[00:19] ---
    The internal security here is a total joke!
[00:22] ---
    All right! I'm lovely today, too! If I may say so
    myself, I'm just too cute for a germ!
[00:27] ---
    And how adorable!
[00:30] ---
    There's no Immune Cell that could possibly
    attack such an adorable germ like me!
[00:34] ---
    When I catch him off guard with my cuteness,
    I'm going to go, "Blam! Pow!"
[00:39] ---
    It's like I've taken over this body!
[00:45] ---
    Die, you damn germ!
[00:50] ---
    WHITE BLOOD CELL
[02:34] ---
    This is the inside of a human body.
[02:47] ---
    Hello, Macrophage!
[02:50] ---
    Oh my!
[02:52] ---
    Good afternoon!
[02:53] ---
    FRAGILE
    CONDENSED GAS
[02:54] ---
    I see that you're full of energy today, too.
[02:56] ---
    Thank you very much!
[02:59] ---
    And I see that you're working hard
    as a good senpai!
[03:02] ---
    No, I wouldn't go that far!
    No, really, seriously—
[03:09] ---
    You're in the way! What are you doing,
    wandering around like this? Are you lost again?
[03:13] ---
    I'm so sorry, Killer T Cell.
[03:20] ---
    We're the invincible T Cells!
[03:23] ---
    Are you okay, Senpai?
[03:27] ---
    Hey, I'm fine!
[03:28] ---
    ARTERY
[03:29] ---
    Roughly 37 trillion cells are working energetically
    and with all their might again today.

[03:45] ---
    EPISODE 1:
    BUMP
[03:46] ---
    "Bump."
[03:50] ---
    Th-Th-Th-Thank you... for waiting!
[03:56] ---
    CELL
[03:57] ---
    I've come to deliver
    your nutrients and oxygen!
[04:01] ---
    Hey, I appreciate your hard work.
[04:03] ---
    CELL
[04:05] ---
    TWITCH
[04:05] ---
    Thank you very much!
[04:05] ---
    STING STING
[04:08] ---
    S-Sorry about making you come
    through such cramped quarters.
[04:13] ---
    Oh no! It's my job!
[04:15] ---
    Y-Your face is all scraped up,
    so take care, okay?
[04:20] ---
    All righty.
[04:22] ---
    Hey, look who showed up here
    but Red Blood Cell!
[04:25] ---
    Hey! I know you!
[04:27] ---
    You're White Blood Cell's friend!
[04:29] ---
    Hey there!
[04:31] ---
    Listen, I hope you don't mind my asking,
    but have you seen 1146?
[04:35] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    I haven't seen him in a while.
[04:38] ---
    Are you looking for him?
[04:40] ---
    Yeah. He's been pretty slammed
    with work lately,
[04:44] ---
    so I'm worried that he might be
    feeling run-down or in a foul mood.
[04:48] ---
    I thought I'd ask him to go for tea
    and calm him down!
[04:51] ---
    Is that right? Sounds good to me!
[04:54] ---
    Well, hey, I'm embarrassed
    to sound so patronizing, you know!
[04:58] ---
    Don't give it another thought!
[05:01] ---
    Hey, but maybe there's no need
    for you to be so worried.
[05:05] ---
    The last time I saw him, he was taking it easy,
    sipping on some yummy-looking germ soup!
[05:06] ---
    GERM SOUP
[05:10] ---
    I think he might be better
    at switching gears than we think.
[05:14] ---
    You know how grounded White Blood Cell is!
    I'm sure he's taking care of himself just fine!
[05:23] ---
    4989?
[05:25] ---
    Sorry. It's just that I had no idea there were
    any Red Blood Cells looking out for us like that.
[05:32] ---
    I mean, I never even dreamed it!
[05:34] ---
    I was so moved,
    I just broke down into tears!
[05:36] ---
    Hey, come on! You're embarrassing me!
[05:40] ---
    Knowing how grounded White Blood Cell is,
    I bet he's sipping tea right now, looking like this!
[05:40] ---
    RELAXING TEA
[05:45] ---
    THIS TEA
    IS SO GOOD
[05:46] ---
    This tea is so good!
[05:48] ---
    I think you're right!
[05:53] ---
    You're not getting away!
[05:57] ---
    W-W-W-Wait! Take a good look!
[05:59] ---
    How dare you assault a lovely germ like me!
[06:04] ---
    This White Blood Cell...
[06:06] ---
    is bonkers!
[06:07] ---
    His deadly accuracy at top speed,
[06:09] ---
    those devastating attacks that seem
    to be cutting off all worldly desires...

[06:12] ---
    He's my enemy, but I applaud him!
[06:17] ---
    This is U-1146
    of the White Blood Cell Neutrophil Division.
[06:20] ---
    The invading Bacteria have been exterminated.
[06:26] ---
    No matter what kind of germ it is,
    it will be obliterated without mercy.

[06:29] ---
    That's our job.
[06:32] ---
    We can't let even a single one
    slip through the cracks.

[06:35] ---
    No matter what!
[06:45] ---
    S-So sorry! I guess
    I got in your way, didn't I?
[06:48] ---
    Hey! No, not at all!
[06:50] ---
    I should be apologizing for scaring you.
    I'll clean this up right away and leave.
[06:54] ---
    Oh no, that's all right!
[06:57] ---
    The thing is, I'm training
    to become a strong Platelet right now.
[07:01] ---
    I can't put this down
    under any circumstances!
[07:04] ---
    Huh? Training?
[07:06] ---
    Would you mind tossing that
    coagulation factor my way, please?
[07:09] ---
    So I can catch it!
[07:10] ---
    Uh, sure. I don't mind at all.
[07:13] ---
    Can you handle it?
[07:14] ---
    Thank you so much!
[07:16] ---
    I'll be fine!
[07:18] ---
    All right.
[07:19] ---
    Here!
[07:22] ---
    STUMBLE STUMBLE
[07:24] ---
    BAM
[07:25] ---
    Hey!
[07:26] ---
    Plop!
[07:26] ---
    PLOP
[07:27] ---
    Are you okay?
[07:28] ---
    Plop...
[07:30] ---
    Looks just like her!
[07:31] ---
    I-I'm all right.
    I'm so sorry to worry you.
[07:35] ---
    She's fighting back tears!
    I'll pick those up for you now, okay?

[07:40] ---
    Still, this is a White Blood Cell
    migration route, you know.
[07:43] ---
    Did you lose your way
    during training, maybe?
[07:46] ---
    BLUSH BLUSH
[07:48] ---
    Just like her.
[07:49] ---
    PLATELETS
[07:51] ---
    I don't usually see you alone like this.
[07:54] ---
    What happened? Did you get into a fight
    with that kid you're always with?
[07:56] ---
    Th-That's not it at all!
    Leader is such a kind girl!
[07:58] ---
    You see, you see...
[08:02] ---
    It's just that I'm so weak.
[08:07] ---
    The other day...
[08:10] ---
    when we were practicing primary
    blood clotting inside the bone marrow...
[08:16] ---
    Are you okay?
[08:19] ---
    Plop!
[08:19] ---
    PLOP
[08:21] ---
    Are you all right?
    Leader? Backward Cap?

[08:24] ---
    So, they call you Backward Cap, huh?
[08:28] ---
    Since we're so tiny, at work, we clump together
    to make up for our lack of height.
[08:34] ---
    And there's nothing more important
    than working as one...
[08:39] ---
    But since I'm twice as weak
    as the next Platelet,
[08:41] ---
    I was always dragging everyone else down.
[08:44] ---
    Even so, everyone still kept
    cheering me on, but...
[08:49] ---
    So, I come to check on my apprentices...
[08:51] ---
    and what exactly is this I'm seeing?
[08:56] ---
    SNACK
[08:56] ---
    Th-That voice!
[08:59] ---
    M-Master!
[09:02] ---
    Who would've thought that among my apprentices,
    I'd still find an underdeveloped useless kid like you?

[09:09] ---
    Out there in the real world,
    "I can't do it" just won't cut it!

[09:13] ---
    Make sure you've whipped yourself into shape
    by the next hemorrhage!

[09:17] ---
    Okay!
[09:19] ---
    What I want is strength!
[09:21] ---
    That's why I'm carrying twice
    the normal load of coagulation factors...
[09:25] ---
    to get myself into shape!
    I-It's so heavy!
[09:27] ---
    TREMBLE
    TREMBLE
[09:29] ---
    CLENCH
[09:29] ---
    I see. I really hope
    you can become stronger!
[09:34] ---
    But...
[09:35] ---
    She yelled at me,
    but Master's absolutely right.
[09:39] ---
    I might end up thwarting the others
    during a real mission because I'm incompetent.
[09:44] ---
    So, I've made up my mind
    not to go back until I've gotten stronger.
[09:51] ---
    Is that right?
[09:53] ---
    Well, but there's no need to panic, right?
[09:59] ---
    Backward Cap, you have the positive mindset
    to work hard at it, don't you?
[10:03] ---
    As long as there's one of you like that,
[10:06] ---
    it'll inspire the others to follow suit,
    and then you can all do a great job.
[10:09] ---
    There's no way
    that you'd be thwarting them...
[10:12] ---
    so why don't you go on back
    and see how training together works out?
[10:17] ---
    You really think so?
[10:19] ---
    I see!
[10:28] ---
    Look, we're close to the epidermis now.
[10:30] ---
    Oh, wow!
[10:31] ---
    This is the main road
    along the temporal vein!
[10:36] ---
    Hey! White Blood Cell!
[10:40] ---
    Hey, long time no see!
[10:42] ---
    Hey, Red Blood Cell!
[10:44] ---
    Oh, it's Platelet's friend.
[10:48] ---
    This is Backward Cap.
[10:50] ---
    Hello, Backward Cap!
[10:53] ---
    Hello!
[10:54] ---
    What a coincidence! Just a minute ago,
    we were wondering how you were doing—
[11:02] ---
    What the cell's going on?
    An external injury? Where's the wound?
[11:08] ---
    Every capillary vein in the area is ruptured!
[11:14] ---
    Red Blood Cell!
[11:15] ---
    Don't worry about me!
[11:18] ---
    White Blood Cell...
[11:19] ---
    Take Backward Cap!
[11:21] ---
    Gotcha!
[11:22] ---
    Please give it all you've got!
[11:26] ---
    Will she be all right?
[11:28] ---
    Yeah. No need to worry.
[11:31] ---
    She's sure toughened up!
[11:33] ---
    No. 1146!
[11:36] ---
    So, this is where you've been all this time, huh?
[11:39] ---
    Hey, No. 4989, are we under attack?
    This is an attack, right?
[11:42] ---
    Hold up, No. 1146. Haven't you noticed?
[11:45] ---
    This isn't like any of the other times.
[11:47] ---
    The blood cells should be flying
    out of the wound, but look!
[11:50] ---
    It's like we've been thrown into
    some kind of zero gravity space!
[11:54] ---
    What the...
[11:57] ---
    I see!
[11:58] ---
    That's right!
[11:59] ---
    This means that there's no wound!
[12:02] ---
    And this is the head area!
[12:04] ---
    So, this must be...
[12:05] ---
    a bump, then?
[12:07] ---
    Bump.
[12:09] ---
    A lump-like protrusion caused by swelling
    and bleeding on the outer skull.

[12:09] ---
    BUMP
[12:21] ---
    Stop the internal bleeding...
[12:24] ---
    GRIP
[12:24] ---
    Looks like it's time for me to step up!
[12:27] ---
    That's what I like to hear!
[12:29] ---
    Give it your all, Backward Cap!
[12:33] ---
    Right!
[12:34] ---
    I'll do my best!
[12:37] ---
    And as for us Neutrophils...
[12:40] ---
    No. 4989! You ready?
[12:41] ---
    Yeah! I know what to do!
[12:45] ---
    Internal bleeding is a hemorrhage
    occurring under the skin.

[12:49] ---
    Which means that there's no wound
    that can serve as a pathway for enemy intruders.

[12:53] ---
    In other words...
[12:55] ---
    what we can do as Neutrophils is...
[12:59] ---
    nothing.
[13:00] ---
    All right! Let's work hard
    at our jobs today, too!
[13:04] ---
    Okay!
[13:08] ---
    Cells at Work!!
[13:13] ---
    Cells at Work!!
[13:16] ---
    All right, everybody, listen up!
[13:20] ---
    This is internal bleeding,
    but it's the same job as always.
[13:24] ---
    We're going to assemble in the ruptured area,
    form a primary blood clot...
[13:28] ---
    then form a secondary blood clot by sticking the Red and
    White Blood Cells together with fibrin, to stop the bleeding!
[13:34] ---
    We have a wide area to cover,
    so it won't be easy, but let's do our best!
[13:38] ---
    Okay!
[13:41] ---
    There's damage here, too!
[13:43] ---
    Anyone who's free, please come over here!
[13:45] ---
    It's clotted!
[13:46] ---
    We can cast the fibrin now!
[13:49] ---
    Please bring us the coagulation factors!
[13:51] ---
    Okay!
[13:54] ---
    The coagulation factor!
[13:55] ---
    Backward Cap, you have
    a really great attitude!
[13:59] ---
    She's right!
    Good for you, Backward Cap!

[14:02] ---
    It's not about whether you're strong or not!
    Sometimes a good attitude's all you need!

[14:06] ---
    Bad news, everybody! Listen, listen!
[14:09] ---
    We don't have enough coagulation factors!
[14:13] ---
    Don't worry! Backward Cap's on it—
[14:14] ---
    Listen, listen! It's not that!
[14:16] ---
    The really bad news we're talking about is...
[14:19] ---
    Look at that!
[14:21] ---
    That's...
[14:23] ---
    Sorry!
[14:25] ---
    The damaged area is too big
    for us to close up, right?
[14:29] ---
    What should we do?
[14:30] ---
    Looks like we'll have to assemble far and wide
    and close the whole thing off at once.
[14:34] ---
    Everybody, gather round!
[14:35] ---
    We're going to join forces
    and form a primary blood clot together!
[14:38] ---
    Come on, you, too, Backward Cap, hurry!
[14:41] ---
    Uh-oh! Primary blood clots
    are what Backward Cap has trouble with! Jeez!
[14:45] ---
    Y-You can do it, Backward Cap!
[14:47] ---
    Who's Backward Cap?
[14:49] ---
    Plop!
[14:49] ---
    PLOP
[14:50] ---
    I see, so this gives you trouble, Backward Cap!
    Wh-What should we do?
[14:54] ---
    Is there anyone
    who can take Backward Cap's place?
[14:57] ---
    Hold on a second!
[14:59] ---
    Primary blood clot... We all need to unite
    and work as one right now, but I...

[15:03] ---
    BONK
[15:03] ---
    If I'm like this,
    I'm going to throw everyone else off, too!

[15:08] ---
    What the cell are you doing?
[15:12] ---
    Lackadaisical!
    No motivation whatsoever!
[15:14] ---
    MEGAKARYOCYTE
[15:14] ---
    What a bunch of slackers!
    Asleep at the wheel!
[15:17] ---
    Little squirts!
[15:19] ---
    Megakaryocyte.
[15:21] ---
    The cell that produces Platelets.
[15:24] ---
    The largest of all the cells in the bone marrow.
[15:28] ---
    - Master Megakaryocyte!
    - Master!
[15:30] ---
    So, I'm worried and come to check on you,
    and what do I find?
[15:33] ---
    Seriously, you call yourselves my apprentices?
[15:36] ---
    I know I taught you!
[15:37] ---
    That since there aren't much in the way
    of defensive barriers like muscles or fat on the skull,
[15:41] ---
    the veins are easily ruptured
    by external trauma!
[15:43] ---
    That because of all the capillaries,
    bleeding there leads to catastrophe!
[15:46] ---
    That it's dangerous when the internal bleeding
    can't be stopped! Remember?
[15:49] ---
    W-We're very sorry, Master!
[15:53] ---
    That's not the way to go, Megakaryocyte!
[15:54] ---
    Putting pressure on Backward Cap now
    will only backfire in the end!
[15:57] ---
    Ugh, the wind's smothering my voice!
[16:00] ---
    I said, who is this Backward Cap anyway?
[16:03] ---
    Just look at that!
[16:05] ---
    Thanks to that tongue-lashing,
    she's curled up into a ball!

[16:07] ---
    I don't get it!
[16:09] ---
    To me, it just seems like she's only yelling
    because it makes her feel good.

[16:13] ---
    But could it be that she has the ability to bring
    the Platelets together and resolve this issue?

[16:19] ---
    Does she actually have a plan?
[16:21] ---
    All right.
[16:23] ---
    Now, how can I goad
    these useless brats into action?
[16:27] ---
    Okay, I've got it.
[16:30] ---
    WHOOSH
[16:31] ---
    Listen up, little ones!
[16:34] ---
    Ready?
[16:36] ---
    Whoever does the best job today...
[16:40] ---
    will get this special "You Did a Great Job
    as a Platelet / Good Kid" gold medal!
[16:46] ---
    WOW
[16:49] ---
    I'm going to try harder!
[16:50] ---
    Get to it!
[16:51] ---
    - A medal!
    - A medal!
[16:53] ---
    A gold medal!
[16:56] ---
    She's bribing them.
[16:59] ---
    Show me what you're made of, little ones.
[17:01] ---
    Let's see what you can do!
[17:04] ---
    Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
[17:08] ---
    Here are the coagulation factors!
[17:10] ---
    Okay!
[17:11] ---
    BOOM
[17:12] ---
    Primary Platelet blood clot!
[17:14] ---
    Ah, impressive clumping.
[17:18] ---
    You're compensating for what you lack
    in numbers with your technique.
[17:20] ---
    Not only that, but look at that total stability.
[17:23] ---
    I don't know if it's your thirst
    for a gold medal or just plain guts...
[17:26] ---
    Right!
[17:29] ---
    All righty!
[17:30] ---
    Here! The last of the coagulation factors!
[17:32] ---
    - Thanks!
    - Sure!
[17:35] ---
    All right, now we can...
[17:37] ---
    SLIP
[17:39] ---
    What the...
[17:41] ---
    O-Oh no! Our precious coagulation factor!
[17:47] ---
    Come back here!
[17:51] ---
    Backward Cap!
[17:52] ---
    Backward Cap!
[17:57] ---
    SNAP
[17:58] ---
    I did it! I got it!
[18:02] ---
    Everybody! We're going to do
    that clumping move now!
[18:05] ---
    But that formation is so hard,
    we've never managed to do it even once!
[18:10] ---
    Don't worry!
[18:11] ---
    I'm sure we can make it this time...
[18:13] ---
    if we all work together as one!
[18:16] ---
    O-Okay!
[18:19] ---
    Go!
[18:23] ---
    Now, that's an incredible super skill!
[18:26] ---
    Backward Cap!
[18:27] ---
    I'm coming!
[18:35] ---
    Don't let go!
[18:37] ---
    Hold onto my hand and the coagulation factor!
[18:39] ---
    Okay!
[18:40] ---
    It's all good! Don't worry, Leader!
[18:44] ---
    I'm not letting go,
    I know for sure that I won't ever let go!
[18:47] ---
    That's the spirit, Backward Cap!
    All your training is paying off now!
[18:50] ---
    You've gained a little strength
    in those arms, huh?
[18:53] ---
    Good for you!
[18:59] ---
    Excellent! What amazing cohesion!
[19:02] ---
    Look at you, rising to the occasion!
[19:04] ---
    To think that even I'm floored
    by your growth as your master!

