RED BLOOD CELLS
**[01:56] ---**
*Red Blood Cell.*
**[01:57] ---**
*Her red color is due
to the large amounts of hemoglobin.*

EPISODE 1: PNEUMOCOCCUS
**[02:04] ---**
If you could please sign here...
**[02:06] ---**
Thanks!
**[02:08] ---**
Thanks for your hard work!
**[02:09] ---**
Well, I hope to serve you again!
**[02:15] ---**
Huh?
**[02:17] ---**
What is this?
**[02:18] ---**
Oh, no! Here they come!
**[02:19] ---**
Run!
**[02:20] ---**
Whoa! The vascular endothelial cells...
**[02:34] ---**
Seems like a pretty damn comfortable place!
**[02:39] ---**
Not too hot, not too cold.
**[02:41] ---**
And looks like there's tons and tons of food!
**[02:45] ---**
It's settled!
Starting today, this is our land!
**[02:52] ---**
First of all...
**[02:55] ---**
Let's get these annoying residents outta the way!
**[03:04] ---**
WHITE BLOOD CELL
**[03:04] ---**
Die, germ!
**[03:07] ---**
Die!
**[03:09] ---**
Who are these guys?
**[03:17] ---**
This is White Blood Cell
Neutrophil Division, U-1146.
**[03:21] ---**
The invading germs
have been exterminated.
**[03:24] ---**
WHITE BLOOD CELLS
(NEUTROPHILS)
**[03:24] ---**
*White Blood Cell. (Neutrophil.)*
**[03:25] ---**
*His main task is to eliminate
foreign substances from outside,*
**[03:30] ---**
*such as bacteria and viruses.*
**[03:32] ---**
*Neutrophils comprise over half
of the White Blood Cells in the blood.*
**[03:36] ---**
LET'S BID THEM
A PLEASANT GOODBYE!
"BYE-BYE GERMS!"
**[03:36] ---**
Listen up! Don't let a single bacterium get away!
**[03:39] ---**
Because there'll be hell to pay
if even one escapes!
**[03:42] ---**
Whoa! It's the White Blood Cells!
**[03:44] ---**
Scary!
**[03:46] ---**
CELL
**[03:46] ---**
Seriously, talk about merciless!
He's splattered with blood!
**[03:49] ---**
Hey, any over there?
**[03:51] ---**
Negative.
**[03:52] ---**
*S-So they're the White Blood Cells?*
**[03:55] ---**
Hey, what are you looking at?
**[03:57] ---**
Can I help you?
**[03:58] ---**
Y-Yes! I mean, um...
**[04:00] ---**
Th-Thank you for saving me!
**[04:04] ---**
I was in such danger...
**[04:05] ---**
No need to thank me.
**[04:07] ---**
I was only doing my job.
**[04:10] ---**
No, I mean you're welcome.
**[04:13] ---**
Right!
**[04:15] ---**
Any more over there?
**[04:16] ---**
I'll kill them!
I swear I'm gonna kill them!
**[04:25] ---**
Dammit!
**[04:27] ---**
You wretched White Blood Cells!
Don't think it's over yet!
**[04:35] ---**
Boy, that was scary!
**[04:38] ---**
I'm gonna deliver this to the lungs fast!
**[04:39] ---**
THE RED BLOOD CELLS' JOB
**[04:41] ---**
Well, to get to the lungs,
I need to make a right here.
**[04:45] ---**
VENOUS VALVE
**[04:46] ---**
Hey, that entrance is one-way.
**[04:49] ---**
I-I'm sorry! I'm new here!
**[04:53] ---**
Lungs are that way.
**[04:57] ---**
Again?
**[04:58] ---**
Where?
**[04:59] ---**
Where?
**[05:00] ---**
Where?
**[05:01] ---**
This is it!
**[05:03] ---**
Oh, this is the spleen...
**[05:03] ---**
MACROPHAGE
**[05:06] ---**
SPLEEN
**[05:07] ---**
Are you lost perhaps?
**[05:08] ---**
Y-Yes! I'm sorry! I made a mistake!
**[05:12] ---**
Don't worry!
**[05:18] ---**
Hey, you! This is a lymph duct!
**[05:21] ---**
What do you think you're doing here?
**[05:22] ---**
No Red Blood Cells allowed! Moron!
**[05:24] ---**
Another blunder!
**[05:25] ---**
Please forgive me!
**[05:30] ---**
They're always doing construction
around here.
**[05:33] ---**
So these maps are hard to figure out!
**[05:35] ---**
I-Is that right?
**[05:37] ---**
*I don't think I'll ever get there...*
**[05:40] ---**
STORAGE #7
**[05:40] ---**
*Let's see... The lungs, the lungs...*
**[05:43] ---**
WASTE
**[05:48] ---**
*There's nobody here!*
**[05:52] ---**
I wonder if anyone's in here.
**[05:55] ---**
Excuse me?
There's something I'd like to ask you!
**[05:59] ---**
Um... Excuse me...
**[06:10] ---**
Don't act like nothing happened!
**[06:24] ---**
Target sighted!
**[06:25] ---**
I found you, you bastard!
**[06:27] ---**
Die!
**[06:29] ---**
You germ!
**[06:32] ---**
Sniffed me out already,
you damn White Blood Cell?
**[06:34] ---**
No way am I gonna let you capture me!
**[06:41] ---**
So long!
**[06:42] ---**
O-Oh no!
**[06:44] ---**
CAPSULE
**[06:44] ---**
Is this a bacterial capsule?
**[06:45] ---**
Dammit! I can't see the bacterium!
**[06:49] ---**
Please stop pulling!
**[06:54] ---**
Did he get away?
**[06:56] ---**
Um, thank you for earlier!
**[06:59] ---**
Oh, right. Sure.
**[07:02] ---**
You're that Red Blood Cell from before!
**[07:04] ---**
Yes! What was that bacterium?
**[07:06] ---**
The survivor of the group
that just invaded us! Damn!
**[07:11] ---**
This isn't looking good!
**[07:13] ---**
He's a Pneumococcus!
**[07:15] ---**
If I don't kill him right away,
he'll start dividing!
**[07:18] ---**
And if that happens, this world will...
**[07:20] ---**
Pn-Pneumococcus?
**[07:22] ---**
Yeah.
**[07:23] ---**
The Pneumococci are pathogenic bacteria
of the respiratory system
**[07:26] ---**
that trigger pneumonia
and other diseases,
**[07:28] ---**
not to mention highly toxic germs
that wield capsules!
**[07:31] ---**
No way! I'm actually on my way
to the lungs myself!
**[07:34] ---**
URINE
**[07:35] ---**
This is a kidney.
**[07:37] ---**
Oh, I'm lost!
**[07:40] ---**
It's not just the lungs that are at risk.
**[07:42] ---**
The germ fled into the blood vessels after all!
**[07:45] ---**
What do you...
I mean, we're not untangled at all yet!
**[07:49] ---**
Pneumonia's not the only disease
that's caused by the Pneumococci.
**[07:53] ---**
There's something
called "pneumococcal bacteremia."
**[07:56] ---**
The Pneumococci attack each organ
through the blood vessels,
**[08:00] ---**
seizing control of the meninges
enveloping the brain,
**[08:00] ---**
PNEUMOCOCCUS BACTEREMIA
**[08:03] ---**
ultimately destroying this world!
**[08:05] ---**
Those guys are super fast!
**[08:08] ---**
They've been known to invade
an entire body in a mere 24 hours.
**[08:12] ---**
Th-There's a disease like that?
**[08:14] ---**
Yeah. Since this body's immune system
has been compromised.
**[08:18] ---**
Normally, it can withstand
something like this, but...
**[08:21] ---**
This is U-1146.
**[08:23] ---**
Requesting backup
to pursue the invading germ.
**[08:25] ---**
*We're short-handed, too!
Try to get by on your own!*
**[08:32] ---**
What's this?
**[08:33] ---**
RECEPTOR
**[08:33] ---**
My receptor's responding!
**[08:36] ---**
He must still be nearby.
**[08:38] ---**
*Couldn't they have come up
with a better design?*
**[08:42] ---**
SALT
**[08:42] ---**
Hey, did you hear that guy say anything?
Like where he was headed?
**[08:47] ---**
Also, what was he doing there?
**[08:49] ---**
- A response!
- Um...
**[08:52] ---**
He was looking at a map!
**[08:53] ---**
He seemed to be looking
for the lungs!
**[08:56] ---**
So he was lost, too?
**[08:58] ---**
Yeah, probably.
**[09:00] ---**
All right.
**[09:02] ---**
The lungs, huh?
**[09:03] ---**
Gotcha.
**[09:05] ---**
*I've got to get there, too!*
**[09:06] ---**
*Even if I'm afraid of the Pneumococcus!*
**[09:08] ---**
*That's my job!*
**[09:14] ---**
Lungs are this way.
**[09:16] ---**
DENDRITIC CELLS
**[09:16] ---**
All right, follow me.
**[09:18] ---**
Since we're heading
toward the same destination.
**[09:20] ---**
I'm so sorry!
**[09:24] ---**
Let's get moving.
**[09:25] ---**
Remember the way there.
**[09:27] ---**
R-Right!
**[09:28] ---**
BLOOD VESSELS
**[09:28] ---**
This is an amazing area
we're passing through, huh?
**[09:31] ---**
Well, yes.
**[09:32] ---**
DENDRITE
**[09:35] ---**
- This way.
- Hello!
**[09:37] ---**
Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
**[09:40] ---**
It's the Platelets!
**[09:41] ---**
Oh my! They're so cute!
**[09:41] ---**
PLATELETS
**[09:43] ---**
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
**[09:44] ---**
They're called Platelets?
**[09:46] ---**
Right.
**[09:47] ---**
Hello!
**[09:48] ---**
Thanks for your hard work!
**[09:48] ---**
Hello!
**[09:50] ---**
Good work.
**[09:51] ---**
SAFETY FIRST
**[09:51] ---**
Excuse me!
**[09:52] ---**
Roadwork is delayed,
and we are deeply sorry.
THE PLATELETS TEAM
**[09:54] ---**
ROAD CLOSED
**[09:54] ---**
PLATELETS
**[09:55] ---**
We're still doing some construction up ahead!
**[09:57] ---**
The road's closed?
**[09:59] ---**
But we're in a hurry!
**[10:01] ---**
Did something happen?
**[10:02] ---**
We're so sorry!
**[10:04] ---**
You see, you see...
**[10:05] ---**
There was some trouble,
so construction's been delayed.
**[10:08] ---**
And so, you see,
the delivery people made a fatal mistake!
**[10:12] ---**
We can't unload the cargo.
**[10:14] ---**
It's too high! Can't reach!
Bring the ladder!
**[10:15] ---**
ABSENT
**[10:18] ---**
Heave-ho!
**[10:19] ---**
*- Th-That's adorable...
- Th-That's adorable...*
**[10:23] ---**
Then, we'll unload it for you.
**[10:25] ---**
Sorry to trouble you when you're busy!
**[10:26] ---**
Not at all!
**[10:29] ---**
Did you see that Pneumococcus?
**[10:31] ---**
The one who looked like this?
**[10:33] ---**
I don't know.
**[10:35] ---**
Thank you!
**[10:35] ---**
BLOOD CLOTS
**[10:37] ---**
Still, it doesn't make sense.
**[10:41] ---**
Well,
**[10:42] ---**
the fact that my receptor's been acting up...
**[10:46] ---**
You're right, it is!
Do you think maybe it's broken?
**[10:49] ---**
Well, it's pretty beat-up.
**[10:52] ---**
Oh well, whatever.
**[10:54] ---**
It's not like anything
particularly strange is going on.
**[10:58] ---**
*This is the Helper T Cell.*
**[10:58] ---**
HELPER T CELLS

COMMANDER NEWS
**[11:01] ---**
*We've been informed*
**[11:02] ---**
*that a Pneumococcus is on the run
within these very blood vessels!*
**[11:06] ---**
*We are mobilizing the Killer T Cells!*
**[11:08] ---**
*Since our most elite Lymphocyte force
is on its way,*
**[11:11] ---**
*you have nothing to worry about!*
**[11:12] ---**
*We are ready to put our pride on the line*
**[11:14] ---**
*to exterminate the enemy! No matter what!*
**[11:18] ---**
*Commander Helper T Cell?*
**[11:20] ---**
*You have cookie crumbs
all over your mouth.*
**[11:23] ---**
*You're right! Oh man...*
**[11:25] ---**
*Well, anyway, so there you have it!*
**[11:30] ---**
Is that them?
**[11:37] ---**
LYMPHATIC VESSEL
**[11:41] ---**
KILLER T CELLS
(CYTOTOXIC T CELLS)
**[11:41] ---**
In the name of the Killer T Cell Division,
**[11:44] ---**
finish the target within two seconds of sighting!
**[11:46] ---**
Any moron who lets him escape
will be sent to the spleen!
**[11:49] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[11:50] ---**
They're pretty pompous, aren't they?
**[11:52] ---**
They're actually related to us,
White Blood Cells.
**[11:53] ---**
LYMPHOCYTES
**[11:56] ---**
They're called Lymphocytes.
**[11:58] ---**
Oh, never mind.
**[11:59] ---**
Let's get moving.
**[12:00] ---**
You're right!
**[12:02] ---**
Hey!
**[12:03] ---**
What's that Red Blood Cell doing here?
**[12:06] ---**
She's the one
who saw the Pneumococcus.
**[12:09] ---**
Well, you look pretty nonchalant.
**[12:11] ---**
For someone about to get killed.
**[12:15] ---**
No, I wouldn't say nonchalant.
She probably just doesn't know.
**[12:18] ---**
Then here's your chance to learn something!
**[12:21] ---**
Pneumococci are alpha-hemolytic cells
that crave nutrients.
**[12:26] ---**
In other words,
**[12:27] ---**
you Red Blood Cells, who transport
nutrients, will become their target!
**[12:29] ---**
HEMOLYSIS
**[12:32] ---**
So better watch your back, all right?
**[12:34] ---**
They just want to scare you.
**[12:36] ---**
Don't pay any attention.
We're out of time, so let's get going.
**[12:41] ---**
WELCOME TO THE LUNGS
**[12:43] ---**
So these are the lungs?
**[12:43] ---**
LUNGS
**[12:45] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:46] ---**
I don't see anyone making a commotion.
**[12:49] ---**
You think maybe we overtook him?
**[12:51] ---**
The Pneumococcus?
**[12:53] ---**
All right, time to say goodbye.
**[12:55] ---**
Good job.
**[12:56] ---**
Oh, right! Thank you
for showing me the way!
**[13:00] ---**
Right. You be careful now.
**[13:02] ---**
DANGER!
RUNNING STRICTLY FORBIDDEN
**[13:02] ---**
Please take care!
**[13:04] ---**
Sure.
**[13:05] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[13:07] ---**
Sure.
**[13:08] ---**
Thank you so much
for your hard work!
**[13:10] ---**
Sure.
**[13:11] ---**
Watch where you're going.
**[13:14] ---**
*All right, what do I do now?*
**[13:17] ---**
*Now that I can't use my receptor...*
**[13:25] ---**
What's this?
**[13:29] ---**
DENDRITE
**[13:37] ---**
Smoke him out, no matter what!
**[13:39] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[13:40] ---**
Right.
**[13:41] ---**
We'll continue our pursuit
of the fleeing bacterium.
**[13:45] ---**
Where the hell did he go?
That damn Pneumococcus!
**[13:49] ---**
THIS IS THE LEFT LUNG
ALVEOLUS 50th-120th FLOOR
ELEVATOR RIGHT LUNG
**[13:50] ---**
Right Lung? Left Lung?
**[13:54] ---**
I'm getting on, too!
**[13:56] ---**
Let's see...
**[13:58] ---**
I'm supposed to pass through the capillaries
to get to an alveolus.
**[14:03] ---**
CAPILLARY 049
**[14:03] ---**
Huh?
**[14:04] ---**
Wait!
**[14:06] ---**
Over here, too?
**[14:07] ---**
CAPILLARY 062
**[14:08] ---**
There, too?
**[14:10] ---**
CAPILLARY 052
**[14:11] ---**
*Th-There are so many capillaries!*
**[14:14] ---**
Hey, you there!
**[14:16] ---**
S-Senpai!
**[14:18] ---**
What are you doing here?
**[14:20] ---**
Are you getting your job done?
**[14:23] ---**
Please help me!
**[14:26] ---**
Let me see.
**[14:27] ---**
All right, in these situations, look here.
**[14:30] ---**
See those numbers?
**[14:32] ---**
Yes!
**[14:32] ---**
You'll find the same numbers
on every door.
**[14:35] ---**
CAPILLARY 053
**[14:35] ---**
You're right! Sorry about that!
**[14:37] ---**
I see you're the same as ever.
**[14:39] ---**
Oh, well. You just need to learn step by step.
**[14:43] ---**
Right!
**[14:45] ---**
Good luck!
**[14:47] ---**
See ya!
**[14:48] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[14:51] ---**
95, 96...
**[14:53] ---**
Dear Red Blood Cells,
The capillary is cramped,
so please enter one at a time.
Be courteous!
**[14:53] ---**
CAPILLARY 095
**[14:53] ---**
CAPILLARIES
**[14:55] ---**
Here it is!
**[14:57] ---**
"Be courteous and only one at a time," huh?
**[15:00] ---**
ALVEOLI
**[15:01] ---**
ENTRANCE
**[15:03] ---**
Is this an alveolus?
**[15:05] ---**
*I wonder where that Pneumococcus went.*
**[15:08] ---**
*I just hope I don't run into him.*
**[15:22] ---**
Hey!
**[15:24] ---**
Thanks! For transporting me all this way!
**[15:28] ---**
He's here!
**[15:29] ---**
EXIT
**[15:29] ---**
You moron! You're not getting away!
**[15:33] ---**
Seriously, how stupid is that?
**[15:36] ---**
To not even realize
what it was you were delivering!
**[15:40] ---**
Now that I'm here in the alveolus,
**[15:43] ---**
it's the best place to lie in wait
for Red Blood Cells transporting nutrients!
**[15:48] ---**
For starters,
**[15:50] ---**
I think I'll take the edge off my appetite!
**[15:53] ---**
S-Somebody...
**[15:56] ---**
You sure are delivering a ton of nutrients!
**[15:58] ---**
Yes! Since I just stopped
by the small intestine.
**[16:01] ---**
Sorry! This one's occupied!
**[16:02] ---**
ALVEOLUS
OCCUPIED
**[16:04] ---**
You idiot!
**[16:07] ---**
You think you just protected your friends?
**[16:10] ---**
Talk about an exercise in futility!
**[16:12] ---**
And right before
you're about to be massacred no less!
**[16:15] ---**
Go ahead and call out for help, for all I care!
**[16:18] ---**
Not that anyone will be able
to come to rescue
**[16:21] ---**
if you block the way like that!
**[16:22] ---**
*He's going to kill me!*
**[16:25] ---**
*S-Somebody!*
**[16:30] ---**
I can see you haven't done
your homework.
**[16:33] ---**
We, White Blood Cells,
are transmigrating cells.
**[16:35] ---**
MIGRATION
**[16:36] ---**
Meaning we can slip through
blood vessel walls to reach our enemies!
**[16:40] ---**
White Blood Cell!
**[16:43] ---**
How did you know I was here?
**[16:45] ---**
The instant that Red Blood Cell left me,
**[16:48] ---**
my receptor stopped responding, you see!
**[16:52] ---**
I never would've thought
you'd be hiding inside the package!
**[16:57] ---**
No way am I gonna let myself be killed
after I've come this far!
**[17:04] ---**
White Blood Cell,
**[17:05] ---**
he says he's going to attack
any Red Blood Cell carrying nutrients!
**[17:08] ---**
Gotcha!
**[17:12] ---**
Hey, you'll do! I'm gonna obliterate you!
**[17:14] ---**
It's a germ!
**[17:27] ---**
White Blood Cell!
**[17:29] ---**
Stay back!
**[17:31] ---**
A capsule, huh?
**[17:32] ---**
A capsule? Like before?
**[17:34] ---**
It's not like the one
he used as a smokescreen!
**[17:37] ---**
It's a more powerful screen
he can use to directly shield himself!
**[17:40] ---**
I have no chance against something
that powerful in close combat!
**[17:43] ---**
White Blood Cell!
You shouldn't let him know that!
**[17:47] ---**
ENCAPSULATED CELLS
**[17:47] ---**
I see. Thanks for clueing me in.
**[17:50] ---**
Change of plans!
**[17:51] ---**
Before I launch my all-out invasion,
I'm gonna torture you guys to death!
**[18:01] ---**
Why did you tell him that, of all things?
**[18:04] ---**
My bad!
**[18:05] ---**
It's all over!
**[18:06] ---**
White Blood Cell,
forget about idiots like me and run!
**[18:10] ---**
Maybe I'll go for that.
**[18:12] ---**
BRONCHIAL TUBES
**[18:14] ---**
Run that way!
**[18:15] ---**
This way?
**[18:16] ---**
Go!
**[18:17] ---**
R-Right!
**[18:18] ---**
RESPIRATORY TRACT
MUCOSA
**[18:29] ---**
Scurrying around like that...
**[18:32] ---**
What's wrong, White Blood Cell?
**[18:36] ---**
Red Blood Cell, step back a little further.
**[18:39] ---**
O-Okay!
**[18:42] ---**
Do you surrender?
**[18:44] ---**
Are you outta moves?
**[18:46] ---**
What a letdown.
**[18:48] ---**
After you massacred all my buddies!
**[18:52] ---**
I'm gonna see to it
**[18:54] ---**
that you share the same fate!
**[18:56] ---**
Die!
**[19:12] ---**

Don't ask me.
**[19:21] ---**
Listen to me!
**[19:24] ---**
It's no use.
**[19:26] ---**
You can't destroy that capsule
from the inside, no matter what.
**[19:29] ---**
And this is inside the bronchial tubes.
**[19:31] ---**
Do you know what that means?
**[19:32] ---**
Wh-What the hell's up with that?
**[19:34] ---**
Aren't you ashamed, using tactics like this?
**[19:37] ---**
Not really.
**[19:38] ---**
Liar! Don't look away from me!
**[19:39] ---**
TEA
**[19:41] ---**
- Listen to me!
- Red Blood Cell?
**[19:43] ---**
I know you can hear me!
**[19:46] ---**
Damn you! Stop messing with me!
**[19:48] ---**
Can I get you
something to drink, too?
**[19:49] ---**
Hey! Don't ignore me!
**[19:50] ---**
Okay, I'll have
what you're having.
**[19:51] ---**
Here. Tea.
**[19:53] ---**
- Well, thank you very much.
- Hey, you! Say something!
**[19:58] ---**
What's going on?

**[21:08] ---**
Um, W-White Blood Cell!

**[21:23] ---**
No.
**[21:24] ---**
NEW MEMBERS TRAINING
**[21:25] ---**
I mean, there are
so many of us White Blood Cells.
**[21:25] ---**
NUMBER OF WHITE BLOOD CELLS

N-Now that you mention it,
**[21:30] ---**
there are even more of us Red Blood Cells!
**[21:31] ---**
NUMBER OF RED BLOOD CELLS
**[21:33] ---**
Yeah.
**[21:34] ---**
Well, since we both work in the same world,
**[21:38] ---**
we'll run into each other someday.
**[21:40] ---**
See you.
**[21:42] ---**
Right!
**[21:43] ---**
Incident! It's Bacteria! They're close!
**[21:45] ---**
Kill them! Annihilate them!

Huh?
**[00:38] ---**
Which way was it again?
**[00:39] ---**
CELL
**[00:41] ---**
What are you doing?
**[00:44] ---**
Senpai!
**[00:46] ---**
Why are you here?
**[00:47] ---**
Seriously! You're as directionally-challenged
as ever, aren't you?
**[00:51] ---**
Lost your way again?
**[00:52] ---**
Sorry.
**[00:54] ---**
Let me see.
**[00:55] ---**
Hey, I'm heading that way, too.
**[00:58] ---**
So wanna tag along with me partway?
**[01:00] ---**
Yes! I'm counting on you!

***SIGN*** PLATELETS:
A type of blood component.
They aggregate when the blood vessels
are damaged, and cover the wounds.
**[01:25] ---**
*Platelets. A type of blood component.*
**[01:29] ---**

Okay!

Big Brother Red Blood Cell!
**[02:21] ---**
- Let me ride on your shoulders!
- Put your hat on straight.
**[02:23] ---**
- Thanks!
- You know what? You see...
**[02:25] ---**
- You made it down, huh?
- Good job!
**[02:26] ---**
*These days,*

**[04:09] ---**
Heave-ho!
**[04:11] ---**
I dropped it!
**[04:13] ---**
Can someone pick it up?
**[04:17] ---**
This?
**[04:18] ---**
Big Sister Red Blood Cell!
**[04:22] ---**
Here you go!
**[04:24] ---**
Thank you!
**[04:25] ---**
You're welcome!
**[04:29] ---**
Everybody! Let's wash the fibrin here!
**[04:32] ---**
Okay!
**[04:34] ---**
Heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho, heave-ho!
**[04:39] ---**
Scrub, scrub! Scrub, scrub!
**[04:43] ---**
All right! Let's head off to work!
**[04:45] ---**
Right, Senpai!
**[04:47] ---**
No, no.
**[04:48] ---**
This way.
**[04:49] ---**
I-I'm so sorry.
**[04:51] ---**
Make sure you get
all these routes down pat
**[04:53] ---**
so you can stand on your own two feet.
**[04:55] ---**
Got that?
**[04:56] ---**
Right!
**[04:59] ---**
SKIN
400 μm
**[05:12] ---**
It's so peaceful, isn't it, Senpai?
**[05:15] ---**
I guess so.
**[05:17] ---**
But you know what, from this point on,
you need to stay alert.
**[05:21] ---**
Why is that?
**[05:22] ---**
Since this part of the blood vessel
is really close to the skin,
**[05:25] ---**
even the slightest trauma will have a huge—
**[05:33] ---**
Wh-What was that just now?
**[05:35] ---**
The skin's susceptible
to external stimulation.
**[05:38] ---**
Good thing there wasn't
much damage this time!
**[05:41] ---**
Damage?
**[05:42] ---**
For example...
**[05:48] ---**
What was that?
**[05:49] ---**
H-Hey! Look at that!
**[05:55] ---**
There's light over there!
**[06:16] ---**
What is that?
**[06:26] ---**
It's sucking me in!
***SIGN*** WHITE BLOOD CELLS:
Their main task is to eliminate
foreign substances from outside,
such as bacteria and viruses.
White blood cells can bind
to vascular endothelial cells
thanks to L-selectin, an adhesive molecule.
**[06:36] ---**
Hey. So we meet again.
**[06:38] ---**
Wh-White Blood Cell!
**[06:47] ---**
What's going on? What's all this?
**[06:50] ---**
Isn't it obvious?
**[06:59] ---**
Due to external trauma,
**[07:00] ---**
the blood vessel's outer wall
has been destroyed,
**[07:03] ---**
causing blood cells to get swept away.
**[07:06] ---**
Run!
**[07:08] ---**
In other words,
**[07:10] ---**
it's an abrasion!
**[07:11] ---**
Abrasion?
***SIGN*** ABRASION (GRAZE):
A wound formed when the skin is scraped.
Refers to wounds that are no deeper
than the epidermis.
**[07:13] ---**
*Abrasion.*
**[07:14] ---**
*A wound formed when the skin is scraped.*
**[07:17] ---**
*Refers to wounds that are no deeper
than the epidermis.*
**[07:21] ---**
If we fall from this wound, it'll be the end.
**[07:24] ---**
There'll be no getting back to this world.
**[07:27] ---**
If we fall, will it be the end?
**[07:30] ---**
But that means we're in big trouble!
We've got to do something quick!
**[07:34] ---**
Quiet!
**[07:36] ---**
This wound will be taken care of eventually.
**[07:38] ---**
It's just that there's a hassle
we have to deal with first.
**[07:41] ---**
What I mean is...
**[07:43] ---**
They're here!
**[07:45] ---**
Get down!
**[07:53] ---**
Damn germs!
**[07:57] ---**
So this is the inside of a human body, huh?
**[08:01] ---**
Just like the rumors,
it's an ideal place for us to spawn!
**[08:04] ---**
Not bad, wouldn't you say?
***SIGN*** STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS:
An antigen residing in the skin and pores.
It's highly toxic, and if it invades the body
through an abrasion, it can cause
skin infections, food poisoning,
pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis and the like.
**[08:06] ---**
*Staphylococcus aureus.*
**[08:07] ---**

the body through an abrasion,*
**[08:15] ---**
*it can cause skin infections, food poisoning,
pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis and the like.*
**[08:25] ---**
They didn't waste any time, did they?
**[08:28] ---**
Now wipe them out!
**[08:29] ---**
Roger!
**[08:34] ---**
You guys, make a run for it!
**[08:35] ---**
R-Right!
**[08:46] ---**
White Blood Cell!
**[08:47] ---**
You need to move over here to fight!
Or else you're going to get sucked in, too!
**[08:51] ---**
Don't worry about me!
**[08:52] ---**
Just get out of here!
**[08:56] ---**
Damn him! How dare he...
**[08:58] ---**
Let's drag this bastard out!
**[09:00] ---**
Hurry!
**[09:01] ---**
Come on, let's go!
**[09:07] ---**
BLOOD VESSEL UNDER CONSTRICTION
ROAD BLOCKED
**[09:07] ---**
What the... The blood vessel's constricting?
**[09:10] ---**
Seems like something happened over there!
**[09:12] [SONG] ---**
VASOCONSTRICTION:
When a blood vessel
is injured, it attempts
to slow down the
bleeding by constricting.

