- ―Gallerian Marlon[src]
Judgment of Corruption is a song released by Akuno-P on December 22, 2010 in the Evils Kingdom album and later uploaded with a PV on June 13, 2011. It is the sixth song of the Seven Deadly Sins Series, depicting Greed.
Description[]
The tale of a greedy and heinous judge...
Evillious year 983. In the USE, there was a man who directed a courthouse under the government administration, and took in personal profit...
Evillious year 983. The Leviantan Civil War [avaritia]
Plot[]
The song takes place in the Union State of Evillious, where the judge Gallerian Marlon explains how he accepts bribes to pardon criminals of various backgrounds, no matter what the crime. He claims that "Money is the best lawyer in Hell". According to Gallerian, money is a necessity to help his "daughter" who is unable to walk. With the belief that his wish to restore her would come true if he gathered all the Vessels of Sin, the judge continues his corruption in the courtroom where "bad people laugh" and "good people cry". In the courtroom, the mass murderer General Tony Ausdin, is about to be sentenced to death for his crimes; however, because Gallerian is bribed, he is proclaimed innocent. As a result, a civil war starts which kills the general. This also leads to the judge's mansion burning down, along with him and his "daughter".
Afterwards, the judge wakes up in the Hellish Yard all alone and has yet to be judged for his sins. The Master of the Hellish Yard tells him that anyone can be saved with money, as it is "the best lawyer in Hell". Gallerian tells the Master of the Hellish Yard that he will never give his fortune to her, or anyone. With this conclusion, his body then falls through the void, while he plans to turn the place into a "Utopia" for himself and his "daughter" after he gathers the sin fragments.
Lyrics[]
「さあ、開廷の時間だ」
汚された司法
被告の貧富で決まる罪状
法廷の主（master of the court）たる
私が望むのは 正義より金
極悪人でも
金さえ払えば 救ってやるさ
地獄の沙汰も金次第
容姿や年齢 人種や性別
全て関係ない
大切なことは 金が払えるか
ただそれだけだ
お前の人生は私次第
救いが欲しけりゃ金を出せ
そう罪は私のさじ加減ひとつ
悪徳のジャッジメント
冤罪の沼からスクわれたいならば
もっとお金を渡しなさい
足の不自由な 娘の為にも
金が必要
大罪の器 七つが揃えば
願いは叶う
今日も繰り広げられる疑惑の法廷
悪人が笑い善人が泣く
そう罪は私のさじ加減ひとつ
悪徳のジャッジメント
自らの悲願を叶えるためならば
非道の槌を振るい続ける
民衆殺しの 悪辣将軍
死罪が当然
渡された賄賂 私は被告に
無罪を告げた
巻き起こる怒り 始まった内戦
殺された将軍
無残な死体 野にさらす
怒りの矛先 私へと向かい
燃え盛る家
愛しい「娘」よ
二人一緒なら 恐怖などない
焼け落ちた屋敷から見つかるだろう
孤独な「親子」の亡骸が⋯
目が覚めた時に 一人いた場所は
冥界の門
天国か地獄か それを決めるのは
冥界の主（master of the hellish yard）
極悪人でも
金さえ払えば 救ってやるさ
地獄の沙汰も金次第
私は微笑み 冥界の主に
そっと耳打ち
「私の財産 貴様なんぞには 決して渡さない」
扉に飛び込んだこの身体
地獄の底へ落ちて行く
そう罪は私のさじ加減ひとつ
悪徳のジャッジメント
たとえ誰だろうと私のこの罪
裁くことは認めない
そういつか再びこの手に集めよう
大罪のフラグメント
その時に地獄は私と娘の
理想郷（ユートピア）へと変わるだろう⋯

“Come, it’s time for the trial.”
A disgraced administration of justice
With charges decided by the defendant’s wealth
As the master of the court
I desire money more than justice
Even if you’re a scoundrel
If you pay money I’ll save you
Money is the best lawyer in Hell
Appearance and age, race and gender
All of it’s irrelevant
The most important thing is if you can pay money
That’s all there is to it
Your life depends on me
If you want help, show me the money
Yes, your sins are my consideration alone
Judgment of corruption
If you want rescue from a swamp of false charges
Hand over more money
For the sake of my disabled daughter, too
I need money
If I collect the seven vessels of grave sin
My wish will come true
Today too in the unfolding courtroom of doubt
The wicked laugh, the innocent cry
Yes, your sins are my consideration alone
Judgment of corruption
If it’s to grant my own dearest wish
I will continue to swing this unjust mallet
A vicious general is a mass murderer
A capital crime charge is natural
I was handed a bribe, and I
Declare the defendant innocent
In the resulting rage, a civil war began
The general was killed
His miserable corpse is exposed on the field
The force of the anger comes to face me
And my house blazes
My beloved “daughter”
If we two are together, I have nothing to fear
From the burned down mansion, they’ll probably find
The remains of a solitary “parent and child”…
This place where I was alone when I opened my eyes
Is the gate of the Hellish Yard
Heaven or hell, that is decided by
The Master of the Hellish Yard
Even if you’re a scoundrel
If you pay money I’ll save you
Money is the best lawyer in Hell
I smile at the Master of the Hellish Yard
And softly whisper
“I will never hand over my fortune to the likes of you”
I jumped through the door and my body
Falls right down to the bottom of hell
Yes, sins are my consideration alone
Judgment of corruption
No matter who it is, I won’t approve
Anyone judging this sin of mine
Yes, one day I will again gather in my hands
The fragments of deadly sin
In that moment, hell may turn into
Me and my daughter’s utopia...

Trivia[]
Conceptualization and Origin[]
- The song's English title, "Mammon's court", is a reference to Mammon, the patron Demon of Greed.
- Originally, mothy tried to make the song like The Daughter of Evil, but felt it was cheap; as a result, the final story and "punchline" was very different than the original draft planned for Gallerian.[1]
- According to mothy, the song had taken a long time to complete compared to his other songs.[2]
Curiosities[]
- Like the other songs in the Seven Deadly Sins Series, the song PV begins with the phrase "さあ" (Saa).
- In several instances between verses during the song PV, the screen flashes words relating to the lyrics, elaborating on the corruption of the courts, Gallerian's obsession with money, and Ma making him aware of the "magic" that could rejuvenate his "daughter".
- Similar to The Muzzle of Nemesis PV, after Gallerian falls through the gates of Hell, a tunnel is being fallen through, with five colored rings along the tunnels of the walls; each ring is the color of the Deadly Sin representing it, excluding greed and wrath, and appears in the song series' chronological order.
- During the PV, the words "Money is the best lawyer in Hell" appear when Nemesis asks Gallerian to repent, alluding to the song.
- The Evils Court booklet relates how Gallerian was the previous Master of the Court before the Director Doll, concluding that this discussion would bring the court meaningful results.[3]
- Later in the booklet, Gammon Octo noted the irony of the Master of the Court inheriting his temperament and collectibles rather than Gear, speculating he may be the dying wish of Adam instead; he also commented how, despite inciting Gallerian, Ma seemed to disapprove of his behavior.[4]
