JoJo: Golden Spirit — Joseph Joestar (SR) Guide
Joseph Joestar is a confirmed SR unit from Part 3 in JoJo: Golden Spirit (fighting style not yet revealed). Here’s who they are and whether they’re worth chasing at launch.
⚠️ Pre-launch note: Joseph’s exact skills, stats and star-up path aren’t public until the August 13 launch. This page covers the confirmed facts (rarity, Part, style) and his source material — we add the full kit on day one.
Who is Joseph Joestar?
Joseph is the returning veteran of the Joestar line — the Part 2 hero who comes back in Part 3: Stardust Crusaders as an older mentor and the grandfather of Jotaro. Once a brash Hamon user famous for outsmarting foes rather than overpowering them, he now anchors the group with the same cunning, misdirection and last-second trickery that always kept him a step ahead of stronger opponents.
Stand: Hermit Purple
In Part 3, Joseph’s age awakens a Stand: Hermit Purple, a tangle of thorny purple vines. It’s a poor brawler by Stand standards, but it shines as a tool of divination — Joseph smashes a camera or a crystal ball and forces Hermit Purple through it to produce spirit photographs, cryptic images that reveal a hidden enemy’s location or the shape of a threat to come. It turns him into the party’s scout and reader of clues rather than a front-line hitter.