[19:08] ---
    You little ones are truly something else!
[19:13] ---
    My little ones!
[19:14] ---
    Thanks to your efforts, we were able to keep
    today's hemorrhage from escalating,
[19:18] ---
    and we've stopped the bleeding!
[19:20] ---
    Good job! I commend you
    for your hard work!
[19:22] ---
    Yes, Master!
[19:23] ---
    But I can't make up my mind about something.
[19:27] ---
    Who it is that I should award
    the gold medal to, you know.
[19:31] ---
    And why is that?
[19:32] ---
    Because although it's true that Backward Cap
    mustered her courage and came up clutch for us,
[19:36] ---
    still, she was too sluggish before that,
    during clotting! You have to try harder, okay?
[19:44] ---
    Leader, you displayed some impressive
    supervision skills,
[19:46] ---
    but it was also you who dropped
    the coagulation factor! A careless mistake!
[19:50] ---
    HMM
[19:52] ---
    You all worked very hard,
[19:54] ---
    but it's not like I saw an ultra-good kid
    who stood head and shoulders above the rest.
[20:01] ---
    So, today I have no choice but to...
[20:08] ---
    give you all a gold medal!
[20:09] ---
    CLATTER
    CLANG
[20:10] ---
    Master!
[20:12] ---
    Yay! Yay!
[20:12] ---
    YAY
[20:16] ---
    Backward Cap...
[20:18] ---
    You really came through for us today!
[20:20] ---
    It was your efforts that brought
    everyone else together as one!
[20:24] ---
    Master!
[20:26] ---
    Since you've always been twice
    as weak as the others,
[20:29] ---
    I always worried if you'd make it or not.
    But now, you've set my mind at ease.
[20:34] ---
    Backward Cap, as an apprentice,
    you're my pride and joy!
[20:39] ---
    Master! Master!
[20:41] ---
    Hey you!
[20:43] ---
    That's a relief.
[20:45] ---
    I had no clue how that was going to turn out,
    but it looks like I worried too much.

[20:49] ---
    Backward Cap, not only do you have
    a positive attitude,

[20:53] ---
    but you also have
    great friends and a great master.

[20:56] ---
    There was no way that you wouldn't
    find a way to overcome that jam!

[21:00] ---
    Always cherish the memory of today,
    as well as that gold medal.

[21:04] ---
    Backward Cap—
[21:05] ---
    Gold medal! Gold medal!
[21:08] ---
    Gold medal!
[21:10] ---
    Gold medal!
[21:12] ---
    Master!
[21:14] ---
    See you, little ones!
    Do your best next time, too!
[21:18] ---
    Okay!
[22:53] ---
    All right! All right! All right!
[22:54] ---
    Here are more blood cells for the clot!
[22:58] ---
    White Blood Cell! Good job!
[23:02] ---
    Oh, right. So, you're safe and sound.
    That's good.
[23:05] ---
    Huh? You have an ever-so-slightly hurt look
    on your face. Are you all right?
[23:10] ---
    Sure. Hey, it's nothing.
[23:13] ---
    The mood swings this guy goes through over the most
    trivial stuff! Just because he got a little trampled on.
[23:18] ---
    Trampled on?
[23:19] ---
    Well, I'm sure it wasn't on purpose, so...
[23:21] ---
    Who was it that trampled on you?
[23:23] ---
    Well, actually...
[23:25] ---
    NEXT EPISODE

[23:25] ---
    Memory Cell did mention something.
[23:27] ---
    What did he say?
[23:28] ---
    That the world's going to end for sure this time.
    He has a feeling that it may or may not happen.
[23:31] ---
    So, which is it?

    EPISODE 2:
    ACQUIRED IMMUNITY
[01:31] ---
    "Acquired Immunity."
[01:38] ---
    What's this?
[01:40] ---
    What are all these images I'm seeing?
[01:42] ---
    WHITE BLOOD CELL
[01:50] ---
    CELL
[01:54] ---
    They're heading this way!
[01:56] ---
    They're flowing...
[01:58] ---
    right into my mind!
[02:09] ---
    Mump...
[02:17] ---
    What's wrong with you, Memory Cell?
[02:20] ---
    M-Meteorite shower, people fighting,
    a messenger from the outside world...

[02:27] ---
    What were those images I just saw?
[02:29] ---
    Why would I have such a gorefest of a dream
    when I'm not even a Phagocyte? It shouldn't happen!

[02:34] ---
    The whole thing felt so abnormal.
[02:37] ---
    Did I envision the moment
    the world will end?

[02:40] ---
    If that's the case,
    then was that a vision of the future?

[02:44] ---
    And that dream... Could it be...
[02:47] ---
    Memory?
[02:48] ---
    It's not just that I've committed all past
    antigen battles to my memory...

[02:51] ---
    I now have the ability
    to see the future, too?

[02:55] ---
    Memory!
[02:57] ---
    If that's true, then when that virus shows up,
    the world will come to an end!

[03:03] ---
    Do you hear me, Memory?
[03:05] ---
    Enough with the mumbo jumbo!
[03:07] ---
    Just get on with recording
    the antigen data, will you?
[03:10] ---
    It all hinges on your body of knowledge
    whether or not I can put up a fight, okay?
[03:19] ---
    A viral infection has just been
    detected in the parotid gland.

[03:23] ---
    All Immune Cells in the area,
    please head to the site immediately.

[03:28] ---
    Come on, let's go! If it's a known antigen,
    we have to mow them down with antibodies!
[03:32] ---
    Come on, time to get to work!
[03:34] ---
    R-Right.
[03:36] ---
    TOUR ROUTE
[03:36] ---
    See? It's that thing
    hiding in the shadows!
[03:39] ---
    I wonder what that one is.
    This is so weird.
[03:54] ---
    MUMP
[03:55] ---
    Mump.
[03:58] ---
    What is that thing?
    That's one strange virus.
[04:01] ---
    Memory, is it in your records?
[04:03] ---
    Huh? Memory?
[04:05] ---
    Get a hold of yourself!
[04:06] ---
    Memory!
[04:07] ---
    It's not like the world's definitely
    going to end just yet!

[04:10] ---
    Use your gift of second sight
    to find a solution!

[04:10] ---
    ARISE ARISE
[04:14] ---
    Come to me.
[04:17] ---
    Come to me!
[04:18] ---
    Mump!
[04:21] ---
    Wait a sec!
[04:27] ---
    Huh?
[04:30] ---
    Target sighted!
[04:32] ---
    Mump!
[04:34] ---
    Die!
[04:39] ---
    Hey, thanks, Neutrophil.
[04:41] ---
    Sure. Long time no see,
    B Cell and Memory Cell.
[04:44] ---
    Don't leave me behind!
[04:45] ---
    Come to me, premonition!
    Come to me! Come to me!

[04:48] ---
    What happened to my third eye? Open up!
[04:50] ---
    Hey, is something wrong,
    Memory Cell?
[04:53] ---
    Never mind. We'll deal with all this,
    so you guys go on ahead.
[04:58] ---
    Mump!
[05:01] ---
    Mump!
[05:05] ---
    Wha...
[05:06] ---
    Mump!
[05:07] ---
    Whaaat?
[05:16] ---
    Oh my! Oh my!
[05:20] ---
    These guys are multiplying
    like crazy now!
[05:28] ---
    I don't believe it! All that fighting
    that I foresaw is really happening now!

[05:33] ---
    Sure, it seems somewhat different
    than what I saw with my second sight,

[05:38] ---
    but does this mean
    that my gift is the real deal?

[05:42] ---
    Meaning that the fate of this world is—
[05:47] ---
    Hey, I didn't know you were here, B Cell!
[05:50] ---
    Hurry up and make
    some antibodies to save us!
[05:52] ---
    This virus is no joke!
[05:54] ---
    Hold on a second. I can't make antibodies
    without any data on the antigens.
[05:58] ---
    I need someone
    to present the antigen first.
[06:00] ---
    Okay then, forget the antibodies!
    Just take those guys out!
[06:03] ---
    Well, I may be a type of White Blood Cell,
    but I don't do phagocytosis.
[06:08] ---
    I specialize in attacking
    with antibodies, so—
[06:10] ---
    Oh, come on!
    Figure something out, useless!
[06:13] ---
    Wh-What did you call me?
[06:15] ---
    I'm the only one who can save the world!
    Focus! Clear your mind!

[06:20] ---
    A bizarre virus... A battle... Something...
[06:24] ---
    Something's about to come
    raining down, I think.

[06:28] ---
    I have no idea! Come on!
    My miracle second sight power!
[06:31] ---
    Whoa! What are you doing, Memory? Hey!
[06:36] ---
    Mump!
[06:38] ---
    Take this!
[06:42] ---
    Thanks for saving us!
[06:44] ---
    Will that do?
[06:52] ---
    I'll go present the antigen
    to the Commander Helper T Cell, then.
[06:57] ---
    Take care, everyone!
[06:59] ---
    Roger that! We're counting on you!
[07:01] ---
    Counting on you!
[07:02] ---
    Once the antigen's presented,
    the reinforcements will arrive.

[07:05] ---
    But can we hold out until then?
[07:11] ---
    Come on! Help me look, Memory!
[07:14] ---
    We'll make do with a similar-looking virus!
    Can't you think of anything?
[07:17] ---
    Don't talk to me, B Cell! The future...
    I'm about to get a glimpse of the future!
[07:23] ---
    All this talk about the future
    when we're in a crisis...
[07:26] ---
    Never mind the future!
    Remember the past, will you?
[07:32] ---
    Hey...
[07:35] ---
    That's right.
[07:36] ---
    It happened all too suddenly.
[07:39] ---
    From out of the distant sky,
[07:41] ---
    way beyond anyone's reach,
[07:42] ---
    a colossal tube appeared.
[07:46] ---
    And then, a flood of spheres sealed by powers
    from another world came spilling out.

[07:54] ---
    Hey, there's something inside!
    Inside those capsules!

[08:08] ---
    What are these things?
    They're weak as hell!

[08:10] ---
    You're right, totally weak!
    Could they be any weaker?

[08:14] ---
    Mump!
[08:16] ---
    Such pushovers.
    I wonder what their deal is.

[08:19] ---
    Who knows?
[08:20] ---
    I guess we should stick to protocol and have someone
    present the antigen and preserve the data sample.

[08:26] ---
    Leave it to me.
[08:27] ---
    Please record the antigen data,
    all right, Memory Cell?

[08:31] ---
    Oh! Will do!
[08:38] ---
    So, that wasn't me seeing the future,
[08:42] ---
    MEMORIES
[08:42] ---
    but rather images from the past
    that I was seeing?
[08:45] ---
    Vaccination.
[08:47] ---
    To inject a pathogen or toxin
    in a weakened state in advance

[08:49] ---
    in order to acquire immunity from an antigen
    as a preventative measure

[08:53] ---
    to develop protection against that disease.
[08:57] ---
    The antigenic substance
    that is administered is called a "vaccine."

[09:01] ---
    Mump!
[09:12] ---
    Mump!
[09:17] ---
    Mump!
[09:18] ---
    Here they come!
    They're going to try to smother us all at once!
[09:21] ---
    Mump!
[09:26] ---
    Wh-What's going on?
[09:36] ---
    Hey, you guys...
[09:43] ---
    Thanks for waiting.
[09:44] ---
    The system will now launch.
[09:46] ---
    Self-check, okay. Starting injection protocol.
[09:52] ---
    Target identified.
[09:54] ---
    Antigen identified. Target, lock on.
[10:00] ---
    Energy charge complete.
[10:01] ---
    Eat this, you dirty virus! This is...
[10:06] ---
    PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE
    OF B CELL
[10:07] ---
    the power of acquired immunity!
[10:10] ---
    Acquired immunity.
[10:12] ---
    Immunity acquired
    by infection or vaccination after birth.

[10:22] ---
    And so, thanks to the power
    of acquired immunity,

[10:24] ---
    the antigens soon vanished
    without a trace.

[10:28] ---
    Wow, that only took a second!
    And without antigen presentation, too!
[10:31] ---
    Way to go, B Cell!
[10:33] ---
    Good ol' antibodies!
[10:36] ---
    Well, he was able to make those antibodies
    without the antigen presentation
[10:40] ---
    thanks to my memories, you know.
[10:42] ---
    What are you talking about? Jeez!
    In the first place, it was you who—
[10:44] ---
    Oh hey! Never mind that!
[10:46] ---
    There already was an entry on today's virus,
    listing it as an antigen,
[10:50] ---
    but you were going on and on about some prophecy,
    and you just forgot. That was the problem!
[10:55] ---
    What's going on here?
[10:56] ---
    The thing is,
    this guy really dropped the ball today!
[10:59] ---
    Hey, um, h-hey, hey, B Cell...
[11:02] ---
    Just take a look at this.
[11:04] ---
    Mumps virus.
[11:06] ---
    The virus that causes epidemic parotitis.
[11:09] ---
    Characterized by swelling of one or both
    parotid glands, causing difficulty in swallowing.

[11:14] ---
    This is why epidemic parotitis is also known as the
    "mumps," the plural form of "mump" or "grimace."

[11:22] ---
    I mean, look how thorough your records are!
    Shouldn't we feel ridiculous? After all that toil!
[11:29] ---
    Keep it in your head, for goodness sake!
[11:32] ---
    Forget this ever happened, okay?
[11:34] ---
    Huh? Should I have kept my mouth shut?
[11:37] ---
    Where's the virus?
[11:39] ---
    What, is it over already?
[11:44] ---
    Man, I'm beat.
[11:47] ---
    PEYER'S PATCH
[11:49] ---
    "Peyer's Patch."
[11:54] ---
    Here's the next batch!
[11:55] ---
    SMALL INTESTINE
[11:56] ---
    Lactose, sucrose, maltose!
[11:58] ---
    Right!
[12:01] ---
    So, this is the small intestine!
[12:03] ---
    This is where they process all the nutrients, right?
[12:06] ---
    Hey, what a bustling,
    pleasant place this is, huh?
[12:08] ---
    Thank you so much
    for showing us around!
[12:11] ---
    I have absolutely no clue about this area!
[12:14] ---
    Don't mention it. You're welcome.
[12:16] ---
    This is my first time here, too,
[12:19] ---
    but I learned all about the small intestine
    during my Erythroblast days.
[12:23] ---
    Didn't anyone teach you, too, Senpai?
[12:28] ---
    I-I know! Why don't I go get us some tea?
[12:31] ---
    I'll only be a minute!
[12:32] ---
    Hey, thank you so much!
[12:34] ---
    PITTER-PATTER
[12:35] ---
    Hey, Neutrophil!
    You sure have the guts.
[12:39] ---
    Here we are in the intestines, a single membrane
    away from 120 trillion teeming bacteria,
[12:44] ---
    and you're totally mellowing out.
[12:47] ---
    Let me remind you, this isn't a vacation spot
    for you nonchalant cells to zone out in!
[12:51] ---
    It's a battleground where we Immune Cells
    lock gazes with the germs!
[12:56] ---
    Killer T...
[12:58] ---
    I never knew you Neutrophils
    were this complacent.
[13:01] ---
    If you don't get your act together,
[13:03] ---
    you and your friends will end up massacred,
    and it'll be "The End" for you.
[13:08] ---
    I'm not going to let that happen.
[13:10] ---
    What's that? You've got a problem?
    You're the one to blame.
[13:15] ---
    I was only showing the new Red Blood Cells around
    so they'd have an easier time doing their jobs.
[13:20] ---
    That's what I mean!
    Enough with the hand-holding!
[13:23] ---
    Killing the enemy is the only thing
    that should be on your mind!
[13:26] ---
    H-Hey, hey, both of you...
[13:27] ---
    All I want to know is, will you be able to respond
    in an emergency if you're so laid-back?
[13:33] ---
    What if, even as we speak...
[13:35] ---
    there are germs on the...
[13:38] ---
    attack.
[13:43] ---
    This isn't the colony of bacteria
    that resides in the intestines!
[13:46] ---
    We're being attacked by every last germ
    that multiplied in the nutrients!
[13:50] ---
    This is 1146! Bacteria that multiplied
    in the small intestine at D6-18 has landed!
[13:55] ---
    The surrounding tissue is being destroyed!
    Requesting immediate backup!
[14:00] ---
    - Killer T...
    - Huh?
[14:02] ---
    We'll pick this up again later.
[14:04] ---
    Give us a hand if it comes to that.
[14:06] ---
    Right.
[14:10] ---
    The toxic gas from that bacteria
    is endangering the surrounding cells!
[14:14] ---
    If we don't stop them,
    it'll generate carcinogenic metabolites!
[14:17] ---
    We have to eliminate them right away!
[14:19] ---
    I'd like to see you try it, White Blood Cell.
[14:24] ---
    Of course...
[14:26] ---
    if you care at all about the life
    of this Intestinal Epithelial Cell,
[14:29] ---
    your only option is to do
    whatever we Campylobacters say!
[14:34] ---
    Campylobacter.
[14:36] ---
    One of the types of bacteria that causes infectious
    enteritis, triggering fevers, diarrhea and stomach pain.

[14:42] ---
    Wha... A hostage? That's so low!
[14:46] ---
    Help me!
[14:48] ---
    It's not like we didn't think
    long and hard about this.
[14:51] ---
    After all, you murdered
    so many of our friends.
[14:54] ---
    Because your duty is to protect
    the lives of all the normal cells, am I right?
[14:59] ---
    All right, we shouldn't be lounging around here
    or you might catch us off guard.
[15:03] ---
    We'll be standing by
    inside the intestinal tract.
[15:07] ---
    Try and catch us if you can,
    White Blood Cells!
[15:10] ---
    Dammit!
[15:12] ---
    We can't exit this tissue!
[15:13] ---
    Hold up, Campylobacter!
[15:15] ---
    Give us back that hostage!
    What are your demands?
[15:19] ---
    We want you to make these intestines
    a more comfortable place.
[15:22] ---
    For us Campylobacters, that is.
[15:25] ---
    You'll deliver nutrients to us first
    and eliminate all germs that get in the way!
[15:34] ---
    And you White Blood Cells will perform for us
    every day on the other side of that membrane
[15:38] ---
    to keep us entertained.
[15:40] ---
    Yeah, like that!
[15:42] ---
    Also, you'll provide us
    with three meals and a nap per day...
[15:46] ---
    prime real estate in a quiet location
    commanding a fine view
[15:49] ---
    where we can build our own colony!
[15:52] ---
    We're going to build a paradise of Campylobacters
    by Campylobacters and for Campylobacters!
[15:59] ---
    After which, for the sake of maintaining order
    in perpetuity and for all eternity...
[16:02] ---
    All right, fine.
[16:03] ---
    We'll accept your terms.
[16:05] ---
    MURMUR
[16:06] ---
    Once we've done that—
    What? No way! You accept?
[16:10] ---
    Yippee!
[16:10] ---
    IN TRAINING
[16:13] ---
    What the...
[16:15] ---
    All right! In that case, we'll release
    the hostage, but first, do as I say!

[16:20] ---
    Think about what you've done!
[16:21] ---
    You bastards slaughtered scores of our friends!
    Dance some kind of jig!

[16:25] ---
    We have no choice! Dance!
[16:27] ---
    Now pulverize each other!
[16:31] ---
    Wh-What the cell is that moron doing?
[16:34] ---
    I always knew he was a moron,
    but who would've known he was this stupid?

[16:39] ---
    W-We did as you asked.
[16:42] ---
    All right, then, let the hostage go!
[16:47] ---
    Now that you're in such a weakened state,
[16:49] ---
    you probably couldn't catch me
    if I invaded the tissue.
[16:53] ---
    What? Don't tell me you're...
[16:55] ---
    It'd be too pathetic if you died
    because you turned on each other.
[16:58] ---
    Why don't I just finish you off myself?
[17:00] ---
    Wait, Campylobacter!
    That's not what we agreed on! Let the hostage—
[17:04] ---
    What do I care? Die!
[17:10] ---
    You utter fool!
[17:12] ---
    He was never going to release the hostage!
[17:15] ---
    How can you not see that?
[17:17] ---
    Squad Leader...
[17:24] ---
    Just look at you!
[17:26] ---
    You really underestimated
    the power of a germ!
[17:31] ---
    Bye now!
[17:32] ---
    Come back here!
    You're not heading that way!

