[00:19] ---
    The internal security here is a total joke!
[00:22] ---
    All right! I'm lovely today, too! If I may say so
    myself, I'm just too cute for a germ!
[00:27] ---
    And how adorable!
[00:30] ---
    There's no Immune Cell that could possibly
    attack such an adorable germ like me!
[00:34] ---
    When I catch him off guard with my cuteness,
    I'm going to go, "Blam! Pow!"
[00:39] ---
    It's like I've taken over this body!
[00:45] ---
    Die, you damn germ!
[00:50] ---
    WHITE BLOOD CELL
[02:34] ---
    This is the inside of a human body.
[02:47] ---
    Hello, Macrophage!
[02:50] ---
    Oh my!
[02:52] ---
    Good afternoon!
[02:53] ---
    FRAGILE
    CONDENSED GAS
[02:54] ---
    I see that you're full of energy today, too.
[02:56] ---
    Thank you very much!
[02:59] ---
    And I see that you're working hard
    as a good senpai!
[03:02] ---
    No, I wouldn't go that far!
    No, really, seriously—
[03:09] ---
    You're in the way! What are you doing,
    wandering around like this? Are you lost again?
[03:13] ---
    I'm so sorry, Killer T Cell.
[03:20] ---
    We're the invincible T Cells!
[03:23] ---
    Are you okay, Senpai?
[03:27] ---
    Hey, I'm fine!
[03:28] ---
    ARTERY
[03:29] ---
    Roughly 37 trillion cells are working energetically
    and with all their might again today.
[03:45] ---
    EPISODE 1:
    BUMP
[03:46] ---
    "Bump."
[03:50] ---
    Th-Th-Th-Thank you... for waiting!
[03:56] ---
    CELL
[03:57] ---
    I've come to deliver
    your nutrients and oxygen!
[04:01] ---
    Hey, I appreciate your hard work.
[04:03] ---
    CELL
[04:05] ---
    TWITCH
[04:05] ---
    Thank you very much!
[04:05] ---
    STING STING
[04:08] ---
    S-Sorry about making you come
    through such cramped quarters.
[04:13] ---
    Oh no! It's my job!
[04:15] ---
    Y-Your face is all scraped up,
    so take care, okay?
[04:20] ---
    All righty.
[04:22] ---
    Hey, look who showed up here
    but Red Blood Cell!
[04:25] ---
    Hey! I know you!
[04:27] ---
    You're White Blood Cell's friend!
[04:29] ---
    Hey there!
[04:31] ---
    Listen, I hope you don't mind my asking,
    but have you seen 1146?
[04:35] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    I haven't seen him in a while.
[04:38] ---
    Are you looking for him?
[04:40] ---
    Yeah. He's been pretty slammed
    with work lately,
[04:44] ---
    so I'm worried that he might be
    feeling run-down or in a foul mood.
[04:48] ---
    I thought I'd ask him to go for tea
    and calm him down!
[04:51] ---
    Is that right? Sounds good to me!
[04:54] ---
    Well, hey, I'm embarrassed
    to sound so patronizing, you know!
[04:58] ---
    Don't give it another thought!
[05:01] ---
    Hey, but maybe there's no need
    for you to be so worried.
[05:05] ---
    The last time I saw him, he was taking it easy,
    sipping on some yummy-looking germ soup!
[05:06] ---
    GERM SOUP
[05:10] ---
    I think he might be better
    at switching gears than we think.
[05:14] ---
    You know how grounded White Blood Cell is!
    I'm sure he's taking care of himself just fine!
[05:23] ---
    4989?
[05:25] ---
    Sorry. It's just that I had no idea there were
    any Red Blood Cells looking out for us like that.
[05:32] ---
    I mean, I never even dreamed it!
[05:34] ---
    I was so moved,
    I just broke down into tears!
[05:36] ---
    Hey, come on! You're embarrassing me!
