[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!
