Natural Killer Cell (ナチュラルキラー細胞, Nachuraru Kirā Saibō) [also known as NK] is a minor character in Cells at Work!

Appearance[]

She is a muscular and fit woman. Her short black hair is cut unevenly and covers her right eye. She wears a black tank top, green shorts, and boots. When she’s activated by Dendritic Cell her saber will crack and reveal a purple lightsaber.

Personality[]

NK Cell is seemingly antagonistic and aggressive when it comes to her duties, as she will go as far as to threaten normal cells. At default, she is a rather sarcastic woman who prefers working independently, as she cares for her friends' safety.

She is rivals with Killer T Cell, as they are always bickering over who should complete the task and often brawl with each other. Due to this, she is easily amused when something comical happens to him.

Background[]

She is a white blood cell, specifically a Lymphocyte (Natural Killer Cell). She is tasked to identify, track, and kill cancer cells, viruses, and infected cells by moving freely from tissue to tissue.

History[]

Abilities[]

NK Cell has heightened senses compared to other lymphocytes, and it is her task to detect disguised or hidden infected cells and viruses.

  • Overall Abilities: She is extremely skilled at killing pathogenic cells. She can single-handedly finish the tasks of a few killer T cells. She is swift and strong and capable of breaking tissue walls during fights.
  • Saber Proficiency: She can professionally wield a saber sword.
  • Cytotoxic: NK Cell can kill aberrant or normal cells under discretion.
  • Adaptive Memory: She can remember previous infected cells and their attack moves for easier termination in case one of them appears again in the future.
  • Transmigrate: She is able to move freely through tissues to reach her target faster.

Trivia[]

  • Natural killer cells and killer T cells resemble comrades-in-arm because of their complementary roles for each other. This explains the close yet competitive relationship between NK Cell and Killer T Cell in the series.
