A stock reason given in the opening/narration of a show. This is why the good guys in some shows (particularly Anime, Kaiju, and Toku) fight against evil. It's for justice, righteousness, principles, and values that depend more on what people deserve than on what they enjoy. It's a good reason to launch all your fighters or Humongous Mecha and beat the stuffings out of rubber suit monsters. This seems like Concepts Are Cheap, but these shows can have fully developed plots. This is just mainly applied to the trailers, narration, and theme songs. Then again, much of the audience is here to watch giant monsters and robots fight, so why worry about deep motives? This trope has become somewhat anachronistic since the 1990s, with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arguably being one of the last pure examples of it. Most heroes nowadays tend to have more complex motivations than simple, unblemished goodness or altruism, and some aren't necessarily more morally desirable than the villains they fight. Compare For Science!, Captain Geographic, Captain Patriotic, Captain Space, Defender of Earth!, and For Happiness. May be part of a Heroism Motive Speech. The Evil Counterpart is For the Evulz, or Well-Intentioned Extremist if the villains had good intentions behind their atrocities. Do not confuse with Justice Will Prevail, a more complicated topic to say the least. This is Older Than Print, with early examples going all the way back to �e Faðer of Engelish Lytterature hymselfe, Geoffrey Chaucer. |

Dragon Age One of the companions in Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening is a friendly fade spirit that is defined by this concept. Justice is his identity, not his name. Deconstructed in the sequel, where his cohabiting the body of Willing Channeler Anders has twisted him into a demon of vengeance. With protecting the innocent now taking a backseat to punishing the guilty, but with no diminishment in drive or conviction, the duo end up doing a lot of damage. |

Kamen Rider Wizard's Post-Script Episodes see the villain give a Breaking Speech where he claims Riders are no different from the Kaijin they fight, only hiding behind hollow claims of being "allies of justice". The Riders promptly retort by saying that what they fight for isn't justice, but to protect peoples' freedom from those who would take it away by force. This has been the ethos of the franchise from the very beginning, with the very first Rider having said, “Human lives are more important than peace and justice,� and indeed, he fought against those who would take away human freedom by force (i.e. Shocker, an organization founded by Those Wacky Nazis). | |

Forms one of the major themes in Tales of Vesperia in which two of the main characters are primarily motivated by ideals of justice but have very different ways of going about doing it, and both run into problems when they take their respective viewpoints too far. Per the trope's "playing with" examples, Yuri toes the line between subversion and double-subversion of this trope (and narrowly avoids Slowly Slipping Into Evil), while Flynn borders Deconstruction and ends up in Reconstruction territory by the end. The game's characteristic genre name is to enforce "justice" (yes, with the word placed in quote marks) playing this trope completely straight while at the same time highlighting that it is a difficult concept to define. Vesperia's successor, Tales of Graces also features a much more minor, less serious version of this. In the childhood arc, Asbel will go into battle shouting "I fight for justice!" for no readily apparent reason. This is probably to highlight that he's still too young and immature to know what he's fighting for at all, and is just saying this because it sounds cool. |

This is the driving force behind the Knights of the Cross in The Dresden Files. No matter what their background, the Knights are driven by the sole purpose of righting wrongs, fighting evil, and protecting the innocent. In a setting that at best runs on Grey-and-Gray Morality, they are unquestionably the Good Guys. Shifts a little later when it's revealed that they're Heaven's mortal players in preserving free will by redeeming the hosts of the Denarians at swordpoint. Any other good they do is more a result of judicious recruitment than being in the job description. Harry fights bullies. It takes him a little while to figure it out - but in the flashback to his formative duel with He Who Walks Behind, it's violence against the helpless from which he won't run. Murphy upholds the law. She's not a terribly devout Christian, but she has Faith in the law, and it's more than enough to give her a standing job offer among the Knights of the Cross. |

The Planescape setting has the Mercykillers faction, whose goals and philosophy are centered around the pursuit of perfect justice. Their concept of justice usually involves punishment via hard labor and/or execution. One of their founding organizations, the Sons of Mercy, were much more about the traditional construction of this trope, and they became so again when the Mercykillers split up following the Faction War. | |

An optional sidequest in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker has the protagonist Link discreetly following a girl, Mila, through the town of Windfall in the middle of the night. Once she reaches the open-air stall that she works at, she attempts to get into a safe and steal money from her boss (having recently suffered a Riches to Rags). One of the reasons that the player can give for not letting her off the hook when he catches her is that Link is "an ally of justice!" | |

Voltage Fighter Gowcaizer: "I AM THE JUSTICE, NOT YOU."◊ "THE JUSTICE ALWAYS WINS. NEVER FORGET IT."◊ "NOTHING WINS THE JUSTICE."◊ "LET'S FIGHT TOGETHER FOR JUSTICE!"◊ All courtesy of Brider, who can only be described as a bastard lovechild of Kamen Rider and Gundam, with the former's passion for fighting evil and defending justice dialed up. Although the above was due to the SNK bad Engrish syndrome for being an old Neo Geo game, the Japanese version still retains his passion for great justice. | |

