It's more to indicate that the guy launching thorns at her isn't attacking her, but is trying to help her.
If a combat experienced meguca sees a weird old man gesture at them before random purple vines/thorns shoot out of his hand at them, it'd be reasonable for them to have instincts telling them to dodge.

Or it's absolutely pointless because Kyouko is more concerned about the witch inches away from biting her head off.

Also I'm pretty sure we're behind her and that she does not have eyes on the back of her head.

Edit: Also I'm pretty sure "watch out" means it's something she needs to avoid instead of something trying to pull her away.

You do know it's very likely Kyoko can't even see Hermit Purple, right?
 
I believe I found the perfect song for when this Joseph gets back in gear:

listen with captions.

[14]Watch out!
-[14] Pull the girl away from the Stand with Hermit Purple!
[6] Pull the girl away from the Stand with Hermit Purple!
[2] Try to pull the chandelier down on it with your Stand!
[5] Use Hermit Purple to foul the Stand's wings!
[2] DIIIOOOOO!
-[2] Wait, that's not who you're fighting now. Use Hermit Purple to pull the girl away from the Enemy Stand
[1] Bind the Stand's mouth shut with Hermit Purple!
[1] Watch Out!
-[1] Use Hermit Purple to make a makeshift ball gag out of vines in the enemy stand's mouth to keep it from biting.
[1] Forget what you're doing here.
-[1] Oh boy delicious cookie dough!

"Watch out!" You shout a warning to the girl, making her look back at you and oh that isn't what you meant to happen.

Inspiration races through your mind as a multicolored dragon bursts fully out of its princess shell of overbaked cookie, and even as the great beast lunges forward Hermit Purple grabs the slip of a girl by the ankles and pulls her legs out from under her, causing the dragon's jaws to clash shut just over her head.

You stumble forward, pulled by Hermit Purple where it comes out of your hand even as you pull the smaller girl, jarring your shoulder and sending a lance of pain that reminds you you're not as young as you used to be.

The girl tumbles away from the Stand while you're recovering and sweeps her spear out in a horizontal arc that cuts its legs out from under it. The limbs skid away on the slick wooden floors, dissolving into heaps of tiny multicolored candies that the girl dances lightly over.

"YAAH!" She shouts, and brings her spear down like an executioners axe onto the dragon's neck. Spikes of green, red, and purple candy flare to stop the weapon, but it cuts right through them and separates the head from neck with one clean slice!

The dragon-Stand screams and wails voicelessly, then explodes into a cloud of black mist that slows, then quickly condenses into a small shiny thing that rings like a bell when it hits the floor.

The girl in the red jacket- really it's more like a really fancy jacket with tails than a dress- swoops in to snatch it up. Then she rounds on you, spear held at the ready. "Who are you, huh?" She demands aggressively.

"Joseph Joestar." You say, and touch the brim of your hat with your right hand. "Who're you, brat?"

"Sakura Kyoko." She says, and snatches up a bundle of the candies on the ground. After looking at them dubiously, she drops them. "And who are you calling a brat?"

You give her your best steady look, which isn't really that good any more. "You, brat. You know how to get out of this place, or is my w . . . my daughter going to kill me because I died of eating too much bad candy?"

"Tsh." The girl's hands move as if searching for pockets, but find none. She doesn't look very old, sixteen at the most.
"And I called you a brat because you're not even old enough to drive, girl." You snap, and tap your cane on the floor. "Now get over here and show your elder where the exit is."

"There is no exit." She sneers. "You may have blundered through the labyrinth through some miracle of luck, but you're going to get eaten by a familiar before the barrier goes down, and I'm not going to burden myself with some half-dead old man."

"That hurts." You protest. "Joseph Joestar does not blunder."

The girl in red darts forward in response, hand reaching out to snatch your glasses off your face in a familiar motion, and you react on instinct.

Hermit Purple- you already know that it can touch her, which means that she's got a lot of fighting spirit, so she should also be able to-

"Kyoko!"

The girl aborts the attack, spear still held at the ready, but . . .

You don't see who it was that called out to her, but Kyoko glances off to the side, where there's not anything.

"Kyoko, what is that?"

"Just some old man."

Oh hell no you aren't just 'some old man', you're- you're- You're not going to just stand here and watch a teenager with a spear talk to some invisible being! You get enough of that at home! You're Joseph Joestar, and you know exactly how to get out of this place.

Mechanic: Heroic Willpower. You can ignore injury, fatigue, handicaps, and even age itself for a short while by using Heroic Willpower. Unfortunately, they don't come back after you use them, and you start with four (4). If there comes to be a juncture where you might want to use one, I'll prompt you, but you can always add "and use Heroic Willpower" to a vote to add the same enhancing effect to an action that doesn't need it.
 
Joseph corrected himself. He started to say "wife" but then said that his "daughter" would kill him. Is Suzi Q dead?
 
Let's be honest. Unless Joseph got so lost he fell out of his universe, there's no way the bunnycat doesn't know what a stand is.

We can change fate with pure determination and idealism? I approve of this system.

When in Rome, do as the Magical Girls do.
And it's something our son does, and we did fight Caesar before we became friends...

Probably. Also, we were at her tender mercies for nearly a month, and she never told anyone we were alive.

Depending on how corrupted her Soul Gem becomes in the fight try to "befriend" Kyouko could go horribly wrong.

You know, Nanoha style befriending is kind of a dickish thing to do when the other party has limited energy reserves, dies when it runs out and has to risk her life to get more.
Just saying.
