12!The Anarchy Sisters
13
14[[folder:Both]]
15
16Two angel sisters that got kicked out of Heaven for bad behavior and are now stuck in Daten City, a place between Heaven and Earth. To earn their way back in, they have to collect Heaven Coins, which are earned from defeating monsters called Ghosts.
17----
18* ActionGirl: When they find the motivation to get off their lazy butts and fight, they can take out Ghosts in a flash.
19* AngelicBeauty: Panty & Stocking are both angels and [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman are considered very attractive]] by almost every male character, and [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer even some female characters]], with some high school students believing them to be goddesses in the Japanese version or celebrities in the English dub. Panty takes advantage of this by being a LovableSexManiac, whose goal is to have sex with 1000 men.
20* CoolCar: See-Through, a modified bright pink Hummer H1 or Humvee with an open top and shorter glassless doors.
21* DoesNotLikeSpam: They hate each other's favorite foods; Panty doesn't like sweets, and Stocking hates spicy food.
22* EmbodimentOfVice: With Panty representing Lust, and Stocking representing Gluttony.
23* FallenAngel: While stuck in Daten City, their goal throughout the series is to get enough Heaven Coins to be able to return to Heaven.
24* FamilyEyeResemblance: About the only physical feature they have in common is their [[HeavenlyBlue blue eyes.]] Panty's are bright blue, while Stocking's are blue-green.
25* GratuitousEnglish: They use quite a bit of it for the original Japanese dub of the show, which shouldn't surprise anyone familiar with the works of Creator/StudioGainax. Even their ImageSong, "D-City Rock," is in perfectly fluent English.
26* HairContrastDuo: Panty's hair is blonde, waist-length, and spiky, while Stocking's hair is navy blue with a pink under layer, knee-length, and stick-straight. And they're opposites in just about every way possible.
27* HeavenSeeker: Their goal is to collect enough Heaven Coins from defeating Ghosts to earn their way back into Heaven.
28* TheHedonist: If it were up to them, they'd spend all their time on Earth banging hot guys (Panty) and devouring sweets (Stocking). They only fight and kill Ghosts because they need the coins to get back to Heaven.
29* HolyHalo: Sport pale blue ones in their angel forms. At the very end of the show's ending theme, they also take them off to salute the audience.
30* ImageSong:
31** "D-City Rock" for both, a wild, rockin' party anthem all about living it up and enjoying the adoration of the crowd.
32** "Juice" for Panty, a short BowChickaWowWow song that plays during fanservice-y moments or during her latest conquest. The song also appears in the soundtrack, but with the added sound effect of Panty herself having an orgasm.
33** "CHOCOLAT" for Stocking, a SurprisinglyGentleSong about falling in love for the first time.
34* {{Invisibility}}: Have both been shown to have the ability to turn invisible exactly once as shown in "Vomiting Point", revealing only their halos. Although that may have just been done for the art, meaning they may have not actually been invisible.
35* ItsAllAboutMe: Both girls are extremely self-centered and would much rather be doing their own thing than fighting Ghosts. Even when doing good, they nearly always have a selfish motivation in mind.
36* KickedOutOfHeaven: For having way too much sex (Panty) and eating way too many sweets (Stocking).
37* MagicalGirlWarrior: Very, very loosely. They have a TransformationSequence, fight evil every episode, and collect {{MacGuffin}}s, but they're [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld much older than the usual]], fight with traditional weapons rather than any kind of magic ( although their weapons are magical in nature) are ridiculously self-centered (as opposed to the all-loving selflessness of a "classic" magical girl), and would rather spend time indulging in hedonistic pleasures than fighting. Oh, and their TeamPet (who would be a MentorMascot in any other series) is a useless little glutton who mostly exists to serve as the cast's punching bag.
38* MoneyDumb: The plot of "The Stripping" is kicked off by Garterbelt yelling at the girls for spending way too much money on dumb stuff and forcing them to go out and get jobs.
39* MsFanservice: Just look at their transformation sequence!!! And that is only in the first episode.
40* NamedWeapons: Panty's gun is named Backlace/[[SpellMyNameWithAnS Backless]], while Stocking's katanas are named Stripes I and II.
41* ReallyGetsAround: Mostly Panty, but both girls have very active sex lives.
42* RedOniBlueOni: Panty is foul-mouthed and aggressive, Stocking is level-headed and snarky.
43* SchoolIdol: In "Turmoil of the Beehive," they almost immediately become the most popular girls in Daten City High School, much to the consternation of Queen Barby, the local AlphaBitch and VillainOfTheWeek.
44* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: In "The Stripping," both girls are completely fine with stripping off all their clothes to sell to the Hellton Casino patrons so they can continue gambling.
45* SingleIssueWonk: The opening sequence shows X-rays of the girls' brains. Panty's brain is filled with "sex, male, sex, men, sex, sex, sex" and Stocking's brain is filled with "sweets, sweets, sweets, goth, sweets."
46* SirSwearsALot: While Panty swears more than Stocking, both of them swear a lot and Stocking still swears the second most in the show.
47* SiblingTeam: They're two angel sisters who fight Ghosts together.
48* TheyCallHimSword: Both are named after their preferred weapons.
49* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Panty loves spicy food, while Stocking loves every kind of sweet food there is.
50* VagueAge: It's never stated how old Panty and Stocking are; while they appear to be in their late teens and can pass off as high school students, an offhand comment by Stocking in "Catfight Club" implies that she and Panty are [[Really700YearsOld over 500 years old]]. What is known is that Panty's the older sister and Stocking being the younger, but how much older or younger isn't explained either.
51* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: Panty's the one who's out to get all the boys, but both girls are considered drop-dead gorgeous in-universe. When they make their entrance into Daten City High in "Turmoil of the Beehive," the entire student body is immediately stunned, with one boy exclaiming "Rich girls!" and another saying "Goddesses!" The English dub has the students thinking they're celebrities instead.