**[09:24] ---**
This is terrible!
**[09:25] ---**
A gigantic scrape
was just created down there,
**[09:28] ---**
and now the wound's teeming with bacteria!
**[09:30] ---**
What?
**[09:31] ---**
Run!
**[09:31] ---**
**[09:32] ---**
Did she say bacteria?
**[09:33] ---**
Hurry up!
**[09:38] ---**
Are you okay?
**[09:39] ---**
S-Sorry!
**[09:41] ---**
Hurry!
**[09:42] ---**
Right!
**[09:43] ---**
You guys need to get out of here now, too!
**[09:50] ---**
We just hijacked this world!
***SIGN*** STREPTOCOCCUS PYOGENES:
Resides in the throat, digestive organs,
skin and the like. Though it's quite
a common persistent bacteria,
it can often lead to a variety of ailments.
**[09:54] ---**
*Streptococcus pyogenes.*
**[09:55] ---**

**[10:05] ---**
All you Red Blood Cells
delivering nutrients, line up over there!
***SIGN*** PSEUDOMONAS:
One of the most common types
of persistent bacteria
existing in natural environments.
Can cause pseudomonas infections.
**[10:09] ---**
*Pseudomonas.*
**[10:10] ---**
*One of the most common types of persistent
bacteria existing in natural environments.*
**[10:15] ---**
*Can cause pseudomonas infections.*
**[10:18] ---**
If you're not delivering, I'll kill you!
**[10:21] ---**
Run!
**[10:23] ---**
Oh no! There's a valve!
**[10:24] ---**
Open up! Somebody!
***SIGN*** VENOUS VALVE:
Prevents blood from backing up.
Keeps the blood flowing one-way
through the vessels.
**[10:27] ---**
*The venous valve.*
**[10:29] ---**
*Prevents blood from backing up.*
**[10:31] ---**

**[10:36] ---**
H-H-H-H-Help us!
**[10:40] ---**
Die!
**[10:46] ---**
We're all gonna die!
**[10:51] ---**
Didn't I tell you?
**[10:52] ---**
Anyone who's not delivering nutrients...
**[10:55] ---**
will die!
**[11:04] ---**
I-It's the White Blood Cells!
**[11:07] ---**
Where the hell are the germs?
**[11:09] ---**
They're so dead!
**[11:10] ---**
Hey, where's the thing called "abrasion"?
**[11:13] ---**
I-It's that way!
**[11:14] ---**
Is that right? Thanks!
**[11:16] ---**
See ya!
**[11:21] ---**
So the White Blood Cells came!
**[11:23] ---**
Does this mean we're safe now?
**[11:25] ---**
Nah, I wouldn't say
we're out of the woods just yet!
**[11:27] ---**
Remember how many of them
came swarming in?
**[11:29] ---**
Oh well, guess they've got
their work cut out for them.
**[11:31] ---**
But really, those White Blood Cells
are all a bunch of freaks, don't you think?
**[11:35] ---**
Go! Go!
**[11:37] ---**
Kill 'em! Kill 'em!
**[11:40] ---**
Take that!
**[11:50] ---**
Immobilize them!
**[11:51] ---**
Roger that!
**[11:55] ---**
All right, now this White Blood Cell's toast!
**[11:58] ---**
You guys go after the other White Blood Cells!
**[12:01] ---**
- Roger!
- Roger!
**[12:04] ---**
Now that you're surrounded
by blade-like thorns, you can't move!
**[12:08] ---**
Die!
**[12:11] ---**
No way!
**[12:18] ---**
*That's odd.*
**[12:19] ---**
*They could've escaped
by heading even deeper into this body*
**[12:22] ---**
*instead of fighting me here.*
**[12:25] ---**
*No. 1146, do you read me?*
**[12:28] ---**
Yeah. What's up?
**[12:30] ---**
*No. 2048 is in a dire situation near you!*
**[12:33] ---**
*Head over there right away!*
**[12:35] ---**
We'll join you
once we take care of these germs!
**[12:38] ---**
Something's off!
**[12:45] ---**
The germs will be making
a desperate charge this way!
**[12:47] ---**
*You watch your back, too!*
**[12:49] ---**
Roger that!
**[12:52] ---**
Dammit! Ouch, ouch!
**[12:56] ---**
*What the hell are they planning to do?*
**[13:01] ---**
Cells at Work!
**[13:08] ---**
Cells at Work!
**[13:19] ---**
Stay away!
**[13:22] ---**
There's no end to them!
**[13:29] ---**
Get out of here now!
**[13:31] ---**
My bad! You saved me!
**[13:35] ---**
No, it's all good. More importantly...
**[13:38] ---**
Well, well, not bad!
**[13:40] ---**
But I wonder
how long you can hold out.
**[13:42] ---**
There are tons more of us on their way in!
**[13:50] ---**
Your backup is here!
**[13:52] ---**
I owe you—
**[13:54] ---**
Dammit, the draft...
**[13:57] ---**
No. 4989!
**[13:59] ---**
N-No way! No. 4989!
**[14:02] ---**
Keep your L-selectin on!
***SIGN*** L-SELECTIN:
A type of glycoprotein involved
in binding white blood cells
and vascular endothelial cells.
**[14:08] ---**
Oh crap! Behind us!
**[14:09] ---**
Your friends are rather flaky,
aren't they now?
**[14:17] ---**
How I pity you.
**[14:19] ---**
Aren't you getting a little tired?
**[14:24] ---**
Quite pathetic, you Neutrophils.
**[14:27] ---**
All the battling you do to protect
other cells day after day...
**[14:31] ---**
But when you find yourselves in trouble,
**[14:34] ---**
not one of them comes to your rescue.
**[14:38] ---**
Did you just call us Neutrophils,
not White Blood Cells?
**[14:42] ---**
I see you've at least
done some homework.
**[14:44] ---**
Oh my, of course I have.
**[14:46] ---**
After all, I heard the rumors
about a certain Pneumococcus perishing
**[14:50] ---**
because he didn't case the joint
before he invaded!
**[14:52] ---**
Wasn't that your kid brother?
**[14:55] ---**
Oh, I've done all the research I need.
**[14:57] ---**
All about you
members of the immune system.
**[15:00] ---**
Right down to the fact that you scrubs,
known as the Neutrophils,
**[15:04] ---**
are the first responders
to a bacterial invasion through an abrasion.
**[15:07] ---**
As well as the fact that the big guns,
the Macrophages and Monocytes,
**[15:10] ---**
are always late to the party.
**[15:12] ---**
Not to mention that the brigade known
as Lymphocytes
**[15:14] ---**
never show up until even later.
**[15:18] ---**
Do you understand?
**[15:20] ---**
In other words,
**[15:21] ---**
as long as I take you
Neutrophils out here,
**[15:24] ---**
I will
**[15:26] ---**
have the upper hand!
**[15:45] ---**
Here's the deathblow!
**[15:49] ---**
Wha... You blocked it?
How do you even have the energy?
**[15:55] ---**
Oh, I get it now. What a lame strategy.
**[15:58] ---**
Wh-What did you say?
**[16:01] ---**
Looks like you forgot the blood cell
you need to be careful of!
**[16:05] ---**
Not a Macrophage or a Monocyte
or a Killer T Cell or a B Cell.
**[16:10] ---**
Those powerful helpers of ours...
**[16:13] ---**
Professionals who can
turn the tide just like that...
**[16:16] ---**
They're that powerful!
**[16:20] ---**
Wh-Who are you talking about?
**[16:22] ---**
Thank you for your hard work!
**[16:30] ---**
Remember to stay together
so no one loses their way!
**[16:33] ---**
Right!
**[16:34] ---**
No fighting with other kids!
**[16:36] ---**
Right!
**[16:37] ---**
Remember to use your GP1b
so you won't get blasted away!
***SIGN*** GP1b:
When there's damage
to the blood vessel,
platelets bind through
the von Willebrand Factor,
and adhere to the
vascular endothelial cell.
**[16:41] ---**
Right!
**[16:43] ---**
Um...
***SIGN*** COAGULATION FACTOR:
A substance necessary
to coagulate the blood.
**[16:45] ---**
Did you all bring
your coagulation factors?
**[16:47] ---**
Yes, we did!
**[16:49] ---**
All right!
**[16:51] ---**
Then,
**[16:52] ---**
let's go!
**[16:54] ---**
Right!
**[16:55] ---**
Who are these little squirts?
**[16:59] ---**
Back up those Platelets!
**[17:03] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[17:09] ---**
What do you think you're doing?
**[17:13] ---**
Make sure you don't fall!
**[17:15] ---**
No problem!
**[17:18] ---**
We brought you the fibrin!
***SIGN*** FIBRIN:
A protein involved in clotting the blood.
**[17:20] ---**
Right! Now then, please take out
your coagulation factors!
**[17:24] ---**
Right!
**[17:25] ---**
Attach the fibrin
to the coagulation factors like this.
**[17:29] ---**
Right!
**[17:31] ---**
Finished!
**[17:32] ---**
This part, too!
**[17:34] ---**
All right, then. Here we go!
**[17:40] ---**
Heave-ho!
**[17:42] ---**
Miss Staphylococcus, look...
**[17:47] ---**
Clot completed!
**[17:50] ---**
Ugh!
**[17:53] ---**
*Blood clotting.*
***SIGN*** BLOOD CLOTTING:
Platelets, activated by a binding protein
called the "von Willebrand Factor,"
aggregate to close a wound.
Afterwards, proteins in the blood
called "coagulation factors" are activated,
ultimately forming a fibrin mesh
over the entire platelet plug, and clotting.
**[17:54] ---**
*Platelets, activated by a binding protein*
**[17:56] ---**
*called the "von Willebrand Factor,"

**[18:05] ---**
*Afterwards, proteins in the blood
called "coagulation factors" are activated,*
**[18:10] ---**
*ultimately forming a fibrin mesh
over the entire platelet plug, and clotting.*
**[18:18] ---**
Now we can finally get rid of them!
**[18:20] ---**
Yeah.
**[18:22] ---**
The wound's been plugged?
**[18:24] ---**
But now we can't summon any more friends!
**[18:26] ---**
All right, now that there's no risk
of falling, we've got this!
**[18:31] ---**
I'll kill you, germ!
**[18:40] ---**
Turns out you were the one
with the flaky friends.
**[18:44] ---**
And you're the only one left now.
**[18:48] ---**
Th-Then,
**[18:49] ---**
I alone will have to...
**[18:56] ---**
Too late for that now!
**[19:05] ---**
Thank you for your hard work!
**[19:11] ---**
Hey, No. 4989, you survived!
**[19:14] ---**
Yeah. That was scary.
**[19:17] ---**
Hey, White Blood Cell!
**[19:20] ---**
White Blood Cell!
**[19:23] ---**
Big Sister, over there!
**[19:25] ---**
There you are! White Blood Cell!
**[19:31] ---**
Red Blood Cell.
**[19:33] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[19:34] ---**
I see you made it!
**[19:36] ---**
Yeah, this is nothing but a scratch.
**[19:39] ---**
Fitting for an abrasion.
**[19:42] ---**
N-Never mind that!
What about the others?
**[19:46] ---**
Are they all okay?
**[19:47] ---**
Oh yes! They said
they'd all be coming over later,
**[19:51] ---**
but I asked to come see you first.
**[19:55] ---**
Is that right?
**[19:59] ---**
U-Um...
**[20:02] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[20:05] ---**
Seriously!
**[20:07] ---**
No, there's no need to thank me.
**[20:10] ---**
We just did our jobs. That's all.
**[20:13] ---**
Oh no! No, no!
**[20:15] ---**
I came because I just had to thank you!
**[20:19] ---**
All you White Blood Cells
fought those antigens for us,
**[20:23] ---**
and the Platelets closed up the wound.
**[20:27] ---**
You protected the peace
in this blood vessel,
**[20:31] ---**
but we Red Blood Cells were useless.
All we did was run away!
**[20:35] ---**
So I wanted to at least thank you properly.
**[20:39] ---**
Not that there's anything
I can do but say thank you.
**[20:46] ---**
No, that's not really true.
**[20:49] ---**
Red Blood Cell,
you've been really helpful today.
**[20:54] ---**
In the present continuous tense, that is.
**[20:59] ---**
U-Um, actually, White Blood Cell,
**[21:01] ---**
for some reason, you haven't moved
a muscle since I got here.
**[21:07] ---**
Oh, wait! Am I stuck?
**[21:10] ---**
I can't move!
**[21:11] ---**
Right.
**[21:15] ---**
My senpais are being led away
by the little Platelets!
**[21:21] ---**
See, whenever a hole opens up
in a blood vessel,
**[21:23] ---**
what happens is that
until the outer wall cells are restored,
**[21:25] ---**
- Tea please!
- It's hot!
**[21:26] ---**
the bodies of blood cells like us
are used to plug that hole.
**[21:28] ---**
My back hurts!
**[21:32] ---**
This is called "secondary hemostasis."
**[21:34] ---**
Well, never mind that for now!
**[21:37] ---**
White Blood Cell, how long
do we have to stay like this?
**[21:40] ---**
Another three days, I guess.
**[21:43] ---**
Hot!
**[21:45] ---**
Water please!
**[21:46] ---**
Or tea!
**[21:49] ---**
When this clot dries, it will become a scab!

Somebody help me!
**[02:02] ---**
Target sighted!
**[02:12] ---**
Hey, are you okay?
***SIGN*** WHITE BLOOD CELLS (NEUTROPHILS):
Their main task is to eliminate
foreign substances from outside,
such as bacteria and viruses.
Neutrophils comprise over half
of the White Blood Cells in the blood.
**[02:18] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[02:20] ---**
Uh, hey. You're welcome.
**[02:23] ---**
By the way, what were you doing
in a place like this?
**[02:28] ---**
Where are you from?
**[02:30] ---**
M-My name is Naive T Cell.
**[02:33] ---**
I'm an underling with the T Cell battalion,
**[02:36] ---**
a-and I'm on patrol.
**[02:38] ---**
But there are tons of zombies here.
**[02:41] ---**
What kind of place is this exactly?
***SIGN*** NAIVE T CELL:
An immature T Cell
which has never
encountered an antigen.
**[02:44] ---**
*Naive T Cell.*
**[02:46] ---**
*An immature T Cell
which has never encountered an antigen.*
**[02:51] ---**
I mean, how'd you come through the wall?
**[02:54] ---**
It's called "migration."
***SIGN*** MIGRATION
To move freely through the system.
**[02:57] ---**
These guys are just former common cells.
**[03:01] ---**
The thing is,
**[03:02] ---**
it seems like they got infected.
**[04:42] ---**
EPISODE 3:
INFLUENZA
**[04:45] ---**
*Influenza.*
**[04:48] ---**
They've been infected by a virus.
**[04:51] ---**
A virus?
**[04:52] ---**
Right.
**[04:53] ---**
An influenza virus.
***SIGN*** INFLUENZA VIRUS:
A virus that can trigger influenza,
an infectious disease.
Falls into three main categories,
A, B and C. Causes symptoms
such as fevers over 100 degrees,
headaches, joint pain and muscle cramping.
**[04:56] ---**
*The influenza virus.*
**[04:58] ---**
*A virus that can trigger influenza,
an infectious disease.*
**[05:02] ---**
*Falls into three main categories, A, B and C.*
**[05:05] ---**
*Causes symptoms
such as fevers over 100 degrees,*
**[05:08] ---**
*headaches, joint pain and muscle cramping.*
***SIGN*** When an influenza strain
that never infected humans
mutates to the point
that it does infect them,
it is called a "new influenza strain."
**[05:13] ---**
See, they bind to the bodies of cells
and then multiply.
**[05:17] ---**
Our only hope is to kill them
before their numbers swell any further!
**[05:20] ---**
You're my backup!
**[05:23] ---**
Huh?
**[05:24] ---**
Hey!
**[05:26] ---**
No way can I do that!
I can't take on a virus!
**[05:29] ---**
H-Hey! Listen, you!
**[05:31] ---**
You're a T Cell soldier, aren't you?
**[05:33] ---**
I'll stay put right here so that I can
at least avoid getting in your way!
**[05:38] ---**
Give a guy a hand, will you?
**[05:40] ---**
Look, they're starting to gather
because we're here!
**[05:42] ---**
Can't do it! Too scary!
**[05:47] ---**
My, my...
***SIGN*** MACROPHAGE
A type of White Blood Cell.
Captures and kills foreign
substances such as bacteria,
and finds antigens
and immunity information.
Also acts as a cleaner,
tidying up dead cells and bacteria.
**[05:51] ---**
Is everything all right here?
**[05:53] ---**
I can see that the virus people
have multiplied significantly.
**[05:58] ---**
A hatchet?
**[05:59] ---**
Now then, time to get to work!
**[06:06] ---**
W-Watch out!
***SIGN*** MACROPHAGE'S DEADLY FORCE:
Significantly potent.
**[06:23] ---**
Rest assured.
**[06:26] ---**
Right.
**[06:28] ---**
Let's see, this is...
**[06:31] ---**
A Type B virus.
**[06:34] ---**
This is Macrophage.
**[06:36] ---**
It appears that a Type B influenza virus
has invaded this body.
**[06:40] ---**
*Right!*
**[06:41] ---**
Understood! Please give it your all!
**[06:44] ---**
Right! Goodbye!
**[06:46] ---**
Helper T Commander,
**[06:48] ---**
that was Macrophage
presenting antigen information.
**[06:51] ---**
Very well.
**[06:59] ---**
*We've just received word
that a Type B virus has invaded this body.*
**[07:01] ---**
Yes, yes. Yes, that's correct.
**[07:03] ---**
The Killer T Cells will start
aggregating immediately!
**[07:07] ---**
I've notified each organ
through Dendritic Cell,
**[07:11] ---**
so the Killer T Cells
will soon be here to assist you.
**[07:14] ---**
Hey, that's great news.
**[07:16] ---**
The Killer T Cells?
**[07:18] ---**
U-Um, White Blood Cell, Macrophage,
**[07:22] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[07:24] ---**
Could you please tell them
**[07:25] ---**
I brought down
just one of these zombies?
**[07:29] ---**
Why do you want us to do that?
**[07:31] ---**
B-Because if you don't, I...
**[07:34] ---**
The senpais will...
**[07:39] ---**
Okay, dammit, is this the place?
Where are those viruses at?
***SIGN*** KILLER T CELLS
(CYTOTOXIC T CELLS):
Mobilize under orders
from the Helper T Cells.
They kill virus-infected cells,
cancer cells and the like.
**[07:43] ---**
The Killer T Cells are here to wipe 'em all out!
**[07:47] ---**
Macrophage, thank you for your hard work!
**[07:49] ---**
Thank you for your hard work!
**[07:51] ---**
And thank you, as well!
**[07:54] ---**
Hey, so you're here, too.
**[07:56] ---**
Yeah.
**[08:01] ---**
Hey, Naive!
**[08:03] ---**
You let someone else
do your work for you again, huh?
**[08:06] ---**
When are you gonna learn
to pull your own weight?
**[08:09] ---**
And you call yourself a T Cell like us?
**[08:12] ---**
S-S-S-S-S-Sorry! I'm so sorry!
**[08:15] ---**
I see. So the senpais
like to bust his chops, huh?
**[08:18] ---**
Yoo-hoo! We're here as backup.
**[08:21] ---**
Hey, there's still
a whole horde of them over there!
**[08:24] ---**
Let's see you slaughter at least one of them
this time, ya hear me, you little punk?
**[08:27] ---**
Got that?
**[08:29] ---**
C'mon, dammit!
**[08:31] ---**
Could you give me a yank?
**[08:32] ---**
Sure.
**[08:36] ---**
Obliterate every last one of them!
**[08:40] ---**
MEMORIES
Memories of viruses
**[08:41] ---**
Listen up!
Don't let your guard down, any of you!
***SIGN*** MEMORY T CELL:
Part of the Killer T Cells.
Equipped to attack again
when an enemy reappears
for the second time.
**[08:44] ---**
According to my memory
of encountering those guys,
**[08:48] ---**
compared to bacteria, the influenza virus's
proliferation speed is on a different level!
**[08:53] ---**
Right, Memory T Cell!
**[08:55] ---**
Memory...
**[08:57] ---**
Kill 'em all!
**[08:58] ---**
Don't allow any more common cell casualties!
**[09:01] ---**
Eradicate those viruses once and for all!
**[09:10] ---**
Hey! You join in, too!
**[09:11] ---**
Right!
**[09:13] ---**
Give it your best shot!
**[09:15] ---**
Th-That's right.
**[09:17] ---**
I've got to give it my all, too!
**[09:21] ---**
After all,
**[09:22] ---**
I'm a T Cell, too just like the senpais!
**[09:26] ---**
Naive!
**[09:32] ---**
Are you okay, Nai—
**[09:33] ---**
Hey, you!
**[09:34] ---**
What are you doing, spacing out like that?
**[09:43] ---**
He made a run for it.
**[09:44] ---**
Hey, Naive!
**[09:45] ---**
Oh my...
**[09:48] ---**
Just forget about him!
**[09:50] ---**
For now, let's deal with the virus!
**[09:51] ---**
Right!
**[09:56] ---**
Did something happen?
**[09:57] ---**
Run!
**[09:58] ---**
U-Um, excuse me!
**[09:59] ---**
Is something going on?
**[10:01] ---**
There's been a report
about a viral infection up there!
**[10:05] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[10:06] ---**
Senpai, what should we do?
**[10:09] ---**
That's a good question.
**[10:22] ---**
I'm...
**[10:24] ---**
What's the matter?
**[10:26] ---**
Hey, you're a T Cell, right?
**[10:29] ---**
Did something happen?
***SIGN*** DENDRITIC CELLS
Their role is to present bacteria
that have invaded the body,
and fragments of viral infection cells
as antigens, and to notify
other immune system cells.
As their name implies, they feature protrusions.

**[10:43] ---**
Wait, are you struggling in battle?
**[10:46] ---**
All right. I'm going to make a call right now.
**[10:55] ---**
Th-That's not it!
**[10:57] ---**
I ran away from the battle!
**[10:59] ---**
No way can I fight
those scum that terrifying!
**[11:02] ---**
I'm... I'm...
**[11:06] ---**
I'm just not powerful like White Blood Cell,
Macrophage or my senpais!
**[11:13] ---**
It's better not to have
a weakling like me around!
**[11:26] ---**
That's not true, Naive T Cell.
**[11:31] ---**
Chin up, all right?
**[11:33] ---**
You're not the only one.
**[11:36] ---**
Nobody starts out powerful, you know.

**[12:07] ---**
Keep up the good work...
Failure leads to...
Get well soon!
**[12:11] ---**
That's right.
**[12:12] ---**
Long ago, your senpais were just like you.

They were all Naive T Cells, too.
**[12:22] ---**
They're crying. Just like me!
**[12:27] ---**
There are tons more where that came from.
**[12:29] ---**
Here!
**[12:30] ---**
I'm getting goosebumps for some reason!
**[12:33] ---**
Hey, what's wrong?
Did you get infected by the virus?
**[12:35] ---**
Like that would ever happen.
**[12:37] ---**
It feels like the dark past
that we sealed away has been released!
**[12:40] ---**
Those kinds of chills!
**[12:43] ---**
The reason your senpais give you
such a hard time
**[12:46] ---**
might be because they see
their past selves in you, don't you think?
**[12:52] ---**
*Hey, Naive!*
**[12:54] ---**
*When are you gonna learn
to pull your own weight?*
**[12:57] ---**
*Let's see you slaughter at least one of them
this time, ya hear me, you little punk? Got that?*
**[13:01] ---**
*C'mon, dammit! This way!*
**[13:02] ---**
*Hey! You join in, too!*
**[13:07] ---**
I had no idea.
**[13:09] ---**
Don't worry.
**[13:11] ---**
There's no reason to be afraid, Naive.
**[13:14] ---**
We're all here for you.
**[13:17] ---**
All here for me!
**[13:20] ---**
White Blood Cell goes on patrol
to spot the enemy.
**[13:23] ---**
Macrophage relays information
on the enemy.
**[13:27] ---**
Because of that, Helper T Commander
is able to issue commands,
**[13:32] ---**
and the Killer T Cells
can then bring the enemy down.
**[13:36] ---**
See? You have all these friends working
with you, taking pride in their work!
**[13:43] ---**
So you know what it is
you have to do, don't you?
**[13:52] ---**
I...
**[13:55] ---**
My job is...
**[14:04] ---**
*Well, encouraging the T Cells
and activating them in this way...*
***SIGN*** DENDRITIC CELL'S ABILITY:
Can activate Naive T Cells.
**[14:07] ---**

INTERNAL BODY TEMPERATURE
NOW RISING
**[15:28] ---**
They're infected!
**[15:29] ---**
Don't come this way!
**[15:31] ---**
Let's get out of here!
**[15:45] ---**
Dammit, can't make a dent in them!
**[15:52] ---**
There's just no end to these guys!
**[16:14] ---**
Everybody...
**[16:16] ---**
I apologize for behaving
in such an unsightly manner earlier.
**[16:24] ---**
But I've overcome
my past self's weakness and returned,
**[16:28] ---**
newly activated!
**[16:31] ---**
I am the former Naive T Cell!
***SIGN*** EFFECTOR T CELL:

He's been activated!
**[16:42] ---**
I've also proliferated!
**[16:46] ---**
There's more of him!
**[16:47] ---**
Hey! So he finally did it! Freakin' Naive!
**[16:51] ---**
This gives us
Herculean strength, huh? Literally!
**[16:54] ---**
No. Isn't this scary?
**[16:56] ---**
Hey, I'm here, too!
**[17:00] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
I'm B Cell! And I've made some antibodies!
***SIGN*** B CELL (ANTIBODY-PRODUCING CELL):

We've got nothing to fear
now that we have this!
**[17:17] ---**
We can round 'em all up just like that!
**[17:19] ---**
All right! Let's go!
**[17:20] ---**
Yeah!
**[17:21] ---**
Wait! Uh...
**[17:23] ---**
C'mon! We're gonna singlehandedly
wipe out all those viruses!
**[17:27] ---**
Yeah!
**[17:28] ---**
All right!
**[17:35] ---**
Take that!
**[17:42] ---**
Take that! Take that! Take that!
Take that! Take that! Take that!
**[17:45] ---**
Take that!
**[17:50] ---**

INTERNAL BODY TEMPERATURE
NOW RISING
**[18:34] ---**
All right, we're good.
**[18:36] ---**
We're sufficiently hydrated.