[05:40] ---
    Knowing how grounded White Blood Cell is,
    I bet he's sipping tea right now, looking like this!
[05:40] ---
    RELAXING TEA
[05:45] ---
    THIS TEA
    IS SO GOOD
[05:46] ---
    This tea is so good!
[05:48] ---
    I think you're right!
[05:53] ---
    You're not getting away!
[05:57] ---
    W-W-W-Wait! Take a good look!
[05:59] ---
    How dare you assault a lovely germ like me!
[06:04] ---
    This White Blood Cell...
[06:06] ---
    is bonkers!
[06:07] ---
    His deadly accuracy at top speed,
[06:09] ---
    those devastating attacks that seem
    to be cutting off all worldly desires...
[06:12] ---
    He's my enemy, but I applaud him!
[06:17] ---
    This is U-1146
    of the White Blood Cell Neutrophil Division.
[06:20] ---
    The invading Bacteria have been exterminated.
[06:26] ---
    No matter what kind of germ it is,
    it will be obliterated without mercy.
[06:29] ---
    That's our job.
[06:32] ---
    We can't let even a single one
    slip through the cracks.
[06:35] ---
    No matter what!
[06:45] ---
    S-So sorry! I guess
    I got in your way, didn't I?
[06:48] ---
    Hey! No, not at all!
[06:50] ---
    I should be apologizing for scaring you.
    I'll clean this up right away and leave.
[06:54] ---
    Oh no, that's all right!
[06:57] ---
    The thing is, I'm training
    to become a strong Platelet right now.
[07:01] ---
    I can't put this down
    under any circumstances!
[07:04] ---
    Huh? Training?
[07:06] ---
    Would you mind tossing that
    coagulation factor my way, please?
[07:09] ---
    So I can catch it!
[07:10] ---
    Uh, sure. I don't mind at all.
[07:13] ---
    Can you handle it?
[07:14] ---
    Thank you so much!
[07:16] ---
    I'll be fine!
[07:18] ---
    All right.
[07:19] ---
    Here!
[07:22] ---
    STUMBLE STUMBLE
[07:24] ---
    BAM
[07:25] ---
    Hey!
[07:26] ---
    Plop!
[07:26] ---
    PLOP
[07:27] ---
    Are you okay?
[07:28] ---
    Plop...
[07:30] ---
    Looks just like her!
[07:31] ---
    I-I'm all right.
    I'm so sorry to worry you.
[07:35] ---
    She's fighting back tears!
    I'll pick those up for you now, okay?
[07:40] ---
    Still, this is a White Blood Cell
    migration route, you know.
[07:43] ---
    Did you lose your way
    during training, maybe?
[07:46] ---
    BLUSH BLUSH
[07:48] ---
    Just like her.
[07:49] ---
    PLATELETS
[07:51] ---
    I don't usually see you alone like this.
[07:54] ---
    What happened? Did you get into a fight
    with that kid you're always with?
[07:56] ---
    Th-That's not it at all!
    Leader is such a kind girl!
[07:58] ---
    You see, you see...
[08:02] ---
    It's just that I'm so weak.
[08:07] ---
    The other day...
[08:10] ---
    when we were practicing primary
    blood clotting inside the bone marrow...
[08:16] ---
    Are you okay?
[08:19] ---
    Plop!
[08:19] ---
    PLOP
[08:21] ---
    Are you all right?
    Leader? Backward Cap?
[08:24] ---
    So, they call you Backward Cap, huh?
[08:28] ---
    Since we're so tiny, at work, we clump together
    to make up for our lack of height.
[08:34] ---
    And there's nothing more important
    than working as one...
[08:39] ---
    But since I'm twice as weak
    as the next Platelet,
[08:41] ---
    I was always dragging everyone else down.
[08:44] ---
    Even so, everyone still kept
    cheering me on, but...
[08:49] ---
    So, I come to check on my apprentices...
[08:51] ---
    and what exactly is this I'm seeing?
