    EPISODE 8: CANCER CELL II (PART II)
[01:31] ---
    "Cancer Cell II (Part II)."
[01:36] ---
    All right, how should we go about this?
[01:39] ---
    Where should the first slash go?
[01:41] ---
    Harmful bacteria.
[01:43] ---
    Pathogenic E. coli, Staphylococci,
    Clostridium and the like

[01:47] ---
    cause proteins to degrade
    and produce toxic by-products.

[01:50] ---
    They are detrimental to the human body
    in various ways.

[01:56] ---
    Impressive! You harmful bacteria
    are the entertainers of evil!
[02:01] ---
    Incredible! Letting him know
    what you're about to do to him...
[02:05] ---
    How insanely cruel!
[02:07] ---
    How about slamming him against the wall
    with your tentacles next?
[02:11] ---
    Opportunistic pathogens.
[02:13] ---
    Bacteroides, non-pathogenic E. coli,
    Eubacterium and the like

[02:16] ---
    are all bacteria
    which do neither good nor harm.

[02:21] ---
    They make up roughly 70 percent
    of the bacteria in the intestines.

[02:27] ---
    Shut up, opportunistic pathogens!
[02:29] ---
    I'm trying to come up with the most artistic
    way of tormenting this cell in the name of evil!
[02:34] ---
    So, don't disturb me!
[02:36] ---
    So brutal! I'm getting goosebumps!
[02:38] ---
    Well, not that I can blame you
    opportunistic bacteria
[02:42] ---
    for being enthralled by our cool evil souls.
[02:47] ---
    Watch and learn!
[02:48] ---
    - Woo-hoo!
    - Hey there, Mr. President!
[02:50] ---
    You're so cool!
[02:52] ---
    All right, what should I do?
[02:54] ---
    Should I start dismembering you
    from the fingertips?
[02:58] ---
    Okay, I've got it.
[03:00] ---
    Your eyes!
[03:07] ---
    WHITE BLOOD CELL
[03:09] ---
    Damn!
[03:11] ---
    White Blood Cells!
[03:14] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting, Cell boy!
[03:19] ---
    You've got a lot of nerve, rampaging
    around the biggest immune system in the body!
[03:23] ---
    It's punishment time, you lousy germs!
[03:27] ---
    Gut immunity.
[03:28] ---
    The ability to fight off and eliminate bacteria
    and viruses invading the body is called "immunity."

[03:34] ---
    The digestive tract acts as a barrier
    to protect against infection

[03:38] ---
    and is said to be home to upward of 50 percent
    of the body's immune system.

[03:44] ---
    Wh-What should we do, Harmful Bacterium?
[03:47] ---
    Hold your ground! So unsightly!
[03:49] ---
    Huh! We've still got...
[03:53] ---
    the edge in sheer numbers!
[03:55] ---
    What the...
    Where'd all these come from?
[03:57] ---
    This staggering number of opportunistic
    bacteria are all my allies!
[04:02] ---
    In an environment where
    the harmful bacteria hold sway...
[04:04] ---
    you should be mortified that you were ever rash
    enough to show your idiotic faces even for a second!
[04:10] ---
    Numbers! The symbol of power!
[04:12] ---
    There is no higher aesthetic
    for us bacteria than to win by numbers!
[04:42] ---
    THUNK
[04:42] ---
    POP POP
[04:42] ---
    RUMBLE
    RUMBLE
[04:42] ---
    NYUUU
[04:42] ---
    Nyuuu!
[04:43] ---
    A-Are those good bacteria?
[04:46] ---
    Good bacteria.
[04:47] ---
    Lactic acid bacterium, Lactobacillus gasseri,
    Lactobacillus bifidus and the like

[04:51] ---
    work to boost immunity
    and to stimulate intestinal activity.

[04:56] ---
    Their actions are beneficial
    for the human body's health.

