Before the race, as his name was called, Muratake struck a pose by placing his left hand near his face, reminiscent of the famous "JoJo pose" from the popular anime JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. This unexpected display delighted fans, who took to social media with reactions like, "He pulls off what we can't, and it's electrifying!" and "Athletes really know how to make it look cool. Amazing!" Others praised the visual impact, saying, "The composition of Rachid Muratake's JoJo pose is incredible."

In a post-race interview, Muratake revealed, "I thought it would be fun to do, so I struck a JoJo pose."
