Wild Mass Guessing for Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. Per policy, all spoilers are unmarked!
- This troper agrees. It's actually highly possible, as the OT3 Brief/Panty/Stocking is actually pretty popular within the fandom. Oh, I'd be insanely jealous too. I mean, COME ON!
- This trouper seconds this. I mean think about it, Stocking has repented of her crimes and went to Heaven... and Satan and his minions can change their shape and assume disguises (remember, this is how he originally tricked Adam and Eve to eat the fruit). So it stands to reasoon that the Stocking that chopped up Panty is not the real Stocking, and season 2 will begin with the real Stocking coming back to Earth to attack the imposter that killed her sister and join in the mission to repair Panty.
- Obviously is pushing it if you ask me. Demons ARE angels that fell from heaven to hell, Stocking DID come down from Heaven, and have you seen Stocking when she gets mad? I say her big entrance was just her getting kicked out of Heaven again and she chose to keep that tidbit quiet. ... Or she was a demon all along. Or this was a ridiculously elaborate plan to get back at Panty for the pudding thing.
- Or she could have been possessed
- This troper seconds this. I mean, just look at her eyes.
- This Troper will bet that the entire "second season plot" will be resolved in the first half of the first episode of season 2 and everything will go back to being episodic after that.
- The full first episode of the second season, at the most.
- Considering that Stocking was reluctant of going to heaven until Panty thought up the "tube towards heaven" ordeal, was more than willing to marry a ghost (though it unwittingly sent him to heaven) and that she is guilty of gluttony, without taking in account she has admitted lusting and fornicating, which would send her back to Daten City as much as Panty was rejected for having sex indiscriminately, it's actually plausible that Stocking was a demon in disguise all along, or at least was made a demon along the way.
- And yet she screened Panty from attack right when she entered, later pushing her out of range entirely, thus destroying the demons' chances of salvaging their Hellsgate scheme. Nobody believed her when she said she's a demon, and did what she did... I could go with the mind control theory. She did have the eyes and all... Corset showed himself able to infiltrate Brief's schlong right under their noses, and then showed the ability to split himself into many parts... so he might have been posessing Stocking since the moment that heel splattered him into many pieces and he realized he was still alive and could be in many parts at once. still... that doesn't explain what in the world is Oten City, and why it, too has a keyhole.
- This actually appears to be semi-confirmed by the season 2 poster. Here's a fact that I have yet to see anyone point out: Demon!Stocking in the poster also has a halo. This means that she's half-angel half-demon, aka a Nephilim. However, she may not be a born nephilim. In The Diet Syndrome, Garter goes on to say that "all the batty ghost bacteria" resided within Stocking after she ate all that cakey food stuff. In the poster, you can see that she actually appears to be all of those exact same germs combined◊. They're absolutely controlling her from the inside-out. Her tight-bindings? They're there to keep all the grudgey-germs bound together.
- Panty will bust out a gun-cleaning kit and/or refill it with more bullets and all Stocking has to do is sharpen both her swords.
- Just watch this video.
- You're not the only one who thinks the same idea. In fact, the whole American and Japanese fandom will explode if My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic gets dubbed to Japanese and both Panty and Stocking's voice actresses dubs both Applejack and Twilight Sparkle respectively.
- Ninja
- American Fast Food chains
- Samurai
- The Powerpuff Girls (For reasons pre-established)
- Jossed, only sex.
- Um, it isn't exactly jossed if the show isn't done yet.
- It is when the key to awakening the blood of Hellsmonkey in Brief was "an angel's kiss" and we didn't get to see ANY of the foreplay in episode 12. We can safely assume her lips got to his during that time they had to themselves off screen.
- Not to be too dirty, but a girl does have more than one set of lips. And this being PSG....
- There is nothing to prove that they wont get a kiss next season is what I am saying.
- Um, it isn't exactly jossed if the show isn't done yet.
- That actually does make sense via Fridge Brilliance. Daten City is a pun on fallen angel, and Satan (well, Lucifer) is mainly known for his fall from grace. Of course, that leaves the question of exactly who or what Garterbelt would be, considering the mayor seems to know him from way before...
- Archangel Michael Maybe?
- Maybe not quite Satan... but Him.
- Given the Theme Naming of the Heros and Villains of the show, My best guess would be Knickers.
- But wouldn't that be Brief's Evil Counterpart? That is, unless...
- ...Unless Brief is secretly an archangel?!?!
- I say he is Batman after all Scanty and Kneesocks limo SUV and their armbands have the bat symbol on them.
- But wouldn't that be Brief's Evil Counterpart? That is, unless...
- Maybe he's Corset from the OST. ...Squick at the implications of that.
- I wouldn't be surprised. After all, he (she?) has been presented as Garterbelt's Evil Counterpart and both a corset and a belt are something you tie around your body. Both are also used to keep something in check - belts for men to keep their pants up (pracmatic clothing) and corsets for women to tie their waists thin (estetic clothing) - much like a boss keeps tabs on his/her underlings.
- I thought garters were meant for women? (To wear under PANTIES and keep the STOCKINGS up.)
- Confirmed! I KNEW IT
- I hereby declare this Wild Mass Guessing: JOSSED!
- I wouldn't be surprised. After all, he (she?) has been presented as Garterbelt's Evil Counterpart and both a corset and a belt are something you tie around your body. Both are also used to keep something in check - belts for men to keep their pants up (pracmatic clothing) and corsets for women to tie their waists thin (estetic clothing) - much like a boss keeps tabs on his/her underlings.
- It could also make Scanty and Kneesocks (or at least Kneesocks) have a Heel–Face Turn. The mayor could easily just directly recruit him as a replacement, probably due to the demon sisters' incompetence, and make him into something both sides will be afraid of. Even Evil Has Standards, you know.
- This will probably never come to be, but it seems the Heroic BSoD and Character Development have already come into effect nonetheless.
- Jossed. Stocking did.
- Well, he was important to the plot, alright... Still haven't seen a Transformation Sequence yet, though.
- The OST features a song called 'Cherryboy Riot' and it sounds exactly like a male version the Anarchy and Demon sisters' themes, enticing phrases chopped up into catchy beats included....
- Possibly Jossed, what with the blood-kin of Hellsmonkey thing.
- Well, in "Les Diaboliques" we see Chuck driving the car in a way that's maybe even better than the sisters. Also, it's obvious that he can use it to fight, and Stocking wasn't seen with the intention to change place with him. So, Panty and Stocking drive See Through, but it's actually Chuck's car/weapon. And, with Fastener, welll...
