    Lonely...
[00:06] ---
    Lonely!
[00:07] ---
    WHITE BLOOD CELL
[00:08] ---
    I-I won't let you get past me!
[00:11] ---
    Lonely... Lonely...
[00:20] ---
    You'd better get out of here now.
[00:23] ---
    White Blood Cell?
[00:25] ---
    That sexual intercourse
    just let in some gonococci!
[00:30] ---
    Lonely...
[00:32] ---
    We're lonely, see?
[00:37] ---
    Gonococci. The bacteria
    that causes gonorrhea.
[00:40] ---
    It proliferates at a blistering pace,
[00:42] ---
    and its incubation period
    is short, at 2 to 9 days.
[00:47] ---
    We'll hold them off here.
[00:49] ---
    Get yourselves to safety right now!
[00:51] ---
    O-Okay.
[00:53] ---
    White Blood Cell...
[00:56] ---
    Come on, let's get going.
[01:11] ---
    Lonely...
[01:14] ---
    Lonely...
[02:52] ---
    EPISODE 4:
    FRONT LINE, GONOCOCCI,
    AND CONFLICT
[02:55] ---
    Hey, Red Blood Cell...
[02:57] ---
    CELL
[02:58] ---
    We heard that we've been invaded
    by gonococci. Is that true?
[03:00] ---
    Yes. But it's not like I've actually seen them.
[03:04] ---
    I'm pretty sure that the White Blood Cells
    are exterminating them now.
[03:08] ---
    Is that right?
    But you'd better not let your guard down.
[03:11] ---
    Since they say that gonococci multiply
    at an insane speed!
[03:17] ---
    Come on! Get up and do your jobs!
[03:20] ---
    Does this seem like a good time
    to be sniveling?
[03:23] ---
    We don't want to!
    There's gonococci in this body, right?
[03:23] ---
    PLATELETS
[03:27] ---
    It would be so scary if they attacked us!
[03:30] ---
    I don't give a damn if you're scared,
    you little pieces of crap!
[03:34] ---
    Oh, jeez!
[03:35] ---
    You don't need to worry
    about the gonococci.
[03:38] ---
    Because the White Blood Cells are fighting them
    and taking care of them right now.
[03:43] ---
    Really?
[03:45] ---
    But what if those White Blood Cells
    end up losing?
[03:48] ---
    Don't worry. Those White Blood Cells
    are all unbelievably strong.
[03:54] ---
    They've rescued me
    more times than I can count.
[03:57] ---
    So, let's put our faith in them, okay?
[04:00] ---
    - Okay! Gotcha!
    - Okay! Gotcha!
[04:06] ---
    Hey, thanks.
[04:08] ---
    Not at all.
[04:10] ---
    Lonely...
[04:12] ---
    Lonely...
[04:14] ---
    What do we care if you're lonely?
[04:18] ---
    Lonely...
[04:21] ---
    Lonel—
[04:24] ---
    Lon—
[04:29] ---
    Dammit, there's no end in sight!
[04:31] ---
    Lonely!
[04:35] ---
    We're withdrawing for now!
[04:37] ---
    What? But I can still fight!
[04:39] ---
    It's no good!
    We're hopelessly outnumbered!
[04:42] ---
    Seriously?
[04:44] ---
    Everyone! We're withdrawing for now
    so we can regroup!
[04:48] ---
    Retreat! Retreat!
[05:00] ---
    Here's my report!
[05:01] ---
    The 3rd Platoon has retreated!
[05:03] ---
    The gonococci have advanced
    to Urethra Area 2!
[05:07] ---
    The gonococci is unstoppable.
[05:09] ---
    How can they multiply so fast?
[05:13] ---
    Tell me what's happening.
[05:15] ---
    The gonococci are still proliferating.
    They've expanded their forces further.
[05:20] ---
    The areas around the urethra and the prostrate
    are about to be taken over by the gonococci forces.