[17:36] ---
    Jeez, the germ just took off
    with the hostage!
[17:40] ---
    Damn, I can't even watch this.
[17:43] ---
    You stupid nonchalant cell...
[17:47] ---
    Talk about pesky!
[17:48] ---
    You still have enough strength left
    to chase after me?
[17:53] ---
    Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!
[17:54] ---
    Are you okay...
[17:55] ---
    No. 1146?
[17:59] ---
    This is bad! Look at us! We're so close
    to that spot that's super-easy to infiltrate!
[18:03] ---
    There's no villi there, so it's like
    an easy access entrance for bacteria!
[18:07] ---
    You idiot! Keep your voice down
    about that stuff!
[18:10] ---
    Hey! That is...
[18:11] ---
    Shush! We can't let them find out!
[18:13] ---
    My bad!
[18:14] ---
    They're in an uproar about something.
[18:16] ---
    Hey, do you know
    what they're talking about?
[18:18] ---
    W-Well, that would be... um...
[18:20] ---
    Well, if I told you...
[18:22] ---
    would you at least spare my life?
[18:24] ---
    Sure, I can do that.
[18:26] ---
    Hey, don't do it, Intestinal Epithelial Cell!
[18:27] ---
    You see, up ahead, there's a spot
    where both villi and membranes are sparse.
[18:28] ---
    Anything but that!
    Just don't breathe a word about that to him!
[18:31] ---
    And if I may say so myself,
    it's about as airtight as a sieve.
[18:33] ---
    So, I imagine it would be easily
    infiltrated by you bacteria.
[18:34] ---
    TEARY EYES
[18:39] ---
    By any chance,
    would you be talking about...
[18:42] ---
    this place right here?
[18:44] ---
    Uh-oh! We're doomed! He found it!
[18:46] ---
    Um, what should I do now?
[18:48] ---
    Shut up!
    I have no more use for you!
[18:50] ---
    Yippee! Follow me, you guys!
    We've invaded the tissues!
[18:53] ---
    From here on in, we'll have
    unlimited food and a warm place to sleep!
[18:57] ---
    And we'll never have to worry about
    earning our keep again!
[19:03] ---
    Woo-hoo! Nutrients!
[19:05] ---
    Lucky us! Look how much there is!
[19:08] ---
    Let's start gorging ourselves
    and dividing like crazy!
[19:18] ---
    Welcome.
[19:19] ---
    What'll it be for you, sir?
[19:24] ---
    What do you mean, what'll it be?
    I'm a bacterium! I want all of the food here!
[19:30] ---
    Ah, you don't say.
[19:32] ---
    Please, partake.
[19:34] ---
    After all, this is more or less your Last Supper.
    Please enjoy yourselves to the fullest.
[19:39] ---
    What are you talking about? Oh, never mind!
    I'm just going to grab whatever— Wha...
[19:45] ---
    We thought you'd never get here,
    Campylobacter.
[19:48] ---
    An Immune Cell?
    Wh-What are you doing here?
[19:52] ---
    Wh-What good will it do
    to take us on alone?
[19:55] ---
    It's punishment time.
[19:57] ---
    To think that you couldn't see
    through all that blatant baiting...
[20:03] ---
    Stooping to dirty tactics
    like taking a hostage...
[20:06] ---
    Don't underestimate us Neutrophils!
[20:08] ---
    This is an immune tissue
    in the small intestine
[20:12] ---
    where we lure stupid germs like you
    so we can kill you in one fell swoop!
[20:16] ---
    A Peyer's Patch!
[20:17] ---
    Peyer's Patch.
[20:18] ---
    A mass of immune tissue that can be found in the
    depressions between the villi in the small intestine

[20:23] ---
    or in areas where there are no villi.
[20:26] ---
    They are filled with lymphatic nodules.
[20:30] ---
    These patches play a crucial role
    in the intestinal immune system.

[20:39] ---
    And I'm M Cell,
    the proprietor of this Peyer's Patch.
[20:44] ---
    M Cell.
[20:46] ---
    A cell found on the surface of the Peyer's Patch
    which traps bacterial and viral antigens.

[20:52] ---
    The captured bacteria and viruses are handed off
    to the Dendritic Cells and presented as antigens.

[20:57] ---
    You never caught on, but we sent
    a signal when you knocked us back
[21:04] ---
    that we were going to lure you
    to the Peyer's Patch.
[21:08] ---
    S-Signal?
[21:09] ---
    That's right!
[21:11] ---
    That was...
[21:12] ---
    the "M" for "M Cell"!
[21:16] ---
    That's not fair!
[21:17] ---
    Shut up!
[21:18] ---
    Like fair has anything to do with it!
[21:24] ---
    CERTIFICATE
    OF APPRECIATION
[21:25] ---
    Hey, that sure worked out!
[21:28] ---
    Good job, getting him
    to fall for your trap!
[21:31] ---
    I know I kept calling you a moron...
[21:35] ---
    but you do have a good head on your shoulders
    sometimes. I had the wrong idea about you.
[21:40] ---
    Killer T...
[21:41] ---
    But from now on,
    try not to mellow out too much.
[21:45] ---
    Try not to mellow out too much.
[21:47] ---
    Try not to mellow out too much.
[21:49] ---
    I seem to have forgotten something.
[21:53] ---
    That White Blood Cell's taking forever, huh?
[21:56] ---
    Just how long are we going to wait?
[21:59] ---
    I wonder if he got lost.
[22:01] ---
    Uh-oh!
[22:03] ---
    I totally forgot to get
    the Red Blood Cells their tea!
[22:06] ---
    Okay, so he is a moron after all.

    EPIDERMIS

[00:02] ---
    Hello!
[00:04] ---
    I've come to deliver
    your oxygen and nutrients!
[00:07] ---
    Boy, have I been waiting for these!
    I'm starving!
[00:11] ---
    CELL
[00:12] ---
    Thank you for your patience!
    Here you go!
[00:13] ---
    FRAGILE
    CONDENSED GAS
[00:14] ---
    Thanks!
[00:16] ---
    My pleasure!
[00:17] ---
    It's so nice out today.
    Maybe I'll have it right here on the porch.
[00:22] ---
    METAL DETECTED
[00:23] ---
    That's not good!
[00:24] ---
    Harmful materials detected
    near the epidermis!
[00:28] ---
    HISTAMINE
    HANDLING
    MANUAL
[00:30] ---
    Let's see.
[00:32] ---
    For this amount, I should turn
    the dial to... about this much, right?
[00:36] ---
    Time to dig in!
[00:38] ---
    FULL COURSE
[00:38] ---
    Harmful materials detected nearby.
[00:41] ---
    Now releasing histamines.
[00:43] ---
    Huh? No way! Just like that?
[00:50] ---
    Confirming histamine response.
[00:53] ---
    Now dilating blood vessels.
[00:54] ---
    Everything just got short-circuited!
[00:57] ---
    The itch nerves got short-circuited! Itchy!
[01:02] ---
    What's going on?
[01:03] ---
    WHITE BLOOD CELL
[01:04] ---
    Where's the antigen?
[01:07] ---
    Wh-White Blood Cell!
    I-It's all right!
[01:11] ---
    Achoo!
[02:45] ---
    EPISODE 3:
    DENGUE FEVER
[02:48] ---
    I take a little break,
    and look what happens.
[02:50] ---
    Not exactly a breeze,
    reacting to each and every harmful material.
[02:55] ---
    Well, but it is my job, I guess.
[02:59] ---
    Mast Cell! Where's the antigen?
[03:02] ---
    Huh? What are you talking about?
[03:04] ---
    There doesn't seem to be one,
    White Blood Cell.
[03:07] ---
    Hey, stop dumping histamine
    so recklessly!
[03:09] ---
    It's such a huge pain in the butt
    for us every time!
[03:11] ---
    H-Huh?
[03:13] ---
    We were invaded by a harmful material,
    so I responded! I did what I had to do!
[03:18] ---
    What do you mean, "harmful material"?
[03:20] ---
    You know you were just overreacting
    to something trivial again!
[03:23] ---
    Hey, hold up! Histamines
    do play a crucial role, and...
[03:26] ---
    Calm down, you guys!
[03:27] ---
    But...
[03:29] ---
    that's because it's my job.
[03:31] ---
    Your job, your job! When have you ever done
    anything but make trouble for others?
[03:36] ---
    All you do is create extra work for us,
    you hysterical cell!
[03:41] ---
    Who are you calling a...
[03:45] ---
    "hysterical cell"?
[03:47] ---
    Mast Cell! Please calm down!
[03:50] ---
    Okay, fine! So, I'm a troublemaker
    who only creates extra work for you!
[03:55] ---
    All right, I'm not going to do jack now!
[03:57] ---
    Get out of here!
    All of you, get out of my sight!
[04:05] ---
    That was one mind-blowing fight.
[04:08] ---
    Sure, it can be hard to get along,
    since we each have our own roles, but...
[04:14] ---
    S-Sorry! I had something on my mind
    and wasn't looking where I was going.
[04:19] ---
    No, I'm the one who should apologize.
[04:23] ---
    Langerhans Cell.
[04:25] ---
    A type of Dendritic Cell
    found in the epidermis.

[04:29] ---
    They mainly present bacteria, viruses
    and other foreign substances to the immune system,

[04:33] ---
    alerting the brain to any invasions.
[04:35] ---
    They also have a second self-protection function,
    shielding the skin from ultraviolet and dryness.

[04:43] ---
    But you must be careful,
    my dear Red Blood Cell.
[04:46] ---
    We're close to the epidermis. There's no telling
    when outside enemies might attack.
[04:51] ---
    R-Right, sir!
[04:53] ---
    That's right!
    I have to focus on my own work!

[05:00] ---
    Wh-What's that?
[05:02] ---
    This sound...
[05:06] ---
    What's that? A saw?
[05:08] ---
    Mosquito.
[05:09] ---
    A parasitic insect that sucks blood from humans,
    sometimes serving as a medium for malaria protozoa.

[05:21] ---
    Whoa! There's something in the air!
    Stay away from here, everyone! It's dangerous!
[05:26] ---
    H-Huh?
[05:27] ---
    I'm getting sleepy.
[05:30] ---
    Wha... Wha...
[05:32] ---
    Whaaaaat?
[05:34] ---
    All the blood cells are being taken!
[05:38] ---
    I-I'm about to be taken, too—
[05:41] ---
    Hang in there, please!
[05:45] ---
    Here, take my hand!
[05:53] ---
    Ouch! Ugh...
[05:59] ---
    They're gone.
[06:01] ---
    Wh-What just happened?
[06:05] ---
    I wonder what this could be.
[06:07] ---
    A mask?
[06:11] ---
    I don't know where it came from,
[06:14] ---
    but this mask seems to have
    a mysterious allure.
[06:26] ---
    A-Are you okay?
[06:32] ---
    De-Dengue!
[06:41] ---
    Whoa! The wind!
[06:46] ---
    De-Dengue!
[06:48] ---
    What's going on?
[06:49] ---
    The Langerhans Cells
    are acting crazy all of a sudden!
[06:52] ---
    Don't tell me these guys
    are virus-infected cells!
[07:00] ---
    2k REALTY
    ROOMS AVAILABLE
    WHY NOT START A NEW LIFE?
[07:00] ---
    Somebody help us!
[07:05] ---
    What's up with this extreme reaction?
    I have to release histamines!
[07:09] ---
    Stop dumping histamine so recklessly!
[07:11] ---
    You hysterical cell!
[07:14] ---
    I-It doesn't matter.
[07:16] ---
    I just have to do my job.
[07:23] ---
    It would just be...
[07:25] ---
    extra work, right?
[07:28] ---
    That's right.
[07:29] ---
    Even if I don't release histamines now,
    someone will eventually show up.
[07:40] ---
    Are those the cells from before?
[07:43] ---
    In my eyes,
[07:44] ---
    you appear to be a marionette, forced to dance
    by the very strings of words that shackle you.

[07:50] ---
    In this world where all things intertwine, transform
    and vanish, the blazing flames, chaos itself...

[07:56] ---
    Wh-Why is this showing up onscreen?
[07:57] ---
    Of which this catastrophe, too,
    is but a fragment...

[08:00] ---
    In this uncertain world, there exists
    but one thing that each life can control.

[08:05] ---
    And that is the ego as well as the self.
[08:08] ---
    Basophil, who are you speaking to?
[08:11] ---
    We, who are but fragile life forms,
[08:14] ---
    must affirm our reason for being
    through independent actions,

[08:18] ---
    and make our lives complete
    by fulfilling our missions.

[08:23] ---
    "Follow the path you believe in."
    Is that what you're saying?

[08:27] ---
    We must never forget that our reason for being
    is to prove our existence—

[08:29] ---
    Wh-What's this?
[08:32] ---
    De-Dengue!
[08:40] ---
    Dammit! What's taking
    the Immune Cells so long?
[08:43] ---
    I'm sure they'll be here soon,
    so please stay calm!
[08:47] ---
    But if they don't get here...
[08:49] ---
    - De-Dengue!
    - ...we'll be toast!
[08:51] ---
    - De-Dengue! De-Dengue!
    - I don't care who it is!
[08:53] ---
    Just save us!
[08:54] ---
    De-Dengue!
[09:04] ---
    Is this histamine?
[09:06] ---
    Was that you again, Mast Cell?
[09:09] ---
    Just shut up, sit back and watch.
[09:12] ---
    Watch me work!
[09:14] ---
    Confirming histamine response.
    Now dilating blood vessels.

[09:19] ---
    Immune Cells, please head
    to the site immediately.

[09:22] ---
    Where are they?
[09:23] ---
    Just you wait! Here we come!
[09:23] ---
    We're going to wipe them out
    and then have a tea party!
[09:25] ---
    Come on out and show your faces!
[09:27] ---
    I'll kill you!
[09:29] ---
    Target sighted!
[09:32] ---
    All of you, die!
[09:34] ---
    You damn infected cells!
[09:39] ---
    W-We're saved.
[09:41] ---
    De-Dengue!
[09:44] ---
    Bye-bye, germ!
[09:46] ---
    Thank you very much!
[09:50] ---
    The crisis was averted
    in the nick of time.

[09:53] ---
    Thanks to the Immune Cells
    who arrived on the scene...

[09:56] ---
    the virus was wiped out without proliferating.
[10:00] ---
    The enemy was revealed
    to be the dengue virus.

[10:04] ---
    This incident was triggered
    by the invasion of the dengue virus

[10:07] ---
    when the mosquito sucked blood
    from the body.

[10:13] ---
    They say it was a mosquito. Scary, huh?
[10:16] ---
    We have to do some construction!
[10:18] ---
    So, this crisis was caused
    by a mosquito bite, huh?
[10:22] ---
    Yeah. The cells we lost
    won't be coming back.
[10:26] ---
    But we did manage
    to minimize the damage.
[10:30] ---
    Thanks to Mast Cell, that is.
[10:33] ---
    It was because you released the histamines
    that we were able to rush to the scene.
[10:43] ---
    Mast Cell...
[10:44] ---
    Wh-What do you want?
[10:46] ---
    Hey, I'm sorry.
[10:49] ---
    I didn't know that histamines
    summoned the Immune Cells.
[10:53] ---
    Looks like it was you
    who came to our rescue today.
[10:57] ---
    Hey you! Is it true
    that you got tangled up in another incident?
[11:00] ---
    Yes! I'm sorry!
[11:03] ---
    Thanks, Mast Cell!
[11:06] ---
    Sorry I called you hysterical, okay?
[11:10] ---
    W-Well, I should've released
    the histamines sooner.
[11:16] ---
    Then, you wouldn't have had to feel scared. So, I'm...
[11:16] ---
    Didn't I tell you to be careful?
    I'm taking your hat from you!
[11:20] ---
    But that's so unfair!
[11:21] ---
    ...sor—
[11:23] ---
    Wait, I've been telling you from the start,
    I've done nothing wrong!
[11:29] ---
    Why should I have to apologize, too?
[11:32] ---
    That's so messed up!
[11:33] ---
    Jeez, I was this close to apologizing!
[11:35] ---
    We told you!
    The histamines make us so itchy!
[11:37] ---
    PLATELETS
[11:38] ---
    What do I care?
[11:41] ---
    An irrational life causes a gust of wind to blow,
    and all things transform.
[11:46] ---
    Did the wind break your umbrella?
[11:50] ---
    - Yes.
    - Why, you...

[12:12] ---
    The part of a hair embedded under the skin.
    The tissue where hair is developed.

[12:20] ---
    Hey, stop slacking off!
[12:23] ---
    Come on, make that sebum!
[12:26] ---
    Anyone I find slacking
    will get one hundred lashes!
[12:28] ---
    I-I can't go on...
[12:31] ---
    Elder! Elder!
[12:34] ---
    Aha! I spy a big-time slacker!
[12:39] ---
    One hundred lashes—
[12:43] ---
    L-Little boy, stop...
[12:46] ---
    Hair Matrix Cell.
[12:48] ---
    Divides to produce hair.
[12:51] ---
    Don't you dare abuse the Elder!
[12:55] ---
    All right, then are you ready to take
    that old geezer's beating for him?
[13:01] ---
    Would that be a bit too cruel maybe?
[13:04] ---
    Oh, but on second thought...
[13:07] ---
    a hundred lashes it is!
[13:13] ---
    Die!
[13:14] ---
    You damn germ bastard!
[13:20] ---
    I'm White Blood Cell.
[13:22] ---
    I'm with the Neutrophil Division.
    Who are you?
[13:26] ---
    We are the cells who work in this pore.
[13:30] ---
    What in the world happened here?
[13:33] ---
    In the past, we all carried out
    our own respective tasks,
[13:37] ---
    like producing sebum or coloring.
[13:39] ---
    But one day, the acne germs showed up
    and began tyrannizing us!
[13:44] ---
    This is no longer a mere pore!
    It's a pimple!
[13:50] ---
    Pimple.
[13:51] ---
    An inflammatory disease of the skin.
[13:54] ---
    Inflammation begins
    when the pores become clogged with sebum.

[13:59] ---
    The parts of the body that produce
    excess sebum are susceptible to acne.

[14:02] ---
    An outbreak is often accompanied
    by pus and some pain.

[14:06] ---
    What's this?
    What's all this commotion?
[14:08] ---
    It's the acne germs!
[14:11] ---
    Acne germ.
[14:13] ---
    Normal bacteria flora that can cause acne.
[14:16] ---
    Official name is "Propionibacterium acnes."
[14:20] ---
    Dislikes oxygen and loves sebum.
[14:24] ---
    Huh? Y-You damn White Blood Cell! How dare you!
[14:28] ---
    Acne germs? Just look at that horde!
[14:34] ---
    Big Brother White Blood Cell!
    I'm going to help you fight!
[14:37] ---
    L-Little boy! Stop it!
[14:42] ---
    Big Brother!
[14:48] ---
    - White Blood Cell!
    - Little boy!
[14:52] ---
    There are no saviors here!
[14:54] ---
    Now get back to your posts and work!
[15:04] ---
    Where are we?
[15:05] ---
    You came to?
[15:06] ---
    Sorry about that! It's all my fault.
[15:10] ---
    No. You've done nothing wrong.
    Anyway, who were those guys back there?
[15:17] ---
    It all started with such a minor problem.
[15:22] ---
    The pipe we use to send sebum
    to the epidermis got clogged with dirt...
[15:26] ---
    and the whole pore got flooded with sebum.
[15:29] ---
    That's when the sebum-loving acne germs
    set their sights on us.
[15:32] ---
    And they just kept getting
    stronger and stronger!
[15:35] ---
    The next thing we knew,
    we'd been taken over...
[15:38] ---
    and they'd made us their slaves!
[15:42] ---
    Why did you wait around
    for them to multiply like that?
[15:45] ---
    Didn't my friends come to save you?
[15:48] ---
    Sure they did. But... But they just...
[15:51] ---
    They gave up!
[15:53] ---
    All of them!
[15:57] ---
    Look at that.
[16:00] ---
    Wh-What is that? Pus?
[16:02] ---
    My friends' corpses?
[16:07] ---
    They were all brave warriors just like you.
[16:11] ---
    But...
[16:14] ---
    Just look at them now!
[16:16] ---
    This hair root is our homeland
    as well as our precious workplace.

[16:21] ---
    But in the overall scheme of things,
    it's merely a single pore.

[16:26] ---
    All we have to do
    is submit to being wiped out.

