History Main / JusticeWillPrevail

-->--'''[[AnIcePerson Rundas]]''', ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime3Corruption''

** [[SeekerArchetype A Jedi will always seek the truth]]. I will study the mysteries of the Force, [[TheStoic and act with calm and clarity]]. I will expose the dark side's deceit... [[HopeBringer to unite our allies]], and with the Force on our side... JusticeWillPrevail!

%% Two quotes are sufficient. Please place additional entries on the quotes tab.

* Slightly more cynical version from ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime 3'', in which Rundas comes up with this line when the hunters are all arguing with one another: "Hey, relax. We're the good guys, remember? Justice will prevail, and all that stuff. Right, Samus?" [[spoiler:He's right in that Samus will make justice prevail by the end, but that's after she's avenged his and the other Hunters' [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Phazon corruption]] and [[KilledOffForReal deaths]] by [[BigBad Dark Samus]]]].

-->--'''[[AnIcePerson Rundas]]''', ''VideoGame/MetroidPrime 3''

*** In the Marineford arc, the war between Whitebeard (the commander of the world's most powerful pirate fleet) and the Marines brings the theme of "which kind of justice?" to the forefront.

* This is pretty much the catchphrase of the eponymous heroine of ''YggdraUnion''. [[spoiler:Because the game is [[SlidingScaleLongName on the cynical side]], she learns that it's not justice that's winning her battles, it's power alone--and she's misused hers believing she has an OmniscientMoralityLicense. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Oops]].]]

* One of the few characters to ever beat Calypso at his own game in ''TwistedMetal'' is Agent Shepard in ''Head-On''. He doesn't make a wish. He doesn't do anything stupid. He wins the tournament, gets out of his car, and ''arrests Calypso outright''.

* ''MetalWolfChaos'': Justice is always victorious in the end! [[PatrioticFervor Long live the USA!]]

* In ''[[MachineRobo Machine Robo: Revenge of the Chronos]]'', this is the whole basis of Rom Stoll's speeches, emphasizing to the villains that justice always prevails, and that they don't deserve to know his name for being so evil.

May come as a package deal with RightMakesMight, but not necessarily. If the show is idealistic enough or targeted to a very young audience, Justice Will Prevail without a single drop of blood being shed -- indeed, justice usually prevails with the aid of [[KarmicDeath karma]], and the heroes won't actually have to beat anyone into submission. If its cynical enough, the word 'justice' becomes propaganda that both sides of a conflict use to justify violent/controversial/misc shade of grey actions.

** A memorable quote from '''Donquixote Doflamingo''' (Which also incorporates WrittenByTheWinners): ''"Pirates are evil? The Marines are righteous? These terms have always changed throughout the course of history! [[BlueAndOrangeMorality Kids who have never seen peace and kids who have never seen war have different values!]] Those who stand at the top determine what's wrong and what's right! This very place is neutral ground! Justice will prevail, you say? But of course it will! [[MightMakesRight WHOEVER WINS THIS WAR... BECOMES JUSTICE!]]"''

** Close to the end, it brings up the idea that justice will always prevail - not because it's right or good, but because [[MightMakesRight whoever is victorious]] [[WrittenByTheWinners will claim it]].

*** And then [[spoiler: nobody prevails. Nothing changes, and [[KillEmAll they're all dead]]]]. Therefore, the question of "whose justice was real justice" becomes [[ShootTheShaggyDog completely moot]].

* Minsc from ''BaldursGate'' is quite obsessed with goodness and justice, with whatever little he has in his brain. "Butt-kicking '''FOR GOODNESS!!!'''"

* ''TheLawOfUeki''. [[TVTropesDrinkingGame If you had a shot for the number of times that word is mentioned, you'd be dead drunk after a few episodes]].

* Xianghua of ''SoulCalibur'' plays with this trope, as this is one of her win quotes, but she adds a "[[IWasJustJoking ...just kidding!]]" to the end of it. Interesting, as she is the one character who can wield the eponymous holy sword in its true form.

* In the SegaGenesis version of the ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' game, whenever the Megazord strikes down an opponent, when it goes for the final blow, you'll hear the team cry out "JUSTICE SHALL OVERCOME!" just as they strike.

* In the ''SamuraiWarriors'' series, Kanetsugu Naoe's character focuses solely on justice, bordering LargeHam territories. Most of his lines are about how sheer force of will can beat all odds and how "another has been slain in the name of JUSTICE!"

** And from the past, there's also [[SamuraiShodown Galford D. Weiler]], [=McNinja=] of Justice.

* The second graphic novel collection of ''Webcomic/PS238'' is titled ''To The Cafeteria... FOR JUSTICE!''

* ''MazingerZ'': "Take this! Bossborot the Great's Iron Fist of Justice!"

* Played straight and subverted in ''MartianSuccessorNadesico''. It's one of the {{Catch Phrase}}s of the ShowWithinAShow ''Anime/{{Gekiganger 3}}''...[[spoiler:and a slogan of the Jovian Armed Forces]].

* You'd think this would be OnceAnEpisode on ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague'', but nah. Anyway, one episode had a pretty catchy variation, said by the [[{{Expy}} Streak]] to TheFlash, whom the Streak [[LetsYouAndHimFight thinks is evil]]:
--->'''The Streak''': "Evil can never outrun justice!"
** Also, the Justice Guild's catchphrase, "Let Justice Prevail!" Only in TheDCAU could that line have been made BadAss.

* [[Disney/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame "You mistreat this poor boy the same way you mistreat my people! You speak for justice but you are cruel to those that that need your help!" "SILENCE!" "JUSTICE!"]]

* [[MazingerZ "Take this! Bossborot the Great's Iron Fist of Justice!"]]

* No mention for [[GundamWing Chang Wufei]]?

* [[VideoGame/FatalFury Kim Kaphwan]]. Because ''[[ThisIsUnforgivable "Evil is unforgivable!"]]''

* [[MetalWolfChaos Justice is always victorious in the end!]] [[PatrioticFervor Long live the USA!]]

* Ma Chao in ''DynastyWarriors'' lives, eats and breathes this trope, [[LargeHam with all of the series' subtlety and understatement... or lack thereof.]]
