[00:36] ---
    PLATELETS
[00:57] ---
    This is the inside of a human body.
SIGN    RED BLOOD CELLS:
    Red because they contain
    large amounts of hemoglobin.
    They carry oxygen
    and carbon dioxide
    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
    through such a cramped pathway.
[01:18] ---
    Oh no! It's my job!
[01:32] ---
    Construction up ahead!
    Sorry for the inconvenience!
[01:34] ---
    ROAD CLOSED
[01:36] ---
    Platelet! Hello there!

[02:10] ---
    Thank you for waiting.
[02:12] ---
    Please take your oxygen.
[02:18] ---
    Hey, I see you're hard at work
    on your own!
[02:23] ---
    Senpai!
[02:24] ---
    Looks like you've done some growing up!
[02:28] ---
    Yes!
[02:29] ---
    You have a smug look on your face,
[02:31] ---
    but that's what's expected of you, okay?
[02:34] ---
    Right.
[02:36] ---
    PULMONARY VEIN
[02:37] ---
    Keep up the good work!
[02:39] ---
    But I still worry about you.
[02:41] ---
    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.

    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.

[10:47] ---
    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.

    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.

    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.

[19:29] ---
    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,
[21:36] ---
    a cleaner
[21:38] ---
    and also an assassin.
[21:47] ---
    Macrophage wears many hats
[21:51] ---
    as you can see!