[16:31] ---
    Little boy, try to understand.
[16:34] ---
    I see.
[16:37] ---
    If only I had courage
    just like you White Blood Cells!
[16:48] ---
    This is No. 1146.
[16:50] ---
    I've spotted a den of acne germs
    in that hair root.
[16:53] ---
    Requesting those nearby
    to come to my aid.
[16:55] ---
    Gotcha! We'll be a little late!
[16:58] ---
    Huh? B-B-But...
[16:59] ---
    No matter how small its impact...
[17:02] ---
    so long as a germ runs rampant
    in this body, I can't let it go.
[17:07] ---
    That's my...
[17:09] ---
    That's our job.
[17:12] ---
    Big Brother...
[17:15] ---
    All right! A hundred lashes!
[17:19] ---
    Die!
[17:23] ---
    Ah, you're that White Blood Cell
    who should've died then. You're still alive?
[17:29] ---
    How amusing!
[17:31] ---
    I, the King of the Acne Germs, shall add you
    to my collection of White Blood Cell corpses!
[17:37] ---
    You can take your place in that pus now!
[17:40] ---
    I'll kill you first!
[17:52] ---
    Be careful!
[17:54] ---
    Try not to fall!
[17:56] ---
    You can do it, Big Brother!
[17:59] ---
    Die!
[18:05] ---
    I'm going to smash you to pieces!
[18:10] ---
    Hey, look! He has a shot at winning!
[18:13] ---
    Something's off.
[18:14] ---
    I'm sure you were too obese and slow
    to defeat all those White Blood Cells.
[18:20] ---
    What kind of low methods did you stoop to,
    Acne Germ King or whatever?
[18:26] ---
    You have no clue yet
    how terrifying I can be!
[18:30] ---
    I'm going to give you a taste
    of some interminable suffering!
[18:34] ---
    Just as I did your friends!
[18:37] ---
    What?
[18:39] ---
    Muah!
[18:39] ---
    MUAH
[18:45] ---
    How do you like that?
    Talk about a geographical edge!
[18:49] ---
    Here, we have an endless supply
    of our favorite food, sebum!
[18:54] ---
    That's why we're able to heal over and over!
[18:57] ---
    Th-This is bad!
[18:59] ---
    It was futile from the start.
[19:02] ---
    It was simply that man's fate to become pus.
[19:06] ---
    Let us resign ourselves.
[19:08] ---
    After all, what is this but a single hair?
[19:16] ---
    No matter how small its impact...
[19:19] ---
    so long as a germ runs rampant
    in this body...

[19:21] ---
    I can't let it go.
[19:24] ---
    Elder...
[19:27] ---
    Elder, you...
[19:29] ---
    dummy!
[19:30] ---
    POW
[19:32] ---
    L-Little boy! How dare you
    do such a thing to the Elder!
[19:35] ---
    Big Brother told me...
[19:37] ---
    that no matter how small its impact,
    he'd still fight it!
[19:40] ---
    Because that was his job!
[19:43] ---
    It may be a single hair...
[19:45] ---
    but it's still our precious homeland!
[19:49] ---
    Big Brother and all the White Blood Cells
    who died were fighting for a single hair!
[19:56] ---
    So, how can we give up on it ourselves?
[20:00] ---
    L-Little boy...
[20:03] ---
    Elder, I'm sorry, but...
[20:05] ---
    Elder...
[20:07] ---
    Elder, we feel the same way.
[20:10] ---
    Now is the time...
[20:12] ---
    for us to make a stand!
[20:14] ---
    Y-You people...
[20:18] ---
    Not bad! Who knew you'd hang on this long?
    But it's all over now!
[20:24] ---
    Die!
[20:29] ---
    A resounding victory for me!
[20:32] ---
    Now, let's get you
    into my collection of corpses!
[20:35] ---
    Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
[20:37] ---
    What's that I hear?
[20:47] ---
    Open it up all the way!
[20:49] ---
    Turn it! Full throttle, now!
[20:53] ---
    - This is our workplace!
    - And we're going to protect it ourselves!
[20:59] ---
    W-Water? No, this is...
[21:02] ---
    sebum?
[21:03] ---
    Full blast! Keep turning
    until it's open full blast!
[21:06] ---
    If it's sebum you want,
    we'll give you sebum!
[21:09] ---
    Big Brother...
[21:12] ---
    My belly's so heavy!
    This is bad! I'm drowning!
[21:16] ---
    I have to get away from here for now.
[21:20] ---
    You feasted too much on sebum, slowpoke!
[21:31] ---
    Die, you miserable germ!
[21:42] ---
    Sir White Blood Cell,
    please forgive us.
[21:45] ---
    Big Brother!
[21:53] ---
    We don't know where
    that White Blood Cell went after that.
[21:57] ---
    Is that right?
[21:59] ---
    Who knows what became of him?
[22:07] ---
    We're going to search over there!
[22:20] ---
    Did I fall into the sebum pipe?
[22:23] ---
    I'm shiny all over!
[22:25] ---
    Big Brother!
[22:31] ---
    Big Brother!
[22:37] ---
    Thank you. This single hair
    that you protected...
[22:41] ---
    We'll always cherish it
    and take good care of it.
[22:45] ---
    Until the day it falls out.
[22:48] ---
    I'm telling you, man,
    you have to be kinder to yourself.
[22:53] ---
    People who can't be kind to themselves
    can't be kind to others.
[22:57] ---
    Yeah, I'll keep that in mind.
[22:59] ---
    Hey, thanks.
[23:02] ---
    Hey!
[23:03] ---
    White... Blood... Cell?
[23:08] ---
    Did you, uh, switch jobs?
[23:11] ---
    No, I just... you know...
[23:15] ---
    Big Brother, this is for you.
[23:21] ---
    It's a token of my gratitude!

    EPISODE 4:
    H. PYLORI
[01:42] ---
    "H. Pylori."
[01:46] ---
    FRAGILE
    CONDENSED GAS
[01:48] ---
    There are virus-infected cells here, too!
[02:01] ---
    We have a situation near the pharynx.
[02:03] ---
    Immune Cells...
[02:04] ---
    are to head to the site immediately!
[02:06] ---
    WHITE BLOOD CELL
[02:06] ---
    Target sighted!
[02:08] ---
    Come on, come on, come on!
[02:10] ---
    We're going to slaughter 'em all!
[02:12] ---
    Die!
[02:13] ---
    Don't let any get away!
[02:17] ---
    Die!
[02:21] ---
    And so, it's the same old,
    same old again today.
[02:24] ---
    The Immune Cells come swooping in,
[02:27] ---
    defeat the infected bad guys,
    and now the town is peaceful again.
[02:32] ---
    And so, just like any other day,
[02:35] ---
    we ordinary cells are stuck
    on the sidelines again.
[02:42] ---
    What a drag!
[02:46] ---
    I mean, those Immune guys
    just don't play fair!
[02:49] ---
    OUT OF ORDER
[02:50] ---
    The way they put on that whole superhero act
    when they're just a bunch of assassins...
[02:54] ---
    And then, when we get attacked
    by viruses, they're like...
[02:57] ---
    "It's your own fault for not protecting yourselves!"
    or "You should've done your homework!"
[03:03] ---
    Jeez.
[03:05] ---
    Just once in my life,
    if someone would say,
[03:07] ---
    "Thank you for rescuing me!"
[03:09] ---
    What wouldn't I give to hear those words?
[03:18] ---
    If only I was stronger!
[03:21] ---
    Nyuuu!
[03:22] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[03:26] ---
    G-G-Germs?
[03:28] ---
    Oh man, I've stumbled upon something I shouldn't
    have! I've got to let the Immune Cells know!
[03:33] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[03:36] ---
    Wh-What's wrong?
[03:38] ---
    - Nyuuu!
    - You can't get out of there?
[03:41] ---
    You're germs! Don't beg a cell for help!
[03:45] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[03:49] ---
    What am I going to do?
[03:51] ---
    I'll help you, but you'd better go
    back to where you came from, okay?
[03:54] ---
    What, are you still babies?
[03:57] ---
    That's it! You've got this!
[03:59] ---
    You can do it! Almost there!
[04:02] ---
    Nyuuu!
[04:06] ---
    Look at those happy faces.
[04:09] ---
    Hey, I just rescued some germs.
[04:11] ---
    Oh man.
[04:12] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[04:13] ---
    Hey, don't get attached to me!
    You guys are germs, aren't you?
[04:18] ---
    Hey! Ordinary Cell there!
    What are you being so sneaky about?
[04:21] ---
    N-N-N-N-Nothing! It's nothing!
[04:24] ---
    I just kind of overate! I wasn't feeling well,
    so I decided to crouch here to rest!
[04:30] ---
    Is that right? Take care, then!
[04:33] ---
    Jeez, that was close! There's no telling
    what they would do if they spotted you.
[04:39] ---
    Nyuuu!
[04:40] ---
    Now, be good and go back
    to where you came from.
[04:42] ---
    - Nyuuu?
    - See ya.
[04:46] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[04:48] ---
    Hey, stop following me, dammit!
[04:51] ---
    I don't want to get yelled at, all right?
[04:53] ---
    I'll pretend I never saw you,
    so try to make it back to—
[04:56] ---
    Nyuuu?
[05:00] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[05:07] ---
    NYUUU
[05:07] ---
    Nyuuu!
[05:10] ---
    I went and brought them home.
[05:13] ---
    Jeez, this is bad! I'm so going to get yelled at!
[05:17] ---
    Wait, worst case, I could get killed, too!
[05:29] ---
    My receptor's definitely
    picking something up,
[05:32] ---
    so where are the antigens?
[05:34] ---
    Hey, White Blood Cell!
[05:36] ---
    Thank you for saving us earlier!
[05:38] ---
    Sure.
[05:40] ---
    Is something the matter?
[05:42] ---
    No. I've been patrolling this area
    for antigens, and...
[05:47] ---
    Not at home?
[05:48] ---
    Hello? I've come to deliver your oxygen!
[05:52] ---
    Ordinary Cell?
[05:53] ---
    Nyuuu!
[05:54] ---
    NYUUU
[05:56] ---
    Dummies! Shush! Shush!
[05:58] ---
    Keep it down, all right?
    If we're caught, they're going to kill you!
[06:02] ---
    Hello? Cell boy? Are you in there?
[06:07] ---
    No answer, huh?
[06:08] ---
    Do you think maybe he was talking
    in his sleep?
[06:11] ---
    Well, never mind.
[06:12] ---
    I have to find those antigens first.
[06:16] ---
    No, hold up!
[06:17] ---
    Maybe the antigen's threatening
    Cell boy inside there,
[06:21] ---
    and there's no way
    for him to call for help,
[06:23] ---
    so he emitted that sound
    just now as a last resort?
[06:27] ---
    If you call for help, you're dead!
[06:29] ---
    Nyuuu!
[06:29] ---
    NYUUU
[06:31] ---
    I-It's all quiet out there now.
[06:34] ---
    Are they gone?
[06:35] ---
    All right.
[06:37] ---
    I'm going to slip out now
    and take them back.
[06:39] ---
    Hey, Cell boy! Are you okay?
    I'm coming to save you now!
[06:48] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[06:52] ---
    And what exactly...
[06:53] ---
    is your explanation for this?
[06:55] ---
    W-Well, long story short, I rescued them,
    but then they got attached to me.
[06:55] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[07:00] ---
    And when I thought about them being killed,
    I couldn't turn my back on them.
[07:05] ---
    I see.
[07:06] ---
    I can see how it'd be hard
    to turn your back on them.
[07:09] ---
    - Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
    - Oh? You're hungry?
[07:14] ---
    I don't have anything for you.
[07:16] ---
    I said, I have nothing. See?
[07:18] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[07:21] ---
    Cell boy...
[07:22] ---
    I understand how you feel,
[07:24] ---
    but I can't allow germs
    to multiply inside this body.
[07:28] ---
    Once they multiply, germs go on to release toxins,
    harming the cells inside the body.
[07:33] ---
    In some cases, this could trigger hemolysis
    which would destroy the Red Blood Cells
[07:37] ---
    or take away their nutrients.
[07:40] ---
    You understand, right?
[07:44] ---
    I guess it would be cruel to do it before his eyes.
[07:48] ---
    Thank you for your help
    in capturing the antigens.
[07:50] ---
    Oh...
[07:51] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[07:58] ---
    This is No. 4989!
[08:00] ---
    We're battling germs in the stomach,
    and it's not looking good!
[08:02] ---
    We need your backup right away!
[08:05] ---
    Roger that! I'm on my way!
[08:07] ---
    Cell boy, sorry, but I'm taking
    custody of these germs!
[08:14] ---
    Ordinary Cell?
[08:15] ---
    S-Sure, of course.
[08:17] ---
    He's only doing his job.
[08:19] ---
    Protecting us all is the Immune Cells' job, after all.
[08:26] ---
    U-Uh...
[08:29] ---
    Hey, wait, Ordinary Cell!
[08:31] ---
    Sign this!
[08:37] ---
    That's right! Run around in a frenzy!
[08:42] ---
    What's going on?
[08:43] ---
    Where's the enemy?
[08:45] ---
    Hey, 1146!
[08:47] ---
    Um, it's on the other side of that wall!
[08:53] ---
    Pylori!
[08:55] ---
    H. pylori.
[08:57] ---
    Resistant to gastric acid.
[08:58] ---
    Can trigger gastrointestinal diseases, causing
    ulcers and sometimes leading to stomach cancer.

[09:04] ---
    It's a type of harmful bacteria,
    detrimental to the human body.

[09:08] ---
    Officially known as "Helicobacter pylori."
[09:11] ---
    H. pylori? Who would've thought?
[09:15] ---
    There's nothing you cells can do to stop me!
[09:19] ---
    We H. pylori have bodies that are tough as nails,
    so we can operate in gastric acid! Unlike you lot!
[09:28] ---
    It's like chaos here!
[09:30] ---
    So, this is the front line, huh?
[09:34] ---
    Nyuuu...
[09:36] ---
    B-But it's not like we can go to him, you know!
[09:40] ---
    We'll get dissolved in that gastric acid!
[09:42] ---
    I'll go!
[09:43] ---
    I'll land a fatal blow on him
    before I get dissolved!
[09:45] ---
    What? But 1146,
    if you do that, you'll die!
[09:50] ---
    There's no way around it!
    It's for the sake of this body!
[09:53] ---
    For the sake of this body...
[09:54] ---
    That's right.
    It's for the sake of this body.

[09:58] ---
    To die for someone else's sake...
    How cool is that?

[10:02] ---
    For someone like me...
[10:04] ---
    For a humble ordinary cell like me,
    that would be impossible.

[10:08] ---
    How powerless am I anyway?
[10:10] ---
    This world belongs to the H. pylori now!
[10:14] ---
    Oh, crap! The stomach lining!
[10:17] ---
    At least put this on!
    It's made of acid-resistant enamel!
[10:21] ---
    It's crumbling!
[10:25] ---
    Look out!
[10:33] ---
    C-Cell boy!
[10:38] ---
    Sorry. I'm nothing but an ordinary cell,
[10:42] ---
    so I can't protect you like I should.
[10:47] ---
    You guys are bacteria inside this body,
    so you're going to end up dead.
[10:52] ---
    But you know what?
[10:53] ---
    I would've saved you if I could.
[10:57] ---
    Just remember that you did have
    somebody who cared about you.
[11:04] ---
    Well, now, I've seen everything!
    A cell, protecting germs?
[11:08] ---
    Hmm... I just know
    I've seen you somewhere before.
[11:12] ---
    Are you all right?
[11:14] ---
    Oh, never mind!
    I'm going to eliminate you all in one go!
[11:18] ---
    Take this! Gastric Acid Hell!
[11:21] ---
    Uh-oh!
[11:24] ---
    Nyuuu!
[11:27] ---
    Those germs opened up a hole,
    so now we have a pathway!
[11:30] ---
    This is our chance to take over this—
[11:33] ---
    Nyuuu?
[11:34] ---
    Nyuuu!
[11:35] ---
    Huh?
[11:37] ---
    The other germs that happened to show up
    just got turned into slush!
[11:39] ---
    Can you believe how powerful that was?
[11:41] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[11:45] ---
    W-Wait! One's missing!
[11:51] ---
    No way! So, I guess he's—
[11:55] ---
    Nyuuu...
[11:58] ---
    Nyuuu...
[12:01] ---
    Hey, he's alive!
[12:05] ---
    Wh-What's going on?
[12:08] ---
    That germ's acting...
[12:20] ---
    Wh-What was that? Did the H. pylori
    just take a hit from that germ's attack?
[12:24] ---
    Grrr! I-Impossible! You actually dared
    to inflict a wound on me?
[12:31] ---
    Huh? W-Wait, don't tell me you're...
[12:34] ---
    a lactic acid bacterium?
[12:36] ---
    Nyuuu!
[12:39] ---
    Lactic acid bacteria.
[12:40] ---
    Rather than refer to a specific bacteria,
    it is the blanket term for germs

[12:44] ---
    that produce lactic acid
    in massive quantities

[12:46] ---
    by breaking down sugars to produce
    the energy necessary for growth.

[12:51] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[12:53] ---
    Stop it!
[12:57] ---
    I can't take this!
    My only option is to flee— Oh no...
[13:01] ---
    You finally came out from the sea of acid!
[13:04] ---
    N-N-N-Now I've done it!
[13:06] ---
    Nyuuu!
[13:07] ---
    Nyuuu!
[13:08] ---
    You pylo-ing scum...
[13:10] ---
    Die!
[13:11] ---
    Nyuuu!
[13:12] ---
    Pylori!
[13:17] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[13:20] ---
    D-Did he just beat that huge H. pylori?
[13:24] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[13:26] ---
    Wh-Wh-What's up with you guys?
[13:28] ---
    Hey, don't jump on me! You're all covered
    in gastric acid! It's bad for me!
[13:31] ---
    Hey, are those germs...
[13:34] ---
    Yeah.
[13:34] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[13:35] ---
    It looks like it.
[13:38] ---
    Cell boy...
[13:39] ---
    I'm so sorry!
[13:41] ---
    After what just happened,
    I get it now...
[13:43] ---
    exactly what kind of germs
    those guys are.
[13:45] ---
    Nyuuu!
[13:48] ---
    Those germs...
[13:50] ---
    are good bacteria
    that work for the sake of this body.
[13:55] ---
    Good bacteria.
[13:56] ---
    The layperson's term for the bacteria
    found in the digestive system

[13:59] ---
    that are beneficial
    for the human body's health.

[14:04] ---
    Well-known examples include
    lactic acid and lactobacillus bifidus.

