Shinsengumi (OU)



The Shinsengumi is a mysterious organization lead by Sefer Yetzirah. They're a small group of individuals united by their loyalty to Sefer, and work together in pursuit of a shared, but currently unknown, goal. Each Shinsengumi member carries a Katana, and possesses a Stand.

The Shinsengumi is split into two groups; the α-Shinsengumi, led personally by Sefer, and the β-Shinsengumi, which is lead by Lucrezia Sephirah.

Trivia

 * The Shinsengumi are named after the real-life Shinsengumi, an elite organization which protected the Shogunate from 1864 to 1869.
 * With the exception of Lucy's Stand, all the α-Shinsengumi Stands have names pertaining to Japanese culture or history in someway; Cruel Angel's Thesis and Only My Railgun are the titles of Anime openings, Two Heavens As One is a sword technique developed by legendary Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, and Gathering Clouds Of Heaven refers to the sword Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi (Sword of the Gathering Clouds of Heaven), the former name of one of the three Imperial Regalia of Japan. Sympathy For The Devil is the only Shinsengumi Stand which is not a Contact-Type; instead, it is a Random-Type.
 * This is the Shinsengumi uniform, which none of them ever actually seem to wear.
