Ending Animation

Director:	Yasufumi Soejima
Storyboard:	Yasufumi Soejima
Animation Director:	Masahiko Komino
Key Aniamtion:	Takahito Takayama

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.

Lyrics

English Lyrics
All the old paintings on the tombs, They do the sand dance, Don't you know? If they move too quick (Oh whey oh) They're falling down like a domino. All the bazaar men by the Nile, He got the money on a bet. For the crocodiles (Oh whey oh) they snap their teeth On your cigarette. Foreign types with their hookah pipes say (Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh) Walk like an Egyptian. The blond waitresses take their trays They spin around and they cross the floor; They got the moves. (Oh whey oh) You drop your drink then they bring you more. All the school kids so sick of books, They like the punk and the metal band. When the buzzer rings, (Oh whey oh) They're walking like an Egyptian. All the kids in the marketplace say: (Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh) Walk like an Egyptian. Slide your feet up the street Bend your back Shift your arm and then you pull it back. Life is hard you know (Oh whey oh) So strike a pose on a Cadillac. If you want to find all the cops They're hanging out in the donut shop. They sing and dance (Oh whey oh) Spin the clubs cruise down the block. All the Japanese with their yen The party boys call the Kremlin And the Chinese know (Oh whey oh) They walk the line like Egyptian. All the cops in the donut shop say: (Ay oh whey oh, ay oh whey oh) Walk like an Egyptian Walk like an Egyptian.

Trivia

• The ending transition shows Star Platinum's hands opening up to a clock, possibly referencing it's time stop ability.
• The clock entangled in purple vines likely references 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.