[05:02] ---
    Nyuuu!
[05:07] ---
    Nyuuu!
[05:11] ---
    Nyuuu!
[05:15] ---
    How can there be so much good bacteria?
[05:18] ---
    Hey, opportunistic bacteria!
[05:20] ---
    What are you doing?
    Get rid of them already—
[05:22] ---
    TRAMPLE
    TRAMPLE
[05:23] ---
    Huh?
[05:23] ---
    CRUSH
    CRUSH
[05:25] ---
    Quit nagging, will you?
    The environment's changed, all right?
[05:28] ---
    Right! What do you mean
    by "artistic" and "cool evil"?
[05:32] ---
    Don't be full of yourselves! How troublesome!
[05:35] ---
    From now on, it will be
    the Age of Good Bacteria!
[05:37] ---
    It's time for us to find our place
    among the beautiful and wholesome bacteria!
[05:42] ---
    The nature of opportunistic pathogens.
[05:44] ---
    They ally themselves with whichever bacteria,
    good or harmful, has the upper hand.

[05:49] ---
    So... So anyway...
[05:51] ---
    FLIP-FLOP
[05:51] ---
    let's all get along and be friends, everyone!
[05:55] ---
    Not by a long shot.
[05:57] ---
    All you germs guilty of unlawful entry,
    get the cell out!
[06:04] ---
    PLATELETS
[06:10] ---
    We should feel a little safer here, huh?
[06:13] ---
    Oh look, Big Sister!
[06:15] ---
    Huh?
[06:19] ---
    Wait, something's changed?
[06:25] ---
    - It's easier to breathe!
    - Yeah!
[06:29] ---
    Come to think of it...
[06:31] ---
    This is toxic gas from the harmful bacteria
    that live in the intestines.

[06:36] ---
    The bacterial balance in the gut must be off,
    and the harmful bacteria seem to be predominant.

[06:42] ---
    CELL
[06:42] ---
    This is bound to cause some harmful effects.
[06:45] ---
    I wonder if White Blood Cell is all right.
[06:52] ---
    Memory T! NK!
[06:54] ---
    Don't worry.
[06:56] ---
    I'm not planning to kill them.
[06:58] ---
    There!
[07:01] ---
    Stop!
[07:02] ---
    Knock it off!
[07:05] ---
    Cancer Cell!
[07:07] ---
    Why? Why won't you fight me?
    Fight me!
[07:12] ---
    I don't want to.
[07:13] ---
    Because what I like about you
    is how self-contradictory you are.
[07:16] ---
    You're the same as me,
    writhing within your preordained destiny.
[07:20] ---
    I don't want to kill a friend.
[07:23] ---
    That's right. Unlike you...
[07:28] ---
    I detest you!
[07:30] ---
    Because you called me "a goddamn bug"!
[07:32] ---
    Stop! Isn't that enough?
[07:34] ---
    Step away from Memory T!
[07:42] ---
    I can't tell you how glad I am that I brought
    the three of you here.
[07:46] ---
    I like you, White Blood Cell!
[07:48] ---
    I could sit and chat with you
    about all kinds of things.
[07:50] ---
    As for Memory T and NK,
    I hate you both!
[07:53] ---
    What wouldn't I give to demolish
    everything you hold dear?
[07:57] ---
    I can turn those emotions into energy
[07:59] ---
    and acquire that power
    way sooner than I thought!
[08:03] ---
    If I divide once, it'll be double.
[08:05] ---
    Divide again, and I can double again!
[08:08] ---
    A mere thirty divisions will result...
[08:13] ---
    in more than a billion of my friends.
[08:17] ---
    Try and stop me if you can...
[08:20] ---
    my hard-working Immune Cells.
[08:25] ---
    It's too soon for a victory lap.
[08:30] ---
    I still have my...
[08:32] ---
    trump card left.
[08:35] ---
    Bursting at the seams with my memories...
[08:40] ---
    The ultimate secret technique!
[08:42] ---
    Memory T?
[08:44] ---
    That moron... What in the world is he...
[08:47] ---
    And it's called...
[08:52] ---
    The T Cell Ultimate Secret Technique...
[08:54] ---
    "Perforin Cannon Punch"!
[09:01] ---
    "T Cell Per—" What?
[09:03] ---
    Huh?
[09:04] ---
    "T..." Huh?
[09:06] ---
    What was that?
[09:08] ---
    "T Cell Puerile Cretin Panties"?
[09:12] ---
    That's "T Cell Perforin Cannon Punch"!
[09:15] ---
    Secret technique?
[09:19] ---
    The thymus.
[09:20] ---
    The lymphoid organ
    where Precursor T Cells are differentiated

