Episode 12 was banned becuase it offended WWII Hiroshima survivors with the Alien Spell having radiation burns on thier bodies and having thier planet destroyed by nuclear war. It made the survivors fell uncomfortable as it brought back bad memories of the horrors of the war. So Tsuburaya locked it in a vault never to be seen again..the only way to see it is on the TNT english dubbed version of the show.
