—Panty |
Panty Anarchy[2] (アナーキー・パンティ Anākī Panti, transliterated as "Anarchy Panty") is the titular main protagonist of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. She is the older of the Anarchy sisters.[3] Her name is derived from the object she is able to weaponize.
Appearance[]
Panty has pale skin and the typical "Spiky Hair" hairstyle. Her hair is long and blonde and her eyes are blue.
Outfit[]
Human form[]
Panty has fashionable clothing. Her panties in this form have a cyclamen color. She wears dark red heels with a belt on both, a dark red dress and dark red hoop earrings which matches the colour of her dress. She also wears a gold necklace and two gold bracelets on both of her wrists. In many episodes, she wears different clothes, but this one is considered to be her main.
In season 2, Panty's appearance is slightly altered. Her hair has a gradient which fades from yellow to red, and the color of her earrings have changed from red to blue.
Angel form[]
In angel form, Panty wears a Greek-like outfit. Her panties in this form are a fuchsia color. She wears heeled gladiator sandals based on Hermes' sandals, a loose white petticoat skirt with white ribbons and light red hearts on the sides and a white top with a light red heart on the front and with gold straps. Her accessories are a gold choker, two gold bracelets on both arms and wrists, and white one-finger gauntlets that reach her wrists.
Personality[]
Panty's defining trait is her promiscuousness. She is obsessed with sex and has it as much as she can, to the point where it is all that she can think about. Panty has relatively low standards for men, something that Stocking has mocked her for several times. In "Panty + Brief", Panty revealed that ever since she and Stocking came down to Earth, she planned to have sex with 1,000 men in Daten City to reach her "No Sex, No Life" goal before they returned to Heaven. She also has a sex diary in order to keep track of the amount of men that she's had sex with. In the Manga Strip series, her thirst for sex is pushed even further, as she is shown to have had sex with other women and even a horse. She is the embodiment of Lust, one of the seven deadly sins.
Due to her sexual appeal, Panty is quite popular amongst the general public. The episode "Sex and the Daten City" showcases her life as a celebrity, which she enjoys immensely. She owns an entire management team, plane, yacht, dog sled, and rocket ship. She was also shown doing photoshoots for several clothing brands. In the Manga Strip chapter, "Executive Motion", she also used her and Stocking's celebrity statuses to move to the First Class seats of the plane. Despite being very arrogant and self-centered, she and Stocking gave autographs to Terao for his daughter, Chi, in "Vomiting Point".
Panty is also quite shameless, not caring that people were able to see her panty-less in "Death Race 2010" and "Raiders of the Nasal Dark". She also carelessly showed her porno during the planned premiere of Sex and the Daten City, believing that it was just a regular movie. She only realized that what she did was wrong when Mick told her that it was a porno and it could potentially ruin her career. Panty has also done inappropriate things on live television. In "1 Angry Ghost", she pole-danced in front of an audience as millions watched Judgement Day, and in "Heroine Interview", she was supposed to throw the first pitch in a baseball game, but she instead stripped and shoved a baseball up her uterus.
While Panty constantly reprimands Stocking for her eating habits, Panty also has quite an appetite. In "Nothing to Room", Panty is seen gorging down a large amount of foods. Panty jogs to maintain her figure, although she is jealous that Stocking doesn't have to exercise to be slender. Panty likes spicy food in general, and mentions disliking sugar (although she has been seen eating sweets throughout the series, even eating Stocking's Jean-Paul Heaven pudding in "Catfight Club"). She also mentions that being hungry causes her to swear more often than usual. Her favorite snack is Death Babanero potato chips. Panty also loves drinking alcohol, as she always wakes up with a hangover.
Whenever Panty hunts Ghosts, she works in an incautious way. She often takes the more reckless route, using pure power to finish the job. However, this style of fighting has caused her to be wide open for attacks, including losing her panties in the heat of the moment and forcing her to improvise with either using normal weapons or other underwear.
