Synopsis[edit | edit source]

We're Shinsengumi Lunatics! is split into three sections.

The first section takes the form of Lucy's introduction of the Shinsengumi. She gives a brief overview of the five members, with her personal opinions on all of them.

The second section takes an unknown amount of time before Gabriel Ascheron's entry to Guf. Sefer is in negotiations with the Neo Ta'har, led by Ta'varak. After Ta'varak refuses an alliance with the Shinsengumi, she summons her Stand Cruel Angel's Thesis to demonstrate the power of the Fruit of Life. Unconvinced by this, an unnamed bodyguard of Ta'varak attacks Cruel Angel's Thesis. After a short fight, the Stand's ability is revealed - instead of the user being hurt when the Stand is damaged, its attacker is. She heals the guard, having convinced Ta'varak of the usefulness of the Fruit of Life, and an alliance is secured.

The third section takes place as the Shinsengumi journey from Ta'varak's castle to their ship, the Kusanagi. They are assaulted by Cassius Calm, a monk who can sense Sefer's evil intent. She defeats him with incredible ease, and without summoning her Stand - which perplexes Lucy. When she inquires, Sefer reveals the true extent of Cruel Angel's Thesis's nature - that it acts of its own accord, and will kill anyone it perceives as a threat, to protect Sefer - and by extension, itself. She also reveals that it has the ability to possess her - though she can fight it to some extent. However, she suggests that her family was killed by her after she was possessed by Cruel Angel's Thesis. She asks Lucy to keep this a secret, and she agrees. The two head back to the Kusanagi, and leave for the Republic of Luria, leading into Ascheron's introduction to the RPG.
