Modern Crusaders

"Modern Crusaders" is a 2000 song by the German experimental music project from their fourth studio album . It is used as the second ending theme for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind.

Ending Animation
The ending sequence vertically pans up a pillar decorated with statues of Stands encountered in the series, which changes as more enemies and allies are met as the series progresses (the original sequence did not feature Notorious B.I.G, Spice Girl, Metallica, Green Day or Oasis, but following their introduction they were added to the ending sequence). During the entire sequence, the scenery is plunged in a colored ambient lighting that constantly shifts color and flakes of dust constantly fall from above. The frame is also flanked by two sets of patterns made up of tessellated triangles.

The beginning of the sequence pans up the column featuring the enemy Stands encountered thus far, with a sphere representing Rolling Stones at the base of the pillar, with statues of other Stands on the pillar itself: Black Sabbath, Soft Machine, Kraft Work, Little Feet, Man in the Mirror, Mister President, Beach Boy, The Grateful Dead, Baby Face, White Album, Clash, Talking Head, Notorious B.I.G, Metallica, Green Day and Oasis.

The procession of enemy Stands ends, with a part of the pillar crowned by four Arrows and a ladybug brooch, before moving onto the Stands of the heroes doing battle with the boss. Purple Haze, Chariot Requiem, Moody Blues, Aerosmith, Sticky Fingers, and King Crimson, with Sticky Fingers and King Crimson depicted as fighting against each other as the Sex Pistols watch. Spice Girl lays underneath Gold Experience, pointing up at it as it poses at the top of the pillar in the center of a bas-relief resembling rays of light.