56[[quoteright:204:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/panty_anarchy.png]]
57->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ArisaOgasawara (Japanese), Creator/JamieMarchi (English)\
58''"I'm back from rockin' out with my cock out! Get this shit: some dude just came up to me and thrust his package in my face!"''
59
60The blonde angel. Constantly has sex on her mind and will screw just about any man she takes a fancy to. Also very rude to a fault. Can transform her (as well as anyone else's) panties into a gun.
61----
62* ActionGirl: Panty knows how to throw down in a fight, as is evidenced by how she can go toe-to-toe with ghosts, demons, and just about everything else. However, she's nowhere near as good solo as she is when she has backup, due to being UnskilledButStrong.
63* AllWomenAreLustful: ''Definitely.'' Even her X-ray in the opening sequence shows that all that seems to be in her head is "Sex, male, sex, men, sex, sex, sex."
64-->'''Panty''': I don't know whether I'm feeling sluggish because I'm having too much sex or I can't think of anything other than sex because I'm too sluggish.
65* AnimeHair: {{Lampshade|Hanging}} in "1 Angry Ghost" when the [[ItMakesSenseInContext monkey lawyer]] mistakes her bangs for a bunch of bananas.
66* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:In the series finale, Stocking slices her entire body into 666 pieces to use as a trail of bread crumbs for Brief to follow her and Corset to the destination of their next evil plan. Brief must apparently collect all pieces if he is to have any chance of saving her]].
67* AntiHero: NominalHero, played for laughs.
68* AttentionWhore: She loves the attention given to her from the masses of Daten City. Aside from [[ExtremeOmnisexual the obvious]], being famous is her biggest priority.
69* BadassAdorable: She saves the world on a regular basis but is also very likeable and always has a funny line of dialog.
70* BadassBiker: She can drive a motorcycle like a pro.
71* BadassBoast: Does a pretty character-defining one in the final episode.
72--> '''Panty''': You're right, I'm just a little bitch and I'm proud of it. But guess what, douchebag? That's not the point. News flash, I don't need special fucking powers to beat the shit out of you. You know why? Because I'm a bitch who doesn't give a fuck. You and your half-dead face can preach about hymens and demons and other weird words that supposedly mean shit, but that doesn't change the fact that if any of you fuckers get in my way, I'm gonna kick some twisted-ass ass. You hear me dick? I'm a hot bitch angel named Panty. And no matter what anyone says, I DO WHAT I FUCKING WANT!
73* BigBrotherInstinct: The source of many [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther heartwarming moments with Stocking]].
74* BigEater: While not as much as her gluttonous sister but Panty herself is shown to have an appetite. In the first episode (English Dub) she lets out a belch after eating curry. In ''Fight Club'', Stocking brings up her personal eating habits as she's seen gathering a lot of food from a refrigerator. ''Nothing to Room'' shows that she can indeed bite off ''a lot more'' than she can chew as she's devoured every single thing that she's ordered along with Stocking.
75* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler: In "Panty + Brief", only Stocking is allowed to return to heaven and Panty has to start her Ghost hunting duties over, alone this time. Garterbelt interferes with her attempts to have sex, and she starts to lose her powers because of it. She gets into a fight with her arch rivals who kick her butt, and she has to be rescued by the universe's ButtMonkey, Brief, of all people. She ends up trying to have sex with him, but her lost powers also come with a regenerated hymen; she can't stand the pain and has to give up. The episode ends with her not only unable to have sex, but also completely powerless to stop the only person who still cares about her from being abducted in front of her.]] That was... unexpected.
76* ByronicHeroine: Lustful, gluttonous, beautiful, and charismatic, but also ruthless, rebellious, and self-serving, not to mention in exile. More comical than the typical kind, but fits the mold nonetheless.
77* CrystalSpiresAndTogas: Her transformation sequence (although in this case the spire is a [[YouCanLeaveYourHatOn pole]] of [[{{Stripperiffic}} dancing]]).
78* CombatStilettos: Her default outfit sports red high heels, and she wears gold high-heeled sandals when transformed.
79* CosmicPlaything: As much as almost anyone else in the series. [[spoiler: After losing angelhood, multiplied thousandfold.]]
80* DeadpanSnarker: ''Especially'' in the dub, which was written up to have her be as tonally dry and biting as possible to contrast characters like Brief and his usual freaking out. It's pretty clear that Jamie Marchi is having a blast. That said, the original definitely doesn't slouch in the snark either, but the tone is much less deadpan.
81* DeathByAThousandCuts: [[spoiler:Literally (though more like [[NumberOfTheBeast six hundred sixty-six]]), by [[MindControl Stocking]].]]
82* DivineDate: Mortal, divine, doesn't matter--Panty will screw anything with a pulse and a penis. She plans to have sex with 1,000 men in Daten City before returning to Heaven [[spoiler:and chooses Brief as her last one]].
83* DoesntLikeGuns: The reason why she prefers Backlace (her panty pistols) over actual guns? Panty thinks gunpowder smells like "old hack-stank."
84* DoesNotLikeSpam: She hates sweets, but that doesn't stop her from eating Stocking's favorite pudding just to mess with her.
85* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Panty can transform panties or underwear into guns. For men's underwear, the size and type of weapon ultimately depends on the wearer's [[GagPenis girth]]. [[TeenyWeenie Or lack thereof]].
86* DramaticGunCock: Complete with WrittenSoundEffect.
87* EmbodimentOfVice: Panty represents the sin of Gluttony.
88* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Men and women alike nosebleed at the sight of her naked bottom.
89* EveryoneLovesBlondes: About 90% of the sex on the show is because of her, at least on-screen.
90* ExtremeOmnisexual: Only applies to men. She's even bedded a male robot when she briefly transforms into one herself. In the manga, however, she certainly looks excited when she gets the chance to feel up Scanty and stick her hand down her panties. In another (Likely non-canon) chapter, she has sex with a Native American princess, [[SiblingIncest Stocking]], ''[[BestialityIsDepraved and a horse]].'' She's also had sex [[ILoveTheDead with a corpse of a plane pilot]] to control its nervous system to steer the plane.
91* FallenAngel: In exile from Heaven because of her vices, though she's still doing the Lord's work by taking on evil and destroying Ghosts. Of course, doing so is her only chance of actually ''getting back'' into Heaven.
92* FriendToAllChildren: If "Sex and the Daten City" is to be implied, then she '''might''' be surprisingly good with kids as she was willing to take several photos with them and looks pretty happy doing so. Then again, she might've have taken those pics simply for the publicity.
93* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Sanguine.
94* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Is constantly fighting with Stocking, who is her utter opposite in terms of their personalities.
95* TheGunslinger: She uses firearms.
96** GunsAkimbo: Able to do so using Stocking's panties and can [[BifurcatedWeapon combine them together to make a machine gun or sniper rifle]].
97** With BottomlessMagazines. [[spoiler: Until she becomes human.]]
98* GoodBadGirl: Takes this trope to its logical extreme by being a LovableSexManiac who is also an angel from heaven.
99* GodivaHair: Panty makes use of this trope in "Catfight Club", when she brings out her gun ''while not wearing any other lower garments''. And she takes it to even sillier extremes during "High School Nudical", when her panties get stolen and she spends the whole fight scene jumping around in only a bra.
100* GoingCommando: A given, considering her weapon is her panties and she's not carrying a spare pair.
101%%* GoldAndWhiteAreDivine: Her angel outfit.
102* GunFu: Most epically against Scanty in "Les Diaboliques"
103%%* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Subverted.
104* HeroicBSOD: She falls into despair after [[spoiler: she [[BroughtDownToNormal fully becomes human]], which causes her to lose her angelic powers and her hymen to regenerate, which prevents her from fighting and restores her to a virgin state, respectively]]. To sum up, never before has the sight of a hot naked chick with a pair of panties hanging off her finger looked so [[http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/9316/ep1208.png depressing]].
105* HiddenDepths: Genuinely cares a great deal for her sister.
106* HotBlooded: Not to the point of Garterbelt, but she's definitely quite enthusiastic.
107* IdiotHair: Her hair has a prominent ''ahoge'', to the point where it's been compared to bananas at one point. She's also a bit of a moron.
108* ImageSong: "Juice". A short BowChickaWowWow song every single time in the series during particularly fanservice-y moments. The song also appears in the soundtrack, but with the added sound effect of [[TheImmodestOrgasm Panty herself having an orgasm]]. ItMakesSenseInContext.
109* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: Stocking did this to her right before chopping her to pieces. And it was right through the head, too!]]
110* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's crass, rude and selfish, but certain episodes show she ''does'' care, such as vehemently trying to get Stocking away from a ghost who she thought was just using her, or being nicer to Brief after getting her powers back.
111* KnightTemplarBigBrother: Plays the role in "Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City", where she tries to break up Stocking's relationship because the person she's dating is a Ghost.
112%%* TheLadette: Her lady-like look may be deceiving.
113* LadyInRed: Favors a slinky red MiniDressOfPower to play up her love of adoration and sex.
114* LadySwearsALot: Swears [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQmxKZFbbEA the most out of the entire cast]], not to mention dropping '''''over 250 variations of the word [[ClusterFBomb "fuck"]]''''' throughout the entire series.
115* LightIsNotGood: Generally portrayed as being less heroic than [[DarkIsNotEvil Stocking]].
116* LoveRealization: In "Panty + Brief", Panty, of all people, falls for [[spoiler: Brief (again, of all people) once she realizes that he and a sexy {{Bishounen}} she met earlier are one and the same. Subverted in "Bitch Girls", where she continues to treat Brief as she always has after having sex with him, but she stops calling him "Geek Boy" and [[SayMyName uses his real name instead]].]]
117* LovableSexManiac:
118** Even her X-ray in the opening sequence shows that all that seems to be in her head is "Sex, male, sex, men, sex, sex, sex."
119-->'''Panty''': I don't know whether I'm feeling sluggish because I'm having too much sex or I can't think of anything other than sex because I'm too sluggish.
120** It's revealed in "Panty + Brief" that she plans to have sex with one thousand men before returning to Heaven. [[spoiler: Sadly, God doesn't look kindly on this sort of behavior, which prevents her from returning together with Stocking.]]
121* ModestyBedsheet: Her usual outfit whenever Garterbelt is giving the morning report.
122* MorphWeapon: Transforms panties to get her gun.
123* MsFanservice: Manages to pull this off despite the highly stylized art style. And when she's realistically drawn, she's made to look especially attractive.
124* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: During Stocking's romance with a ghost, Panty drops her act and tries her hardest to get Stocking to break up with the ghost. When she has an honest conversation with Stocking she admits that finding true love is right, but as an angel of heaven she cannot do so with a ghost. Stocking reacts extremely angry to this.
125* PetitePride: She's flatter than Stocking, but definitely thinks her body is better, and boasts that her breasts are more sensitive than hers. [[SexGoddess It definitely doesn't slow her down in any way.]]
126* PhraseCatcher: Whenever she has sex with a guy (and this happens a lot), he'll say "you're tighter than I thought". She wonders why everybody is always saying this, but won't ever find an answer.
127* ThePornomancer: She constantly finds (relatively) attractive men who are willing to have one-night stands with her.
128* TheProtagonist: While she and Stocking share the same amount of screentime for the first eleven episodes, Panty becomes this after [[spoiler:Stocking goes to heaven and she's forced to defend herself]].
129* PunchClockHero: If she had her way, she'd be spending all her time lazing around and fucking people. The only times she actually goes out and does hero work is when Garterbelt yells at her to do it or the villains come to ''her''.
130* ReallyGetsAround: ''A lot''. In fact, as previously mentioned, her goal was to get laid by one thousand men -- a goal she eventually reaches after hitting nine hundred and ninety-nine, and then deciding on [[spoiler:Brief]] as her final partner.
131%%* RedOni: To Stocking's blue.
132* SevenDeadlySins: She's often considered the personification of Gluttony.
133* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: She's done a lap dance ''on television'' in "1 Angry Ghost", and that's just the beginning.
134* ShootTheBullet: Or a [[MoreDakka whole salvo]] of them, cuz [[RuleOfCool why not]].
135* SleepsWithEveryoneButYou: In regards to Brief. To be fair, she did ask Brief to sleep with her at the end of "Les Diaboliques", but he thought that was a little too soon. [[spoiler:She later falls for him in "Panty + Brief" and decides to have sex with him again; unfortunately, this is around the same time she loses her powers as an angel and regains her hymen, restoring her to a virgin state. They finally do have sex in "Bitch Girls", which breaks her hymen and restores her powers.]]
136* SociopathicHero: The only reason she fights ghosts is so she can get back into heaven. Everyone else, even her sister comes second to her and her selfish actions.
137* STDImmunity: She has lots of sex with lots of guys. Although she doesn't seem to know what the word "condom" means, she never catches an STD (maybe because she's an angel?)
138* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Tomboy to Stocking's Girly Girl.
139* TrademarkFavoriteFood: She loves anything spicy. Also a bit of a StealthPun: a flirtatious, attractive, sexually forthright woman is sometimes referred to as being "spicy."
140* TrashOfTheTitans: Episode 3 shows that her room is a complete mess, while Stocking's room is neat and clean.
141* TraumaCongaLine: In "Bitch Girls" opens with [[spoiler:Garterbelt throwing Panty out of her home because she's been BroughtDownToNormal (i.e., she's just a normal bitch instead of a bitchy angel), forcing her to walk through the rain and get bombarded by bird poop, a baseball, an open can of paint, a flower pot, a hammer, a pan, and a 16-ton weight before getting struck by lightning, drenched by heavier rain, splashed by a passing car, and knocked into a dumpster by an ambulance where a bunch of cats, dogs, and people gather and start having sex all around her until she finally vomits and stumbles into an open sewer drain]]. All in that order before the opening credits in the span of ''one minute''! [[spoiler:It eventually turns out this was all part of Garterbelt's plan to give her her HeroricSecondWind, after he caused her powers to shut off by not allowing her to have sex.]]
142* UngratefulBitch: After Stocking helps her to destroy every copy of her porno in "Sex and the Daten City", Panty decides to remove every bit of footage with Stocking in their movie, [[KickTheDog for no real reason]].
143* UnskilledButStrong: Is noted to focus more on strength than Stocking.
144%%* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist
145* VirginPower: [[spoiler:Inverted, regaining her virginity caused her to lose her powers.]]
146* WindsOfDestinyChange: Implied in "The Stripping" to have the power of good luck.
147* WholeCostumeReference: Her school outfit is the same as [[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Mari Illustrious Makinami's]].

