"Yo, did you just solve that puzzle? That's awesome!"
~~~Justice, The Awesome Demon
Justice is the seventh demon encountered in Helltaker. Justice is a very chill demon. She is referred to as "The Awesome Demon".
Appearance
Justice, like most of the Helltaker cast, is depicted as a short demon girl with pale skin, a black arrow-tipped tail, and silvery-white hair. Her irises are grey as she is blind, which can be seen in the epilogue. She has a short pony tail on the back of her head, tightened with a red bandana. Poking out of her hair are two small black horns that are rounded at the tips. She has white eyebrows and wears sunglasses, masking her blindness.
Justice has a black tie with two silver clips attaching it to her red shirt. She wears a black suit jacket, which she wears, unbuttoned, around her shoulders. She sports red fingerless gloves, gifted to her by Lucifer, with metal tags on the wrists, labelled "HPJ", which likely stands for "High Prosecutor Justice". She wears black pants with a belt and boots like the rest of the demons.
Later in Examtaker, Justice's horns have changed black to white noting her advanced age. She no longer has her hair tied up, but instead wears it loose and keeps it medium length. She wears a black maid uniform with a white apron and red oven mitts.
In "Justice Joins The Team", she wears a red tank top, black shorts with a belt of the same color, black shoulder pads and a black protective belt on her tank top, a pair of handcuffs on her wrist, and a black baseball cap with "POLICE" written in white. She wears her hair down, and retains her gloves and sunglasses from the base game.
Personality
Justice is the most laid-back demon in the game, and doesn't kill The Helltaker in any ending. Her personality is not fully explored in the game, as she has little dialogue, but what is shown almost describes her as a joker, and rather friendly, as she tells Judgement to "Keep going..." and "You're on a roll!", this could be either a joke direct towards Judgement, or a genuine expression which shows that she cares for Judgement, which could make sense, with Justice being the former High Prosecutor. However, her joker personality is further explored in the epilogue of Helltaker, with her taking a bet that the Helltaker has laser vision.
Encounter
When the Helltaker first encounters Justice at the end of level 7, she introduces herself talking about how the player beaten the puzzle and thought it was awesome. The player is given two options to respond with:
- "It took some work. Wanna join my harem?"
- "I just skipped it in the menu. Wanna join my harem?"
If the player picks the first option, she tells the player that there is no need to ask, as she would never miss a party.
If the player picks the second option, she tells the player how it would've been something she would have done, and "The More, the Merrier!"
Both options lead into success and her joining the player's harem, similar to how Judgement's dialogue works.
Trivia
- Given her blindness, Justice's appearance is a reference to Lady Justice and the common idiom 'justice is blind'.
- According to dialogue in the Beelzebub ending, Justice was former High Prosecutor before Judgement. It is stated that she outright defeated Beelzebub, though this cost Justice her vision.
- In the comics released on Vanripper's Twitter account, Justice goes by the honorary nickname "Flybreaker" among the angels.
- She might be the only demon who is friends with another, as alluded with her relationship with Lucifer. Her distinctive gloves were gifted to her by Lucifer, and they seem to respect each other, with Justice having her arm around Lucifer's shoulder in the proper ending for the game, the friendliest interaction between two demons in the game.
- Justice may be named after the 8th tarot card of the same name, considering Judgement is also based off the 20th tarot card and how they're both High Prosecutors.
- Justice's gloves bear a resemblance to Ryu's gloves from the popular fighting game Street Fighter.
- She is the winner of the Helltaker Nendoroid Survey, with Cerberus being in second place, and Modeus being in third place.
