The Passion

	Hey! This article contains NON-CANON information, so don't get confused!

“He's able to use a similar clairvoyance as Joseph because his body is Jonathan's from the neck down.”

— Araki in JOJO A-GO!GO! describing the Stand

The Passion
Japanese Name	パッション (Za Passhon)
User	Jonathan Joestar DIO
Namesake	"The Passion of the Christ" (biblical drama film) Hermit Purple
First Appearance	"DIO's Curse"
Latest Appearance	"Beyond II" (non-canon)

The Passion, also known sometimes as Hermit Purple or just Jonathan's Stand, is the Stand of Jonathan Joestar featured in Stardust Crusaders.

It is visually similar in appearance to Hermit Purple, and also contains similar abilities. It gives Jonathan the ability of precognition, and the power to psychically see the future of his own descendants. Due to DIO sharing Jonathan's body from Part 3 onward, he too is capable of using this Stand.

Physical Appearance

Similar to that of Hermit Purple, manifests itself as purple vines that wrap around Jonathan's body, most prominently in his hair, hand, arms, and most of his body.

In Jorge Joestar it takes the appearance of a crown of thorns, reminiscent of that of Jesus Christ's.

Powers and Abilities

Divination

The Stand was likely always able to be used by Jonathan due to his mastery of Hamon, similar to Joseph's Stand. DIO was able to conjure it due to possessing Jonathan's body, but Jonathan himself never knowingly activated the Stand.

• Divination - Hermit Purple's main ability is to divine information. By using any object or material in conjunction with Hermit Purple, Joseph Joestar can display any information he wishes to see. To date, he has used Hermit Purple to:
  • Produce psychic photographs by destroying a camera. Once broken, the camera produces a photograph which reveals the information as it is in that moment of time, such as an image of a person in their current situation. The Passion is used for divination purposes, such as being able to see where other people are at a given time and produce psychic images of events that are far away. Rose petals are also presented around the Stand similar to a type of aura.
  • They also likely conduct Hamon.

Notes

• The theory is that Jonathan and Joseph have similar Stands because Hermit Purple, or Stands like Hermit Purple, are the common "Hamon User's Stand," meaning that all those who have mastered Hamon to great capacity are able to manifest a Hermit Purple-like Stand if it were awakened in them.
  • This is evident in that Araki once stated that if the Stardust Crusaders were to go back in time and meet Joseph during Part 2, he would appear with Hermit Purple wrapped around his body.
• With DIO able to use The Passion, this makes him the first Stand User to possess multiple Stands at the same time without the need of outside aid.
  • Emporio wielding Burning Down the House as well as Weather Report in the final chapter of Stone Ocean does not count as this seeing as he was only able to wield Weather Report because Pucci pushed in the Weather Report Stand disc into his head.
