[00:04] ---
    The White Blood Cells struggled badly
    in the gonococci battle,
[00:08] ---
    drastically thinning their ranks.
[00:10] ---
    Right now, no one can save this world
    but you Killer T Cells!
[00:17] ---
    Helper T Cells.
[00:19] ---
    When notified of invading external enemies,
[00:22] ---
    they serve as commanders who formulate
    appropriate attack strategies,
[00:26] ---
    and they issue orders to Killer T Cells.
[00:29] ---
    CELL
[00:29] ---
    Foreign substance sighted.
[00:31] ---
    Killer T Cells.
[00:33] ---
    Deployed on the orders of a Helper T Cell.
[00:37] ---
    Professional killers who recognize
    and destroy foreign substances,
[00:40] ---
    such as virus-infected cells
    and Cancer Cells.
[00:45] ---
    It's time for you to show
    the cells residing here
[00:48] ---
    as well as the foolish viruses
    who dare throw down the gauntlet...
[00:51] ---
    Show them that we T Cells
    are the most powerful of all!
[00:58] ---
    Work!
[02:38] ---
    EPISODE 5:
    OVERWORK, HAIR LOSS,
    AND DELIRIUM
[02:39] ---
    Here's today's oxygen. Stamp this, please.
[02:43] ---
    There you go.
    Thanks for your hard work.
[02:44] ---
    RECEIVED
[02:46] ---
    Thank you very much.
[02:47] ---
    - Hey, hold up a second.
    - Yes?
[02:49] ---
    Is it just me,
    or are you looking more manly lately?
[02:52] ---
    Huh? You really think so?
[02:54] ---
    Oh my! Seems to me like you're even looking
    more gallant than before!
[02:59] ---
    Well, lately, I've been starting to feel
    a little more confident about my job.
[03:04] ---
    What are you talking about?
[03:06] ---
    I hate to break it to you,
    but I'm still not getting nearly enough oxygen!
[03:09] ---
    So keep 'em coming, got that?
[03:11] ---
    R-Right!
[03:23] ---
    So, this is a hair root.
[03:25] ---
    Hair root.
[03:27] ---
    The part of a hair embedded under the skin.
    The tissue where hair is developed.
[03:34] ---
    I've come to deliver your oxygen!
[03:36] ---
    Hey, thanks for your hard work.
[03:38] ---
    Okay, if you could put
    one of them down over there...
[03:41] ---
    Sure!
[03:48] ---
    And just leave the other one over there.
[03:51] ---
    U-Uh, right.
[03:56] ---
    Did we surprise you?
[03:58] ---
    We Hair Matrix Cells make hair
    by dividing over and over.
[04:04] ---
    Hair Matrix Cells.
[04:05] ---
    They receive nutrients and oxygen from the
    hair papilla, and divide to produce hair.
[04:12] ---
    Even if he's sick or burdened with stress,
[04:16] ---
    we still have to keep producing hair
    on a constant basis.
[04:19] ---
    It sure sounds like a tough job.
[04:21] ---
    Hey, it's what we know.
    From where I stand...
[04:24] ---
    delivering oxygen day in and day out
    like you guys seems a lot tougher.
[04:29] ---
    Pigment Cell! This part's still white!
[04:33] ---
    Oh, sorry about that!
    I'll be right there.
[04:39] ---
    Pigment Cell.
[04:41] ---
    Also known as melanin, this cell produces
    the pigment that hair color is based on.
[04:48] ---
    There are all kinds of jobs in this world.
[04:52] ---
    All right! Let's go!
[05:06] ---
    White Blood Cell...
[05:11] ---
    It's distracting to be watched.
[05:14] ---
    S-Sorry!
[05:18] ---
    You still haven't healed up yet.
    Are you sure you should be exercising so hard?
[05:23] ---
    This is nothing. It's rehab for me.
[05:27] ---
    It's just not in my nature to sit still.
[05:29] ---
    But...
[05:31] ---
    The gonococci battle left the White Blood Cells
    short-handed. I have to get back into action soon.
