Juiz, Billy and the mechanics of Unjustice

Unjustice is one of the few negation abilities we don't fully understand yet, which I believe is a deliberate choice by Tozuka to get us when we least expect it. Much speculation has been made about it online, but we have gotten a few clues:

-Unjustice is likely a compulsory activation type - there'd be no point in Juiz covering her eyes unless she were protecting her allies from an ability that can't be turned off

-It only works when the user looks at the target directly, with her eyes uncovered. The glass visor on her helmet is probably made of a material that doesn't affect her ability

-It forces the target to do the actions opposite to their vision of justice - protectors attack, survivors self-harm, fighters stop fighting. Juiz herself says that her ability only has an effect when someone is acting by their sense of justice, so we can assume it's not like Untruth which negates anything

-There are times when Juiz looks at people with her eyes uncovered and her ability doesn't activate, which leads me to believe Unjustice has an additional activation requirement

But watching the Billy betrayal arc on the anime something clicked for me: I don't think Juiz can see into people's hearts the way Billy could. Otherwise she would've seen Billy's vision of justice when they fought. Juiz lost an arm because she misinterpreted his vision of justice, which she wouldn't have done if she had been able to see into his heart

Now, is it even possible that Billy could modify part of a negation ability? Yes. We do in fact see him do this twice:

-When he copies Unstoppable, his way of activating it is nothing like Top's. Top runs or physically moves his entire body, while Billy kicks the floor a few times then shoots off

-He also was able to use Unmove while blind by "seeing with sound"

And when you consider that Billy's vision of justice (I assume) is that only the strong should fight and the weak should be protected, it makes sense that he would gain the power to see into people's hearts and judge whether they're weak or strong

But if this is true, why only give this extra ability to Billy? He only ever gets to use it on one arc and then he loses Unjustice, so what does the series get out of it?

Well, we see Andy's very soul is tied to Fuuko's survival, and has in fact been that way since they joined the Union; we see Shen was being 100% honest about his dream of being the strongest in all creation, something that will come up again in the Summer arc; and we see that Juiz is bound to live and lead, which never comes up again

Unless...

And then it hits me. The confirmation to my suspicions of Unjustice having an extra activation requirement: I believe Juiz can only activate Unjustice when it fits her own vision of justice

She uses it on Andy and Tatiana when they're getting rowdy, because to lead she needs her underlings to follow her orders

She uses it against the Acks when they explicitly confirm they mean to kill most of humanity (which she wouldn't need to have asked if she could see into their hearts)

She uses it against Burn to save her own life

She means to use it against Rip during the Spring raid because he was attacking them with killer moves, and she successfully uses it to make him attack Spring, because they're inside his ability's area and if they don't kill him they'll all turn into cherry trees

And finally, she uses it on Victor when he tries to kill her. Victor even remarks that Unjustice had never worked on him before. These are people who've spent millenia together, and she never accidentally tagged him with Unjustice? This also leads me to believe Unjustice is a voluntary activation type, and the helmet and the shades were Juiz putting on an act so nobody would have a clear picture on Unjustice's powers. If it were compulsory, Victor would've been affected as soon as he tried to attack Juiz the second time. It wouldn't have taken until he was choking her for the effect to trigger

So yeah, I think I cracked it. I'm sure once Julia gets the abilitiy we'll get the full breakdown, but for now I feel pretty confident in my theory. What do y'all think?
