicOfUs Yeah, when he was in the boat meanwhile Okuyasu was with him, he was senile-ish. But when he saw/noticed Shizuka, he immediately warned Josuke about a stand user nearby and used Hermit Purple as well. He literally faked his senility so at least Josuke wouldn't go so harsh on him after leaving him for almost 10 years.
I'm surprised even Joseph part 4 for a really old guy, still can use his hermit purple even tho he's too old and weak. But reality, he can use it with his strength still, I'm impressed.
Hermit Purple is the strongest stand, since young joseph had it, and it is able to read peoples minds. Araki confirmed that young Joseph had it, the rest is speculation based on evidences, like that scene were Joseph lifted the Red Aja by pure instinct.
viniwizi hermit purple have the ability to read others mind yes, but joseph did not know about it therefore he can’t use it 100%. He use it without even knowing. If he does know about it however, he could have easily know about dio ability to stop time, therefore able to tell the others crusaders about it and they would win.
Nope. This is wrong. Araki said that the crusaders would see HP in Y. Joseph, but that's because HP is hamon in stand form (stated by Araki). Also, Joseph predicting things people say is because he was a smart boi and could read people like books.
If I was in the JoJo universe,I'd train Hamon,I think it's a lot more versatile than a lot of the Stands we have seen,you have Hermit Purple,you have the ability to create ripples of energy throughout surfaces,healing,super strength,future sight and all that is guaranteed whereas with Stands you have to take a chance
It honestly looks like Joseph channels the ripple through Hermit Purple on instinct, at least for the majority of times we see it, which means it's stats are probably a bit more deceiving than they let on, being stronger than projected, albeit not by much. Kinda fits the character honestly, his best ability has always been his skill at deception.
Imagine going to your favorite restaurant then seeing an old man shouting something like "hermit purple" then karate chopping a camera. This is truly a bizarre adventure.
@@shiningjoot6369 that was literally jossph using a vine stand, though it is unnamed, the reader is left to use their own thinking to tie the knots, therefore this is literally hermit purple regardless of if it was named or not
Hermit purple would make an amazing detective stand it could be used to find lost people, crime organizations, lost objects, *killers* still mad about part 4 even though he was a bit senile
I never thought hermit purple was a bad stand, I just felt like that for Joseph it was very underwhelming, but now I think it’s perfect for him, a very crafty stand that only crafty people can utilize to its maximum potential
Hermit Purple is unironically powerful af. If Dio never had the Joestar stand(Joseph, Jonathan and Holy) he couldnt win since Joseph could easily find him and get some information about his capabilities. And with a plan he could use hamon to absolutely destroy Dio. Edit: since it looks weird I want to mention that "win" here doesnt mean that dio won the whole joestar battle he just won against both kakyoin and joseph.
Hermit purple is very good in my opinion,you dont need to stop time or erase stuff from reality in normal life you can just give a little hit to a camera to see something you need use a bit of dirt to create a map and search what you need and stuff like that and in anime hermit was able to take control in a plane (death 13 episode) or see whats going on in a console And maybe look for information faster and "upload it" in yout head if you use it in a smartphone we never see it in so we are not going to know how this can going on but i think hermit is the best normal life stand ever