Background[]
Panty was kicked out of Heaven for her immoral behavior, most likely due to her gluttonous tendencies towards sex and overall being a gross, nasty, and self-entitled person. In "The Turmoil of the Beehive", it was revealed that Panty went to a high school in Heaven. However, according to Stocking, she barely ever went to classes and instead had sex with several boys.
Abilities[]
To prepare for her battle, Panty removes her panties. Her ability is being able to transform her own panties into a pistol named Backlace, a spiritual gun which can harm ghosts. Backlace is unable to harm humans; however, it has not yet been confirmed if all heavenly weapons follow this rule.
Backlace seems capable of harming demons, angels, and anything spirit related, such as ghosts. Backlace, when combined with Stocking's panties or any other underwear, can become 'upgraded' versions of her usual gun. So far, two examples of an expanded Backlace are an assault rifle and a sniper rifle.
In the absence of Backlace, Panty can fight using normal guns. However, she usually avoids this because she does not like the smell of gunpowder, and the fact that normal guns don't do much damage.
Panty is also able to transform other people's underwear in guns, but the weapon design is limited due to the wearer's genitals, becoming curved, short or even bent. However, some, like Brief's, prove to be even more capable than Panty's own.
As seen in the episode "Trans-homers", Panty and Stocking have both shown the ability to nullify any effects given to their physical appearance by transforming into their angel form; however, it has only been only proven to nullify the effects of them becoming robots.
Panty is also shown to have enhanced vision in the episode "Bitch Girls", where she can see from the farm to Hell's Gate, where Brief is held captive by the demon sisters and Corset.
Relationships[]
Stocking[]
Stocking is Panty's younger twin sister.[4] Compared to Stocking, Panty is undoubtedly more reckless and braggadocious. Her careless behavior clashing with Stocking's calmer and quiet behavior often leads to them fighting. A major example of this occurs in "Catfight Club", when Panty ate Stocking's Jean-Paul Heaven without realizing just how badly Stocking wanted to eat it. This eventually leads to the sisters fighting each other all day, even while they were battling Bloody Hood & Gal Ghoul. However, despite their constant fights, Panty and Stocking are still very close with each other.
Garterbelt[]
Panty does not like Garterbelt because she believes that he is too lame and demanding. She often argues with and teases Garterbelt and in "Bitch Girls: 2 Bitch", she and Stocking didn't even seem to care when Garterbelt (temporarily) died. In "High School Nudical", she also wanted to ditch Garterbelt to live a normal girl's life.
Brief[]
Throughout most of the series, Panty loathed Brief and nicknamed him "Geek Boy" due to his awkward nature when he was around Panty. Prior to "Panty + Brief", the only times Panty was somewhat nice to Brief was in "Catfight Club", when she offered Brief a ride before being rejected by Garterbelt, and in "Les Diaboliques", when she complimented Brief and offered to have sex with him. However, Brief wanted to take their relationship slow, which led to Panty and Stocking ditching Brief.
In "Panty + Brief", Panty was searching for her one-thousandth man to have sex with. She constantly avoided Brief and instead went searching for other men. However, their relationship takes a dramatic turn when Brief announces his intentions to marry her. He then saved Panty from dying at the hands of Scanty and Kneesocks. Even still, Panty didn't want to have sex with Brief. After driving off, See Through broke down on the road. The two decide to hide in an abandoned house, where Panty grabs Brief's hand and, to the surprise of even herself, begins to have sex with him, although she couldn't complete the act because every time they tried to have sex, Panty ended up with pain. In "Bitch Girls", Panty and Brief try to have sex again; this time, Panty successfully orgasms. Also, she calls Brief by his actual name for the first time. However, in "Bitch Girls: 2 Bitch", when Brief falls from the sky, Panty decides not to help him and even makes fun of him. It is unknown if Panty still has romantic feelings for Brief or not.