[05:26] ---
    What are they doing on the front lines?
    What's the status of the epididymis?
[05:30] ---
    It's still intact for now,
[05:31] ---
    but at this rate, it's only a matter of time
    before it falls to gonorrhea.
[05:35] ---
    Lonely... Lonely... Lonely...
[05:37] ---
    Gonorrhea.
[05:38] ---
    A sexually-transmitted disease.
[05:40] ---
    The infection rate is high,
    at 30% per sexual intercourse session.
[05:44] ---
    Left untreated, it will trigger
    inflammation of the epididymis.
[05:48] ---
    The testes will become swollen, blocking
    the sperm's pathway, potentially leading to sterility.
[05:53] ---
    I'm scared!
[05:54] ---
    It'll be fine. No need to worry.
[05:58] ---
    He shouldn't be having sex
    when his resistance is so low!
[06:04] ---
    This is all-out war!
[06:06] ---
    Summon the White Blood Cells
    to the lymph node!
[06:10] ---
    Attention, all White Blood Cells!
    Attention, all White Blood Cells!
[06:14] ---
    You are to report to the lymph node at once.
[06:17] ---
    What's wrong?
[06:18] ---
    It's no good. Stay away from here.
[06:21] ---
    They say it's crawling with gonococci.
    You'd better take the long way around.
[06:27] ---
    For crying out loud,
    what are the White Blood Cells doing?
[06:37] ---
    White Blood Cell...
[06:38] ---
    Hey, hey!
[06:39] ---
    They're covered in blood!
[06:41] ---
    If the White Blood Cells are here,
    does that mean the bacteria's nearby, too?
[06:44] ---
    Wh-White Blood Cell!
[06:46] ---
    Were you able to drive out the germs?
[06:50] ---
    Are you serious?
[06:53] ---
    Put yourselves in our shoes, will you?
    We have to come through these vessels every day!
[06:56] ---
    Hey, knock it off!
[06:58] ---
    It's your job as White Blood Cells to secure our
    routes so we can be safe delivering oxygen, right?
[07:03] ---
    He's right!
    Why don't you do your jobs right?
[07:06] ---
    Come on, protect us!
[07:09] ---
    How can you talk to us like that?
    You have no idea what kind of battle we're—
[07:13] ---
    Sorry. We're heading back to the lymph node
    to come up with a strategy as soon as possible.
[07:17] ---
    You can beat those gonococci, can't you?
[07:21] ---
    We're going to do our best.
[07:25] ---
    Hey! We're not done talking!
[07:27] ---
    Don't run away!
[07:28] ---
    Huh? It's not like we're running away, all right?
[07:31] ---
    Come on.
[07:36] ---
    Listen, you were out of line.
[07:38] ---
    Yeah, but if we run into those gonococci,
    there's nothing we can do.
[07:43] ---
    So, we need them to do their jobs.
[07:50] ---
    Take the critically injured over there.
[07:52] ---
    Everyone able to fight
    is to stand by for further orders.
[07:55] ---
    This will be the last showdown, huh?
[07:58] ---
    But...
[08:04] ---
    I've returned...
[08:06] ---
    Captain.
[08:07] ---
    So, you survived...
[08:08] ---
    1196.
[08:10] ---
    Yes. Somehow.
[08:13] ---
    We're in the middle of a brutal battle.
[08:15] ---
    You're lucky to have made it back alive.
[08:19] ---
    Attention, White Blood Cells.
[08:22] ---
    As I'm sure you all know,
[08:24] ---
    this body is about to be stricken with gonorrhea.
[08:28] ---
    The gonococci have invaded
    the areas surrounding the urethra...
[08:31] ---
    and are now closing in on the epididymis
    where the sperm are.
[08:35] ---
    Are we going to continue to let them
    get away with such tyranny?
[08:38] ---
    No, sir!
[08:40] ---
    Then, put your lives in my hands!
