    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.