- Considering that Chuck appears alongside Panty And Stocking in the end credits, which seems to be about how the three died, this is not impossible.
- Have we found a plot? Nope. Just an epic episode. (But even if this WMG turned out to be true, I think it was worth it)
- Jossed; Scanty and Kneesocks appear in episode 7, suggesting that there is a plot after all.
- Except, of course, that they went through Villain Decay just as fast as Team Rocket did. Really, we could go either way at this point.
- But then they snapped back to scarily effective in Episode 12. And there is a plot now. In other words, Jossed.
- Jossed; Scanty and Kneesocks appear in episode 7, suggesting that there is a plot after all.
- Just think about it, angels that protect the souls of departed people, the ghost will be souls of people who just died, and the demons will try to take that souls to hell
- That would certainly explain why there's a city between Heaven and Hell in the first place - it's Purgatory.
- So does that mean Panty and Stocking are...? If so, then they're not doing a very good job.
- That would certainly explain why there's a city between Heaven and Hell in the first place - it's Purgatory.
- It's well known that Japanese anime fans want their waifus to be virgins (case in point: Kannagi: Crazy Shrine Maidens fans). It's also well known that many American fans are obsessed with the generic anime style, drawing anything from Western shows to actual people in a style that they think is better than the original (see DeviantArt). What's the best way to mess with the heads of both? Make an anime in a Western style, explicitly stating that the main characters aren't pure.
- BEST WMG.
- True or not, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt has certainly succeeded in screwing with Fan Dumb. Gainax as usual.
- At least they still work for Heaven; unlike a certain troublesome freeloader named Tenshi...
- That would probably explain why they're very bitchy to almost everyone around them; they always had to play nice when they were alive, thus letting lots of people walk all over them and get away with being really rude to them. Since they're angels now, they get to exercise all the things they wanted to do, which includes finally telling others to "piss off".
- Maybe they actually weren't that virtuous in their past lives, but became angels simply because they had the absolute crappiest luck in the universe. Considering how Stocking said Panty knows nothing about true love, and the dark implications of "Fallen Angel," there might be more to the angels' pasts than we were initially led to believe. It might also explain their abnormally good luck in "The Stripping": it's a pity gift from God.
- OR, Panty died a virtuous virgin, and as such was rewarded with never experiencing pain/pregnancy/STDs during sex. Likewise, Stocking was either diabetic from birth, had very sensitive teeth, but ultimately could never eat anything sweet. Her reward was to forever indulge in sweets with no side effects. As for the demons, they could have been crooked prostitutes who were sent to hell and were punished by being forced to become rulemongers and to be punished gravely for even having the thought of sex.
- OP's original WMG actually gets some canon basis in episode 12. In 12-A, Scanty and Kneesocks end up having some pretty kinky foodsex, and in 12-B, Panty appears to not recognize the pain of having a hymen ripped.
- People don't become angels when they die
- You're confusing Christian dogma with fiction.
- To be fair, considering how the series is, any ending they choose would be a Gainax Ending.
- Who knows? i'm pretty sure that when the sister's fight the mayor there will be an over long speech about how the ghost existence is all human's fault. and blah blah blah
- This WMG has been Jossed. So. HARD.
- This troper begs to disagree. Episode 13 keeps getting labeled as a Gainax Ending, when everyone seems to fail to take into account that there's a Season 2 coming. It's more like a Cliffhanger or a sudden plot twist. Calling this a Gainax Ending would be like saying Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann ended after Lordgenome's defeat.
- I agree in disagreeing but disagree as well. Until we get a flat out official statement, it's all just extented trolling and maybes. That said, the ending, up until the "epilogue", very well DID end just like the original WMG predicted.

It's more like a Cliffhanger or a sudden plot twist. Calling this a Gainax Ending would be like saying Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann ended after Lordgenome's defeat.
- Well, when you assume that the episode ends with the credits roll and everything happening in the stinger is just a non-canon omake (and it certainly will be forgotten in the beginning of season 2 considering what kind of stupid plot hook it is) you are left with a pretty normal "Good pwns evil and everyone rejoices" happy end.
- I think that there is two things about that Gainax is THE BEST. Gainax Ending and mechas. They already parodied the transformers franchise, the western animation and the Magical Girl genre, and the opportunity to parody their two best series it's too good to waste.
- Does "Transwhoremers" count?
- No, that's transformer's parody. Aaaand, as it's no human controlling them, i don't think it count as Mechas.
- Does "Transwhoremers" count?
- They weren't exiled from Heaven for Panty's lust or Stocking's Gluttony, they were exiled for being bisexual AND for being lovers AND sisters(oooh, nice!)
- You know they're sisters, right?
- I think that was obvious
- Then why would Garterbelt, a gay priest, be their handler? He's not an angel (if he is, then Gainax has not stated it).
- Well. Maybe, he, being a priest, has to be punished for being gay...and there is a worse punish that have to take care of those two?
- Jossed as of Once Upon A Time In Garterbelt. He's not being punished, that was being forced to live through all of history from the time of the dinosaurs. Handling the angel's is God's mission for him, not his punishment. And he was punished in the first place for his past crimes which, according to his journal, is just about everything.
- You know they're sisters, right?
- Dude, Not Funny!. He was exiled for being a pedophile, perhaps?
- Strictly speaking, while that's certainly the joke, he's not a pedophile, or hasn't been portrayed as such. He's only drooled over high school boys of indeterminate age. Gay, yes, but ephebophile at worst (ie, attracted to teenagers). Not only that, but... people really don't get too bent out of shape about adults appreciating the beauty of teenagers. If they did, anime girls, schoolgirl outfits, and barely legal porn would be much bigger deals. I mean outside of Australia, that is.
- If Garterbelt's journal (shown in the most recent episode as of this writing) is true, then he's even cooler than an angel: he's an ex-gangster who, after his death, was returned to earth by God to the beginning of time as an immortal to fulfill a grand, mysterious, and currently undefined mission.
- So basically Jossed.
- Your Head Asplode
- Wait, it wasn't a parody of the american justice system, with juries and death penalties?
- Jossed: given what happened in episode 12, Brief may end up with Panty after all.
- Turns out, it's none of the above.
- The series isn't over yet! There will be a second season! Therefore, he still has time to be paired with somebody. Besides, Panty's only cut up, not dead, and in the last two episodes it looked like there was real affection between them.
- This troper can't see them finalizing any relationships... Unless Panty undergoes some massive personality changes, it'll probably be limited to the occasional round of casual sex. Or maybe Scanty and Kneesocks will pull a Heel–Face Turn in Season 2, and Brief will wind up with one (or more likely both) of them.
