| Ever heard of the banned episode of Pokemon? Electric Soldier Porygon. Wikipedia: This episode was aired on Japanese television in December 16, 1997, this episode had flashing lights which caused 685 Japanese viewers have seizures. About 20 minutes into the episode, there was a scene in which Pikachu stops some vaccine missles with its Thunderbolt attack, resulting in a huge explosion that flashed red and blue lights REALLY fast. Although there were similar parts in the episode with red and blue flashes, an anime technique called "paki paki", this scene was extremely intense, for these flashes were extremely bright strobe lights, with blinks at a rate of about 12 Hz for 4 seconds in almost full screen. Viewers started to complain of blurred vision, headaches, dizziness and nausea. A few people even had seizures, blindness, convulsions and lost consciousness. Japan's Fire Defense Agency reported that a total of 310 boys, 375 girls were taken to hospitals by ambulances. Although many victims recovered during the ambulance trip, more than 150 of them were admitted to hospitals. Two people remained hospitalized for over 3 weeks. Some other people had seizures when parts of the scene were rebroadcast during news reports about the seizures. A frame of the scene that caused the seizures. - Spoiler:
Here is the youtube link to the scene that caused Japanese Viewers seizures. This can give you alittle headache, don't watch it if you have fever, or when your tired. Watch in your own risk. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-Ybd0Yby68&feature=related Please, I beg you if your prone to any seizures PLEASE DON'T WATCH IT... And if your going to watch this, please be sure you don't have your lights off, do NOT go close to the monitor. Watch in your own risk, it is NOT my fault if anything happens to you.. I'm warning you again. If your prone to ANY seizures PLEASE DO NOT watch.
