[RED, WHITE] Here we go!
[NARRATOR] "Cancer Cell II, Part 2"
[HARMFUL BACTERIA A] All right,
how do we wanna kick this off?
[HARMFUL BACTERIA B] Where should the first slash go?
[NARRATOR] Harmful Bacteria.
Pathogenic E. coli, staphylococci,
clostridium and a like cause proteins to degrade
and produce toxic byproducts.
They are detrimental to the human body in a variety of ways.
Oh, wow!
When it comes to evil, you harmful bacteria
really are showmen!
You guys are total pros!
Letting the guy imagine all the ways you're gonna torture him?
Talk about a one-way ticket to despairville!
You take requests?
How 'bout slamming him against the wall with your tentacles?
[NARRATOR] Opportunistic Pathogens.
Bacteroides, non-pathogenic E. coli,
eubacterium and the like
are all bacteria which do neither good nor harm.
They make up roughly 70% of the bacteria in the intestines.
[HARMFUL BACTERIA B laughs]
[HARMFUL BACTERIA B] Pipe down, peanut gallery!
I'm trying to think up the most horrific way
to torment this cell in the name of evil,
so don't distract me!
[PATHOGEN B] So brutal!
I'm getting goosebumps!
Well, I, for one, can't blame you opportunistic bacteria.
If I saw such stylishly evil souls as ours,
I'm not sure I could keep from gawking myself. Ha.
Feast your eyes!
Do it, bossman!
You are so cool!
[HARMFUL BACTERIA B] All right, what should I do?
Start dismembering you from the fingertips?
[gasps]
Yes, that's it.
First, the eyes!
[HARMFUL BACTERIA B yells]
[HARMFUL BACTERIA B] Aw, crap.
White blood cells!
[4989] Sorry that was so close, Cell Kid!
[ORDINARY CELL] Huh?
You got a lotta nerve, makin' yourselves at home
in the biggest immune system in the entire body!
We're about to show you damn germs
why that's a bad idea!
[NARRATOR] Intestinal immunity.
The ability to fight off and eliminate bacteria and viruses
that have invaded the body is called immunity.
The digestive tract acts as a barrier
to protect against infection.
It is said to be home to upwards
of 50% of the body's immune system.
Wh-What should we do, Harmful Bacterium?
[HARMFUL BACTERIA B] Hold your ground, unsightly one!
Heh. We've nothing to fear, after all.
There is great strength in numbers!
[4989] Where'd all these come from?
These stunningly numerous opportunistic bacteria
have allied themselves with me.
And an environment we harmful bacteria control...
You should be mortified that you were ever rash enough
to show your idiotic faces for a second!
[ORDINARY CELL whimpers]
[HARMFUL BACTERIA B] Numbers! The symbol of power!
There's no greater aesthetic for us bacteria
than victory through sheer numbers!
[laughing]
[HARMFUL BACTERIA B] Uh? Huh?
[PATHOGEN B] Hm?
[PATHOGEN B squealing]
[HARMFUL BACTERIA B] Huh?
[gasps]
[screams]
[LAB] Nyuuuu!
A-Are those good bacteria?
[NARRATOR] Good bacteria.
Lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus gasseri,
Lactobacillus bifidus and many more boost immunity
and stimulate intestinal activity.
Their actions are beneficial to the health of the human body.
[LAB] Nyuuuuuu!
[screams]
Unbelievable.
Where did all this bothersome good bacteria come from?
You there, Opportunistic Bacteria! What are you doing?
Stop your dawdling and get rid of the-- Ah!
[PATHOGEN A] Excuse me?!
Environment's changed, fancy-boy:
You're not bossing us around anymore.
You're darn right!
That "stylishly evil" stuff was stupid from the very start!
We don't need some big-headed jerk making the rules!
This is the dawn of the Age of Good Bacteria!
A beautiful and wholesome era
where we opportunistic can truly belong!
[NARRATOR] Nature of opportunistic bacteria.
