Double Low-Riser is a colossal white, eight-wheeled truck owned by the angel brothers, Polyester and Polyurethane, which serves as their primary mode of transportation. It first appears in "The Brothers from Heaven".
Appearance[]
Towering in presence and measuring nearly twice the length of G-String, the truck is outfitted with hi-tech machinery, heavy weaponry, and a built-in lift.
It possesses autonomous driving capabilities and it's 520 horsepower engine is powerful enough to surpass See Through and G-String, even to a point of trampling both vehicles.
Though, capable of operating independently, the brothers usually drive the vehicle themselves. One of its most unique features is its dual steering system: the vehicle is equipped with two steering wheels, allowing it to split apart and function as two separate vehicles when required.
It also has the ability to fly and can tow a vehicle such as the brothers' white convertible.
Background[]
It was eventually used by the brothers in a duel between Panty, Stocking and See Through (driven by Chuck) in defeating as many Ghosts and collecting Heaven coins. They were later joined by Scanty, Kneesocks and G-String (driven by Fastener), which prompts the brothers to split the truck into two vehicles in order to compete with both vehicles.
The vehicle was eventually destroyed by the Anarchy and Daemon Sisters during the duel. However, it was later repaired in the following episode as it was seen towing their car and flying away.
During the episode "Heaven Wars Episode Three: Revenge Of The Bitch", Ramie transforms Double Low-Riser into his mecha limbs form by using the truck's sections as arms and legs with his two sons piloting an arm each. The truck was eventually destroyed by the efforts of both Chuck and Fastener.
Trivia[]
- Double Low-Riser is based off the Mitsubishi Fuso Super Great, while the grill is inspired by a Rolls-Royce vehicle, including its Spirit of Ecstasy ornament.
- The name of the truck may reference both low-rider car culture and the double-decker nature of transport trucks. More importantly, it is a reference to low-rising briefs that sits below the natural waistline, typically resting on the hips.
- It could also be referencing the titular mobile suit 00 Raiser from Mobile Suit Gundam 00.
- Scanty and Stocking made a reference to the Transformers franchise upon seeing the truck split into two vehicles.
