The Judge

The Judge is the series' eponymous main antagonist, true main protagonist and a thing that it revolves around. It is an unseen and unknown malevolent entity or force that has masterminded the events, kidnapping the main characters and other people and imprisoning them in The Base to torture and kill them. Virtually nothing is known about The Judge and its nature or exactly what it is, whether it's even human, some kind of organization or party or nothing of the above. The only thing that is known about it is that it's behind all of the events, having orchestrated and manipulated them, brought the characters to their situation and incarcerated them in its domain to impose its judgement upon them and punish them for their real or perceived sins. Nobody knows what or who The Judge is, whether it is even human or not, whether it is even sentient or not, whether it is even alive or not. The only thing that is known is that it is the thing that made the events happen. Lion mentioned hearing the kidnapper's voice before being abducted, which is the only thing that could directly imply that The Judge is a human, though she doesn't elaborate on whether the voice was masculine or feminine or what it was even like. The voice could as well belong to its accomplice or underling, like Fox, for example, and she notes that she did not see him which could as well imply that they were abducted by invisible man or incorporeal force. If The Judge is sentient, then it seemed to hate the characters and/or have a grudge and personal vendetta against them and wanted to play with them and to torture and kill them, perhaps in revenge for something they done, for their perceived or real crimes and sins and/or due to a twisted sense of justice, as the name, The Judge, could imply. It seems to be exceptionally cruel and sadistic as it seemingly gloats over its victims and taunts them and their sins and weaknesses, subtly teasing them and highlighting and using their sins against them so they would become their undoing. It also seemed to be very intolerant of crimes, seven deadly sins and any wrongdoings as that's allegedly the thing it's judging, however, ironically, its inhuman "judgements" and actions most likely surpass every thing, potential crime and wrongdoing that it's "accused" have ever done and it itself seems to be the embodiment of the sin that it seemingly most despises, that its most problematic sinner, the main and essentially only real rival, who almost managed to become a threat to its game and escape its clutches, and seemingly the most hated one, the Lion, was guilty in, a cardinal sin of pride.
