Aozora BunkoHe thanked me with a smiling nod, measured out a few minims of the red tincture and added one of the powders. The mixture, which was at first of a reddish hue, began, in proportion as the crystals melted, to brighten in colour, to effervesce audibly, and to throw off small fumes of vapour. Suddenly and at the same moment, the ebullition ceased and the compound changed to a dark purple, which faded again more slowly to a watery green. My visitor, who had watched these metamorphoses with a keen eye, smiled, set down the glass upon the table, and then turned and looked upon me with an air of scrutiny.Why is Purple Haze purple?Dr. Lanyon's InvestigationAfterwordHenry Jekyll's Full Statement of the CaseWhen I realized that the "correct" color for the first test was supposed to be "dark purple", it got my brain ticking.Book Card:Cited workThe red Hyde is Fugo's color (like the Super Action Statue). The green Jekyll is also Fugo's color (All Star Battle). Between the two phases is purple, Purple Haze's color. That's the reason why I think it is.The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. HydeI sent out for a fresh supply, and mixed the draught; the ebullition followed, and the first change of colour, not the second; I drank it and it was without efficiency. (abridged) I am now persuaded that my first supply was impure, and that it was that unknown impurity which lent efficacy to the draught.Abbachio said, "It strikes like an explosion... And leaves as quickly as a storm... That is that Stand's personality.", but Purple Haze is something Fugo wants to keep hidden. He wants to hide it, in other words. On February 5, 2013, or "Fugo's Day", I was thinking this when I saw a poster for the musical "Jekyll and Hide" on a doodle blog. I wanted to write about Fugo and his "hide".Even that wasn't entirely true. Hyde despised Jekyll quite a bit, but Jekyll felt a kinship with his other half.... Jekyll wasn't "reason",However, when I sat down and read "Jekyll and Hyde", my thoughts took on a different meaning. It appears I was mistaken. What I mean is that when the "logical" Jekyll drank the drug and changed into Hyde (his representation of brutality and instinct), he didn't completely leave reason to the wind. Rather, I thought both sides of his persona corresponded with one another.Before that even, his ingestion of the drug itself was a failure. If he had obtained the proper ingredients the first time around, it wouldn't have changed into an irregular hue and he could have stopped the transformation. He could have prevented Hyde's birth and Jekyll wouldn't have needed to ruin anything.he was human. He was an imbecile who wavered on the fine line of darkness between "reason" and "cruelty". He had the audacity to think to himself, "Uho, when I finish this drug, I can do (whatever) I want!", without ever having to face the responsibilities of reality. On one hand, while Jekyll can embody the tragedies of good intentions, he was a horrible adult. It's possible to twist his struggle into a morale lesson for lecturing on how to stay good. Jekyll teeters on the edge of losing control and thinks with clarity, "I have had my share of good and bad times, yet I get more fun out of life being cruel to those ignorant masses". In those type of moments, he would change into Hyde. His cruelty could have been on impulse; it could have been an attempt to repress himself; but it doesn't change that Jekyll never wanted to part ways with Hyde.