[08:56] ---
    SNACK
[08:56] ---
    Th-That voice!
[08:59] ---
    M-Master!
[09:02] ---
    Who would've thought that among my apprentices,
    I'd still find an underdeveloped useless kid like you?
[09:09] ---
    Out there in the real world,
    "I can't do it" just won't cut it!
[09:13] ---
    Make sure you've whipped yourself into shape
    by the next hemorrhage!
[09:17] ---
    Okay!
[09:19] ---
    What I want is strength!
[09:21] ---
    That's why I'm carrying twice
    the normal load of coagulation factors...
[09:25] ---
    to get myself into shape!
    I-It's so heavy!
[09:27] ---
    TREMBLE
    TREMBLE
[09:29] ---
    CLENCH
[09:29] ---
    I see. I really hope
    you can become stronger!
[09:34] ---
    But...
[09:35] ---
    She yelled at me,
    but Master's absolutely right.
[09:39] ---
    I might end up thwarting the others
    during a real mission because I'm incompetent.
[09:44] ---
    So, I've made up my mind
    not to go back until I've gotten stronger.
[09:51] ---
    Is that right?
[09:53] ---
    Well, but there's no need to panic, right?
[09:59] ---
    Backward Cap, you have the positive mindset
    to work hard at it, don't you?
[10:03] ---
    As long as there's one of you like that,
[10:06] ---
    it'll inspire the others to follow suit,
    and then you can all do a great job.
[10:09] ---
    There's no way
    that you'd be thwarting them...
[10:12] ---
    so why don't you go on back
    and see how training together works out?
[10:17] ---
    You really think so?
[10:19] ---
    I see!
[10:28] ---
    Look, we're close to the epidermis now.
[10:30] ---
    Oh, wow!
[10:31] ---
    This is the main road
    along the temporal vein!
[10:36] ---
    Hey! White Blood Cell!
[10:40] ---
    Hey, long time no see!
[10:42] ---
    Hey, Red Blood Cell!
[10:44] ---
    Oh, it's Platelet's friend.
[10:48] ---
    This is Backward Cap.
[10:50] ---
    Hello, Backward Cap!
[10:53] ---
    Hello!
[10:54] ---
    What a coincidence! Just a minute ago,
    we were wondering how you were doing—
[11:02] ---
    What the cell's going on?
    An external injury? Where's the wound?
[11:08] ---
    Every capillary vein in the area is ruptured!
[11:14] ---
    Red Blood Cell!
[11:15] ---
    Don't worry about me!
[11:18] ---
    White Blood Cell...
[11:19] ---
    Take Backward Cap!
[11:21] ---
    Gotcha!
[11:22] ---
    Please give it all you've got!
[11:26] ---
    Will she be all right?
[11:28] ---
    Yeah. No need to worry.
[11:31] ---
    She's sure toughened up!
[11:33] ---
    No. 1146!
[11:36] ---
    So, this is where you've been all this time, huh?
[11:39] ---
    Hey, No. 4989, are we under attack?
    This is an attack, right?
[11:42] ---
    Hold up, No. 1146. Haven't you noticed?
[11:45] ---
    This isn't like any of the other times.
[11:47] ---
    The blood cells should be flying
    out of the wound, but look!
[11:50] ---
    It's like we've been thrown into
    some kind of zero gravity space!
[11:54] ---
    What the...
[11:57] ---
    I see!
[11:58] ---
    That's right!
[11:59] ---
    This means that there's no wound!
[12:02] ---
    And this is the head area!
[12:04] ---
    So, this must be...
[12:05] ---
    a bump, then?
[12:07] ---
    Bump.
[12:09] ---
    A lump-like protrusion caused by swelling
    and bleeding on the outer skull.
[12:09] ---
    BUMP
[12:21] ---
    Stop the internal bleeding...
[12:24] ---
    GRIP
[12:24] ---
    Looks like it's time for me to step up!