Aggressive or docile depending on whether
harmful or good bacteria dominates.
[PATHOGEN A] So... I was thinking...
Now we can all get along and be bestest friends
in our brand-new home!
Yeah, that's not happening.
Any germ guilty of unlawful entry's gotta get the hell out!
Pretty sure it should be a little safer for us out here.
Big Sister, look at that!
[RED BLOOD CELL] Huh?
Whoa. Is it just me, or has something changed?
It's easy to breathe again!
That's right!
[chuckles]
[RED BLOOD CELL] That reminds me.
It's because there's so much harmful bacteria here.
Toxic gas. The bacterial balance in the gut must be off.
Likely, harmful bacteria are outweighing the others.
That's bound to cause a few problems.
[RED BLOOD CELL] I wonder if Mr. White Blood Cell is all right.
Memory T Cell! NK!
[CANCER CELL] Don't worry.
I'm not planning on killing them.
Eat this!
[CANCER CELL laughs]
[1146] Stop! Let them go!
[yells]
[1146] Cancer Cell!
Why are you doing this? Why won't you just fight me?
You dragged me here, so let's fight!
I don't want that.
Because I like how self-contradictory you are.
Like me, writhing within the confines
of your preordained destiny.
And I don't want to kill a friend.
Now, you on the other hand...
[CANCER CELL yells]
...I wanna see you suffer!
Because you called me and my kind bugs!
[1146] Stop it!
Hasn't he suffered enough yet?! Leave Memory T alone!
[CANCER CELL chuckles]
[CANCER CELL] I can't tell you how glad I am
that I brought the three of you here.
I really do like you, White Blood Cell.
There's so much I wanna talk with you about.
But Memory T and NK, I hate you both.
I want nothing more than to
demolish everything you hold dear.
But I can turn emotion into energy,
and acquire exponential power far sooner
than I ever imagined.
If I divide once, the power doubles.
Divide again, and it doubles again.
And with a mere 30 divisions, we're looking at, oh, about...
...a billion of my friends!
[chuckles]
[1146 gasps]
[CANCER CELL] Try and stop me if you can,
my poor, pathetic, oh-so-hard-working immune cells.
[MEMORY T-CELL] Takin' that victory lap
a little soon, aren'tcha?
[ALL gasp]
[MEMORY T-CELL] I still have...
...a little trick up my sleeve...
One powered... by my overflowing memories...
My ultimate secret technique!
[1146] Secret technique?
[NK CELL] That moron... What's he try to--?
[MEMORY T-CELL] You wanna know the name?
[chuckles]
The T-Cell Ultimate Secret Technique
known as the Perforin Cannon Punch!
[1146] T-Cell Per... What?
[NK CELL] Huh? T... Huh?
That didn't land the way you'd hoped.
Ultra T-Cell Perverted Cretin Panties, you called it? Really?
[MEMORY T-CELL] Perforin Cannon Punch, dammit!
[REGULATORY T-CELL] Secret technique?
[NARRATOR] The thymus.
The lymphoid organ
where precursor T-Cells are differentiated,
and then mature into full-fledged T-Cells.
[clapping]
[KILLER T-CELL] Huh?
Way to go, man, you're really on fire!
And here I was ready to write you off as a lost cause.
That was a fluke.
But I'm gonna keep on polishin' my skills,
then you'll see what "on fire" really means.
But you're already-- Ah, I shouldn't say it.
Ah, come on, spit it out!
Uh.. Well...
The thing is, I'm thinkin' that a cell of your caliber
just might be able to master
that ultimate secret T-Cell technique.
There's a secret... T-Cell technique?
[CLASSMATE A] Yeah.
It's called "The T-Cell Ultimate Secret Technique"...
Perforin... Cannon Punch!
[NARRATOR] Perforin.
An incredibly powerful chemical released by killer T-Cells
when attacking infected cells.
Only when a T-Cell's desire to protect the world is at its peak
can they gather the strength to unleash
this unstoppable and legendarily powerful special move.