- Turns out, it's none of the above.
- Confirmed, sort of. Stocking gets to go back to Heaven, while Panty becomes human again.
- The above gets disproved. Panty's power loss is simply the reconstruction of her hymen; she gets over it with Briefs' help. Second, Stocking comes back. And reveals she's a demon. Whether this Stocking is a demon masquerading as Stocking or if Stocking was one all along has yet to be explained.
- I already mentioned it someplace else, but it wouldn't be to much of a stretch to assume Corset is the mayor... unless they pull a fast one on us, of course.
- Considering all the theories that Brief is an angel in disguise...maybe that's his real name?
- In any case, it has to be a Transformation Sequence theme. It's just way too similar to "Fly Away" and "Theme for Scanty & Kneesocks".
- This troper noticed that while "Fly Away Now" is high-pitched - well, more so than Scanty & Kneesocks' theme - and Scanty & Kneesocks' theme has deep-sounding vocals, "Corset Theme" is more in between. Maybe "Corset" is a character that is on neither side? Neutral?
- In any case, I'm betting that Corset uses a Sword and Gun combo. He/She just has to. Maybe they're a renegade angel/demon who hasn't been caught yet.
- I'm betting bazooka. ...I don't know, corsets just feel like they have that kind of shape.
- True, but then again, panties aren't shaped like guns.
- Depending on the way you hold it, it kinda does.
- I'm betting bazooka. ...I don't know, corsets just feel like they have that kind of shape.
- Episode 12 confirms it's the mayor.
- Episode 13 later confirms that he's evil, he's known Garterbelt for a while, and he doesn't have demon weapons.
- He DOES have demon weapons. He turns Scanty and Kneesocks into swords.
- Episode 13 later confirms that he's evil, he's known Garterbelt for a while, and he doesn't have demon weapons.
- It's the only sensible thought I can come up with and have to cling to every time I watch "Chuck to the Future".
- Expanding on this WMG, Fastener is actually a bisexual female who once competed with Chuck for another female, but over time developed feelings for Chuck she didn't want to admit, or perhaps can't because their owners are enemies. The word 'Future' in 'Chuck to the Future' might be hinting that Chuck is destined to pair with Fastener.
- yeah, it seems probable. Maybe, s/he will have a Heel–Face Turn and become one of the good ones.
- Well, that explains her shape...
- And her little brain devil was a girl ...
- While we're at it, The two brain things didn't appear to use any protection, so...
- Expanding on this WMG, Fastener is actually a bisexual female who once competed with Chuck for another female, but over time developed feelings for Chuck she didn't want to admit, or perhaps can't because their owners are enemies. The word 'Future' in 'Chuck to the Future' might be hinting that Chuck is destined to pair with Fastener.
- Male otaku have a lot of unpleasant stereotypes associated with them. According to stereotype, they are ugly, unpleasant to be around, have horrible social skills and are incapable of finding mutual love. They also often lust after female anime characters, and a behavior commonly associated with them is to claim their favorite to be their "wife". The seriousness of the claim can range from being a simple exaggeration used to express how much they love the character to, well... Seriousness. Some of the loonier ones (which tend to contribute more to the stereotype) are seriously in mad love with their "wife", and don't seem to consider the barrier between reality and fiction nor whether or not the object of their affections would actually love them back if they existed (if stereotypes hold true in this situation, they more than likely would not). Although nothing points to him being an otaku, the ghost in this episode is ugly, unpleasant to be around, has horrible social skills and is incapable of finding mutual love (well, prior to the episode anyway in regards to the last one). Stocking is very popular among otaku, more so than her sister. Despite being about the last person that anyone would fall for, Stocking ends up falling in love at first sight with the ghost anyway. Although this can be interpreted as being Wish-Fulfillment based on this description alone, it should be noted that the episode makes it quite clear that Stocking has some seriously seriously messed up tastes in men. Pretty much the entire city reacts to him like you would expect most people to, and they mock Stocking for willingly going out with him. In short, the episode mocks the stereotypical otaku by pairing up someone who fits the stereotype to the bill with a favorite target of Otaku Perverse Sexual Lust, and then pointing out how unrealistic the scenario is.
- More likely it was about that you can defeat ghosts without weapons and that even so called otakus are as human as others and deserve to be loved.
- Considering the nature of the show, it is more likely the former.
- Considering the nature of Gainax, it could very well be all of those things, at once.
- Considering the in-show otaku is Brief, and he gets with Panty in the end the original theory is unlikely.
- Considering the nature of the show, it is more likely the former.
- Personally as far as sexuality is concerned i think Garter spent so much time on God's mission looking for the Hell's Monkey hidden as boys penises that he started liking to look at them.
- Likewise, there will be no fight with the mayor, and the Daemon sisters were meant to screw with the fans by giving them an awesome intro then immediately tossing them the Villain Ball as GAINAX's huge "FAK YOU BITCH" to Draco in Leather Pants.
- Jossed. Corset is indeed the mayor.
- The Demon Sisters have become competent again, so that's Jossed too.
- Corset can be a third sister who hadn't died along with her sisters, or perhaps she's Panty and Stocking's mother who comes to take them back to heaven.
- If she's their sister, I think she may be on Scanty and Kneesocks' side. Just to mess with the angels.
- Jossed. Corset is male, and knows Garterbelt but not the angels.
- Funny how everyone immediately concluded Corset was a girl since his theme was sung by women.
- Jossed. Brief has been seen without his shirt in episode nine, I believe. That and Brief's "shotgun".
- That must be a really well disguised corset....I wonder why Panty's gun is reasonably sized. Also if OP is true, maybe that's why whoever gets to see Brief's crotch is shocked.
- Confirmed: Corset is the mayor.
- How so? Corset is not Brief, and definitely not an angel. Therefore the WMG is Jossed.
- If you undo the lacing on a corset, it becomes long and flat. One could assume if the lace was the (ordinary sized) handle, then the corset itself would make a very LARGE blade. How does it keep from breaking apart?
- Corset is Cloud?
- Jossed, actually. Corset has no weapon.
- Partially... He used Scanty and Kneesocks as his dual BFS. And there was much rejoicing.
- Moreover, he wraps them in his bondage straps to make them into swords. Not exactly the same thing, but similar.
- Panty and Stocking will eventually have to take him out.
- After the fights in Buzz Of The Beehive and Les Diaboliques she immediately seeks sex from the first male in sight. Why? To regain the energy she just lost.
- In episode 12-B Panty starts to lose her powers after she can't have sex anymore.