153''"Yummy! I want to make dessert babies with you! You were so worth the two hour wait, my dear Swiss roll! I would rub you all over my body if it weren’t for the yeast. I swear I would!"''
154
155The [[ElegantGothicLolita goth-lolita]] angel. Absolutely loves sweets and can usually be seen eating a variety of them in the episodes. Often the voice of reason between the pair, having to keep Panty on task (sometimes the other way round). Can turn her stockings into katanas.
156----
157* ActionGirl: She's got magical stocking swords and she knows how to use them.
158* AffectionateNickname: Panty occasionally calls her "Sto-chan" in the original Japanese.
159* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: [[spoiler:Averted; she's the only demon who has a normal skin color]].
160* AmbiguouslyEvil: [[spoiler:Is she really a demon-like she claimed in the last episode or was she being [[MindControlEyes mind-controlled?]] OR was that even ''actually'' her?]]
161* AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler: Is she REALLY a demon, or has she been brainwashed or replaced?]]
162* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Well, at least Panty certainly seems to think so.
163%%* AntiHero: PragmaticHero or UnscrupulousHero.
164* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler:She ascends back to Heaven shortly before the end of the series, but then comes back for the final battle.]]
165* BadassAdorable: She routinely slaughters evil spirits all the while looking super cute.
166* BerserkButton: Stealing her treasured pudding and sweets. Or screwing with her ability to eat all she wants without consequence. Or calling her "fleshy". Or cutting her hair.
167* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:Her entrance in "Bitch Girls".]]
168* BigEater: She claims that all the fat goes to her boobs.
169* BlueOni: She is the more composed, more responsible, less impulsive member of the duo, though that's not saying much.
170* BondageIsBad: PlayedWith, since she has an obvious thing for bondage despite being as close to "good" as this show has. If [[spoiler:the whole "I'm a demon" thing is true, however, [[DoubleSubverted then it's played straight]]. [[FridgeBrilliance In fact, it might have been hinting her true allegiance all along]].]]
171* BoyMeetsGhoul: In "Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City", she falls in love with a Ghost.
172* BunnyEarsLawyer: She is a very strange angel to say the least, but she can certainly kick Ghost ass like nobody's business.
173* BuxomBeautyStandard: Her boobs are huge compared to Panty's and she [[BigBreastPride takes pride in them]].
174* ByronicHeroine: Complete with [[spoiler:demonic imagery]].
175* CainAndAbel: [[spoiler:The Cain to Panty's Abel in the last episode, when she slices the former to pieces.]]
176* CharacterDevelopment: By the time the finale rolls around, she's become more responsible (or at the very least indifferent) at ghost-hunting, which leads to [[spoiler:her being PutOnABus]].
177* CharacterizationMarchesOn: In "Excretion Without Honor and Humanity", she's seen eating Garter's curry. Come "Catfight Club", and it's revealed she hates spicy food.
178* ChurchMilitant: A given for a warrior Angel.
179* ColorCodedEyes: Has green eyes. Appropriate for a supernatural entity.
180* CombatStilettos: As part of her angel outfit.
181* CovertPervert: If, by "covert", you mean "makes a bare-minimum effort to at least ''pretend'' to hide it", then sure.
182* CuteAndPsycho: Is more adorable than her sister, but she also has a bondage fetish [[spoiler:and has no qualms about killing Panty]].
183* CutenessProximity: She gushes over the Ghosts in "Pulp Addiction".
184* DarkIsNotEvil: Despite her gothic motif, she's nicer and more level-headed than Panty. [[spoiler:[[DarkIsEvil Subverted in the end]].]]
185* DeadpanSnarker: She's not quite as deadpan in Japanese as she is in the English dub, but she's ''very'' snarky in both versions.
186* DeusExitMachina: [[spoiler:A quite literal one in "Panty + Brief". She's the more responsible one, so without her, Panty has to [[CharacterDevelopment develop some character]]. Fast]].
187* {{Deuteragonist}}: Compared to Panty, Stocking doesn't have a lot of screen time. Made rather obvious when [[spoiler:she's PutOnABus]].
188* DietEpisode: She goes on a diet in "The Diet Syndrome", but can't seem to lose a single pound despite running for miles every day and giving up her precious sweets. This turns out to be the result of a Ghost's mischief.
189* DualWielding: She prefers to fight left-handed, but when push comes to shove, well... she's got two stockings, doesn't she?
190* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: Earlier on, the design on the hilt of her swords were hearts, but then they changed into diamonds. The reason for this is unknown.
191* ElegantGothicLolita: Complete with a Gothic Lolita-themed bedroom and a fondness for sugary treats. To be precise, whilst Stocking's choice of clothing is usually within Gothic Lolita territory, she has been known to appear in lighter [[https://lolitafashion.fandom.com/wiki/Sweet_Lolita Sweet Lolita]] getups in "Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City" and a [[http://lolitafashion.wikia.com/wiki/Sailor_Lolita Sailor Lolita]] outfit in "Catfight Club".
192* EmbodimentOfVice: Stocking represents the sin of Sloth.
193* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Implied in "High School Nudical", and the manga confirms it.
194* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler: She dices Panty to pieces and reveals she was a demon all along. [[MindControlEyes Or is she?]]]]
195* FaceOfAnAngelMindOfADemon: Downplayed in that she looks like a cute lolita, but has an extremely snarky personality. [[spoiler:Also a literal example, as the GainaxEnding reveals]].
196* FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:If the GainaxEnding is to be believed, she turns on Panty and Garterbelt]].
197* FallenAngel: Shares this with Panty.
198* FashionableAsymmetry: Her kitty plushie Honekoneko has purple fur on one half of its body and a skeletal fur pattern on the other.
199* {{Foreshadowing}}: There are '''several''' moments that hint at [[spoiler:her being a demon]]:
200** Her angel outfit [[spoiler:sports a corset. Guess what's the BigBad's name?]]
201** She has a bondage fetish[[spoiler:, which is another thing she has in common with Corset]].
202** She primarily fights left-handed, [[spoiler:which is ASinisterClue]].
203** In "Transhomers", [[spoiler:She plays the Megatron {{Expy}}]].
204** "Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City" has a ''lot'' of foreshadowing:
205*** The most blatant is [[spoiler:she falls in love with a Ghost. Ghosts have been shown on occasion to work for Demons.]]
206*** She says to her Ghost boyfriend [[spoiler:she'll give up her Angel powers and go to Hell if it means they can stay together]].
207*** Her ImageSong is a love song[[spoiler:, much like Scanty and Kneesocks' and Corset's themes]].
208*** She says to Panty that she won't hesitate to fight her should Panty get in the way of her relationship. [[spoiler:Guess who's the one to kill Panty?]]
209*** Despite all this evidence of her [[spoiler: always being a demon]], there is some foreshadowing that ''refutes'' that theory.
210** When Stocking says [[spoiler: she's always been a demon]], there is [[spoiler: [[MindControlEyes something weird with her eyes]] to suggest possible brainwashing]]. Her speaking [[spoiler:in CreepyMonotone only supports this idea more]].
211** Gothic fashion is often associated with [[spoiler: Satanic imagery]].
212* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Melancholic.
213* FreakyIsCool: Given that she [[LoveAtFirstSight fell in love]] with an absolutely repulsive Ghost in "Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City", it also seems that NauseaFuel is her fetish.
214* GirlsLoveChocolate: And every other kind of sweet, too. She even has an ImageSong titled "CHOCOLAT".
215* GirlsLoveStuffedAnimals: Carries around a cat plushie named Honekoneko (literally "Bone Kitty"), which is prone to [[AnimateInanimateObject changing its facial expression (usually mimicking Stocking's) and even licking things]], as well as mimicking Stocking's physical condition, such being fat when Stocking is fat in "The Diet Syndrome".
216* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: Is constantly fighting with Panty, who is her utter opposite in terms of their personalities.
217* GothGirlsKnowMagic: PlayedWith. She dresses in ElegantGothicLolita style and displays goth tendencies, and as an angel she is inherently magical, she is every bit a MagicalGirlWarrior who wields enchanted swords in battle, rather than the expected sorcery.
218* HeavenlyBlue: Her angel form outfit is primarily white and light blue.
219* HelloSailor: In "Cat Fight Club" she wears a sailor uniform, based on sailor lolita fashion.
220* HyperactiveMetabolism: She notably eats sweets like a champion, but her frame remains petite (with all of the fat she does retain going straight to her breasts and nowhere else). The one episode where she subverts this is a clue that something is very wrong with the sweets she's been eating.
221* {{Hypocrite}}: Has a habit of mocking anyone with less than normal sexual habits. For example, in their very first meeting, she calls the demon sisters "bondage-loving skanks". She seems to dig bondage and dated a repulsive-looking Ghost, [[spoiler:which gives the GainaxEnding ''some'' [[FridgeBrilliance credibility]]]].
222* ImageSong: "CHOCOLAT". Apparently Gainax didn't let Creator/MariyaIse's [[Anime/YesPrettyCure5 singing talent]] go unused.
223* ImAHumanitarian: The Sanitary Box shorts reveals she eats Prickles, a chip made of [[CrossesTheLineTwice babies']] [[{{Squick}} foreskins.]]
224* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Despite her generally unpleasant nature, Stocking is an overall nicer person than Panty. She even decides to [[spoiler:leave Heaven to help her fight Corset]]. [[spoiler:[[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk And then she kills her and reveals she was a bad guy the whole time]]]].
225* KatanasAreJustBetter: And [[DualWielding two]] katanas are ''even'' better.
226* LesserOfTwoEvils: [[spoiler:In "Panty + Brief", Heaven allows Stocking but not Panty to return, apparently considering her sloth less heinous than Panty's constant sexcapades. The fact that Panty was planning to have sex with ''1,000'' different men before returning to Heaven might have had something to do with that.]]
227* LongHairIsFeminine: Stocking's hair is so long that it goes down to her knees.
228* LostFoodGrievance: ''Do not'' touch her precious sweets if you know what's good for you. Episode 3 begins with Stocking yelling at Panty for eating her favorite pudding that came down from Heaven and had a 500-year waiting list.
229* MatureYoungerSibling: She is much more sensible than Panty and unlike her she takes the job more seriously (usually).
230* MasterSwordswoman: Calling her good with a sword would be the understatement of the century. She routinely carves Ghosts into a million pieces in the blink of an eye, masters the dreaded SpinAttack and can easily fire off {{Sword Beam}}s.
231* MeaningfulName: Her name is her preferred weapon.
232* MorphWeapon: She transforms stockings to get her katanas.
233* MsFanservice: In a different way from Panty, but her cuteness and ElegantGothicLolita attire have their own appeal. There is also the fact that she is much more buxom than Panty, which tends to get a lot of attention from the camera and a lot of men.
234* MysteriousPurple: Despite there being small hints littered throughout the series, the GainaxEnding of [[spoiler:Stocking dicing Panty to bits and revealing that she's actually a demon makes it unclear whether or not she was EvilAllAlong, did a FaceHeelTurn, or is just BrainwashedAndCrazy given her unusual eyes at the time, planting her firmly in AmbiguousEvil territory. Her ElegantGothicLolita aesthetic features black and purple striped tights and her hair is dark purple. This not only contrasts her against actual angel Panty's [[LightFeminineDarkFeminine lighter and brighter coloring]], but it also differentiates her from all other demons in the work, who all have red skin, pale hair, and wear beige mini skirt suits.]]
235* MundaneUtility: One episode has her using her stocking-katana to slice a sandwich.
236* NamedWeapons: Her stocking swords, Stripes I and II.
237* NeverBareheaded: Is almost never seen without a blue bow in her hair.
238* NeverGetsFat: It is revealed that all the fat Stocking gets from her desserts and candy go straight to her breasts and nothing else.
239* NightmareFetishist: She slowly seems to be turning into this.
240* NoAccountingForTaste: In "Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City" she falls in love with a ghost who is the most absolutely disgusting being around. [[spoiler:[[RunningGag Totally not foreshadowing]]]].
241* OfCorsetsSexy: Her angel outfit sports one. [[spoiler:[[RuleOfThree Totally not foreshadowing]]]].
242* OrgasmicallyDelicious: She enjoys sweets a bit too much.
243* PunchClockHero: Similarly to Panty, she only exorcises Ghosts because she's been banished from Heaven and wants to come back there. At least she takes her job '''slightly''' more seriously than Panty.
244* PurpleIsPowerful: Most of her hair is purple and she is an extremely skilled katana-wielding warrior angel
245* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: In "Panty + Brief", she gets sent back to Heaven without Panty. To add insult to injury, Stocking does not physically appear in that episode's 5-second-long OP.]]
246** TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:In "Bitch Girls".]]
247%% * RavenHairIvorySkin: Doesn't have the same sphere of influence as her sister, but still beautiful regardless.
248* SevenDeadlySins: Similar to her sister, she's often considered the personification of Sloth.
249* SignatureHeadgear: Stocking always wears a blue bow in her hair.
250* SuperSpeed: She can spin her swords fast enough to deflect Scanty's bullets with her AbsurdlySharpBlade.
251* SweetTooth: She probably has the biggest one in all of anime. Her X-ray sequence in the intro shows what's in her mind: "[[BillBillJunkBill Sweets, sweets, sweets, goth, sweets]]".
252** "Sex and the Daten City" shows her maintaining a dessert ReviewBlog.
253** "The Diet Syndrome"'s MonsterOfTheWeek makes unnaturally fattening sweets, via a virus. To say this impacts Stocking's waist line is an understatement.
254* SwordBeam: Can unleash multiple beams with a single slash of her Stripes. Upon closer inspection, those slashes are actually the ''stripes of her stockings'', as they leave the katana blank after use for a short while.
255* TallDarkAndSnarky: Dark blue hair and extremely snarky, so she has two out of three down.
256* TaremeEyes: Though it seems that she only has them to contrast her with Panty; otherwise, she acts like someone with TsurimeEyes.
257* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The Girly Girl to Panty's Tomboy.
258* TragicKeepsake: The poop engagement ring she got from the ghost in "Ghost: The Phantom of Danten City" [[spoiler: right before he gets sent to Heaven]].
259* TooKinkyToTorture: Stocking is less sex-obsessed than her sister Panty, but still pretty kinky.
260** In "Excretion Without Honor and Humanity", Garterbelt mentions that he'll have to punish the girls when they get back home. Stocking hopefully asks if it'll involve chains. The dub is even more direct: "''Ooooh'', like what, bondage?"
261** In "Catfight Club", she's tied up and being pulled back and forth by a ghost, with the rope tied rather suggestively, while the scene is shown in ArtShift mode. She says it's not that bad and she could get used to it.
262*** In the same episode, Stocking is looking for her pudding in her room, and one of her closets show some dildos, handcuffs, and such.
263** Happens again in "1 Angry Ghost", when the girls are restrained. Stocking comments that it's not even tight enough to be a turn-on.
264*** Later in the episode, they get electrocuted. Stocking's response?
265----> '''Stocking''': ''I just creamed so fucking hard.''
266** Towards the end of "If The Angels Wore Swimsuits", Panty and Stocking get attacked by a giant octopus ghost. Panty breaks out with no problem, while Stocking...doesn't even try.
267---> '''Stocking''': ''So tight...''
268** In the D-City Rock video, they get stranded in the desert and decide to make signs to hitchhike. Panty's actually has where they're going, but all Stocking wrote was "Please buy me."
269* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Stocking loves all sweets, but her very favorite is Whitey-White's Special Swiss Roll Cake. Even her [[https://www.goodsmile.info/en/product/3099/Nendoroid+Stocking.html Nendoroid]] comes with a little Swiss roll and fork!
270* TraumaticHaircut: In "The Hairdresser's Bad Wife," Panty spits out her gum and it lands in Stocking's hair. She offers to make it right, but cuts off the entire lock with the gum in it. Then she cuts off the lock on the opposite side, and then cuts off more and more hair until Stocking is bald. About two seconds later, Stocking gets her revenge by shearing off the top of Panty's skull with the same scissors and styling the resulting blood splatter into her old hairstyle.
271* UnsympatheticComedyProtagonist: Less so than Panty, but still.
272* VaporWear: She sometimes removes her panties so that Panty can go GunsAkimbo.
273* WeakButSkilled: By no means weak, but she is noted to focus more on technique than Panty.
274* WeightWoe: She hates it when people make fun of her for gaining weight. Especially if it's her sister, Panty.
275* WindsOfDestinyChange: Implied in "The Stripping" to have the power of good luck.
276* YoungerThanTheyLook: {{Zigzagged|Trope}}. Panty insults Stocking by saying that if it weren't for her bust, the guys who hit on her would be mistaken for pedophiles. While this is mostly true in the show's standard art-style, whenever Stocking is drawn realistically, she looks like a teenager or young adult.