[12:27] ---
    That's what I like to hear!
[12:29] ---
    Give it your all, Backward Cap!
[12:33] ---
    Right!
[12:34] ---
    I'll do my best!
[12:37] ---
    And as for us Neutrophils...
[12:40] ---
    No. 4989! You ready?
[12:41] ---
    Yeah! I know what to do!
[12:45] ---
    Internal bleeding is a hemorrhage
    occurring under the skin.
[12:49] ---
    Which means that there's no wound
    that can serve as a pathway for enemy intruders.
[12:53] ---
    In other words...
[12:55] ---
    what we can do as Neutrophils is...
[12:59] ---
    nothing.
[13:00] ---
    All right! Let's work hard
    at our jobs today, too!
[13:04] ---
    Okay!
[13:08] ---
    Cells at Work!!
[13:13] ---
    Cells at Work!!
[13:16] ---
    All right, everybody, listen up!
[13:20] ---
    This is internal bleeding,
    but it's the same job as always.
[13:24] ---
    We're going to assemble in the ruptured area,
    form a primary blood clot...
[13:28] ---
    then form a secondary blood clot by sticking the Red and
    White Blood Cells together with fibrin, to stop the bleeding!
[13:34] ---
    We have a wide area to cover,
    so it won't be easy, but let's do our best!
[13:38] ---
    Okay!
[13:41] ---
    There's damage here, too!
[13:43] ---
    Anyone who's free, please come over here!
[13:45] ---
    It's clotted!
[13:46] ---
    We can cast the fibrin now!
[13:49] ---
    Please bring us the coagulation factors!
[13:51] ---
    Okay!
[13:54] ---
    The coagulation factor!
[13:55] ---
    Backward Cap, you have
    a really great attitude!
[13:59] ---
    She's right!
    Good for you, Backward Cap!
[14:02] ---
    It's not about whether you're strong or not!
    Sometimes a good attitude's all you need!
[14:06] ---
    Bad news, everybody! Listen, listen!
[14:09] ---
    We don't have enough coagulation factors!
[14:13] ---
    Don't worry! Backward Cap's on it—
[14:14] ---
    Listen, listen! It's not that!
[14:16] ---
    The really bad news we're talking about is...
[14:19] ---
    Look at that!
[14:21] ---
    That's...
[14:23] ---
    Sorry!
[14:25] ---
    The damaged area is too big
    for us to close up, right?
[14:29] ---
    What should we do?
[14:30] ---
    Looks like we'll have to assemble far and wide
    and close the whole thing off at once.
[14:34] ---
    Everybody, gather round!
[14:35] ---
    We're going to join forces
    and form a primary blood clot together!
[14:38] ---
    Come on, you, too, Backward Cap, hurry!
[14:41] ---
    Uh-oh! Primary blood clots
    are what Backward Cap has trouble with! Jeez!
[14:45] ---
    Y-You can do it, Backward Cap!
[14:47] ---
    Who's Backward Cap?
[14:49] ---
    Plop!
[14:49] ---
    PLOP
[14:50] ---
    I see, so this gives you trouble, Backward Cap!
    Wh-What should we do?
[14:54] ---
    Is there anyone
    who can take Backward Cap's place?
[14:57] ---
    Hold on a second!
[14:59] ---
    Primary blood clot... We all need to unite
    and work as one right now, but I...
[15:03] ---
    BONK
[15:03] ---
    If I'm like this,
    I'm going to throw everyone else off, too!
[15:08] ---
    What the cell are you doing?
[15:12] ---
    Lackadaisical!
    No motivation whatsoever!
[15:14] ---
    MEGAKARYOCYTE
[15:14] ---
    What a bunch of slackers!
    Asleep at the wheel!
[15:17] ---
    Little squirts!
[15:19] ---
    Megakaryocyte.
[15:21] ---
    The cell that produces Platelets.
[15:24] ---
    The largest of all the cells in the bone marrow.
