For a few weeks one of the sequences that appear in the anime of Lycoris Recoil generated complaints and this led to mild censorship. In this appear the protagonists of the anime, Chisato Nishikigi and Takina Inoue, smoking.
Contrary to what one might think, they do not have cigarettes in their mouths but flowers. It is a peculiar scene, and in a certain artistic way. But there is a problem with this representation and it is the plant that appears.
It is the Lycoris radiata, the flower of hell or the red spider lily. The problem with depicting Chisato and Takina smoking it is that it’s toxic.
We Recommend: Lycoris Recoil: Chisato Cosplay will make you watch anime again.
This sequence is used to delimit the division of an episode, and specifically, with the eleventh, which is called ‘The diamond cuts the diamond’.
So the team in charge of the anime decided to change it. This modification will apply to both the streaming version and the one that will be released on Blu-ray.
This censorship or change of the anime of Lycoris Recoil it will prevent someone from being inspired by it and ending up intoxicated. The committee behind the anime noted that the changes, at least in the video on demand service, will be gradual.
And what will take the place of the scene of the girls smoking? Well, they will reappear but in a new illustration. Only the opening animation where part of the scene appears will not change.
How toxic is the Lycoris Recoil flower that censorship is necessary?
Since before the departure of Lycoris Recoil and its censorship is known for the toxicity of Lycoris radiata. The chemical components of all parts of the plant are poisonous.
Its ingestion can cause mild effects such as vomiting and diarrhea, while in extreme cases it causes seizures and even death. The plant is toxic not only to humans but even to animals.
The fact that Lycoris radiata is poisonous is one of the reasons why it is often planted, as it resists attacks by deer and rodents. It is very popular in gardens and parks.
In Japan there are several traditions and legends associated with it, such as that it is the plant that grows in hell. The fact that it blooms next to cemeteries makes it a common flower in funeral rites. All of that makes her popular in manga and anime.