They say that whoever's on the receiving end
of its devastating, obliterating might
is blasted away like they were smashed with an enormous fist.
Ultimate Secret Technique...
A massive punch powered by emotion.
T-Cell Ultimate Secret Technique,
Perfmrmmrn... Cannon Punch!
Ah, no, I mangled it...
[CLASSMATE B] Oh, wow, he's really practicing it.
Can't believe that dumbass really swallowed that story.
Like a move like that really exists!
[BOTH laughing]
...Cannon Panty!
Oh, crap, cramped up!
[yelps]
[CLASSMATE C] What are those guys doing?
[CLASSMATE D] Looking down on someone
to build themselves up.
Just ignore that pair of morons.
[MEMORY T-CELL yells]
[MEMORY T-CELL] You are already dead.
[CANCER CELL] Ahh...
[yelling]
[MEMORY T-CELL] Eat this!
T-Cell Perforin Cannon Punch!
Perforin Cannon Punch!
[gasps]
[chuckles]
[gasps]
[CANCER CELL] Huh?
[screaming]
[MEMORY T-CELL] It really...
...worked...
Wh... What the hell... was that absurd move just now?
Regulatory... Regulatory T-Cell!
You're supposed to suppress his attacks!
I just saw you dodge!
Protecting me's supposed to be your job,
so hurry up and do--
Clearly I should've known better.
This was a case of mistaken identity.
[CANCER CELL] Huh?
[REGULATORY T-CELL] You are not a cell that warrants protection.
[grunts]
I have now, at long last, recognized my error.
[REGULATORY T-CELL] Upon closer inspection,
I can see that you are not a cell,
but rather an "ell." See?
[MEMORY T-CELL, NK CELL] Seriously?!
[NARRATOR] Regulatory T-Cell's role.
Once she's perceived a change in a cancer cell,
Regulatory T-Cell no longer recognizes it
as a cell to be protected.
[CANCER CELL] Because I'm an "ell," and not a "cell"?
Really?
Yes, that is correct.
[CANCER CELL] I'm not "a cell that warrants protection," huh?
Well, guess that means you're no longer on my side.
That's just fine by me.
If that's what really you think,
Regulatory T-Cell, then so be it.
But... I'm gonna need you to stay out of my way!
Told ya, didn't I? I know every trick in your book!
[NK CELL] Nailed it!
But do you remember what I told you?
Slashing at me is useless!
[NK CELL] You gotta stop making me repeat myself!
I know all of your tricks. Now it's just a matter of-- Huh?
Oh, what's wrong? Is this a trick you've never seen before?
[gasps]
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
[CANCER CELL] All right, immune cells,
I think it's time we finished this.
Tch!
You're dead!
[yells]
[NK CELL yells]
Why are you so sturdy?!
[MEMORY T-CELL gasps]
[CANCER CELL laughing]
[CANCER CELL] It won't be long now.
This is... the end.
[chuckles]
[roars]
So begins our new world. Now we can be free!
And...
...all of the suffering can end.
[NK CELL] The only thing ending is you!
Huh?
[gasps]
[MEMORY T-CELL, NK CELL] You miserable cancer cell.
Die!
[CANCER CELL] I told you,
no matter how many times you slash and stab me...
[gasps]
[CANCER CELL] My wings! Wh-Why?
I can't maintain my strength.
The boost I was getting, it's gone!
But why?
[1146] The intestinal environment's changed,
so the harmful bacteria-produced toxins
that were empowering you are dwindling.
[CANCER CELL] Huh?
White Blood Cell... did you--?
[CANCER CELL] You got me...
Guess that means I lost again, huh?
But... that's okay...
I'm so happy that I was killed by a dear friend,
instead of slaughtered by someone I hate.
It's much better this way.
Goodbye, my... kindhearted assassin...
White Blood Cell...
And that should do it!
[ORDINARY CELL] You guys...
You've all gotten so big!
Nyu!
--Nyu! --Nyu!