[15:28] ---
    - Master Megakaryocyte!
    - Master!
[15:30] ---
    So, I'm worried and come to check on you,
    and what do I find?
[15:33] ---
    Seriously, you call yourselves my apprentices?
[15:36] ---
    I know I taught you!
[15:37] ---
    That since there aren't much in the way
    of defensive barriers like muscles or fat on the skull,
[15:41] ---
    the veins are easily ruptured
    by external trauma!
[15:43] ---
    That because of all the capillaries,
    bleeding there leads to catastrophe!
[15:46] ---
    That it's dangerous when the internal bleeding
    can't be stopped! Remember?
[15:49] ---
    W-We're very sorry, Master!
[15:53] ---
    That's not the way to go, Megakaryocyte!
[15:54] ---
    Putting pressure on Backward Cap now
    will only backfire in the end!
[15:57] ---
    Ugh, the wind's smothering my voice!
[16:00] ---
    I said, who is this Backward Cap anyway?
[16:03] ---
    Just look at that!
[16:05] ---
    Thanks to that tongue-lashing,
    she's curled up into a ball!
[16:07] ---
    I don't get it!
[16:09] ---
    To me, it just seems like she's only yelling
    because it makes her feel good.
[16:13] ---
    But could it be that she has the ability to bring
    the Platelets together and resolve this issue?
[16:19] ---
    Does she actually have a plan?
[16:21] ---
    All right.
[16:23] ---
    Now, how can I goad
    these useless brats into action?
[16:27] ---
    Okay, I've got it.
[16:30] ---
    WHOOSH
[16:31] ---
    Listen up, little ones!
[16:34] ---
    Ready?
[16:36] ---
    Whoever does the best job today...
[16:40] ---
    will get this special "You Did a Great Job
    as a Platelet / Good Kid" gold medal!
[16:46] ---
    WOW
[16:49] ---
    I'm going to try harder!
[16:50] ---
    Get to it!
[16:51] ---
    - A medal!
    - A medal!
[16:53] ---
    A gold medal!
[16:56] ---
    She's bribing them.
[16:59] ---
    Show me what you're made of, little ones.
[17:01] ---
    Let's see what you can do!
[17:04] ---
    Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
[17:08] ---
    Here are the coagulation factors!
[17:10] ---
    Okay!
[17:11] ---
    BOOM
[17:12] ---
    Primary Platelet blood clot!
[17:14] ---
    Ah, impressive clumping.
[17:18] ---
    You're compensating for what you lack
    in numbers with your technique.
[17:20] ---
    Not only that, but look at that total stability.
[17:23] ---
    I don't know if it's your thirst
    for a gold medal or just plain guts...
[17:26] ---
    Right!
[17:29] ---
    All righty!
[17:30] ---
    Here! The last of the coagulation factors!
[17:32] ---
    - Thanks!
    - Sure!
[17:35] ---
    All right, now we can...
[17:37] ---
    SLIP
[17:39] ---
    What the...
[17:41] ---
    O-Oh no! Our precious coagulation factor!
[17:47] ---
    Come back here!
[17:51] ---
    Backward Cap!
[17:52] ---
    Backward Cap!
[17:57] ---
    SNAP
[17:58] ---
    I did it! I got it!
[18:02] ---
    Everybody! We're going to do
    that clumping move now!
[18:05] ---
    But that formation is so hard,
    we've never managed to do it even once!
[18:10] ---
    Don't worry!
[18:11] ---
    I'm sure we can make it this time...
[18:13] ---
    if we all work together as one!
[18:16] ---
    O-Okay!
[18:19] ---
    Go!
[18:23] ---
    Now, that's an incredible super skill!
[18:26] ---
    Backward Cap!
[18:27] ---
    I'm coming!
[18:35] ---
    Don't let go!
[18:37] ---
    Hold onto my hand and the coagulation factor!
[18:39] ---
    Okay!
