Justice (ジャスティス Jasutisu?) is a character in the Guilty Gear fighting game series. The endboss of the first game, Guilty Gear: The Missing Link, Justice does not appear again in any American release until Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival, where she is a hidden character. (Justice is also a hidden character in Guilty Gear X+, which was not released in America.) Justice is a Command Gear, able to exert control over all other Gears except Sol Badguy and possibly Testament[1], and led the Gears in a war against humanity; the war lasted 100 years. It is also revealed in Side Black that Justice is Dizzy's mother.[2]

[edit] Story
[edit] Background
After the work on the prototype Gear Sol Badguy, Justice became not only the first manufactured Gear, but also the first "perfect Gear" due to her abilities as a Commander Gear. Soon after her creation, however, she turned on her creators, took control of all other Gears, and led them on a war against the human race. This war became known as the Crusades.
[edit] Guilty Gear XX: The Midnight Carnival
(The reason for the discrepancy in order is that Justice's Story Mode in this game is a sort of prequel to the others.)
Finally, in 2175, Justice fought for the seventeenth time against Kliff Undersn, and won. She went on to defeat Ky Kiske as well, and then encountered Sol Badguy. They fought, and Justice won, but then she discovered that Sol was himself a Gear. She commanded him to join and "revel in the destruction" -- only to find that somehow, her Command Gear powers were ineffective against him. Ky Kiske managed to use this distraction to seal away Justice, thus ending the war. All Gears apparently ceased to function after that -- with, it was later revealed, at least four exceptions.
[edit] Guilty Gear: The Missing Link
Testament revealed that he was the one who had hosted the tournament, and that its purpose was to revive Justice. However, the winner of the tournament promptly went on to defeat and kill Justice, as well. This varies depending on who the player is playing as, but officially, the winner was Sol Badguy. This ends Justice's story.
[edit] Music References
Justice shares the Gamma Ray overdrive with Dizzy, an attack named after a band of the same name.
Justice's name may be reference to Metallica's 1988 album ...And Justice For All.
[edit] Trivia
- Justice is voiced in Guilty Gear XX by Yumiko Ogawa, the same actress as April, one of May's friends.
- Justice's physical appearance is actually unknown, as the plating around her body has never been seen removed in any game to date.
- In Guilty Gear: The Missing Link, Justice was referred to as "he" in the English version and was voiced by Chipp Zanuff's original voice actor, Takuya Moritou. Further in Guilty Gear Judgment, Dr. Raymond/Judgment refers to Justice as male.
- Justice stated herself in Kliff's ending in Guilty Gear: The Missing Link, that she did not fully control Testament.
