| ~ Justice's final words to Sol Badguy |
Summary
Justice (ジャスティス, Jasutisu) is a major character in the Guilty Gear series and is one of its main antagonists. Justice was formerly Aria Hale, a preeminent Gear researcher and particle physicist, until she was converted into the first functioning Gear by Asuka R. Kreuz. However, during the conversion, she was infected by the Universal Will, which attempted to hijack her body and submerge the nation of Japan in the Backyard, an alternate dimension composed of pure data. As a result, Kreuz was forced to override her weapons systems and force her to destroy Japan. Already damaged by the Universal Will's invasion, Aria's psyche was shattered, and Justice was born. She declared all-out war on humankind, taking control of all Gears and leading them against the assembled forces of humanity in a 100-year war called the Crusades.
After she was sealed in an alternate dimension at the end of the Crusades, Testament orchestrated the Second Holy Order Selection Tournament to free her, but she was overwhelmed and destroyed by Sol Badguy, having one final moment of clarity before death. The remnants of Aria's psyche were later recovered from Justice's corpse and implanted in Jack-O Valentine, while analysis of her specs and combat data were used to create robotic "Imitation Justice" units by the shadowy Post-War Administration Bureau.

Attack Potency: Brown Dwarf level (Presumably weaker to a degree than when she was amplified with the Outrage Equipment), Low Complex Multiverse level with Eve's Seed (When Adam and Eve appear in the Backyard simultaneously, an Absolute World occurs[1]; blurring the boundaries of the Backyard and the living world, merging them for a brief moment, and erasing anything that cannot withstand that state.[1] The Backyard itself is a higher-dimensional world that decides the laws of the living world[2][3]). Able to ignore conventional durability with Existence Erasure | Brown Dwarf level (When amplified by the Outrage Equipment, she let out a Gamma Ray with such output, vaporizing Japan down to the sea floor) | Possibly Brown Dwarf level (Claimed by Crow to be “pretty close” to the strength of the original, albeit with admittance that it is only in a prototype phase[4])

Striking Strength: Brown Dwarf level | Brown Dwarf level | Possibly Brown Dwarf level

Range: Standard Melee Range, Thousands of Kilometers with attacks, cross-Dimensional when exerting her influence on other Gears (Manipulated Testament while she was sealed within an interdimensional prison), Universal with Information Flare. Low Multiversal with Absolute World.
Standard Equipment: Outrage Armor
Intelligence: Below Average. The destruction of Aria's psyche wiped Justice's mind nearly clean, leaving her only with a senseless will to destroy all humankind. Even with greatly superior firepower and perfect tactical command over all Gears, she failed to command them to victory over humankind, and has never won a fight in which she had equal or inferior firepower to her opponent. | Unknown, although likely higher than Justice, as it runs on a computer rather than an unstable human mind.
Weaknesses: Not able to cause Absolute World without Sol Badguy present, as he is the bearer of Adam's Seed. Omega Shift is risky to use, since it leaves Justice very vulnerable when it ends.
