Hermit Purple is a Hamon Stand tied to Joseph's natural affinity with the Ripple. Since Giorno is the biological son of Jonathan, it stands to reason that he would inherit a stand of a similar nature. Despite the fact that Giorno is not practiced in the art of sendo, Gold Experience is able to apply life-energy in a number of unique applications, such as overloading a person's senses and detecting living prescences within a given space. As if to parrallel this, Part 7's Tusk and Ball Breaker are Spin stands with Spin itself being that universe's version of Hamon.
