No. Reincarnation means they never really experience the consequence of death, so the latter is equivalent to no punishment at all. The more important consideration for both is how they exist between getting run over.

I dunno man, seems like you're presupposing death is worse than eternal torment, which is debatable.

I believe OP is conflating reincarnation with resurrection. I believe the concept of reincarnation is incompatible with the hypothetical.

This assumes the amount of excruciating pain and horror of being run over by a trolley before death is zero, and while I haven't been run over by a trolley personally, I'd have to imagine it's not fun.

Given it's infinity, an infinite amount of anything just becomes a mundane day to day thing.

Is this an "Eventually, Kars stopped thinking" supposition? Because that's a valid possibility, but we can't know it for CERTAIN - nobody's ever been doing anything forever, and chronic pain seems to be painful at least on the timescales of decades....

Still preferable to Diavolo's "death".
