**[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] ---**
No matter what the conditions,
you have to work without a word.
**[23:22] ---**
KIDNEYS
**[23:25] ---**
A one-centimeter stone...
**[23:25] ---**
KIDNEY STONES
**[23:27] ---**
What are we supposed to do?
**[23:28] ---**
What's wrong with complaining?
**[23:29] ---**
TEARS
**[23:31] ---**
Just listen to what they're trying to say!
**[23:31] ---**
KIDNEYS, KIDNEY STONES, AND TEARS
