List of Unnamed Stands
There are some cases in which the name of a Stand power is either unclear or unknown. This page is to list all such Stands until a name for them has officially been confirmed.
Holy's Stand
Manga Debut: Chapter 121, The Power of a 'Stand'
Anime Debut: Episode 29, DIO's Curse
Holy Kujo acquired a Stand after DIO's awakening in Stardust Crusaders. Although most Stands are used for fighting, this Stand worked against Holy. Her gentle, non-violent soul made her lack the mental strength necessary to control the Stand, slowly making her ill with a harmful high fever and nearly ending her life by the end of Part 3. It takes on the form of raspberries and thorns, similar to father Joseph Joestar's Stand Hermit Purple, growing at the center of her back. However, as time passes by, the Stand starts to grow from every part of her body, to the point of covering the whole body as if it was being eaten away. Calling Holy's Stand an actual "Stand" is being very generous because it works against its user, barely moves at all, and so far as it is known, has no abilities or powers (other than giving Holy the ability to see other Stands), so it could just be considered a Stand-like infection. Holy's Stand also can't harm others, passing through even other Stand users who try to touch it. It's worth mentioning, however, that Holy's Stand wasn't fully formed yet, and she simply lacked the fighting spirit to control it properly; hence its self-destructive capabilities. How it would have turned out if she had the ability to properly manifest and control it is unknown.
Jonathan's Stand
Manga Debut: Chapter 122, Leaving Towards Egypt
Anime Debut: Episode 29, DIO's Curse
Along with activating his own Stand The World, it was stated that DIO's semi-precognitive abilities that seemed to have resulted from a Hermit Purple-like Stand were due to a Stand power that awoke in the body of Jonathan Joestar.[1] Similar to Hermit Purple, it can produce a psychic photograph by striking a camera (although the camera is notably not destroyed, unlike Joseph's usage, implying it to be a more efficient version of Joseph's Hermit Purple). DIO used this technique to track the Joestars and their friends' current location to send Stand users after them. This Stand is also capable of showing an image present in someone's heart through a crystal ball. DIO used it to show Polnareff one image of J. Geil, as that image represented the pain Polnareff felt in his heart. The fact that this version of Hermit Purple manifested within Jonathan's body could possibly explain why Joseph has Hermit Purple as well.
- According to the JoJo novel Over Heaven, the Stand is also called Hermit Purple, but is referred to as "Hermit Purple #2".
- In contrast, in the JoJo novel Jorge Joestar, the Stand is given the name The Passion (
情熱 , Za Passhon) and has the ability to view the past and future of the user's blood relatives (including a relative in another universe).
Nijimura's Father's Stand
Manga Debut: Chapter 281, The Nijimura Brothers (8)
It is implied that Nijimura's Father had a Stand, having been recruited by DIO during his Stand search. Its name, appearance and abilities are still unknown, but its ability may have been the cause for the patriarch's immortality after being infected by the spore. It's possible that it wasn't an ability suited for fighting, as he wasn't sent to kill the Joestar group.
Natural Resources Worker's Stand
Manga Debut: Chapter 552, Pronto! On the Line (2)
One of the workers mentioned by Polnareff to Buccellati's gang gained a Stand after hurting himself on Meteorite stone in a volcano.
During his coma, he made sparkle with his right hand, burning a doctor's fingers.
Boiling Water Stand
Manga Debut: SO Chapter 90, Whitesnake - The Pursuer (2)
During his fight with F.F., Enrico Pucci used an ability disc that boils the water from a water fountain to kill F.F.
Emporio's Mother's Stand
Emporio's mother had her ability stolen by Pucci before being killed; it's implied that her ability was similar to Burning Down the House.
Emerald Searcher's Stand
Manga Debut: SBR Chapter 13, The Sheriff's Request to Mountain Tim (Mentioned only)
When investigating the murders of three participants of the Steel Ball Run (having been exploded by the Boom Boom Family's Tomb of the Boom), Mountain Tim recalled the story of an emerald searcher who, after entering Arizona's desert, developed an ability which killed in a similar fashion.
Hato's Stand
Manga Debut: JJL Chapter 54, JJL Chapter 54
The stand takes on a feminine humanoid-appearance almost entirely comprised of long, thin, rigid strands. It lacks a nose and a mouth, having only emotionless lens-like eyes and long, rigid hair. On its chest is a large heart, surrounded by a smaller heart on each side and a heart-shaped collar around its neck. Around its waist is a belt with several ridges and another heart in the middle.
The stand allows Hato to extend the heels of her shoes into deadly spikes. The lengths of these spikes can vary depending on what Hato desires, reaching anywhere from under a meter to several meters. Hato can use these spikes to allow herself to walk up walls and other vertical surfaces, acting as makeshift grappling shoes. Most prominently, however, they can be used as weapons, as seen when Hato employs them in concert with a rapid series of kicks to repeatedly skewer Tamaki Damo from a distance.