- Ehhhhhhhh... I'm not buying this one. Garter forgot to tell Panty she was not allowed to have sex after she already screwed about three dozen guys; what I'm seeing here is that heaven got relatively pissed off with Panty for breaking orders she didn't know she had, and took her powers away as a result. Damnit, Garter! You should have told her this from the beginning!
- Contrary to my original speculation, It didn't happen.
- Eeeeeh, Garterbelt talks about the hymen reconstruction (what caused her power loss) as if it were natural. Still, she regains her powers after breaking it with Brief's "help". Therefore, the WMG is somewhat confirmed, as Panty had no powers when she was a virgin.
- That makes so much sense.
- OH SNAP!
- To clarify, Brief's dick is the key to a massive ghost hidden under Daten City.
- Garterbelt wasn't watching the boys in a man-on-a-mission kind of way... even if it was his mission, he was clearly having fun with it...
- Although technically it's actually supposed to be 26 episodes long, which leaves plenty of time for Panty to rescue brief and possibly declare war on all the demons coming in. note
- That's 26 half-length episodes, not full-length.
- FUUUUUUUU-!
- Taking that into account, it will actually be at least 27 episodes, assuming, the final episode will be a double-length one like Episode 6.
- That's 26 half-length episodes, not full-length.
- As the OP, I have only one thing to say: I Knew It!! But the head-blowing was for other reasons too.
- Although, to be fair, there was a "Until Season 2!" splash at the end of Episode 13. Therefore, we can probably expect more.
- Well, a finale's a finale, even if it isn't the end of the show. Brief and Chuck, onward!
- Although, to be fair, there was a "Until Season 2!" splash at the end of Episode 13. Therefore, we can probably expect more.
- I connected the dots how you said, and my picture seemed to have skipped a few dots. How did Brief, who fell for Panty upon seeing her in The Buzz of the Beehive, start wanking to her porno before he knew she existed?
- That was Brief? I thought it was some random pervert.
- I connected the dots how you said, and my picture seemed to have skipped a few dots. How did Brief, who fell for Panty upon seeing her in The Buzz of the Beehive, start wanking to her porno before he knew she existed?
- This means Brief is the key to opening the Corset. Oh God...
- Pretty much confirmed; at the very least, he's the key to unleashing hell on earth.
- I'd actually call this one inverted... Based on everything we've seen of him, his corset is actually the source of his powers. The tighter the stronger.
- Panty will recover quickly from her Heroic BSoD and will come to Garterbelt for guidance as they go into hiding.
- The key will need a sacrifice, and when Corset loses patience trying to find Panty, he will throw Scanty and Kneesocks into oblivion.
- Brief will not survive being used as the key, and will somehow become an angel. This will be closely followed by a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.
- Maybe he'll just go to Heaven and reason with God to let Panty back after Corset is defeated; or maybe his death alone would trigger something in Panty that shows she's more than a total bitch who cares about men for sex. Either way, Panty would get what she wants (to return to Heaven) and Brief what he wants (to be together with Panty).
- Panty has an epiphany and it's actually a part of the "No sex" deal that wasn't mentioned; She is stuck a virgin and powerless until she has sex in a manner which is not considered sinful. How? In wedlock, preferably with Brief so shippers can squee.
- Maybe after they marry, Panty ascends to Heaven anyways in a way that makes it look like the finale of TTGL.
- Brief will be the third among Panty and Stocking during the final battle against Scanty, Kneesocks and Corset. He will have a shotgun, while Corset has a sniper rifle.
- Chuck will make a Heroic Sacrifice for one of the protagonists, regardless of how he's been treated thus far.
- Stocking is aware of the events that have taken place, and acts out a sin punishable by banishment from heaven, and will return as a Demon, not unlike Scanty and Kneesocks, and will support Panty in her Darkest Hour.
- This WMG is the only one that's somewhat right. At the very least, Stocking became a Demon...
- When Corset is defeated and sealed away once and for all, God will instantly let Panty go to heaven, and will release Garterbelt from immortality.
- Or...There will be no definite ending, and Scanty, Kneesocks and Corset will pull a Team Rocket, and promise to return another day.
- My vision of the finale is a little different: during the final battle, Panty pulls a Heroic Sacrifice to save Brief's life, thus being able to regain her angel powers, reunite with Stocking, and defeat Corset with her. After it's all over, seeing how she and Brief are in love with each other, Panty will choose to remain as a human and stay in Daten City to be with him, leaving Stocking in Heaven with her fiancé, the Ghost from episode 9. Flash forward to a few years later, showing a married Panty and Brief at the maternity with their newborn child, while Stocking watches everything from outside, as the full version of "Fallen Angel" plays in the background.
- Isn't this anime by Gainax, though?
- Garterbelt had known that Brief was Hellsmonkey for some time and had been keeping an eye on him.
- Stocking telling Panty that she hasn't experienced love before in Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City. In Panty + Brief, Panty finally seems to actually acknowledge Brief
- Also, in that episode, Panty said all she needed in a guy was "a pretty face and a large member." At this point we already knew about Brief's ... well-endowment ... foreshadowing that he'd have a nice face as well, and so Panty's possible attraction to him?
- From High School Nudical, Brief's underwear did turn into a BFG.
- In "The Stripping," Brief was somehow able to bet over $200,000 on Panty's panties, despite being a highschooler. We later find out that it's because he's filthy rich. And where do you think he got all his Ghost-finding items from?
- Also notable because he apparently loses all his money earlier in the episode.
- If you look, even the Bottle Episode has hints of foreshadowing: remember the conversation Panty had with the long pole reaching to Heaven? Note that Stocking is perfectly fine with staying on Earth, while Panty seems a little more desperate.
- Also her plan mirrors that of the Big Bad's: force your way into heaven using a very tall pole.
- The reason Stocking fell in love with the ghost is that she's actually a demon.
- Confirmed?
- Both Corset and Stocking have a fondness of bondage.
- And the mayor did seem to have a keen interest in her once she got tied up.
- In the Transwhoremers episode, Panty seemed to have more of an Autobot scheme. Stocking, conversely, turned into a more Decepticon-themed character. In the season finale, it is revealed that Stocking is really a demon.
- Jossed. Brief's dick is the key to unleashing hell on earth.
- It's too early in the game to say if it's true or not, but high chances dictates that is names is Trunks, not Boxer.
- I honestly hope for "Boxer", Trunks makes me think of another character with the same name, one of which I wish to keep my respect for intact
- Quite a long shot for that to happen. Panty and Stocking were shown to maintain a massive stockpile of their hardware at the church ("High School Nudical"), which also explains why they could afford to sell/auction off at least a portion of them in "The Stripping"; they simply had a lot of these to go around, and it wouldn't be surprising if Panty still has a least a few more pairs back home.
