The special begins with Miyuki Yadama<!--Yadama Miyuki?--> formally greeting the viewers while surrounded by Pokémon dolls. Miyuki mentions that the Pocket Monsters anime will be starting again soon. Miyuki then mentions the details of the incident and apologies for the issue and its effects on the viewers.
Professor Harding from Aston University, an expert on photoparoxysmal response provocation who helped establish the guidelines used by the British ITC, is invited into the studio to determine the cause of the problems found in Pokémon, and explain the medical backing of the guidelines established by TV Tokyo.
 
Also, the programme will begin with a greeting and apology by the President of TV Tokyo, the history of the incident, explanation of the video techniques used in episode 38 of Pokémon, and the announcement of the newly-developed "Anime Checker", a machine which detects and analyses video flicker.
Miyuki continues by discussing the hiatus and the reason why the anime was taken off the air, mentioning that research was conducted into how the incident occurred with the help of doctors, Japanese government officials, and the broadcasting stations. She highlights that the main cause of the issue was a scene where the colors red and blue were rapidly switched at a rate higher than 24 frames per second. She then notes early hypotheses that had been rejected, such as the effect of strong lights. She mentions that the research found that striped or swirling patterns and the color red should be used with care.
 
The scene then switches to a board with letters, drawings, and postcards from viewers in support of the anime. After focusing on two of the drawings, Miyuki thanks the viewers for the letters of encouragement. 
 
After the scene changes back, Miyuki makes a request for all viewers to watch television at a distance from the screen and in a room that is well lit. The special ends with a shot of the Pokémon around Miyuki.