Undefeated Bahamut Chronicle: Deconstructed. The Big Bad, Fugil Arcadia, is a Knight Templar who declares himself to be a hero fighting for justice, a concept he defines as using any means necessary - such as perception and memory manipulation - to keep all political powers in balance and serve The Needs of the Many. While he recognizes that other people, including the protagonist Lux, have different definitions of justice, he considers their justice to be insufficient compared to his own because they're not willing to go to the same extremes. In his backstory, he wasn't always this zealous, but the constant conflict in his era caused him and his partner to believe that forcing the masses to forget their grudges is the only way to get them on board with their ideals. | |

In Fire Emblem Fates, this is both averted and played straight in two characters: Xander is more Knight in Sour Armor, believing that this trope is a complete sham, as it makes one person not see the whole picture that there's no clear cut good and evil in life. Also played straight on Arthur, who's born and raised into believing justice and doing good overall, with his quotes rife with declarations of Justice Will Prevail. The funny thing is? They're under the same banner (Nohr). Fittingly, however, they cannot support each other, and Arthur is instead the retainer of the youngest, most childish sibling, Elise, who DOES find such escapades of justice awesome. Also fittingly, Arthur has "FOR JUSTICE!" as one of his voiced battle clips. This trope may as well be his catchphrase. |

Tsubaki gets in on this in BlazBlue. She's a fan of historical dramas, and in the "Help Me, Professor Kokonoe!" segments, it's shown that it's the source for her battle quotes. Her achievement/trophy is actually named after this trope. This is also Bang Shishigami's schtick. |

Paladins in Dungeons & Dragons often have this creed. The Planescape setting has the Mercykillers faction, whose goals and philosophy are centered around the pursuit of perfect justice. Their concept of justice usually involves punishment via hard labor and/or execution. One of their founding organizations, the Sons of Mercy, were much more about the traditional construction of this trope, and they became so again when the Mercykillers split up following the Faction War. |

Miko from Kaguya-sama: Love Is War is all about promoting justice and morality, tends to classify people by whether they are good or bad, and is planning on attending law school when she graduates. According to her character profile in one of the volume extras, it's a habit she developed in order to feel closer to her often-absent mother and father (who do humanitarian aid and work as a judge respectively). | |

Odo in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine was motivated by what he described as an inborn need for justice. Law was a secondary thing. He used to theorize that a need for justice may have been an inborn trait of his unknown species...too bad it turned out not to be the case. Their natural tendency is only to enforce order and obedience. While Odo justifies the need for both with Justice (no pun intended), the rest of the species is only interested in domination (ostensibly to protect themselves from ever being victims again). Odo's experience working as chief of security under the Cardassians, witnessing the atrocities and the oppression of the innocent Bajorans, is implied to have taught him the value of Justice over pure order. He still takes the Lawful part of Lawful Good very seriously though (so long as the Law in question is itself "Good", like when he allowed several Cardassian dissidents to escape because their crimes did not warrant the death penalty they would have received otherwise). |

Although in Tales of Symphonia and its sequel it's discussed a lot, in that Lloyd realizes it's a Meaningless Meaningful Word and doesn't resort to just calling it out as a motivator (and gets pissed if someone else does, particularly when used by Well Intentioned Extremists like the Big Bad for both games). | |

Superman: The line in the page pic is a modified form of the radio intro which was used on the first television series. It might have been the Trope Maker. Superman is actually a subversion of this though. He's mainly concerned with For Happiness, spending most of his time doing random acts of kindness like stopping floods, chasing off supervillains, and plucking kittens out of trees. He doesn't much care what supervillains do as long as they're not hurting anyone (or being Lex Luthor). Writers have him bandy the term "justice" around a lot, but crimefighters like Batman and The Flash are a lot more focused on criminal justice than Superman is. It would be more accurate to say that Superman maintains a balance between For Great Justice and For Happiness, for the most part. Over the years, Superman's motivations to do good have changed. In some stories, he wants people to be happy. In others, he wants to bring evildoers to justice. It's all Depending on the Writer. Supergirl varies between fighting for Justice and fighting for Happiness (her motto being: "Hope, Compassion and Help for all") depending on the story. |

Subverted when it is discovered that the Fulbright who the characters meet is actually a murderous, emotionless sociopath (and final villain of the game) impersonating the now-deceased real Fulbright, but the original presumably used the phrase honestly. | |

Dragon Ball Super has 2 examples: Zamasu, the Supreme Kai of the 10th Universe. Everything that he does and his beliefs in justice are taken to extreme levels, he believes a world without mortals will create the ideal world for gods. In other words, for himself only. Universe 11, the Universe of Justice. There the God of Destruction and the Pride Troopers fight for justice, against all injustices big, medium, and small. No crime will go unresolved in Universe 11, be it a kitten near power lines or Goku potentially dooming the multiverse. |

