I had thought something different about Diavolo: a reformed Diavolo (the same from part 5) appears on this part: it turns out you may leave GER's endless death loop only if your actions and will start to adapt to GER's ideology ("Righteous actions born of truth shall never be destroyed"). After countless deaths Diavolo starts reflecting about his life and thinking about what things he could've done differently, about him not being evil (perhaps being helped by GER itself in a sense, imagine one of his deaths being himself almost dying in a bed, surrounded by Trish and Donatella lamenting he's dying).

Then he discovers the time it takes for him to die will slowly start to expand the more humanity he develops. He appears by sheer chance in the SBR universe and he has reformed enough to live up to 10 years into it. He'd be eventually able to leave the loop entirely if he fully reforms. He may be like 40-50 years depending on the year this hypothetical part may happen.

He has no King Crimson yet he knows about stands, he can't get another stand by any way yet he may provide analitical, tactical or financial help to the MC (a Speedwagon alike role). He may still be a little brash, ruthless and paranoid indicating he still has room to grow and he still has to improve to be able to set himself free.
