From a Planet With Love

From a Planet With Love (遊星より愛をこめて Yūsei yori ai wo komete) is the twelfth episode of Ultraseven.

Plot

A number of young ladies have fallen ill and all seem to be wearing peculiar looking metallic watches. An all male group of space vampires from the planet Spehlia (like Spee-lia) are on Earth seeking the blood of young girls. They use these watches as a means of draining the blood from their victims in a bid to save their race after some unspecified space war. After a small boy puts on his sisters watch, the blood encapsulated within turns out to be of even better interest to the aliens. Turning their attention towards children, the otherworldly bloodsuckers devise methods to entice kids into their grasp.

Trivia

• This episode was banned in Japan because it offended hibakusha (victims of the atomic bombings) due to the design of the Alien Spell, which resembles an atom bomb survivor, complete with keloid scars. Hibakusha were subject to terrible discrimination in Japan and the episode was regarded to be in poor taste. However, the episode was shown in the TNT English dub. The episode was omitted when the show was released on DVD and Blu-ray in the United States.