Joseph may have a rather weak stand, but damn he really knows how to use it to its full potential. Spirit Photography, Grappling, controlling technology, mapping, and more. It’s fitting for Joseph to turn this piece of vine into a very useful tool for his and others benefit
He is Joseph Joestar, of course he know how to use it into it's full potential.
@@unknownguyindo4356 Sadly he never use it to it fullest potential, with hamon you can make shield barriers, read minds, mind control people, knocaut humans (or even kill them), heal ETC ETC, hell tompety even saw the future.
I think joseph was one of the strongest characters in part 3 but sadly he was nerfed AF
@@Kevin_PR98 he didn't train his hamon again because he wanted to go old with Suzie and lack motivation of training it again, while he is a healthy and fit old man, he still an old man(his fighting spirit is not as strong as before) and in Part 4:DiU you can see that Joseph spirit, and mental is dying because he already gone senile.
@@unknownguyindo4356 yeah i know that, but i was talking more about part 3 joseph, to explain me better: if he used it hp better thing would have been diferent.
In part 2 with the hair of stroheim he made a barrier that shielded him, his grandpa and stroheim from machine gun bullets, if he used hermit purple to make the same barrier dio would have never stabed him with the knife.
Now, i know that beetwen part 2 and 3 he stopped training BUT in part 2 when he did the hamon barrier in the nazis base he had never trained hamon before.
@@Kevin_PR98 Maybe it's Araki Forgot moment?
I don't really know dude.
Hermit purple is a vastly underrated stand and really shows that a stands power comes from the user’s fighting capability, not just raw power
1:46 David Productions animation budget went through the roof with this scene.
*Hmm yes Joseph falling*
“lets spend all our mental health in animating joseph falling into spikes”
Wait, couldn't Joseph have wrapped Hermit Purple around his fists to punch stands? That way, the only thing making contact would be Hermit Purple, thus preserving the rule that only stands could harm other stands.
That sounds like something that jolyne would do
Due to how her stand works, technically her whole body is a stand and should be able to interact with other stands
@@merlu8578 she kinda like her great grandpa Joseph
You think joseph wants to have a punch fight with the world or something? Just a punch and his arm is broken and going to close is bad thanks ti stop time ability dio can just do anithing and put him in trouble and well joseph i think dont encounter a lot of stands who uses their punches and the only ones i remember empress and the world haves more power than him (empress put joseph in real trouble even if he wanted to stop her from punching him, joseph wasnt that strong)
@@agustin8347 Thats may be true for old Joseph, but if he were in his part 2 prime self it would be a different story since he was vastly faster and stronger back then.
1:35 is amazing
The slightly electrical sound and echoing hamon noises capture the stand perfectly.
You can really see how Joseph gets better a using his ability. The length has increased with him being able to use it as a lasso. Premonition got better by being able to essentially draw maps to specific items. His control got better by being able to play a game controller.
also him realizing hermit purple can form images out of anything, not just through electronic devices
4:10 the reason why hermit purple is the best
True
At first I thought Hermit Purple was stupid compared to other stands, but then I realized how good it was based on Joseph’s character. Joseph is all about gaining tactical information on his opponents in order to trick them in battle, Hermit Purple allows him to do this really well.
For someone that loves sound designs, this channel is straight gold
Imagine young joseph can use his stand against those pillar men.
He would have immediately won against them since they cant see stands
@@fullgamerxii3768 unless. The Pillar Men were secretly stand users.
@@fullgamerxii3768 but on a more serious note. Since Stands weren't really a thing in Part 2. I mean Joseph had his but it was still developing and he didn't really know he had it. But let's say he did. Knowing Joseph he probably wouldn't immediately notice that others can't see it and when he does finally find out he'd probably be confused and very cautious of this newfound ability. So I think he'd still struggle a bit trying to figure out exactly what his stand can or cannot do.
@@fullgamerxii3768 not only they can't see it, they cannot defend themselves against a stand, expecially if the stand can conduct hamon
He did but subconsciously
So to normal people, is he just destroying expensive camera for nothing?
Or can they see the photo?
They should be able to see the photo, since it's not a stand
Leaky eye luca was able to see dio's picture that giorno got somehow
@@rainbowpanda7042 Was it the same picture though? It might have just been a picture of Dio, especially since Giorno's mother probably left before the Crusaders showed up
@@Mushroom-Stew who could've took it? I doubt dio would let anyone take a picture of him since he was keeping a low profile at that time. Besides it's the exact picture Joseph took
Rainbow Panda I think Luca was a stando user
at first Hermit Purple sounds like the worst stand.
But its actually quite useful for normal life problems.
(So this comment started a Discussion in the replies)
attention: we got a nine year old on deck
What means that it's actually the better Stand, like Star Platinum is useless if you don't start beating everything and everyone.
@@AthenisOculi I don't know about you but time stop seems like a really decent ability, it could also save your life in many tough situations.
Hermit Purple's telepathy would be really useful tho.
@@fly672 Yeah kind of, but there's a lot of Stands way better than Star Platinum and The World on this aspect, Pearl Jam its one of best because he can literally heal crippling (Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan) and almost everything else and also makes you a god in cooking what gives you a Job :v
@@AthenisOculi Yeah also time stop isn't useful for anything else than fighting, stopping time for 2-5 seconds is a lot in a fight and could give you the edge over any opponent but not much in normal life scenario.
It also puts a lot of strain on user's body and humans can't really go past 5 seconds limit, Dio could spam time stop and increase duration of it as much as he wanted (with practice) only because he's a vampire.
Harmon will always appear before hermit purple materializes, makes me feel nostalgic
Range: D
joseph while escaping dio: spiderman time
@@LazyAndFabulous give me my car back
@@LazyAndFabulous so ,why he dont have E ?
@@boubaker7037
Because it can be grabbed
I think the range refers to the distance that one Stand can be from it's user, and not the attack range.
This is honestly one of my favorite stands and I feel like it pretty underrated, but when my friends try to question it I have have trouble defending myself😅 nice vid
Hermit Purple is pretty bad in combat but it's telepathy is pretty useful.
However if Joseph had Ultimate Kars level Hamon his stand would be amazing (wrapping people in vines and melting them with Hamon).
I-/ /-B He probably would’ve gotten a different stand. It would be way more powerful than HP, because he has Ultimate Kars hamon
@@fly672 you don't really need melting level hamon to make it be really good on humans, remember that it can instantly make someone passout/mind control with a bit of hamon. People sleep on how op hamon is on every living thing, if stands didn't completely block it Joseph would be op in part 3 😂
@@Nu_Type444 Stands don't "block" hamon, I think. The only reason it didn't work on Empress was because she was attached to Joseph's body. She even says that Joseph's hamon wouldn't hurt his own body.
Hermit Purple is a stand that conducts Hamon! What's more OP than that?
Joseph:Cant reach the button of an escalator.
Also Joseph: 4:30
It is not like He could't reach it He thought The escalator button was much closer (He was shouting like ''This escalator doesn't have a button'') so When He couldn't find it at the place he assumed ıt was there He thought that There is no button and freaked out