IN ACTION NOW
**[18:46] ---**
*Thanks to the teamwork
between each organ,*
**[18:48] ---**
*and everyone joining forces...*
**[18:50] ---**
Take that!
**[18:54] ---**
*...a week later, the influenza virus...*
**[19:04] ---**
*...had vanished from this body.*
**[19:18] ---**
You did it!
**[19:20] ---**
Now you're a full-fledged T Cell!
**[19:23] ---**
Senpai...
**[19:27] ---**
Huh! The latter half
was mostly thanks to me!
**[19:31] ---**
My antibodies...
**[19:32] ---**
Well, yeah.
**[19:35] ---**
No one's more powerful than us Killer T Cells!
**[19:37] ---**
No cell or virus stands a chance against us!
**[19:48] ---**
We did it!
**[19:49] ---**
Thank you for your hard work.
**[19:50] ---**
Right.
**[19:52] ---**
Hey, check that out!
**[19:54] ---**
Over there!
**[19:57] ---**
It's a virus!
**[19:59] ---**
Hey, looks like a new one just snuck in!
**[20:04] ---**
What a fool.
**[20:05] ---**
After tens of thousands
of his friends just got eradicated...
**[20:09] ---**
I'll just annihilate him with one blow,
so he won't suffer at least!
**[20:13] ---**
Wow, he's Mr. Aggressive now.
**[20:34] ---**
Take that!
**[20:37] ---**
H-Huh?
**[20:38] ---**
The antibodies aren't working!
**[20:41] ---**
Which means that...
**[20:42] ---**
No way.
**[20:44] ---**
Could this be
**[20:47] ---**
Type A Influenza?
***SIGN*** TYPE A INFLUENZA:
Type A features
numerous internal mutations,
and is prone to triggering
epidemics on a global scale.
**[20:49] ---**
*Type A Influenza.*
**[20:51] ---**

**[21:05] ---**
My, my!
**[21:08] ---**
Dendritic Cell, this is Macrophage.
**[21:11] ---**
It seems that we've been invaded
by a Type A Influenza virus this time.
**[21:19] ---**
All right, then, I'm gonna go
whip up some new antibodies!
**[21:22] ---**
I'm leaving the rest to you T Cells!
**[21:24] ---**
H-Hold up!
We don't have the strength, either!
**[21:38] ---**
Right, right. Understood.
**[21:42] ---**
Hello? Dendritic Cell speaking.
**[21:45] ---**
Requesting reinforcements!
**[21:47] ---**

EPISODE 4:
FOOD POISONING
**[01:32] ---**
*"Food Poisoning."*
**[01:43] ---**
*Inside the human body,*
**[01:45] ---**
*roughly 37.2 trillion cells

**[01:55] ---**
PLATELETS
**[02:04] ---**
*This is the inside of a human body.*
**[02:10] ---**
What is this?
***SIGN*** WHITE BLOOD CELLS (NEUTROPHILS):
Their main task is to eliminate
foreign substances from outside,
such as bacteria and viruses.
**[02:12] ---**
It's gastric juice.
**[02:13] ---**
It's dissolving the lumps of nutrients.
***SIGN*** RED BLOOD CELLS:
They carry oxygen
and carbon dioxide
using blood circulation.
**[02:17] ---**
That's amazing!
***SIGN*** STOMACH:
Stores food that's been swallowed,
sterilizing it with the gastric acid
that it secretes from its walls.
In addition, it turns the food into mush
thanks to pepsin, a digestive enzyme,
carrying out the first step of digestion.
**[02:19] ---**
*The stomach.*
**[02:20] ---**
*Stores food that's been swallowed,*
**[02:22] ---**
*sterilizing it with the gastric acid

*In addition, it turns the food into mush
thanks to pepsin, a digestive enzyme,*
**[02:32] ---**
*carrying out the first step of digestion.*
**[02:37] ---**
So this is how food gets digested, huh?
**[02:41] ---**
Yeah.
**[02:42] ---**
See, since I've been using
all my energy to learn my routes,
**[02:45] ---**
I've never really gotten a good look
at how this all works!
**[02:48] ---**
So this is the first time
I've seen it all getting dissolved like this!
***SIGN*** RECEPTOR
A radar-like device
that can detect bacteria and the like.
**[02:55] ---**
My receptor!
**[02:56] ---**
Sorry! Red Blood Cell,
let's pick up this conversation later!
**[02:59] ---**
No, no, it's not that crucial anyway.
**[03:04] ---**
Run!
**[03:05] ---**
VISITORS' AREA
**[03:05] ---**
Wh-What's going on?
**[03:17] ---**
What a pushover you are!
What's the matter? Is that all you got?
**[03:22] ---**
All right, if you don't want to die,
just hand over those nutrients!
**[03:30] ---**
Shut up, you damn germ!
**[03:32] ---**
I won't let you lay a finger on these
blood cells or nutrients, got that?
**[03:37] ---**
Take that!
**[03:43] ---**
What kind of an attack is that?
**[03:46] ---**
If I'd run into Macrophage,
I would've been a goner.
**[03:49] ---**
Who knew you'd be such a weakling?
**[03:52] ---**
I'm really lucky!
**[04:02] ---**
What's going on?
**[04:06] ---**
D-Dammit.
**[04:08] ---**
CELL
**[04:08] ---**
We're gonna die!
**[04:13] ---**
Die!
**[04:31] ---**
That was close!
**[04:34] ---**
Extermination complete.
**[04:36] ---**
U-Um...
**[04:38] ---**
Are you okay?
**[04:40] ---**
Can you stand up?
**[04:44] ---**
I'm fine.
**[04:47] ---**
I can get up myself.
**[04:49] ---**
You saved me.
**[04:51] ---**
I owe you one, Neutrophil.
***SIGN*** EOSINOPHIL:
A type of White Blood Cell. Said to comprise
only a small percent of all White Blood Cells.

**[05:09] ---**
Hey, Eosinophil. Long time no see.
**[05:12] ---**
You two know each other?
**[05:14] ---**
Yeah, we're two White Blood Cells
who grew up inside the same bone marrow.
**[05:18] ---**
Hello.
**[05:20] ---**
Oh, nice to meet you!
**[05:22] ---**
White Blood Cell, do you need a tissue?
**[05:25] ---**
Yeah. Thanks.
**[05:26] ---**
Hey...
**[05:27] ---**
Right.
**[05:29] ---**
That girl with the pigtails...
Is she really a White Blood Cell?
**[05:32] ---**
But she lost to a germ!
**[05:35] ---**
So weak.
**[05:36] ---**
Are there really White Blood Cells like her?
**[05:39] ---**
Never heard of her.
**[05:41] ---**
What the heck?
But she's got this giant weapon.
**[05:44] ---**
Can't she take out a mere cell
for heaven's sake?
**[05:51] ---**
Let's go.
**[05:53] ---**
Let me remind you.
**[05:55] ---**
Exterminating bacteria
isn't a White Blood Cell's only job.
**[05:58] ---**
This one has all kinds of other tasks.
**[06:00] ---**
Oh crap.
**[06:01] ---**
It's all right.
**[06:03] ---**
They're only speaking the truth.
**[06:06] ---**
It doesn't really bother me.
**[06:09] ---**
Is that right?
**[06:12] ---**
Come on, let's go!
**[06:17] ---**
DELICIOUS - KIND - HEALTHY

**[06:32] ---**
*This is an emergency.*
**[06:33] ---**
Run! Bacteria!
**[06:34] ---**
*This is an emergency.*
**[06:35] ---**
Did they say "bacteria"?
**[06:35] ---**
*This is an emergency!*
**[06:37] ---**
But what's up with these tremors?
**[06:38] ---**
*This is an emergency!*

SMALL INTESTINE
**[06:43] ---**
Ouch!
**[06:47] ---**
Trouble!
***SIGN*** MAST CELL (FAT CELL):

This melody...
**[07:23] ---**
Basophil!
**[07:28] ---**
The wheels of fortune are already turning.
**[07:32] ---**
Can the capriccio leading to destruction
be stopped, I wonder.
**[07:43] ---**
O sorrowful warriors who must bear
the cross known as "peace"...
***SIGN*** BASOPHIL:
A type of White Blood Cell. Said to comprise
less than 1% of all White Blood Cells.
When a Basophil encounters a specific
pathogen, it releases histamines and the like,
thereby triggering an allergic reaction.
It creates a substance that will draw Neutrophils
and Eosinophils to the affected area.
Though Basophils are thought to have
immunity-related functions, as well,
this has yet to be sufficiently determined.

By the violent hands of a creature
who knows not love,
**[08:18] ---**
our paradise has been transformed into
a chaotic nation where control is non-existent.
**[08:23] ---**
There's no other way to end this tragedy
but to ask for your help.
**[08:28] ---**
Oh... Um, but wait...
**[08:31] ---**
Y-You mean we've been invaded by too much
bacteria to take out with gastric juice?
**[08:37] ---**
I-Is that right?
**[08:39] ---**
Wh-Whatever, let's go!
**[08:41] ---**
- This way?
- Yeah!

No. H-Huh?
**[10:04] ---**
For bacterial food poisoning,
**[10:06] ---**
there's a heck of a lot of damage
to the stomach wall.
**[10:08] ---**

Just send out the alert! The alert!
**[10:11] ---**
*We're being invaded by Enteritis Vibrio!*
**[10:14] ---**
*Those of you nearby,
please evacuate at once!*
**[10:20] ---**
It's here, huh?
**[10:21] ---**
It's gonna be just you and me
until backup gets here!
**[10:24] ---**
R-Right!
**[10:35] ---**
Forget that pink scrub!
Give us a hand over here!
**[10:39] ---**
Damn you, you're in my way!
**[10:41] ---**
I'm about to be eaten! Help!
**[10:44] ---**
Why, you!
**[10:46] ---**
Wha... Hey! Don't rush in like that!
**[11:06] ---**
Neutrophil!
**[11:08] ---**
How dare you...
**[11:09] ---**
Back off! Eosinophil!
**[11:11] ---**
You don't stand a chance against that one!
**[11:14] ---**
Come on! Over here, you moron!
**[11:17] ---**
Jeez, you're so insolent!
**[11:18] ---**
I'm gonna start by eating you!

His tremendous will has led
the sorrowful warrior to sacrifice himself.
**[11:39] ---**
To seal away the corruption of the world,
**[11:42] ---**
it is time to let the bloody requiem ring out.
**[11:47] ---**
Then what about Neutrophil?
**[12:07] ---**
I-Is everything else okay?
**[12:10] ---**
Y-Yeah.
**[12:12] ---**
Basophil called for backup.
**[12:14] ---**
Is that right?
**[12:15] ---**
What about you? Are you okay?
**[12:17] ---**
Yeah.
**[12:22] ---**
White Blood Cell! Eosinophil!
Are you all—
**[12:34] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[12:35] ---**
I was out of line.
**[12:38] ---**
I-It's all because
my phagocytic effects are so weak.
***SIGN*** PHAGOCYTIC EFFECTS:
When phagocytes such as Neutrophils
absorb bacteria and other foreign substances,
and break them down.
**[12:42] ---**
I made you go through all this insanity alone.
**[12:46] ---**
When I'm a White Blood Cell myself...
**[12:49] ---**
No.
**[12:50] ---**
You said it!
**[12:52] ---**
Why's that Eosinophil here anyway?
**[12:56] ---**
No. I'm sorry, too.
**[12:58] ---**
I was harsh on you
because it was an emergency.
**[13:01] ---**
I told you that you didn't have
a chance, but that was... Um...
**[13:07] ---**
It's all right.
**[13:08] ---**
I already know I'm a weakling.
**[13:13] ---**
Thanks for protecting me.

Parasitic Anisakis!
***SIGN*** ANISAKIS:
A parasite found in marine animals.
Also accelerates the immune system.
When humans consume anisakis-infested
seafood raw, in rare cases, they can invade
the stomach and the lining of the intestines,
causing food poisoning accompanied by
severe stomach pain and vomiting (anisakiasis).

BEWARE OF REGURGITATION
***SIGN*** NAUSEA/EMESIS:
A reaction triggered by certain stimuli
to the vomiting center located in the
medulla oblongata. The stomach's exit
is closed, whereas the entrance is relaxed,
causing the stomach to regurgitate its
contents. The diaphragm and abdominal
muscles contract, compressing the stomach,
and the stomach contents are ejected.

Even if we can't kill it, we...
**[16:54] ---**
No. 1146 got blasted away by just its voice!
**[17:02] ---**
So terrifying!
**[17:04] ---**
Aren't you guys White Blood Cells?
Hurry up and do something!
**[17:07] ---**
Don't be ridiculous!
We don't stand a chance!
**[17:15] ---**
D-Dammit!
**[17:19] ---**
I'll go.
**[17:28] ---**
E-Eosinophil?
**[17:31] ---**
Wh-What are you talking about, Eosinophil?
**[17:33] ---**
How can someone who can't even beat
a germ be a match for that one?
**[17:37] ---**
T-True!
**[17:38] ---**
Sure, we called you
all kinds of things, like "pushover,"
**[17:41] ---**
but we don't expect you
to sacrifice yourself at a time like this!
**[17:45] ---**
It's my job.
**[17:46] ---**
Wh-What the...
**[17:49] ---**
Wh-White Blood Cell!
Did you hear what Eosinophil said?
**[17:53] ---**
You have to stop her!
**[17:56] ---**
Wh-Why aren't you saying a word?
**[18:08] ---**
E-Eosinophil!

Eosinophil!
**[18:15] ---**
Don't worry, Red Blood Cell.
**[18:17] ---**
But... But look at it!
**[18:21] ---**
It's not like she's heading off to die.
**[18:26] ---**
Go, Eosinophil.
**[18:28] ---**
No one can take down that enemy but you!
**[18:44] ---**
*It's true that as a White Blood Cell,
my job is to exterminate bacteria.*

I guess I managed to ward off
his invasion somehow.
**[20:08] ---**
Thank you for chasing it away, Eosinophil!
**[20:11] ---**
I can't believe how you fought that thing!
I had the wrong idea about you!

Who would have thought
that light would stream in through a hole

**[03:55] ---**
At this rate, the allergens will go on
and invade the body through the outlet.

**[05:08] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[05:10] ---**
Thank you very much!

This tastes like an allergen
released by cedar pollen.
**[05:41] ---**
Not uncommon at this time of year.
**[05:43] ---**
They're large in size,
**[05:45] ---**
but unlike bacteria and viruses,
they don't cause illness.
**[05:48] ---**
Is that right?
**[05:50] ---**
Well, that said,
they can still be the cause of trouble.
**[05:54] ---**
We're supposed to kill them, but...
**[05:55] ---**
I see. So sorry.

It's not like Cedar Pollen allergens
are that dangerous.
**[06:30] ---**
Yeah! Not yet at least!
**[06:32] ---**
But there's a legend that's been passed down
to us Memory Cells for generations.

All right, here goes!
**[09:20] ---**
Cedar!
**[09:21] ---**
You're history!
**[09:25] ---**
Take that!

- Amazing!
**[09:45] ---**
That "divine mist" you just mentioned,
did you mean the IgE antibody?
**[09:49] ---**
I mean, it's looking like
he's solved the problem.
**[09:51] ---**
Yeah. For now, at least.
**[09:54] ---**
But something even worse
is about to happen now!
**[09:57] ---**
The mist will turn into dark clouds,
**[09:59] ---**
summon a heavy rainfall
and sweep everything away!
**[10:03] ---**
I don't know what's gonna happen,
but it sounds scary!
**[10:06] ---**
I'm telling you, something
mind-blowing is about to happen!
**[10:10] ---**
There's no telling
what might happen. Not at all.
**[10:13] ---**
- Yeah, good job, B Cell!
- Hit 'em again!
**[10:22] ---**

But it does say to produce histamines
commensurate with the amount of IgE...
**[11:16] ---**
Okay. Hold on a second.
First, let's calm down.
**[11:19] ---**
That's right. You'll be fine.
You can do it if you try.
**[11:22] ---**
No panicking allowed.
**[11:24] ---**
All I have to do is follow the manual.
**[11:26] ---**
Because that's my job!
**[11:30] ---**
About this much, perhaps?
**[11:35] ---**
Well, at any rate,
**[11:37] ---**
excessive use of IgE antibodies...
**[11:39] ---**
How should I put it, that's not good, right?
**[11:41] ---**
Most likely.
**[11:43] ---**
Hey B Cell!
**[11:45] ---**
Seems like it's not a good idea
to use too much of that!
**[11:48] ---**
I don't understand, but the legend says...
**[11:50] ---**
Huh? Legend?
**[11:53] ---**
It'll be fine!
**[11:55] ---**
Hey, either way, no worries!
**[11:57] ---**
Look, the histamines
are about to come into play!
**[12:00] ---**
That'll cause inflammation
and eliminate the allergens!
**[12:03] ---**
- I see.
- Is that so?
**[12:10] ---**
It's retracting.
**[12:11] ---**
They're just gonna change
the nozzle probably.
***SIGN*** HISTAMINE:
A chemical substance released
by Mast Cells upon recognizing
foreign substances or injury.
**[12:27] ---**
*Histamine.*
**[12:28] ---**
*A chemical substance released by Mast Cells

Is this that great rainfall?
**[12:42] ---**
It might be!
**[12:46] ---**
Cedar...
**[12:48] ---**
Cedar...
**[12:49] ---**
These guys just keep...
**[12:53] ---**
So there was elevated use of the antibody
because we'd been invaded
**[12:55] ---**
by this many Cedar Pollen Allergens!
**[12:57] ---**
This looks bad!
**[12:58] ---**
In that case, I need to release
even more histamines!
**[13:03] ---**
- Wait! Wait!
- Stop it already!
**[13:07] ---**
Is this the unprecedented catastrophe?
**[13:09] ---**
N-No, it's not!
This is nothing but the tip of the iceberg!
**[13:12] ---**
The really huge disaster is about to hit us now!
***SIGN*** THE HISTAMINE'S JOB:
Histamines dilate
the vascular endothelial cells,

We're being flooded by histamines nearby!
**[13:33] ---**
What? Make her stop them!
Contact Mast Cell!
**[13:37] ---**
The thing is, she's saying that to eliminate
the Cedar Pollen Allergens, she can't afford to stop!
**[13:42] ---**
No way! At this rate...
**[13:48] ---**
It's no good, Captain!
The histamines are flooding us...
**[13:51] ---**
The secretion center!
**[13:55] ---**
It short-circuited!
**[13:59] ---**
Bad news, Captain!
**[14:00] ---**
What is it now?
**[14:02] ---**
Because of the damage
to the secretion center...
**[14:05] ---**
the Emergency Immune System
is about to kick in!
***SIGN*** EMERGENCY IMMUNE SYSTEM=
ALLERGIC REACTION CAUSED BY HISTAMINES
When too many histamines
have been released,
this triggers allergic reactions
such as flushing, itching,
swelling, pain and bronchoconstriction.

What?
**[14:10] ---**
Emergency Immune System, you say?
**[14:11] ---**

***SIGN*** NASAL CONGESTION:
Histamines influence the blood vessels
in the nasal membrane,
causing inflammation and the like.
As a result, the nasal membrane swells
and bloats, causing nasal congestion.

He's the one who caused this!
How are you gonna fix this?
**[16:02] ---**
B Cell!
**[16:04] ---**
It's all because you kept sloshing
those antibodies around!
**[16:07] ---**
H-H-Hey, it's not my fault!
**[16:10] ---**
The histamines are to blame, right?
**[16:15] ---**
It's your fault, Mast Cell!
**[16:18] ---**
What the heck, you guys?
**[16:20] ---**
Hey! What's the big idea?
**[16:23] ---**
Let me go! Don't touch me!
**[16:25] ---**
It's not my fault!
The IgE is what caused this!
**[16:28] ---**
Ah, no.
**[16:29] ---**
The overproduction of histamines
is definitely what caused this!
**[16:32] ---**
All I did was do my job
according to the manual!
**[16:35] ---**
It's all your fault, damn you!
**[16:37] ---**
Can't do your job
unless you follow the manual, Fat Cell?
**[16:41] ---**
Don't call me by that name!
**[16:43] ---**
Doesn't the "B" in B Cell
stand for "Bonehead"?
**[16:45] ---**
What'd you say, dammit?
**[16:47] ---**
Shut up, Bonehead! Bonehead!
**[16:49] ---**
Wanna fight, moron?
**[16:54] ---**
This is getting out of hand.
**[16:56] ---**
Yeah.
**[16:58] ---**
But...
**[17:03] ---**
All everyone did
was fulfill their respective jobs,
**[17:08] ---**
so who knew it would turn out like this?
**[17:12] ---**
If only we knew
that this was going to happen...

I-I-I-I-I'm so sorry!
**[17:48] ---**
This is, um, not that I'm really sure myself,
but this is where I'm supposed to deliver it!
**[17:53] ---**
Actually, it looks like there's some kind
of commotion going on, but are you all right?

Compared to him,
you were doing your job like a gentleman!
**[20:48] ---**
Hey, when is this ever gonna stop?
**[21:06] ---**
Thank you for your patronage.
**[21:11] ---**
The Steroid went silent
after exhausting his active ingredients.
**[21:15] ---**
And somewhere along the line,
the Allergens died out spontaneously,
**[21:19] ---**
and the allergic reaction settled down.
**[21:22] ---**
Everybody made up with each other.
**[21:25] ---**
So, thank goodness!
**[21:29] ---**
Really.
**[21:32] ---**
Thank goodness.

I'll be looking after you until you become
full-fledged Red Blood Cells, all right?
***SIGN*** MACROPHAGE:
Inside the bone marrow,
Erythroblasts cluster
around the Macrophages,
which play a crucial role
in their differentiation

Teacher! That girl got so lost she's dizzy.
**[05:09] ---**
Oh my...

There, there. No need to cry. You'll be fine.
**[05:15] ---**
You'll stop getting lost before you know it.
You don't have to panic, all right?
**[05:20] ---**
Okay.
**[05:23] ---**
The blood vessel isn't always a peaceful place.
**[05:27] ---**
Extremely scary bacteria pop up
from time to time!
**[05:31] ---**
And so today, we're going to practice
running away from bacteria!
**[05:37] ---**
When bacteria appears,
hurry to a nearby corner and hide!
**[05:42] ---**
Okay!
**[05:44] ---**
I've asked Neutrophil to play
the role of the bacterium today.

T-Teacher!
**[06:05] ---**
What if I end up getting lost?
**[06:08] ---**
Don't worry.
**[06:10] ---**
You're all still children,
**[06:12] ---**
so you won't be able to leave
the bone marrow.
**[06:16] ---**
If you're here inside the bone marrow,
we can find you for sure!
***SIGN*** Until they mature and
undergo enucleation,
Erythroblasts reside