[09:25] ---
    and then mature
    into full-fledged T Cells.

[09:38] ---
    Hey, you were hopeless a little while ago,
    but these days you're on fire!

[09:43] ---
    That was just dumb luck.
[09:44] ---
    But I'm going to keep grinding away
    and hone my skills. You'll see.

[09:48] ---
    Actually, the way you're going...
    Oh, but I shouldn't say it...

[09:51] ---
    Oh come on, spit it out!
[09:52] ---
    Well... See...
[09:54] ---
    I'm thinking that a cell of your caliber just might
    be able to master that ultimate secret technique.

[10:00] ---
    Ultimate secret technique?
[10:03] ---
    Yeah.
[10:03] ---
    It's called the "T Cell Ultimate Secret Technique"...
[10:07] ---
    Perforin...
[10:08] ---
    Cannon Punch!
[10:11] ---
    Perforin.
[10:12] ---
    A chemical released by Killer T Cells
    upon attacking infected cells.

[10:18] ---
    It's a legendary move
    that can only be unleashed

[10:21] ---
    when a T Cell's urge to protect the world
    intensifies to its maximum peak inside him.

[10:27] ---
    They say that whoever's on the receiving end
    of its devastating force and impact

[10:30] ---
    ends up getting blasted away
    like they were smashed with a massive fist.

[10:37] ---
    "Ultimate Secret Technique"...
[10:40] ---
    Emotions... Making your fist... Massive...
[10:44] ---
    The T Cell Ultimate Secret Technique...
[10:47] ---
    Perf... Perforin Cannon Punch!
[10:49] ---
    Whoops, I mangled it.
[10:50] ---
    Oh jeez, he's really practicing it!
[10:52] ---
    Who would've thought
    he'd swallow a dumbass story like that?

[10:55] ---
    Like that kind of move even exists!
[10:56] ---
    Perforin C-Cannon Panty!
[10:59] ---
    Oh crap, my arm cramped up!
[11:02] ---
    What are those guys doing?
[11:05] ---
    They just want to reassure themselves
    by looking down on others. What a pair of morons.

[11:34] ---
    You're not going to get your way.
[11:37] ---
    Oh?
[11:44] ---
    Eat this!
[11:45] ---
    T Cell...
[11:47] ---
    Perforin Cannon Punch!
[12:01] ---
    T Cell Perforin Cannon Punch!
[12:29] ---
    It really...
[12:31] ---
    worked!
[12:36] ---
    Wh-Wh-What the cell
    was that baffling move just now?
[12:39] ---
    Regulatory...
[12:41] ---
    Regulatory T Cell!
[12:43] ---
    You're supposed to suppress his attacks!
[12:45] ---
    Why did you just dodge now?
[12:47] ---
    It's your job to protect me—
[12:50] ---
    I should've known better.
[12:52] ---
    I seem to have misperceived you.
[12:54] ---
    Huh?
[12:56] ---
    You are not a cell
    that warrants protection.
[13:01] ---
    Now, at last, I've realized my error.
[13:07] ---
    Upon closer inspection, I can see...
[13:10] ---
    that you're not a cell...
[13:12] ---
    CLL
[13:12] ---
    but rather a "cll."
[13:14] ---
    That's what convinced you?
[13:16] ---
    Regulatory T Cell's role.
[13:19] ---
    Once she's perceived a change
    in a Cancer Cell,

[13:22] ---
    Regulatory T Cell no longer recognizes it
    as a cell to be protected.