- It would be a nice touch to see, especially after the finale.
- Eh, didn't happen.
- There was a "Until Season 2" message at the end of Episode 13. So, not quite Jossed yet, unless that was Gainax lying to us again.
- Confirmed. Sorry, no death part.
- It's Gainax, they wait to waste near the 40% of the entire budget in the Grand Finale.
- And when Panty gets her powers back, she and Stocking will have a new transformation sequence, and will battle in that style the whole way through.
- That will be a complete Moment of Awesome
- Probably justified, given how episode 11 was mostly recap footage or minimal animation.
- Probably confirmed; it's been implied that they have the same relation that the angels have with Garter.
- After seeing the episode, this makes a lot of sense.
- After seeing the episode, EVERYTHING makes a lot of sense...
- We should make a Fridge Brilliance article about this.
- After seeing the episode, EVERYTHING makes a lot of sense...
- This troper thought for a while that the song was a bit from Brief's perspective (what with the yearning and love to heaven), but the 'no place to hide' angle is brilliant.
- One could tale the story of panty and stocking before being exiled. The other, the things after episode 1.
- Then Garter-hen, showcasing the quest to pick up all 666 pieces of Panty. Chuck doesn't get a chapter.
- I can imagine a lot of trouble for the studio if they even conceive any merchandise that arises from this show.
- Oh my god, I CAN'T UNSEE IT!!note
- I can't be the only one who wants Panty's panty gun, can I? Stocking's sword might be hard to ship to the US, though....
- Eh, they can just transform them into stockings during shipping.
- The post office is going to think I'm weird if I get transforming panties and stockings sent to my house from Japan. Oh well....
- As the OP, It is my obligation to tell you all that this has been brutally confirmed. Have A Nice Day.
- Scanty and Kneesocks with Garterbelt is more likely, judging by the final episode. That is, unless Brief and Chuck will be the heroes.
- Garter ends the episode with "Brief and Chuck, go forth!" So, probably them.
- Actually, she's already engaged to that ghost from episode 9.
- Wasn't he dead?
- He could be in heaven waiting for her
- Well, the ending isn't going to stop shippers.
- If she really is a demon, then it's more than possible.
- Although, since the bondage fetish thing that brings them together, that still leaves room for Stocking x Garterbelt. I prefer Stocking x Corset, but still. Even though Garterbelt was apparently gay, he could actually be bisexual.
- I shall shiver in antici————
- What have you done with Stocking!?Nothing, why do you think I should?
- Now that I think about it, that would make "Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City" pretty significant, as that was the episode where Panty learned that fighting isn't the only way to stop a Ghost.
- Jossed via finale.
- Probably when he takes of his Corset, he transforms
- Well, that one got Jossed.
- THIS. MUST. HAPPEN.
- Or at least Keith David. Any other voice actor, and it won't be as awesome.
- Michael Clarke Duncan perhaps?
- Kevin Michael Richardson. That is all.
- Isaiah Mustafa. He does seem to be One of Us, after all.
- Or maybe Corbin Bleu.
- Jossed: It's Christopher Sabat.
Word of God has confirmed they're making an extra episode to be released exclusively with the final DVD and Blu-ray set to make up for the Recap Episode that is "D.C. Confidential". That being said, a prequel would probably work well.
- Jossed, it's an omake consisting of micro-shorts strung together.
- Actually, that was a special episode that was release on the 5th volume on DVD and blu-ray instead, so it's not sure that the special episode was the OVA or that the release date of the final volume that has an OVA is the OVA
- One Youtube user commented saying that Stocking couldn't be a demon because, if she was, she couldn't touch her Heaven weapons and wouldn't have been accepted into Heaven. I suspect that she said she was a demon just to fool Corset and finally finish him off when they got to the destination.
- Besides, considering Panty and Stocking's Mother...
- OP here would also like to add: Perhaps Stocking is Panty's half-sister? Half angel, half demon, with the same mom?
- Well, they have the same surname (Anarchy), so they'd either have to have the same father, their mom's adultry is unknown to Panty's father, or they have their mother's name.
- I was betting on both Panty and Stocking are half and half, but never revealed to anyone else. Stocking just preempted Panty on the Face–Heel Turn, and we never did get to see Panty's reaction to The Reveal. Would make sense for both of them, really, having their extreme vices yet answering to angelic duty, not to mention being kicked out of Heaven in the first place.
- Or, Stocking is an angel and she just meant that she's on the demon's SIDE.
- Or, Stocking became a demon sometime between returning to Heaven and her Big Damn Heroes moment.
- Or worse yet, it isn't even Stocking, but someone impersonating her!
- So Stocking is like Urd?
- I figured if this really is Stocking, it's part of a plan to take down Corset
- OP here would also like to add: Perhaps Stocking is Panty's half-sister? Half angel, half demon, with the same mom?
- Everything happened after D.C. confidential. When Stocking was alone, he seduce her, with they love for pain, and convince her to betray panty and heaven. When they completed the mission, she didn't return to heaven, she just stand between the doors and Daten city waiting to act. she putted the weapon aiming to the other side, unexpected of it's effect calling god. She killed Panty because using her weapon against an angel it's the only way to become a Demon.
- You never know.
- But parodying it...
- Due to their constant failures Corset ditches the two sisters for Stocking as his right hand minion. Furious at being abandoned and loathing Stocking for stealing their position, the two begrudgingly team up with Garterbelt and group to stop their former employer.
- Let's take it another step further...Remember when Scanty was meant to be engaged to Brief? That's Foreshadowing for the second season. During the journey together with the 'loser-duo', Scanty will slowly develop feelings for Brief, and at the end he has to decide whether he'll go back to Panty or stick with Scanty instead. He'll still revive Panty in either case. It could go another way: Scanty deliberately tries to sabotage the resurrection, wanting Brief to stay with her as long as she can.
- Think about it: it happens right after the end credits are done with all the copyright and whatnot. There will be no second season; it's just Gainax's way of Self-Deprecation what with its frequent Mind Fucks and Ass Pulls.
- Or, she will shoot the crap out of Stocking. That is if a FURIOUS Brief doesn't do it first.
- Or, Oten City is a Cloud Cuckoo Land- this troper found the citizens of Daten City to be fairly average, so what about a city full of nutters?
- Well, considering how Daten City happens to be a city "where love and desire flow freely," I'm guessing Oten is probably a lot stricter in it's moral standards, and probably the closest place to Heaven on Earth as well.
