There is a widespread urban legend that claims the series has been banned in Hungary because an 8 year-old got himself killed by jumping out a window, thinking that a Kinton cloud would catch him. Other versions say that a kid tried to stop a car with a Kamehameha attack. However, there are no known reports to confirm these. In reality, the show was not banned but canceled because the strict former Hungarian media authorities forced the TV station it had aired on to give it an 18+ rating and push it to a post-midnight time-slot. The TV station decided to cancel the series instead because the rescheduling lead to a drop in viewership. It only lasted for 120 episodes and wasn't shown in the country again until 2012. The show's cancellation caused a great uproar, and one 14 year-old boy infamously threatened the channel with suicide if they didn't put it back onto screens. This might have been where the rumor originated from. There was also an incident in Turkey involving kids jumping off a balcony, which resulted in the temporary ban of the Pokémon (1997) animated show. This might also have contributed to the Hungarian rumor if people confused the two countries and series.