[08:44] ---
    Yes, sir!
[08:46] ---
    This is a noble battle that we'll be
    waging for the sake of this body.
[08:49] ---
    Put your lives on the line to annihilate
    every last one of the enemy!
[08:54] ---
    Yes, sir!
[09:02] ---
    Your job is to be at my beck and call.
[09:07] ---
    The higher-ups have no clue
    about the front lines.
[09:14] ---
    Here, these are your next deliveries.
[09:17] ---
    The urinary tract,
    the bladder, the prostrate...
[09:20] ---
    Huh? But those are all
    in the lower body!
[09:24] ---
    Yeah, well, ever since the gonococci invasion,
[09:26] ---
    everyone's been avoiding
    deliveries near the urethra.
[09:29] ---
    Hey, then, me, too—
[09:30] ---
    Rookies have no refusal rights.
[09:33] ---
    We leave the dangerous jobs to the rookies.
    That's how it's always been done.
[09:36] ---
    Come on.
[09:38] ---
    Enough of your whining!
[09:40] ---
    If you have any complaints,
    take them to the White Blood Cells!
[09:44] ---
    If they would've wiped out the gonococci,
    we wouldn't be in all this danger.
[09:49] ---
    But the White Blood Cells are fighting, right?
    On the front lines?
[09:53] ---
    What else would they be doing?
    The only ability they have is to fight.
[10:00] ---
    I'll go.
[10:02] ---
    Oh yeah? Thank goodness
    you have some sense!
[10:05] ---
    Uh, no, no, no!
    I didn't say a word about going!
[10:08] ---
    Don't worry. He and I
    will make those deliveries for sure.
[10:11] ---
    Hey! Speak for yourself!
[10:21] ---
    Captain, please wait.
[10:24] ---
    You...
[10:25] ---
    Please take me, too.
[10:27] ---
    You dummy! You just got beaten up
    by a gonococcus! You're in no shape to fight!
[10:30] ---
    I'm all right now.
[10:33] ---
    You should back off.
    You'll only get in our way.
[10:36] ---
    You don't have to worry about me!
[10:38] ---
    Worst case scenario, I'll at least take
    one or two of the gonococci down with me!
[10:42] ---
    Captain, please!
[10:43] ---
    Please let me fight, too!
[10:51] ---
    All of you, please listen
    to what I have to say.
[10:55] ---
    We're being flooded
    with reports on the battle.
[10:57] ---
    Some of you may have
    actual combat experience.
[11:01] ---
    I know you're each putting up a good fight.
[11:03] ---
    However, the gonococci's proliferation speed
    is far greater than our phagocytosis speed.
[11:11] ---
    In other words, gonorrhea...
[11:15] ---
    has no chance of healing naturally!
[11:19] ---
    Captain, does that mean...
[11:24] ---
    I'll be honest with you.
[11:25] ---
    This fight...
[11:28] ---
    is a losing battle.
[11:32] ---
    I'll be honest with you.
[11:34] ---
    This fight...
[11:37] ---
    is a losing battle.
[11:45] ---
    Shut up!
[11:47] ---
    The captain isn't done talking.
[11:53] ---
    Even if there's no hope of winning,
    we're going to go on fighting.
[11:57] ---
    That is the mission of those born
    as White Blood Cells.
[12:00] ---
    To devour all bacteria out of existence
    with no fear of death.
[12:04] ---
    That's our pride. But...
[12:07] ---
    don't die in vain.
[12:10] ---
    There are other ways that you can be useful
    to this world by surviving.
[12:14] ---
    It's a given that you'll fight valiantly.
[12:16] ---
    But when in doubt, I want you to choose
    the more likely path to survival.
[12:23] ---
    This could very well
    turn into a prolonged battle.
[12:26] ---
    If anything happens to us,
    who will protect the other cells?
[12:31] ---
    For now, value that life of yours.
[12:35] ---
    Understood.