[14:07] ---
    Some lactic acid bacteria
    are resistant to gastric acid

[14:11] ---
    and can suppress the activation of H. pylori.
[14:15] ---
    Nyuuu!
[14:17] ---
    Nyuuu!
[14:18] ---
    They must've entered this body
    along with food or something.
[14:23] ---
    I've never seen them in an inactive state,
[14:26] ---
    so I didn't realize it at first.
[14:28] ---
    All right, I have to get back to patrol duty.
[14:32] ---
    Because bacteria might invade
    through that hole the H. pylori ripped open.
[14:36] ---
    B-But what about these guys?
[14:47] ---
    Hey, you want to go to your friends, don't you?
[14:49] ---
    Nyuuu!
[14:50] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[14:54] ---
    I can't go with you. I'll melt.
[14:57] ---
    Nyuuu?
[14:58] ---
    Nyuuu...
[14:59] ---
    Nyuuu...
[15:00] ---
    Nyuuu?
[15:04] ---
    Go on.
[15:05] ---
    Nyuuu...
[15:08] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[15:11] ---
    Take care of yourself.
[15:14] ---
    All right, Cell boy...
[15:17] ---
    I'm about to tell you something
    that has nothing to do with you.
[15:21] ---
    There are all kinds of types
    of lactic acid bacteria,
[15:23] ---
    and I hear they all work with their friends
    near different digestive organs.
[15:28] ---
    I'm heading out to patrol those areas now.
[15:32] ---
    Wanna come along?
[15:34] ---
    Yeah!
[15:38] ---
    Hey!
[15:40] ---
    So, there you are, Ordinary Cell!
[15:42] ---
    I was wondering where you'd gone!
[15:44] ---
    If you could just stamp that receipt...
[15:46] ---
    or your signature will do, too. Right here, please.
[15:49] ---
    Sorry, I forgot all about that.
[15:52] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[15:54] ---
    Ordinary Cell, haven't you put on
    some weight since I last saw you?
[15:58] ---
    Huh? Oh, yeah...
[16:07] ---
    ANTIGENIC SHIFT
[16:09] ---
    "Antigenic Shift."
[16:12] ---
    SMALL INTESTINE
[16:15] ---
    All right, I'm heading this way.
[16:17] ---
    Right.
[16:19] ---
    Good work!
[16:21] ---
    WELCOME
    TO THE
    SMALL INTESTINE
[16:26] ---
    This is the small intestine.
[16:29] ---
    Okay! Hoist up the microvilli
    from No. 1 through 10!
[16:34] ---
    There are all sorts of stuff
    coming in again today.
[16:36] ---
    Nice to get some balanced nutrition, huh?
[16:39] ---
    Nyuuu!
[16:41] ---
    So, this is the small intestine, huh?
[16:43] ---
    I've never been to a place
    like this before! It's awesome!
[16:47] ---
    Put those lactic acid bacteria away
    or they'll be spotted.
[16:49] ---
    It looks like they're scooping something up
    with a huge net. What is that?
[16:54] ---
    There are nutrients that got dissolved
    in the stomach on the other side of this wall.
[16:58] ---
    It's here in the small intestine that
    they get absorbed into the body,
[17:01] ---
    processed and turned into nutrients for you cells.
[17:02] ---
    SAMPLES
[17:05] ---
    Hey, you're right!
    We eat that stuff all the time!
[17:08] ---
    - Wow!
    - Nyuuu!
[17:09] ---
    But if they're from outside, doesn't that mean
    all kinds of substances get in? Like viruses?
[17:15] ---
    Bad stuff like that
    isn't absorbed by mistake, right?
[17:18] ---
    Most of it gets destroyed by gastric acid,
    so it's all good.
[17:21] ---
    Still, there are other things, too,
    that can get tricky.
[17:24] ---
    Whoa! What's all this?
[17:27] ---
    What are we going to do with all this?
    Did you have to absorb this boatload of purines?
[17:32] ---
    B-But, sir,
[17:33] ---
    we have no recourse
    against the mass production of purines.
[17:37] ---
    Don't make excuses!
[17:38] ---
    Listen, you know that uric acid is formed
    when the body breaks down purines!
[17:41] ---
    And if there's an excess buildup of uric acid,
    sharp crystals will form,
[17:42] ---
    Oh man, he's getting yelled out. Poor guy...
[17:44] ---
    and that would mean major trouble!
[17:46] ---
    Yeah.
[17:47] ---
    I'm telling you, it's like every other word
    out of your mouth is some excuse!
[17:52] ---
    That's why you're no good!
[17:53] ---
    Nyuuu...
[17:55] ---
    Nyuuu!
[17:56] ---
    TASTY LACTOSE
[17:57] ---
    - Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
    - Hey! Hey you, get back here!
[17:59] ---
    - Nyuuu!
    - Huh? Wh-What's that thing?
[18:02] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[18:05] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[18:06] ---
    It's eating the purines!
[18:10] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[18:12] ---
    BURP
[18:12] ---
    Burp.
[18:15] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:16] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[18:17] ---
    Is it happy because it's eaten its fill?
[18:20] ---
    Nyuuu?
[18:21] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:25] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:34] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[18:34] ---
    OM
    NOM
    NOM
[18:35] ---
    Wait! Huh? All they're doing
    is devouring the purines?
[18:38] ---
    These guys are pretty docile, huh?
[18:41] ---
    Hey, you're doing us a favor!
[18:43] ---
    Here, eat up these purines, too!
[18:45] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:47] ---
    Aren't they amazing?
    Watch them gobble it all up!
[18:51] ---
    - Nyuuu!
    - Smug!
[18:51] ---
    NYUUU
    SMUG
[18:53] ---
    I see.
[18:54] ---
    So, this is what these lactic acid bacteria do?
[18:57] ---
    Lactic acid bacteria coexist with cells in the body
    in various ways according to type.
[19:02] ---
    These guys can make friends
    with all kinds of cells!

[19:06] ---
    That's incredible!
[19:08] ---
    I guess the small intestine might be
    the ideal place for those germs to live.
[19:13] ---
    Yeah.
[19:15] ---
    Hey!
[19:16] ---
    Nyuuu?
[19:18] ---
    Nyu-nyu-nyuuu!
[19:22] ---
    Take care.
[19:29] ---
    Well, who knew? Lactic acid bacteria
    really does a lot for the body, huh?
[19:34] ---
    Do these guys totally rock or what?
[19:36] ---
    Well, don't get too carried away, Cell boy.
[19:39] ---
    They may be useful, but germs are germs.
[19:41] ---
    If they ever start acting sketchy,
    I'm going to deal with them right away.
[19:45] ---
    And one more thing. Whatever you do,
    don't ever let anyone see them.
[19:49] ---
    If any of the other Immune Cells
    spot them, I—
[19:51] ---
    Hey, check this out, will you?
[19:53] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[19:54] ---
    Ta-da!
[19:55] ---
    A lactic acid bacterium in the hand
    and one on the head!
[19:58] ---
    These guys are so fluffy and adorable!
[20:01] ---
    Go ahead and pet them,
    White Blood Cell!
[20:04] ---
    Huh? Germs nearby? My receptor!
[20:06] ---
    Moron! Hide them! Do you want them to get killed?
[20:07] ---
    Whoa! Don't yell at me!
[20:09] ---
    Huh? There's nothing here.
[20:11] ---
    Wh-Whoa!
[20:12] ---
    Malfunction, I guess.
    This receptor of mine...
[20:14] ---
    Nyuuu!
[20:17] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[20:18] ---
    The lactic acid bacterium!
[20:20] ---
    - Come back here!
    - Cell boy!
[20:22] ---
    Nyuuu!
[20:25] ---
    - Nyuuu!
    - Lactic Acid Bacterium!
[20:32] ---
    What should I do? It's too dangerous
    for him to be on his own!
[20:34] ---
    I have to look for him!
[20:36] ---
    But there's no telling
    where he'll end up inside this vast body.
[20:40] ---
    I know! White Blood Cell, can you notify
    the other Immune Cells right now?
[20:44] ---
    Tell them not to kill
    that lactic acid bacterium!
[20:47] ---
    I'm sorry. I can't do that.
[20:49] ---
    We Neutrophils are unable to present antigens.
[20:53] ---
    I can't tell other Immune Cells
    not to attack him because he's good bacteria.
[21:00] ---
    If he reaches an Immune Cell who can see
    that he's good bacteria, he'll be fine.
[21:06] ---
    But if he gets dealt with
    as a mere foreign substance,
[21:09] ---
    then it would be out of my hands.
[21:11] ---
    Sorry.
[21:12] ---
    No way.
[21:14] ---
    Nyuuu?
[21:16] ---
    I don't get it, White Blood Cell.
[21:21] ---
    You know he's not a bad guy.
[21:24] ---
    Right. Even still...
[21:26] ---
    That little guy...
[21:27] ---
    That little guy must've given it all
    for this this body, too! I know it!
[21:32] ---
    Why would you kill someone like that?
[21:35] ---
    You Immune Cells are jerks!
[21:39] ---
    That's...
[21:40] ---
    That's my...
[21:42] ---
    That's our...
[21:43] ---
    It's our job, that's why.
[21:46] ---
    That voice just now...
[21:51] ---
    Long time no see.

[00:47] ---
    Here I am, taking my job seriously,
[00:50] ---
    and knowingly or not,
    you utter something I can't just ignore.
[00:54] ---
    Do you need to be schooled, perhaps?
[00:57] ---
    If it wasn't for us Immune Cells,
[00:59] ---
    the rest of you cells would be killed off
    by the germs, all right?
[01:04] ---
    And by the way, I'm an NK Cell.
[01:07] ---
    A Lymphocyte who can kill off
    any cell at her own discretion.
[01:11] ---
    You need to watch your mouth, Cell boy.
[01:15] ---
    Back off, NK!
[01:16] ---
    I don't believe you, either, Neutrophil!
[01:19] ---
    What are you doing, acting all buddy-buddy?
[01:22] ---
    I-I'm not acting buddy-buddy at all!
[01:25] ---
    This person's beyond ferocious!
    Are all Immune Cells like her?

[01:31] ---
    Lactic Acid Bacterium,
    please just stay safe!

    "Cytokines."
[03:15] ---
    Nyuuu!
[03:18] ---
    Nyuuu? Nyuuu?
[03:20] ---
    Hey, good morning! I see you're awake...
[03:23] ---
    Nyuuu?
[03:24] ---
    ...little Lactic Acid Bacterium!
[03:26] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[03:30] ---
    I found you passed out
    in the gutter outside, you know.
[03:35] ---
    Nyuuu?
[03:36] ---
    I don't know what happened to you,
    but you should rest up here for a bit.
[03:40] ---
    Want a cookie?
[03:41] ---
    Nyuuu!
[03:43] ---
    I'm Dendritic Cell. Nice to meet you.
[03:47] ---
    I just baked a big batch of these cookies.
    You can take your time eating them, okay?
[03:54] ---
    Nyuuu!
[03:56] ---
    Hey!
[03:57] ---
    Where are you?
[04:00] ---
    Wait for me, Lactic Acid Bacterium!
[04:03] ---
    I'm coming to save you now!
[04:07] ---
    Where are you?
[04:13] ---
    Lactic Acid Bacterium!
[04:16] ---
    Dammit!
[04:18] ---
    I don't even have a clue!
[04:20] ---
    What should I do?
[04:23] ---
    I'm never going to find him, am I?
[04:26] ---
    Oh my!
[04:27] ---
    Are you looking for something?
[04:30] ---
    Would you like us to help you find it?
[04:42] ---
    Th-Th-Th-That won't be necessary!

    Are you sure?
[04:46] ---
    You seemed to be at a loss, so...
[04:49] ---
    We're sorry we couldn't be of use to you.
[04:54] ---
    Good day!
[04:55] ---
    Let's go! Let's go!
[04:56] ---
    Thank you for your hard work.
[05:02] ---
    Hey! By the way,
    what are you two looking for?
[05:05] ---
    Uh, nothing special, really.
[05:07] ---
    Oh?
[05:09] ---
    You sure seem to be searching
    pretty frantically to me.
[05:12] ---
    Hey! Where are you?
[05:15] ---
    Huh? Did you call?
[05:17] ---
    Oh, pardon me.
    Looks like you've got the wrong guy.
[05:21] ---
    Hey, Cell boy... Try not to be
    conspicuous while NK's around!
[05:24] ---
    But I have to find him
    as soon as possible!
[05:28] ---
    Never mind that, NK.
[05:30] ---
    What were you doing there yourself?
[05:33] ---
    Well, let's just say
    I was looking for something, too.
[05:36] ---
    You, looking for something?
[05:40] ---
    Uh, an influenza virus has been detected
    near the small intestine.

[05:44] ---
    Beware of the risk
    of being infected with influenza!

[05:46] ---
    INFLUENZA
    VIRUS
    DETECTED
    NEAR
    THE SMALL
    INTESTINE
[05:47] ---
    All Immune Cells in the area,
    please head to the site immediately!

[05:52] ---
    Lightweights... At a time like this...
[05:54] ---
    NK, what is it that you're looking for?
[05:57] ---
    That red thing there!
[05:59] ---
    Found you, Lactic Acid Bacterium!
[06:02] ---
    Hold up! That's—
[06:03] ---
    Kishaaa!
[06:05] ---
    I-It's a virus-infected cell!
[06:10] ---
    The influenza virus.
[06:11] ---
    The virus responsible
    for the infectious disease influenza.

[06:15] ---
    Falls into three main categories, A, B and C.
[06:18] ---
    Causes symptoms, such as fevers over 100 degrees,
    headaches, joint pain and muscle cramping.

[06:26] ---
    I don't have time to fool around
    with you right now!
[06:39] ---
    What the...
[06:41] ---
    I-It's so strong!
[06:50] ---
    Th-There's something really strange about them!
[07:01] ---
    We came to help out!
[07:04] ---
    Eat this, damn virus!
[07:06] ---
    Take this!
[07:12] ---
    All right! That should do it!
[07:15] ---
    What the...
[07:21] ---
    Memory Cell?
[07:23] ---
    My heart just—
[07:25] ---
    Memory Cell, what's wrong?
[07:27] ---
    No good! It's the end of the world!
[07:30] ---
    Everyone, run for your lives!
    We were utterly powerless!
[07:34] ---
    Just as the stars will one day explode
    and dissolve into the darkness of outer space—
[07:37] ---
    In a nutshell!
[07:40] ---
    B Cell, we have no chance
    against that influenza virus!
[07:43] ---
    Take a good look! Just look at him!
[07:46] ---
    Look at that virus's head!
[07:50] ---
    Those ominous points on his head!
[07:51] ---
    POKE
[07:52] ---
    That's a different type of virus!
[07:55] ---
    Antigenic shift in influenza.
[07:57] ---
    As influenza is prone to mutation,
    the nature of the antigen changes every year.

[08:02] ---
    This is why it can't always be blocked
    by acquired immunity.

[08:06] ---
    Our normal attacks
    aren't going to work on them!
[08:09] ---
    Huh?
[08:11] ---
    For real?
[08:13] ---
    This world is doomed!
[08:24] ---
    CELL
    STILL MISSING
[08:25] ---
    Nyuuu...
[08:26] ---
    Nyuuu!
[08:28] ---
    Lactic Acid Bacterium?
[08:30] ---
    Want some more cookies?
[08:32] ---
    Nyuu... Nyuuu!
[08:34] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[08:36] ---
    And in return, if you don't mind...
[08:40] ---
    there's a favor I'd like to ask of you.
[08:44] ---
    Nyuuu?
[08:48] ---
    I-Influenza's something the body catches
    now and then, right? Is it that scary?
[08:53] ---
    Yeah.
[08:54] ---
    In its normal form,
    we'd have a chance against it,
[08:57] ---
    but it's a lot different if it's gone
    through an antigenic shift!
[09:00] ---
    We don't have a single clue
    about that one! Not a shred of data!
[09:06] ---
    Even so, we can't just let them
    have their way...
[09:08] ---
    or the virus-infected cells
    could multiply like crazy!
[09:11] ---
    Hey! The spores are gathering!
[09:18] ---
    Oh crap! This is going to be
    hit-or-miss, but here goes!
[09:22] ---
    How do you like this?
[09:26] ---
    No good! It's not working!
[09:27] ---
    Let's head into the tunnel for now!
[09:42] ---
    White Blood Cell!
[09:43] ---
    All right, now's your chance!
[09:45] ---
    - Make a run for it!
    - O-Okay!
[09:52] ---
    White Blood Cell!
[09:55] ---
    Outta my way, Ordinary Cell!
[09:57] ---
    I've got my hands full here!
[09:59] ---
    It dodged that?
[10:01] ---
    In that case...
[10:03] ---
    These things...
[10:09] ---
    I've never seen moves like that!
[10:11] ---
    And they're crazy fast!
[10:14] ---
    What's the problem, NK?
[10:15] ---
    Neutrophil and I kill infected cells, too,
    but aren't you the pro among us?
[10:20] ---
    They're dodging all of your attacks!
[10:22] ---
    Sh-Shut up, will you?
[10:24] ---
    I-I'm not losing to a mere influenza virus!
[10:28] ---
    N-NK?
[10:33] ---
    Wh-What the...
[10:35] ---
    What the heck are they doing?
[10:41] ---
    The end is here!
[10:45] ---
    Not good! They're heading this way!
[10:48] ---
    Wh-What?
[10:50] ---
    Are they bringing on a stomachache?
[10:55] ---
    RUMBLE RUMBLE
[10:56] ---
    CHURN CHURN
[10:57] ---
    Wh-What?
[10:58] ---
    Are they bringing on
    a stomachache?
[11:00] ---
    - Run!
    - Or you'll get dragged into it!
[11:03] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[11:04] ---
    Lactic Acid Bacterium!
[11:07] ---
    Lactic Acid Bacterium!
[11:13] ---
    Lactic Acid—
[11:15] ---
    Protect him with your life!
[11:16] ---
    White Blood Cell!
[11:18] ---
    Nyuuu!
[11:19] ---
    Thank goodness you're okay!
[11:21] ---
    Thank you, White Blood Cell!
[11:22] ---
    PLATELETS
[11:24] ---
    NK!
[11:25] ---
    You can't take them on
    in close combat now!
[11:27] ---
    Distance yourself!
[11:32] ---
    Damn... Why can't I...
    kill those low-level scrubs?
[11:38] ---
    I'm done.
[11:43] ---
    What's gotten into you, NK? You're the linchpin
    of our virus-infected cell suppression strategy!
[11:47] ---
    NK, don't tell me you're...
[11:49] ---
    weakened by stress!
[11:51] ---
    Are you in a slump?
[11:52] ---
    I'm a natural-born assassin, and yet...
[11:56] ---
    Immunity and stress.
[11:59] ---
    Under stress, Lymphocyte activity
    becomes sluggish and immunity plummets.

[12:05] ---
    Hey, NK, c'mon!
[12:07] ---
    Who am I anyway?
    Seriously, I've had enough.
[12:10] ---
    NK! Snap out of it!
[12:12] ---
    I can't.
[12:13] ---
    Who's going to stop these guys, then?
[12:17] ---
    When we met up earlier,
[12:19] ---
    I was trying to stand up for you
    because Cell boy was ranting at you.
[12:23] ---
    - But you just got mad at me, Neutrophil!
    - I-Is that right? M-My bad, NK! Thanks!
[12:28] ---
    NK, don't ever lose confidence in yourself!
[12:30] ---
    We're pros!
[12:32] ---
    We've got skills
    that we trained hard to master!
[12:34] ---
    If we join forces,
    we can beat any enemy!
[12:37] ---
    Get yourself motivated!
    Get up! Get up and run!
[12:51] ---
    What's wrong? Are you motivated now—
[12:57] ---
    N-NK, ma'am...
[12:59] ---
    Whatever is the matter?
[13:02] ---
    I'll kill anyone who saw it!
    I'll kill anyone who saw it!
[13:07] ---
    Who the cell had the nerve to unearth this?
[13:17] ---
    NK, are you activated now?
[13:20] ---
    How on earth?
[13:24] ---
    Hey, thanks a lot, Lactic Acid Bacterium.
[13:27] ---
    Nyuuu?
[13:27] ---
    Thanks to all these
    polysaccharides you produced.
[13:31] ---
    Sorry.
[13:32] ---
    Nyu-nyuuu!
[13:41] ---
    For the first time in a long time...
[13:47] ---
    I've been activated!
[13:51] ---
    How lactic acid bacteria works.
[13:53] ---
    Some lactic acid bacteria produce polysaccharides
    which modulate the immune system.

[14:00] ---
    These immunomodulatory polysaccharides
    are said to assist in activating Dendritic Cells.

[14:07] ---
    Good day, everyone!
[14:10] ---
    D-Dendritic Cell? Why are you dressed like that?
[14:13] ---
    Hey, the stomachache's getting closer!
    Let's get out of here!
[14:18] ---
    Everyone! Our enemy today...
[14:23] ---
    is unbelievably strong, right?
[14:26] ---
    Therefore, I'll be glad to support you
    from the shadows today!
[14:33] ---
    Kindly take a look at the photos
    I've handed out!
[14:37] ---
    Please gaze upon your past selves
    and remember from whence you came!
[14:42] ---
    UNDERGOING
    ACTIVATION
[14:48] ---
    The truth is,
    I'd rather not do it this way.
[14:51] ---
    You know, stoop to blackmail.
[14:53] ---
    Then, don't do it!
[14:55] ---
    It's just that... You know,
    it'll motivate you to try harder this way.
[15:00] ---
    The data doesn't lie!
[15:01] ---
    CYTOKINES
[15:03] ---
    So, let me be the first...
[15:05] ---
    to work even harder than usual, all right?
[15:08] ---
    Cytokines.
[15:09] ---
    The blanket term for physiologically active proteins
    secreted by cells to stimulate other cells.

[15:17] ---
    H-Hold up a second, Dendritic Cell!
    Don't go any farther—
[15:20] ---
    We'll give it our all! We'll give it our all
    for sure even without those!
[15:23] ---
    I've already been activated!
    Give me a break!
[15:27] ---
    All right, everyone! Let's get cracking,
    all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed now!
[15:32] ---
    Immunity boost.
[15:34] ---
    When Dendritic Cells are activated,
    they are thought to boost NK activation

[15:39] ---
    and produce antibodies against certain viruses
    through the production of cytokines.