- Or, Oten City is a Cloud Cuckoo Land- this troper found the citizens of Daten City to be fairly average, so what about a city full of nutters?
- If what Geekboy Homecoming says anything, then this is perhaps Jossed. Oten City appears to be a completely deserted city, with skeletons laying around and hundreds of graveyards everywhere. What the hell happened there!?
- While saying "You Motherfakah!"
- "You fathahfakah!"
- Wait a minute... Bernkastel has fame of being a Troll... The troll ending at episode 13... GOOOOOD MYYYYY OOOOOOOOH! It makes so much more sense than one would expect!
- Or possibly, Honekoneko is actually Bernkastel and Stocking is this game's equivalent to Erika.
- Maybe Erika's soul is inside of Honekoneko and so Bernkastel/Stocking carries her around.
- Speaking of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Stocking's Face–Heel Turn reminded me of Nia becoming the Anti-Spiral messenger. Perhaps Stocking was possibly programmed to make that Face–Heel Turn when a certain condition was met.
- Obviously, the new angel will probably be a reference to one of the Seven Deadly Sins and have the ability to transform clothing into a weapon. My bet goes for a girl with a Hair-Trigger Temper (Wrath) that can transform her T-Shirt in a gigantic hammer. Of course, her name will be T-Shirt.
- Or maybe is a male angel named Longcoat who can transform his longcoat into a Lance. he can be someone full of pride or sloth...or both.
- Or perhaps a male character named Cockring who fights with chakrams? Or another female character named Strap-on? Really, the possibilities in a show like this are essentially endless...
- Aren't all the characters named after undergarments, though? What were the hints that these characters would appear, or is this really just a "wild guess"?
- Since when were you under the impression that he hasn't already done this?
- I dunno, I never got any hints that Corset could split himself into two.
- Maybe he can tighten his corset so tight it actually tears his body in halves, and both halves can act independantly. Besides, he's shown to be a Blob Monster in the epilogue.
- I dunno, I never got any hints that Corset could split himself into two.
- Isn't their last name Daemon? (Thus, Daemon Sisters.) So wouldn't this be Jossed?
- "Daemon"?! What, do you play [[Warhammer 40000]]?
- Let's make it simpler: The only real difference between angels and demons is appearance...and even that is only sometimes.
- This really is a WILD mass guess page.
- Sort of confirmed: Stocking is a demon. Panty being one, on the other hand, hasn't been confirmed or even implied yet.
- Sounds like something Gainax would do.
- It looks to me more like some kind of fusion form of Scanty and Kneesocks. It has two horns on the side like Scanty and a horn in the front like Kneesocks.
Further, it is possible that Stocking knew that she would turn, which is why she seemed to be in a hurry to finish the job once she came back for the final battle (i.e., rapidly typing away on her cell phone ordering stuff on Garterbelt's credit card) - she wanted to both finish the job she sold her soul for as soon as possible and give Panty and the others as much help as possible to either turn her back or finish her off if she is beyond redemption, before her good side is no longer in a position to help. It may also explain why she neglects to tell anyone else about it.
This Troper will admit that this WMG is at least partly because he is too heartbroken to take the ending at face value.
Additonal edit from OP: perhaps the devil Stocking made a deal with was Corset (knowingly or unknowingly), which is how Corset was able to live to the post-credits backstab (or should that be headstab?). If Stocking didn't know it was Corset (or an agent of his) she was dealing with, Corset could have hidden in Brief's junk until Stocking was satisfied she got what she wanted out of the deal ("defeating" Corset and saving Panty). If Stocking did know, then perhaps all she wanted was to pull Panty out of immediate danger.
- This troper would like to say that this WMG is FANTASTIC. It also totally makes sense for how Stocking seemed so happy to return to help Panty in battle.
- This troper is amazed at how well thought-out this WMG is. Just watch it get Jossed...
- This is already spreading around, so why not put it here? Besides, putting Panty back together may seem easy enough, plus it'll let the show keep its usual pace rather than follow Brief and Chuck the whole way through.
- If this is foreshadowing, look at Scanty and Kneesocks. They're allied with Brief and Garterbelt?! And got new weapons?! Gainax, are you trolling us?
- If anything, the pic looks more like a big Ghostbusters reference, what with Brief's proton pack, four heroes standing side by side, and giant Ghost Stocking looking very much like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. Not to say it CAN'T be foreshadowing, but Stocking said she was a demon, not a ghost.
- Now a more detailed theory. First of all, look at scanty's appeareance. If we watch closely we will see that she, besides the chainsaw, has a new hair cut that resembles to Nia. Kneesocks seems to have something in her back. What is that? a bag? did she and her sister go in a travel to discover what to do? Maybe, in that travel is where Scanty obtain her new weapon. Now, if we watch to panty, in the middle between Stocking and Brief's team, we see that she isn't alone. Chuck and fastener The strongest charactersin the series are with her. Will she fight Corset and Ghostocking using them the same way Corset do with the demon sisters against Garterbelt? Will we see a Chuckstener against Ghostocking? Next point. Corset is in Ghostocking's head (now someones will say hey! it's true! why i didn't notice it earlier? right?) laughing (i think). seeing ghostocking's body in detail we can notice that her body is tied with corset's...whatever. her eyes are... crying? this reinforce my theory that Corcet will kill stocking. Maybe, near the end, Stocking will try to do a Heel–Face Turn, but Corset will not let her go and use her in his master plan. any question? i have a lot...
- Anyone else notice scanty has an ear piercing?
- I think that thing on Kneesocks's back is just a scarf.
- It's possible as the picture isn't enough clear.
- Does it mean Oten City is basically Karakura?
- Charity: He gave several million pounds to renovate the Church .(Granted, that was to buy Panty's panties - I mean, a sacred and holy relic, and the money was technically his Father's/the Casino's they had just bankrupted that episode, but still, details; He can't use Panty's weapon, or at least not for it's intended use, and doesn't blow this sort of money all the time.)
- Chastity: Breif is so hoplessly geeky that there is absolutley 0% chance of him getting laid, which is quite a feat, all things considered... untill Episode 12/13 (But since Breif truly loves Panty, this can't be considered Lust, and there isn't anything saying Love breaks Chasisty - Remember that Virginty =/= Chastity).
- Diligence: He's probably the only chracter in this show actually shown doing some work, or at least willing to actually try to do something. Sure, he fails miserably at almost everything he tries, and usually can't help with the task at hand (killing a ghost, although that might be because he doesn't have any equipment to do so), but he is most definatly more diligent than the two main characters.