If you please.
**[06:47] ---**
Hey! Look who's here!
It's King Bacterium himself!
**[06:51] ---**
Any Red Blood Cells around?
**[06:55] ---**
Any Red Blood Cells around?
**[06:57] ---**
I wonder if you all managed
to hide yourselves well.
**[06:58] ---**
Any Red Blood Cells around?
**[07:01] ---**
Try not to get captured
by that scary bacterium!
**[07:05] ---**
Wait, where's that child?
**[07:08] ---**
Somebody help me!
**[07:16] ---**
Huh? Where am I now?
**[07:19] ---**
I've lost my way again!
**[07:22] ---**
That bacterium is scary, and I'm lost.
**[07:27] ---**
There's no way
I can ever become a Red Blood Cell!
**[07:33] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting
for your oxygen!
**[07:38] ---**
Thank you as always!
**[07:40] ---**
Not at all! Now if you'll excuse me!
**[07:42] ---**
I need one over here!
**[07:44] ---**
Roger that!
**[07:44] ---**
- One for me, too!
- Right!
**[07:47] ---**
*They're all so business-like.*
**[07:50] ---**
*So cool!*
**[07:53] ---**
*I wonder if these people
are Red Blood Cells.*
**[07:58] ---**
*Will I turn out like them someday, maybe?*
**[08:03] ---**
What's this?
**[08:04] ---**
Hey you, what are you doing here?
**[08:08] ---**
Teacher! You see, just now—
**[08:13] ---**
You're alone, huh?
**[08:15] ---**
How convenient for me!
**[08:18] ---**
You're an Erythroblast, aren't you?
A Red Blood Cell in the making.
**[08:22] ---**
Th-That's you in disguise, right, Teacher?
**[08:26] ---**
This is an evacuation drill, right?
**[08:28] ---**
Teacher, huh? Well, it's not really
such a stretch for me to be called that!
**[08:33] ---**
After all, I'm overwhelmingly
above you in status!
**[08:37] ---**
Even still,
**[08:40] ---**
you've got one thing wrong.
**[08:42] ---**
I'm a genuine Pseudomonas!
***SIGN*** PSEUDOMONAS:
One of the most common types
of persistent bacteria existing
in natural environments.
Can cause pseudomonas infections.
**[08:47] ---**
Ms. Macrophage!
**[08:49] ---**
Where do you think you're going?
**[08:53] ---**
BLOOD VESSEL
**[08:57] ---**
The door won't open! But why?
**[09:01] ---**
*Erythroblasts cannot leave
the bone marrow.*
**[09:06] ---**
But why?
**[09:07] ---**
I don't have time for rules like that!
**[09:14] ---**
A bacterium like me, who can survive
without stealing nutrients or oxygen...
**[09:19] ---**
Why do you think I made a point
of coming inside this body?
**[09:23] ---**
Because you see...
**[09:26] ---**
I just adore tormenting
helpless blood cells, that's why!
***SIGN*** PSEUDOMONAS:
Can divide and proliferate
like crazy even without nutrients.
Once it enters a live body,
it destroys blood cells
and the cell system
with a vengeance.
**[09:37] ---**
I can't take this anymore!
**[09:39] ---**
Now then, now then,
**[09:42] ---**
shall I finish you off now?
**[09:47] ---**
I do feel sorry for you.
After all, you're so young.
**[09:51] ---**
And you're going to die
before you can become an adult.
**[09:54] ---**
Well, but that's your destiny!
**[09:57] ---**
Deal with it!
**[10:01] ---**
*I-I don't want to die!*
**[10:04] ---**
*Not in a place like this!*
**[10:11] ---**
M-My eyes!
**[10:16] ---**
I mean, there's a chance that I could turn out
like those cool Red Blood Cells, too!
**[10:21] ---**
You wretched little brat!
**[10:29] ---**
Playtime is over!
**[10:32] ---**
Die!
**[10:34] ---**
Hold up!
**[10:35] ---**
You darned germ!
**[10:37] ---**
Don't think you can lay a finger on a blood cell
in this body, and live to tell the tale!
***SIGN*** MYELOCYTE:
Cells in the process of being differentiated,
before they become White Blood Cells
(Neutrophils, Eosinophils or Basophils).
They reside in the bone marrow.
**[10:42] ---**
Target sighted!
**[10:45] ---**
Who are you?
**[10:46] ---**
I don't need to tell a germ my name!
**[10:49] ---**
Oh? Are you by any chance a Myelocyte?
**[10:53] ---**
A White Blood Cell in the making?
**[10:55] ---**
You think you're going to kill me?
**[10:57] ---**
That's right! I'm gonna take you out!
**[11:00] ---**
I'm so scared! I'm so scared!
**[11:02] ---**
Take that, you darned germ!
**[11:05] ---**
My weapon!
**[11:07] ---**
All so lively, aren't you?
**[11:10] ---**
You little brats inside this body!
**[11:12] ---**
Give it back! Give it back!
**[11:12] ---**
What impressive blood cells
you're sure to become one day!
**[11:15] ---**
You darned germ!
**[11:20] ---**
That is, if you manage
to stay alive that long!
**[11:28] ---**
Big Brother!
**[11:31] ---**
This is such a blast!
**[11:33] ---**
Destroying little squirts' dreams,
smashing their pride to smithereens...
**[11:37] ---**
No wonder I can't stop
tormenting the weak!
**[11:44] ---**
Please don't die, Big Brother!
**[11:48] ---**
I don't dislike kids with courage!
**[11:52] ---**
If you hand over that Erythroblast,
**[11:55] ---**
I'll spare just your life!
**[11:59] ---**
What's it gonna be, little boy?
**[12:03] ---**
Don't give me that.
**[12:06] ---**
You really think I'd do something like that?
**[12:11] ---**
Even if we, White Blood Cells,
have to sacrifice our own lives,
**[12:17] ---**
always protect other cells!
**[12:21] ---**
I'm gonna be a great White Blood Cell!
**[12:27] ---**
All right, that's the spirit! Myelocyte!
**[12:40] ---**
You're safe now, okay, you two?
**[12:42] ---**
Thank goodness! We were so worried!
**[12:52] ---**
Oh my.
**[12:56] ---**
All right, let's take care
of those wounds right away.
**[12:59] ---**
Okay.
**[13:04] ---**
Neutrophil Teacher,
thank you very much for your help!
**[13:07] ---**
Big Brother!
**[13:13] ---**
Thank you so much for rescuing me!
**[13:17] ---**
Will I see you again?
**[13:23] ---**
I don't know.
**[13:26] ---**
I don't know, but...
**[13:28] ---**
But...
**[13:30] ---**
when we grow up and start working
inside the blood vessels,
**[13:35] ---**
maybe we'll see each other somewhere.
**[13:38] ---**
Bye-bye.
**[13:41] ---**
Bye-bye!
**[13:43] ---**
Bye-bye!
**[13:45] ---**
Bye-bye!
**[13:51] ---**
*Ever since I started working,
I've been so busy that I forgot.*
**[13:56] ---**
*But that did happen, didn't it?*
**[14:01] ---**
Okay! I'm gonna deliver
this oxygen pronto!
**[14:05] ---**
TEA
**[14:08] ---**
I'm sorry! Please forgive me!
**[14:10] ---**
Are you all right?
**[14:12] ---**
No, I'm the one who should be sorry.
**[14:17] ---**
White Blood Cell?
**[14:19] ---**
Is that you?
**[14:21] ---**
We sure run into each other a lot.
**[14:25] ---**
Th-This is fresh tea!
**[14:28] ---**
You're lost again?
**[14:30] ---**
Yeah.
**[14:32] ---**
It's all right. I'll go with you.
**[14:35] ---**
Since I'm free right now.
**[14:37] ---**
Thank you so much!
**[14:41] ---**
*White Blood Cell, huh?*
**[14:45] ---**
*That boy back then... I wonder
if he's an able White Blood Cell now?*
**[14:49] ---**
*It happened so long ago,
I don't really remember his face.*
**[14:54] ---**
*Could it be?*
**[14:58] ---**
What is it?
**[14:59] ---**
Oh no!
**[15:00] ---**
*No, but really, that would be
too much of a coincidence, right?*
**[15:12] ---**
Cells...
**[15:13] ---**
...at Work!
**[15:18] ---**
Thank you so much
for showing me the way!
**[15:22] ---**
Sure. See you.
**[15:24] ---**
It's been so peaceful lately!
**[15:26] ---**
We've had zero incidents.
**[15:29] ---**
This tea is good.
**[15:31] ---**
I only wish this could last.
**[15:38] ---**
Some kind of weird cell is on the attack!
**[15:42] ---**
S-Somebody help me!
**[15:46] ---**
CELL
**[15:58] ---**
Who the hell is this?
**[16:00] ---**
That's some unusual prey!
**[16:03] ---**
I haven't seen you eliminate
a cell in forever, Neutrophil!
***SIGN*** KILLER T CELLS (CYTOTOXIC T CELLS):
Mobilize under orders
from the Helper T Cells.
They kill virus-infected cells,
Cancer Cells and the like.
**[16:08] ---**
Is that you, Killer T?
**[16:10] ---**
I know you looked out
for Naive the other day.
**[16:15] ---**
Too bad for him.
**[16:17] ---**
Did he get infected
with a virus, maybe?
**[16:19] ---**
That's what I thought.
**[16:22] ---**
Hard to stomach, isn't it?
**[16:24] ---**
Incidents involving
your own friends.
**[16:27] ---**
Now then,
**[16:28] ---**
I'm gonna take this corpse
into custody, all right?
**[16:32] ---**
Excuse me.
**[16:34] ---**
Dealing with cell-related trouble...
That's our job!
**[16:37] ---**
Your main job is to kill bacteria, right?
**[16:42] ---**
It's not like we don't take care
of cell-related trouble, too.
**[16:46] ---**
Excuse me!
**[16:50] ---**
Hey, what's the problem?
**[16:52] ---**
I mean, I'm bored
since no jobs have been coming in!
**[16:58] ---**
You're...
**[17:00] ---**
NK Cell!
***SIGN*** NK CELL (NATURAL KILLER CELL):
They patrol the entire body,
attacking as soon as they spot
Cancer Cells or viruses.
**[17:01] ---**
*NK Cell.*
**[17:03] ---**
*They patrol the entire body,*
**[17:05] ---**
*attacking as soon as they spot*
**[17:08] ---**
*Cancer Cells or viruses.*
**[17:10] ---**
Hey, my bad.
I couldn't find a suitable cushion.
**[17:14] ---**
Damn you! What do you want?
**[17:16] ---**
I knew it.
**[17:18] ---**
This guy's no ordinary virus.
**[17:21] ---**
He's the type
who proliferates at warp speed.
**[17:24] ---**
I'm pretty sure
his friends are still around, so...
**[17:27] ---**
Maybe I'll ask that cell there
to show me the way?
**[17:31] ---**
Hey you,
**[17:33] ---**
it's not just this one virus, right?
**[17:37] ---**
Um, that's correct.
**[17:38] ---**
There are still some in my area!
**[17:40] ---**
What? In the cell system?
**[17:42] ---**
Y-You should've spoken up sooner!
**[17:44] ---**
Well, that's what I've been trying
to tell you all this time.
**[17:47] ---**
You damn idiot! Show us the way now!
**[17:49] ---**
Hold up a second!
**[17:51] ---**
As it happens, I've been extremely idle.
**[17:54] ---**
Sorry, but I'm going to take this job!
**[17:57] ---**
What?
**[17:59] ---**
One more thing...
**[18:00] ---**
I don't want you guys
to come along.
**[18:02] ---**
The last thing I need
is to have you underfoot.
**[18:05] ---**
So I'll be going off alone!
**[18:06] ---**
Wh-Why, you, who do you think you—
**[18:10] ---**
Oops, my hand slipped.
**[18:12] ---**
Sorry!
**[18:13] ---**
I'm powerful, so I'll be fine.
**[18:16] ---**
Hey, Killer T. You all right?
**[18:21] ---**
And then, you see...
**[18:23] ---**
A bucket? Sure!
**[18:31] ---**
Oops, my bad. My hand slipped.
**[18:37] ---**
We wouldn't want you to catch a cold,
so you go on home, young lady, and sit tight!
**[18:42] ---**
Oops! My hand slipped again!
**[18:44] ---**
Sorry! My foot slipped!
**[18:46] ---**
I apologize! My elbow slipped!
**[18:49] ---**
That's too much slipping!
You going senile or what?
**[18:53] ---**
Who are you to talk?
**[18:56] ---**
I'm gonna kill you!
**[18:57] ---**
Huh! I'd like to see you try it!
**[19:00] ---**
They're allies,
but they're killing each other!
**[19:02] ---**
Just what you'd expect of immunity cells.
**[19:04] ---**
Th-They sure don't get along.
**[19:07] ---**
Yeah, they probably don't.
**[19:09] ---**
Maybe we should just leave them behind.
**[19:12] ---**
By the way, Cell...
**[19:13] ---**
About showing us the way...
**[19:15] ---**
You don't have to come
the whole way, okay?
**[19:18] ---**
The cells I'm going off to kill
might have been your friends or neighbors.
**[19:24] ---**
You wouldn't want to see that, do you?
**[19:27] ---**
No, hey, I'll be fine!
**[19:29] ---**
I'll take you all the way.
**[19:31] ---**
Since it's for the sake of this world.
**[19:34] ---**
And besides, remember?
You just saved my life.
**[19:39] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[19:40] ---**
That was the first time
I'd ever been rescued.
**[19:44] ---**
Don't worry! I totally understand.
**[19:47] ---**
That this is something
we can't do anything about.
**[19:50] ---**
That for the sake of world peace,
sometimes your friends can get killed.
**[19:55] ---**
And also the fact that that's your job.
**[19:59] ---**
Is that right? I appreciate that.
**[20:02] ---**
Anyway, who knew there were immunity cells
who were sensitive to that?
**[20:07] ---**
W-Well, maybe.
**[20:10] ---**
Not that I can broadcast it
in front of Killer T.
**[20:14] ---**
I win!
**[20:15] ---**
I haven't lost yet!
**[20:19] ---**
CELL SYSTEM
**[20:19] ---**
I thought that cells were living here...
**[20:22] ---**
There's no sign of them.
**[20:24] ---**
That virus's friends are probably laying low.
**[20:29] ---**
Come on!
**[20:33] ---**
It's deserted.
**[20:36] ---**
This is serious.
**[20:39] ---**
For now, let's report to HQ,
and then we'll patrol the area together.
**[20:43] ---**
Together? No way in hell is that happening!
**[20:46] ---**
Then it'll be two against two!
**[20:47] ---**
And I'm taking our guide with me!
**[20:49] ---**
Sure, be my guest!
**[20:51] ---**
It would be so uncool
if the Lone Wolf got herself lost, huh?
**[20:54] ---**
H-Hey, no fighting!
**[20:56] ---**
I'm not fighting!
This is a rejection reaction!
**[20:59] ---**
No way can I focus on my work
if I'm teamed up with someone like that!
**[21:03] ---**
Oh thank goodness!
**[21:05] ---**
Now I'm freed
from babysitting the moron!
**[21:11] ---**
Hey!
**[21:12] ---**
Don't let your personal feelings
get in the way!
**[21:15] ---**
Come back here!
**[21:16] ---**
It'll get worse if we go along with her!
**[21:21] ---**
I'm talking about compatibility!
Compatibility!
**[21:26] ---**
You don't know when to shut up, do you?
**[21:29] ---**
Now, then...
**[21:32] ---**
We should get started, too, right?
**[21:37] ---**
Since that pain in the neck
is out of the way,
**[21:40] ---**
I'll be glad to take you on,
that's what I'm saying.
**[21:43] ---**
Although if what you want is to die
as someone else, feel free to stand pat.
**[21:47] ---**
Show me who you really are!
**[21:53] ---**
So, I'm busted, huh?
**[23:24] ---**

**[23:26] ---**
I'm getting a bad vibe.
**[23:28] ---**
Come on, let me enjoy myself a little longer!
**[23:30] ---**
This is no viral infection!
**[23:32] ---**
You ripped me off!
**[23:33] ---**
What happened to that cell kid?
**[23:34] ---**
There's something strange going on!

All three of you are here, I see.

What's going on?
**[01:38] ---**
M-My shoelace broke on me!
***SIGN*** RED BLOOD CELLS:
They carry oxygen
and carbon dioxide
using blood circulation.
**[01:41] ---**
Oh no! That's a bad omen!
**[01:42] ---**
BAD OMEN #1: Shoelace breaks
**[01:44] ---**
Please go on ahead.
**[01:46] ---**
I'll catch up in no time!
**[01:47] ---**
Roger that.
I'll be taking my time, okay?
**[01:50] ---**
Senpai! Thank you for waiting!
**[01:53] ---**
BAD OMEN #2: Walking under a ladder
**[01:53] ---**
Listen, you! I just warned you,
and you're passing under a ladder!
**[01:57] ---**
Uh-oh!
**[01:58] ---**
WASTE
**[01:58] ---**
BAD OMEN #3: Dishes break
**[01:59] ---**
H-Hey, I'm so sorry!
**[02:01] ---**
The dishes! Bad luck!
**[02:04] ---**
What are you doing?
**[02:05] ---**
I'm so sorry!
**[02:06] ---**
I'll pick it all up for you!
**[02:08] ---**
BAD OMEN #4: Cowlick is agitated
**[02:10] ---**
Even her cowlick!
**[02:12] ---**
Is this a paranormal phenomenon?
**[02:17] ---**
*What's going on?*
**[02:19] ---**
*I'm getting a really bad vibe.*
**[02:22] ---**
Oh, hey, it stopped.
**[02:27] ---**
Show me who you really are!
**[02:31] ---**
So, I'm busted, huh?
**[02:33] ---**
You've progressed the most, and so,
you passed yourself off as a harmless cell,
**[02:37] ---**
hoping to lure us out, isn't that right?
**[02:49] ---**
What about you, lady?
**[02:50] ---**
You think you let your two allies get away
from the enemy territory, don't you?
**[02:54] ---**
I see you're not rattled at all.
**[02:58] ---**
It would've saved me a lot of trouble
if I had the three of you in one place.
***SIGN*** CANCER CELL:
Cells that proliferate wildly
when there's an anomaly
in the cell's genes.
Invading the boundaries
between themselves
and surrounding normal cells,
they proliferate endlessly.
**[03:04] ---**
*Cancer Cell.*

**[03:17] ---**
I didn't let them get away.
**[03:19] ---**
They were in my way, that's all.
**[03:21] ---**
EPISODE 7:
CANCER CELL
**[03:22] ---**
After all, they couldn't
even see through your disguise.
**[03:25] ---**
You wretched bug bastard!
**[03:27] ---**
You could've just wreaked havoc
anywhere random,
**[03:31] ---**
but you chose to come here
and give that elaborate performance.
**[03:33] ---**
You've got something
up your sleeve, am I right?
**[03:36] ---**
Tell me what it is, Cancer Cell!
**[03:43] ---**
I don't want to.
**[03:45] ---**
CELL
**[03:54] ---**
Hey! What's up with that?
What a lame attack!
**[03:58] ---**
It was all I could do not to burst out laughing,
and I still played along the whole time!
**[04:05] ---**
Come on, let me enjoy myself a little longer!
**[04:16] ---**
Hey, that's not half bad, you know.
**[04:21] ---**
Well, excuse me and my lame attacks!
**[04:29] ---**
*Now then, what am I gonna do with him?*
**[04:39] ---**
Something's not right.
***SIGN*** WHITE BLOOD CELLS
(NEUTROPHILS):
Their main task is to
eliminate foreign
substances from outside,
such as bacteria and viruses.
**[04:41] ---**
WHITE BLOOD CELL
**[04:42] ---**
Let's turn back and meet up
with NK and the other one.
**[04:45] ---**
Forget about them!
**[04:47] ---**
*Oh right. Let me contact them.*
**[04:50] ---**
*What's this?*
**[04:52] ---**
*This piece of paper...*
***SIGN*** KILLER T CELLS (CYTOTOXIC T CELLS):
Mobilize under orders
from the Helper T Cells.
They kill virus-infected cells,
Cancer Cells and the like.
**[04:58] ---**
What the hell is this?
**[05:02] ---**
MAKE MORE FRIENDS
**[05:02] ---**
GOING OUTSIDE IS PROHIBITED
DON'T TAKE THIS OFF
***SIGN*** KEEP THE SWITCH CLEAN
***SIGN*** DO NOT HIT
**[05:09] ---**
ABOUT CHROMOSOMES
**[05:10] ---**
This is...
**[05:11] ---**
Yeah. Hey!
**[05:13] ---**
Look at this!
**[05:16] ---**
Does this mean that the cells here
are ignoring the normal proliferation program?
**[05:21] ---**
Yeah. There's tons of them.
***SIGN*** PROLIFERATION:
Unable to suppress cell proliferation,
Cancer Cells self-proliferate
at an unchecked rate.
**[05:24] ---**
This is totally abnormal.
**[05:26] ---**
They're busting through their
cell membranes. It's a free-for-all!
***SIGN*** INFILTRATION:
Cancer cells can moisten the cell walls
of normal cells around them.
**[05:30] ---**
They really did a number
on the surrounding tissue, too!
***SIGN*** METASTASIS:
Cancer cells travel through
the blood vessels and lymph ducts,
spreading to other parts
of the body, and widening
the scope of their activity.
**[05:32] ---**
FRAGILE
**[05:32] ---**
And just look at these moving boxes,
organized so neatly!
**[05:37] ---**
Don't tell me...
**[05:38] ---**
The cells that were here aren't...
**[05:41] ---**
CELL DIVISION
**[05:42] ---**
Proliferation, infiltration and metastasis!
**[05:45] ---**
This is no viral infection!
**[05:48] ---**
Are they Cancer Cells?
**[05:56] ---**
My bad!
**[06:10] ---**
There's so many of them!
**[06:11] ---**
Dammit, where did they all come from?
**[06:17] ---**
Th-This looks bad, Killer T!
**[06:19] ---**
NK and Cell are in danger!
**[06:21] ---**
You moron!
**[06:23] ---**
You need to worry about yourself
and this time and place instead of others!
**[06:31] ---**
NK!
**[06:35] ---**
Hey, NK! Damn you!
**[06:38] ---**
All that bluster, and this is how you end up?
**[06:40] ---**
Oh please. The two of you sure seem
to be sitting pretty yourselves!
**[06:44] ---**
Don't be such a sore loser!
You've always been a loose cannon!
**[06:48] ---**
Why don't you shut up, idiot?
**[06:50] ---**
You morons didn't even notice
the Cancer Cell in our midst!
**[06:52] ---**
What did you say?
**[06:53] ---**
Both of you! Don't fight at a time like this!
**[06:56] ---**
NK! Forget about that!
Where's that young cell kid?
**[07:03] ---**
Could you be any denser?
If you're looking for that one, there he is!
**[07:09] ---**
C-Cancer Cell?
**[07:20] ---**
I see all three of you are here.
**[07:22] ---**
So that makes it
three against one, I guess.
**[07:26] ---**
*That cell kid is a Cancer Cell?*
**[07:28] ---**
*So NK knew all along?*
**[07:31] ---**
*No, wait...
When he was being chased earlier...*
**[07:34] ---**
*That was him acting?*
**[07:36] ---**
*Meaning he and his friends
put on a performance?*
**[07:39] ---**
Now that all three of you are here,
I'll be glad to clue you in.
**[07:42] ---**
Lady, you were keen to know
why I'm doing this, weren't you?
**[07:47] ---**
I wanted to let you experience it.
**[07:50] ---**
How it feels to get ganged up on
**[07:53] ---**
and massacred so violently
by you Immune Cells!
**[08:01] ---**
What?
**[08:02] ---**
So he'd already taken over
this whole building?
**[08:14] ---**
This is why I told you
I'd handle this on my own.
**[08:18] ---**
You wusses don't stand a chance
against the enemy.
**[08:21] ---**
Because you're only going to get hurt.
**[08:25] ---**
NK...
**[08:27] ---**
Y-You damn moron...
**[08:47] ---**
CAUTION
***SIGN*** PLATELETS
They aggregate when the blood vessels
are damaged, and cover the wounds.
**[08:50] ---**
PLATELETS
**[08:51] ---**
It's Big Sister Red Blood Cell!
**[08:53] ---**
Hello!
**[08:54] ---**
Well, well! Hello, little Platelets!
**[09:02] ---**
That tickles!
**[09:03] ---**
FRAGILE
CONDENSED GAS
**[09:04] ---**
Can't get over how peaceful
it is, huh, Senpai?
**[09:08] ---**
You said it.
**[09:10] ---**
*Come to think of it, those bad vibes
I was getting earlier...*
**[09:18] ---**
*I guess I was just imagining things after all?*
**[09:22] ---**
Sorry about that!
**[09:23] ---**
Oh, that's okay.
**[09:25] ---**
See you later!
**[09:26] ---**
- Bye-bye!
- Bye-bye!
**[09:28] ---**
Did you see that guy just now?
**[09:30] ---**
That was some gigantic load of nutrients,
he was carrying, huh?
**[09:33] ---**
Looked like a lot to handle.
Should we help him out?
**[09:37] ---**
Good idea.
**[09:40] ---**
Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
**[09:42] ---**
H-Hey, hold up! Excuse me!
**[09:44] ---**
Huh?
**[09:45] ---**
What's the deal
with this huge load of nutrients?
**[09:49] ---**
Uh... We thought it was weird, too,
but we just got a giant order.
**[09:54] ---**
They're telling us to keep 'em coming.
**[09:56] ---**
It's this housing complex
that placed the order.
**[10:03] ---**
Are there really that many cells living here?
**[10:07] ---**
Why don't we take a peek inside?
***SIGN*** HOW CANCER CELLS WORK:
Cancer cells release massive amounts
of a substance called "inflammatory cytokine."
This draws nutrient-rich blood to them
on a preferential basis, contributing
to Cancer Cell proliferation. If this persists,
it upsets the body's balance in various ways.
**[10:15] ---**
We'll just leave this outside!
**[10:20] ---**
What was that? Talk about scary!
**[10:22] ---**
Hey, this can't be a good thing, right?
**[10:25] ---**
If they consume this amount of nutrients,
this body's overall energy will...
**[10:30] ---**
You're right, it's not a good thing.
**[10:32] ---**
But we're being told to keep
the deliveries coming, so...
**[10:35] ---**
It seems really sketchy,
but let's help out, too.
**[10:39] ---**
Uh, right.
**[10:41] ---**
But...
**[10:44] ---**
Come on! Let's go!
**[10:46] ---**
Right!
**[11:11] ---**
Die, you goddamn bug!
**[11:24] ---**
Die, you goddamn bug!
**[11:30] ---**
Two Cancer Cells have escaped!
**[11:32] ---**
Crap! Those goddamn bugs!
**[11:34] ---**
Find them and eliminate them!
**[11:37] ---**
Find them!
**[11:39] ---**
Find them and make sure
they're eliminated!
**[11:45] ---**
This should be far enough...
**[11:48] ---**
Hey—
**[11:50] ---**
You little imbecile!
**[11:52] ---**
Your copying error made us look like fools!
**[11:55] ---**
Sorry about that! I was so wiped out.
***SIGN*** HOW MANY CANCER CELLS
ARE PRODUCED IN 1 DAY:
Due to copying errors that occur
when normal cells divide,
Cancer Cells are produced
at a rate of several thousand a day,
even in healthy people.
**[12:04] ---**
H-Hey, are we gonna get killed
even though we were only just born?
**[12:11] ---**
What do they mean by "copying error"?
**[12:14] ---**
D-Don't ask me!
**[12:16] ---**
But for now,
let's just try to escape together!
**[12:21] ---**
H-Hey!
**[12:24] ---**
There's one of them!
**[12:25] ---**
Capture him!
**[12:28] ---**
Gotcha! Just one more to go!
**[12:30] ---**
Smoke him out no matter what
and murder him!
**[12:34] ---**
You goddamn bug!
**[12:43] ---**
Did you call me a goddamn bug?
**[12:46] ---**
And you're gonna kill me?
**[12:47] ---**
Damn you, treating me like a defect!
**[12:52] ---**
Who the hell do you guys think you are?
**[12:55] ---**
Why should we have to get killed?
**[13:04] ---**
We've never done anything wrong!
**[13:07] ---**
All we did was come into this world!
**[13:12] ---**
I'm gonna murder the three of you instead!
**[13:39] ---**
It won't be long now!
**[13:41] ---**
Oh my, Red Blood Cell!
**[13:43] ---**
What's wrong?
Why are you in such a rush?
**[13:47] ---**
Macrophage!
**[13:49] ---**
I'm not really sure why,
**[13:50] ---**
but we're getting tons of orders
from that housing complex right there!
**[13:54] ---**
Something strange is going on
with that complex!
***SIGN*** MACROPHAGE
A type of White Blood Cell.
Captures and kills foreign substances
such as bacteria, and finds antigens
and immunity information.
**[14:02] ---**
Now, we're gonna scatter all over the body
via the blood vessels and lymph ducts.
**[14:07] ---**
That's where we're gonna proliferate,
and then kill every last one of your friends.
**[14:12] ---**
By knocking all you normal cells down
from the killers' side to the victims' side,
**[14:16] ---**
all the way to rock bottom!
**[14:20] ---**
That's absurd!
**[14:21] ---**
There's no way this world can be sustained
by the power of lunatic cells!
**[14:27] ---**
You can try all you want,
**[14:29] ---**
but the only thing in store for you
is annihilation!
**[14:35] ---**
That's just fine with me.
**[14:39] ---**
After all, it's my fate to die.
**[14:42] ---**
Hold up! Metastasis!
**[14:45] ---**
That's the one thing
I won't let you get away with!
**[14:50] ---**
See ya.
**[14:56] ---**
You guys!
**[14:57] ---**
Are you all right?
***SIGN*** B CELL (ANTIBODY-PRODUCING CELL):
A type of Lymphocyte that fights antigens
by producing weapons called "antibodies."
**[14:59] ---**
You're finished, you damn Cancer Cell!
**[15:04] ---**
Dear me...
**[15:05] ---**
I was aiming for his head,
but I seem to have missed!
**[15:15] ---**
Just like you said, Red Blood Cell,
this place is teeming with strange cells!
**[15:19] ---**
Killing them will be so rewarding!
**[15:22] ---**
Just when I thought he was nowhere
to be seen, there's White Blood Cell!
**[15:26] ---**
R-Red Blood Cell!
***SIGN*** HELPER T CELLS:
They relay information
and countermeasure strategies
for foreign enemies to other cells.
**[15:29] ---**
Cancer Cells!
**[15:31] ---**
We, Immune Cells, have you
completely surrounded!
**[15:36] ---**
Just calmly surrender.
**[15:44] ---**
Hey.
**[15:48] ---**
You gonna sit there forever?
**[15:58] ---**
We're gonna take that bastard out
**[16:00] ---**
together, all right?
**[16:02] ---**
You don't have to tell me!
**[16:04] ---**
*Killer T, NK...*
**[16:06] ---**
Losing to him...
**[16:08] ---**
Losing to those Cancer Cells
isn't an option!
**[16:11] ---**
Let's do it for this world!
**[16:14] ---**
Let's go!
**[16:28] ---**
There they are!
It's a horde of Cancer Cells!
**[16:30] ---**
You're right! So scary!
**[16:38] ---**
Killer, dodge to the right!
**[16:40] ---**
Gotcha! To the right!
**[16:42] ---**
Eat this! Full charge!
**[16:53] ---**
Goodness, what an idiot you are!
**[16:57] ---**
NK! What do you think
you're doing?
**[17:00] ---**
Hilarious! I'm telling you,
this is totally killing me!
**[17:09] ---**
My bad, Killer!
**[17:11] ---**
Oh boy, was that hysterical!
**[17:16] ---**
Laughing my head off
gave me a shot in the arm!
**[17:19] ---**
Wh-What's going on?
**[17:23] ---**
I-I see! NK Cell...
**[17:35] ---**
You picked the wrong opponent!
**[17:37] ---**
I'll be happy to explain!
**[17:39] ---**
See, as an NK Cell...
***SIGN*** NK CELL'S REVITALIZATION:
Transmitters called "neuropeptides"
are produced when the brain is stimulated
through laughter. These bind to the surface
of the NK cells, revitalizing them.
**[17:45] ---**
...I get revitalized by laughter!
**[17:52] ---**
No way! How can this...
How can this be happening?
**[17:56] ---**
Go on, Neutrophil! Finish him off!
**[17:59] ---**
Gotcha!
**[18:02] ---**
Die, Cancer Cell!
**[18:07] ---**
Canceled...
**[18:15] ---**
Oh man, I was this close, too.
**[18:18] ---**
Mister, are you
that White Blood Cell from before?
**[18:21] ---**
What do you want with me?
You've got some bitter words for me?
**[18:24] ---**
Like "How dare you lie to us?"
**[18:27] ---**
Why don't you just say something already?
**[18:30] ---**
Uh, actually...
**[18:32] ---**
I was just thinking how you're a cell, too.
**[18:38] ---**
You may not have the strength
to move anymore,
**[18:41] ---**
but it looks like you can still talk, huh?
**[18:44] ---**
Before I finish you off,
**[18:45] ---**
if you have anything to say,
I'll be happy to hear you out.
**[18:49] ---**
Pretending to be such a nice guy...
You really piss me off.
**[18:57] ---**
When I disguised myself as a normal cell,
and you rescued me, I...
**[19:03] ---**
That just made me so happy, you know?
**[19:06] ---**
Since it was the first time in my life
that anyone had ever rescued me...
**[19:11] ---**
There isn't a single cell in this world
who would try to save a cell like me.
**[19:20] ---**
Why would there be, right?
**[19:22] ---**
I'm really just a cell, you know!
**[19:26] ---**
I should've gotten the chance to just live
in peace every day with you all,
**[19:29] ---**
as a member of this world!
**[19:33] ---**
But...
**[19:35] ---**
We, Immune Cells, can't save you.
**[19:39] ---**
You defy the rules of this body,
**[19:41] ---**
proliferating, stealing nutrients
and destroying normal tissue.
**[19:46] ---**
We can neither let you live nor repair you.
**[19:52] ---**
I know that, all right?
**[19:56] ---**
But... But once today ends,
**[19:59] ---**
you're all just gonna forget!
**[20:02] ---**
My grudge, my anger, my grief...
**[20:07] ---**
They're all just gonna fade away,
never to be heard!
**[20:10] ---**
And it will be like they never existed.
**[20:13] ---**
Nothing will remain.
**[20:15] ---**
Thanks to a cell division gone wrong,
**[20:19] ---**
the Immune Cells that should've been
my allies went after me!
**[20:23] ---**
I fought them and lost.
**[20:25] ---**
And now I'm gonna die
without leaving my mark in this world!
**[20:29] ---**
Why was I ever born in the first place?
**[20:33] ---**
Even so,
**[20:35] ---**
I have no choice but to kill you.
**[20:39] ---**
Because that's my job.
**[20:45] ---**
Fine. I'll gladly lose to you.
**[20:49] ---**
For today, that is.
**[20:52] ---**
White Blood Cell!
**[20:54] ---**
Are you all right?
**[20:56] ---**
Red Blood Cell!
**[21:04] ---**
Is he... Is he the enemy you fought today?
The Cancer Cell...
**[21:08] ---**
So scary!
**[21:10] ---**
Nothing to be scared about.
**[21:12] ---**
I've already finished him off.
**[21:14] ---**
For now, at least.
**[21:18] ---**
*Fine. I'll gladly lose to you.*
**[21:21] ---**
*For today, that is.*
**[21:24] ---**
Cancer Cell, please
don't ever come here again!
**[21:28] ---**
By the way, Red Blood Cell...
**[21:32] ---**
You're the one who summoned
the other Immune Cells, right?
**[21:35] ---**
Thanks. I owe you one.
**[21:38] ---**
Sure!
**[21:39] ---**
By the way, what were you talking
about just now?
**[21:42] ---**
No, nothing, really.
**[21:47] ---**
*Cancer Cell...*
**[21:49] ---**
*Even if we do meet again,*
**[21:52] ---**
*we, Immune Cells,
will bring you down for sure!*

*Stuff like this
is always happening around me!*

of the White Blood Cells in the blood.
**[03:58] ---**
Wh-White Blood Cell...
**[04:00] ---**
Thank you so much!
**[04:03] ---**
What are you doing in a place like this?
**[04:05] ---**
There's nothing
but lymphatic vessels up ahead.
**[04:08] ---**
I lost my way again!
**[04:12] ---**
You're lost?
**[04:13] ---**
Y-Yes.
**[04:17] ---**
*And now White Blood Cell
is all injured because of me!*
**[04:22] ---**
*I can't go on like this!*
**[04:23] ---**
*I've got to get a grip!*
**[04:26] ---**
Then, I'll show you the way again.
**[04:33] ---**
Whoa! R-Red Blood Cell is ablaze!
**[04:36] ---**
"I'm going to finish the job all by myself!"
**[04:39] ---**
That's what her aura is saying!
**[04:42] ---**
So I guess I'll stop meddling.
**[04:45] ---**
S-See you! Keep up the good work, okay?
**[04:48] ---**
Right!

