An as yet unexplained Shinjuku mass fainting event which saw a large number of young women collapse and lose consciousness has bemused both authorities and the online masses.
A gathering – reportedly comprised of the members of a Meiji University tennis club – outside a Shinjuku theatre saw chaos ensue as female members of the group began collapsing in the street for no apparent reason.
Police and ambulances were soon in attendance, and there appear to have been no serious injuries – although “some of them did soil themselves,” it is said.
Male members of the same circle were apparently not severely affected, perhaps suggesting some good old-fashioned nineteenth century hysteria was at play.
The rather blasé attitude of police and bystanders to the incident has attracted almost as much attention as the reports themselves:
So far no official explanation has emerged – speculation (2ch has already expended tens of thousands of posts on the matter) seems to favour them being drugged or drunk, though many seem to feel that dropping down in the middle of the street and soiling themselves is rather too unusual to be explained by this.

They are vulnerable for some unconscious secks.
They're not corpses yet.
Japs love guro and corpse-fucking.
not really, thats more just parts of the internet
They're Japan's ancient traditions
Nanking was their biggest festival for it.
The internet is how to Japs spread it onto barbarian peoples.
let me remind you this

downvoting my comment won't help you baby otaku
Now is the time for Kudi to shine
But they're not conscious to dominate anyone.
I figure they would be too old to be interesting to you.
Apathy Syndrome.
let's gather in front of every school at 12 in case tartarus popped up.
All according to keikaku!! /
Keikaku Doori!
Nuclear Contamination!
Probably drugged by amateurs that messed up the timing.
Worst date-rapists in existence. Can't even get the timing right.
They probably expect people to do this through happiness in North Korea, when the Pig leader walks through a city, or he'll throw em in the gulags.
Why you keep using drugs?
A flash mob of some sort? Thats what it seems like to me. Interesting idea if it was.
I love the commitment of soiling themselves.
That must had been one hell of a manly fart
The only reasonable explanation I can think of.
must be coke, jack daniels and durian for breakfast
dats sexist
call in the Fringe team to investigate
Clearly this is the fault of the Wizard Aliens from the Bullshit dimension.
Either that or electromagnetic weapons test or both...
Proof of weapon is on Pic #2. That white sword so powerful that it causes girls to faint.
Thats just an embrella ... not a sword
No it's a lightsaber. Feel the force bro
dear diary,
Jackpot
Who else but Quagmire!!
But yeah glad the cops where there to stop....well whatever the heck this was.
Can confirm, automatically read in quagmire's voice
Giggity
I admit I had that voice go through my head
that show has fucked so many people up this generation... it realky should have stayed dead
They got drugged probably
Mostly likely they were drugged by someone. The other bizarre explanation would be work of the supernatural ._.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_hysteria#Characteristics
Weird o.O
O.o how is this possible??
It is like the placebo effect, someone believes that something is happening to her, another person sees it and believe that the same is happening to her too and so it goes.
This actually have physical effects and they actually feel whatever they think they should feel.
You describe an hypochondriac.
Mass hysteria needs some form of trigger and spreads. According to the article only a certain group of women was affected.
Also, the spreading only seems to work for feelings that are expressible. Fainting isn't exactly something you express.
My vote goes to mass hysteria. There are plenty of cases with similar characteristics in scenarios where drugging would not be possible or where the symptoms would simply be unexplained by it.
Yeah, a group of people, usually female, sudden begin, unexplained by real diseases/toxins/etc.
It's the Negaverse. Who else would cause only women to faint? It's a good thing Sailor Moon showed up when she did or males would have just exploded or something
It's the eroverse. Time stopped for a moment and a fat otaku raped them all before unpausing it.
its like that thing that happened in that murakami book I read.
Seems like Haruhi was bored again.