- Humility: He was and still is bullied/universally hated so badly that this is the end result. I mean, I think he's overjoyyed just at having friends. He could have lived the good life with his Father, but instead lives in a dump with his grandad. Although that might not be his fault.
- Kindess: Oh come on. I don't even have to point out that this is basically his character incarnate. He's even nice to Chuck, and even to the main characters... even after they have been rather bitchy towards him.
- Patience: He hangs around with Panty and Stocking. This is almost a requirement for such a feat. Also still goes through with Public schooling, despite how horrible it is for him and the fact his Father is proabably rich enough to just get him in a private school/hometeach.
- Temperence: He's overcome everything in his incredibly poor life with massive ammounts of this. It even helps him in episode 13, where he literally forces himself to not succumb to Corset's wiles. And Corset is implied to be masterfull at the art of Bondage, or at least the first definition of bondage.
- Will be called Chuck & Brief with Garterbelt
- Become the main protagonist parodying shonen/western standards, using his cock as a BFS and by the time he collects all pieces of Panty,he will already go through a massive Character Development, pull his hair back permanently and become so GAR that revived Panty will not only enjoy his Gag Penis but also his spiral power sexual drive thus she will be able to ascend to the Heaven]]
- On that note, it's also possible that some angelic force prevented Panty's newly regrown hymen from getting ripped except for this "right reason".
- That's what i got out of it. She couldn't just have sex for the sake of sex, but if she liked that guy at all (or hell, even knew his name) than she would get her powes back. That or she got her powers back when all of creation is in danger, not just her.
- Still, I'm starting to wonder if this isn't so much Wild Mass Guessing as it is heavily implied.
- It takes place in the No More Heroes world. NMH is already a huge Mind Screw, so something like this wouldn't be too unusual.
Based on ep 9B, when Panty masquerades as Stocking, her breasts are MUCH bigger. In reality, Stockings breasts are small, but she doesn't want to feel inferior, so installs padding in her clothes, making this a case of A-Cup Angst
- I don't think so. Early on Panty griefs ever so fleetingly about how Stockings breasts are bigger than hers. And even earlier Stocking references how all she eats goes straight to ther breasts. But that last one could be denial too. Plus, wouldn't Panty have already ripped on Stocking about that little secret by now?
...was a nightmare that Brief was having.
Scanty and Kneesocks represent the strict, militaristic guidelines set down by society and government, i.e. the man. They seem superior at first compared to the anarchy of the Angels, but are quickly identified to be evil at heart, with not an iota of good will in their beings. The Ghosts are the pent up stress and rage the rules cause in people not allowed to express themselves. Corset, who strikes more than a passing resemblance to a puritainical leader (baring the BDSM), is the ultimate embodiement of that ideal. He gets his jollies constricting (without self contol) the will of others, he does everything for his own gain, and behind his tightly-kept exterior lies a monster of rage and pure evil. Just look at his name; a device used to bring order and conformity at the expense of freedom and overall health.
Garterbelt is an exemplary figure in that he learned the balance between internal and external anarchy. He lived a life of total anarchy, and thus was sinful. But then Heaven sent him here to live all of history, and then guide Panty and Stocking, because will have mastered the true teachings: anarchy on the outside, control on the inside. He is willing to go to just about as audatious means as the Anarchy Sisters to achieve his goals, but it is always for a good cause. Just like his hidden BDSM and his namesake, he is in control of his morals, but just as wild on the outside as we all want to be.
Heaven sent Panty and Stocking to earth for a whole slew of reasons. Fighting ghosts will blow off steam, living under Garterbelt will teach them to be moral while anarchistic, and them there will provide a method of disposing with Scanty, Kneesocks, and Corset while stopping their plans. Heaven just assumed that Panty and Stocking would work out in the end. Their meteoric rise to earthly fame will serve as an emotional model for others to follow, leading the world away from constrictive rules which serve to fester immorality and internal strife, and towards outward expression and freedom which frees the soul from stress and allows for morality to take control of humanity's motives and direct its actions.
Thusly, Studio Gainax is Heaven, because it wants exactly that, outward insanity and anarchy, but with good, pure, heroic intentions at heart. All of its animes push exactly that: rebellion, youth, heroism, and insanity. Gainax's show is to the viewers what Heaven's Panty and Stocking are Daten City.
- ...why did this need to be posted? It's stupidly obvious. I don't think Funimation has ever released something without a dub.
- Not every studio dubs the anime they license. Funimation has a small track record for un-dubbed shows they simply distribute online or on DVD with subtitles. Dubs are far more expensive to produce than subtitles, so it's usually less a possibility. Unless you work for them, who are you to know whether or not a studio dubs something? This is called Wild Mass Guessing for a reason.
- OP agrees with second Anon in that it is not "stupidly obvious". Again, why else 2012?
- Wait, what? You realize that first replier is saying that it's obvious that it'll be dubbed given a 2012 release and the fact that Funi picked it up at all, right? Why are you acting like 2012 contradicts an obvious upcoming dub?
- A particularly far-away release date doesn't tell you anything about how they'll distribute it. Unless we get actual press announcements that they will dub the show, we can't say.
- *sigh* What I, OP, said was: "I believe that the show will be dubbed, judging by the far-off release date. Discuss." Nothing more, nothing less.
- Confirmed.
On the subject of the show having a hidden message, I think the other one is "Bondage can be good OR bad". Garterbelt says you need to have self-control, while Corset goes up to eleven and actually harms himself while doing so. My money is on Stocking being good after all, considering she never does it to excess.
- Same hair and eye colors.
- Similarity of PSG logo to PPG.
- A background character in the zombie episode seemed to think there were three of them.
- Him looks to be fairly representative of demons in Panty And Stocking With Garterbelt
- Stocking eats so much sugar because she's partially made of sugar (along with spice and everything nice). This is also why Panty's favorite type of food is spicy.
- They're immediately annoyed about their lawyer being a smart monkey in a helmet. The lawyer was one of the mutated monkeys Mojo Jojo created in The Movie - the electric shock reactivated his Chemical X.
- And just for the heck of it, let's say that Queen Barby was Princess.
- And, due to both being red-heads, Brief is Blossom.
- Getting celebrities in other shows will prove tough considering they're in the middle of distant Texas!
- Though Funimation did get Scott McNeil to voice von Hohenheim in Fullmetal Alchemist (2003).
- Panty and Stocking Musou co-developed with Treasure. Do it now.
- Considering some creature like Fastener exists, Chuck could be the same race. Also, not counting the comical beatings Fastener goes through, it appears that Fastener doesn't have the same regenerative ability that Chuck has. For example, in final episode, Fastener cuts him to pieces and he regenerates instantly but when Chuck shoots a laser through Fastener, Fastener takes the remainder of the episode to regenerate.