Kaato's Stand
Manga Debut: JJL Chapter 55, JJL Chapter 55
Kaato Higashikata's Stand appears to take the form of a simple deck of playing cards. However, by placing an object between two halves of the deck, she can store that object in the deck itself as if nothing was there.
The Gucci Bag Stand
Spin-Off Debut: Rohan Kishibe Goes to Gucci
This is the Stand of an unnamed genius artisan from the Gucci brand, who bound it to a Gucci bag. It is mentioned that three bags with the same ability were made by the artisan, making it possible his Stand can grant its ability to an unlimited number of bags. Anyone can use the bags, even if they are not Stand users themselves. It has the ability to vanish valuable things that the owner keeps in the bag. When the owner of the bag is in trouble, the bag will return the vanished objects in some way (the objects do not appear at the bag, but the owner will recover them in an unexpected event).
Rohan Kishibe's grandmother had one of those bags and gave it to Rohan Kishibe. Rohan, not knowing the ability was due to a Stand, made the Gucci factory fix the bag (probably the artisan unbounded his Stand from it), but, after knowing the bag's true nature, the mangaka lamented for not being able to use it anymore.
Stand User's Stand
Game Debut: Famicom Jump II: Saikyo no Shichinin
PEPSIMAN
Pepsiman (ペプシマン Pepushi no otoko), as this officially unnamed Stand is dubbed by the fans, was planned to be put into multiple parts of the series. It was planned to be a Stand used by a minor antagonist called Craig E. Weatherup in Part IV, Diamond is Unbreakable. It's rumored that once Hirohiko Araki saw a tie-in game for both Pepsiman and Part IV, he demanded that development of the game be ceased immediately and scrapped Pepsiman and Weatherup's minor story arc later that day. There is more evidence that Pepsiman and Weatherup would be featured in Part V, Vento Aureo, and Pepsiman would've been given his name here as well. His arc would begin with a down-on-his-luck Weatherup losing his job as CEO of the Pepsi company, and making the only possible decision for someone in his position to make, and he formed his own gang. He accidentally crosses Bruno Buccellati's path, pitting the two gang leaders, and therefore, their gangs, against each other. When an unnamed Stand user with a Stand known as Coke Woman (コークスウーマン Kōkusuūman) joined Passione, the members of Buccellati's gang would have to pick a side. Giorno would begrudgingly as he prefered the taste of Coke to the taste of Pepsi. But when Araki made Bruno join Weatherup's gang, he realized the only way to settle the feud would be for one of these aspiring gang-stars to kill the other, therefore scrapping Pepsiman yet again. Weatherup and his Stand would be planned to return, but with two mysteries added to his appearance: the strange absence of Coke Woman entirely and the lack of plans to include Pepsiman in Part VI, Stone Ocean, as nothing more than advertisements for Pepsi in newspapers in the story arc. Pepsiman would be planned to appear alongside of another man named Craig E. Weatherup in Part VII, Steel Ball Run. However, Pepsiman's name and appearance wouldn't change from the way he was planned to look in Part V, but Weatherup's appearance would. Once again a minor antagonist, he and Pepsiman would be killed off before the end of the first leg of the race, but he was scrapped yet again, possibly for copyright reasons. There is speculation that Pepsiman will return alongside Weatherup in Part VIII, JoJolion, as the main villain and Stand. Araki has yet to answer this question, waiting for the big reveal of the main villain in the manga itself. There is evidence that Pepsiman would have a special attack, although it's name is up for debate. Most fans call it either Fountain Dream or Soft Dream, both of them relating to names for soda. The attack would feature Pepsiman taking a fountain drink machine with only Pepsi drink options, such as Mountain Dew, 7-Up, and Diet Pepsi, and hitting every button rapidly, with every jet of the soft drinks having the power of 10 fountain drink machine jets, making Pepsiman's power as he uses this attack greater than the strongest of all Stands. At the end of the attack, he would break the machine, forcing all of the soda out towards the opponent, and forcing them into what's commonly referred to as a "sugar crash," forcing them asleep and where the word "dream" plays into his attack. His battle cry is up for dispute; most fans say that he would say "PEPU" as he hit the various buttons on the machine, and the ending would have him cry "PEPU-SI!!" There are others that say he would cry "SODA" instead. His special attack would be replaced by the Steel Water Jet in Part VII, which would have him launch multiple jets of water out of his hands with the same force as Fountain/ Soft Dream. These jets would contain Steel Balls in them, making this attack even more powerful than his original special attack. Pepsiman is also known for his ability to get his tasks, which Weatherup calls games, "done quick" in a particularly awesome fashion in winter, or in an ordinary way in the summer.