[13:27] ---
    Because I'm a "cll," not a "cell"?
[13:31] ---
    Is that it?
[13:32] ---
    That's correct.
[13:33] ---
    And I'm not a cell
    that warrants protection, huh?
[13:37] ---
    So, that means you're no longer
    on my side, right?
[13:41] ---
    Well, I guess that's fine by me.
[13:43] ---
    If that's what you think, Regulatory T Cell,
    then that's fine by me.
[13:48] ---
    But...
[13:50] ---
    you're going to have to stay out of my way!
[13:53] ---
    I told you!
    I know all your tricks!
[13:56] ---
    CLENCH
[13:56] ---
    Nailed it!
[14:00] ---
    And I told you, remember?
[14:02] ---
    Slashing me does no good!
[14:05] ---
    Stop making me repeat myself!
[14:07] ---
    I'm telling you, I know all your tricks!
    Didn't you hear—
[14:16] ---
    What's wrong?
    I thought you knew all my tricks!
[14:26] ---
    Whoa! Whoa!
[14:28] ---
    All right, let's finish this now, Immune Cells.
[14:34] ---
    Damn!
[14:42] ---
    I'll kill you!
[14:49] ---
    Damn!
[14:50] ---
    Crap! Damn, you're hard!
[15:08] ---
    Won't be long now.
[15:10] ---
    This is...
[15:13] ---
    the end!
[15:37] ---
    The new world...
[15:40] ---
    Now we can be free!
[15:43] ---
    And...
[15:46] ---
    It's over now.
[15:49] ---
    The only thing that's over is you!
[15:56] ---
    - You goddamn bug!
    - You miserable Cancer Cell!
[15:59] ---
    - Die!
    - Die!
[16:08] ---
    I'm telling you, you can slash me,
    you can stab me, and I won't die.
[16:14] ---
    My wings! Wh-Why?
[16:22] ---
    I can't maintain my strength!
[16:25] ---
    I'm no longer getting a boost?
[16:29] ---
    But why?
[16:35] ---
    It looks like the intestinal
    environment's changed,
[16:37] ---
    so now the toxins from the harmful bacteria
    that were empowering you are dwindling.
[16:46] ---
    White Blood Cell—
[17:02] ---
    I've been defeated.
[17:05] ---
    So, I lose again, huh?
[17:09] ---
    Oh well, that's fine.
[17:12] ---
    I'd rather be killed by a friend
[17:16] ---
    than by someone I hate. This is way better.
[17:21] ---
    See you... my gentle assassin... White...
[17:26] ---
    Blood... Cell...
[17:38] ---
    All right, it's over!
[17:44] ---
    You guys...
[17:45] ---
    You've gotten so big!
[17:48] ---
    Nyuuu!
[17:51] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[17:54] ---
    Lactic acid bacteria.
[17:56] ---
    Good bacteria that work to support
    the health of the human body.

[17:59] ---
    They have a variety of features.
[18:03] ---
    Nyuuu?
[18:05] ---
    I'm okay.
[18:08] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:10] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[18:12] ---
    Thank goodness, Lactic Acid Bacterium!
[18:14] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:16] ---
    Hey, thanks for coming to save me!
[18:18] ---
    Nyuuu?
[18:20] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:22] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[18:30] ---
    The Cancer Cell has been vanquished!
[18:34] ---
    The crisis is over!
[18:36] ---
    IT REALLY WORKED...
[18:36] ---
    It really worked.
[18:37] ---
    Yes, it did.
[18:37] ---
    YES, IT DID.
[18:41] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:43] ---
    Whoa! Amazing!
[18:45] ---
    Just look at him repair
    the intestinal wall for us!
[18:48] ---
    Nyuuu!
[18:50] ---
    How lactic acid bacteria works.
[18:52] ---
    Some lactic acid bacteria directly stimulate
    the Intestinal Epithelial Cells

[18:57] ---
    to help maintain the intestinal tract's
    barrier functions.