Hermit Purple is such an underrated Stand
I mean yea, imagine what other humanoid stands such as Star Platinum or Crazy Diamond can do compare to Hermit Purple. Star Platinum can smash those who gets in your way and stop time when necessary and Crazy Diamond can fix things back when you accidentally broke something while Hermit Purple is just a vine which only grab things and required to destroy an entire camera just to have a photo of someone or an object in the present.
@@Zurowoxx you can use hermit purple to find the location where you wanted to go if you dont know whereis it and vine slap an enemy or fuse it with hamon and use it to be spider man

@@Zurowoxx You really underestimate the value of information. It can even make fucking sand maps with actual tracking

2:08 "EIBEHDEH SHEMEYAH!"
Joseph sound design when?
4:43 best one. Epic.
SHIZAAAAAA
2:17 i was thinking... what if when joseph get older in part 4, he got forgetfulness because of this? maybe his brain got damaged and this has caused effect some ages later.
That's some PhD thesis right there, ngl
Also senility started its effect on Joseph too, he was almost 80 in DiU. Due to Hamon, its effects were slow, but still effective.
Never realized how versatile Hermit Purple can be. If it has that big of a range to swing from buildings, then I think that's pretty cool.
One of my favorite stands for some reason. Its near the bottom of the food chain, but for some reason I have a soft spot for hermit purple.
Same here.
It's not that good for stand battles but it's so versatile everywhere else, it kinda reflects Joseph's role in part 3 really well since he's not supposed to be the star of the show, he gets a stand that has tons of utility but little offensive power.
@@insertnamehere3816 Joseph's hamon isn't strong enough to do any real damage to normal people.
The only being who could hurt humans with hamon was Ultimate Kars with Hamon around 100x stronger than Joseph's.
@@fly672 joseph when he was 12 left the chopper of a plane unconsious with hamon, and he never practiced hamon at that time.

