Diego doesn't count as Too Cool To Live since he doesn't overshadow Johnny and Gyro while he was alive, and he dies too late in the part, so he was given enough time to live. Plus, just mentioning the death of a major character with no spoiler markup is not a good idea.

* DesignatedVillain: Quite a few fans consider Diego to be this, especially compared to his alternate world counterpart [[spoiler:--both of them]]. Whereas Dio weasels his way into the Joestar family, taking Jonathan's father's love, killing his dog and ultimately ruining Jonathan's life (and by extension the lives of all his descendants), Diego is... a really good jockey who Johnny's dad just happens to like and is mildly antagonistic to Johnny as a competitor in the race, even [[spoiler:eventually working towards Johnny and Gyro's goal of killing Valentine, albeit in his own way]]. He's searching after the Corpse Parts just like everyone else, but outside of some JerkAss moments, doesn't do anything that would cement him as significantly more evil than the rest; the closest he gets is leaving Wekapipo to die in order to understand [=D4C=]'s ability as well as the unproven rumor that he married an old woman and poisoned her to inherit her fortune. One has to take into account Dio's father. One can point at his mistreatment of Dio and say that he's the reason why Dio is very evil. Diego was raised by his mother and, while having a hard life, grew up without having to get beaten to eat. While he is still "evil", he's no where near DIO's level, and fundamentally, a different character altogether.

* {{Woolseyism}}: The French translation does its best with some of the [[LostInTranslation harder-to-translate puns]]:
** Diego's joke about escaping a cougar by running towards a nest of rattlesnakes (which, in the FanTranslation, is because they were ''ssss''leeping) adds that the reason the snakes were sleeping is because their alarm clock didn't ring, which works since the French word for rattlesnake translates to "ringer snake". It also adds a second joke about the cougar telling him to beware. ("Gare à toi!", which becomes "cou-gare à toi!")

Deleted line(s) 32 (click to see context) :
** Araki has yet to confirm if the ''Steel Ball Run'' universe is the one that was created at the end of ''Stone Ocean''. Several statements made by him afterwards seem to suggest, that it exists in a completely different continuity to the first six parts. However, many fans believe that it is, since Johnny, Gyro, Lucy, and Diego are clear counterparts of characters in the first six parts, in a similar vein to the counterparts introduced at the end of ''Stone Ocean''.