[15:49] ---
    Nooooo!
[15:52] ---
    Oh my, how lovely.
[15:54] ---
    Everyone's going to have
    a field day with these!
[15:58] ---
    Are you kidding me?
[16:04] ---
    Wh-What's this? What's this?
    What's this? What's this? What's this?
[16:08] ---
    B-B-Black History!
[16:11] ---
    Universe!
[16:20] ---
    I'm on fire!
[16:23] ---
    Look how motivated everyone is!
[16:26] ---
    All right.
[16:27] ---
    Let's join in!
[16:33] ---
    Wh-Wh-What the cell is this?
[16:36] ---
    N-No way is this me!
[16:38] ---
    Who the cell is this immature Thymocyte kid
    who's a dead ringer for me?
[16:44] ---
    APPROVED
[16:44] ---
    MOBILIZATION PERMIT
[16:44] ---
    Approved! Approved! Approved!
[17:10] ---
    I see.
[17:11] ---
    So, they were all able to fight like that
    because you activated Dendritic Cell.
[17:17] ---
    That's right. Thanks to all
    the polysaccharides he produced.
[17:21] ---
    Nyuuu!
[17:22] ---
    Lactic Acid Bacterium,
[17:24] ---
    it's all thanks to you that they were able
    to drive out the influenza virus.
[17:27] ---
    Nyuuu!
[17:28] ---
    - You're so tiny, and yet you're so amazing!
    - Nyu-nyuuu!
[17:31] ---
    You're way better than me.
[17:33] ---
    I mean, look at me.
    I dropped you in the waterway
[17:36] ---
    and got blasted away
    by the stomachache.
[17:39] ---
    - Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
    - Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[17:39] ---
    Sorry I put you in danger like that.
[17:42] ---
    Nyuuu?
[17:43] ---
    It looks like someone will be coming
    to pick you up.
[17:46] ---
    Oh, right.
[17:49] ---
    See? Here they are!
[17:55] ---
    Nyu-nyuuu!
[17:58] ---
    Your friends!
[18:00] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[18:05] ---
    I didn't get to spend
    much time with you,
[18:08] ---
    but this is goodbye.
[18:09] ---
    Nyuuu...
[18:12] ---
    Take care of yourself, okay?
[18:13] ---
    Nyu-nyuuu!
[18:16] ---
    Nyu-nyuuu!
[18:18] ---
    Nyu-nyuuu!
[18:22] ---
    So, you're down to one now?
[18:24] ---
    I'll take that one to his friends for you.
[18:27] ---
    Oh...
[18:29] ---
    Right.
[18:31] ---
    Hey, White Blood Cell...
[18:33] ---
    I'm sorry I called you a jerk
    back at the waterway.
[18:37] ---
    I know I said some horrible things.
[18:39] ---
    Even though you were helping us out.
[18:43] ---
    When I got blasted away
    by the stomachache,
[18:45] ---
    I was so happy that you caught
    the lactic acid bacterium.
[18:48] ---
    Thanks.
[18:49] ---
    No, I'm the one who should be apologizing
    to you for scaring you,
[18:54] ---
    for not notifying my friends,
[18:56] ---
    for not being able to help you.
[18:58] ---
    Sorry.
[18:59] ---
    It's okay!
[19:00] ---
    Also...
[19:01] ---
    there's no need to think
    you made me go along with you.
[19:04] ---
    After all, I actually enjoyed myself
    a lot this time—
[19:06] ---
    All right! I'm going to go
    apologize to everyone!
[19:09] ---
    All you Immune Cells!
    Sorry, I had no idea!
[19:12] ---
    Hold up, Cell boy!
[19:14] ---
    Who knew you were being blackmailed
    by embarrassing photos to make you work harder?
[19:18] ---
    Especially you, NK—
[19:20] ---
    I don't know what you're talking about!
[19:22] ---
    Just let her be, all right?
[19:24] ---
    A-Anyway, let me return
    your last bacterium.
[19:27] ---
    Oh, okay.
[19:29] ---
    Wait here for a second.
    I'm going to go talk to NK.
[19:32] ---
    Remember, it's all over
    if they find that one.
[19:35] ---
    R-Right, I forgot!
[19:36] ---
    I'll be right back!
[19:37] ---
    Okay!
[19:44] ---
    It's only you now, huh?
[19:46] ---
    Nyuuu!
[19:48] ---
    Are you lonely?
[19:50] ---
    It's going to be all right.
[19:52] ---
    I'll see to it that you're taken
    to your friends, too.
[19:55] ---
    Nyuuu!
[19:58] ---
    I'll kill that stupid leaf head!
[20:00] ---
    No, that's not it!
[20:01] ---
    Why am I so mentally weak?
[20:04] ---
    NK!
[20:05] ---
    Do you have a minute?
[20:07] ---
    RELAXING TEA
[20:07] ---
    Uh, I'm just telling you
    because it's all over now.
[20:11] ---
    It was that lactic acid bacterium
    that we were searching for.
[20:15] ---
    We were keeping it hidden because
    we wanted to return it to its friends.
[20:18] ---
    Oh really?
[20:19] ---
    I totally don't give a hoot.
[20:21] ---
    It must be fun to have such a peaceful life.
[20:25] ---
    Anyway, NK...
[20:26] ---
    What was it that you were searching for?
[20:30] ---
    Oh, so that's where this is going?
[20:33] ---
    Fine. It's not like it has nothing
    to do with you, so I'll tell you.
[20:37] ---
    Take this as a warning, too.
[20:39] ---
    Neutrophil,
    no matter who the enemy is,
[20:43] ---
    it's in your best interest
    not to think twice before killing it.
[20:46] ---
    You know that the data on all the cells we kill
    is stored as antibody data, right?
[20:53] ---
    And you also know that as long as they have
    that data, cells can replicate, don't you?
[20:58] ---
    Yeah.
[21:00] ---
    A certain cell's antibody data
    has been leaked.
[21:03] ---
    What?
[21:04] ---
    Along with the genetic data
    included in those records.
[21:07] ---
    That cell's already acquired a physical form
    somewhere inside this body.
[21:13] ---
    You remember, don't you?
[21:14] ---
    The one who swore
    to come back to life and kill you...
[21:19] ---
    And now I'm gonna die
    without leaving my mark on this world!

[21:23] ---
    Why was I ever born in the first place?
[21:29] ---
    That's who I'm searching for.
[21:38] ---
    Pretty sweet to have your own body!
[21:44] ---
    Now I can finally see you.
[21:46] ---
    At last.
[21:49] ---
    I can't wait.

[02:09] ---
    Oh, right.
[02:11] ---
    We're almost there. See?
[02:17] ---
    This is the large intestine.
[02:17] ---
    KEEP THE INTESTINE CLEAN
[02:20] ---
    The large intestine.
[02:22] ---
    The organ that absorbs water and minerals
    and produces feces.

[02:26] ---
    Where the final stage
    of digestion is performed.

    is about 1.5 meters in length

[02:32] ---
    and can be divided into the cecum,
    the colon and the rectum.

[02:36] ---
    It is said that several hundred
    different species of bacteria,

[02:39] ---
    totaling one hundred trillion,
    inhabit the large intestine.

[02:44] ---
    Not looking good.
[02:45] ---
    It's gone to ruin, all right.
[02:49] ---
    FRAGILE
    CONDENSED GAS
[02:51] ---
    Let's see.
[02:54] ---
    White Blood Cell! Ordinary Cell!
[02:57] ---
    Thank you for your— good work—
    I just happened— to be delivering—
[03:01] ---
    Are you okay?
[03:04] ---
    I-I can't breathe!
[03:08] ---
    This is toxic gas from the harmful bacteria
    that live in the intestines.
[03:12] ---
    - "Toxic gas"?
    - "Toxic gas"?
[03:15] ---
    The bacterial balance in the gut must be off,
    and the harmful bacteria seem to be predominant.
[03:22] ---
    This is bound to cause
    some harmful effects.
[03:24] ---
    Is that right?
[03:25] ---
    What a stink!
[03:27] ---
    I-I'm going to take care of this delivery right now!
[03:29] ---
    You be careful, okay?
[03:32] ---
    Let's see, this delivery's going to...
[03:36] ---
    WELCOME
    PROBIOTICS
    IN THE LARGE
    INTESTINE
[03:36] ---
    Everyone, please look this way!
[03:39] ---
    PLATELETS
[03:39] ---
    Okay!
[03:44] ---
    TROLLEY
    STOP
[03:46] ---
    Roughly three types of bacteria
    reside in the intestines.
[03:51] ---
    First, the good bacteria
    that are beneficial to the body...
[03:55] ---
    Good bacteria.
[03:57] ---
    Lactic acid bacterium, Lactobacillus gasseri,
    Lactobacillus bifidus and the like

[04:00] ---
    work to boost immunity
    and to stimulate intestinal activity.

[04:07] ---
    Next, the scary harmful bacteria
    that wreak havoc on the body!
[04:13] ---
    Harmful bacteria.
[04:15] ---
    Pathogenic E. coli, Staphylococci,
    Clostridium and the like

[04:20] ---
    cause proteins to degrade
    and produce toxic by-products.

[04:24] ---
    Wasn't that scary?
[04:26] ---
    Yeah!
[04:28] ---
    Last but not least,
[04:29] ---
    Are you okay?
[04:29] ---
    neither good nor bad...
[04:31] ---
    Opportunistic pathogens!
[04:33] ---
    Opportunistic pathogens.
[04:35] ---
    Bacteroides, non-pathogenic E. coli,
    Eubacterium and the like

[04:39] ---
    are all bacteria
    which do neither good nor harm.

[04:44] ---
    They ally themselves with whichever bacteria,
    good or harmful, has the upper hand.

[04:49] ---
    Oh, so cute!
[04:52] ---
    Look how many of them there are!
[04:56] ---
    That was fun, wasn't it?
[04:57] ---
    Do you think
    we can come back sometime?
[04:59] ---
    I hope so!
[05:03] ---
    Hey there!
[05:06] ---
    Oh! Big Sister Red Blood Cell!
[05:09] ---
    Hello, little Platelets!
[05:11] ---
    Hello!
[05:12] ---
    Are you touring this area?
[05:14] ---
    Yes!
[05:15] ---
    Oh! This way, this way!
[05:17] ---
    Go on! Take a look!
[05:18] ---
    It's really cute!
[05:25] ---
    THEATER ROOM
[05:27] ---
    The intestines are said to be home
    to approximately a hundred trillion bacteria in all.
[05:33] ---
    The body's health changes whenever
    there's a shift in the balance between them.
[05:38] ---
    Oh really?
[05:41] ---
    Hey, so his friends are all here?
[05:44] ---
    Yeah.
[05:45] ---
    There are up to a hundred trillion bacteria
    in the intestines, they say.
[05:51] ---
    Wow! That many right here?
[05:54] ---
    Then, we're sure to find them, right?
[05:56] ---
    Yeah.
[05:57] ---
    That'll be a relief.
[05:59] ---
    He doesn't sound
    the least bit relieved.

[06:03] ---
    I wonder what's up with him.
[06:05] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[06:07] ---
    Lactic Acid Bacterium,
    it won't be long now.
[06:09] ---
    There are tons of your friends
    right here, all right?
[06:14] ---
    I bet you have
    some awesome powers of your own!
[06:18] ---
    Nyuuu!
[06:19] ---
    Hey, you need to pipe down!
[06:19] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[06:21] ---
    Hey! You don't want NK to catch on!
[06:23] ---
    She's eagle-eyed, you know!
[06:26] ---
    It's glaringly obvious, guys.
    So ridiculous!

[06:29] ---
    Look, you two, I don't care what you do
    as long as you're quiet.
[06:33] ---
    I don't want him to know
    we're on the move.
[06:37] ---
    Attention!
[06:38] ---
    Squad Leader, please be careful!
[06:40] ---
    We'll be close behind you
    with the antigen presentation signal!
[06:43] ---
    All right!
[06:44] ---
    Now, I've fought with him once in the past.
[06:47] ---
    And I'm going to use that experience today
    to head to the front lines as a Memory T Cell
[06:52] ---
    and finish off the enemy!
[06:55] ---
    Memory T Cell.
[06:57] ---
    Some Killer T Cells
    turn into Memory T Cells

[07:01] ---
    so that they can be ready to attack
    in case the same enemy reappears.

[07:07] ---
    I'm sure you'll miss me,
    but it's going to be okay!
[07:09] ---
    I'll still be looking out for you
    even as a Memory T!
[07:14] ---
    Whether or not you'll be
    up to the fight after losing me...
[07:18] ---
    Nothing worries me more
    as your squad leader.
[07:21] ---
    After all, who else but me
    has the inside track on his moves...
[07:23] ---
    and the ability to land the decisive blow...
[07:24] ---
    The squad leader sure looks thrilled.
[07:26] ---
    He may be mistaking this for a promotion.
[07:29] ---
    But I swear on this cap
    that I'll fulfill my mission.
[07:33] ---
    Though there's no guarantee that any of us
    will be alive when we meet again.
[07:37] ---
    So, I'll be waiting for you all in hell!
[07:41] ---
    Squad Leader!
[07:44] ---
    Man, you're in my way.
[07:50] ---
    Squad Leader!
[07:51] ---
    Killer T!
[07:52] ---
    Wh-What the...
    This abrupt, uncalled for violence is—
[07:56] ---
    Oh my, I'm really sorry. My foot slipped.
[08:00] ---
    NK!
[08:02] ---
    I was wondering what all you passive grunt cells
    were doing, milling around here.
[08:06] ---
    Is it a farewell bash?
    Or maybe you're rehearsing for a play?
[08:10] ---
    How nonchalant!
[08:12] ---
    I'm not sure you even remember who the enemy is
    now that you're so complacent, Memory T Cell.
[08:18] ---
    NK, what did I ever do to you?
[08:22] ---
    NK! Stop provoking Killer T
    so that he'll regain his confidence!
[08:26] ---
    Shut up!
[08:28] ---
    Neutrophil! Did I hear you call me "Killer T"?
[08:32] ---
    Can't you see this cap of mine?
[08:34] ---
    It's "Memory T" today!
[08:37] ---
    - Memory...
    - Memory...
[08:42] ---
    Hey! There you go again, mellowing out
    with an ordinary cell!
[08:46] ---
    Keep that up and you won't even be able
    to kill a lowly germ!
[08:49] ---
    Nyuuu!
[08:51] ---
    "Nyuuu"?
[08:52] ---
    Th-That's not true!
[08:53] ---
    It may seem to be true,
    but actually, it's not true at all!
[08:58] ---
    That's right! It's not true!
    I'm a natural-born killing machine!
[09:02] ---
    And now, I'm off to prepare for battle!
[09:04] ---
    It's dangerous here,
    so you should go somewhere safe!
[09:06] ---
    Yep, yep!
[09:08] ---
    Yeah! You'll only get in my way
    when I battle that guy!
[09:11] ---
    Nyuuu!
[09:11] ---
    NYUUU
[09:13] ---
    I hear something crying.
[09:14] ---
    What are these guys, idiots?
[09:17] ---
    U-Um, I just have a simple question.
[09:20] ---
    Who's this guy you keep mentioning?
[09:28] ---
    - A Cancer Cell.
    - A Cancer Cell.
[09:30] ---
    C-Cancer Cell?
[09:34] ---
    A-A-An enemy like that at large...
    I-I-Isn't that dangerous?
[09:39] ---
    Sure, it's dangerous.
[09:41] ---
    I've got to head out right away
    to crush him. So, Cell boy...
[09:45] ---
    we'll be going our separate ways now.
[09:47] ---
    Huh?
[09:49] ---
    It's time for me to get back to work.
[09:52] ---
    I'm sorry I can't accompany you to the end.
[09:58] ---
    Listen. If you go down this road and take a left,
    you'll reach the tip of the intestinal epithelium.
[10:04] ---
    I'm sure you'll come into contact
    with Lactic Acid Bacterium's friends there.
[10:08] ---
    So, return the little guy,
    then leave the large intestine
[10:11] ---
    and make your way
    back to the pharynx.
[10:15] ---
    Okay.
[10:16] ---
    All right. Keep an eye on your surroundings
    and watch your back.
[10:20] ---
    You can do it, right?
[10:21] ---
    Yeah.
[10:22] ---
    Thanks!
[10:24] ---
    Oh, hold up, White Blood Cell!
[10:30] ---
    Can you tell me one thing before you go?
[10:33] ---
    White Blood Cell,
    why did you protect us?
[10:36] ---
    After all...
[10:39] ---
    you Immune Cells...
[10:42] ---
    If it's for the sake of the body,
[10:44] ---
    you kill bacteria and infected cells
    who used to be your allies.
[10:47] ---
    Killing them is your job, isn't it?
[10:50] ---
    So, how come?
[10:54] ---
    Nyuuu?
[10:56] ---
    Huh?
[10:59] ---
    Right. You're absolutely right.
[11:02] ---
    It's my job to kill.
[11:07] ---
    But...
[11:09] ---
    since all I ever do is kill...
    Maybe that's why...
[11:15] ---
    All right, see you!
[11:16] ---
    Make sure you send him off right!
[11:19] ---
    Nyu-nyuuu! Nyu-nyuuu!
    Nyu-nyuuu!
[11:21] ---
    Right!
[11:28] ---
    This slimy mucin will keep out
    any invading bacteria.
[11:32] ---
    INTESTINAL BARRIER SEEDLINGS
[11:32] ---
    GOBLET
[11:32] ---
    Let's get them set up
    so they don't get breached.
[11:42] ---
    That sounds close.
[11:43] ---
    Yeah.
[11:44] ---
    We'd better hurry!
[11:48] ---
    H-Here it comes!
[11:54] ---
    All right!
    The barrier's holding up like a champ!
[11:58] ---
    You just can't beat mucin for durability.
[12:01] ---
    That was barely a blip on the radar, huh?
[12:04] ---
    Hold up!
[12:07] ---
    - Oh no!
    - There's more on the way!
[12:10] ---
    Let's get out of here!
[12:17] ---
    This way, this way!
[12:25] ---
    Sorry!
[12:29] ---
    There you go!
[12:30] ---
    Thanks, Big Sister!
[12:32] ---
    I wanna ride piggyback!
[12:34] ---
    Me, too!
[12:35] ---
    Me, too! Piggyback!
[12:43] ---
    Ouch!
[12:49] ---
    Um, you see, you see... Um...
[12:53] ---
    Um...
[13:00] ---
    Everyone! Big Sister Red Blood Cell doesn't know
    what to do, so you all need to line up!
[13:06] ---
    Okay!
[13:08] ---
    You're all going to ride?
[13:11] ---
    Wh-What's that?
[13:13] ---
    Whoa!
[13:14] ---
    Excuse me!
    That section seems to be broken—
[13:22] ---
    Is that going to hold up?
[13:23] ---
    Oh, please don't worry about it.
    It happens all the time.
[13:26] ---
    Whaaat?
[13:28] ---
    Lately, with the surge in harmful bacteria,
    the intestines have been a mess!
[13:32] ---
    We're totally at our wits' end!
[13:35] ---
    I-I see that's it's been tough for you all.
[13:40] ---
    Um, go straight here...
[13:43] ---
    I hear there are tons of bacteria
    on the other side of this wall.
[13:47] ---
    Nyuuu?
[13:50] ---
    It's almost time to say goodbye.
[13:52] ---
    Nyuuu!
[13:54] ---
    A lot of terrifying things happened,
    but it sure was fun, Lactic Acid Bacterium!
[13:57] ---
    Nyuuu!
[14:01] ---
    See...
[14:03] ---
    I never had anyone
    to play with when I was a kid,
[14:06] ---
    and I was bored out of my mind.
[14:08] ---
    I was really lonely.
[14:11] ---
    So, meeting you guys...
[14:14] ---
    and traveling all around the body like this...
[14:22] ---
    It was such a blast!
[14:25] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyu-nyuuu!
[14:27] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[14:30] ---
    I told you, it's no use!
[14:34] ---
    Nyuuu?
[14:36] ---
    No good!
[14:37] ---
    The bacteria's attack is too devastating,
    and it's only a matter of time before they invade!
[14:43] ---
    Goblet Cell.
[14:45] ---
    A mucous-secreting Immune Cell
    that produces mucin.

[14:49] ---
    Can also be found in the small intestine
    but particularly abundant in the large intestine.

[14:54] ---
    Hang in there, Goblet Cell!
[14:58] ---
    Intestinal Epithelial Cell.
[15:00] ---
    Absorbs nutrients and water.
[15:03] ---
    Also builds mucous barriers to prevent excessive
    immune responses toward Intestinal Cells.