Let's see... If I go this way,
**[05:49] ---**
then I'll reach the inferior vena cava!
**[05:54] ---**
This is #1146.
**[05:56] ---**
As of now, I'll be patrolling
the entire body.
**[05:59] ---**
*Roger that!*
**[06:00] ---**
*I'll be hanging around the liver area.*
**[06:04] ---**
Good work!

**[06:24] ---**
Th-This way?
**[06:26] ---**
Why are you running the other way,
Red Blood Cell?
**[06:30] ---**
Hey you! Why are you going
the other way?
**[06:32] ---**
This is the same valve
you just passed through!
**[06:35] ---**
S-Sorry about that!
**[06:37] ---**
What a dummy!
**[06:39] ---**
I was holding my map upside down!

**[06:55] ---**
I mean, the vena cava's just a huge
straight path, so sure, it's a breeze!
**[07:00] ---**
The way it goes uphill wipes you out, huh?
**[07:04] ---**
Yeah, okay! I've got to give it my all,
especially in places like this!
**[07:10] ---**
When the path is confusing,
it takes up so much time, after all!
**[07:16] ---**
Huh? What are you doing alone here?
**[07:19] ---**
Want me to go with you?
**[07:23] ---**
*Sh-She's on fire!*

*You are about to embark on a speedy,
thrilling journey called "heart circulation"!*
**[08:17] ---**
PULMONARY ARTERY
RIGHT VENTRICLE
RIGHT ATRIUM
**[08:19] ---**
*First, lung circulation.*
**[08:21] ---**
*You'll be traveling from the right atrium
to the left ventricle,*
**[08:23] ---**
*and through the lung artery.*
**[08:26] ---**
*Once you arrive in the lung, you will discard
your carbon dioxide and receive oxygen.*
**[08:29] ---**
*This is the first task
that you've been assigned.*
**[08:29] ---**
1: RECEIVE OXYGEN!
**[08:32] ---**
PULMONARY ARTERY
LEFT ATRIUM
LEFT VENTRICLE
AORTIC VALVE
AORTA
**[08:32] ---**
*From there, you'll pass
through the lung artery to the left atrium.*
**[08:35] ---**
*Next up, body circulation.*
**[08:38] ---**
*From the left atrium,
go through the aorta,*
**[08:40] ---**
*and head to the capillaries
from the arteries.*
**[08:42] ---**
NUTRIENTS
**[08:43] ---**
*Hand over your oxygen
and nutrients there,*
**[08:45] ---**
WASTE
**[08:45] ---**
*and once you've received waste
such as carbon dioxide,*
**[08:46] ---**
2: RECEIVE CARBON DIOXIDE!
**[08:48] ---**
*you'll have cleared your second task!*
**[08:52] ---**
*Body circulation will be complete
when you've returned to the right atrium!*
**[08:56] ---**
*Please be sure
to conduct yourself responsibly,*
**[08:58] ---**
*and see your mission through to the end!*
**[09:01] ---**
*Good luck to you!*
**[09:04] ---**
LUNG CIRCULATION AND BODY CIRCULATION
**[09:04] ---**
*Attention, blood cells!*
**[09:06] ---**
*Hello!*
**[09:06] ---**
Got that?
**[09:07] ---**
Nope.
**[09:07] ---**
*Welcome to the heart!*
**[09:09] ---**
*And here I am!*
**[09:10] ---**
*The final hurdle!*
**[09:12] ---**
*The place that mystifies me no matter
how many times I look at it! The heart!*
**[09:16] ---**
*Come on, it's this way!*
**[09:18] ---**
*Right!*
**[09:20] ---**
*I can't impose on others anymore, right?*
**[09:22] ---**
BEWARE OF SUSPICIOUS-LOOKING

TRICUSPID VALVE
**[10:59] ---**
Stop pushing!
**[10:59] ---**

*I think I'll take the edge off my appetite!*
**[13:31] ---**

I hear there's a small abrasion nearby.
**[15:16] ---**
Not again!
**[15:18] ---**
Let's see...
**[15:20] ---**
So the road's closed up ahead, huh?
**[15:31] ---**
Looks like we managed to infiltrate.
**[15:34] ---**
Yeah. And right on cue,
here comes a sucker.
**[15:42] ---**
Our target's that airhead Red Blood Cell, huh?
**[15:48] ---**
Let's lie in wait on this corner
and bash her face in together!
**[16:01] ---**
Die!
**[16:04] ---**
ROAD CLOSED
Your cooperation is appreciated
**[16:09] ---**
Um... Yeah! Going great!
**[16:12] ---**
*That was a close shave!*

Hey, did you take out those germs already?

I'm leaving the rest to you!

But just a little further, and...

I've come to deliver your oxygen!

Oh, thanks. Appreciate your coming
through such a cramped pathway.

**[16:56] ---**
Pretty tough, wasn't it?
**[16:58] ---**
Oh no! It's my job!
**[17:06] ---**
Now that was tight!
**[17:09] ---**
I did it! Finally... Finally, I...
**[17:13] ---**
I managed to circulate without getting lost!
**[17:19] ---**
I did it! I did it! Yay! Yay!
**[17:24] ---**
This is amazing!

Never mind that, that kid...
**[17:37] ---**
Is that the Red Blood Cell
you were showing the way the other day?
**[17:41] ---**
Huh? Hey, so you managed to circulate
all the way here on your own?
**[17:45] ---**
Yes! It's all thanks
to your guidance, Senpai!
**[17:48] ---**
So she finally found a way
to get her job done by herself?
**[17:51] ---**
Hopelessly inept much?
**[17:54] ---**
Hey! Don't talk like that!
**[17:57] ---**
You and I stink at certain things,
too, you know.
**[18:01] ---**
It's just that she happens to stink
at "not losing her way."
**[18:07] ---**
Even still, she's been trying to overcome
her issues in her own way.
**[18:12] ---**
Even if she had to be guided,
**[18:14] ---**
even if she kept messing up,
she never gave up.
**[18:18] ---**
Don't be such a goody-two-shoes!
What do you mean, "guidance"?
**[18:22] ---**
It's actually a no-brainer
to be able to do that!
**[18:27] ---**
I never really gave it
much thought until now,
**[18:29] ---**
but it's a tough job,
what Red Blood Cell does.

Hauling heavy luggage
all around this vast body,

Hey, Killer T,

game of cards with the other cells?
**[19:47] ---**
Pining to get ribbed for drawing
the Old Maid? "Oh, you chump!"
**[19:51] ---**
Well, you can kiss all those
shameless daydreams goodbye!
**[19:55] ---**
Hey, it's not like I had anything
that specific in mind.
**[19:58] ---**
You and I... We're assassins, got that?
**[20:04] ---**
Yeah.
**[20:05] ---**
Keep it honed until it's sharp as hell!
So you can use it at a moment's notice!
**[20:08] ---**
The knife in your heart!
**[20:11] ---**
Heart?
**[20:13] ---**
I didn't hear your answer!
**[20:14] ---**
Oh...
**[20:15] ---**
Right.
**[20:16] ---**
Jeez, you're such a handful!
**[20:28] ---**
Oh! White Blood Cell!
I have something to tell you!
**[20:31] ---**
Somehow, I just managed
to finish all my tasks!
**[20:36] ---**
Wait, how did you get that?
**[20:38] ---**
I-It's nothing, okay?
**[20:39] ---**
Killer T... No, a mugger...
**[20:42] ---**
No, um, an antigen...
**[20:44] ---**
This doesn't even hurt anymore.
**[20:47] ---**
No, forget about my wounds!
**[20:48] ---**
Anyway, did you just say
you somehow finished all your tasks?
**[20:51] ---**
Y-Yes!
**[20:53] ---**
Would you mind telling me all about it?
**[20:55] ---**
I mean, about what you guys do...
**[21:02] ---**
Oh, well, you see...
**[21:04] ---**
Just now, after I ran into you,
the first place I went to was the vena cava!
**[21:09] ---**
And since that's where all veins
end up, it was so huge!
**[21:12] ---**
Right.
**[21:13] ---**
After that, I went to the heart!
**[21:15] ---**
I got all smooshed in there,
so it was tough!
**[21:17] ---**
Like smooooosh!
**[21:19] ---**
Right, right.
**[21:19] ---**
Oh, and also, when I was in the heart,
I dropped my notes,
**[21:23] ---**
but for some reason, they came
blowing towards me from behind!
**[21:26] ---**
Right.
**[21:26] ---**
And then, I went to the lung
and the pulmonary alveoli!
**[21:29] ---**
From the outside, it was
all lumpy-bumpy and a funny shape!
**[21:33] ---**
Is that right? Wow. Lumpy-bumpy...
**[21:35] ---**
And then...
**[21:40] ---**
I made it ultra-light!
It's light as a feather, guys!
**[21:42] ---**
Really? Let me see!
**[21:44] ---**
Now migrating. Lost my way!
**[21:46] ---**
Oh, you chump!
**[21:49] ---**
Damn.
**[21:51] ---**
I'm so not envious...
**[21:53] ---**
at all!

Assassins who recognize and destroy
foreign cells, such as Graft Cells,
virus-infected cells and Cancer Cells.

All right, line up!
**[02:41] ---**
Next up, some hellish resistance training
and combat practice! You losers!
**[02:46] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[02:48] ---**
1,867... 1,868...
**[02:52] ---**

**[03:01] ---**
3,580!
**[03:04] ---**
Look dammit, I can't hear you!
**[03:07] ---**
You call yourselves T Cells,
you miserable losers?
**[03:09] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[03:14] ---**
Take that!
**[03:17] ---**
Take that!
**[03:21] ---**
Not one of you even has a spine?
**[03:23] ---**
You think you can phone it in
if you're a T Cell?
**[03:26] ---**
No, we do not, sir!
**[03:27] ---**
Loser scrubs like you
aren't fit to be T Cells!
**[03:31] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[03:31] ---**
You do know that as T Cells,
**[03:33] ---**
you're the immune system's
last line of defense?
**[03:36] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[03:38] ---**
What good is a weak last line of defense?
**[03:40] ---**
Get yourselves in shape, you morons!
**[03:42] ---**
ANTIGENS
**[03:43] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[03:44] ---**
I'm going to close the window, all right?
**[03:46] ---**
Your lifestyle choices are...
**[03:47] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[03:48] ---**
You think I'm stupid?
**[03:50] ---**
What a drag! How obnoxious is that?
**[03:54] ---**
Even in here,
we can still hear him hollering.
***SIGN*** HELPER T CELLS:
When notified of invading
external enemies,
they serve as commanders
who formulate appropriate
attack strategies,
and they issue orders
to Killer T Cells.
**[03:57] ---**
*Helper T Cells.*
**[03:59] ---**
*When notified of invading external enemies,
they serve as commanders who formulate*
**[04:03] ---**
*appropriate attack strategies,
and they issue orders to Killer T Cells.*
**[04:06] ---**
Talk about ruining tea-time,
huh, Regulatory T Cell?
**[04:11] ---**
Is that right?
**[04:13] ---**
This isn't tea-time, though. I'm working.
***SIGN*** REGULATORY T CELLS:
They prevent Killer T Cells
from spinning out of control,
and suppress excessive
immune abnormalities.
**[04:16] ---**
*Regulatory T Cells.*
**[04:18] ---**
*They prevent Killer T Cells
from spinning out of control,*
**[04:20] ---**
*and suppress excessive

**[04:25] ---**
You know, tea-time is totally—
**[04:35] ---**
Are you okay?
**[04:37] ---**
Whoops, Commander, sir.
**[04:39] ---**
Looks like I hurled him too hard.
**[04:41] ---**
Oh boy! He took out
the Helper T Commander!
**[04:48] ---**
Killer T... Boy.
**[04:51] ---**
I've been meaning to say this
for some time!
**[04:54] ---**
Look, you! Would it kill you
to play it a little cool?
**[04:57] ---**
You've never been one to think
about efficiency, have you now?
**[05:00] ---**
I've got a job to do, you know.
**[05:02] ---**
I need to make sure these guys can attack
like they should on your orders.
**[05:07] ---**
Who's gonna get jammed up
if all we have are wimpy combatants?
**[05:11] ---**
Wouldn't that be you?
**[05:13] ---**
Which is why I'm telling you
to rethink your methods!
**[05:16] ---**
Don't just send them flying like that!
**[05:18] ---**
You're as heavy-handed as ever!
**[05:20] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[05:22] ---**
The most crucial thing about drills
is to strengthen their hearts!
**[05:25] ---**
How can they learn to get tougher
if I train them softly?
**[05:28] ---**
You know what, you've never had a clue
about planning things out!
**[05:28] ---**
Are you all right? Just take it easy.
**[05:31] ---**
Wh-What's going on?
**[05:32] ---**
Yeah, and all you do is drone on and on!
"Do this, do that!"
**[05:33] ---**
Those two... Who are they to each other, exactly?
**[05:35] ---**
I'm the one who knows
what it's like on the front lines!
**[05:36] ---**
Aren't they boss and subordinate?
**[05:39] ---**
I do not drone on and on!
**[05:42] ---**
Do you want to know?
***SIGN*** DENDRITIC CELLS:
Their role is to present bacteria
that have invaded the body,
and fragments of viral infection cells
as antigens, and to notify
other immune system cells.
They're also involved in nurturing T Cells.
**[05:44] ---**
*Dendritic Cells.*

**[05:55] ---**
*They're also involved in nurturing T Cells.*
**[05:58] ---**
What did you say?
**[05:59] ---**
What's your problem?
**[06:00] ---**
T CELLS
**[06:00] ---**
See, those two...
**[06:01] ---**
What the hell?
**[06:05] ---**
No way!
**[06:06] ---**
They were classmates
back in Thymus School.
**[06:11] ---**
The guy with the glasses...
He's the Helper T Commander?
**[06:14] ---**
He's totally pumped up!
**[06:15] ---**
Killer T Senpai is so scrawny!
**[06:17] ---**
H-He's crying! Just like us!
**[06:20] ---**
My job happens to involve using my brain!
**[06:20] ---**
He's getting his butt kicked!
He's nothing like he is today!
**[06:22] ---**
I envy you for having the mindless job
of just drilling them!
**[06:25] ---**
Looks that way, doesn't it?
**[06:27] ---**
But years ago, those two...
**[06:28] ---**
What did you say?
**[06:31] ---**
*- Welcome to Hell, you useless runts!
- We're the apprentice T Cells!*
***SIGN*** THYMUS:
The lymphoid organ
that categorizes
and fosters precursor cells
into full-fledged T Cells.
**[06:35] ---**
Listen up!
**[06:36] ---**
*There's nothing in this world that we fear!*
**[06:37] ---**
This thymus is where we're gonna separate
the useful from the useless!
**[06:39] ---**
*We're the apprentice T Cells!*
**[06:42] ---**
*And we're gonna kill any virus or germ!*
**[06:47] ---**
*We're the apprentice T Cells!*
**[06:49] ---**
EPITHELIUM
**[06:50] ---**
*There's nothing in this world that we fear!*
**[06:53] ---**
*We're the apprentice T Cells!*
**[06:57] ---**
*And we're gonna kill any virus or germ!*
**[07:01] ---**
You numskulls,
**[07:02] ---**
starting today, I'm gonna train you
really hard, so brace yourselves!
***SIGN*** THYMIC EPITHELIAL CELL:
The Epithelial Cells that form the thymus.
They nurture Lymphatic Cells,
aiding in T Cell categorization.
**[07:07] ---**
*Thymic Epithelial Cell.*
**[07:09] ---**
*The Epithelial Cells that form the thymus.*
**[07:11] ---**
*They nurture Lymphatic Cells,
aiding in T Cell categorization.*
**[07:16] ---**
Ya hear me?
**[07:18] ---**
Yes!
**[07:22] ---**
Now let's get started!
**[07:23] ---**
You guys will be taking a test now!
**[07:26] ---**
A test to see if you can react
to an external enemy antigen, got that?
**[07:30] ---**
CELL
**[07:30] ---**
You will see human-type panels
appear out of the blue!
**[07:34] ---**
Judge for yourselves which ones
you think are antigens, and attack!
**[07:39] ---**
Those who mistakenly assault common cells,
**[07:41] ---**
those who fail to attack a single antigen
before they reach the goal,
**[07:45] ---**
will be disqualified on the spot!
**[07:46] ---**
Got that?
**[07:48] ---**
Yes!
**[07:49] ---**
Only two to three percent
will still be standing at the end!
**[07:54] ---**
So go for broke!
**[07:56] ---**
Yes!
**[08:11] ---**
*I-Is that...*
**[08:13] ---**
*C-Could it be an antigen panel?*
**[08:16] ---**
*All right!*
**[08:22] ---**
Good job! Okay!
**[08:25] ---**
Wh-Whoa!
**[08:27] ---**
Can you believe this guy?
**[08:28] ---**
He split the panel into two!
**[08:30] ---**
H-Hey! I went after that panel first!
**[08:34] ---**
And how could you stomp on my head?
**[08:38] ---**
Oh, sorry about that.
**[08:40] ---**
That was me using you as a springboard.
**[08:42] ---**
Because that was the shortest route
to the panel.
**[08:45] ---**
But you've got to have better reaction time,
**[08:47] ---**
or it's gonna be hard
to become a great T Cell, you know.
**[08:51] ---**
Why, you...
**[08:53] ---**
Ouch!
**[08:56] ---**
Would you mind not making me expend
unnecessary energy?
**[09:02] ---**
D-Did it really hurt that much,
that poke to the forehead?
**[09:06] ---**
Just leave him! Getting involved
with that one would be wasted effort!
**[09:10] ---**
Hey you! Stop sniveling and start running!
**[09:13] ---**
Such a glaring talent gap
in this crop of candidates...
**[09:26] ---**
Who would've thought
we'd end up rooming together?
**[09:29] ---**
So the room assignments
aren't based on merit.
**[09:32] ---**
Wh-What's that supposed to mean?
**[09:35] ---**
Don't make me spell everything out for you.
**[09:38] ---**
As for the bunk bed,
I'm taking the bottom bunk.
**[09:41] ---**
You're letting me have the top one?
**[09:43] ---**
Because it's a waste of time
to climb up and down.
**[09:45] ---**
But in return, make sure
you keep your climbing to the minimum.
**[09:49] ---**
Otherwise, I won't be able
to get a full night's rest.
**[09:52] ---**
I mean, you might as well sleep on the floor.
**[09:55] ---**
Wh-What did you say? Hey you!
Is that any way to treat someone?
**[10:00] ---**
What's your problem?
**[10:01] ---**
Is force the only thing you understand?
**[10:04] ---**
You two sure have a lot of time
on your hands.
**[10:06] ---**
What do you want?
**[10:09] ---**
Nothing.
**[10:10] ---**
I just happened to be walking by.
**[10:12] ---**
I thought you were deliberately creating
a problem because you wanted to drop out.
**[10:16] ---**
Well, you're wrong!
Why would I want to do that?
**[10:19] ---**
Is that right?
**[10:20] ---**
Oh, by the way...
**[10:22] ---**
Seems like the two in the bed
across from you flunked out after today.
**[10:27] ---**
I'd better get my game on, too.
**[10:29] ---**
See you!
**[10:34] ---**
*The hellish training sessions
continued after that day.*
**[10:48] ---**
*Somehow, they managed to get through it*
**[10:50] ---**
*and avoided flunking out.*
**[11:00] ---**
Hey you over there! Quit that
loud bellyaching! Drop out right now!
**[11:04] ---**
N-No, I won't, sir!
**[11:08] ---**
Hey, don't be so stubborn.
It's gonna end the same anyway!
**[11:12] ---**
You're not cut out to be T Cell.
**[11:15] ---**
Only the top achievers in this class
can hope to survive. Right?
**[11:22] ---**
That's right.
**[11:24] ---**
Everyone who's finished,
head back to the dorm!
**[11:27] ---**
That was exhausting!
**[11:28] ---**
My body is aching!
**[11:33] ---**
Dammit!
**[11:34] ---**
I'm laying my life on the line here,
and you're always sipping tea!
**[11:39] ---**
Shut up, will you?
**[11:40] ---**
You want another poke to the forehead?
**[11:53] ---**
All right. Let's do this.
**[12:02] ---**
*I think I'll call it a night.*
**[12:13] ---**
*Wh-What the heck is he doing?*
**[12:23] ---**
Killer T punch! 42 in a row!
**[12:26] ---**
Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!
Punch, punch, punch! Jab, jabbity, jab!
**[12:31] ---**
*He's got to be wiped out after today's drills.*
**[12:41] ---**
Epic Immune Cytolysis Fist!
**[12:43] ---**
Ultimate Internal Secret Art!
**[12:45] ---**
Antigen-bludgeoning Pulverizing Fist!
**[12:49] ---**
*Jeez, what does he mean,
Secret Art? Moron...*
**[12:53] ---**
*Oh whatever.*
**[12:54] ---**
*It has nothing to do with me.*
**[13:12] ---**
Now that's what you call youth!
**[13:16] ---**
You're interested in those two, as well?
**[13:19] ---**
No. Not really.
**[13:23] ---**
Now if the fists started flying,
it'd make it even more like a teen movie.
**[13:27] ---**
Is that right?
**[13:30] ---**
I hope those two end up
surviving, don't you?
**[13:40] ---**
*We're apprentice T Cells!*
**[13:41] ---**
Cells...
**[13:42] ---**
...at Work!
**[13:46] ---**
Cells at Work!
**[13:51] ---**
*We're apprentice T Cells!*
**[13:54] ---**
*There's nothing in this world that we fear!*
**[13:57] ---**
*We're apprentice T Cells!*
**[14:01] ---**
*And we're gonna kill...*
**[14:03] ---**
Today, there's gonna be
a special surprise test!
**[14:08] ---**
Don't flinch like that, you idiots!
**[14:11] ---**
There's no advance warning
when an external enemy shows up!
**[14:14] ---**
Those of you who lack sufficient training
**[14:17] ---**
will be saying goodbye today!
**[14:22] ---**
You guys will be taking a test
called "Positive Selection"!
**[14:27] ---**
The rules are the same as always!
***SIGN*** POSITIVE SELECTION/NEGATIVE SELECTION:
Positive Selection (selecting useful T Cells for survival)
and Negative Selection (eliminating harmful,
self-destructive T Cells) occur in the thymus.
Through this process, the Lymphocytes
that can precisely distinguish between
self and non-self proteins, such as pathogens
are selected. Ultimately, only a few percent
of these cells can become T Cells.
**[14:29] ---**
All you need to do is assault
the antigen panels until time's up!
**[14:33] ---**
But almost all of you will be weeded out today!
**[14:41] ---**
Don't worry!
**[14:43] ---**
You just need to carry on as usual!
**[14:47] ---**
*Get going!*
**[14:49] ---**
I just need to carry on as usual, right?
**[14:52] ---**
All right!
**[14:54] ---**
That head...
**[14:56] ---**
Target sighted! All right!
**[15:00] ---**
This means I've passed!
**[15:03] ---**
Wh-What's this?
**[15:05] ---**
You're out!
**[15:07] ---**
That's a panel of a common cell
holding a pickling stone!
**[15:11] ---**
This isn't the same as usual!
**[15:21] ---**
I thought it was a virus,
but it was just a fancy hat!
**[15:25] ---**
*You're out!*
**[15:38] ---**
That's impressive! You pass!
**[15:41] ---**
*I see.*
**[15:43] ---**
*So, it looks like this test
is more difficult than usual.*
**[15:48] ---**
*No, this is a common cell
wearing a disaster hood!*
**[15:52] ---**
It's this one!
**[16:00] ---**
So, now, it's my turn, huh?
**[16:04] ---**
Whenever you attack, you have a habit
of unconsciously closing your eyes.
**[16:08] ---**
So, no wonder you can't land a punch.
**[16:10] ---**
When you're attacking your target,
keep your eyes on it until the end!
**[16:19] ---**
Th-That guy...
**[16:22] ---**
*Next!*
**[16:23] ---**
R-Right!
**[16:29] ---**
*I-I'm so nervous,
I'm starting to feel sick!*
**[16:34] ---**
That's it!
**[16:36] ---**
*Whenever you attack, you have a habit
of unconsciously closing your eyes.*
**[16:39] ---**
*Keep your eyes on it!*
**[16:42] ---**
Th-That was close!
**[16:44] ---**
This is a common cell
holding a pincushion!
**[16:47] ---**
A sewing kit?
**[16:49] ---**
So you didn't fall for it!
**[16:51] ---**
N-No!
**[16:56] ---**
Jeez, he makes me nervous.
**[16:59] ---**
There isn't much time left!
Stay alert until the end!
**[17:06] ---**
Behind you! Behind you!
**[17:08] ---**
What?
**[17:11] ---**
To your right! To your right!
**[17:12] ---**
Wh-Which way is right again?
**[17:14] ---**
Dummy! Don't be nervous!
That way! To your left!
**[17:17] ---**
- No, right!
- No, left!
**[17:18] ---**
- No, right!
- Behind you!
**[17:19] ---**
- No, right!
- Behind me... Which way is it?
**[17:23] ---**
- Right!
- Left!
**[17:24] ---**
- Behind you!
- Right!
**[17:25] ---**
- Left!