[05:39] ---
    Well, please don't overdo it.
[05:41] ---
    Right.
[05:43] ---
    I guess I'll be on my way now.
[05:45] ---
    Come to think of it,
[05:47] ---
    you really helped me out the other day.
[05:51] ---
    What you said really saved me.
[05:54] ---
    Pus is proof that White Blood Cells
    fought with their lives on the line!
[05:58] ---
    Even if others fear them and find fault with them,
    they never say a word of complaint.
[06:05] ---
    They go on fighting for this body. For us cells.
    It's proof that White Blood Cell fought for us!
[06:11] ---
    So, how could it be dirty?
[06:15] ---
    Thanks to you,
    I was able to fight to the end. Thanks.
[06:19] ---
    O-Oh, hey, please!
[06:21] ---
    Just watching you and the other cells fight so hard
    in this deplorable code black environment
[06:28] ---
    made me realize that I have to give it
    my all, too! That's why...
[06:32] ---
    Wait, sorry if I sound arrogant!
    All I want to say is...
[06:38] ---
    let's keep working together
    to build a great world!
[06:42] ---
    Yeah.
[06:44] ---
    Let's do that.
[06:48] ---
    LYMPHATIC VESSEL
[06:57] ---
    Someone's having a good time, I see.
[07:01] ---
    Thanks to that pathetic fight you White Blood Cells
    put up against the gonococci,
[07:06] ---
    we have to go into battle
    every single day now.
[07:09] ---
    You don't have to be that way! White Blood Cell
    put everything on the line to fight hard—
[07:13] ---
    It's all right.
[07:15] ---
    There's no question that we're putting
    a lot of strain on the Killer T Cells.
[07:20] ---
    So, it's not lost on you, then.
[07:22] ---
    Whoops! We don't have time to chat
    with a useless cell like you. Let's go.
[07:33] ---
    White Blood Cell...
[07:35] ---
    Don't look at me like that.
[07:37] ---
    No matter what anyone says to me,
    as long as there's peace in this world, it's all good.
[07:41] ---
    I'm just going to do what I can do
    for the sake of that peace. That's all.
[07:48] ---
    I guess you're right.
[07:52] ---
    Invasion of foreign substance in the blood vessels
    near the nasal cavity detected!
[07:55] ---
    Send out the Killer T Cells now!
[07:58] ---
    But they just returned from that battle
    with the virus-infected cells.
[08:03] ---
    After fighting on consecutive days,
    the Killer T Cells' exhaustion is building up.
[08:07] ---
    Maybe you could at least request backup
    from the White Blood Cells and Macrophages—
[08:11] ---
    There's no need for that!
[08:13] ---
    The Killer T Cells
    are the Lymphocytes' elite forces!
[08:17] ---
    This body's last line of defense
    against outside enemies.
[08:20] ---
    Even if they're suffering
    from built-up fatigue,
[08:22] ---
    this is a golden opportunity for them to
    flex their muscles as the all-powerful T Cells!
[08:28] ---
    As long as a foreign substance exists
    in this world, our job is to eliminate it! That's it—
[08:35] ---
    Are you all right?
[08:36] ---
    Commander Helper T,
    you should get some rest, too.
[08:39] ---
    Shut up! Don't order me around!
[08:42] ---
    To fight as long as we're able to...
[08:45] ---
    it's for the sake of this world!
[08:47] ---
    Mobilize, Killer T Cells!
[08:49] ---
    Eliminate, eliminate, eliminate, eliminate
    those foreign substances out of existence!
[08:56] ---
    If push comes to shove,
    we've got an ace-in-the-hole.
[09:00] ---
    PLATELETS
[09:04] ---
    Eliminate the foreign substances.
    Eliminate the foreign substances.
[09:07] ---
    Eliminate the foreign substances.
    Eliminate the foreign substances.
[09:13] ---
    The Killer T Cells aren't like their usual selves.
[09:17] ---
    They were kind of scary!
