** 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.

** Which is a ShoutOut, given how the series love those.

* A very, very twisted version is KnightsTemplar Vhailor from ''PlanescapeTorment''.

** Although in TalesOfSymphonia and its sequel it's subverted somewhat, in that Lloyd realizes it's a Meaningless Meaningful Word and doesn't resort to just calling it out as a motivator (and gets [[BerserkButton pissed]] if someone else does, particularly when used by {{Well Intentioned Extremist}}s like the BigBad for both games).

* ''VoltageFighterGowcaizer'': [[http://zanyvgquotes.com/gowcaizer/gow-justice.png "I AM THE JUSTICE, NOT YOU."]] [[http://zanyvgquotes.com/gowcaizer/gow-justice2.png "THE JUSTICE ALWAYS WINS. NEVER FORGET IT."]] [[http://zanyvgquotes.com/gowcaizer/gow-winsjustice.png "NOTHING WINS THE JUSTICE."]] [[http://zanyvgquotes.com/gowcaizer/gow-together.png "LET'S FIGHT TOGETHER FOR JUSTICE!"]] Gowcaizer IS this trope.
** Or rather, NOT the character Gowcaizer, but Brider, who can only be described as a bastard lovechild of KamenRider and {{Gundam}}. With the former's passion for fighting evil and defending justice dialled UpToEleven
* ''{{League of Legends}}'' puts a twist, with [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Mordekaiser]], a selectable champion, who likes to say, "For great TORMENT!"

* Tsubaki gets in on this in BlazBlue. She's a fan of historical dramas, and in the "Help Me, Professor Kokonoe!" segements, it's shown that it's the source for her battle quotes.

* " [[DynastyWarriors I FIGHT IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE!]] "

[[folder: Tabletop Games ]]
* Paladins in ''DungeonsAndDragons'' often have this creed.
* As do the Tau Empire in {{Warhammer 40000}}, with their ubiquitous catchphrase, "For the Greater Good!" This has the effect of making newcomers to the series believe and latch onto the idea that the Tau are the [[BlackandGreyMorality "Good Guys"]], prompting others to mock them with the phrase "Good for the Good God!"
** 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 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, 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.
* The first paragraph of the ''{{Exalted}}'' Core Rulebook states that the world is being gangbanged from all directions by [[ZombieApocalypse the Deathlords]], [[LegionOfHell the Yozis]], {{The Fair Folk}}s, and other ultra-nasty beings. But the Solars (you) are returning, ''ForGreatJustice !!!111''. [[spoiler:[[{{Deconstruction}} The rest of the chapter is spent hammering into your head that it's your own Unconquered-Sun-damned fault that you were bumped in ages past, so now you have to prove that you're indeed doing it]] ForGreatJustice.]]

** Their natural tendency is only to enforce order and obedience. While Odo justifies the need for both with [[LawfulNeutral Justice]] (no pun intended), the rest of the species is only interested in [[LawfulEvil domination]].

* Miko from ''OrderOfTheStick'' uses this for most of her actions.

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, or some other term that seems like a good reason to TakeOffEveryZig or HumongousMecha and beat the stuffings out of rubber suit monsters. Justice especially seems to apply to anything in relation to these series.

* In the final arc of ''FullmetalAlchemist'', [[spoiler:[[FakingTheDead Maria Ross]]]] lampshades the invocation of this trope when she uses it in a radio broadcast to convince the people that [[spoiler:she and Mustang's rebels are on the Führer's side, and that the Central Forces are the ones trying to usurp Bradley's administration.]] It works, as in the end, [[spoiler:Mustang and Armstrong are hailed as heroes who fought to preserve Bradley's administration of the country - albeit Bradley having "valiantly" died - when in fact, quite the opposite happened.]]

** Actually, most of the named members of the Seyruun royal family count. Need I remind you of Prince Phil's many Justice Speeches?

* Tomonobu Itakagi, formerly of Tecmo (and [[DeadOrAlive Dead]] [[MostCommonSuperpower Or]] [[BigBouncyBreasts Alive]] fame) used these words [[http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/24/itagaki-practices-legal-ninjitsu-in-case-against-tecmo/ almost exactly]] in a lawsuit against the [[ExecutiveMeddling suits]] he used to work for.