@@Kevin_PR98 By "do damage" I meant "kill".
Hermit Purple is one of my favorite stands, it's just such a shame that we don't see more of it combined with Joseph's wit.
I would have loved to see the hamon conductivity explored more. Because that would make it a lot more uselfull in combat
Hermit Purple is hella underrated IMO, I get it's not as "flashy" (although I find everything about its design and sound work fucking great) but it legit suits Joseph so well and has so many cool uses on top of just being so aesthetically pleasing
KirbyisJericho 15 With everything it can do, it’s perfect for Joseph. Guy can think of a way out of any situation and Hermit Purple reflects how versatile he really is
Hermit purple is very useful, if you have already lost something and need to find It, and use it to wander around the city like Spiderman. This stand is very versatile.
1:38
Hold up,
did Joseph just "Wryyy"?
Holy shiet a jojo REFRERENECE in jojo
Dio is now proud
that’s why DIO killed him
@@nick-fil-a1297 not
@@nick-fil-a1297 the old boomer outlives everyone ;-;
One thing I love about Hermit Purple is that it not only shares the same sound design as Hamon but we can also constantly see Hamon generating and sparking out of the vines when Joseph uses it. It perfectly fits with how Araki originally designed it to be "A visualisation of the Ripple"
Hermit Purple is neat. There is a lot of humanoid stands and this dude just be a purple vibe vine
Almost every time Joseph uses Hermit Purple, we hear the sound of Hamon.
And this is indeed the sound of a Hamon, because when DIO uses Hermit Purple, the same sounds of Joseph's stand are heard, but without the sounds of Hamon
I just found out that hermit purple could be more powerful if only Joseph was still young. Old Joseph cannot predict people's next lines, but young Joseph can, that proves that age can change a stand's power.
He still can though, he did that trick on Empress
Lmao wdym
I feel so too
This is what I enjoy about JoJo - fights don't depend on what Stand you have. It's how you use it. Joseph has a weak Hermit Purple, but his clever trickster nature allows him to use it in creative and effective ways. And for instance Okuyasu has an overpowered The Hand, but he isn't smart enough to go any further than just brute force.
2:47 Hermit The Pepperoni
Lmao

Imagine clacker vollies but with hermit purple wire vines
If Wired Beck didn't shatter the rope of his clackers, he would still have them but maybe Joseph would have died.

“What?”- explodes
That could have happened.
borter567 It’s due to the power of plot armor

