5 Shocking New Characters In The New PANTY & STOCKING With GARTERBELT Revival (And What Their Roles Mean For Daten City)
The long-awaited return of Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt is finally here, and it’s more chaotic and controversial than ever before. After over a decade of silence, the "New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT" project, spearheaded by the legendary director Hiroyuki Imaishi and animated by Studio Trigger, has delivered on its promise of a fresh, vulgar, and visually stunning sequel. The new series, which premiered in Japan on July 9, 2025, has introduced a host of new, bizarre, and highly memorable characters that are already shaking up the dynamics of Daten City and the never-ending battle against the Ghosts. This article dives deep into the latest additions to the cast, revealing their identities, their shocking roles, and how they fit into the new, Trigger-era storyline.
The transition of the franchise rights from GAINAX to Studio Trigger has injected a new wave of creative energy, ensuring the signature style—a blend of Western cartoon aesthetics and hyper-violent anime action—remains intact. While the main cast of Panty Anarchy, Stocking Anarchy, and Garterbelt have returned to their profane duties, the arrival of new celestial and demonic entities suggests the stakes for Heaven and Hell are higher than ever, especially following the original series' infamous cliffhanger ending. Get ready to meet the new faces of anarchy and perversion.
The Returning Core Cast and Creative Team
Before diving into the new blood, it is essential to acknowledge the established figures who are back to cause mayhem. The new project, often colloquially referred to as "Panty and Stocking Season 2" by fans, brings back the core creative team that made the original a cult classic.
- Director: Hiroyuki Imaishi (Known for Kill la Kill, Gurren Lagann, Promare)
- Studio: Studio Trigger (The spiritual successor to the core GAINAX team)
- Japanese Voice Cast Updates: The new series features a completely new Japanese voice cast, signaling a fresh start:
- Panty Anarchy: Arisa Ogasawara
- Stocking Anarchy: Mariya Ise
- Garterbelt: Koji Ishii
- Briefers Rock: Tetsu Inada
- English Voice Cast Updates: The English dub also features new talent:
- Panty Anarchy: Courtney Lin
- Stocking Anarchy: Cristina Valenzuela
The main antagonists, the Demon Sisters Scanty and Kneesocks, along with their pet Fastener, are also confirmed to return, ensuring the rivalry between Heaven's angels and Hell's demons continues to drive the plot.
5 Shocking New Characters Shaking Up Daten City
The "New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT" project has wasted no time in introducing a colorful array of new entities, ranging from rival angels to bizarre, one-off antagonists. These characters not only expand the lore of Daten City but also provide new challenges and comedy gold for the Anarchy sisters.
1. Gunsmith Bitch (The Underwear Weapon Specialist)
Gunsmith Bitch is arguably the most talked-about new character, introduced dramatically in Episode 6 of the new series. Her name alone is a clear signal that the show is not pulling any punches with its signature provocative naming conventions.
- Role: A highly skilled, underground armorer who specializes in creating weapons from underwear—a direct parallel to Panty and Stocking’s own abilities to transform their lingerie into powerful guns (Backlace) and swords (Stripes).
- Persona: She is a character of duality, known to operate under two distinct alter-egos. One is a seemingly quiet, "geek girl" persona, while the other is a loud, over-the-top "Gyaru" (or "gal") persona, which is a Japanese fashion subculture known for its exaggerated Western-style features like bleached blonde hair.
- Significance: Her existence as a human (or human-like entity) with the ability to manipulate lingerie into weapons suggests that the Anarchy sisters may not be the only ones with this unique power. She could serve as a recurring weapons dealer, a rival, or even a temporary ally, providing the sisters with new, custom-made tools for their Ghost-hunting missions.
2. Polyester (The Older Angel Brother)
The arrival of the "Angel Brothers" marks a major shift, as Panty and Stocking are no longer the only angels operating in Daten City. Polyester and his twin brother Polyurethane were newly dispatched from Heaven, likely to either assist the Anarchy sisters or, more probable given the nature of the show, to compete with and judge them.
