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 her 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.
Joestar Stand
(首から下はジョナサンの肉体を乗っ取っているため、ジョセフと同じ透視能力が使える。, Kubi kara shita wa Jonasan no nikutai o nottotteiru tame, Josefu to onaji tōshinōryoku ga tsukaeru.)
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 JOJO'S BIZARRE ADVENTURE OVER HEAVEN, the Stand is also called Hermit Purple.
- 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 Bucciarati'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.
Kaato's Stand
Manga Debut: JJL Chapter 55, Walking Heart, Breaking Heart
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.
Unnamed Pursuing Stand
Manga Debut: JJL Chapter 65, The Plant Appraiser, Part 2
The unnamed Stand pursuing Rai Mamezuku belongs to an unknown assailant. The Stand is a colony of pointed geode-like creatures who melt the flesh of anyone touching them, creating holes and entering inside the body to decompose it further. The Stand is shown to control and shift trees, manipulating the entire trunk, branches and roots which allows the Stand to travel underground undetected. Being able to chase Rai while on a moving bus across the countryside, the Stand is a long-range colony type. The primary weakness of the Stand are urban or industrialized locations where there either aren't any trees to control or the roots are heavily impeded by concrete covering the soil. The Stand's other weakness is its severe lack of physical range, with the Stand itself only able to hop and spin around a few centimeters at a time. This weakness is negated by having the Stand manipulate trees and roots to deliver the fatal Stand as close to its target as possible.
As Rai points out, once the Stand has made its way into the body it is impossible to remove, requiring immediate amputation to prevent death.
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