- The ending credits imply that Chuck existed- while Panty and Stocking were both human girls. The first scenes show Panty and Stocking featured on something possibly movie-themed with Chuck dancing on the side. This could mean that Chuck was a huge fan of theirs, maybe even a Stalker with a Crush. In the next two scenes, they both fell off a cliff and a creature (that looks like Chuck's demonic form) kidnaps them...
Like a psycho-demon stalker, Chuck wants to really kill them (Possibly eat or 'trophy' them?) but his own stupidity jams the chain lowering the saw. The two escaped(?) into a desert and Chuck chases them only for all of them to die of dehydration while attacked by vultures. For killing Panty and Stocking, Chuck is now punished to become their immortal servant- similar to how Garterbelt was cursed with immortality. This also explains why Panty and Stocking seem to beat up Chuck all the time despite him being so helpful; He KILLED both of them! (Fridge Brilliance)
- But in the extra credits (Fallen Angel ED version 2) Panty and Stocking were both being Buried Alive in a grave after being hit by a train and shot... Just who did it? Chuck!
- Actually it's more like the ending was showing the multiple ways they tried to kill themselves to try and get into heaven, as Chuck is present during the two endings. This probably means its more likely that they were born as angels, rather than became angels.
- Also, the director has moved on to a new studio, and Studio Gainax has moved on to manga adaptations. Sorry, but this seals the fate of the show.
- hey now, hey now! don't dream it's over!
- Like in FLCL? I like that idea.
- I mean, that part is pretty obvious, if even downright confirmed by the simple fact that she's a goth. Her real hair could be something like a darker or lighter shade of blonde. She's probably using some Heaven-made product that makes her dye stay the same colour for an eternity or at least many, many years.
- Brief is the band's manager, and was included in the series when they hooked up, while Chuck is actually a human member of the band that doesn't want to be seen in public and is represented on-camera by a plushie that is alive in music videos and the toon.
- Scanty and Kneesocks are a lesser known duo that appears in the series to advertise themselves.
Panty, on the other hand, was forced to stay on Earth and to not have sex or she'd lose her powers (and Garterbelt forgot to tell her about the last part until too late), and gets back her powers when she manages to have sex with Brief (and apparently the best of her life, given her screams of pleasure) after a previous attempt was so painful she was left disgusted with sex.
What was the difference with the first attempt? As she had been told by the actress, she was doing what she really wanted.
- Panty wastes a shot from her sniper rifle to deflect Scanty's bullet from Brief. She clearly doesn't want him to die. But then they take him hostage and she doesn't have a clear shot.
- She then goads the demon sisters into thinking that she doesn't care about Brief. The demons are now thinking that the only reason why P & S won't attack is that they don't want harm to come to an innocent, and, being the good guys, there are rules in how heroes act in that situation.
- The demon sisters are clearly disoriented by the fact that two angels seemingly don't care about their hostage, and it's ruining their calculations, which are established to be based heavily on rules and defined and set patterns of behaviour. If Panty shows that she does care about Brief, the demons will know she is bluffing and will kill Brief (or at least be able to manipulate the situation according to plan and "how things should work", which P & S are not as good as predicting).
- Brief has been abused enough by Panty to be terrified that she's about to let Scanty kill him. This only adds to the verisimilitude of the deception and makes it seem to the Demons that they're facing a seemingly random violence generator they can't plan for and can't manipulate.
The result? Panty confuses the Demons enough so that insulting Scanty leads to the Demon trying to shoot her instead of Brief, and she can then set up the awesome physics trickshot for Stocking.
She then says sorry to Brief by offering to have sex with him.
He could easily be a human who sold his soul to Satan in exchange for incredible power and influence. Or, if we go even further to make him the polar opposite of Garterbelt... a formerly righteous man who somehow fell into the clutches of demons and was brainwashed and tortured until his mind snapped like a twig. In order to survive the pain, he had to embrace it fullheartedly, and that's how the monster known as Corset was born.
Ghosts in the past used to be so powerful Heaven's agents could not even kill them at all, because they could regenerate from any injury. To keep them from wreaking havoc, Heaven created sealing suits that would allow to neutralize the Ghosts' powers (aside from their immortality) without killing them. Every Zipper Creature technically has a One-Winged Angel form, but most of them cannot unzip themselves due to the seal. Fastener is an exception. Maybe the demons managed to break the seal on him, or perhaps it grew weak on its own or was defective in the first place.
Chuck, meanwhile, is an exception among ghost-kind - for reasons unknown, he is not hostile to angels and humans like most Ghosts are. It's not a long stretch, such Ghosts have been seen earlier (Husband Peter and Patrick Fagry to a lesser extent). Perhaps that's his nature, or maybe he just wants revenge against Fastener. So he has been allowed to access his Ghost form and assist the Angels. Perhaps Chuck is even a "penitent" Ghost, trying to find its way into Heaven by making up for some past sins (which would establish an interesting parallel between him and the other members of the main group). This would explain why he does not seem particularly annoyed by the abuse he suffers on a daily basis - that's actually part of his penance.
- Perhaps it's the long-lost Season 2.
- A new manga series.
- A video game of some sort (and not the social-media type).
- An animated short (theatrical or otherwise).
- An entire reboot.
- A second OVA.
- This may sound silly, but what if it was a trading card game?
- A movie!
- Possibly a sweepstakes?
- New merchandise, maybe...
- A (light novel?) novelization of the show.
- Actually, according to this, it's all three an exhibit, a cafe and a "new product"~ hmmmm....
The reason why Brief is named "Brief" but still a human is because he's hand-chosen and destined to become an angel like Panty and Stocking one day with his OWN transforming powers.
"Garterbelt! Again you've dialed D-CITY 2-900. Pantsu line! Copy that! Clear the city!
- They use weapons specifically designed to kill ghosts (which, just like the Sinners in Hazbin Hotel, are damned mortal souls) and had no idea that they could also be used to kill their kind, up until Stocking revealed herself a demon and chopped Panty to pieces with her katanas.
- They are shown to be just as bloodthirsty, chauvinistic and egotistical as the Exorcists.
- The Exorcists are "Winners" who were previously humans and earned a place in Paradise, something that applies to Panty and Stocking as well (at least, if the Ending Credits are accurate).
- Considering that Adam named Vaggie after "the greatest thing ever", it's possibly that he gave to other Exorcists extremely vulgar names. Panty and Stocking's names give that vibe (let's be real, could they get any more vulgar!?).
