5	''Call of Justice'' features an original plot involving the 00 Cyborgs going up against a mysterious organisation of superhumans with nefarious goals named the "Blessed".
6
7	!!Tropes that appear in this work:
8	* AllYourPowersCombined: [[spoiler:Emperor's powers allow him to copy the powers of other Blessed.]]
9	* AncientConspiracy: The Blessed, though they function less like TheIlluminati and more like a loosely organized group of people with similar powers. They've still been influencing the world and keeping their existence secret since before the common era.
10	* BeenThereShapedHistory: The Blessed have apparently been manipulating human history for ''centuries''.
11	* BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy: Dr. Davenport's notes imply that Thomas Edison was a member of the Blessed.
12	* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:The blessed are defeated and the world is saved but 004, 002 and Catalina are dead, in addition 009 is trapped in the Event Horizon with the defeated Emperor.]]
13	* BroughtDownToNormal: [[spoiler:009 and 003 both briefly lose their cybernetic enhancements after a visit with a peaceful member of the Blessed, but they eventually choose to regain them.]]
14	* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Steven Archimedes / TheProfessor, a member of the Blessed and head of [[MegaCorp Dynamic Ultra]], who is using the company's resources to assist the Blessed in their goals.
15	* FateWorseThanDeath: [[spoiler:Emperor subjects Catalina to one by erasing all of her memories, even the ability to speak and understand language, when she still couldn't bring herself to kill 009. He is later subjected to one himself by 009, who Accelerates him and traps him in a void to be alone for eternity.]]
16	* GainaxEnding: [[spoiler:The last scene is of the shadows of the remaining 00 Cyborgs, who are then joined by the silhouettes of 004 and 002 (who had both perished) and 009 (who had become trapped in the Event Horizon).]]
17	* GrandFinale: Could be seen as one. It takes place after the 00 cyborgs have already destroyed the entire Black Ghost organization, sees them going up against a far vaster and more subversive foe, and ends with [[spoiler:three of the cyborgs, including 009 himself, having sacrificed themselves to save the world.]] It's worth noting that since its release, no other new 009 content has been produced, so for now it is the "final" piece of media in the franchise.
18	* HeroAntagonist: The United Nations Guardians, who are only in opposition to the 00 Cyborgs because [[spoiler:their leader is in league with the Blessed.]]
19	* HeroicSacrifice:
20	** [[spoiler:004 hooks himself up to the Blessed's satellite set to release plague-carrying their micro-drones, so the satellite will instead go on a path towards the Sun knowing it will incinerate them both.]]
21	** [[spoiler:A non-lethal variant. 009 accelerates the Emperor into the Event Horizon in order to stop his world-ending plan, trapping them both there.]]
22	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: At the start of the series, the 00 Cyborgs had been peacefully retired for years, and didn't even know the Blessed existed, much less were anything they needed to be concerned with. If the Blessed had tried a more subtle method of thwarting the reporter's attempt to recruit the Cyborgs to stop the Blessed, like, say, not giving them any reason to care about their existence or leads to investigate instead of openly attacking them in their home and then framing them as terrorists for defending themselves, they would not have known what the Blessed were up to until it was too late for them to be stopped.
23	* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[BigBad Emperor]] wants to introduce a deadly, incurable plague to humanity in a bid to force them to evolve and gain powers, because he believes humanity will die off if they don't. [[spoiler:It's later revealed he actually HatesBeingAlone, and wants someone to validate his existence as a supposed benevolent leader and god. Once he's completely isolated, he freaks out.]]
24	* OlderThanTheyLook:
25	** The 00 cyborgs possess ageless bodies and are much older than they appear.
26	** The Emperor seems to be a man in his 20s/30s but is stated to be over 3000.
27	** [[spoiler:009 gets a special mention as, due to his powers of acceleration causing time to move faster for him, he has effectively lived a lifespan even greater than the Emperor.]]
28	* UnitedNationsIsASuperpower: The UN is shown to be in control of a global peace-keeping force called the "Guardians".
29	* UnPerson: The Blessed do this to [[spoiler:Pyotr]] after [[spoiler:the 00 Cyborgs discover he's working with them.]]