[18:40] ---
    It's all good! Don't worry, Leader!
[18:44] ---
    I'm not letting go,
    I know for sure that I won't ever let go!
[18:47] ---
    That's the spirit, Backward Cap!
    All your training is paying off now!
[18:50] ---
    You've gained a little strength
    in those arms, huh?
[18:53] ---
    Good for you!
[18:59] ---
    Excellent! What amazing cohesion!
[19:02] ---
    Look at you, rising to the occasion!
[19:04] ---
    To think that even I'm floored
    by your growth as your master!
[19:08] ---
    You little ones are truly something else!
[19:13] ---
    My little ones!
[19:14] ---
    Thanks to your efforts, we were able to keep
    today's hemorrhage from escalating,
[19:18] ---
    and we've stopped the bleeding!
[19:20] ---
    Good job! I commend you
    for your hard work!
[19:22] ---
    Yes, Master!
[19:23] ---
    But I can't make up my mind about something.
[19:27] ---
    Who it is that I should award
    the gold medal to, you know.
[19:31] ---
    And why is that?
[19:32] ---
    Because although it's true that Backward Cap
    mustered her courage and came up clutch for us,
[19:36] ---
    still, she was too sluggish before that,
    during clotting! You have to try harder, okay?
[19:44] ---
    Leader, you displayed some impressive
    supervision skills,
[19:46] ---
    but it was also you who dropped
    the coagulation factor! A careless mistake!
[19:50] ---
    HMM
[19:52] ---
    You all worked very hard,
[19:54] ---
    but it's not like I saw an ultra-good kid
    who stood head and shoulders above the rest.
[20:01] ---
    So, today I have no choice but to...
[20:08] ---
    give you all a gold medal!
[20:09] ---
    CLATTER
    CLANG
[20:10] ---
    Master!
[20:12] ---
    Yay! Yay!
[20:12] ---
    YAY
[20:16] ---
    Backward Cap...
[20:18] ---
    You really came through for us today!
[20:20] ---
    It was your efforts that brought
    everyone else together as one!
[20:24] ---
    Master!
[20:26] ---
    Since you've always been twice
    as weak as the others,
[20:29] ---
    I always worried if you'd make it or not.
    But now, you've set my mind at ease.
[20:34] ---
    Backward Cap, as an apprentice,
    you're my pride and joy!
[20:39] ---
    Master! Master!
[20:41] ---
    Hey you!
[20:43] ---
    That's a relief.
[20:45] ---
    I had no clue how that was going to turn out,
    but it looks like I worried too much.
[20:49] ---
    Backward Cap, not only do you have
    a positive attitude,
[20:53] ---
    but you also have
    great friends and a great master.
[20:56] ---
    There was no way that you wouldn't
    find a way to overcome that jam!
[21:00] ---
    Always cherish the memory of today,
    as well as that gold medal.
[21:04] ---
    Backward Cap—
[21:05] ---
    Gold medal! Gold medal!
[21:08] ---
    Gold medal!
[21:10] ---
    Gold medal!
[21:12] ---
    Master!
[21:14] ---
    See you, little ones!
    Do your best next time, too!
[21:18] ---
    Okay!
[22:53] ---
    All right! All right! All right!
[22:54] ---
    Here are more blood cells for the clot!
[22:58] ---
    White Blood Cell! Good job!
[23:02] ---
    Oh, right. So, you're safe and sound.
    That's good.
[23:05] ---
    Huh? You have an ever-so-slightly hurt look
    on your face. Are you all right?
[23:10] ---
    Sure. Hey, it's nothing.
[23:13] ---
    The mood swings this guy goes through over the most
    trivial stuff! Just because he got a little trampled on.
[23:18] ---
    Trampled on?
[23:19] ---
    Well, I'm sure it wasn't on purpose, so...
[23:21] ---
    Who was it that trampled on you?
[23:23] ---
    Well, actually...