**[17:38] ---**
How come you know about that?
**[17:41] ---**
You pass!
**[17:43] ---**
Congratulations!
**[18:04] ---**
You should be glad.
**[18:06] ---**
That you passed and all.
**[18:11] ---**
That was dumb luck.
**[18:13] ---**
To be honest, I have no confidence
**[18:15] ---**
in being able to carry on as a T Cell.
**[18:26] ---**
Lucky you.
**[18:28] ---**
They told you
**[18:30] ---**
you could be a Helper or a Regulatory T Cell,
not just a Killer T Cell, right?
**[18:35] ---**
If you're gonna be like that,
**[18:37] ---**
it's not too late to tell them
you're gonna drop out.
**[18:40] ---**
You have no confidence, right?
**[18:42] ---**
Then, why don't you quit?
**[18:45] ---**
Wh-What did you say?
**[18:47] ---**
Just for the record,
**[18:48] ---**
people won't humor you when you have
these stupid maudlin moments,
**[18:52] ---**
but this world...
**[18:53] ---**
No, the working world
isn't such an easy place!
**[18:57] ---**
Did you say "stupid"?
**[19:00] ---**
A genius like you...
**[19:05] ---**
doesn't know jack about how I feel!
**[19:07] ---**
You idiot!
**[19:18] ---**
If you've looked your own weakness
in the eye,
**[19:20] ---**
then, deal with reality for once!
**[19:23] ---**
Open your eyes, will you?
**[19:25] ---**
You have no choice
but to keep giving it your all!
**[19:28] ---**
Even if your efforts seem wasted,
**[19:30] ---**
your redeeming quality is how you keep
grinding away on your own, isn't it?
**[19:37] ---**
Y-You...
**[19:49] ---**
Gotcha. You won't hear me whine again!
**[19:52] ---**
Good.
**[19:54] ---**
I'm gonna get stronger.
**[19:56] ---**
I'm gonna train until I can take out
any enemy with one blow!
**[20:00] ---**
I'm gonna build up my muscles
like there's no tomorrow, and give it my all!
**[20:05] ---**
Right. Now I know what it is
that I should strive for myself.
**[20:11] ---**
I can see that inefficient bumblers like you
need someone to issue them orders.
**[20:18] ---**
If you're gonna become a commander,
you need to loosen up a little,
**[20:22] ---**
or your subordinates will freak out.
**[20:26] ---**
You don't have to tell me.
I'm well aware of that!
**[20:30] ---**
I just need to loosen up, right?
Even I can do that.
**[20:33] ---**
Just watch!
**[20:39] ---**
Those two morons...
**[20:50] ---**
So, you see, that's what happened.
**[20:54] ---**
Dammit!
**[20:55] ---**
We're laying our lives on the line here,
and you're always sipping tea!
**[20:58] ---**
Well, that's because deskwork is so grueling!
**[21:02] ---**
Do you have to nag like that?
Wanna trade places?
**[21:06] ---**
So that's how those two
came to be like that?
**[21:10] ---**
What have you guys been looking at anyway?
**[21:17] ---**
Hey!
**[21:18] ---**
What photos are those?
**[21:29] ---**
Give 'em back! Those photos!
Burn 'em up this second!
**[21:33] ---**
Hey, what do you think you're doing?
This is important data!
**[21:37] ---**
We're asking you anyway!
Just burn those photos up please!
**[21:44] ---**
MIGRATION IN PROGRESS
**[21:46] ---**
I'm sorry!
**[21:48] ---**
*Seriously, those two are so ridiculous.*

*They're just the same
as they were back then.*

using blood circulation.
**[01:07] ---**
I've come to deliver your oxygen!
**[01:12] ---**
Thanks for all your hard work.
**[01:15] ---**
Appreciate your coming

Senpai!
**[02:24] ---**
Looks like you've done some growing up!
**[02:28] ---**
Yes!
**[02:29] ---**
You have a smug look on your face,

but that's what's expected of you, okay?
**[02:34] ---**
Right.

Are you sure you'll be okay on your own?
**[02:43] ---**
Stay away from danger
and just make a run for it, all right?
**[02:46] ---**
I'll be fine!
**[02:48] ---**
I've never heard of a blood cell
who only seems to run into trouble.

STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS
**[04:26] ---**
"Staphylococcus Aureus"!
**[04:30] ---**
H-Help me!
**[04:33] ---**
TOWN OF STEAM 1
**[04:33] ---**
Somebody!
**[04:35] ---**
FRAGILE
CONDENSED GAS
**[04:37] ---**
Slash, slash, slash!
**[04:42] ---**
Slash!
**[04:44] ---**
Somebody help us!
**[04:47] ---**
Hand over that oxygen, baby!
**[04:56] ---**
Our friends are being chased by a germ!
**[04:58] ---**
W-We've got to help them!
**[05:00] ---**
There's nothing we can do!
I mean, we're Red Blood Cells.
**[05:05] ---**
Hand it over already!
**[05:14] ---**
*Did I just manage to dodge that?*
**[05:17] ---**
Maybe I have a chance of getting away!
**[05:21] ---**
No! It's a dead-end!
**[05:28] ---**
If only you'd handed over
that oxygen like a good girl,
**[05:32] ---**
you wouldn't have gotten yourself killed!
**[05:35] ---**
What a moron!
**[05:37] ---**
You can shed your tears in the next world!
**[05:52] ---**
Wh-Who's that?
**[05:57] ---**
Ouch, ouch.
**[05:58] ---**
Wh-Who the hell are you?
**[06:23] ---**
I'm finished!
**[06:28] ---**
Th-Thank you very much!
**[06:37] ---**
Good?
**[06:47] ---**
Target...
***SIGN*** WHITE BLOOD CELLS
(NEUTROPHILS):
Their main task is to eliminate
foreign substances from outside,
such as bacteria and viruses.
Neutrophils comprise over half
of the White Blood Cells in the blood.
**[06:51] ---**
...sighted!
**[06:55] ---**
Huh?
**[06:57] ---**
Red Blood Cell?
**[06:58] ---**
Somebody already exterminated
the antigen?
**[07:03] ---**
Y-Yes.
**[07:05] ---**
The person in the mask over there
took him out for me.
**[07:08] ---**
What's the name of that cell?
**[07:11] ---**
Oh, it's "Monocyte."
**[07:14] ---**
"Monocyte"?
**[07:15] ---**
Yeah. Another Immune Cell
assigned to this blood vessel.
**[07:19] ---**
We sometimes work together.
***SIGN*** MONOCYTES:
Mononuclear, migratory cells
which comprise seven percent
of all White Blood Cells.
Like other Immune Cells,
they take part in biological defense.
**[07:22] ---**
*Monocytes.*
**[07:23] ---**
*Mononuclear, migratory cells which comprise
seven percent of all White Blood Cells.*
**[07:29] ---**
*Like other Immune Cells,
they take part in biological defense.*
***SIGN*** PHAGOCYTOSIS:
When Phagocytes such as Monocytes,
Macrophages or White Blood Cells
(Neutrophils) consume and break down
foreign substances or bacteria.
**[07:33] ---**
There aren't that many in the blood vessel,
**[07:36] ---**
but Monocyte's awesome
at phagocytosis and migration,
**[07:39] ---**
so you're always in good hands with him!
**[07:43] ---**
H-He's practicing his golf swing.
**[07:52] ---**
So there are all kinds
of migratory routes, huh?
***SIGN*** MIGRATION:
To move freely
through the system.
**[07:58] ---**
Well, see ya!
Keep up the good work, all right?
**[08:01] ---**
Right!
**[08:03] ---**
WELCOME
**[08:03] ---**
NASAL CAVITY HOT SPRINGS
**[08:03] ---**
Thank you for your hard work.
Please stop by for a short break...
***SIGN*** THE NASAL CAVITY:
An organ located at the entrance
to the respiratory system.
To prevent damage to the delicate
pulmonary alveoli walls,
it warms and humidifies
the air that enters the body.
**[08:07] ---**
Welcome!
**[08:09] ---**
If you're heading to the pulmonary alveoli,
please feel free to stop by!
**[08:12] ---**
Welcome! Welcome!
**[08:14] ---**
If you're heading...

W-Was he asleep?
**[09:02] ---**
STEAMED BUNS
**[09:03] ---**
It's really yummy, huh?
**[09:04] ---**
Yeah!
**[09:06] ---**
Platelet! So, we meet again!
**[09:09] ---**
Big Sister Red Blood Cell!
**[09:12] ---**
What's that you're eating? Looks delish!
**[09:15] ---**
Please have one yourself.
It's chock-full of glucose!
***SIGN*** RED BLOOD CELLS ARE FOND OF SUGAR:
Unlike White Blood Cells
and other common cells,
Red Blood Cells have
no mitochondria,
so glucose is their
only energy source.
**[09:19] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[09:21] ---**
Thanks for the food!
**[09:25] ---**
Om nom nom!
**[09:43] ---**
So yummy! I'm gonna go back
for another steamed bun for sure!
**[09:48] ---**
What?
**[10:17] ---**
Good afternoon, all you lovely cells!
**[10:20] ---**
We're Staphylococcus Aureus!
***SIGN*** STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS:
An antigen residing in the skin and pores.
It's highly toxic, and if it invades the body
through an abrasion, it can cause
skin infections, food poisoning,
pneumonia, meningitis, sepsis and the like.
**[10:24] ---**
*Staphylococcus Aureus.*
**[10:26] ---**

**[10:47] ---**
I know it's sudden,
**[10:48] ---**
but I'm going to conquer this nasal cavity now.
**[10:52] ---**
Go now!
**[10:53] ---**
Roger!
**[10:55] ---**
That oxygen and those nutrients...
They all belong to us!
**[11:04] ---**
This time for sure, target sighted!
**[11:12] ---**
I'll kill you! I'll kill you!
**[11:14] ---**
Evacuate, Red Blood Cell!
**[11:16] ---**
Okay!
**[11:19] ---**
Th-Thank goodness!
**[11:21] ---**
The White Blood Cells are here!
**[11:24] ---**
Die, germ!
**[11:30] ---**
Die!
**[11:32] ---**
Come back here!
**[11:36] ---**
It's over now!
**[11:48] ---**
You guys, don't forget
your coagulation factor!
**[11:52] ---**
Okay!
**[11:55] ---**
Check it out!
They're the only ones left standing!
**[11:58] ---**
We can take them out right now!
**[12:00] ---**
Another new strain
of Staphylococcus Aureus, huh?
**[12:03] ---**
It'll always be the same
every time you come!
**[12:05] ---**
Just like that day!
**[12:07] ---**
*Not bad, wouldn't you say?*
**[12:08] ---**
*Now wipe them out!*
**[12:14] ---**
*Turns out you were the one
with the flaky friends.*
**[12:21] ---**
*Too late for that now!*
**[12:25] ---**
We're going to bring you down
no matter what!
**[12:27] ---**
And you and your friends
are all gonna get wiped out!
**[12:33] ---**
Well, are you sure about that?
**[12:36] ---**
Let's go then, everybody!
**[12:38] ---**
Okay!
**[12:56] ---**
Wh-What the...
**[12:57] ---**
Th-They're like a bunch of grapes!
***SIGN*** HOW THE STAPHYLOCOCCUS
GOT ITS NAME:
Multiple Staphylococci
form a grape-like cluster,
hence the name
"Staphylococcus,"
meaning "grape-like."
**[13:00] ---**
*How the Staphylococcus got its name.*
**[13:03] ---**
*Multiple Staphylococci

**[13:11] ---**
Staphylococcus Aureus...
**[13:14] ---**
fuse!
**[13:31] ---**
Wh-Whoa!
**[13:32] ---**
Wh-What the...
**[13:35] ---**
You see, today,
**[13:38] ---**
I'm not like before!
**[13:48] ---**
Cells...
**[13:50] ---**
...at Work!
**[13:53] ---**
Cells at Work!
**[14:02] ---**
I-It's huge!
**[14:13] ---**
See, what did I tell you?
I'm different today!
**[14:18] ---**
Huh? Different?
**[14:20] ---**
Then, why don't I devour you?
**[14:23] ---**
I'll kill you!
**[14:24] ---**
Oh, that's not happening!
**[14:38] ---**
She deflected us?
**[14:40] ---**
A net from the underground...
**[14:42] ---**
No,
**[14:43] ---**
that's...
**[14:45] ---**
Look familiar?
**[14:48] ---**
That's right! Fibrin!
***SIGN*** FIBRIN:
A protein involved
in clotting the blood.
Has a mesh-like
or rice cake-like quality.
**[14:51] ---**
*Fibrin.*
**[14:52] ---**
*A protein involved in clotting the blood.*
**[14:55] ---**
*Has a mesh-like or rice cake-like quality.*
**[14:59] ---**
I-Is that...
**[15:01] ---**
*Heave-ho! Heave-ho!*
**[15:03] ---**
*Attach the fibrin
to the coagulation factors like this.*
**[15:08] ---**
*Right!*
**[15:12] ---**
*Heave-ho!*
**[15:16] ---**
Is that the thing you Platelets created
to close up the wound?
**[15:20] ---**
Yes, that's right.
**[15:23] ---**
What's she doing with that fibrin?
**[15:26] ---**
I get it now!
**[15:27] ---**
Take that!
**[15:29] ---**
Oh crap!
**[15:38] ---**
Wh-What's going on?
**[15:42] ---**
Shall I enlighten you?
**[15:46] ---**
You see...
**[15:48] ---**
I've heard about this before!
**[15:49] ---**
It's one of the tactics
of Staphylococcus Aureus!
**[15:52] ---**
By wrapping herself up in fibrin,
she can block our attacks!
**[15:56] ---**
The name of that move is... Wait...
**[15:58] ---**
Something like...
**[16:00] ---**
Coag...
**[16:01] ---**
Hey, don't steal my thunder!
**[16:05] ---**
That's right. "Coagulase"!
**[16:08] ---**
Right now, both my defensive
and offensive powers are off the charts!
**[16:11] ---**
I'm invincible!
**[16:13] ---**
Understand?
***SIGN*** COAGULASE:
An enzyme that brings about
the coagulation of blood
by precipitating fibrin.
The bacteria that produce this
use fibrin as a barrier
to evade White Blood Cell attacks.
(Phagocytosis)
**[16:15] ---**
*Coagulase.*
**[16:16] ---**
*An enzyme that brings about the coagulation
of blood by precipitating fibrin.*
**[16:21] ---**
*The bacteria that produce this*
**[16:23] ---**
*use fibrin as a barrier
to evade White Blood Cell attacks.*
**[16:29] ---**
Meaning that none of your
lowly attacks can touch me.
**[16:34] ---**
And thanks to my attack power,
**[16:37] ---**
you're all finished!
**[16:44] ---**
What happened to White Blood Cell
and the others?
**[16:54] ---**
My, how delicious this feels!
**[16:56] ---**
Looks like both your hands
and feet are tied.
**[16:59] ---**
Oh wait... Your feet are intact at least!
**[17:04] ---**
No way! White Blood Cell! Please get up!
**[17:07] ---**
Or you're going to end up dead!
**[17:10] ---**
Big Sister, be careful!
**[17:11] ---**
You're gonna fall
outside the blood vessel!
**[17:16] ---**
At last, I can get my revenge on you,
you nasty Neutrophil!
**[17:20] ---**
This one's for our younger cousin
**[17:23] ---**
who invaded this body before
and got herself killed.
**[17:29] [SONG] ---**
YOUNGER COUSIN
**[17:32] ---**
Now then, if I can just
**[17:35] ---**
tear them limb to limb!
**[17:52] ---**
Wh-Who are you guys?
**[17:55] ---**
Th-That person...
**[17:56] ---**
It's the Monocytes!
**[17:58] ---**
They came to save us!
**[18:07] ---**
Oh my, that's the outside
of the blood vessel right there!
**[18:11] ---**
Everybody,
***SIGN*** OUTSIDE THE BLOOD VESSEL
***SIGN*** INSIDE THE BLOOD VESSEL
**[18:12] ---**
we're going to change costumes now!
**[18:15] ---**
Okay!
**[18:17] ---**
Th-Th-That voice...
***SIGN*** MACROPHAGES
AND MONOCYTES:
Monocytes are produced
in the bone marrow,
and reside in the bloodstream,
but when they circulate
outside the blood vessel,
they become Macrophages.
**[18:30] ---**
*Macrophages and Monocytes.*

*but when they circulate outside
the blood vessel, they become Macrophages.*
**[18:45] ---**
I don't know what kind of cells you are,
**[18:48] ---**
but don't you dare get in my way!
**[18:53] ---**
Here.
**[18:56] ---**
Us, too.
**[18:57] ---**
Take that.
**[19:00] ---**
Ouch!
**[19:02] ---**
Who knew you were actually strong?
**[19:04] ---**
N-No way! Cells wielding blunt objects...
**[19:07] ---**
Not to mention strong!
**[19:09] ---**
Wait, don't tell me they're...
**[19:12] ---**
Macrophages!
***SIGN*** MACROPHAGE:
A type of White Blood Cell.
Captures and kills foreign substances
such as bacteria, and finds antigens
and immunity information.
Also acts as a cleaner,
tidying up dead cells and bacteria.
**[19:15] ---**
*Macrophage.*

**[19:29] ---**
But Macrophages are crazy strong!
**[19:32] ---**
No thanks, I'm outta here!
**[19:34] ---**
We don't stand a chance against them!
**[19:37] ---**
Impossible, impossible, impossible!
**[19:39] ---**
Hey! This is no time to bail!
**[19:41] ---**
Oh my!
**[19:43] ---**
A falling-out with your friends?
**[19:45] ---**
What are we going to do with you?
**[19:47] ---**
You're on the same side.
Can't you get along?
**[19:49] ---**
Don't you dare mock me!
**[19:52] ---**
Damn you!
**[19:54] ---**
Now then, everybody!
**[19:56] ---**
We're going to bulldoze right through them!
**[19:59] ---**
With pleasure!
**[20:07] ---**
Allow me to apply
the finishing touch, will you?
**[20:18] ---**
So powerful!
**[20:19] ---**
So awesome!
**[20:23] ---**
Now then!
**[20:24] ---**
We're done cleaning!
**[20:26] ---**
That was refreshing!
**[20:28] ---**
Looks like we just got burned
to a crisp today.
**[20:31] ---**
Just one of those days...
**[20:35] ---**
Really, we sure owe you one, Macrophage.
**[20:39] ---**
Who knows how it would've ended up
if it was just us?
**[20:42] ---**
Oh my, but it's all because you held them off.
**[20:47] ---**
We just arrived late to the party!
**[20:51] ---**
I'm thrilled to have been of use!
**[20:54] ---**
Just kidding!
**[20:55] ---**
Oh please.
**[20:56] ---**
That's our signal when we're Monocytes!
**[20:59] ---**
No way.
**[21:06] ---**
Right, it is the signal we use
when we're Monocytes.
**[21:09] ---**
U-Um...
**[21:11] ---**
M-Macrophage... and Monocyte...
You're one and the same?
**[21:16] ---**
Wait, but how'd you get inside that...
**[21:19] ---**
No, wait, all that muscular strength...
**[21:25] ---**
All maidens have a secret or two, you know!
**[21:30] ---**
*Sometimes gentle,*
**[21:32] ---**
*sometimes violent.*
**[21:34] ---**
*She's a childcare worker,*

"Heat Stroke"!
**[03:14] ---**
SWEAT GLANDS
**[03:17] ---**
S-Senpai!
**[03:21] ---**
Is this really
what the epidermis area looks like?
***SIGN*** RED BLOOD CELLS:
They carry oxygen
and carbon dioxide
using blood circulation.
**[03:25] ---**
It's nothing like the pamphlet.
**[03:27] ---**
It's dried up because of this heat.
**[03:30] ---**
There used to be waterways
and stuff before.
**[03:33] ---**
That's why we're walking
through the capillaries to release heat.
***SIGN*** THERMOLYSIS:
Dissipating heat by sending
large amounts of blood to the skin.
One of the body's ways
of regulating body temperature.
**[03:39] ---**
*Thermolysis.*
**[03:40] ---**
*Dissipating heat by sending

**[03:43] ---**
*One of the body's ways

**[03:47] ---**
It's so hot!
**[03:49] ---**
Don't worry! Once hidrosis starts,
it gets really cool!
**[03:52] ---**
See, the sweat glands are about to—
**[03:56] ---**
Excuse me!
**[04:01] ---**
Damn you, you're such a pain in the neck!
**[04:12] ---**
This is U-1146.
***SIGN*** WHITE BLOOD CELLS
(NEUTROPHILS):
Their main task is to
eliminate foreign
substances from outside,
such as bacteria
and viruses.
**[04:14] ---**
I'm done exterminating
the last of the germs.
**[04:16] ---**
*Copy that!*
**[04:17] ---**
Whoa! It's a White Blood Cell.
**[04:19] ---**
Running around in this scorching heat...
He sure has energy!
**[04:25] ---**
Th-Thank you for your hard work,
White Blood Cell!
***SIGN*** PHAGOCYTOSIS:
When Phagocytes such as Monocytes,
Macrophages and Neutrophils absorb
bacteria and other foreign substances,
and break them down.
**[04:32] ---**
*Wait! He's dissolving it!*
**[04:34] ---**
Hey... Yo, Red Blood Cell...
**[04:41] ---**
Is something wrong?
**[04:43] ---**
No, it's nothing.
**[04:50] ---**
That outfit of yours
sure looks hot, White Blood Cell!
**[04:54] ---**
Can't do my job as a first responder
if I dress down.
***SIGN*** SWEAT GLANDS AND SWEAT:
Sweat-secreting glands present in the skin.
There are two types, apocrine glands and eccrine glands.
Heat is removed by evaporation
when you sweat (heat of evaporation).
They play a crucial role in adjusting body heat.
**[04:58] ---**

BUCKWHEAT TEA
**[05:27] ---**
Hey, they said hidrosis is about to start!
**[05:30] ---**
Thank goodness! Now it'll get cooler!
**[05:32] ---**
Actually, something strange is going on.
**[05:34] ---**
Normally, sweat atomizes,
**[05:36] ---**
and the heat of evaporation
cools down the epidermis, but...
**[05:40] ---**
But it's still in fluid form.
**[05:49] ---**
Hey, what's the deal?
**[05:51] ---**
Give us a break, will you? It's so hot!
**[05:54] ---**
It's no good!
**[05:55] ---**
Hidrosis was successfully initiated,
but didn't lead to epidermal cooling!
**[05:59] ---**
The sweat's not atomizing? Meaning
the temperature outside the body's too high?
**[06:07] ---**
N-No good!
**[06:09] ---**
The body temperature's spiking!
**[06:15] ---**
This heat is unbearable!
**[06:17] ---**
What the heck is going on?
**[06:19] ---**
You said it was to promote hidrosis
to make it cooler!
**[06:21] ---**
That's why we've been walking
in this sweltering heat!
**[06:24] ---**
- That's right, that's right!
- We wanna talk to whoever's in charge!
**[06:26] ---**
It's hot, dammit!
**[06:27] ---**
For now, we need to release
the heat from the epidermis!
**[06:31] ---**
Wh-What's this?
**[06:34] ---**
You guys, please try to keep walking
to release the heat!
**[06:37] ---**
Let's do all we can
to regulate the body temp!
**[06:40] ---**
That's about all that we can do
as blood cells, huh?
**[06:45] ---**
White Blood Cell, what's going on?
**[06:47] ---**
Increased vascular flow.
**[06:49] ---**
At a glance,
**[06:50] ---**
it just seems like part
of the thermoregulation system!
**[06:53] ---**
Abnormal increased vascular flow!
**[06:56] ---**
Abortive attempt to cool
the epidermis with sweat!
**[06:58] ---**
And a soaring temperature!
**[07:04] ---**
This must be...
**[07:05] ---**
No way!
**[07:07] ---**
What?
**[07:08] ---**
No way, there's light!
***SIGN*** VERTIGO:
You feel dizzy, or your
surroundings start to look fuzzy.
Such symptoms appear
when your sense of equilibrium
has been compromised.
**[07:11] ---**
*Vertigo.*
**[07:12] ---**
*You feel dizzy, or your surroundings
start to look fuzzy.*
**[07:17] ---**
*Such symptoms appear when your sense

**[07:23] ---**
Wh-What the...
It's totally dark in here!
**[07:26] ---**
The world's ending!
**[07:28] ---**
What is this? What's going on?
**[07:33] ---**
The ground is tilting!
**[07:34] ---**
Not good! Hang onto something!
***SIGN*** DIZZINESS:
The blood drains from your head,
and everything looks dark, or else white.
You also experience vertigo.
You do remain conscious.
**[07:37] ---**
*Dizziness.*
**[07:39] ---**

**[07:41] ---**
*and everything looks dark, or else white.*
**[07:44] ---**
*You also experience vertigo.*
**[07:46] ---**
*You do remain conscious.*
***SIGN*** FAINTING:
When the blood replenish to your brain
either temporarily decreases,
or is interrupted. This also involves
losing consciousness for anywhere
from several seconds to several minutes.
**[07:54] ---**
*Fainting.*
**[07:55] ---**
*When the blood replenish to your brain

**[08:04] ---**
B-Bad news!
**[08:06] ---**
It's heat stroke!
**[08:07] ---**
*Heat stroke.*
***SIGN*** HEAT STROKE:
The generic term for ill health
caused when thermoregulation
is disrupted, or by an imbalance
of fluids and salt.
**[08:09] ---**
*The generic term for ill health*
**[08:12] ---**
*caused when thermoregulation
is disrupted,*
**[08:17] ---**
*or by an imbalance of fluids and salt.*
**[08:19] ---**
*There are three degrees of severity
from 1 to 3.*
***SIGN*** Type 1 heat stroke is the initial symptom,
causing vertigo, dizziness, tingly lips
and fainting. In the past, it was known
as "heat syncope" or "heat cramps."
The blood vessels of the skin expand
due to heat and high temperature,
and when blood pressure drops,
the flow of blood to the brain decreases,
leading to heat cramps.