[12:40] ---
    You're thinking that what I just said
    was unbecoming of a captain, right?
[12:43] ---
    No. I had the same view as you.
[12:49] ---
    TO THE URETHRA
    THIS WAY
[12:50] ---
    Hey, are we really going, then?
[12:53] ---
    You're crazy, you know that?
[12:56] ---
    Didn't you hear that the urethra
    is a hellhole of gonococci now?
[12:59] ---
    We'll be fine. White Blood Cell
    will take care of them for us.
[13:03] ---
    If White Blood Cell's job
    is to drive out bacteria,
[13:06] ---
    then delivering oxygen to cells
    is the Red Blood Cells' job.
[13:10] ---
    No matter what the situation is,
    we have to fulfill our duty!
[13:16] ---
    Dammit, all right.
[13:20] ---
    You've changed somehow, you know?
[13:23] ---
    Like, you've gotten
    kind of dependable, I guess.
[13:26] ---
    Is that so?
[13:27] ---
    When it comes to White Blood Cell,
    you totally go through this personality change.
[13:31] ---
    Huh? R-Really?
[13:35] ---
    What's this?
[13:41] ---
    It's the White Blood Cells!
[13:43] ---
    What? Then, this is...
[13:45] ---
    pus?
[13:47] ---
    Pus.
[13:48] ---
    An opaque, viscous fluid
    produced at the site of inflammation.
[13:52] ---
    Composed of White Blood Cells, blood serum, etc.,
    it also contains tissue debris and dead bacteria.
[14:00] ---
    N-No way.
[14:05] ---
    Are you okay?
[14:06] ---
    Hey, this place is bad news!
    Let's get out of here!
[14:09] ---
    Lonely...
[14:12] ---
    Hey, did you just say something?
[14:15] ---
    No, I didn't.
[14:17] ---
    I'm lonely, see?
[14:21] ---
    Watch out!
[14:32] ---
    W-We have to...
[14:35] ---
    hold them off.
[14:39] ---
    So, the gonococci have come this far.
[14:42] ---
    Macrophage!
[14:44] ---
    Macrophage.
[14:45] ---
    A type of White Blood Cell.
[14:47] ---
    One of its duties is to clean up
    dead cells and bacteria.
[14:52] ---
    What are you doing
    in a dangerous place like this?
[14:55] ---
    W-We have a delivery to make up ahead.
[14:59] ---
    I see. If you're planning to move on,
    brace yourselves.
[15:04] ---
    It's hell back there
    in the arteria profunda penis.
[15:10] ---
    Lonely...
[15:12] ---
    Lonely!
[15:14] ---
    Hold your ground!
    Annihilate the enemy!
[15:17] ---
    Devour them out of existence!
[15:19] ---
    Phagocytosis or opsonic action.
[15:22] ---
    The process...
[15:23] ---
    by which White Blood Cells and the like engulf bacteria
    and other foreign substances, and break them down.
[15:29] ---
    Lonely!
[15:31] ---
    Unbelievable proliferation rate!
[15:33] ---
    They just keep increasing
    more and more!
[15:48] ---
    The cell wall's so hard!
[15:50] ---
    Cell wall.
[15:52] ---
    The armor-like structure
    found on the cells of plants and bacteria.
[15:57] ---
    It's durable and repairs itself swiftly.
[16:00] ---
    Unless we do something about that...
[16:02] ---
    it will be impossible for us
    to overtake their proliferation rate!
[16:06] ---
    Hey there, White Blood Cells.
    Why don't we all become friends?
[16:10] ---
    What did you say?
[16:12] ---
    I know all about it.
[16:14] ---
    That the other cells are scared of you
[16:17] ---
    and treat you all like outcasts.
[16:19] ---
    The truth is, you're lonely, aren't you?
[16:23] ---
    Shut up!
[16:31] ---
    Captain!
[16:32] ---
    Lonely!