Contrary to popular belief, you are not here to collect men or sugar! So focus and stop actin' like fatass hoes!"''
285
286A priest who acts as Panty's and Stocking's boss and caretaker during their stay on Earth. Explains the missions to the duo with great gusto despite the fact that the girls are less than enthusiastic about working. All but stated to be gay.
287----
288* AfroAsskicker: Has a rather impressive afro... That he sometimes uses to hide ''shotguns'' in.
289* AmbiguouslyBi:
290** Very obviously into dudes, but he also stimulates one of his nipples with dolls of Panty and Stocking in the Sanitary Box shorts.
291** Was [[EvenTheGirlsWantHer amongst the many people]] that got a nosebleed over Panty not wearing her panties in ''Raiders of the Nasal Dark''.
292* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Garterbelt was essentially [[Film/{{Scarface 1983}} Tony Montana]] until he was finally gunned down and sent to Heaven, who sent him back to earth for some kind of MissionFromGod.]]
293* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:When he dies, he explodes in clay animation-style as with the Ghosts. The animation itself reverses the scene when he is restored.]]
294* BattleStrip: Pulls one off in "Bitch Girls: 2 Bitch".
295* CompleteImmortality: [[spoiler:He explodes like a Ghost when he dies, but because he is assigned by God to keep watching over Panty and Stocking, he un-explodes]].
296* CosmicPlaything: In "Once Upon a Time in Garterbelt", he is revealed to have been sent back in time by God as punishment for his sins. Despite gaining immortality, he was forced to witness many biblical events, sometimes even getting thrown around by everyone.
297* DaChief: Has shades of this, though he keeps the shouting at a reasonable level, considering his agents.
298* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Choleric.
299* FunnyAfro: Which swells up with pressure if he doesn't take care of business. [[spoiler:His hair was originally in dreadlocks, but they got fried into an afro by God.]]
300* HammerspaceHair: He pulls out a belt of ammunition out of his afro in "Bitch Girls: 2 Bitch".
301%%* HotBlooded
302* InSeriesNickname: Panty, Stocking, and Brief refer to him as Garter.
303* JuliusBeethovenDaVinci: During the episode of "Once Upon a Time in Garterbelt", it's revealed that Garterbelt has taken on many guises and done many things over his incredibly long lifetime. Some examples include how he met and helped dress Adam and Eve, ate the fruit from the Forbidden Tree, encountered Noah on his Ark, became a disciple of Jesus Christ, was possibly Jimmy Hendrix and (despite all the contradictions) even became a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
304%%* ManlyGay
305* MeaningfulName: He's what holds Panty and Stocking together.
306* MrExposition: Helps that he serves as the series' narrator.
307* PaperThinDisguise: Master G. The girls don't recognize him though.
308* PedophilePriest: Less pedophile more pederast; he likes 'em young but at least past puberty. Notable are his rather "close" tendencies towards Brief. [[spoiler:It's suggested that he's probably looking out for him since Brief's penis is a MacGuffin.]]
309** Confirmed that he likes boys for his own sake in the Sanitary Box shorts. He also likes visiting male prostitutes as well.
310* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:Originally sent back to Earth during the prehistoric era and has been present during events of biblical history.]]
311* {{Robosexual}}: Manages this somehow in the "Trans-homers" episode.
312* ScaryBlackMan: Subverted, as he's probably the sanest and least prone to serious violence of the protagonists. [[spoiler:Played straight and hard in his backstory from "Once Upon a Time in Garterbelt".]]
313* SeriousBusiness: His lectures on bondage, and the value of underwear.
314* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: Uses shotgun[[GunsAkimbo (s)]] in "...of the Dead".

