Source Following his conquest of the pillar men, the next 47 years of Joseph's life would be fairly peaceful, marrying Suzie Q, becoming a wealthy world-wide real estate agent, and doting on his daughter, Holly Joestar, though he would never respect her husband, Sadao Kujo, for leaving her at home while traveling as a musician. However, his life would be turned upside down when he suddenly manifested his Stand, Hermit Purple. In his first summoning, he destroyed an expensive camera in a single motion, which spat out a picture of a man he had never met, but intimately knew; Dio Brando. Fearing the worst for his daughter, he flew to Japan under the guise of an extended business trip, instead working with his friend Abdul to fully manifest the newly-awakened Stand of his grandson, Jotaro Kujo, so that he could begin controlling it. That day only confirmed his fears, however, when Jotaro was attacked by one of DIO's assassins, though this "Noriaki Kakyoin" was a kindhearted Stand user being mind controlled by their shared adversary and promptly allied himself with the three men after being freed from DIO's spell, and when Holly suddenly collapsed, being poisoned by DIO's evil through the distress call being sent from his body; or rather that of his adoptive brother, Joseph's grandfather, Jonathan Joestar. Alongside his companions, later including Polnareff, another of DIO's brainwashed minions, and Iggy, a dog Stand user apprehended by the Speedwagon Foundation, Joseph traveled the globe by foot, plane, boat, car, and camel to confront DIO in Egypt. While Joseph was instrumental in discerning DIO's Stand power, even his Hamon was ultimately no match, being temporarily killed by DIO, his own blood strengthening DIO's connection to Jonathan's body. After Jotaro defeated DIO, only taking a few seconds outside of stopped time, DIO's blood was transfused back into Joseph, who used his Hamon to purge it of DIO's vampiric essence. From then on, Joseph truly settled down, only participating in one more adventure, and in a much more indirectly supportive role.
