Devil's Palm

A Devil's Palm (悪魔の手のひら, Akuma no Tenohira) is a phenomenon featured in the seventh and eighth parts of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Steel Ball Run and JoJolion. They emerge around the Saint Corpse Parts, in each of the locations Jesus Christ gave on a map of North America to Joseph of Arimathea.

Summary

When Jesus Christ died on the western coast of North America, a great storm and earthquake tore and reshaped the land, which divided his Corpse into 9 Parts that would be carried by animals and other forces of nature eastwards.

Carrying the Corpse Parts while migrating around the country and appearing in seemingly random places, Devil's Palms occasionally ensnare people, occasionally granting them Stands, or, still less often, a Corpse Part.[1]

As the Boomboom Family explain, those passing through them are forever changed. Along with the Corpse Parts themselves, surviving a period in any of these locations seems to be the only way to develop a Stand. Johnny Joestar obtained his first Corpse Part from a Devil's Palm in Monument Valley, soon discovering his Stand Tusk, and Mountain Tim obtained his Stand Oh! Lonesome Me in a similar location.

It was revealed that the Devil's Palms are sacred sites to Rock Humans, and that there is a direct link between the Devil's Palms and Morioh.[2]