320->'''Voiced by''': Takashi Nakamura (Japanese), Creator/IanSinclair (English)\
321''"Chuckchuckchuckchuckchuckchuckchuckchuckchuckchuckchuckfuckfuckfuckfuckchuck!.."''
322
323Chuck. A brainless, green little Butt Monkey of a pet (?) dog, glutton of everything organic and inorganic, and forget motivation - lacking a single meaningful thought whatsoever; his zero awareness causing his destruction in any number of graphic and hilarious ways... Is used by the heavens to transport paper with clues on the whereabouts of the next ghost (via lightningbolts to the noggin of course). Occasionally helps out on the girls' missions. He tends to be physically abused by the two.
324----
325* AlienBlood: His blood is violet.
326* BadassDriver: Surpassingly skilled at driving Panty and Stocking's car, See-Through. Able to go wheel-to-wheel with an ''actual'' speed demon (whether a [[MechaMook Ghost-posessed vehicle]], or with [[TheRival Fastener]]).
327* BigEater: Well he would be, except the rest of the cast usually beat him when he makes a grab for their food.
328* BoltOfDivineRetribution: To the skull. Always (although they are 'actually' messenger bolts, which deliver clues on the next target Ghost).
329* BoomHeadshot: [[AwesomenessIsVolatile Heavenly]] [[BoltOfDivineRetribution lightning bolts]]. [[MemeticMutation Always]].
330* ButtMonkey: Constantly at the receiving end of... well, everything. From electricutions, punched to death, shot at, etc. And amazingly [[UnexplainedRecovery gets better]].
331* CarFu: Has a full-on CarFu ''duel'' with Fastener in "Les Diaboliques" while Stocking and Kneesocks ride shotgun and look pretty bored.
332* ChekhovsGun: Chuck's big [[spoiler:zipper]].
333* ChekhovsGunman: Full-power Chuck in the final episode, not only [[spoiler: unzipping]] himself, but even able to [[spoiler:zip]] back up the [[spoiler:[[{{Hellgate}} Hellsmouth]]]]
334* TheChewToy: Literally the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/chuck_gets_beat_up_2286.jpg poster boy]] for this trope. His day starts with a fresh, crisp lightning bolt from the heavens, warms up by being chopped into a couple dozen pieces by either Stocking or Kneesocks, progresses to being run through a blender, and pretty much rolls from there. [[HarmlessElectrocution Electrical]] [[HighVoltageDeath outlets]], [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]], [[VehicularAssault car wheels]], bicycles, walls that break his headlong flight...
335* ChunkySalsaRule: Averted; the Salsa is observed once per episode or more.
336* CosmicPlaything: prone to casual, constant, inexplicable, sudden-onset ultra-violence (being inflicted on him), including whenever God feels like playing with lightning
337* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler:When ordered to "get serious" in the first season finale, he ''unzips'' and ''turns inside out'' to become an enormous hellhound/bull thing. When the final battle is over, he zips Hell's Gate shut.]]
338* CruelAndUnusualDeath: Sliced with katana into perfect little cubes, blenderized, crushed in a hand till his organs pop out...
339* DeathFromAbove: Is often on the receiving end of this via a lightning bolt containing intel on the next Ghost.
340* DogsAreDumb: Chuck doesn't think about much except for where his next meal is coming from.
341* {{Expy}}: Of GIR from ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'', specifically his dog disguise. Zim creator Jhonen Vasquez noticed the similarities right away (stating that he's found his own version of [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS8E22InMargeWeTrust Mr. Sparkle]]).
342* ExtremeOmnisexual: {{Lust}}ful to the point of humping anything with a pulse... or without ([[PirateNinjaZombieRobot Ghost-]][[{{Robosexual}} trains]] included).
343* ExtremeOmnivore: From mobile phones to endless copies of Panty's sex tape.
344* GagPenis: Sometimes seen playing with his ...zip, and when deciding to [[spoiler:'get serious']], [[spoiler:[[SuperMode unzips]]]] himself
345* HarmlessElectrocution: Whenever intel on the next Ghost needs to be conveyed, it is always borne on bolts out of the blue, which [[ChewToy unfailingly]] [[CosmicPlaything target]] Chuck's [[BoomHeadshot inflated cranium]] - [[ArtMajorPhysics even though he's usually inside the much taller church building at the time]].
346* HighVoltageDeath: When gaining intel on the next Ghost, he gets hit with a lightning bolt that seemingly kills him. Due to his HealingFactor he always manages to come back though.
347* IronButtMonkey: The most indestructible character of the series
348* LightningReveal: Heaven sends messages via lightning strikes [[BoomHeadshot to the skull]] of Chuck (the actual message is on a slip of paper which [[LightningCanDoAnything falls out of his mouth]])
349* LudicrousGibs: Usually courtesy of Stocking or Kneesocks' katana, or Fastener's blender.
350* MadeOfPlasticine: Squashed and squished and bounced and splattered into a mass of bloody, spongy goo whenever encountering attacking forces, and is able to heal properly.
351* MadEye: Often the only thing left of him whenever he gets pulped ([[GoodThingYouCanHeal again]]).
352* MeaningfulName: "Chuck" (or spelled more accurately, ''chakku'') means "zipper" in Japanese (and in fact, so does "Fastener", the name of Chuck's evil counterpart).
353* MisterMuffykins: And boy, does he get murdered for it... (again)
354* NighInvulnerability: Played for laughs in "Chuck to the Future", complete with {{Shout Out}}s to both [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay T-1000]] and [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} Dr. Manhattan]]. To put that to perspective, his EvilCounterpart and rival Fastener went limp after [[ItMakesSenseInContext Chuck opened his zipper and let his brain walk out]] which doesn't seem to affect [[CloudCuckooLander Chuck in the least]].
355* NoOneShouldSurviveThat: He does[[ContractualImmortality ('nt)]].
356* ObfuscatingStupidity: The king and master of, and also unsurpassed at combining it with TooDumbToLive. In "Les Diaboliques", this actually effectively conceals him from the attention of the antagonists, enabling him to reach [[TooDumbToLive and]] '''''[[IdiotBall SWALLOW UP]]''''' the [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny shiny]], [[ArtifactOfDoom demonic]] [[MineralMacGuffin stone]], [[SpannerInTheWorks starting]] a chain of events that leads to the protagonists' victory. Is in fact perfectly capable of reading the situation, co-presenting mission profiles with Garterbelt, understanding his teammates' intentions without verbal or non-verbal cues, precision high-speed driving to screen his teammates from enemy attack or place them into striking position etc...
357** Although the intro [[XRaySparks reveals]] his cranium as an 'airhead', [[BlowYouAway air]] is in fact the most intellectual element in astrology. This is reinforced by the [[WindIsGreen association of green]] with air in Oriental astrology (both Chuck and his intro screen are green).
358* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler:He can transform into [[http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh185/Ghostseid/Ghost_Chuck.jpg a titanic horned hellhound]] by turning himself inside-out]].
359* PluckyComicRelief: A (sometimes literal) living basketball.
360* PokemonSpeak: He can only speak with his name, and sometimes the word "fuck".
361* PrecisionFStrike / ClusterFBomb: Yes, ''both'' in the same instance. In "Les Diaboliques", when Chuck [[SpannerInTheWorks SWALLOWS]] [[WhatDoesThisButtonDo UP]] the [[MineralMacGuffin Ghoststone]] and [[TheRival Fastener]] [[ButtMonkey kicks him repeatedly and rapidly in the gut]], Chuck just as rapidly [[PokemonSpeak intones]] [[PokemonSpeak his]] [[PokemonSpeak own]] [[PokemonSpeak name]]... but about four times instead of Chuck says 'fuck'.
362* SnapBack: You might kill him all you like...
363* SpannerInTheWorks: By being a [[MisterMuffykins mindless little]] [[ExtremeOmnivore omnivore]], led the protagonists to victory in "Les Diaboliques".
364* StayingAlive:
365* SuperMode: What he [[spoiler: [[GrowingMusclesSequence turns]] [[{{Hellhound}} into]]]] during the final battle, via [[spoiler:[[ItMakesSenseInContext unzipping]]]] himself and [[DisneyAcidSequence turning himself]] [[spoiler:[[DerangedAnimation inside]] [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment out]]...]]
366* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Chopped into a couple dozen pieces, run through a blender, top of skull destroyed by car wheel.
367* TheyKilledKennyAgain: And again, and again, and again... [[http://cdn.pastemagazine.com/www/articles/2008/10/06/YouKilledKenny.jpg this is more or less the story of Chuck]]
368* XRaySparks: Whenever Heaven feels like sending down a bolt on his skull, the contents thereof are revealed (hint: [[TheDitz it's]] [[GeniusDitz air]]).

374''"You may not believe this, but I'm an expert in the occult! Plus I got this proton pack for my birthday last year and it's awesome!"''
375
376Dubbed "Geek Boy" by Panty and Stocking, Brief is a rather timid youth that the girls meet during a mission at a high school. His hobby of researching paranormal activity sometimes leads the girls to the ghost of the episode. Helps out the two whenever he can (sometimes unwillingly). Also has a crush on Panty, though she usually ignores him.
377----
378* ActionSurvivor: A mostly ordinary human who tags along to assist the Anarchy sisters in their battles against the forces of Hell. He generally gets tossed around the most, by both the MonsterOfTheWeek and the angels themselves, but manages to pull through nonetheless.
379* ApocalypseMaiden: [[spoiler:His dick is the key to Hell.]]
380* ArrangedMarriage: [[spoiler: To Scanty so that the mayor may harness the power of his magical dick. ItMakesSenseInContext]].
381* BadassInANiceSuit: [[spoiler:For his arranged marriage with Scanty, he has to wear a very chic white tuxedo. This also happens to be the moment when he reveals both how [[SheCleansUpNicely handsome]] ''and'' [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass badass]] he can be.]]
382* BadassNormal: While he's usually a DistressedDude, he proves to be a formidable ghost hunter at times, particularly in the later episodes.
383* BeautifulAllAlong: [[spoiler: When his hair is gelled back, he's actually so cute that Panty doesn't recognize him, and even falls for him.]]
384* BigPrickBigProblems: [[spoiler:His penis is so big that having sex with him is painful for Panty, who had regrown her hymen shortly beforehand.]]
385* ButtMonkey: Tends to get abused, both physically and verbally, frequently. He usually has it better off than Chuck, though.
386* CallingTheOldManOut: [[spoiler: His father wants to marry him off to the mayor's daughter. Of course, Brief openly states he'd much rather marry Panty]].
387* CircumcisionAngst: The fact that Panty seems to really hate foreskin isn't helping... or at least, untill she gets to grips with his [[GagPenis shotgun]].
388* ClarkKenting: [[spoiler: Wears his hair down and goes by the nickname Brief when in reality he is the incredibly attractive and insanely rich heir to the Rock Foundation. To be fair, it's unclear if he was keeping his identity a secret or if the Anarchy sisters were too uninterested in him to ask in the first place.]]
389* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: [[spoiler:Who knew he had it in him?!]]
390* DeusSexMachina: [[spoiler:He IS one. His GagPenis unlocks the gates of hell and restores Panty's powers.]]
391* DistressedDude: Generally gets captured by the MonsterOfTheWeek whenever he appears. Panty and Stocking couldn't care less, but they end up saving him as a side effect of defeating said monster.
392* DivineDate: [[spoiler:Panty chooses him as the 1,000th man she'll have sex with.]]
393* DoggedNiceGuy: It takes something to still love a girl after she attempts to fill you with bullet holes [[FantasticVoyagePlot from the inside]]. [[spoiler: It finally pays off for him in "Panty + Brief".]]
394** [[spoiler:Afterward, he's still treated more or less the same by Panty, but she stops calling him "Geek Boy" and starts calling him Brief instead, indicating that they may still have retained ''some'' closeness.]]
395* FourTemperamentEnsemble: The Phlegmatic.
396* EyesOutOfSight: His hair covers his eyes at almost all times. [[spoiler: As a result of this, his good looks are generally hidden from the rest of the cast and the audience.]]
397* GagPenis: Implied in "High School Nudical" with the size of his shotgun.
398** [[spoiler:[[{{Foreshadowing}} As fate would have it]], his penis is a MacGuffin and is sought out by the BigBad]].
399** BiggerIsBetterInBed: [[spoiler:Subverted. When he ''finally'' gets some from Panty, his sheer size is actually a source of ''pain'' for her. Justified when her hymen was recently restored. The fact that she, an angel, was coming in contact with a Hellish relic might also have played some role in it.]]
400%%** SignificantGreenEyedRedhead
401* HeCleansUpNicely: [[spoiler:As Briefers Rock, he is so handsome that Panty [[ClarkKenting didn't recognize him until he pointed it out to her]]!]]
402* ICallHimMrHappy: He refers to his yin-yang as "Mr. Sticky" in the last episode.
403* {{Keet}}: Despite how shitty his life is, he tends to take most things in stride, and reacts with glee when encountering the supernatural.
404* LoveAtFirstSight: Falls for Panty the moment he sees her.
405* LoveMartyr: Willing to put up with a ''lot'' of shit just to try and have a shot with Panty.
406* MrFanservice: [[spoiler:With his hair slicked back, he becomes much easier on the eyes, to the point where his nude scenes, which are normally PlayedForLaughs, come off as straight fanservice. It helps that he spend most of his screen time in a crisp white suit while this is happening]].
407* MeaningfulName: [[spoiler: Him being named after undergarments like the Archangels and Demons is {{foreshadowing}} of his demonic bloodline.]]
408* NiceGuy: Social ineptitude and pervertedness aside, he’s probably the most well-mannered, passive, and down to earth character in the show. [[ButtMonkey Not that anyone treats him with that same respect, of course.]]
409* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: [[spoiler: Resembles a young Leonardo [=DiCaprio=] with his hair slicked back.]]
410* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He's most often addressed as "Geek Boy".
411** [[spoiler:His name "Brief" is also a nickname to his full name, "Briefers Rock"]].
412%%* OnlySaneMan: Sometimes takes up this role.
413* RedheadInGreen: He is normally seen in a green hoodie and pants.
414* SecretlyWealthy: [[spoiler:The heir to the Rock Foundation.]]
415* ShotgunsAreJustBetter: When Panty transforms his underwear in "High School Nudical", it turns into a big pump-action shotgun.
416* StealthPun: In "High School Nudical," the huge shotgun made out of his underwear is very powerful, but goes soft and floppy after two shots. He's a two-pump chump, see?
417* ShoutOut: To ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'' and [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater The Pain]]. [[spoiler:And possibly Creator/LeonardoDiCaprio with his hair gelled back]]. His normal appearance is one to [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Lee Kanker]].
418* SpearCounterpart: [[spoiler:He looks an awful lot like a male version of Panty with his bangs out of the way.]]
419* ShrinkingViolet: While he's upbeat and friendly, he doesn't have much confidence in himself and gets flustered easily.
420* SignificantGreen-EyedRedhead: His red hair emphasizes his geeky qualities and the reveal of his green eyes emphasizes how hot and handsome he is. There is also the fact that he is the key to unlocking the gates of hell and restoring Panty's powers.
421* StalkerWithACrush: Definitely displays some traits, though he's still able to hang out with them with regularity.
422* TagalongKid: While [[VagueAge his age is never explicitly stated,]] he more-or-less served the role as the unofficial KidSidekick to the group.
423* TheGlassesGottaGo: Inverted. Not seen in the show, but [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/b2_5883.png some official artwork states this]]
424* ThrowTheDogABone: [[spoiler:He finally gets some from Panty in the season finale.]]
425* {{Tritagonist}}: Steadily becomes more and more prominent until becoming almost as important to the plot as the Anarchy sisters.
426* TsurimeEyes: [[spoiler:Revealed to have these with his hair slicked back, making him look much cooler and more handsome in the process.]]
427* TokenGoodTeammate: In a world where ComedicSociopathy and general {{sadis|t show}}m are commonplace, Brief's NiceGuy qualities stand out.
428* WhatBeautifulEyes: [[spoiler:He's absolutely ''stunning'' if you can see them.]]
429* WildTake: His reaction in the last 20 seconds of the final episode [[spoiler:when Stocking pulls out her katana and slices Panty into a pile of 666 cube-shaped pieces.]]
430* WholeCostumeReference: Wears the ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}'' uniform at all times.
431* YouthfulFreckles: A mixture of the ButtMonkey or ChewToy, TagAlongKid and UnluckyEverydude.