Nyu, nyu, nyu! Nyu!
[NARRATOR] Lactic Acid Bacteria.
A type of good bacteria that support the human body's health
and have various characteristics.
[YELLOW LAB] Nyu?
I'm okay, really.
Nyu, nyu, nyu!
It's such a relief to see you're safe!
Nyu!
Thank you so much for saving me.
Nyu?
Nyu-nyu!
[LAB] Nyu, nyu, nyu!
[MEMORY T-CELL] The cancer cell has been vanquished!
[KILLER T-CELLS cheering]
Way to go, squad leader!
It actually worked!
It certainly did.
[grumbles]
[BLACK LAB] Nyu!
[GOBLET T-CELL] Whoa! Amazing!
[INTESTINAL EPITHELIAL CELL] Just look at him repair
the intestinal wall for us!
Nyu!
[NARRATOR] How lactic acid bacteria work.
It's said that some lactic acid bacteria
directly stimulate the intestinal epithelial cells
to help maintain the intestinal tract's barrier functions.
Look at you go! Awesome work!
You guys are totally improving the intestinal environment!
[BLACK LAB] Nyu!
You sure did a good job, too, kid.
Huh? Me?
If you hadn't returned those lactic acid bacteria
to their comrades,
the intestinal environment wouldn't have improved.
You rescued all of us. Thank you.
[ORDINARY CELL] Jeez.
Just once, I want someone to say,
"Oh, thank you for rescuing me!"
What I wouldn't give to hear that.
[ORDINARY CELL] So even I...
Even I played a part in saving everybody?
Yeah!
--[BLACK LAB] Nyu! --[ORDINARY CELL yelps]
[NARRATOR] Intestinal environment and immunity.
Three different types of bacteria reside here:
good, harmful, and opportunistic.
The intestinal environment changes
whenever there's a shift in their balance.
When the number of good bacteria increases,
immunity receives a boost.
Nyu, nyu!
[NARRATOR] Intestinal flora.
There are good, harmful, and opportunistic bacteria
residing in the intestinal tract.
They comprise hundreds of billions of bacteria
from hundreds of different species.
Because these bacteria look like a flowerbed
of various plant colonies,
when gathered in the intestinal tract,
they are called intestinal flora.
[ORDINARY CELL] So this...
This is the world you guys live in, huh?
We're totally drenched.
[ORDINARY CELL] Yeah.
[ORDINARY CELL] Goodbye, Lactic Acid Bacteria.
Oh! Mr. White Blood Cell! Thanks for your hard work!
[1146] Yeah, you too!
I'm so glad to see you're all right after all that craziness.
[1146] Back at'cha!
Oh, that's right!
So I've been out delivering nutrients,
which has taken me all over the body today and, uh, well...
[1146] Hm?
You know that apartment belonging
to that cell in the pharynx?
You would not believe what's happened to the place!
[1146] Huh?
Look at all these missed delivery notices.
I'm in real trouble now. How long can I go without food?
[stomach growls]
I should probably send him a snack later.
[RED BLOOD CELL] And we will do our absolute best
to get his nutrients delivered as soon as possible!
Right, I know you will.
[KOHAI RED BLOOD CELL] Hey, Senpai!
[1146] Hmm?
Time for us to get back to our route!
[RED BLOOD CELL] Oh, okay!
All right, Mr. White Blood Cell, if you will excuse me!
Right, later!
[MEMORY T-CELL] All right, Naive Cells! Watch closely!
In a moment, my punch will transform...
...to the T-Cell Ultimate Secret Technique!
[MEMORY T-CELL yells]
Prefrindle... Cannon Puch!
Messed it up a little!
That just looks like a regular punch to me.
Yep.
[MEMORY T-CELL] One more time!
Parfyorin... Can Pu--!
[NARRATOR] Inside the human body,
there are roughly 37 trillion cells
working as hard as they can for yet another day.
[yelping]
[RED BLOOD CELL] Thank you for waiting!
Here is your oxygen for the day!
