Ghost in the Machine



Ghost in the Machine is the name of the stand acquired by Holly Jostar Kujo after Dio Brando's awakening. Although most stands are used for fighting, Ghost in the Machine worked against Holly's gentile, non-violent soul and slowly made her sick, nearly ending her life near the ending volumes of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series 3: Stardust Crusaders. It takes on the form of a vine, much like her father, Joseph Jostar's stand, Hermit Purple. Calling Ghost in the Machine an actual "stand" is being very generous because it works against its user, barely moves at all, and so far as we know, has no abilities or powers, so it could just be considered a stand-like infection.