- Role: One of the two new twin angels sent from Heaven. He is the older of the two brothers.
- Voice Actor: Junya Enoki, a prominent voice actor known for roles like Yuji Itadori in JUJUTSU KAISEN, which adds a significant layer of star power to the new cast.
- Significance: Their names, Polyester and Polyurethane, are a clear parody of synthetic fabrics, fitting perfectly with the show’s theme of turning mundane objects (especially clothing) into weapons. Their presence introduces a new dynamic of sibling rivalry and bureaucratic interference from Heaven, potentially creating a "good vs. bad" angel dynamic within the city.
3. Polyurethane (The Younger Angel Brother)
Completing the heavenly duo, Polyurethane is the younger, and perhaps more naive or excitable, half of the Angel Brothers.
- Role: The younger twin angel brother, sent from Heaven alongside Polyester.
- Significance: The "Poly Poly Brother" duo is set up to be a foil to Panty and Stocking. While the Anarchy sisters are crass, immoral, and utterly obsessed with sex and sweets, the new brothers will likely embody a more traditional, perhaps annoyingly pristine, version of what angels should be, leading to hilarious conflicts and misunderstandings. Their introduction was highlighted in a dedicated "Angel Brothers" character trailer.
4. Super Guy Jean (The Culture Vulture)
In a series known for its sharp, often vulgar, cultural satire, Super Guy Jean appears to be the latest target. This character is likely a one-off antagonist or a heavily parodied figure from a specific episode.
- Role: Described as a tall, blonde white man, his name "Jean" is a phonetic play on the Japanese word "Gaijin" (外人), which is a term for a foreigner.
- Persona: He is characterized by his intense, almost obsessive, longing for Japanese culture, a common trope that the series will undoubtedly skew for comedic effect.
- Significance: This character confirms that the new Studio Trigger project will retain the original’s penchant for biting satire, targeting modern social phenomena and cultural stereotypes with its signature over-the-top style.
5. Gominic Lubretto (The Mysterious Supporting Figure)
While details are scarce, the announcement of Gominic Lubretto as a new supporting character suggests the world of Daten City is expanding beyond the main angel/demon conflict.
- Role: A supporting character whose exact function in the plot remains unconfirmed, but he is voiced by Taiten Kusunoki.
- Significance: The introduction of new supporting figures like Gominic and the previously mentioned episode-specific characters (Baywalker and Dario Gyeongbu) is crucial for building topical authority and a richer, more populated world for the Anarchy sisters to destroy. He represents the growing roster of eccentric citizens or officials within Daten City.
The Future of Daten City and the Studio Trigger Takeover
The "New PANTY & STOCKING with GARTERBELT" project is a massive undertaking, not just a simple continuation. Studio Trigger’s acquisition of the rights and the return of Hiroyuki Imaishi solidify this as a true spiritual successor, rather than a mere "Season 2." The new 13-episode run, which began in July 2025, is poised to resolve the original series' notorious cliffhanger, where Stocking seemingly betrays Panty by revealing herself to be a demon.
The introduction of the Angel Brothers, Polyester and Polyurethane, directly addresses the need for new celestial figures in the wake of the Anarchy sisters' scandal. Are they there to replace Panty and Stocking, or are they simply new rivals for Garterbelt to manage? Furthermore, the existence of Gunsmith Bitch, a human-like figure capable of weaponizing lingerie, blurs the lines between the angelic and mortal realms, suggesting a deeper lore is at play.
Fans should expect the new series to maintain the high-octane action, crude humor, and vibrant animation style that made the original a masterpiece. With the new characters adding fresh conflict and the core team back to their old tricks, the revival is set to be one of the most talked-about anime events of the year. Keep an eye on Daten City—it’s about to get a whole lot dirtier.
