Hermit Purple (ハーミット・パープル) is the Stand of Joseph Joestar. It is featured in Part III: Stardust Crusaders and, to a lesser extent, in Part IV: Diamond is Unbreakable.

It is named after the tarot card The Hermit [1] of the Major Arcana.

Abilities

It manifests as multiple purple thorny vines that spawn from Joseph's right hand. Apart from combat purposes, this versatile stand can perform remarkable feats. It can produce psychic photographs and live psychic videos on a television, but at the expense of a camera and television, respectively. It can also conjure real-time maps (capable of tracking moving subjects) and (apparently) read minds. Hermit Purple can even make a map out of the dust on an unpaved road. Joseph can also use the vines to swing himself around like Spider-Man. Joseph can transmit hamon through Hermit Purple as an extension of his body.