[09:19] ---
    Huh? Those Killer T Cells
    always had scary faces!
[09:24] ---
    But it seemed like something
    was goading them on.
[09:28] ---
    Don't worry about other cells!
    Just work!
[09:31] ---
    - Okay.
    - Okay.
[09:36] ---
    Did you hear? Thanks to the Killer T Cells
    coming up big again,
[09:39] ---
    the virus that invaded the nasal cavity
    just got destroyed.
[09:43] ---
    Amazing.
[09:45] ---
    But doesn't it seem like the Killer T Cells
    are being overworked lately?
[09:50] ---
    I'm sure there isn't a single cell in this body
    who isn't being overworked.
[09:56] ---
    Here, too, huh?
[09:57] ---
    The blood vessel's are clogged up
    with bad cholesterol.
[10:01] ---
    These days, the circulation in the crown is so bad,
    it takes a huge effort to get to the hair roots.
[10:07] ---
    All of you working near the crown...
[10:10] ---
    This is Helper T Cell.
[10:11] ---
    What's this?
[10:13] ---
    There's some ongoing trouble in the crown
    at this time, but the Killer T Cells have mobilized.
[10:19] ---
    Sorry to cause you all worry...
[10:21] ---
    but let's do our jobs
    to eliminate the enemy without fail!
[10:26] ---
    Trouble in the crown area?
[10:28] ---
    Maybe a potent virus snuck in.
[10:31] ---
    Oh well, if the Killer T Cells are on it,
    we should be fine.
[10:37] ---
    I guess so.
[10:42] ---
    Hey, this capillary over here looks viable!
[10:46] ---
    PORES
    HAIR ROOT
[10:47] ---
    Kinda hot in here, isn't it?
[10:49] ---
    Were the hair roots always like this?
[10:51] ---
    No, I was just here,
    and it wasn't like this at all.
[10:56] ---
    Hot!
[10:58] ---
    Wh-What's going on here?
[11:02] ---
    Is this hair root inflamed?
[11:10] ---
    Is this hair root inflamed?
[11:18] ---
    Help...
[11:19] ---
    us...
[11:21] ---
    Hair Matrix Cell!
[11:22] ---
    Are you all right?
[11:26] ---
    What the heck happened?
    Did you get attacked by a germ?
[11:30] ---
    It wasn't a germ or a virus.
[11:40] ---
    Killer T Cell?
[11:43] ---
    Thank goodness!
[11:44] ---
    Please help us! It looks
    like Hair Matrix Cell's under attack!
[11:48] ---
    Do something about this, will you?
[11:49] ---
    Sure, I'll eliminate the foreign substances.
[11:52] ---
    The foreign substances...
[12:00] ---
    What are you doing, Killer T Cell?
[12:04] ---
    What am I doing?
[12:05] ---
    Isn't it obvious?
[12:07] ---
    I'm eliminating foreign substances
    to protect this body from outside enemies!
[12:13] ---
    That's our job as Killer T Cells!
[12:21] ---
    What's going on here?
[12:24] ---
    Outside enemies?
[12:26] ---
    The Hair Matrix Cells are our friends!
[12:28] ---
    Why would you attack a cell
    who's on your side?
[12:32] ---
    I-I'm begging you to stop!
[12:35] ---
    What did we ever do to you?
[12:39] ---
    Out of my way!
    Are you a foreign substance, too?
[12:43] ---
    Pigment Cell! Are you okay?
[12:46] ---
    What in the world is...
[12:48] ---
    We don't have a clue, either.
    There are no outside enemies here.
[12:53] ---
    And yet, the Killer T Cells
    came out of nowhere, attacking us.
[12:57] ---
    And now, they're destroying this hair root.
[13:10] ---
    The hair is falling out!
[13:12] ---
    Oh... The fruits of our labor...
[13:17] ---
    Please, that's enough, Killer T Cell!
[13:20] ---
    Eliminate all foreign substances...
    eliminate all foreign substances...
[13:26] ---
    S-Somebody!
