And also even if Part 6 is not that popular, I'm sure DP will do a good job with the adaptation.
It was a great adaptation. The problem was a lot of people just watched it on free streaming sites and whatnot rather than buying the DVDs and merchandise, which is a large part of how the studio makes money.

Yeah. If you think about it for a moment Diavolo's fate is actually really horrifying and unfair. As rotten a dude as Diavolo is, he's still only a single human who committed a finite amount of evil deeds in his life. For him to get a literal eternity of torment is inherently disproportionate because after a while his suffering will eclipse all that he inflicted on his victims. Heck, after experiencing eons of agonizing deaths could you really even say he's the same Diavolo who deserved the sentence in the first place? I imagine after that long he'd pretty much be just an empty shell who wouldn't have any thoughts of hurting people or wanting to be a gang boss anymore.
Then again, that's my same problem with the whole concept of Hell, so I guess any religious believer content with the former idea could be okay with Diavolo's fate too. Personally, it bothers me enough that I like to headcanon that GER's effect ends either when Giorno eventually dies or with Part 6 spoilersthe universe reboot, so Diavolo would merely have a very large but finite punishment instead of a literally infinite one. Because that's just effed up.
