Walk Like an Egyptian
Walk Like an Egyptian is the name of the second ending of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Anime. The song is a number-one hit by The Bangles in 1986.
Ending
The ending animation begins with Star Platinum clapping its hands before reopening them. A clock appears, wrapped in green flames and presumably the vines of Hermit Purple. The clock's hands swiftly tick away before morphing into an arrow that rapidly moves along a sandy background before moving onto to a slideshow of the current Joestar group (Jotaro, Kakyoin, Avdol, Joseph and Polnareff in that order) accompanied by their Stands and sporting the Tarot cards that each individual Stand is named after. There are also certain transitions, such as Avdol's image briefly changing to that of an ankh on a rapidly circling background which morphs into the vines of Hermit Purple, and the subsequent shot of Joseph as well. The final shot of the credits sequence is of a multi-coloured eye, which contains an image of Cairo, as well as the silhouettes of the Joestar group journeying toward it. The ending fades out as the eye slowly closes.

All the old paintings on the tombs, If they move too quick (Oh whey oh) All the bazaar men by the Nile, For the crocodiles (Oh whey oh) they snap their teeth Foreign types with their hookah pipes say The blond waitresses take their trays All the school kids so sick of books, All the kids in the marketplace say: Slide your feet up the street Life is hard you know (Oh whey oh) If you want to find all the cops All the Japanese with their yen All the cops in the donut shop say: | ||
Trivia
- The beginning of the opening shows Star Platinum's hands opening and then showing a clock. This may be a reference to his time stop ability, since this scene may show that he can time resume or even time stop, by instead of opening his hands on the clock, closing these on it.
- During the closing animation, a clock entangled in purple vines can be seen briefly at the start. This clock and the vines enveloping it appear to reference Dio's Stand, The World and Jonathan's Hermit Purple like Stand.
- Afterwards, a hand from the clock turns into an arrow snaking across a sandy-coloured background. The head of the arrow is shaped exactly like that of the Stand Arrow.
- There is an error in the ending for episodes 3 and 4 where Muhammad Avdol is shown having two right hands, ironically like the Geil's mother-and-son tandem. This mistake is fixed in episode 5.
