History Main / ForGreatJustice

** The Tau ''were'' this in their original incarnation. At first, the Tau were a MarySuetopia whose White morality clashed terribly with the setting's [[BlackAndBlackMorality charcoal-grey-on-black-on-event-horizon-of-a-black-hole morality.]] Fan reaction was fairly negative. The Tau got a bit of character development and started doing rather questionable things that would make them ScaryDogmaticAliens in most settings, but by 40k's absurd StealthParody standards, the Tau are downright nice guys. The Tau may not be in it ForGreatJustice, but they're amongst the ''least'' evil. By now, with the Tau adopting a GunboatDiplomacy manifest destiny motive, the Tau have been accepted by ''most'' of the fandom. However, the fanbase is so broken and vocal that everything is hated by a good chunk of the fanbase.

* ''WebOriginal/HowToHero'' invokes this concept all the time. The author even mentions that he talks about Justice as a proper-nouned concept so much that it his phone automatically capitalizes it.

* Athrun Zala's general theme and goal in ''Anime/MobileSuitGundamSeedDestiny'' is seeking a correct, fair justice for the universe, contrasting Kira Yamato's goal for everlasting freedom, and Shinn's defending of a predetermined destiny.

* "Real American", HulkHogan's iconic Wrestling/{{WWE}} entrance theme:

* Raiden in ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' is a firm believer that his sword is a tool of justice, used to protect the weak... but later in the game [[WreckedWeapon his sword is broken]], and the replacement he uses [[ExactWords belongs to]] [[spoiler:[[TheHeavyJetstream Sam]]]].
** And then there's his AntiVillain foil in Jetstream Sam, who wandered the world single-handedly slaughtering entire 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.

* Raiden in ''VideoGame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance'' is a firm believer of this, as long as he use his sword. However, this need not apply [[ExactWords when holding somebody else's sword]].

* '''[[VideoGame/MetalWolfChaos Believe in your own justice!]]'''

-->--'''Tom Joad''', ''Film/TheGrapesOfWrath''

* Real life inventors sometimes invent things just for the benefit of humanity, rather than for [[MoneyDearBoy profit]]. Unfortunately, this practice is becoming less and less commmon

* {{Deconstructed}} similarly in by Shirou in ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight''. Having no sense of self-preservation, he's willing to throw his life away if it means doing the "right" thing at almost any opportunity to do so and will stop at nothing to become a "Hero of Justice". [[His future self, Archer, sold his soul to become a Counter-Guardian in hopes of being able to protect everyone, but instead, he was reduced to killing terrorist and radical groups of people that threatened to start wars and revolutions that had the potential to destroy the world, making him realize that "true justice" is the result of order, and that salvation of others and salvation of the self are not only different but incompatible, and since he had no idea who to actually save before making the pact, he ended up betrayed by his own ideal. In his own words, he basically became no more than a mere murderer.]]

** 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 that he wont run from.

* ''Anime/DragonBallSuper'' has 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.

* PlayedForLaughs in ''WebVideo/BennettTheSage'''s "Anime Abandon" series, which features Censor [[Creator/KaiserNeko Kaiser]] as a CensorBox blocking out naughty bits and invoking this trope as the rationale for doing so.

* {{Deconstructed}} by Vhailor in ''VideoGames/PlanescapeTorment''. Justice is his literal ''raison d'etre'', it's the reason he's still alive because he's unwilling to die as long as there is justice left to be meted out. He is completely single-minded on punishing evil, has close to no ego and views himself as an implement of an ideal rather than a person, nigh impossible to dissuade or convince, uncompromising, believes in the rightness of his cause, and, in a world full of GreyAndGrayMorality, [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity utterly terrifying]].

* VideoGame/BaldursGate 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!"

* Ky Kiske of VideoGame/GuiltyGear whos initial theme song is called "Holy orders Be just or be Dead"

* Ten Winds, the BadassGrandpa in the comic ''Webcomic/KeychainOfCreation'', (which is set in the RoleplayingGameVerse of ''TabletopGame/{{Exalted}}'',) has a habit of leaping in from off-panel to punch or kick an enemy with a triumphant cry of ''"'''JUSTICE!!'''"''
