While this was the last story in the unfinished trilogy, Guerin did one more story in-between, the prequel ''Fanfic/TriumphOfTheRetart'' - and yes, it's spelled like that the entire story.

Guerin's other "Daria OVAs" follow a different continuity and ignore the Lawndale Militia stories entirely.

Peter Guerin's second contribution to the Daria fandom is a MegaCrossover that mashes ''Manga/KokoWaGreenwood'', ''Anime/RidingBean'', ''Manga/GunsmithCats'', and even ''Franchise/SailorMoon'', into a sort of continuity stew. And then proceeds to get all of ''those'' characters completely wrong as well.

As the title suggests, the remains of one of the terrorist groups from the last story are once again attempting to retake Lawndale and install their hyper-conservative regime. They're recruiting the help of Shinobu Tezuka's sister due to her ties to the yakuza allowing her to funnel them weapons, which puts the cast members of both ''Riding Bean'' and ''Gunsmith Cats'' on a plane to Lawndale to investigate the weapon sales. This eventually puts the entire cast of characters back in UsefulNotes/{{Tokyo}} for a final showdown and LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters does not even been to describe it.