Ouch!
**[08:51] ---**
Weak! Seriously weak!
**[08:54] ---**
To fall to pieces
over a little fever like this...
**[08:59] ---**
It's wasted on you guys!
**[09:01] ---**
I'll gladly take this world off your hands!
***SIGN*** BACILLUS CEREUS:
Widely distributed in natural environments
such as dirt or water. A type of soil bacteria.
Known to trigger two types of food poisoning,
involving either diarrhea or vomiting.
**[09:05] ---**
*Bacillus cereus.*

**[09:23] ---**
Are you White Blood Cell?
**[09:26] ---**
Yeah, that's right.
**[09:27] ---**
I wouldn't try to loot this place
if I were you!
**[09:30] ---**
Upon my honor as a bacillus cereus,
**[09:32] ---**
I swear I'm going to seize
this world from you!
**[09:35] ---**
Now then! Let's fight!
**[09:37] ---**
Red Blood Cell!
**[09:38] ---**
Look after the Platelets!
**[09:40] ---**
O-Okay!
**[09:42] ---**
Just kidding!
**[09:44] ---**
What?
**[09:47] ---**
So you thought I was going to fight you?
**[09:51] ---**
I got you! I got you!
**[09:53] ---**
This world will be coming to an end soon!
**[09:55] ---**
Until then, I'm going off to hide!
**[09:58] ---**
Come back here! You stinking germ!
**[10:06] ---**
White Blood Cell, good luck to you!
**[10:11] ---**
All of you look so miserable and hot!
**[10:14] ---**
H-He's gonna ride the blood flow
and conceal himself!
**[10:17] ---**
Lucky me! The flow
inside this blood vessel has speeded up!
**[10:26] ---**
As if to say, "Mr. Bacillus Cereus, please make
a clean escape and invade this world."
**[10:32] ---**
No, I think that's what it's actually saying!
**[10:35] ---**
Don't get carried away!
**[10:37] ---**
Whoops, that was close!
**[10:41] ---**
You're not getting away!
**[10:43] ---**
This is U-1146!
Requesting immediate backup!
**[10:47] ---**
*Roger that! I'll meet up with you shortly!*
**[10:51] ---**
It's an antigen!
**[10:52] ---**
There he is!
**[10:56] ---**
It's coming this way!
**[10:58] ---**
You're not getting away,
you stinking germ!
**[11:08] ---**
Where'd he go?
**[11:12] ---**
I can't see!
**[11:15] ---**
- Is he gone?
- Did he go somewhere?
**[11:17] ---**
It's getting crowded, huh?
**[11:22] ---**
The obstacle is making it...
**[11:26] ---**
so very easy to escape!
**[11:29] ---**
- Where is he?
- Hey you!
**[11:31] ---**
You bastard!
**[11:33] ---**
Hey, let me through!
**[11:35] ---**
Hey! Stop pushing me!
**[11:36] ---**
Oh man! It's White Blood Cell!
**[11:38] ---**
I'm going after the antigen!
Get outta my way!
**[11:40] ---**
Antigen? No way! Where is it?
**[11:41] ---**
It's too dark to see!
**[11:43] ---**
It's hot, and it's dark! What's going on?
**[11:54] ---**
It's hot! Help us!
**[11:56] ---**
I'm so hot! I'm so hot!
**[11:59] ---**
Somebody tell us what's going on!
**[12:02] ---**
They're not coming after me?
**[12:08] ---**
Whoa! It's an antigen! Over there!
**[12:12] ---**
What's that White Blood Cell doing?
**[12:22] ---**
So hot!
**[12:24] ---**
And it's so dark I can't see a thing!
**[12:46] ---**
This is great!
**[12:48] ---**
To think that in this world,
even a White Blood Cell has heat stroke...
**[13:03] ---**
Cells at Work!
**[13:08] ---**
Cells at Work!
**[13:14] ---**
Looks like you overdid it
in this horrible heat, huh?
**[13:19] ---**
That won't do!
You've got to take care of yourself!
**[13:26] ---**
But good for you.
You managed to keep your hat on!
***SIGN*** HEAT STROKE
PREVENTATIVE MEASURE #1: HAT
Block direct sunlight,
overheating to the head.
**[13:32] ---**
That's the last of our buckwheat tea!
**[13:33] ---**
You should've kept yourself
properly hydrated!
**[13:38] ---**
Oh, that's right!
**[13:40] ---**
This body lacks fluids!
***SIGN*** HEAT STROKE
PREVENTATIVE MEASURE #2:
REHYDRATION
To prevent dehydration,
replenish fluids and sodium frequently.
**[13:42] ---**
Damn you!
**[13:44] ---**
WATER
**[13:44] ---**
I just told you it can't be done!
**[13:45] ---**
Captain!
**[13:45] ---**
Dehydration has reached maximum level!
**[13:48] ---**
There... There just isn't enough
to trigger hidrosis!
**[13:53] ---**
Big Sister, I'm so hot!
**[13:56] ---**
Don't worry!
**[13:58] ---**
I'm sure White Blood Cell
and his friends will take care of this!
**[14:04] ---**
Gather all the sodium we have!
**[14:06] ---**
We're going to use osmotic pressure
to pump up water!
**[14:09] ---**
We can't! Most of the sodium's already
been discharged in hidrosis!
**[14:13] ---**
What did you say?
**[14:14] ---**
Captain! What should we do?
**[14:20] ---**
At this point, there's nothing
the system can do.
**[14:24] ---**
If this keeps up,
the body will become dehydrated!
***SIGN*** DEHYDRATION:
When you lose the fluids in your body,
compromising your daily life and
life support activities. When you fall
into this state, you may experience
difficulties absorbing nutrients and oxygen,
in excreting body wastes, in thermoregulation,
as well as the circulation of your bodily fluids.

**[15:05] ---**
He's praying for rain?
**[15:06] ---**
Oh no! The captain's gone bonkers!
**[15:16] ---**
So you can still stand?
**[15:26] ---**
Oh come on! Let's see you bring it!
**[15:36] ---**
Fire! Help!
**[15:39] ---**
Just look. The thermoregulation system
is utterly useless now!
**[15:47] ---**
This world is coming to an end.
**[15:52] ---**
A little fever like this
doesn't bother me at all!
***SIGN*** BACILLUS CEREUS:

First of all, let's see...
**[16:27] ---**
Maybe I'll head over to the brain
so that I can flaunt my powers!
**[16:31] ---**
Wh-What the...
**[16:35] ---**
You sure are pesky, damn you!
Just give it up!
**[16:38] ---**
No way am I gonna let you
harm this body!
**[16:42] ---**
Just accept reality!
**[16:45] ---**
I know you tried all kinds of things,
like hidrosis and increased vascular flow!
**[16:49] ---**
But this body's thermoregulation system's
been defeated to the outside temperature!
**[16:54] ---**
This body will be history soon!
**[16:57] ---**
Now get it through your head
that it's futile,
**[16:59] ---**
and head off somewhere cool
where you can loosen your clothes and rest!
**[17:04] ---**
Say whatever you want!
**[17:07] ---**
Even if the thermoregulation system loses,
**[17:11] ---**
even if these efforts are in vain,
**[17:14] ---**
this body is still alive!
**[17:17] ---**
It doesn't mean I should shirk my duties!
**[17:20] ---**
What a fool you are.
**[17:22] ---**
You should at least take it easy
at the very end.
**[17:40] ---**
I did it.
**[17:45] ---**
And now...
**[17:46] ---**
And now...
**[17:48] ---**
I'm going to conceal myself
in the darkness and divide repeatedly!
**[17:51] ---**
And while those cells panic
over this soaring body temperature,
**[17:54] ---**
I'm going to seize this body!
**[17:57] ---**
And then...
**[17:59] ---**
all of this will become my nation!
**[18:02] ---**
All right! All right!
**[18:05] ---**
I can't stop laughing!
**[18:12] ---**
Now there's no one left to thwart me!
**[18:25] ---**
What's this?
**[18:27] ---**
What's going on? That ring of light...
**[18:30] ---**
That gentle light...
**[18:33] ---**
O-Oh my!
**[18:35] ---**
The epidermal temperature's dropping fast!
**[18:37] ---**
Hey! L-Look at that!
**[18:49] ---**
Wh-What is that tube-shaped thing?
***SIGN*** TRANSFUSION:
A solution injected into the vein.
Mainly used to replenish fluids,
correct electrolyte imbalance,
or to replenish nutrients.
**[18:53] ---**
*Transfusion.*
**[18:55] ---**
*A solution injected into the vein.*
**[18:58] ---**
*Mainly used to replenish fluids,*
**[18:59] ---**
*correct electrolyte imbalance,
or to replenish nutrients.*
**[19:08] ---**
N-No way!
**[19:17] ---**
You did it!
**[19:18] ---**
You did it, Captain!
**[19:20] ---**
All that praying for rain
reached the heavens, Captain!
**[19:24] ---**
Good thing we didn't give up!
**[19:26] ---**
This body's been saved—
**[19:29] ---**
This is great!
**[19:34] ---**
Water!
**[19:36] ---**
So refreshing!
**[19:37] ---**
Yummy!
**[19:38] ---**
- Feels so good!
- Beautiful!
**[19:42] ---**
It's starting to get light, dammit!
**[19:44] ---**
Is this body recovering?
**[19:47] ---**
Take that!
**[19:48] ---**
Now you've done it!
**[19:51] ---**
Recovered due to fluids and c-cooling?
**[20:01] ---**
This... This is ridiculous!
**[20:05] ---**
Hey, that was refreshing.
**[20:21] ---**
Die, you goddamn germ!
**[20:26] ---**
There's Big Brother White Blood Cell!
**[20:29] ---**
But maybe we shouldn't go
near him right now.
**[20:33] ---**
Y-Yeah, you're right.
**[20:36] ---**
*Thanks to the miraculous rain
from the heavens,*
**[20:39] ---**
*the danger of heat stroke
was somehow averted.*
**[20:44] ---**
*Did those prayers for rain
really reach the heavens?*
**[20:48] ---**
*What it was that happened in this world...*
**[20:51] ---**
*The cells have no way of knowing.*
**[21:05] ---**
Hey! Come check this out!
**[21:08] ---**
White Blood Cell, I think it's this way!
**[21:11] ---**
For some reason, the areas
around the thick blood vessels,
**[21:13] ---**
like the neck and underarms
are super-cool!
**[21:18] ---**
- You're right!
- So cool!
**[21:21] ---**
But I wonder why!
**[21:23] ---**
Don't ask me.
**[21:25] ---**
Whatever! At any rate, right now...
***SIGN*** COOL YOUR BODY:
It is effective to evacuate to a cooler location,
and cool the areas where large blood vessels
pass through around the neck,
the underarms, the leg joints (thighs).
**[21:30] ---**
It's so cool!
**[21:35] ---**
White Blood Cell,
**[21:36] ---**
you should wear cooler clothes
while you're working!
**[21:39] ---**
Yeah, I guess so.
**[21:42] ---**
Hey, you. You're a White Blood Cell,
and you got heat stroke?
**[21:45] ---**
What a dummy!
**[21:49] ---**
*And so, for a while,
the blood cells all cooled off.*

*This is the inside of a human body.*
**[02:09] ---**
*Welcome. We are happy to see you.
This is the pulmonary alveoli.*
**[02:12] ---**
*We will collect your carbon dioxide here.*
**[02:12] ---**
OXYGEN GAS
**[02:24] ---**
*Thank you for waiting.*
**[02:25] ---**
*Please take your oxygen.*
**[02:27] ---**
All righty! Next, I'll deliver
this oxygen to everyone in the liver.
***SIGN*** RED BLOOD CELLS:
Red because they contain
large amounts of hemoglobin.
They carry oxygen
and carbon dioxide
using blood circulation.
**[02:39] ---**
Okay!
**[02:41] ---**
FRAGILE
CONDENSED GAS
**[02:41] ---**
Here I go!
**[02:42] ---**
Hey, someone's working hard.
**[02:45] ---**
Senpai!
**[02:47] ---**
I see you're starting to get the hang of it.
**[02:49] ---**
Though you're still making blunders.
**[02:51] ---**
You really think so?
**[02:52] ---**
Senpai, it's all thanks
to your warm guidance every—
**[02:55] ---**
Oh, forget that.
I'm not one to stand on ceremony.
**[02:58] ---**
Oh, so soft!
**[03:00] ---**
Anyway, there's something
I'd like you to do for me.
**[03:03] ---**
Wh-What could that be?
**[03:06] ---**
I'd like you to take on
this rookie Red Blood Cell, and train her.
**[03:10] ---**
Nice to meet you.
**[03:19] ---**
- So there you have it.
- Huh?
**[03:20] ---**
I'm counting on you. Okay, good lu—
**[03:22] ---**
W-Wait!
**[03:23] ---**
H-Hold up a second, Senpai!
**[03:26] ---**
I-I can't do that!
**[03:27] ---**
Not when I'm not even full-fledged myself!
**[03:31] ---**
Don't be like that! This is part of your job!
**[03:34] ---**
When you were a rookie,
**[03:35] ---**
you had other Red Blood Cells
looking after you, too, didn't you?
**[03:39] ---**
Th-That's right.
**[03:41] ---**
So think of this as your way
of paying them back.
**[03:44] ---**
That's how it was for me, too.
**[03:46] ---**
Got it? Try to get along!
**[03:48] ---**
And if anything happens,
let me know right away!
**[03:51] ---**
O-Okay!
**[03:52] ---**
PULMONARY VEIN
**[03:58] ---**
N-Nice to meet you!
**[04:01] ---**
Likewise...
**[04:02] ---**
Senpai.
**[04:03] ---**
*Jeez, she's so calm and collected!*
**[04:06] ---**
Senpai?
**[04:08] ---**
Why are you speaking so formally to me?
**[04:10] ---**
I am your kouhai, aren't I? Theoretically.
**[04:12] ---**
Oh, that's right, you are!
**[04:15] ---**
*Th-That's right!*
**[04:16] ---**
*Now I've gone and thrown my kouhai
into a state of confusion!*
**[04:20] ---**
*Jeez, I'm such an idiot!*
**[04:22] ---**
*I'm the senpai here,
so I need to be strong!*
**[04:25] ---**
*It would only cause her misery
if she sees me as a flaky senpai,*
**[04:29] ---**
*so take charge!*
**[04:33] ---**
*I'm her senpai! Okay!*
**[04:35] ---**
Now then, l-let me show you
all kinds of things!
**[04:38] ---**
Yes, I look forward to your guidance.
**[04:41] ---**
Um, first off, my notes...
**[04:44] ---**
Huh? Huh?
**[04:50] ---**
Listen, let me start by explaining
what it is we do.
**[04:53] ---**
Oh, right.
**[04:55] ---**
The six functions of the blood.
**[04:57] ---**
One, retaining moisture.
Two, exchanging gases.
**[05:00] ---**
Three, transporting nutrients and such.
Four, regulating body temperature.
**[05:04] ---**
Five, protecting the body.
Six, repairing wounds.
**[05:07] ---**
Of these six, our main job as Red Blood Cells
is the exchange of gases, right?
**[05:13] ---**
Although we also take on
the extra task of transporting nutrients
**[05:16] ---**
which isn't really our job.
**[05:18] ---**
After we deliver oxygen
to the tissue cells, they burn up glucose,
**[05:23] ---**
producing energy,
carbon dioxide and water.
**[05:27] ---**
And since carbon dioxide is toxic
to the body and must be expelled,
**[05:32] ---**
we transport it to the pulmonary alveoli,
**[05:34] ---**
and exchange it for oxygen.
**[05:36] ---**
Then rinse, lather and repeat, I hear.
**[05:39] ---**
And that's why we, Red Blood Cells,
are indispensable
**[05:40] ---**
*What can I teach this kid...
no, I mean this hotshot?*
**[05:41] ---**
for maintaining the cycle of life, correct?
**[05:45] ---**
And I am honored to be charged
with such a job.
**[05:50] ---**
Uh, Senpai?
**[05:52] ---**
I see, so you already know all that, huh?
**[05:54] ---**
Then...
**[05:56] ---**
for now, let's go circulate for real!
**[06:00] ---**
It's okay if you don't understand.
Just try to learn stuff as you go along!
**[06:03] ---**
Just do it!
**[06:04] ---**
Oh right, I suppose.
**[06:13] ---**
*Huh? Come to think of it,
what should I say to a kouhai?*
**[06:17] ---**
*Introduce myself?*
**[06:19] ---**
*If only she'd save the job descriptions
and all for when we're on the move.*
**[06:24] ---**
*This one's a little inefficient, I see.*
**[06:28] ---**
Um...
**[06:31] ---**
Turn right here? Is that the path?
**[06:34] ---**
Hey, you! This is the lymphatic vessel!
**[06:36] ---**
No Red Blood Cell brats allowed!
***SIGN*** KILLER T CELLS (CYTOTOXIC T CELLS):
Assassins who recognize and destroy
foreign cells, such as Graft Cells,
virus-infected cells and Cancer Cells.
They mainly reside in the lymphatic tissue.
**[06:39] ---**
I-I made a wrong turn!
**[06:43] ---**
That was scary!
**[06:45] ---**
Sorry to shock you like that.
**[06:47] ---**
Oh, you didn't.
**[06:49] ---**
I'm always making wrong turns.
**[06:51] ---**
I'm such an airhead.
**[06:52] ---**
No.
**[06:53] ---**
But that person right now
was more aggressive than he needed to be.
**[06:57] ---**
That was what didn't sit well with me.
**[06:59] ---**
After all,
**[07:00] ---**
it's not our job to get screamed at
by that person, is it now?
**[07:03] ---**
Oh yes.
**[07:05] ---**
I mean...
***SIGN*** WHITE BLOOD CELLS
(NEUTROPHILS):
Their main task is to
eliminate foreign
substances from outside,
such as bacteria
and viruses.
**[07:08] ---**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[07:10] ---**
Die! Die!
***SIGN*** STREPTOCOCCUS MUTANS:
Fungus that exists inside the mouth.
One of the causes of cavities.
**[07:12] ---**
It's White Blood Cell!
**[07:14] ---**
Senpai, you know those
from the immune system?
**[07:17] ---**
Yes! They're all so nice!
**[07:20] ---**
Hey you!
**[07:20] ---**
What are you talking about?
**[07:22] ---**
Neutrophils are a gang of anomalies
who confuse justice with violence.
***SIGN*** PHAGOCYTOSIS:
To absorb bacteria
and other foreign substances,
and break them down.
Also known as "phagocytic effects."
**[07:29] ---**
Th-That's not true!
**[07:31] ---**
He's gentle when you talk to him.
**[07:48] ---**
Thanks for your hard work,
White Blood Cell!
**[07:50] ---**
*She doesn't care.*
**[07:51] ---**
Yo, Red Blood Cell. Good work!
**[07:54] ---**
That Red Blood Cell next to you...
Is she your kouhai?
**[07:56] ---**
That's right!
**[07:58] ---**
I've been given the task of training her,
and I've been showing her the ropes!
**[08:03] ---**
Not that I've taught her anything yet.
**[08:05] ---**
Is that right? Nice to meet—
**[08:07] ---**
Wait, it's still breathing?
**[08:10] ---**
You see, there are different types
of White Blood Cells working in this blood vessel.
**[08:15] ---**
Like Neutrophils and other kinds!
**[08:18] ---**
Hey, White Blood Cell!
Tell her all about it!
**[08:21] ---**
Huh? Oh sure!
**[08:23] ---**
We, White Blood Cells,
have several types of jobs.
**[08:27] ---**
Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils...
**[08:30] ---**
H-Hey you!
**[08:31] ---**
Particularly Macropha—
**[08:33] ---**
Die!
**[08:35] ---**
And then, you have
your lymphatic vessels, too.
**[08:38] ---**
You bastard!
**[08:40] ---**
Everyone's a little scared
of White Blood Cell here,
**[08:44] ---**
but he's really such a nice guy!
**[08:47] ---**
Here's the finishing blow!
**[08:47] ---**
So I think
**[08:49] ---**
you should be friends!
**[08:49] ---**
Senpai, blood spray! Get out of the way!
**[08:54] ---**
Sorry! I'm really sorry, okay?
**[08:56] ---**
That's your brand-new uniform,
and now it's sticky with blood spatter!
**[09:00] ---**
Forgive me.
**[09:01] ---**
No. I don't mind at all.
**[09:05] ---**
THIS HOT WATER IS FOR RINSING
**[09:06] ---**
Look, since you're soaking wet,
**[09:09] ---**
I brought you something warm to drink.
**[09:11] ---**
Which do you want? Coffee or tea?
**[09:13] ---**
There's milk and sugar, too.
**[09:15] ---**
Let's both drink and warm up!
**[09:16] ---**
No, normally, shouldn't you
bring me a towel and not a drink?
**[09:19] ---**
SHE'S ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
***SIGN*** SCALE
**[09:20] ---**
*She's absolutely right!*
**[09:23] ---**
*This won't do!
I've got to be more senpai-like!*
**[09:27] ---**
As for who we're going to deliver the oxygen
we're transporting from the lungs...
**[09:31] ---**
I know. Anyway, we'd better
hurry up and hand it over.
**[09:35] ---**
R-Really?
**[09:36] ---**
Then, when you hand it over,
look them in the eye and say with a smile,
**[09:39] ---**
in a clear voice,
"I've come to deliver your..."
**[09:41] ---**
- You don't have to tell me that, either.
- Oh, and then...
**[09:43] ---**
after they take it,
get their signature or stamp,
**[09:46] ---**
Um...
**[09:46] ---**
and some people will say,
"Thank you for your hard work."
**[09:49] ---**
Senpai...
**[09:50] ---**
So, I always say,
"Oh no, I'm just doing my job."
**[09:51] ---**
The oxygen...
**[09:53] ---**
Never mind that!
**[09:54] ---**
Just hand it over already!
**[09:57] ---**
This person is called Eosinophil.
**[09:59] ---**
I know that.
***SIGN*** EOSINOPHIL:
A type of
White Blood Cell.
Multiplies during
allergic reactions
or parasitic infections.
**[10:00] ---**
She's not just pretty!
She's really amazing, too!
**[10:01] ---**
Pret—
**[10:03] ---**
You want to know how amazing?
**[10:05] ---**
She took on this gigantic enemy
called a "parasite,"
**[10:08] ---**
and stabbed it from mid-air like this!
**[10:11] ---**
Oh hey...
**[10:12] ---**
I wish you could've seen her that day!
**[10:16] ---**
I mean, she was totally, unbelievably cool!
**[10:19] ---**
P-P-Please, don't heap
so much praise on me! Really!
**[10:22] ---**
Senpai, you're embarrassing her.
**[10:27] ---**
The little Platelets' job
is to close up wounds,
***SIGN*** PLATELETS
They aggregate when the blood vessels
are damaged, and cover the wounds.
**[10:30] ---**
and even though they're tiny, they protect
the peace inside this blood vessel.
**[10:34] ---**
I know all that.
**[10:35] ---**
Senpai!
**[10:38] ---**
Please don't get tangled in the fibrin!
**[10:41] ---**
Thank you for your cooperation!
**[10:47] ---**
Hello there!
**[10:49] ---**
Dendritic Cell, Macrophage,
thank you for your hard work!
**[10:53] ---**
Oh my.
**[10:54] ---**
By any chance, are you a trainer now?
**[10:57] ---**
That's great! You're all grown up!
**[10:59] ---**
Oh please, no!
I've still got a long ways to go!
**[11:03] ---**
Senpai, we'd better make that delivery.
**[11:05] ---**
Okay! Right, let's go!
**[11:07] ---**
All right, if you'll excuse us please!
**[11:10] ---**
Senpai, I don't think it's that way.
**[11:15] ---**
Let's take breaks here and there
when we get tired!
**[11:17] ---**
GLUCOSE
**[11:18] ---**
Right.
**[11:20] ---**
I told you!
**[11:22] ---**
That wasn't my fault, all right?
**[11:24] ---**
You let out too much histamine!
That was definitely the cause!
**[11:27] ---**
Right, Memory?
**[11:29] ---**
What do you say?
**[11:30] ---**
LEGEND MEMOS
**[11:30] ---**
Um... Um... Um... Where? Where? Where?
**[11:30] ---**
Memory!
**[11:32] ---**
Memory!
**[11:33] ---**
I can't remember a thing!
**[11:37] ---**
Now, now, just calm down, Memory!
**[11:40] ---**
Jeez, would you mind
not losing it all of a sudden?
**[11:43] ---**
You're a grownup.
Don't ever let things faze you!
**[11:44] ---**
Yummy!
**[11:49] ---**
Oh my!
**[11:50] ---**
Senpai, wrong place!
**[11:52] ---**
Senpai, you'll be in the way if you stand there.
**[11:54] ---**
Step aside please.
**[11:55] ---**
Senpai, you're going the wrong way.
**[11:57] ---**
Senpai, please get a hold of yourself.
**[11:59] ---**
Senpai!
**[12:00] ---**
Senpai!
**[12:01] ---**
Senpai!
**[12:02] ---**
Look, Senpai!
**[12:09] ---**
Wow, is this where they produce
all the transmitters?
**[12:14] ---**
That's right.
There are a bunch of different types, too.
**[12:17] ---**
Are you a rookie?
**[12:18] ---**
Yes.

Huh? Where's Senpai?

**[12:45] ---**
Senpai?
**[12:47] ---**
S-Sorry for being
such an unreliable senpai!
**[12:50] ---**
No, please don't worry about it.
**[12:53] ---**
This time, I'm going to do
a good job guiding you!
**[13:02] ---**
Let's see... So this is that way,
and that way is...
**[13:06] ---**
*If you're going back to the lungs
from here, make a right. Right.*
**[13:10] ---**
Like this...
**[13:17] ---**
Right, I think! Yeah!

*New cells are born*

Li'l Kouhai!
**[15:52] ---**
Senpai...
**[15:54] ---**
What? Wh-What's going on here?
**[15:57] ---**
I don't know.
**[15:59] ---**
Hey! Are you okay?
**[16:04] ---**
White Blood Cell! Platelet!
**[16:06] ---**
What in the world happened?
**[16:07] ---**
I'm not sure!
**[16:08] ---**
But the order is for all blood cells
to gather in the center of the body!
**[16:12] ---**
You'd better hurry
or the blood cells here will...
**[16:15] ---**
Look!
**[16:16] ---**
This overpowering blood pressure
is sweeping them towards us!
***SIGN*** BLOOD PRESSURE:
Pressure applied in order to keep sending blood to
all areas of the body. Normally, blood pressure refers
to arterial blood pressure. Its energy source is the throbbing
that occurs when the heart constricts and expands.
Blood pressure can change due to various reasons,
but when it rises above normal parameters,
it indicates high blood pressure, and low blood pressure
when it's too low. This affects the body in various ways.
**[16:21] ---**
We're getting swept away!
**[16:24] ---**
Senpai! What's causing
this spike in blood pressure?
**[16:27] ---**
I don't have a clue, either!
**[16:38] ---**
THE BROADCAST WILL BEGIN SHORTLY
**[16:40] ---**
PLEASE STAND BY

THE CENTER
OF THE BODY
**[16:42] ---**
What's this? What happened?
**[16:46] ---**
*Emergency! All migrating White Blood Cells,
please gather immediately!*
**[16:55] ---**
Hey, no pushing!
**[17:01] ---**
What's going on anyway?
**[17:15] ---**
What's the damage?
**[17:16] ---**
Extremely severe issues
are cropping up everywhere.
**[17:19] ---**
It's chaos out in the field,
**[17:21] ---**
and it looks like it's going to take time
to get to the bottom of this!
**[17:24] ---**
At this rate, it's only a matter of time
before we're invaded by antigens. Damn!
**[17:28] ---**
Captain!
**[17:31] ---**
All right.
**[17:32] ---**
We have no choice!
**[17:34] ---**

**[18:44] ---**
All right! Let's keep transporting!

That way!

What's going on?

Come on!

The blood flow's faster than usual!*
**[19:12] ---**
*And the heartbeat's getting faster!*
**[19:14] ---**
Stop pushing!
**[19:15] ---**
The flow is really fast!

Now's our chance

**[20:18] ---**
Damn! Those White Blood Cells
show up so soon in the tissue!
**[20:22] ---**
I'll have to escape somewhere
far from this vessel!
**[20:32] ---**
You're not getting away!
**[20:42] ---**
I'm getting closer to the wound, huh?
**[20:45] ---**
So the Red Blood Cells must be
under attack by the antigens there!
**[20:49] ---**
I should look for them!
**[21:03] ---**
It's so quiet in here.
**[21:15] ---**
No way!
**[21:20] ---**
Impossible!
**[21:25] ---**
No blood cells...
**[21:27] ---**
in sight!
**[21:37] ---**
*We are now in a state of emergency.*
**[21:39] ---**
*We have detected life-threatening damage.*

Hey!