[15:11] ---
    Do you know how many billions, trillions
    of bacteria there are beyond this wall?
[15:16] ---
    It looks like they're in trouble.
[15:18] ---
    Nyuuu?
[15:19] ---
    Nyuuu!
[15:21] ---
    We Intestinal Epithelial Cells have to hold them off
    with this intestinal barrier!
[15:25] ---
    Oh man! No way are we
    getting there in time now!
[15:29] ---
    I mean it, it's futile! Come back here!
[15:33] ---
    - I-I'll help you!
    - Don't give up!
[15:35] ---
    "With burning hearts!
    With a solid intestinal barrier!"
[15:38] ---
    Isn't that our motto? We have to keep
    fighting until we reach our limit!
[15:42] ---
    And I'm telling you, this is our limit!
[15:47] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu...
[15:49] ---
    There goes all the mucin
    we planted!
[15:53] ---
    Huh?
[16:00] ---
    So, this is the other side of the intestinal wall
    that we've been striving to reach?
[16:03] ---
    Now that we're here,
    it's nothing special.
[16:07] ---
    Not a shred of style.
[16:09] ---
    Who cares? We're going to turn it
    into an oasis for us harmful bacteria!
[16:14] ---
    Toward that end,
[16:16] ---
    we're going to have to start
    by eradicating all of the weeds!
[16:24] ---
    Come on!
[16:32] ---
    Wh-What's going on?
[16:33] ---
    Uh, it looks like
    there's some kind of problem.
[16:36] ---
    It happens all the time!
[16:38] ---
    H-H-H-Huh?
[16:40] ---
    These harmful bacteria
    sure are troublesome!
[16:44] ---
    Oh, you guys should all
    make a run for it, too!
[16:46] ---
    Whaaat?
[16:49] ---
    Are you okay, Platelet?
[16:51] ---
    Yes! I'm fine!
[16:53] ---
    - Better get out of here now!
    - It seems like we've been invaded by bacteria!
[16:58] ---
    Everyone! Watch out, okay?
[17:00] ---
    I can't see in front of me!
[17:11] ---
    The path's going to narrow
    from this point.
[17:13] ---
    All right, then I'll take the lead.
[17:17] ---
    Don't ram into me, you klutz.
[17:23] ---
    I didn't shove you that hard, you know.
[17:25] ---
    Are you that narrow-minded?
[17:33] ---
    Damn you! Can you be
    more unsteady on your feet?
[17:35] ---
    Just go the cell home!
    You're only going to get in my way!
[17:37] ---
    Oh, that's rich! Right back atcha!
[17:39] ---
    You bumped into me first!
[17:41] ---
    Oh yeah? Well, why are you tagging along,
    you miserable loner?
[17:44] ---
    THUNK
[17:45] ---
    I'll take being a loner any day!
    Better than your band of spineless fools!
[17:48] ---
    BOOM
[17:49] ---
    What did you say?
    Didn't I tell you to stay away?
[17:51] ---
    THUMP
[17:52] ---
    It was my long years of experience and intuition
    that led me to determine that he was here!
[17:54] ---
    RUMBLE
[17:55] ---
    You're following me!
[17:56] ---
    WHACK
[17:57] ---
    Hey, how about not clobbering
    each other before the battle?
[17:57] ---
    STAB
[17:59] ---
    SMACK
[18:00] ---
    BANG
[18:02] ---
    All right! We'll be reaching
    the residential area soon!
[18:05] ---
    It'll be teeming with cells! It might be
    unbearable for a social outcast like you!
[18:09] ---
    Killer T, you might want to stop talking now—
[18:11] ---
    Huh? "Killer T"?
[18:13] ---
    Call me "Memory T"! Don't you see this cap?
[18:16] ---
    All right, fine! Just be quiet!
[18:18] ---
    There's no telling
    where the enemy might be lurking!
[18:21] ---
    He's right. Are you a moron or what?
[18:23] ---
    Why are you only telling me off? Not fair!
[18:27] ---
    Shush!
[18:31] ---
    It looks like he's meeting us
    head-on this time.
[18:46] ---
    Hey, NK!
[18:47] ---
    Damn you!
[18:53] ---
    Where is he?
[19:02] ---
    NK!
[19:03] ---
    Go!
[19:08] ---
    You really came back to life just so you could
    throw a tantrum, you stupid Cancer Cell?
[19:12] ---
    Die!
[19:24] ---
    Did I get him?
[19:27] ---
    So, you fell for it!
    He's nothing but a puppet!
[19:33] ---
    Look at all the effort
    you had to put in against a mere doll.
[19:36] ---
    Do you know what you've gotten
    yourselves into, Immune Cells?
[19:40] ---
    Where the heck is that voice coming from?
[20:02] ---
    I'm so thrilled!
[20:04] ---
    It's the trio from before, right?
[20:10] ---
    Cancer Cell!
[20:13] ---
    Cancer Cells.
[20:15] ---
    Cells that multiply uncontrollably
    due to a genetic abnormality.

[20:21] ---
    They overstep the boundaries with neighboring
    cells in a process called "Infiltration."

[20:28] ---
    It's been a long time, huh?
[20:33] ---
    NK Cell...
[20:37] ---
    Killer T, now Memory T Cell...
[20:42] ---
    Lastly...
[20:44] ---
    Neutrophil...
[20:47] ---
    This just might be
    what they call fate, huh?
[20:50] ---
    For the three of you from that day

[00:00] ---
    I wonder what's wrong.
[00:03] ---
    Since he had had that talk with NK,
    things seem kind of tense.

[00:03] ---
    CELL
[00:03] ---
    WHITE BLOOD CELL
[00:08] ---
    - Not looking good.
    - It's gone to ruin, all right.
[00:12] ---
    I-I can't breathe!
[00:14] ---
    This is toxic gas from the harmful bacteria
    that live in the intestines.
[00:18] ---
    - "Toxic gas"?
    - "Toxic gas"?
[00:21] ---
    So, his friends are all here?
[00:23] ---
    Yeah.
[00:24] ---
    There are up to a hundred trillion bacteria
    in the intestines, they say.
[00:30] ---
    Then, we're sure to find them, right?
[00:32] ---
    Yeah.
[00:33] ---
    That'll be a relief.
[00:35] ---
    He doesn't sound
    the least bit relieved.

[00:38] ---
    Look, you two, I don't care what you do
    as long as you're quiet.
[00:42] ---
    I don't want him to know
    we're on the move.
[00:45] ---
    Now, I've fought with him once in the past.
[00:48] ---
    And I'm going to use that experience today
    to head to the front lines as a Memory T Cell
[00:52] ---
    and finish off the enemy!
[00:54] ---
    U-Um, I just have a simple question.
[00:57] ---
    Who's this guy you keep mentioning?
[01:02] ---
    - A Cancer Cell.
    - A Cancer Cell.
[01:04] ---
    C-Cancer Cell?
[01:09] ---
    Are you okay, Platelet?
[01:10] ---
    Yes! I'm fine!
[01:13] ---
    Everyone! Watch out, okay?
[01:15] ---
    I can't see in front of me!
[01:17] ---
    PLATELETS
[01:22] ---
    It looks like he's meeting us
    head-on this time.
[01:39] ---
    Where is he?
[01:47] ---
    You really came back to life just so you could
    throw a tantrum, you stupid Cancer Cell?
[01:51] ---
    Die!
[01:57] ---
    Did I get him?
[02:00] ---
    So, you fell for it!
    He's nothing but a puppet!
[02:05] ---
    Look at all the effort
    you had to put in against a mere doll.
[02:08] ---
    Do you know what you've gotten
    yourselves into, Immune Cells?
[02:21] ---
    I'm so thrilled!
[02:23] ---
    It's the trio from before, right?
[02:27] ---
    Cancer Cell!
[02:29] ---
    It's been a long time, huh?
[02:31] ---
    This just might be
    what they call fate, huh?
[02:34] ---
    For the three of you from that day
    to saunter right toward me.
[02:40] ---
    Now then, which of us, me or you three,
    is on the side of justice?
[02:45] ---
    Let's settle it once and for all.
[02:48] ---
    Here he comes!
[02:51] ---
    Die! Die!
[02:54] ---
    NK!
[04:42] ---
    EPISODE 7:
    CANCER CELL II
    (PART I)
[05:01] ---
    You really are a one-trick pony
    when it comes to attacking!
[05:05] ---
    You saved us, NK!
[05:06] ---
    Hey! You can gloat after you've untied us!
[05:11] ---
    Now then... Boy, would you mind
    telling me something?
[05:15] ---
    Why'd you come back to life
    when you knew you'd only be killed?
[05:20] ---
    Don't tell me you actually thought
    you could win this time!
[05:24] ---
    This is my second time battling you!
[05:26] ---
    Your tactics are a little too exposed
    for you to be picking a fight with me, you know.
[05:32] ---
    It's not that I want
    to pick a fight with you.
[05:36] ---
    It's just that I've found
    what it is I have to do.
[05:40] ---
    And I wanted you three to bear witness.
[06:08] ---
    Surprised?
[06:10] ---
    These are all the same
    as that puppet you just saw.
[06:13] ---
    They're all fragments of my tissue.
[06:16] ---
    You can stab them with your sword,
    but they won't die.
[06:19] ---
    They'll keep moving forever.
[06:21] ---
    There isn't a thing that you can do.
    Just resign yourselves to being my captives.
[06:47] ---
    Behind you, NK!
[06:52] ---
    Over by you, too, Neutrophil!
[07:01] ---
    Who do you think you're dealing with?
[07:02] ---
    I'm Memory T Cell,
    and I've seen every one of your attacks!
[07:07] ---
    Memory T Cell...
[07:10] ---
    I see.
[07:11] ---
    Meaning you're not quite
    the same guy you were before?
[07:14] ---
    You can't escape!
[07:16] ---
    Right now, I can foresee
    your every next move!
[07:21] ---
    Right there!
[07:26] ---
    Kindly cease your attacks.
[07:29] ---
    Those are not the appropriate responses.
[07:32] ---
    He is not an enemy
    from the outside world.
[07:35] ---
    He was born of this body.
[07:37] ---
    He's a cell just like us.
[07:40] ---
    I will not allow any attacks
    on the body itself.
[07:44] ---
    R-Regulatory T Cell...
[07:49] ---
    Regulatory T Cells.
[07:51] ---
    They control the activity of T Cells to prevent them
    from triggering anomalous immune responses.

[07:57] ---
    Wh-Why...
[07:59] ---
    would you...
[08:13] ---
    No good! Memory T!
[08:14] ---
    Watch your back!
[08:22] ---
    N-Neutrophil!
[08:33] ---
    ...146, where are you? Come in!
[08:36] ---
    1146! Where are you?
[08:38] ---
    Just as I thought.
[08:39] ---
    Come in, 1146! Come in—
[08:43] ---
    I knew you'd protect him.
    I was sure you would.
[08:52] ---
    Let's have a nice, long chat...
[08:54] ---
    instead of killing each other.
[08:56] ---
    Okay?
[09:05] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[09:07] ---
    Are those germs still behind us?
[09:09] ---
    I'm not sure!
[09:11] ---
    Just keep running!
[09:17] ---
    Nyuuu!
[09:30] ---
    We're going to keep our handkerchiefs
    pressed to our mouths and run low to the ground!
[09:34] ---
    Okay!
[09:38] ---
    It looks like the intestine
    is in even worse shape than before.
[09:48] ---
    Big Sister Red Blood Cell...
[09:50] ---
    What is it?
[09:51] ---
    You see, you see... I don't think
    we can take this path.
[09:55] ---
    See? Look!
[09:56] ---
    NO ENTRY
[09:56] ---
    You can't come this way!
[09:58] ---
    The bacteria's invaded the area up ahead!
[10:00] ---
    What?
[10:01] ---
    Take another route
    and run as fast as you can!
[10:03] ---
    R-Right!
[10:05] ---
    I'm so scared...
[10:06] ---
    Big Sister Red Blood Cell!
[10:09] ---
    We're going to be fine, Backward Cap.
[10:13] ---
    The Platelets seem really anxious.
[10:16] ---
    I have to be their rock now!
[10:19] ---
    You guys, we're going to run
    at top speed, okay?
[10:21] ---
    Okay!
[10:38] ---
    NK! Memory T!
[10:43] ---
    Cancer Cell!
[11:01] ---
    Memory T!
[11:03] ---
    Let me out of here, Cancer Cell!
[11:05] ---
    Wasn't I the one you wanted to kill?
[11:07] ---
    If you have a grudge against me,
    then I'll take you on!
[11:11] ---
    That won't do, White Blood Cell.
[11:13] ---
    You shouldn't fly off the handle
    when you're all banged up.
[11:16] ---
    You need to value your own life more.
[11:19] ---
    If you agree to what I'm about to say,
[11:22] ---
    I'll let you out of there right away.
[11:25] ---
    Since I'm sure it's tearing you apart
    to be locked up and helpless.
[11:32] ---
    Regulatory T Cell,
    open this door, will you?
[11:36] ---
    I'll do it! I'll kill this Cancer Cell! So please!
[11:40] ---
    Kill? I can't open that door
    if you're going to kill him.
[11:44] ---
    As he's in no way an external enemy.
[11:48] ---
    Regulatory T Cell's role.
[11:50] ---
    Regulatory T Cells are responsible
    for reining in the activity of Immune Cells,

[11:54] ---
    preventing them from attacking the body's
    own tissues or cells that are beneficial to the body.

[12:00] ---
    In this case, as the Cancer Cell
    originated from this body,

[12:04] ---
    instead of recognizing him
    as a foreign substance, a non-self cell,

[12:07] ---
    she is trying to suppress
    the Immune Cells' attacks.

[12:14] ---
    It's not like she's betraying you guys.
[12:16] ---
    This is that lady's job, I hear.
[12:20] ---
    Cancer Cell, I'm gonna kill—
[12:25] ---
    You mustn't...
[12:26] ---
    ever attack other cells.
[12:30] ---
    Isn't this amusing?
[12:31] ---
    You normal cells are all so dead serious.
[12:35] ---
    And yet, despite being dead serious...
[12:39] ---
    White Blood Cell...
[12:41] ---
    you rescued that ordinary cell
    and those Lactic Acid Bacteria, didn't you?
[12:45] ---
    About that...
    The only reason I didn't kill them
[12:48] ---
    was because those bacteria
    weren't toxic to this body! That's all!
[12:51] ---
    Sure. I get that, all right.
[12:54] ---
    But the thing is, I've changed my mind
    somewhat. It got me thinking.
[13:00] ---
    Lives that are necessary
    and lives that are not...
[13:03] ---
    Why does such a distinction
    have to made at all?
[13:07] ---
    When it's so tragic for us to be taking lives
    or being robbed of our lives,
[13:12] ---
    why do we have to keep repeating
    that cycle over and over again?
[13:17] ---
    What do you think?
    Have you ever had a thought like that?
[13:21] ---
    It's for the sake of this body!
[13:23] ---
    Because it's necessary!
    That's why we die and kill!
[13:28] ---
    That's what I thought you'd say.
[13:30] ---
    Okay, then let's take it a bit further.
[13:33] ---
    Which is more important?
[13:36] ---
    The lives of trillions of cells?
[13:39] ---
    Or this body's one life?
[13:44] ---
    We cells are killed, burn with hatred
    for each other and are sacrificed
[13:48] ---
    all so that this body can go on living.
[13:51] ---
    Those of us who get killed, and you guys,
    the ones who kill... We've all suffered so much.
[13:56] ---
    So, how about a world where we cells
    don't have to kill or be killed at all?
[14:02] ---
    Even if it's a world gone mad,
    approaching death...
[14:07] ---
    If it's to make that world a reality
    even for a split second...
[14:11] ---
    don't you think we'd be justified
    in sacrificing the life of this body?
[14:15] ---
    I won't let you!
[14:16] ---
    No way will I ever let you do such a thing!
[14:19] ---
    Let me out of here, Cancer Cell!
[14:21] ---
    I'll kill you! You're horrendously wrong,
    but I'll set you straight!
[14:25] ---
    If this body dies, that means
    that all of us cells will die with it, too!
[14:30] ---
    Sure, we'll die.
[14:32] ---
    But we'll die after we've been liberated.
[14:34] ---
    And it's my job to make that happen.
[14:38] ---
    There's nothing wrong about that at all.
[14:40] ---
    There's no way you could pull that off—
[14:42] ---
    Oh, I can pull it off.
[14:45] ---
    Regulatory T Cell is siding with me.
    Not to mention...
[14:51] ---
    this place, as well.
[15:08] ---
    Th-Those fumes are...
[15:12] ---
    harmful bacteria...
[15:14] ---
    toxins!
[15:21] ---
    When the new world is completed...
[15:24] ---
    then let's be friends, all right,
    White Blood Cell, you kindhearted assassin?
[15:30] ---
    Stop!
[15:56] ---
    Don't do it, Cancer Cell!
[16:15] ---
    NK! Memory T! Regulatory T Cell!
    Are you all right?
[16:19] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[16:22] ---
    So, you're more worried
    about your friends than yourself?
[16:26] ---
    You know, that's what I like about you
[16:30] ---
    along with all the contradictions you bear.
[16:33] ---
    Even though you can only live
    for someone else's sake,
[16:36] ---
    you were born a cell
    who can do nothing but kill others.
[16:40] ---
    Watching you, I feel
    such pity and impatience.
[16:45] ---
    And it's so entertaining.
[16:46] ---
    How dare you!
[16:50] ---
    I'm sick of all your yammering,
    you annoying little punk!
[17:01] ---
    Cancer Cell, I'm gonna kill—
[17:04] ---
    You mustn't...
[17:06] ---
    ever attack other cells.
[17:07] ---
    Do you realize you've been repeating
    the same conversation over and over?
[17:11] ---
    - What are you, a moron?
    - Sh-Shut the cell up!
[17:13] ---
    As if...
[17:14] ---
    I had time...
[17:15] ---
    to think...
[17:16] ---
    of different lines...
[17:17] ---
    every single time!
[17:18] ---
    I totally agree.
[17:19] ---
    In the first place...
[17:21] ---
    is that the only move you've got,
    pounding him head-on?
[17:24] ---
    Can you at least try a different move
    for once, you idiot?
[17:28] ---
    Shut up! This is how I've always been, moron!
[17:33] ---
    That's right.
[17:34] ---
    This is how you've always been.
[17:37] ---
    Tactics were never your strong suit.
[17:40] ---
    Easily swayed by your emotions,
[17:42] ---
    unable to thrive on victory,
[17:44] ---
    and unable to use defeat as a stepping-stone...
[17:50] ---
    You will never be able
    to defeat me like that.
[17:52] ---
    It's futile to even struggle.
[17:54] ---
    Just let it go and cease your attacks.
[17:59] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:16] ---
    W-We're surrounded! What should I do?
[18:19] ---
    TREMBLE
    TREMBLE
[18:19] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:22] ---
    Lactic acid bacteria.
[18:23] ---
    Good bacteria that work to support
    the health of the human body.

[18:27] ---
    They have a variety of features.
[18:30] ---
    It's all right, Lactic Acid Bacterium!
[18:32] ---
    I'll p-protect—
[18:34] ---
    Huh! This cell just said he's going to protect
    that lactic acid bacterium!
[18:39] ---
    That's pretty funny, you know.
[18:41] ---
    Harmful bacteria.
[18:42] ---
    Pathogenic E. coli, Staphylococci,
    Clostridium and the like

[18:47] ---
    cause proteins to degrade
    and produce toxic by-products.

[18:51] ---
    Why don't we test you to see
    if you can really protect it?
[18:54] ---
    I wonder if you can withstand this.
[18:56] ---
    The Harmful Bacteria Toxic Attack!
[18:59] ---
    Nyuuu!
[19:01] ---
    The toxicity of harmful bacteria.
[19:04] ---
    Toxic effects of harmful bacteria include intestinal
    putrefaction, production of toxins and carcinogens.

[19:13] ---
    A host of deleterious effects to the human body
    can ensue, such as a weakened immune system,

[19:20] ---
    foul-smelling stools and gas,
    and diarrhea or constipation.

