Ep. 5: NK Cell attacks Normal Cell while Dendritic Cell aids a bacterium against influenza
Aired on February 6, 2021
NK Cell confronts Normal Cell for insulting immune cells, but U-1146 intervenes to resolve the conflict. Meanwhile, Dendritic Cell saves a lactic acid bacterium from a storm drain and provides care. The small intestine faces an attack from mutated influenza viruses that resist immune cell defenses, causing NK Cell to collapse in despair. The rescued bacterium produces Polysaccharides that empower Dendritic Cell to generate Cytokines, depicted as embarrassing photos that shock and motivate the immune cells to defeat the virus. After parting with the bacterium, Normal Cell apologizes to U-1146 and grants permission to take the final bacterium. Finally, NK Cell reveals to U-1146 that Cancer Cell has returned.
