A Japanese loanword used in ACG (anime, comics, games) communities and internet slang to mean panties or underpants — specifically women's underwear in the context of anime and manga fan culture. The word is a Japanese phonetic borrowing of the English 'pants' (in British English, underwear). In fandom contexts, it carries playful or titillating connotations associated with fanservice tropes in anime. Widely recognised among Western anime fans and used in fan discussions, fan art captions, and memes.
The episode's 'accidental' pantsu shot had the fandom debating whether it was deliberate fanservice or just bad camera angles.