    Somebody, please stop them!
[13:30] ---
    Where's Helper T Cell?
[13:32] ---
    The one who gives all the orders...
    What's Helper T Cell doing?
[13:36] ---
    Foreign substances must be eliminated...
[13:38] ---
    Foreign substances must be eliminated!
[13:41] ---
    Hold on a second!
    Commander Helper T!
[13:44] ---
    Is that you, Dendritic Cell?
    What do you want?
[13:47] ---
    Dendritic Cells.
[13:49] ---
    Their role is to present bacteria
    that have invaded the body
[13:51] ---
    and fragments of viral infection cells
    as antigens,
[13:55] ---
    and to notify other Immune System Cells.
[13:59] ---
    Please cease the attack
    on the hair root for now!
[14:02] ---
    What did you say?
[14:03] ---
    There's a chance that you could be attacking
    the Hair Matrix Cells right now!
[14:07] ---
    Hair Matrix Cells?
    No way in hell!
[14:09] ---
    A cell that divides at that blistering pace...
    What else could it be but a Cancer Cell?
[14:13] ---
    Don't forget, Hair Matrix Cells
    also divide and multiply vigorously.
[14:18] ---
    If you could just check first—
[14:20] ---
    There's no time for that now!
[14:22] ---
    Under these stressful conditions,
[14:24] ---
    letting a single virus or Cancer Cell
    slip through would be catastrophic!
[14:28] ---
    We have to protect this body!
[14:31] ---
    Can you protect it?
    Can you carry this weight?
[14:37] ---
    Eliminate all foreign substances!
[14:38] ---
    Eradicate all red-flag characters
    from this body!
[14:46] ---
    The hair...
[14:47] ---
    The hair we created together is falling out.
[14:51] ---
    Spot baldness.
[14:53] ---
    It's triggered when the body's defenses,
    the Killer T Cells,
[14:57] ---
    mistakenly attack the hair root's auto antigens.
[15:03] ---
    It's an autoimmune disorder.
[15:05] ---
    Causes include psychological stress.
[15:10] ---
    Please stop!
[15:12] ---
    Scurrying around like mice!
[15:14] ---
    Is it you? Are you the Cancer Cell?
[15:16] ---
    I-I'm not!
[15:18] ---
    Eliminate!
[15:20] ---
    Nothing's getting through to him at all!
[15:23] ---
    H-He's totally lost it!
    Let's get out of here!
[15:28] ---
    No matter what anyone says to me,
    as long as there's peace in this world, it's all good.
[15:33] ---
    I'm just going to do what I can do
    for the sake of that peace. That's all.
[15:41] ---
    Let's deliver.
[15:44] ---
    We're going to deliver
    as much oxygen as we can!
[15:46] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?
    At a time like this?
[15:49] ---
    All the more at a time like this!
    If we do nothing, all the hair will end up falling out!
[15:54] ---
    We're going to deliver oxygen
    to the hair root and revitalize it!
[15:58] ---
    That's what we can do right now
    for the sake of the peace of this world!
[16:04] ---
    What are you doing?
    You still haven't wiped out those Cancer Cells?
[16:11] ---
    We're going to use our ace-in-the-hole.
[16:13] ---
    Ace-in-the-hole?
[16:15] ---
    We're secreting cytokines
    onto the Killer T Cells!
[16:18] ---
    But if you do that—
[16:19] ---
    Out of my way!
[16:22] ---
    We're the strongest cells,
    so we can't mess up!
[16:25] ---
    We have to wipe out all foreign substances
    from this body to protect it!
[16:30] ---
    Work, work, work until you drop!
[16:38] ---
    Cytokines.
[16:40] ---
    Substances used to stimulate
    or inhibit the actions of Immune Cells.
[16:45] ---
    Helper T Cells use cytokines
    to stimulate Killer T Cells.
[16:52] ---
    That's right.
    We've got to dig in and fight...
[16:56] ---
    To protect this body...
    To protect everyone...
[17:00] ---
    That's our...
