SIGN    RED BLOOD CELLS:
    They carry oxygen
    and carbon dioxide
    using blood circulation.
[00:36] ---
    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!
[01:05] ---
    Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
[01:09] ---
    Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave...
[01:13] ---
    So cute!
[01:15] ---
    They sure are!
[01:16] ---
    Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
[01:22] ---
    Everybody, stop!
SIGN    PLATELETS:
    A type of blood component.
    They aggregate when the blood vessels
    are damaged, and cover the wounds.

[01:29] ---
    They aggregate

[01:34] ---
    There's a stairway!
[01:37] ---
    You're right!
[01:42] ---
    Everybody, be careful!
[01:45] ---
    Okay!
[02:00] ---
    Heave-ho! Heave-ho!
[02:14] ---
    We made it down!
[02:15] ---
    Yay!
[02:19] ---
    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,
[02:27] ---
    things are peaceful

    SCRAPE WOUND
[04:03] ---
    Scrape wound.
[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!

    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.

    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:

[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!

[09:24] ---
    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!

    You guys need to get out of here now, too!
[09:50] ---
    We just hijacked this world!

[10:01] ---
    it can often lead to a variety of ailments.
[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.

[10:21] ---
    Run!
[10:23] ---
    Oh no! There's a valve!
[10:24] ---
    Open up! Somebody!
SIGN    VENOUS VALVE:

[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.

[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!