[19:26] ---
    - My legs!
    - Nyuuu!
[19:29] ---
    Show us a good time, Cell boy!
[19:32] ---
    We came all this way to this side
    of the intestinal wall
[19:35] ---
    only to find it duller than we thought,
    so it's been a real gut punch for us!
[19:41] ---
    We're going to torment you every which way,
    so be sure to show us some juicy reactions!
[19:46] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyu-nyuuu!
[19:50] ---
    Nyuuu!
[19:53] ---
    Nyuuu!
[19:56] ---
    What kind of a lame attack is this?
[19:58] ---
    Nyuuu!
[20:01] ---
    Lactic Acid Bacterium!
[20:07] ---
    Nyuuu!
[20:09] ---
    Huh! You miserable good bacteria runt...
[20:11] ---
    You're a germ,
    and yet you're sucking up to a cell?
[20:15] ---
    If you dare turn on us,
    I'll obliterate you first!
[20:17] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[20:19] ---
    Stay away, Lactic Acid Bacterium!
[20:21] ---
    Just run away as far as you can!
[20:22] ---
    Nyuuu?
[20:23] ---
    Don't worry about me!
    Just run and save yourself! Hurry!
[20:27] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[20:31] ---
    You dummy! Go now!
[20:32] ---
    Hey, he's...
[20:34] ---
    Get out of here now! I said go!
[20:41] ---
    Nyuuu...
[20:44] ---
    Get out of my sight!
[20:50] ---
    Nyuuu!
[20:52] ---
    Nyuuu!
[20:56] ---
    Huh! Now that was one lame farce
    you made us watch.
[21:00] ---
    Sorry that you were the only one
    who got such a sad goodbye.
[21:08] ---
    But it's all right. As long as you can
    go on living, that's enough.
[21:16] ---
    Grow up to be a strong, fine
    lactic acid bacterium, okay?
[21:19] ---
    Now then, are you ready?
[21:23] ---
    Time for us to have some fun!

    EPISODE 8: CANCER CELL II (PART II)
[01:31] ---
    "Cancer Cell II (Part II)."
[01:36] ---
    All right, how should we go about this?
[01:39] ---
    Where should the first slash go?
[01:41] ---
    Harmful bacteria.
[01:43] ---

    in various ways.

[01:56] ---
    Impressive! You harmful bacteria
    are the entertainers of evil!
[02:01] ---
    Incredible! Letting him know
    what you're about to do to him...
[02:05] ---
    How insanely cruel!
[02:07] ---
    How about slamming him against the wall
    with your tentacles next?
[02:11] ---
    Opportunistic pathogens.
[02:13] ---
    Bacteroides, non-pathogenic E. coli,
    Eubacterium and the like

[02:16] ---
    are all bacteria
    which do neither good nor harm.

[02:21] ---
    They make up roughly 70 percent
    of the bacteria in the intestines.

[02:27] ---
    Shut up, opportunistic pathogens!
[02:29] ---
    I'm trying to come up with the most artistic
    way of tormenting this cell in the name of evil!
[02:34] ---
    So, don't disturb me!
[02:36] ---
    So brutal! I'm getting goosebumps!
[02:38] ---
    Well, not that I can blame you
    opportunistic bacteria
[02:42] ---
    for being enthralled by our cool evil souls.
[02:47] ---
    Watch and learn!
[02:48] ---
    - Woo-hoo!
    - Hey there, Mr. President!
[02:50] ---
    You're so cool!
[02:52] ---
    All right, what should I do?
[02:54] ---
    Should I start dismembering you
    from the fingertips?
[02:58] ---
    Okay, I've got it.
[03:00] ---
    Your eyes!
[03:07] ---
    WHITE BLOOD CELL
[03:09] ---
    Damn!
[03:11] ---
    White Blood Cells!
[03:14] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Cell boy!
[03:19] ---
    You've got a lot of nerve, rampaging
    around the biggest immune system in the body!
[03:23] ---
    It's punishment time, you lousy germs!
[03:27] ---
    Gut immunity.
[03:28] ---
    The ability to fight off and eliminate bacteria
    and viruses invading the body is called "immunity."

[03:34] ---
    The digestive tract acts as a barrier
    to protect against infection

[03:38] ---
    and is said to be home to upward of 50 percent
    of the body's immune system.

[03:44] ---
    Wh-What should we do, Harmful Bacterium?
[03:47] ---
    Hold your ground! So unsightly!
[03:49] ---
    Huh! We've still got...
[03:53] ---
    the edge in sheer numbers!
[03:55] ---
    What the...
    Where'd all these come from?
[03:57] ---
    This staggering number of opportunistic
    bacteria are all my allies!
[04:02] ---
    In an environment where
    the harmful bacteria hold sway...
[04:04] ---
    you should be mortified that you were ever rash
    enough to show your idiotic faces even for a second!
[04:10] ---
    Numbers! The symbol of power!
[04:12] ---
    There is no higher aesthetic
    for us bacteria than to win by numbers!
[04:42] ---
    THUNK
[04:42] ---
    POP POP
[04:42] ---
    RUMBLE
    RUMBLE
[04:42] ---
    NYUUU
[04:42] ---
    Nyuuu!
[04:43] ---
    A-Are those good bacteria?
[04:46] ---
    Good bacteria.
[04:47] ---
    Lactic acid bacterium, Lactobacillus gasseri,
    Lactobacillus bifidus and the like

[04:51] ---
    work to boost immunity
    and to stimulate intestinal activity.

[04:56] ---
    Their actions are beneficial
    for the human body's health.

[05:02] ---
    Nyuuu!
[05:07] ---
    Nyuuu!
[05:11] ---
    Nyuuu!
[05:15] ---
    How can there be so much good bacteria?
[05:18] ---
    Hey, opportunistic bacteria!
[05:20] ---
    What are you doing?
    Get rid of them already—
[05:22] ---
    TRAMPLE
    TRAMPLE
[05:23] ---
    Huh?
[05:23] ---
    CRUSH
    CRUSH
[05:25] ---
    Quit nagging, will you?
    The environment's changed, all right?
[05:28] ---
    Right! What do you mean
    by "artistic" and "cool evil"?
[05:32] ---
    Don't be full of yourselves! How troublesome!
[05:35] ---
    From now on, it will be
    the Age of Good Bacteria!
[05:37] ---
    It's time for us to find our place
    among the beautiful and wholesome bacteria!
[05:42] ---
    The nature of opportunistic pathogens.
[05:44] ---
    They ally themselves with whichever bacteria,
    good or harmful, has the upper hand.

[05:49] ---
    So... So anyway...
[05:51] ---
    FLIP-FLOP
[05:51] ---
    let's all get along and be friends, everyone!
[05:55] ---
    Not by a long shot.
[05:57] ---
    All you germs guilty of unlawful entry,
    get the cell out!
[06:04] ---
    PLATELETS
[06:10] ---
    We should feel a little safer here, huh?
[06:13] ---
    Oh look, Big Sister!
[06:15] ---
    Huh?
[06:19] ---
    Wait, something's changed?
[06:25] ---
    - It's easier to breathe!
    - Yeah!
[06:29] ---
    Come to think of it...
[06:31] ---
    This is toxic gas from the harmful bacteria
    that live in the intestines.

[06:36] ---
    The bacterial balance in the gut must be off,
    and the harmful bacteria seem to be predominant.

[06:42] ---
    CELL
[06:42] ---
    This is bound to cause some harmful effects.
[06:45] ---
    I wonder if White Blood Cell is all right.
[06:52] ---
    Memory T! NK!
[06:54] ---
    Don't worry.
[06:56] ---
    I'm not planning to kill them.
[06:58] ---
    There!
[07:01] ---
    Stop!
[07:02] ---
    Knock it off!
[07:05] ---
    Cancer Cell!
[07:07] ---
    Why? Why won't you fight me?
    Fight me!
[07:12] ---
    I don't want to.
[07:13] ---
    Because what I like about you
    is how self-contradictory you are.
[07:16] ---
    You're the same as me,
    writhing within your preordained destiny.
[07:20] ---
    I don't want to kill a friend.
[07:23] ---
    That's right. Unlike you...
[07:28] ---
    I detest you!
[07:30] ---
    Because you called me "a goddamn bug"!
[07:32] ---
    Stop! Isn't that enough?
[07:34] ---
    Step away from Memory T!
[07:42] ---
    I can't tell you how glad I am that I brought
    the three of you here.
[07:46] ---
    I like you, White Blood Cell!
[07:48] ---
    I could sit and chat with you
    about all kinds of things.
[07:50] ---
    As for Memory T and NK,
    I hate you both!
[07:53] ---
    What wouldn't I give to demolish
    everything you hold dear?
[07:57] ---
    I can turn those emotions into energy
[07:59] ---
    and acquire that power
    way sooner than I thought!
[08:03] ---
    If I divide once, it'll be double.
[08:05] ---
    Divide again, and I can double again!
[08:08] ---
    A mere thirty divisions will result...
[08:13] ---
    in more than a billion of my friends.
[08:17] ---
    Try and stop me if you can...
[08:20] ---
    my hard-working Immune Cells.
[08:25] ---
    It's too soon for a victory lap.
[08:30] ---
    I still have my...
[08:32] ---
    trump card left.
[08:35] ---
    Bursting at the seams with my memories...
[08:40] ---
    The ultimate secret technique!
[08:42] ---
    Memory T?
[08:44] ---
    That moron... What in the world is he...
[08:47] ---
    And it's called...
[08:52] ---
    The T Cell Ultimate Secret Technique...
[08:54] ---
    "Perforin Cannon Punch"!
[09:01] ---
    "T Cell Per—" What?
[09:03] ---
    Huh?
[09:04] ---
    "T..." Huh?
[09:06] ---
    What was that?
[09:08] ---
    "T Cell Puerile Cretin Panties"?
[09:12] ---
    That's "T Cell Perforin Cannon Punch"!
[09:15] ---
    Secret technique?
[09:19] ---
    The thymus.
[09:20] ---
    The lymphoid organ
    where Precursor T Cells are differentiated

[09:25] ---
    and then mature
    into full-fledged T Cells.

[09:38] ---
    Hey, you were hopeless a little while ago,
    but these days you're on fire!

[09:43] ---
    That was just dumb luck.
[09:44] ---
    But I'm going to keep grinding away
    and hone my skills. You'll see.

[09:48] ---
    Actually, the way you're going...
    Oh, but I shouldn't say it...

[09:51] ---
    Oh come on, spit it out!
[09:52] ---
    Well... See...
[09:54] ---
    I'm thinking that a cell of your caliber just might
    be able to master that ultimate secret technique.

[10:00] ---
    Ultimate secret technique?
[10:03] ---
    Yeah.
[10:03] ---
    It's called the "T Cell Ultimate Secret Technique"...
[10:07] ---
    Perforin...
[10:08] ---
    Cannon Punch!
[10:11] ---
    Perforin.
[10:12] ---
    A chemical released by Killer T Cells
    upon attacking infected cells.

[10:18] ---
    It's a legendary move
    that can only be unleashed

[10:21] ---
    when a T Cell's urge to protect the world
    intensifies to its maximum peak inside him.

[10:27] ---
    They say that whoever's on the receiving end
    of its devastating force and impact

[10:30] ---
    ends up getting blasted away
    like they were smashed with a massive fist.

[10:37] ---
    "Ultimate Secret Technique"...
[10:40] ---
    Emotions... Making your fist... Massive...
[10:44] ---
    The T Cell Ultimate Secret Technique...
[10:47] ---
    Perf... Perforin Cannon Punch!
[10:49] ---
    Whoops, I mangled it.
[10:50] ---
    Oh jeez, he's really practicing it!
[10:52] ---
    Who would've thought
    he'd swallow a dumbass story like that?

[10:55] ---
    Like that kind of move even exists!
[10:56] ---
    Perforin C-Cannon Panty!
[10:59] ---
    Oh crap, my arm cramped up!
[11:02] ---
    What are those guys doing?
[11:05] ---
    They just want to reassure themselves
    by looking down on others. What a pair of morons.

[11:34] ---
    You're not going to get your way.
[11:37] ---
    Oh?
[11:44] ---
    Eat this!
[11:45] ---
    T Cell...
[11:47] ---
    Perforin Cannon Punch!
[12:01] ---
    T Cell Perforin Cannon Punch!
[12:29] ---
    It really...
[12:31] ---
    worked!
[12:36] ---
    Wh-Wh-What the cell
    was that baffling move just now?
[12:39] ---
    Regulatory...
[12:41] ---
    Regulatory T Cell!
[12:43] ---
    You're supposed to suppress his attacks!
[12:45] ---
    Why did you just dodge now?
[12:47] ---
    It's your job to protect me—
[12:50] ---
    I should've known better.
[12:52] ---
    I seem to have misperceived you.
[12:54] ---
    Huh?
[12:56] ---
    You are not a cell
    that warrants protection.
[13:01] ---
    Now, at last, I've realized my error.
[13:07] ---
    Upon closer inspection, I can see...
[13:10] ---
    that you're not a cell...
[13:12] ---
    CLL
[13:12] ---
    but rather a "cll."
[13:14] ---
    That's what convinced you?
[13:16] ---
    Regulatory T Cell's role.
[13:19] ---
    Once she's perceived a change
    in a Cancer Cell,

[13:22] ---
    Regulatory T Cell no longer recognizes it
    as a cell to be protected.

[13:27] ---
    Because I'm a "cll," not a "cell"?
[13:31] ---
    Is that it?
[13:32] ---
    That's correct.
[13:33] ---
    And I'm not a cell
    that warrants protection, huh?
[13:37] ---
    So, that means you're no longer
    on my side, right?
[13:41] ---
    Well, I guess that's fine by me.
[13:43] ---
    If that's what you think, Regulatory T Cell,
    then that's fine by me.
[13:48] ---
    But...
[13:50] ---
    you're going to have to stay out of my way!
[13:53] ---
    I told you!
    I know all your tricks!
[13:56] ---
    CLENCH
[13:56] ---
    Nailed it!
[14:00] ---
    And I told you, remember?
[14:02] ---
    Slashing me does no good!
[14:05] ---
    Stop making me repeat myself!
[14:07] ---
    I'm telling you, I know all your tricks!
    Didn't you hear—
[14:16] ---
    What's wrong?
    I thought you knew all my tricks!
[14:26] ---
    Whoa! Whoa!
[14:28] ---
    All right, let's finish this now, Immune Cells.
[14:34] ---
    Damn!
[14:42] ---
    I'll kill you!
[14:49] ---
    Damn!
[14:50] ---
    Crap! Damn, you're hard!
[15:08] ---
    Won't be long now.
[15:10] ---
    This is...
[15:13] ---
    the end!
[15:37] ---
    The new world...
[15:40] ---
    Now we can be free!
[15:43] ---
    And...
[15:46] ---
    It's over now.
[15:49] ---
    The only thing that's over is you!
[15:56] ---
    - You goddamn bug!
    - You miserable Cancer Cell!
[15:59] ---
    - Die!
    - Die!
[16:08] ---
    I'm telling you, you can slash me,
    you can stab me, and I won't die.
[16:14] ---
    My wings! Wh-Why?
[16:22] ---
    I can't maintain my strength!
[16:25] ---
    I'm no longer getting a boost?
[16:29] ---
    But why?
[16:35] ---
    It looks like the intestinal
    environment's changed,
[16:37] ---
    so now the toxins from the harmful bacteria
    that were empowering you are dwindling.
[16:46] ---
    White Blood Cell—
[17:02] ---
    I've been defeated.
[17:05] ---
    So, I lose again, huh?
[17:09] ---
    Oh well, that's fine.
[17:12] ---
    I'd rather be killed by a friend
[17:16] ---
    than by someone I hate. This is way better.
[17:21] ---
    See you... my gentle assassin... White...
[17:26] ---
    Blood... Cell...
[17:38] ---
    All right, it's over!
[17:44] ---
    You guys...
[17:45] ---
    You've gotten so big!
[17:48] ---
    Nyuuu!
[17:51] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[17:54] ---
    Lactic acid bacteria.
[17:56] ---
    Good bacteria that work to support
    the health of the human body.

[17:59] ---
    They have a variety of features.
[18:03] ---
    Nyuuu?
[18:05] ---
    I'm okay.
[18:08] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:10] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[18:12] ---
    Thank goodness, Lactic Acid Bacterium!
[18:14] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:16] ---
    Hey, thanks for coming to save me!
[18:18] ---
    Nyuuu?
[18:20] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:22] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[18:30] ---
    The Cancer Cell has been vanquished!
[18:34] ---
    The crisis is over!
[18:36] ---
    IT REALLY WORKED...
[18:36] ---
    It really worked.
[18:37] ---
    Yes, it did.
[18:37] ---
    YES, IT DID.
[18:41] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:43] ---
    Whoa! Amazing!
[18:45] ---
    Just look at him repair
    the intestinal wall for us!
[18:48] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:50] ---
    How lactic acid bacteria works.
[18:52] ---
    Some lactic acid bacteria directly stimulate
    the Intestinal Epithelial Cells

[18:57] ---
    to help maintain the intestinal tract's
    barrier functions.

[19:01] ---
    Lactic Acid Bacterium, you're awesome!
[19:04] ---
    Thanks to you guys,
    the intestinal environment's improving!
[19:07] ---
    Nyuuu!
[19:09] ---
    You did great, too, Cell boy!
[19:11] ---
    Huh? Me?
[19:13] ---
    Bringing those lactic acid bacteria
    back to their friends
[19:17] ---
    helped to improve
    the intestinal environment.
[19:20] ---
    It was you who rescued us. Thanks.
[19:27] ---
    Jeez. Just once in my life,
    if someone would say...

[19:29] ---
    "Thank you for rescuing me!"
[19:31] ---
    What wouldn't I give to hear those words?
[19:35] ---
    You mean I...
[19:37] ---
    I was able to help out, too?
[19:40] ---
    Yeah!
[19:41] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[19:43] ---
    Intestinal environment and immunity.
[19:45] ---
    Three different types of bacteria reside
    in the intestines. Good, harmful and opportunistic.

[19:52] ---
    The intestinal environment changes whenever
    there is a shift in the balance between them.

[19:56] ---
    When the number of good bacteria increases,
    there's a boost in immunity.

[20:00] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[20:08] ---
    Intestinal flora.
[20:10] ---
    There are good, harmful and opportunistic bacteria
    residing in the intestinal tract,

[20:16] ---
    comprising hundreds of billions of bacteria
    from hundreds of different species.

[20:21] ---
    Because it looks like a flower bed of colonies
    of various plants in the intestinal tract,

[20:28] ---
    it's called "intestinal flora."
[20:33] ---
    So, this...
[20:35] ---
    This is the world where you guys live, huh?
[21:09] ---
    We're totally drenched.
[21:11] ---
    Yeah.
[21:26] ---
    Goodbye...
[21:29] ---
    Lactic acid bacteria.
[21:37] ---
    Oh! White Blood Cell!
    Thanks for your hard work!
[21:39] ---
    CHOPSTICKS
[21:40] ---
    Hey there! Good work!
[21:42] ---
    Thank goodness!
    So, you're all right!
[21:45] ---
    Yeah! You, too!
[21:47] ---
    Oh, I almost forgot!
[21:48] ---
    I've been delivering nutrients,
    and I've gone all the way around...
[21:54] ---
    And the apartment belonging
    to that cell in the pharynx...
[21:57] ---
    You wouldn't believe
    what's happened to it!
[21:59] ---
    Huh?
[22:00] ---
    SINCE YOU'RE NOT
    AT HOME,
    WE'LL BE BACK LATER
    TO REPAIR YOUR DOOR.
    PLATELETS
[22:03] ---
    DELIVERY
    NOTICE
[22:04] ---
    Look at this huge pile
    of missed delivery notices!
[22:08] ---
    No food for me, then?
[22:10] ---
    GROWL
[22:13] ---
    Maybe I'll send him a snack later.
[22:15] ---
    And we'll do our best to get his nutrients
    delivered as soon as possible!
[22:20] ---
    Right, try and do that, will you?
[22:21] ---
    Hey, Senpai!
[22:24] ---
    Time to get back to work!
[22:26] ---
    Oh, okay!
[22:29] ---
    All right, White Blood Cell...
[22:30] ---
    SEEDLING SOUP
[22:30] ---
    If you'll excuse me...
[22:33] ---
    Yeah! See ya around!
[22:37] ---
    All right, Naive Cells, check this out!
[22:40] ---
    In that moment,
    my punch will transform into...
[22:43] ---
    the T Cell Ultimate Secret Technique!
[22:47] ---
    Perfavore Cannon Punch!
[22:51] ---
    SWOOSH
[22:51] ---
    Whoops, mangled it a bit!
[22:53] ---
    That just looks
    like a regular punch to me.
[22:55] ---
    I know.
[22:56] ---
    One more time!
[22:57] ---
    Parfyorin Can...
[23:00] ---
    FRAGILE
    CONDENSED GAS
[23:02] ---
    This is the inside
    of a human body.

[23:06] ---
    Roughly 37 trillion cells
[23:09] ---
    are working energetically
    and with all their might again today.

[23:19] ---
    Thank you for waiting!
[23:20] ---
    Here's your oxygen for the day!