[19:01] ---
    Lactic Acid Bacterium, you're awesome!
[19:04] ---
    Thanks to you guys,
    the intestinal environment's improving!
[19:07] ---
    Nyuuu!
[19:09] ---
    You did great, too, Cell boy!
[19:11] ---
    Huh? Me?
[19:13] ---
    Bringing those lactic acid bacteria
    back to their friends
[19:17] ---
    helped to improve
    the intestinal environment.
[19:20] ---
    It was you who rescued us. Thanks.
[19:27] ---
    Jeez. Just once in my life,
    if someone would say...

[19:29] ---
    "Thank you for rescuing me!"
[19:31] ---
    What wouldn't I give to hear those words?
[19:35] ---
    You mean I...
[19:37] ---
    I was able to help out, too?
[19:40] ---
    Yeah!
[19:41] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[19:43] ---
    Intestinal environment and immunity.
[19:45] ---
    Three different types of bacteria reside
    in the intestines. Good, harmful and opportunistic.

[19:52] ---
    The intestinal environment changes whenever
    there is a shift in the balance between them.

[19:56] ---
    When the number of good bacteria increases,
    there's a boost in immunity.

[20:00] ---
    Nyuuu! Nyuuu!
[20:08] ---
    Intestinal flora.
[20:10] ---
    There are good, harmful and opportunistic bacteria
    residing in the intestinal tract,

[20:16] ---
    comprising hundreds of billions of bacteria
    from hundreds of different species.

[20:21] ---
    Because it looks like a flower bed of colonies
    of various plants in the intestinal tract,

[20:28] ---
    it's called "intestinal flora."
[20:33] ---
    So, this...
[20:35] ---
    This is the world where you guys live, huh?
[21:09] ---
    We're totally drenched.
[21:11] ---
    Yeah.
[21:26] ---
    Goodbye...
[21:29] ---
    Lactic acid bacteria.
[21:37] ---
    Oh! White Blood Cell!
    Thanks for your hard work!
[21:39] ---
    CHOPSTICKS
[21:40] ---
    Hey there! Good work!
[21:42] ---
    Thank goodness!
    So, you're all right!
[21:45] ---
    Yeah! You, too!
[21:47] ---
    Oh, I almost forgot!
[21:48] ---
    I've been delivering nutrients,
    and I've gone all the way around...
[21:54] ---
    And the apartment belonging
    to that cell in the pharynx...
[21:57] ---
    You wouldn't believe
    what's happened to it!
[21:59] ---
    Huh?
[22:00] ---
    SINCE YOU'RE NOT
    AT HOME,
    WE'LL BE BACK LATER
    TO REPAIR YOUR DOOR.
    PLATELETS
[22:03] ---
    DELIVERY
    NOTICE
[22:04] ---
    Look at this huge pile
    of missed delivery notices!
[22:08] ---
    No food for me, then?
[22:10] ---
    GROWL
[22:13] ---
    Maybe I'll send him a snack later.
[22:15] ---
    And we'll do our best to get his nutrients
    delivered as soon as possible!
[22:20] ---
    Right, try and do that, will you?
[22:21] ---
    Hey, Senpai!
[22:24] ---
    Time to get back to work!
[22:26] ---
    Oh, okay!
[22:29] ---
    All right, White Blood Cell...
[22:30] ---
    SEEDLING SOUP
[22:30] ---
    If you'll excuse me...
[22:33] ---
    Yeah! See ya around!
[22:37] ---
    All right, Naive Cells, check this out!
[22:40] ---
    In that moment,
    my punch will transform into...
[22:43] ---
    the T Cell Ultimate Secret Technique!
[22:47] ---
    Perfavore Cannon Punch!
[22:51] ---
    SWOOSH
[22:51] ---
    Whoops, mangled it a bit!
[22:53] ---
    That just looks
    like a regular punch to me.
[22:55] ---
    I know.
[22:56] ---
    One more time!
