Episode 5 (CaW CB)

is the 5th episode of the Cells at Work! CODE BLACK! anime adaption.

Plot
Neutrophils took heavy casualties during the Gonococci's infection, so Killer T Cells are overworked. AA2153 delivers oxygen to Hair Matrix cells and bumps into U-1196 exercising despite her injuries. While the two reminisce about the battle between the Neutrophils and the bacteria and she thanks him for saving her life by distracting the Gonococci, she gets berated by passing Killer T Cells who later go haywire and attack the Hair cells after mistaking them for cancer cells, causing the hair to begin falling out. AA2153 organizes the red blood cells to deliver oxygen to the hair cells, hoping to sustain them. Helper T cell makes things worse by releasing Cytokines to make the Killer T Cells go even more berserk, and things only calm down by administration of Steroids - depicted as battle droids that restrain the T Cells. Afterwards AA2153 questions the point of working hard, while a healed U-1196 overhears cells talking about the incident with the T Cells. Yet another problem arises, this time in the urinary tract.