Great vid, Hermit Purple is my favorite stand. It has some very useful abilities.
Hermit Purple is extremely versatile and can works with tons of stuff.
Also Joseph : let's troll Jotaro with it.
ジョセフ「ハーミットパープル&波紋！」 DIO「クドい！」
Hermit Purple is just the improved version of Joseph saying: "You're next line is..."
That's true
I love how his stand manifested from his habit of predicting people.
It is amazing how much utility this stand has.
5:07 sooo that yellow aura around hermit purple means that Joseph used hamon in part 4
The thing is, Hermit Purple IS hamon, as evident by its sound and the energy that flows through it
@@stevepensando2593 yes it's basically hamon as a stand
@@ahmed4363 or Joseph wastes a bit of his hamon everytime he uses hp, not knowing he can use hp without hamon
5:07 Joseph's final hamon
5:07 The last time we saw Hermit Purple....
i would've been cool if joeseph faked being senile in part 4
He probably did tbh
Is probable that hi faked his senility.
Given how he's completely lucid whenever it matters in Part 4, I'm guessing he is.
@@RepublicOfUs Yeah, when he was in the boat meanwhile Okuyasu was with him, he was senile-ish. But when he saw/noticed Shizuka, he immediately warned Josuke about a stand user nearby and used Hermit Purple as well. He literally faked his senility so at least Josuke wouldn't go so harsh on him after leaving him for almost 10 years.
And even tough he had a cane to help him stand and walk he was perfectly able to run hold a baby and walk etc
I'm surprised even Joseph part 4 for a really old guy, still can use his hermit purple even tho he's too old and weak. But reality, he can use it with his strength still, I'm impressed.
Hermit Purple is the strongest stand, since young joseph had it, and it is able to read peoples minds. Araki confirmed that young Joseph had it, the rest is speculation based on evidences, like that scene were Joseph lifted the Red Aja by pure instinct.
Thats why Joseph never lost a fight, he has the most op ability of reading your opponents minds.
viniwizi hermit purple have the ability to read others mind yes, but joseph did not know about it therefore he can’t use it 100%. He use it without even knowing. If he does know about it however, he could have easily know about dio ability to stop time, therefore able to tell the others crusaders about it and they would win.
Nope.
This is wrong.
Araki said that the crusaders would see HP in Y. Joseph, but that's because HP is hamon in stand form (stated by Araki).
Also, Joseph predicting things people say is because he was a smart boi and could read people like books.
Hermit Purple is so powerful it can allow a sloppy plot to be retconned
If I was in the JoJo universe,I'd train Hamon,I think it's a lot more versatile than a lot of the Stands we have seen,you have Hermit Purple,you have the ability to create ripples of energy throughout surfaces,healing,super strength,future sight and all that is guaranteed whereas with Stands you have to take a chance
It honestly looks like Joseph channels the ripple through Hermit Purple on instinct, at least for the majority of times we see it, which means it's stats are probably a bit more deceiving than they let on, being stronger than projected, albeit not by much. Kinda fits the character honestly, his best ability has always been his skill at deception.
Imagine going to your favorite restaurant then seeing an old man shouting something like "hermit purple" then karate chopping a camera.
This is truly a bizarre adventure.

@@shiningjoot6369 it was hermit purple my guy no doubt.
@@shiningjoot6369 that was literally jossph using a vine stand, though it is unnamed, the reader is left to use their own thinking to tie the knots, therefore this is literally hermit purple regardless of if it was named or not
Ngl probably one of my all time favourite stands in all of jojo’s.
Mostly because it’s just hamon with purple vines that can do many cool things.
Hermit purple is the manifestation of hamon. So technically, anyone who knew how to use hamon would have been able to manifest it
3:41
Did joseph said "Wrryyy!"?
Hermit purple would make an amazing detective stand it could be used to find lost people, crime organizations, lost objects, *killers* still mad about part 4 even though he was a bit senile
Imagine if Joseph had hermit purple in battle tendency. He would have clearly won against the pillar men or at least a bit easier
Araki himself said that if the Crusaders traveled back to Part 2 they'd see Hermit Purple wrapped around Joseph
I never thought hermit purple was a bad stand, I just felt like that for Joseph it was very underwhelming, but now I think it’s perfect for him, a very crafty stand that only crafty people can utilize to its maximum potential
5:00 Ngl, the first time I saw the Hermit Purple dying as Joseph, I got scared
4:16 how in za warudo did dio not die from the hamon covering literally almost his entire body?
He literally ripped off hermit purple before the hamon got to him.

Hermit Purple is unironically powerful af. If Dio never had the Joestar stand(Joseph, Jonathan and Holy) he couldnt win since Joseph could easily find him and get some information about his capabilities. And with a plan he could use hamon to absolutely destroy Dio.
Edit: since it looks weird I want to mention that "win" here doesnt mean that dio won the whole joestar battle he just won against both kakyoin and joseph.
Hermit purple is very good in my opinion,you dont need to stop time or erase stuff from reality in normal life you can just give a little hit to a camera to see something you need use a bit of dirt to create a map and search what you need and stuff like that and in anime hermit was able to take control in a plane (death 13 episode) or see whats going on in a console And maybe look for information faster and "upload it" in yout head if you use it in a smartphone we never see it in so we are not going to know how this can going on but i think hermit is the best normal life stand ever
