Appearance[]
Justice
Justice primarily takes the appearance of a massive cloud of fog, being large enough to envelop a small cemetery. When materialized, it appears as a skeletal phantom wearing a large crown decorated with jeweled arches and a spike on top, with the clouds of fog swirling around its head and hands like a robe. The skull of Justice also lacks some teeth. In the anime, it has two right hands, much like its user, Enya, and her son.
In the colored manga, Justice is portrayed as being entirely purple. In the anime and OVA, it is portrayed as having a white skull with a golden crown and green hands emerging from the fog.
It represents the Tarot Card JusticeW. The card normally symbolizes consequences and a need to recognize them, but the symbolism is twisted in Enya's case. The Stand personifies her obsession with revenge against the world and particularly those who slight her and her son.
Abilities[]
Justice is a terrifyingly powerful Stand because of its very nature and power. Despite the bizarre way Jotaro defeated it, Justice is one of the most powerful Stands in the series due to its quasi-invulnerability as a fog Stand and ability to control anyone's body through an open wound.
Fog String Puppetry[]
Any wounded man becomes a puppet for Justice
Justice's foremost power allows it to control the bodies of others through an open wound.[1]
When someone is wounded on any part of their body (to facilitate this, Enya uses a pair of scissors to cut people), the victim's flowing blood will be absorbed into the fog and Justice then creates a perfectly clean, round hole on the victim which can pierce through a sufficiently thin body part like the wrist or the tongue.[1]
Justice then sends a string of fog into the hole like thread tied to a puppet and takes control of the associated body part like a puppeteer. Enya can then make the controlled parts move as she wishes, being able to throw Polnareff to the ceiling[2] or make Hol Horse shoot himself.[1]
Justice's puppetry power is so powerful it can take control of dozens of corpses and manipulate them with precision, which can result in a large band of puppets under the control of Justice.[3] Despite being mere skeletons, the puppets appear as normal humans, though with deformed features and holes all over their body.
Illusions[]
Justice can manifest incredibly realistic and detailed illusions anywhere within its range.
Enya was able to generate an entire illusive city over a graveyard, with the impression of actual solid buildings that only vanished when she was defeated,[4] and nearly killed Joseph Joestar by disguising a metal fence as their car and tricking him into jumping onto it.[5] Moreover it can also disguise the skeletons she takes control of as living humans who can converse with others.[5] In the OVA series, Enya also uses her mist to take the appearance of an attractive woman.
Intangibility[]
Being made entirely of fog, Justice cannot take damage because all attacks, even from other Stands, just harmless pass through it. Jotaro was only able to defeat it by having Star Platinum suck the entire Stand into its mouth, causing Enya to suffocate.