The World Government Marines in One Piece have a bit of a thing for justice. Aside from having the characters for justice printed on captain-rank officer's coats, several prominent personnel tend to have their own take on the concept, some of them not actually very just at all; Admiral Aokiji has "Lazy Justice," Admiral Akainu has "Absolute Justice," Rob Lucci has "Dark Justice," etc. It is even discussed during the Whitebeard War arc when Doflamingo laughed when Marines were crying out they were fighting for "Justice." Doflamingo pointed out how history will be written by the winner and if the Marines win, it will be a just win and if the pirates win, it too will be just. |

Vesperia's successor, Tales of Graces also features a much more minor, less serious version of this. In the childhood arc, Asbel will go into battle shouting "I fight for justice!" for no readily apparent reason. This is probably to highlight that he's still too young and immature to know what he's fighting for at all, and is just saying this because it sounds cool. | |

How to Hero invokes this concept all the time. The author even mentions that he talks about Justice as a proper-nouned concept so much that his phone automatically capitalizes it. When devising a questionnaire to test potential mission control members one of the questions is simply "How big is your thirst for justice?" with the options being: a. I have no thirst. b. I have some thirst. c. I have moderate to severe thirst. d. UNQUENCHABLE. In the entry on mind-swaps the guide notes that if a superhero is inserting the word "justice" awkwardly into sentences where they don't belong then they are probably actually a supervillain who has hijacked a superhero's body. |

The Suicide Squad: Peacemaker ends up heavily deconstructing the trope. He's a brightly colored self-identifying sentinel of liberty who fights in the name of everlasting peace. On paper, this would be the usual stock motivation of a Captain Patriotic superhero. But throughout the film, Peacemaker's willingness to habitually cross whatever lines he deems as necessary in adherence to something as abstract and loosely defined as "Peace" is seen in-universe as laughably ironic at best and horrifyingly myopic at worst. Once Peacemaker murders Rick Flag in order to keep the United States' involvement in Project: Starfish a secret, Rick's Profane Last Words are ones lambasting the sheer absurdity that is Christopher Smith's modus operandi. | |

"The Earth calls out! The Heavens call out! The People call out! They are calling on me to defeat evil! Listen well, evildoers! I am the warrior for justice... Kamen Rider Stronger!" Kamen Rider Wizard's Post-Script Episodes see the villain give a Breaking Speech where he claims Riders are no different from the Kaijin they fight, only hiding behind hollow claims of being "allies of justice". The Riders promptly retort by saying that what they fight for isn't justice, but to protect peoples' freedom from those who would take it away by force. This has been the ethos of the franchise from the very beginning, with the very first Rider having said, “Human lives are more important than peace and justice,� and indeed, he fought against those who would take away human freedom by force (i.e. Shocker, an organization founded by Those Wacky Nazis). |

Angel's evil alter-ego, Angelus, made light of this trope several years earlier on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Spike, hilariously, when he discovers his chip only prevents him from hurting humans. Demons are fair game. When Faith does a body swap with Buffy, she initially mocks Buffy's sense of morality, telling herself she won't be bad "because it's wrong." After living Buffy's life for a while, however, she comes to appreciate the change, and when towards the end she tells a group of vamps she won't let them kill innocents "because it's wrong," she means it sincerely. Buffy had her moments of this, as at least later in this series she opposed consequential ethics, and this is the trope of deontological opposition to it. Her big moment of rejecting a very persuasive consequential argument was over whether it was acceptable to kill Dawn to prevent Glory from killing all of earth's life, including Dawn, as Giles pointed out was the alternative. She managed to Take a Third Option in the end, but she still preferred to let everyone on Earth die rather than kill one innocent, who would have died anyway. |

In Mega Man Battle Network 6, the Joke program causes MegaMan.EXE to lampshade this line during a joke. When that fails, he tries to one-up it into "For Greater Justice?" Lan is not amused. | |

Deconstructed and ultimately subverted in Death Note. Both Light and L loudly proclaim "I am Justice!", but since one of them is a murderous Knight Templar vigilante and the other is a detective who sacrifices lives to obtain information and uses inhumane interrogation tactics, this claim is pretty questionable coming from either one of them. | |

In Shadowverse, Heavenly Knight is all about justice. His attack line even is the trope name word for word. | |

Baldur's Gate features Minsc the... boisterous ranger with a big sword and a bigger voice. He may also be a little deranged but his heart is definitely in the right place. This leads to some amazing one-liners "Stand back... FOR JUSTICE!" "Feel the backhand of JUSTICE!" |

Magick Chicks: Tiffany tries to invoke this with mixed results. She's Artemis Academy's self-appointed champion: the MMAA,note "Mysterious Masked Academy Avenger" who fights against the school's social injustices, which means she pesters Faith. On the other hand, while she's had some success, she's still really, REALLY, bad at it. She's bad at fooling anyone. She's pretty good at the action heroine bit. |

Raiden in Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a firm believer that his sword is a tool of justice, used to protect the weak... but later in the game his sword is broken, and the replacement he uses belongs to Jetstream Sam. Then there's his Anti-Villain foil, Jetstream Sam, who wandered the world single-handedly slaughtering gangs and drug cartels before declaring war on one of the three largest private military companies in America... because hey, it's not like he can "sharpen [his] skills" on the good guys. |