[17:03] ---
    That's our job!
[17:08] ---
    Hey! This is looking really bad!
[17:11] ---
    There are still some intact hairs over here!
[17:15] ---
    Hey! Did you hear what I said?
    That's it! You're on your own now!
[17:19] ---
    Please bring the oxygen here!
[17:21] ---
    Let's protect this hair root together!
[17:40] ---
    We have to do the job that we can do!
[17:43] ---
    To work like our lives depend on it,
    to protect this body...
[17:47] ---
    we have to deliver this oxygen!
[17:51] ---
    That's it. That's what I like to see.
[17:54] ---
    Work! For the sake of this body!
[17:58] ---
    Killer T Cell's just seeing his own job
    through to the end, that's all!
[18:03] ---
    For this world, for us all...
[18:06] ---
    So, how... How did he end up like this?
[18:09] ---
    Hey, help!
[18:11] ---
    What's that?
[18:12] ---
    I don't know! When I tried to make a run for it,
    a whole bunch came tumbling in!
[18:19] ---
    We have arrived at our target destination.
[18:23] ---
    Wh-What the heck is that thing?
[18:25] ---
    Arrived.
[18:28] ---
    Target cell confirmed.
[18:31] ---
    Now eliminating.
[18:33] ---
    - What the cell...
    - Stand your ground!
[18:35] ---
    Foreign substances must be eliminated!
[18:40] ---
    Crap!
[18:49] ---
    Wh-What the cell is that?
[18:52] ---
    I found a match in my data!
    Those are steroids!
[18:55] ---
    Did you say "steroids"?
[18:59] ---
    Target cell confirmed.
[19:02] ---
    Now eliminating.
[19:04] ---
    Steroids.
[19:06] ---
    A medicine with powerful anti-inflammatory
    and immunosuppressive effects.
[19:11] ---
    Highly effective in suppressing
    allergic reactions.
[19:15] ---
    In the case of spot balding,
    steroids suppress cytokine-secreting T Cells.
[19:20] ---
    Back off!
    Why should we be eliminated?
[19:24] ---
    After all we've done for this body!
[19:28] ---
    Now eliminating.
[19:37] ---
    Let me go!
    Don't get in the way of my work!
[19:39] ---
    Let me go!
[19:41] ---
    Everyone, that way! Please deliver
    that oxygen now while you can!
[19:45] ---
    Let me go! I'm going to eliminate
    all foreign substances!
[19:48] ---
    It's up to us to get it done!
    It's up to us!
[19:54] ---
    Hey! It's dangerous to go near him!
[19:57] ---
    Killer T Cell...
[20:00] ---
    That's enough.
[20:02] ---
    You don't have to work anymore.
[20:06] ---
    Don't have to work?
[20:10] ---
    You've already worked more than enough
    to protect this world.
[20:15] ---
    There's no one
    who would ever fault you for that.
[20:20] ---
    Is that right?
[20:25] ---
    So, I don't have to work anymore, huh?
[20:32] ---
    I don't... have to work any...
[20:47] ---
    I believed that if I gave it my all
    and worked like crazy...
[20:51] ---
    then this deplorable,
    code black environment would get better.
[20:57] ---
    Wh-What happened to me?
[21:00] ---
    But is that really true, I wonder.
[21:08] ---
    WHITE BLOOD CELL
[21:09] ---
    All right.
[21:10] ---
    Did you hear about the spot balding incident
    with hair loss from the crown?
[21:15] ---
    Yeah, I heard.
[21:16] ---
    The T Cells went bonkers from overwork and
    started assaulting the Hair Matrix Cells, right?
[21:21] ---
    Seriously, what's going to happen to this body?
[21:29] ---
    Run!
[21:30] ---
    There's something in the urinary tract!
[21:35] ---
    The urine...
[21:41] ---
    It's turning bright red!
[21:46] ---
    Where is this world heading?
[23:19] ---
    PREVIEW
[23:19] ---
    This is the organ of silence.
[23:22] ---
