Justin Law

He wears a white, clerical-style garment reminiscent of a priest's, with black details. In his weapon form, he transforms into a sacred guillotine. His appearance conveys a mixture of holiness, coldness, and mystery.

Justin Law is a tall, thin young man with fair skin. He has short, spiky blond hair styled upwards. One of his most distinctive features is that he always wears large headphones, connected to a music player that he listens to constantly. He also often closes his eyes or hides them, giving him an enigmatic air.

Prior to his descent into Madness, Justin portrayed himself in a polite and zealous manner as a pious follower of Death as a divine figure of worship. His worship and faith in Death was reflected in his mannerisms and semi-religious way of dressing, speaking expressively of his devotion to his allies.[21] Loyal to the DWMA, he often followed Death's orders to the letter, valued the lives of students within the academy, and was willing to kill those that threaten either those two things. When facing enemies like Giriko, he had a notion of subtle mockery and chastised them.[23]

However, he secretly struggled to resolve his dilemma involving his tendency to remain solitary and inability to place enough trust in people to make friends with others, all while counting only on Death for comfort who was unable to assuage his loneliness, caused internal mental issues. Because of this and his poor understanding of Order and what "lies beyond it", it "crushed" him with despair and caused him to descend into Madness, according to Franken Stein.[24][25] After his descent into Madness courtesy of the Clown, his personality became much darker, hostile, and more despicable. His willingness to kill now extends to his former allies. Under the allegiance of Asura, he now showed little to no remorse and adopted a misogynistic view on women.[26]

Sleeve Justin can be described as a very competent and famous prodigy, having earned the title as the youngest Death Weapon in the history of Death Weapon Meister Academy. He was able to gather 99 evil human souls and slay a witch without the need of a meister. His skill in battle had allowed him to rival and outmatch that of Giriko, a fellow demon weapon who is skilled without a meister and spent 800 years gathering power.[27]

Franken Stein considered Justin dangerous enough to warrant the need for himself and Marie Mjolnir to fight as a pair, the latter of which lightly reminded the then-angered Death Scythe that he was capable of becoming a Death Scythe on his own unlike herself.[26]
