I will say right out of the gate that not all of the characters make it through their respective arcs, and even the characters that do survive won't be around forever (the series spans over 100 years), but Araki's (the author's) greatest strength is giving characters worthy send offs. And even though characters you might like don't stick around forever, there's always others who show up to take their place. That's another ability of Araki's: to make you care about every main character that he introduces, whether it's in the first episode or the 74th.