WHITE BLOOD CELL
**[02:43] ---**
Hey!
**[02:44] ---**
Is anybody there?
**[02:52] ---**
Hey! Anybody?
**[02:55] ---**
Isn't anybody here?
**[02:59] ---**
BLOOD VESSEL
**[03:04] ---**
Hey, you guys!
**[03:10] ---**
There are no blood cells!
**[03:15] ---**
Hey you there!
**[03:18] ---**
White Blood Cell?
**[03:19] ---**
Hold up! Don't be afraid!
Tell me what's going on.
***SIGN*** WHITE BLOOD CELLS
(NEUTROPHILS):
Their main task is
to eliminate foreign
substances from outside,
such as bacteria
and viruses.
**[03:22] ---**
The cells that were here...
Don't tell me they're all...
**[03:25] ---**
Th-That's right! I saw it myself!
**[03:30] ---**
Tens of thousands...
Hundreds of thousands... Millions...
**[03:31] ---**
Help us!
**[03:32] ---**
No, even more than that!
**[03:35] ---**
Zillions of blood cells getting swept up
and sucked toward the mouth of the wound!
**[03:41] ---**
And the bleeding still hasn't stopped!
**[03:45] ---**
You know what that means, don't you?
**[03:48] ---**
There are no Red Blood Cells
to distribute oxygen throughout the body!
**[03:51] ---**
The oxygen that we cells need in order to live!
**[03:57] ---**
The lungs and the secretion system...
**[03:59] ---**
I'm sure the tissue cells all over the body
will do whatever they can,
**[04:02] ---**
but there's just nothing
anyone can do to fix this!
**[04:02] ---**
NOW CONSTRICTING
**[04:05] ---**
Eventually, the inside
of this body will grow cold,
**[04:08] ---**
and starting with the distal cells,
we're all going to die from lack of oxygen!

It's all over for this world!

WELCOME TO THE LUNGS
**[06:02] ---**
What is this?
**[06:06] ---**
The lungs!
**[06:07] ---**
Why are they pumping so violently?
**[06:09] ---**
What is this wind?
**[06:14] ---**
Somebody please deliver this oxygen!
**[06:18] ---**
The lungs are breathing so hard!
And they're inhaling oxygen!
**[06:22] ---**
Still...
**[06:23] ---**
Somebody please deliver this oxygen!
**[06:28] ---**
It's not circulating
to all parts of the body!
**[06:30] ---**
Hurry! Please deliver this!
**[06:33] ---**
So,
**[06:34] ---**
there aren't nearly enough
Red Blood Cells to deliver it?
**[06:39] ---**
Heave-ho!
**[06:40] ---**
S-Senpai?
**[06:42] ---**
This is no time to stand around and gawk!
**[06:44] ---**
We've got to deliver this pronto!
**[06:47] ---**
The cells are all waiting for us after all!

Thank you for waiting!
Here's your new oxygen!

WE ASK FOR YOUR COOPERATION
**[08:02] ---**
PLATELETS
**[08:03] ---**
Blood cells, please try
not to get blown away!
**[08:09] ---**
This is the entrance to the blood vessel!
**[08:13] ---**
Please try not to get blown away!
**[08:36] ---**
Blood cells, please be careful
as you move forward!
**[08:42] ---**
Let's go!
**[08:47] ---**
Dammit!
**[08:49] ---**
What's going on?
**[08:50] ---**
There are fewer Red Blood Cells passing
through this blood vessel than ever before!
**[08:54] ---**
Hurry! Hurry!
**[08:54] ---**
BLOOD PRESSURE
**[08:55] ---**
We haven't been able to procure
nearly enough, either!
**[08:57] ---**
There aren't enough blood cells!
**[08:59] ---**
What about oxygen transport?
**[09:01] ---**
GIVE ME OXYGEN!
**[09:01] ---**
OXYGEN GAS
**[09:01] ---**
Not enough supply!
**[09:02] ---**
CAN'T BREATHE
**[09:04] ---**
If this keeps up, we're not gonna be able
to send enough oxygen to the cells!
**[09:08] ---**
Now that it's come to this,
we're gonna have to provide backup!
**[09:11] ---**
Use blood pressure
to prod the Red Blood Cells!
**[09:14] ---**
Make 'em circulate like there's no tomorrow!
**[09:16] ---**
Right!
**[09:18] ---**
Start prodding!
**[09:20] ---**
Right!

**[09:44] ---**
Hey, no pushing!
**[09:45] ---**
It's not me!
**[09:46] ---**
I'm getting shoved from behind
by the rising blood pressure!
**[09:52] ---**
Stop pushing!
**[09:55] ---**
Watch out!
**[09:58] ---**
Don't raise the blood pressure
when there's a wound! Idiot!
***SIGN*** A SYMPTOM OF HEAVY BLOOD LOSS:

WARNING
**[10:20] ---**
We're in trouble! Increasing the blood pressure

**[10:25] ---**
Whaaat?
**[10:31] ---**
Don't look behind you, Li'l Kouhai!

We're almost there.
So let's hang in there! Okay?
**[10:41] ---**
Please, just keep transporting!

Hold up a second!
**[11:21] ---**
In this snow, we can't...
**[11:23] ---**
But we've got to go!
**[11:30] ---**
If at least you and I
don't keep delivering oxygen,
**[11:33] ---**
the cells will all die!
**[11:37] ---**
Come on!
**[11:39] ---**
Li'l Kouhai!
**[11:41] ---**
My hands are so stiff!

Give me your hand.
**[12:02] ---**
Will you stop already?
**[12:04] ---**
Just look around you!
**[12:06] ---**
Even if we try our hardest,
**[12:08] ---**
do you really believe it'll change anything?
**[12:11] ---**
At this point, there's no way
we can supply enough oxygen in time!
**[12:15] ---**
Aside from you and me,
there aren't any other Red Blood Cells!
**[12:20] ---**
You're just trying to show off
in front of your kouhai,
**[12:24] ---**
stubbornly trying to hang in there!
**[12:27] ---**
It's so pointless!
**[12:29] ---**
Haven't you ever heard of it?
**[12:30] ---**
Death from hemorrhagic shock!
**[12:34] ---**
*Hemorrhagic shock.*
***SIGN*** HEMORRHAGIC SHOCK:
When the body loses massive amounts of blood
due to external injuries or internal bleeding
from the digestive tract and such,
it can no longer maintain blood pressure,
and consciousness grows hazy, sometimes resulting in fainting.
Unless appropriate measures are taken, it can result in death.
It is said that the body goes into shock
once it loses about a third of its blood supply.

**[15:07] ---**
Hey, you okay?
**[15:11] ---**
Wh... Wh... Wh... Wh... Wh...
**[15:15] ---**
Who are you?
**[15:16] ---**
Where are we?
**[15:17] ---**
Beats me!
**[15:18] ---**
We're all together, right?
**[15:20] ---**
What kind of cell are you?
**[15:21] ---**
Jeez, this place is freezing!
**[15:22] ---**
Hey, that girl is dressed like a Red Blood Cell.
**[15:25] ---**
What kind of work do you do?
**[15:27] ---**
You're a young Red Blood Cell,
just like us, aren't you?
**[15:29] ---**
Huh? But that uniform design
is a little different.
**[15:33] ---**
But she looks like us, doesn't she?
**[15:35] ---**
Nice to meet you!
**[15:37] ---**
So, why are you all worn out?
**[15:39] ---**
You're covered with snow.
**[15:42] ---**
U-Um...
**[15:44] ---**
The thing is, there was this huge wound...
**[15:47] ---**
We all did our best,
**[15:49] ---**
but we just didn't have enough people
to deliver the oxygen!
**[15:52] ---**
What? You mean, unless we do something,
**[15:54] ---**
this body that we're in right now
could be history?
**[15:57] ---**
I mean, we got dragged here
without any explanation,
**[15:59] ---**
so this is really outrageous!
**[16:01] ---**
Hey! Big trouble, you guys!
**[16:06] ---**
Such-and-such, yadda yadda.
**[16:07] ---**
So you see, no road is long
with good company!
**[16:10] ---**
This was all meant to be!
**[16:12] ---**
And since we're all Red Blood Cells,
we've got to go with the flow!
**[16:16] ---**
I see!
**[16:17] ---**
You're absolutely right!
**[16:18] ---**
You're so wise!
**[16:19] ---**
We may have started out in different workplaces,
but our job is the same.
**[16:23] ---**
All together now, let's take this oxygen!
**[16:26] ---**
And deliver it!
**[16:27] ---**
Yeah!
**[16:34] ---**
*These Red Blood Cells,
who appeared out of nowhere,*
**[16:37] ---**
*managed to send oxygen
to every corner of the body in a flash.*
**[16:43] ---**
Who are you?
**[16:44] ---**

CONSTRUCTION
**[16:44] ---**
Please plug it up with your fibrin!
**[16:47] ---**
Okay!
**[16:49] ---**
Who are you?
**[16:49] ---**
I'm a Red Blood Cell!
**[16:51] ---**
You don't have to hold your breath anymore!
**[16:54] ---**
Who are you?
**[16:55] ---**
What a nice place this body is.
**[16:58] ---**
Even if it's kind of in a shambles.
**[17:01] ---**
*And then...*
**[17:03] ---**
LAST WORDS:
PLEASE HANG
THE BEDDING TO DRY
-CELL
**[17:05] ---**
I'm done for—
**[17:06] ---**
Don't be so prepared to die!
**[17:09] ---**
Oxy... gen...
**[17:12] ---**
Huh?
**[17:13] ---**
I've come to deliver your oxygen!
**[17:16] ---**
Please forgive me for being so late!
**[17:21] ---**
You saved my life!
**[17:24] ---**
*Thanks to the efforts
of this great horde of Red Blood Cells,*
**[17:27] ---**
*and of each of the other cells,*
**[17:30] ---**
*the dangers of hemorrhagic shock
were averted.*
**[17:34] ---**
I finally managed to make my deliveries.
**[17:36] ---**
Hey, hold up, you...
**[17:37] ---**
I got you!
**[17:42] ---**
Hey.
**[17:45] ---**
Good job.
**[17:49] ---**
I wonder how many blood cells we lost.
**[17:52] ---**
I don't know the exact number,
but probably too many to count.
**[17:57] ---**
Where did those new Red Blood Cells
come from, I wonder.
**[18:02] ---**
Who knows?
**[18:03] ---**
But thanks to them, we were saved.
***SIGN*** BLOOD DONATION:
To provide blood free of charge
for transfusions and blood product manufacture.
As blood for transfusions has a short shelf life,
blood donation is a constant need.
**[18:07] ---**
One day, out of the blue,
we got sucked into a strange tube,
**[18:12] ---**
and I don't know how to explain it,
but we got twirled around,
**[18:16] ---**
then they made us sleep in a huge room!
**[18:19] ---**
And then, the next thing we knew,
we were here!
***SIGN*** TRANSFUSION:
A type of treatment in which
missing blood components
are replenished. Among
the components that can be
replaced via transfusions
are red blood cells, platelets,
plasma components and clotting factor.
The appropriate blood product
is selected and then transfused.
**[18:22] ---**
*Transfusion.*

RELAXING TEA
**[18:29] ---**
How strange!
**[18:30] ---**
This is a different body
than the one we were in before,
**[18:33] ---**
but we're glad to be able to work
in a body again.
**[18:36] ---**
It's like they've always been here.
**[18:38] ---**
Wonder where they came from. Seriously.
**[18:42] ---**
All right, now I'm going to go
look for my li'l kouhai!
**[18:45] ---**
Okay.
**[18:46] ---**
Thank you so much for the tea!
**[18:48] ---**
Senpai! Senpai!
**[18:52] ---**
Li'l Kouhai!
**[18:54] ---**
There's something
I'd like to say to you, Senpai.
**[18:58] ---**
- Y-You look so fierce!
- Y-You look so fierce!
**[19:01] ---**
Regarding my rookie training...
**[19:06] ---**
Thank you very much!
**[19:09] ---**
Until now, I've always thought of myself
as one of the more competent ones, but...
**[19:13] ---**
Oh, well, I actually am, but...
**[19:15] ---**
Yeah!
**[19:16] ---**
But today, I learned something important
from you regarding work, Senpai.
**[19:22] ---**
Work isn't just about knowledge,
but also experience,
**[19:25] ---**
and it's also important
to have a passionate heart!
**[19:32] ---**
Li'l Kouhai...
**[19:40] ---**
Thank goodness!
**[19:42] ---**
I was afraid there wasn't anything
I could teach you,
**[19:46] ---**
but now that you put it that way...
**[19:49] ---**
S-Senpai, please don't cry.
**[19:55] ---**
I'm sorry that I'm such a lame senpai!
**[19:58] ---**
But let's keep working together
from now on, too! Okay?
**[20:02] ---**
Oh yes, nice to meet you. Who are you?
**[20:05] ---**
Nice to meet you!
**[20:06] ---**
Hey, right back atcha!
**[20:09] ---**
S-S-S-Sorry, wrong person!
**[20:12] ---**
Huh? Huh?
**[20:14] ---**
Where are you, Li'l Kouhai?
**[20:14] ---**
*It wasn't long*
**[20:16] ---**
Hey you! Are you all right?
**[20:16] ---**
*before Red Blood Cell found herself
getting flustered by her competent kouhai*
**[20:19] ---**
*and this horde of new friends.*

Sorry for the inconvenience!
**[20:36] ---**
Hey, Memory! How are you?
**[20:39] ---**
Thank you for waiting!
**[20:41] ---**
This is your oxygen for the day.
**[20:43] ---**
Thanks for your hard work!
**[20:45] ---**
That was a massive amount again today!
**[20:48] ---**
Hey you!
**[20:50] ---**
Move it, you slowpokes!
**[20:57] ---**
Huh?
**[20:58] ---**
Huh?
**[21:00] ---**
Hey, Red Blood Cell.
**[21:02] ---**
What are you doing in a place like this?
**[21:05] ---**
White Blood Cell!
**[21:06] ---**
Don't tell me you're lost.
**[21:08] ---**
O-Of course I'm not lost!
**[21:11] ---**
I've matured, you know!
**[21:13] ---**
Well, but your map's upside down.
**[21:15] ---**
H-Here!
**[21:16] ---**
I was just about to make a delivery here!
**[21:21] ---**
Antigens!
**[21:21] ---**
I'll kill 'em all!
**[21:23] ---**
Get back here, you antigen!
**[21:27] ---**
Red Blood Cell, good luck to you!
**[21:29] ---**
Right!
**[21:31] ---**
Target sighted!
**[21:32] ---**
Good luck to you, too, White Blood Cell!
**[21:35] ---**
Um...
**[21:37] ---**
That...
**[21:39] ---**
I'm so sorry!
**[21:40] ---**
Thank you for waiting!
**[21:42] ---**
Here's your oxygen for the day!

Listen up, you guys!
**[02:46] ---**
Cold season is just around the corner!
***SIGN*** KILLER T CELLS
(CYTOTOXIC T CELLS):
Mobilize under orders
from the Helper T Cells.
Assassins who recognize and destroy
foreign cells, such as Graft Cells,
virus-infected cells and Cancer Cells.

***SIGN*** THE COMMON COLD:
Medically speaking, the "common cold syndrome,"
inflammation of the respiratory system,
or the generic term for such symptoms.
Also known as "cold" or "acute upper
respiratory inflammation." Inflammation causes
sneezing, runny nose, stuffed-up nose,
sore throat, coughing, phlegm or fever.
**[03:01] ---**
This area here, near the head and throat,
is especially vulnerable to viruses!
**[03:06] ---**
If you spot an infected cell,
**[03:08] ---**
make sure you annihilate it
the second you hear the order!
**[03:11] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[03:12] ---**
I can't hear you!
**[03:14] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[03:15] ---**
All right, one more time!

Protect against colds!
**[03:29] ---**
Yeah!

**[03:30] ---**
Huh! They're talking
about annihilating us cells.

**[03:31] ---**
Yeah!
**[03:32] ---**
Protect against colds!
**[03:34] ---**

Just because they happen to have
an out-of-the-ordinary job...
**[03:35] ---**
All right, follow me!
**[03:37] ---**
They sure are full of themselves!
**[03:40] ---**
*We're the invincible T Cells!*
**[03:43] ---**
*There's nothing in this world that we fear!*
**[03:46] ---**
*We're the invincible T Cells!*
**[03:49] ---**
*And we're gonna annihilate
those virus cells!*
**[03:55] ---**
All right.
**[03:57] ---**
Time to get to work, I guess.
**[03:59] ---**
Compared to those guys
from the immune system,
**[04:02] ---**
our jobs as mere common cells must seem...
***SIGN*** CELL CYCLE CHECKPOINT:
A control mechanism to assess
whether the cell cycle
is progressing normally.
If any anomalies are found,
it directs the cell cycle to stop
or to slow down. The cells themselves
are equipped with this control mechanism.

What a drag. Seriously.
**[04:29] ---**
Making copies that aren't
even cute, over and over...
***SIGN*** CELL DIVISION:
When a single cell divides into two
or more cells. Following interphase,
when the DNA is replicated, the cell
enters the mitotic stage when cell division
occurs. The series of events that take place
from the moment one division ends
until the end of the next division
is called the "cell cycle." The number of times
a cell can divide depends on its type.

in which the chromosomes
are arranged.
**[05:10] ---**
This same task over and over, huh?

Plus, its face is pale!
**[06:13] ---**
Hey, what are you doing?
**[06:16] ---**
All right!

Before we take a break, make sure
you wash your hands and gargle!

THANK YOU, ALWAYS
**[06:34] ---**
It says, "Thank you, always."
**[06:36] ---**
*Is that a present?*
**[06:39] ---**
There could be something dangerous inside!

Let me open it over here!

I-I can't expose you guys to danger!

I'll open it!

S-Squad Leader!
**[06:53] ---**
Please be careful!
**[06:56] ---**
*I see. A present from a civilian, huh?*
**[06:59] ---**
*Not that I want a present,
but that's a pretty sweet move.*
**[07:26] ---**
Are you all right, Squad Leader?

Shush! Watch your mouth!

Why, you!
**[07:54] ---**
Come back here, damn you!

**[08:33] ---**
So did you make that yourself?
**[08:36] ---**
Just for this?

Hey, you're pretty funny, you know?

All right, everyone, time to go to work!
**[13:26] ---**
Right!
**[13:27] ---**
Now then, let's all work hard today!
**[13:33] ---**
Oh my!
**[13:47] ---**
Oh my.
**[13:55] ---**
My receptor's going off!
**[13:56] ---**
It's an enemy!
**[13:56] ---**
Find it!
**[13:57] ---**
Where is it? Where is it?
**[14:02] ---**
HISTAMINE
**[14:18] ---**
These divine droplets
that wash away evil from this world...
**[14:23] ---**
They rain down only on corrupt souls.
**[14:28] ---**
But pay close attention, my friends.
**[14:32] ---**
Negligence is corruption of the soul.
**[14:35] ---**
Forget that, and...
**[14:38] ---**
this utopia will transform into a dystopia.
**[14:45] ---**
I've never had fun like this before!
**[14:49] ---**
Still, I'm really impressed by the way
you keep coming up with ideas for pranks!
**[14:55] ---**
It's like you totally have nothing to fear.
**[14:58] ---**
I mean, aren't you afraid
of getting yelled at?
**[15:01] ---**
Those Immune Cells are always so tough
and violent, so they piss me off.
**[15:05] ---**
But it's so much fun
pulling pranks on them!
**[15:10] ---**
But I'd better get back to work now.
**[15:15] ---**
You're coming over?
**[15:20] ---**
Good idea. Why don't you
have a cup of tea with me?
**[15:29] ---**
You know what,
ever since I set off on my own,
**[15:31] ---**
my cell division work has been taking up
all my time, day after day.
**[15:35] ---**
So, I don't have any real friends, not one.
**[15:39] ---**
If it's okay with you,
let's go on being friends, huh?
**[15:43] ---**
Come to think of it, I never asked.
What kinda cell are you?
**[15:48] ---**
That hat you're wearing...
It's stylish, you know?
**[15:59] ---**
What's this?
**[16:03] ---**
Is this a hat?
**[16:07] ---**
Huh? You're giving it to me?
**[16:10] ---**
Did you just say, "Put it on"?
Oh hey, that's all right. I couldn't!
**[16:13] ---**
No, hey...
**[16:16] ---**
What? What's wrong?
**[16:23] ---**
H-Help!
**[16:27] ---**
What the heck?
There are tons of them!
**[16:43] ---**
Stop it! Don't touch the cloning device!
**[16:46] ---**
Are you taking it over? Hey!
**[16:50] ---**
Hey you! Don't tell me...
**[16:53] ---**
you were a virus-infected cell all along?
**[16:58] ---**
*Just when I thought I'd made a friend...*
**[17:02] ---**
*All he wanted to do was use me!*
**[17:09] ---**
Stop it!
**[17:10] ---**
I said stop it!
**[17:12] ---**
Stop it!
**[17:13] ---**
Stop it!
**[17:14] ---**
Stop it!
**[17:16] ---**
Come on, stop it!
**[17:40] ---**
Hey, I owe you big time for before.
**[17:47] ---**
Payback time, you bastard!
**[17:58] ---**
Looks like I made it this time.
**[18:01] ---**
Evacuate with the others!
**[18:03] ---**
You don't seem to understand
how we were able to find you.
**[18:07] ---**
You bastards...
**[18:13] ---**
forgot something.
**[18:17] ---**
We analyzed the RNA you left
on that thing, specified it,
**[18:22] ---**
and that got us permission to mobilize!
***SIGN*** RNA (RIBONUCLEIC ACID):
Its basic components
are the four nucleobases.
Adenine, cytosine, guanine and uracil.
It plays various roles in the process
of generating protein within cells.
Some viruses use RNA as genetic information.
**[18:25] ---**
*RNA. Ribonucleic Acid. Its basic components

**[18:29] ---**
*Adenine, cytosine, guanine and uracil.*

*It plays various roles in the process

**[18:41] ---**
*Some viruses use RNA

**[18:46] ---**
Charge!
**[18:57] ---**
You think an attack like that would work?
**[19:05] ---**
Take that!
**[19:10] ---**
All of you, in one fell swoop, die!
**[19:13] ---**
You miserable infected cells!
**[19:24] ---**
Target sight—
**[19:25] ---**
We're already done.
***SIGN*** RHINOVIRUS:
The predominant cause of the common cold.
Generally causes light rhinitis
(runny nose, sneezing, stuffed-up nose.)
The mucus and saliva of an infected person
contains vast amounts of rhinovirus,
making it highly contagious.
**[19:33] ---**
*The virus turned out to be a rhinovirus,
a pathogen for the common cold.*
**[19:39] ---**
SNEEZE ONE
**[19:48] ---**
Achoo!
**[19:53] ---**
I'm so sorry, clone!
Thank goodness you're all right!
**[19:59] ---**
Jeez! Putting me to all that trouble!
**[20:01] ---**
You moron!
**[20:03] ---**
If you'd gotten infected,
I would've annihilated you, as well!
**[20:07] ---**
You just dodged a bullet!
**[20:10] ---**
From now on, make sure you study up
on both viruses and cells.
**[20:15] ---**
Also, don't make trouble for everyone else!
**[20:20] ---**
Yes.
**[20:23] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[20:25] ---**
*A few days later.*
**[20:27] ---**
There! Get it!
**[20:29] ---**
Hey! That's cheating!
That's cheating, you know!
**[20:35] ---**
Yay! Great shot!
**[20:41] ---**
What the hell are you doing?
**[20:44] ---**
Squad Leader!
**[20:44] ---**
We had nothing to do, so...
**[20:47] ---**
Wanna join us in a game?
**[20:49] ---**
Wh-What?
**[20:52] ---**
Um, since we're neighbors and all,
**[20:54] ---**
I thought if we could all
get along, and, uh...
**[20:57] ---**
I-Idiot! We're assassins, remember?
**[21:01] ---**
No fraternizing for us!
**[21:04] ---**
I'm on the side that kills!
You're on the side that gets killed!
**[21:07] ---**
Proper restraint, and—
**[21:08] ---**
Okay, okay. We've heard that
a billion times, Squad Leader!
**[21:13] ---**
Please don't be such a stiff!
**[21:14] ---**
H-Hey, hold up! Hey, you!
**[21:18] ---**
It's important to mingle, too!
**[21:20] ---**
Let's go! Let's go!
**[21:24] ---**
Damn. Just this once, got that, idiot?
**[21:33] ---**
Oh my, what a monstrous home run!
**[21:36] ---**
Squad Leader,
we're not playing baseball.
**[21:39] ---**
- Get it!
- Do it! There it is!
**[21:41] ---**
Do it! Do it!
**[21:44] ---**
*Why am I keeping score?*
**[21:48] ---**
Hey! That looks fun!
**[21:50] ---**
Huh?
**[21:51] ---**
Is this the Lymphatic Vessel?

**[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] ---**

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] ---**

**[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.
**[23:24] ---**

**[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!

What's going on?
**[06:49] ---**
The Langerhans Cells
are acting crazy all of a sudden!

Don't tell me these guys
are virus-infected cells!

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] ---**

Did the wind break your umbrella?

- Yes.

ACNE
**[12:08] ---**
This inflammatory response...
**[12:10] ---**
*Hair root.*
**[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!*

**[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.
**[21:53] ---**
NK Cell!

Nyuuu!

CELL
**[00:00] ---**
- Come back here!
- Cell boy!
**[00:02] ---**
Nyuuu!
**[00:03] ---**
Lactic Acid Bacterium!
**[00:05] ---**
WHITE BLOOD CELL
**[00:06] ---**
If he reaches an Immune Cell who can see
that he's good bacteria, he'll be fine.
**[00:12] ---**
But if he gets dealt with
as a mere foreign substance,
**[00:15] ---**
then it would be out of my hands.
**[00:17] ---**
Sorry.
**[00:18] ---**
No way.
**[00:20] ---**
That little guy...
**[00:21] ---**
That little guy must've given it all
for this this body, too! I know it!
**[00:26] ---**
Why would you kill someone like that?
**[00:29] ---**
You Immune Cells are jerks!
**[00:32] ---**
That's...
**[00:34] ---**
That's my...
**[00:36] ---**
That's our...
**[00:37] ---**
It's our job, that's why.
**[00:40] ---**
Long time no see.
**[00:42] ---**
NK Cell!
**[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!*
**[03:03] ---**
EPISODE 5:
CYTOKINES
**[03:05] ---**
*"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!
**[04:45] ---**
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.
**[23:24] ---**

**[23:25] ---**
You see, you see...
**[23:27] ---**
They say there are germs called
"hard candy bacteria" in the large intestine!
**[23:30] ---**
Wait, I think you mean
"harmful bacteria," right?

**[01:38] ---**
*I wonder what's wrong.*
**[01:40] ---**
*Since he had had that talk with NK,
things seem kind of tense.*
**[01:40] ---**
CELL

WHITE BLOOD CELL
**[01:47] ---**
Nyuuu!
**[01:49] ---**
I wonder what's bugging those two.
**[01:52] ---**
Nyuuu?
**[01:54] ---**
EPISODE 6:
HARMFUL BACTERIA
**[01:56] ---**
*"Harmful Bacteria."*
**[02:06] ---**
U-Um, excuse me, how much farther?
**[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.*
**[02:29] ---**
*The large intestine
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
to saunter right toward me.
**[20:56] ---**
Now then, which of us, me or you three,
is on the side of justice?
**[21:02] ---**
Let's settle it once and for all.
**[21:08] ---**
Here he comes!
**[21:11] ---**
Die! Die!
**[21:14] ---**
NK!
**[23:24] ---**

**[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!
**[21:49] ---**
Nyuuu!
**[23:24] ---**

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] ---**
*Pathogenic E. coli, Staphylococci,
Clostridium and the like*
**[01:47] ---**
*cause proteins to degrade
and produce toxic by-products.*
**[01:50] ---**
*They are detrimental to the human body
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!

*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...

Oh! White Blood Cell!
Thanks for your hard work!

**[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.

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...

**[23:02] ---**
*This is the inside
of a human body.*
**[23:06] ---**
*Roughly 37 trillion cells*
**[23:09] ---**

and with all their might again today.*
**[23:19] ---**
Thank you for waiting!