434!Ghosts
435[[folder:General]]
436%%
437%%This is being worked on. Additional help is welcome.
438%%
439The main enemies of the series, Ghosts are what Panty and Stocking hunt down to obtain Heaven Coins. Natural Ghosts are born as an ironic reflection of the deceased, specifically representing their failures or deaths. Artificial Ghosts are {{Mook}}s created by the Demons, but are weaker than natural Ghosts and do not give out Heaven Coins.
440----
441* ArtShift: Their death depicts them as clay figurines.
442* CallAPegasusAHippogriff: Though they're called "Ghosts", only some of them are the spirits of an individual dead person. More often than not, they are actually embodiments of some vice or frustration plaguing a specific group of humans (e.g. bachelors, ''plumbers'', etc.). This allows [[spoiler: the Daemons to mass produce them without some sort of massive, industrial-sized murder spree involved, which would be evil, but also wildly indiscreet and impractical]].
443* DarkIsEvil: All of them are black in coloration, with [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red undertones]].
444* DefeatEqualsExplosion: Most of them do not die peaceful deaths.
445** This is explicitly said to be just because they're killed with the girls' Holy Weapons. The only two aversions are [[spoiler: a Ghost whose corpse was left behind after being killed by ''another'' ghost, and a Ghost who redeemed himself and got pulled up into Heaven.]]
446* EliteMooks: Reduced to this once the Demons show up on the scene.
447* KryptoniteFactor: A villianous example. The main way to kill a Ghost is with angelic weapons, which do little damage to humans.
448* MechaMook: The artificial Ghosts.
449* MoneySpider: A non-videogame example. Whenever they're killed, they leave behind Heaven Coins, which the girls need to go back to Heaven.
450* MonsterOfTheWeek: They fulfill this role for the first half of the series.
451* OurGhostsAreDifferent: None of them are particularly conventional, as far as ghosts go. The moment the angels fight [[spoiler: an ''army of vengeful sperm ghosts that got wiped away by tissue paper'']], most other things stop being surprising.
452* OutOfFocus: After the Demons make their debut, Ghosts shift from the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Monsters of the Week]] to EliteMooks, and are mostly forgotten in the final two episodes, [[spoiler:bar The Other Gods]].
453[[/folder]]

455[[folder:Big Brown]]
456The Ghost encountered in "Excretion Without Honor and Humanity", born from a plumber who suffocated from the stench of feces.
457----
458* FakeUltimateMook: Provides trouble for the {{Muggle}}s, but Panty and Stocking only need one blow from each of their weapons to do it in.
459* {{Gasshole}}: Controls all the fecal matter in Daten City.
460* PokemonSpeak: A variation; it can only talk about shit, feces, and the like.
461* TalkingPoo: Is a giant monster created from feces, and can only talk about crap.
462[[/folder]]
463
464[[folder:Crazy Crazy Cabbie]]
465Encountered in "Death Race 2010", this Ghost was born from a taxi driver whose need for speed careened him off a cliff.
466----
467* {{Acrofatic}}: He's able to move very fast as a semi.
468* BishonenLine: Goes from a semitruck to a bullet train for the final portion of his fight.
469* BoomHeadshot: Panty does him in with a well placed bullet to the head.
470* CombatSadomasochist: Thanks Panty for shooting him in the head, saying that it made him climax.
471* CoolCar: Upgrades to a CoolTrain in his final form.
472* DemonicPossession: Is able to this with vehicles.
473* DontExplainTheJoke: Fond of doing this to any innuendos he says.
474* GlassCannon: As a semi, he's just as destructive as his car form, but he takes lots of damage from normal guns.
475* HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Stocking slices his truck form in half in a SingleStrokeBattle.
476* ImmuneToBullets: In his first form.
477* TheJuggernaut: His final form moves faster than the speed of light, and is only affected by a KryptoniteFactor.
478* LawOfChromaticSuperiority: Unlike most Ghosts, he's primarily red, and he's the one based on speed.
479* LightningBruiser: In his first and final form.
480* SuperSpeed: His goal since his mortal life was to move faster than light, which he achieves after becoming a train.

482
483[[folder:Queen Bee]]
484->'''Voiced by''': Creator/AyaEndo (Japanese), Creator/LeahClark (English)\
485Encountered in "The Turmoil Of The Beehive", she is the spirit of an AlphaBitch who died after being stung by the pet bee of a geek she bullied. She has a human disguise in which she is known as Queen Barby.
486----
487* AlphaBitch: Continued being one even after her death.
488* BigCreepyCrawlies: She is rather enormous in her true form.
489* CruelCheerleader: Aside from being an AlphaBitch, she is also a very popular and mean cheerleader, who once bullied a geek before she was stung by the geek's pet bee.
490* HiveQueen: Once her minions start mind-controlling people.
491* InsectQueen: Her true form is a titanic bee.
492* MacrossMissileMassacre: Her ultimate attack is to transform her abdomen into a giant honeycomb-like rocket launcher from which she fires hundreds of bees at once, stinger-first.
493* MeaningfulName: "Queen Bee" can mean both a literal InsectQueen and an AlphaBitch, she is both! This gets [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by Panty & Stocking in the English dub.
494--> '''Panty''': Can this get any more fucking predictable?
495-->'''Stocking''': Nope. She's a queen, she's a bee. She's a Queen Bee. We fucking get it!
496* PunnyName: Refers to the Barbie dolls and also has the sound "bee" in it, hinting towards her true nature.
497* PuppeteerParasite: Her bees can attach themselves to humans and subjugate them to her will.
498* VillainousBreakdown: The angels cause her to suffer one when they outshine her. This causes her to unleash her powers in an attempt to get revenge and eventually leads to her final death.

501[[folder:Bloody Hood & Gal Ghoul]]
502The ghosts of a prostitute and her pimp who were attacked by a wolf while having sex in the woods during a picnic. The latter became a hulking werewolf creature, the former a tiny hooded imp permanently attached to the beast's tail.
503----
504* ConjoinedTwins: While not actually twins, they are connected to each other by a thin cable which serves as Gal Ghoul's tail.
505* EpicFlail: For their CombinationAttack, Bloody Hood curls up in a ball and Gal Ghoul uses her as a flail.
506* FreezeFrameBonus: When Hood bumps into Stocking in her human disguise, she gets the telltale black-and-red spiral eyes for a split second.
507* GrievousHarmWithABody: Ghoul can use Hood as a living EpicFlail.
508* NiceJobFixingItVillain: They nearly kill Panty and Stocking until they decide to rub it in and get the sisters more pissed off at them than each other.
509* PrehensileTail: Gal Ghoul's tail can be used to tie up the duo's victims.
510* ShoutOut: References ''Literature/LittleRedRidingHood'', notably with Gal Ghoul being the Wolf and Bloody Hood being an evil version of Little Red Riding Hood.
511* WoundedGazelleGambit: Bloody Hood pretends to be a helpless child in need of help to lure passerby straight into Gal Ghoul's jaws.