[16:37] ---
    Hey...
[16:38] ---
    let's turn back after all.
[16:40] ---
    I'm going to finish the job
    even if I have to do it alone.
[16:43] ---
    Huh? You're telling me
    to turn back on my own now?
[16:47] ---
    Hey, wait up, will you?
[16:51] ---
    Lonely...
[16:53] ---
    Lonely...
[16:55] ---
    I'm lonely, see?
[17:01] ---
    White Blood Cell...
[17:05] ---
    How pitiful is that? To be ostracized
    by the other cells, to be hated by them...
[17:10] ---
    Useless even when it comes
    to your only redeeming feature, battle.
[17:14] ---
    And to end up in a pile of filthy pus!
[17:20] ---
    Run.
[17:23] ---
    Hurry! Run!
[17:25] ---
    She's right. Let's get out of here.
    There's nothing you and I can do here—
[17:28] ---
    It's not dirty.
[17:30] ---
    Huh?
[17:31] ---
    Huh?
[17:33] ---
    Pus is proof that the White Blood Cells
    fought with their lives on the line!
[17:37] ---
    Even if others fear them and find fault with them,
    they never say a word of complaint.
[17:44] ---
    They go on fighting for this body. For us cells.
    It's proof that White Blood Cell fought for us!
[17:50] ---
    So, how could it be dirty?
[17:53] ---
    How insolent. What can a puny
    Red Blood Cell like you do?
[17:58] ---
    I deliver oxygen!
[17:59] ---
    Just like White Blood Cell,
    I put my life on the line to deliver oxygen!
[18:10] ---
    What the cell is this?
[18:11] ---
    My cell wall is disintegrating!
[18:14] ---
    Is this...
[18:15] ---
    I have a report!
[18:17] ---
    It seems that an antibiotic has been delivered
    from the mouth via the esophagus!
[18:21] ---
    Antibiotic...
[18:22] ---
    Penicillin, then?
[18:24] ---
    Penicillin.
[18:25] ---
    The world's first antibiotic.
[18:28] ---
    Works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis.
[18:36] ---
    Since penicillin only affects
    bacterial cell walls,
[18:40] ---
    it leaves human cells unharmed.
[18:43] ---
    I'm lonely.
[18:45] ---
    I have to multiply
    so I'll have more friends!
[18:52] ---
    White Blood Cell!
[18:56] ---
    Captain!
[18:57] ---
    I've got this! You protect
    the Red Blood Cells and head to the back!
[19:01] ---
    But if we do that, you'll...
[19:04] ---
    Let the Red Blood Cells finish their job.
[19:07] ---
    I want you to create a future
    for this world by surviving!
[19:11] ---
    Come with us!
    Captain, you should survive, too!
[19:15] ---
    That's what I'm planning to do. Now go!
[19:21] ---
    We'll clear the path open.
[19:23] ---
    We're going to run straight through.
[19:25] ---
    All right!
[19:32] ---
    Now that their cell walls are gone,
[19:34] ---
    we can destroy them
    faster than they can multiply.
[19:39] ---
    This is our chance to strike back!
[19:41] ---
    We're going to show them
    how powerful we White Blood Cells are!
[19:44] ---
    Annihilate them!
[19:51] ---
    Let's see it through to the end.
[19:55] ---
    This is...
[19:56] ---
    the White Blood Cells' job!
[20:06] ---
    We've lost scores of our friends
    in today's battle.
[20:11] ---
    Still...
[20:12] ---
    thanks to your hard work,
    the gonococci have been wiped out!
[20:17] ---
    Therefore, I declare
    the gonorrhea completely cured!
[20:22] ---
    What's going to happen
    to the White Blood Cells who passed away?
[20:25] ---
    They'll be eliminated as a pus
    from the urethra.
[20:29] ---
    Captain...
[20:35] ---
    E-Excuse me!
[20:38] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[20:40] ---
    For asking if you were really doing
