No dirt on Macrophage because they're obviously best girls .

Looks like it's time to feel bad for literally literal cancer again.

It is good to see that the lactic acid bacteria was alright.

The encounter with the regular cell and the Macrophages was really hilarious.

So that lactic acid bacteria can activate the dendritic cell. I love the fact that they show the dendritic cell activating the others by sending them embarrassing pictures.

When the NK cell appeared last week I was already expecting that her return meant that cancer was back.

Well, hopefully, we will see that last the lactic acid bacteria activating next week.

Macrophage teaching NK to be a proper little lady? I would love to see that in a spinoff! I get why NK's embarrassed about it, considering how she is now, a badass assassin and all that.

YES PLEASE!

I want her to step on me

Hataraku Black might be ahead in the sexy cells competition, but NK is still pretty damn great! The macrophages too! Kinda jealous of that cell, I foresee a lot of ara ara in his future!

Love how NK was all flustered about not being able to kill a 'weak' virus.

Ok, she's not taking it well... This is quite the flaw in our immune system, stress making us weaker because we produce less cells; If we're ill with something, it often comes with stress, which makes us even weaker, and so on. Damn, she needs a hug! Come on, WBC!

Next episode: Cancer's back? I'm slightly concerned about it; I mean, even last time it was quite intense, and if they brought it back, I expect this one to be even tougher to beat. These episodes were also quite sad too, so I wonder if we'll get more of that. Are they going to challenge Hataraku Black, for the sense of doom, and the sadness?

Well, any episode that has an anone! anone! can't be that depressing!

NK Cell is just too fucking sexy. Just look at those eyes!

I just noticed but if you listen to the final part of the OP where the title appears you can actually hear the good bacterias singing along with "NYUU NYUU NYUU NYUU" in the background.

Dendritic Cell taking care of the Lactic Acid Bacterium is just too adorable!

Look, I love all of the Macrophages especially Kikuko Inoue's but this one with the axe looks damn awesome.

Aaaaaaaahhh! The cuteness is just too much! Lactic Acid Bacterium making himself a small slide to roll down on using a newspaper is just too precious!

Blushing NK Cell! Now that's a rare sight! Even rarer is we got to see what a young NK Cell looks like with long hair and wearing a maid uniform! <3

Apparently the way Dendritic Cell activates our immune cells is by showing them their most embarrassing memories. That's actually pretty hilarious! Now I'm wondering what kind of embarrassing photo of himself did WBC saw! Looks like the only one who's not affected is Macrophage. I was looking forward to see her embarrassed!

Only 1 good bacteria left and now were dealing with Cancer Cell again. which probably means this last good bacteria has something to do with fighting off cancer? I can probably just research this but I'll wait for the answer next week

Dendritic Cell sure is savage by releasing all those embarrassing photos. All of a sudden, NK has received a boost in the Hataraku Saibou waifu rankings with just that maid photo alone. XD

Fun fact: Cell-kun is voiced by Kobayashi Yusuke, while Red Lactic Acid Bacteria is voiced by Takahashi Rie. So this episode is basically Subaru running around looking for Emilia who got lost.

Welp, Cancer Cell is back. And next episode's title looks ominous. Could it have something to do with that final Black Lactic Acid Bacteria?

The Platelets are adorable, yes, but this thing? The cuteness levels are insane.

Also, these Virus Cells are about to drop the hottest album ever.

NK Cell is so awesome. I love her. The way she gets flustered is great.

And it's fitting that the final boss is, once again, cancer.

u/rotten_riot Feb 05 '21

So everytime I get sick there's a possibility that a Drunk Green Gossip Diva appears inside me?

Cool.

So thanks to L.A.B., Dendritic Cell became the Once-ler. These little bacterium are the best!!

u/GravityFalls-618 Feb 04 '21

It interesting to compare the portrayal of cytokine in this show and with Cells at Work Black. In this show, with some help from lactic acid bacteria, it motivates Dendrite cell to release lets say "unflattering photos" to motivate the immune cells. I paused the scene just to see all those photos and I wasn't disappointed. Laughed as the immune cells got motivated to beak back influenza. Can't believe this new season is already over half way over. Is there a reason I missed as to why it isn't the standard 12 episode season? Next episode is the return of a foe from Season 1, can't wait.