513
514[[folder:Patrick Fagry/Flat U. Lance]]
515A foul, unpleasant ghost borne from the frustrations of men who never got to experience love. Not much of a threat, but he drives crowds away with his stench and rudeness wherever he goes. Stocking finds him irresistibly attractive, for some unknown reason.
516----
517* AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: [[spoiler: Ascends to Heaven at the end of the episode after experiencing love and redeeming himself.]]
518* AllThereInTheManual: His English name is only revealed in the booklet for one of the Blu-Ray bundles. During the episode he's in, it's a case of NoNameGiven.
519* CasanovaWannabe: Right before Stocking meets him, he tries to ask several girls out... All of whom are thoroughly grossed out.
520* DubNameChange: Patrick Fagry in original Japanese, Flat U. Lance in the English dub.
521* FatBastard: Rather heavy set, and also a jerk. [[spoiler: Subverted at the end, when he gets admitted into Heaven]].
522* {{Gasshole}}: His farts are almost like ''periods'' to every sentence he speaks... And he is not a quiet guy.
523* {{Gonk}}: Somehow manages to be this to the ''Ghosts'', a group that includes ''a giant literal pile of shit'' and a monster with ''tits for eyes''. He is most probably the ugliest character in the series.
524* {{Hypocrite}}: His personal hygiene is ''abysmal''. However, he's really concerned as to whether the food he's going to eat was prepared properly.
525-->'''Flat''': Did you wash your hands? I don't want ''germs'', you know!\
526'''Stocking''': *Nods*\
527'''Flat''': Yeah, right! You're a ''girl''! Ghosts don't like food mixed with germs! *''farts''*
528* TheImp: Unlike most other Ghosts, he is not malicious, and is only interested in food and sex. However, Stocking's desire for him drives her to almost abandon Panty and Garterbelt. Other than that, he only poses a threat to the lunch of anyone he approaches, sans Stocking.
529* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Perverted and rude, but once he starts dating Stocking... He somehow becomes even ''more'' unpleasant, being neglectful and indifferent towards her.
530** In the end, however, this is [[spoiler: [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold subverted]]. He declares his unconditional love for Stocking, a feeling confirmed as sincere when it redeems him and earns him passage into Heaven.]]
531* KavorkaMan: Zig-Zagged. He is introduced trying (and failing miserably) to woo a whole bunch of girls, who are all repulsed by him. Stocking, however, becomes ''obsessed'' with him.
532* LoveAtFirstSight: Stocking goes ''crazy'' over him the moment she sees him. He... does not seem to be that into her, though. [[spoiler: Although he does come around.]]
533* PunnyName: [[{{Gasshole}} Flatulence]]. Also a MeaningfulName.
534* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: When he finally declares his true feelings for Stocking, his feelings of unconditional love finally redeem the feelings of regret and frustration of men who died as bachelors, that make him up. He then Ascends to Heaven.]]
535* SelectiveObliviousness: Sometimes, it seems he just hears what he wants to hear.
536-->'''Stocking''': [...] I'm actually an angel.\
537'''Flat''': *Gasps* ... What's this about anal?
538* ShoutOut: Called Patrick Fagry in Japanese, after Creator/PatrickSwayze. This same actor starred in ''Film/Ghost1990'', playing a ghost romantically involved with a living woman.
539* {{Stellification}}: [[spoiler:After ascending to heaven, he becomes a constellation shaped like a pile of poo.]]
540* TokenGoodTeammate: Far from a good person, but he is one of only two ghosts in the series that isn't openly aggressive, and of those two he's the only one with actual spoken lines.[[spoiler: Played perfectly straight at the very end of his episode, as he's the only ghost that gets "defeated" by redeeming himself, ascending to Heaven after experiencing true love, leaving behind [[MoneySpider a Heaven Coin.]]]]
541* UglyGuyHotWife: His repulsive self, paired with Stocking, a beautiful angel. Except, Stocking is technically not his wife, [[spoiler: but she ''is'' his fiancé.]]
542* UngratefulBastard: Is first introduced desperately trying to [[AllMenArePerverts get laid]]. However, he is neglectful and downright shitty towards Stocking once they start dating. [[spoiler: He finally realizes that he does love Stocking, since no one had actually cared about him quite as much as her. Sadly, this also redeems him from his miserable existence as a Ghost, and he gets sucked up into Heaven shortly after.]]
543[[/folder]]
544
545[[folder:Mr. Husband Petter]]
546An uncharacteristically peaceful, friendly Ghost and a honorary citizen of Daten City. Found murdered in a park, with the prime suspects being Panty and Stocking, since they, indeed, kill Ghosts where they find them. Left behind a wife and countless mourners who end up calling for the Anarchy Sisters' blood.
547----
548* CartoonCreature: Described as a "pet" once or twice, but his particular species (if any, since he was a Ghost) is unclear. The fact that he's a reference to [[WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpy Stimpy]] may classify him as a cat, but he looks as much as one as the former (i.e. not much).
549* FriendlyNeighborhoodVampires: He used to be an upstanding citizen who just happened to also be a Ghost.
550* NotEnoughToBury: The only Ghost that averts this throughout the series. For some reason, he left a corpse for the police to find, instead of exploding and leaving no trace except for a few Heavens like most Ghosts. [[spoiler: This is because Ghosts only explode when [[DefeatEqualsExplosion Panty and Stocking use their sacred angel weapons to deal the final blow]]. Since it was another Ghost that killed him (i.e. his wife), this did not happen. This was the evidence that got Panty and Stocking acquitted of killing him.]]
551* PosthumousCharacter: Killed before the events of "One Angry Ghost", which revolves around the trial of his presumed murderers. He only appears in a couple of flashbacks/testimonies and has no spoken lines.
552* ShoutOut: He looks ''a lot'' like [[WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpy Stimpy]], with the good natured, silly disposition to match.
553** His wife is also a dead ringer for Ren [[spoiler:and is revealed to be just as violent and resentful of her husband.]]
554* TokenGoodTeammate: One of only three [[spoiler: actually two, since his wife [[BitchInSheepsClothing doesn't count]]]] Ghosts in the series who aren't physically hostile, and the only one that was, apparently, a perfectly upstanding, pleasant individual.
555* TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth: A very nice, supportive member of the Daten City community, until his untimely death. He was the first (and so far, only) Ghost to actually get a ''freaking trial'' seeking to prosecute the ones responsible for his death, although this may be due to his status as the first and only Ghost citizen of Daten [[spoiler: and the Daemon's plot to have the Angels convicted and sentenced to death for his murder, which was actually perpetrated by his wife.]]
556* VanHelsingHateCrimes: Presumably the victim of one, after he is found dead and the prime suspects become Panty and Stocking, who dedicate themselves to killing Ghosts. [[spoiler: Actually averted: The actual culprit was his wife, another Ghost who killed him out of jealously and frustration.]]
557[[/folder]]
558
559[[folder:Wife Petter]]
560[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The late Mr. Husband's widow.]] She leads the mob in accusing Panty and Stocking for killing her husband
561----
562* BitchInSheepsClothing: Seems to be as tame as her husband, [[spoiler: but she's his actual killer. She turns out to be just as vicious as other Ghosts, too.]]
563* CartoonCreature: As a foil to Mr. Husband, she's an {{Expy}} of [[WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpy Ren]]. Like said character, she actually does look a bit like a Chihuahua, but she's still called a "pet". [[spoiler: And her real form bears no resemblance to any actual animal, so there's that.]]
564* TakesOneToKillOne: The fact that she [[spoiler: killed Mr. Husband]] implies that [[spoiler: angelic weapons are not the only thing that can kill Ghosts, and that Ghosts can kill other Ghosts.]]

568!Demons
569
570[[folder:General]]
571Two demon sisters from Hell and the mayor's daughters, who oppose the angel sisters. They're obsessed with order, decorum, and "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrules."
572----
573* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: They both have dark red skin. Oddly enough, blushing makes Kneesocks turn a ''lighter'' shade of red.
574* CoDragons: Both of them serve under [[spoiler: Corset]].
575* EvenEvilHasStandards: They may loathe the angel sisters and consider them uncouth but they look downright horrified when they see [[spoiler:Stocking pull out her sword and slice Panty into 666 pieces]].
576** Kneesocks is visibly horrified that the angels were willing to let Brief die just to get a possible cheap shot at them. At first this looks like HypocriteHasAPoint because she took him hostage, but then you realize she still had the safety on and never intended to hurt him to begin with.
577* InTheNameOfTheMoon: Like Panty and Stocking, the demon sisters have a MagicalIncantation that accompanies their transformation sequence.
578-->Break, O Earth. Dry up, O sea. Burn out, O sun. Grant us power, Earthly leaders and gatekeepers of Hell. Guide us, makers of the underworld! We are high-class Demon Commanders!
579* JerkassHasAPoint: They aren't really wrong that Panty and Stocking are terrible heroes who care more about having sex and eating sweets than saving people.
580* {{Leitmotif}}: "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCut2rFo1bk Theme for Scanty & Kneesocks]]", a slow-paced electronic track with lyrics about ThePowerOfLove.
581* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Like the rest of the characters who aren't [[spoiler:[[EvilAllAlong Stocking]]]], they did ''not'' see [[spoiler: Corset's backup plan]] coming.
582* NobleDemon: Neither of them are nice, but they're very big on [[RunningGag "Rrrrrrrrrrrules"]]. Also it may have been [[PragmaticVillainy for pragmatism's sake]] but they're both incensed that the angels Panty and Stocking would let Brief (their friend/lackey) DIE just for a ''possible'' shot at them.
583* SensibleHeroesSkimpyVillains: Downplayed; Panty's and Stocking's angel outfits show a fair amount of skin, but Scanty's and Kneesocks' BDSM-esque transformation outfits make them look downright modest in comparison.
584* ShoutOut: Both of them could be a shout out to Him of ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls1998''.
585* SiblingIncest: [[spoiler:Revealed in "D.C. Confidential" that they apparently often engage in sex when the Mayor isn't looking.]]
586* TrrrillingRrrs: Scanty and Kneesocks are kinda big on "Rrrrrrrules".
587* WindsOfDestinyChange: "The Stripping" implies they have the power to impose bad luck on others.

