"Fa Fa F*ck" (ファ・ファ・ファック, Fa Fa Fakku) is the eighteenth episode of New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT and the forty-sixth overall episode of the Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt series. It first aired on August 27, 2025.
Synopsis[]
Panty is barred from swearing, causing her to find a loophole.
Plot[]
Panty repeatedly cusses while walking around various places in Daten City, much to the annoyance of Stocking, Scanty, and Kneesocks.
Panty struck by lightning.
Later, at the church, Stocking, Scanty, Kneesocks, Garterbelt, and Brief tearfully watch a film titled Loser Hat when Panty approaches them and vulgarly mocks the film. Garterbelt finally snaps and he and the three girls berate Panty for her obscene language. Garterbelt calls the Heavenly Compliance Committee and orders them to punish Panty.
Suddenly, Panty is struck by a lightning bolt and is inserted with a heavenly mechanism which cuts off the tip of her tongue every time she swears. Garterbelt collects all of Panty's tongue tips and sends them to a sushi restaurant, where they are sold as sushi.
Later, Brief continues watching Loser Hat when Panty laments about her inability to swear. A ghostly spirit enters her nostrils, causing her to sing the word "fuck". Somehow, Panty's tongue remains intact, even after singing several swear words. Panty is initially reluctant to sing, but after receiving encouragement from Brief, Panty sings a song full of swear words, which catches the attention and praise of everyone in Daten City.
Backstage at a theater, Panty wallows in her success when a ghost reveals itself from the tip of Panty's tongue. The ghost, the actor who played the titular character named Loser Hat, states that he is the reason for Panty's singing voice, and that his dreams of going on Broadway have been fulfilled.
However, just as he is about to die, the crowd calls Panty for another musical number, and so he chooses to stay.
The four girls, Loser Hat, and Brief performing at the theater.
Panty and Loser Hat, the latter of whom is transformed into a human, perform a duet, as Stocking, Scanty, Kneesocks, and Brief sing background vocals.
The song causes everyone in the audience to make out and have sex with each other. Garterbelt is moved by their performance, but fears that Panty and Loser Hat's song may be causing too much sex. He again calls the Heavenly Compliance Committee, which slices off the tip of Panty's tongue and ascends Loser Hat's soul to Heaven.
Back at the church, Brief watches a movie. Panty thanks him for pushing her to sing and asks (in a singing tone) if he wants to have sex with her, only for her tongue tip to get sliced off again because the mechanism is now triggered by singing swear words instead of simply saying them, much to Panty's disappointment. As the episode concludes, Loser Hat on the DVD cover winks at the viewer as Panty's tongue is sliced yet again.