593''"Bravo, Kneesocks. Bravo! Continue your assiduous assault until those hackney angels are broke! Shame them into the depths of despair and then annihilate them!"''
594
595An agent from Hell. Unlike the angels, she and her younger sister Kneesocks are intent on ruling with law and order (their own brand of it, of course) and speak in a more elegant style. However, Scanty has a [[HairTriggerTemper very short temper]] and takes their rivalry with the angels very seriously upon losing to them for the first time. Like Panty, she can also turn her panties into guns, in this case revolvers.
596----
597* ArrangedMarriage: [[spoiler: To Brief so that the mayor may harness the power of his magical dick. ItMakesSenseInContext.]]
598* BifurcatedWeapon: She can also combine her revolvers to form a shotgun.
599* BitingTheHandkerchief: More out of anger than grief.
600* DarkActionGirl: About the only person who can match Panty in a shooting competition.
601* EvilCounterpart: To Panty. They're both {{Action Girl}}s who use handguns and have [[HairTriggerTemper violent tempers]] and swear much more than their sisters (the difference being that of the angels Panty swears ''far'' more than Stocking, and of the demons Scanty is the one who gets [[GoshDangItToHeck actual swear words out]]).
602* {{Expy}}: Scanty has more than just a passing resemblance to Nia of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''. Double points because it's Gainax.
603** Her red skin, long, wild green hair and yellow/green, spiral-y eyes also makes her bear an uncanny resemblance to Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann itself.
604* GoshDangItToHeck: Mostly played straight in the dub, with only two aversions.
605* HairReboot: A chunk of her hair gets burnt in "If Angels Wore Swimsuits", but fixes itself moments later.
606* HairTriggerTemper: Ever since her fight with Panty, Scanty gets angry with minimal provocation at virtually anything that comes out of the angels' mouths.
607* HornedHumanoid: Has two small horns on either side of her head that just barely peek out of her hair.
608* LadyOfWar: To an extent. While she's elegant and armed with a revolver, that temper of hers wouldn't be considered graceful.
609* NamedWeapons: Double Gold Lacytanga.
610* TheOjou: She even has the noblewoman's laugh.
611* PrecisionFStrike: In the dub of [[spoiler: "Bitch Girls", when Hellsmonkey is freed from his prison.]]
612-->[[spoiler:'''Kneesocks''': Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!\
613'''Scanty''': Holy motherfucking God dammit shit!]]
614* RevolversAreJustBetter: Unlike Panty, Scanty uses revolvers rather than pistols.
615* ScarsAreForever: [[spoiler: At least by the end of "Bitch Girls: 2 Bitch", in which Panty throws a burning pair of panties at her face, leaving a burn mark that lasts the rest of the episode.]]
616* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: In the dub, going so far as to replace the majority of the cursing in the original script.
617* TsurimeEyes: Only surpassed in this category by her sister.
618* WhyWontYouDie: During her first brawl with Panty, she's seen firing her revolvers (as she's seen missing every shot) at her while furiously screeching out this trope exactly word for word which is highly fluctuated by her highly increased aggravation.

624''"There, are you happy? Our time has been pilfered and you've nothing to show for it! We are still in charge of this school, we're intelligent and pulchritudinous, and the students here will always worship us!"''
625
626Scanty's younger sister and another agent of Hell. Pretty much the same as her sister, though she's the more outspoken one of the two, plus she's far more proficient at controlling her temper than Scanty. Unlike Stocking, her knee socks turn into scythes.
627----
628* AffectionateNickname: Her sister Scanty refers to her as "Kneesocks-san" (Japanese) or "Miss Kneesocks" (English).
629* BadassAdorable: As dangerous as her sister in a fight, and much more emotional than her as well ([[HairTriggerTemper and much nicer than when Scanty's emotions get the better of her]]).
630* CoDragons: With her sister to [[spoiler: Corset]].
631* CountryMatters: [[spoiler: In her Tom Croose disguise, she uses "cunt" frequently.]]
632* DarkActionGirl: She's just as good at melee as Stocking is.
633* DualWielding: With twin scythes, compared to Stocking's katana.
634* {{Expy}}: Her hair brings to mind Yoko of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''. Given that Scanty resembles Nia, its most likely that this was intentional.
635* EvilCounterpart: To Stocking.
636* EvilSoundsDeep: An evil demon who possesses the deepest voice of the female characters, both in Japanese and English.
637* TheGlassesComeOff: She doesn't wear her glasses at all throughout "If the Angels Wore Swimsuits".
638* GratuitousEnglish: Exaggerated; some of her sentences are practically a 50-50 split between Japanese and English.
639* GoshDangItToHeck: In the dub. Kneesocks is the only main character who never swears throughout the entire series. However, [[spoiler:her Tom Croose disguise averts it completely.]]
640* HornedHumanoid: Has one large horn that sticks out of her forehead and bangs.
641* HotBlooded: Though of a different stripe than her sister: while Scanty has a much more violent temper, Kneesocks is much more emotional in general and can get carried away when she's on a roll.
642* LadyOfWar: More so than her sister, as she actually has a hamper on her temper.
643* LuminescentBlush: Usually when particularly angry or her disguise is slipping.
644* NamedWeapons: Double Gold Spandex.
645* PaperThinDisguise: It's a wonder she managed to fool Panty and Stocking into thinking she was a roulette operator... by simply taking off her glasses and putting on a mustache.
646** Averted in "1 Angry Ghost".
647* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: In the dub, which fits with the high-class and orderly standards she holds herself to.
648* SinisterScythe: What better weapon for a literal demon to wield in combat?
649* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Her name is usually spelled "Kneesocks," but the soundtrack spells her name "Knee Socks."
650* SugarAndIcePersonality: Though she's more [[LargeHam outspoken]] and uptight than her sister, she's less emotional than her sister. Her soft side only comes out around Scanty (causing her to turn pink).
651* TomboyishPonytail: Downplayed in terms of appearance and personality. While she dons a really spiky ponytail, she's mostly identified as a higher social standard with eloquent mannerisms but is way more collected and poised than her sister, who'll likely snap whenever she gets miffed.
652* TsurimeEyes: Possibly the most extreme case in the entire series.

658''"Fasten'er..."''
659
660Scanty and Kneesocks' pet dog (?) and Chuck's archrival since college. (Appears) much more competent than Chuck.
661----
662* CarFu: Has a full-on CarFu ''duel'' with Chuck in "Les Diaboliques" while Stocking and Kneesock ride shotgun and look pretty bored.
663* EvilCounterpart: To Chuck.
664* NighInvulnerability: Though not shown until nearly the end of the series, he can take just as much abuse as Chuck.
665* OneWingedAngel: [[spoiler: Transforms into a ''[[http://psg.wikia.com/wiki/File:Fastener_Dragon.PNG dragon]]'' by turning himself inside-out.]]
666* PintSizedPowerhouse: To an extent.
667* PokemonSpeak: Fastenaaa...
668* SinisterScythe: [[NaturalWeapon Fastener's limbs are apparently razor-sharp]]. Though he's too small to be a real threat to anything big he can easily tear Chuck to pieces, though that rarely even fazes Chuck.

673[[folder:Mayor Corset]]
674[[quoteright:235:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/corset0_699.png]]
675->'''Voiced by''': Creator/ShigeruChiba (Japanese), Creator/ChrisAyres (English)
676
677The mayor of Daten City and father of Scanty and Kneesocks. He is a [[BondageIsBad BD]][[CombatSadomasochist SM]] demon who wears a very tight corset. He seeks out the blood kin of Hell's Monkey, Brief, whose [[GagPenis penis]] acts as the key to Hell.
678----
679* AbusiveDad: He has an odd way of [[YouHaveFailedMe punishing his daughters when they fail]]; dropping them into toilet water. Not to mention forcibly using his daughters as weapons during the final battle. He probably isn't their actual father, though, and is implied to be their version of Garterbelt.
680* AllYourPowersCombined: When he assumes his full power form and attaches the Demon Sisters to his arms, he is able to summon and use much bigger, more powerful versions of their respective signature weapons.
681* ArmCannon: After bonding Scanty to one arm.
682* BigBad: He takes the position of the primary villain of the series after his introduction.
683* BladeBelowTheShoulder: After bonding Kneesocks to one of his arms.
684* BondageIsBad: As per his namesake, he wears an extremely tight and itchy corset at all times, and tends to tighten it even more when he gets overly emotional.
685* CombatSadomasochist: In "Bitch Girls: 2 Bitch", he tightens his corset so hard that his body swells into a OneWingedAngel form.
686* CreepyBlueEyes: He shifts between this and red eyes.
687* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: Similar to Chris Ayres' portrayal of Frieza, Corset has one in the dub.
688* EvilBrit: He has a slight British accent.
689* EvilCounterpart: Both he and Garterbelt have a heavy bondage theme, and have X-shaped scars on the opposite sides of their chests.
690* EvilSoundsRaspy: In the dub, he has a raspy voice.
691* GlasgowGrin: When not in public, he pulls his lips back with hooks which gives him quite a bony-looking face.
692* GrowingMusclesSequence: He can tighten his corset so much that this apparently happens.
693* KnightOfCerebus: [[LaughablyEvil While he is still a somewhat comedic villain]], the show becomes significantly darker when he appears. He is more competent than his subordinates, his plan is to release an EldritchAbomination to take over Earth and Heaven, and most importantly he takes action while Stocking is [[PutOnABus on a bus]] and Panty is [[BroughtDownToNormal depowered]], which allows him to inflict a DarkestHour the likes of which had never before been seen on the show.
694* MayorPain: The Wilkins. Not only he is the mayor of Daten City, he's also the series's BigBad.
695* NotQuiteDead: He is destroyed in "Bitch Girls: 2 Bitch", but shortly after respawns from Brief's penis in the form of a hopping blob.
696* PaperThinDisguise: He dons a slightly more humanoid but still ObviouslyEvil appearance in public. The "crappy disguise that works" part is subverted when Brief instantly recognizes him when he reappears in his demonic form.
697* PurpleIsPowerful: He is a tyrannical mayor with purple skin.
698* TheSocialDarwinist: Implies himself to be one with this line:
699-->'''Corset''': The weak wear the chains, and the strong wield the whip!
700* VillainWithGoodPublicity: In spite of his daughters being fairly blatant about their demonic nature, notably starting a demonic gunfight in the middle of a ballroom filled with the city's social elite...
701* WalkingSpoiler: He's in the "spoiler characters" section for a reason. His appearances in the show are few and far between, and none of them actually reveal anything about him other than his being the employer of Scanty and Kneesocks until the very last episodes of the show.

703
704[[folder:Judgement]]
705Judgement, definitely God, rules in heaven and gives angels like Panty and Stocking their orders through holy men such as Garterbelt. She uses flashes of lightning to send scraps of paper with messages on them for their next assignment, and uses Chuck as a medium to send them through.
706----
707* ArtShift: Is portrayed by a real life model.
708* DivineGenderFlip: She's supposed to be {{God}}.
709* DivineParentage: Panty and Stocking refer to Judgement as mother. Although whether it's just because she's called the Holy Mother or if she actually birthed them is yet unknown.
710* TheFaceless: Only her legs are seen.
711* FinishingStomp: Stomps on Corset so he can return back to hell.
712* {{God}}: She rules in heaven and gives angels like Panty and Stocking their orders through holy men such as Garterbelt. She's been explicitly called the Holy Mother in [[https://imgur.com/a/BYTmk one of the mangas]], implying that she's a genderbent version of the [[{{UsefulNotes/Christianity}} Holy Father]].
713* StockingFiller: She appears to wear white panties, stockings, and a garterbelt.
