| Kidneys, one of the most intricate organs of the body of flitering blood and urine. If not cared well, the whole body could elapse in both kidney stones and emission of excessive blood, and often the surgery process...I don't want to say how excruciatingly painful it is. Even worse, the bacteria spawned, if they reach the kidneys, you can kiss your body goodbye with infectious diseases. For AA2153, that's detracting from his RBC role, whilst the other cells execute their roles in a do-or-die fashion. The sacrifice of the Silent Kidney Grandma is tear-droppingly worrisome, but the Glomeruli must continue their work. A DNA drug, huh, the 1st time I'm hearing of such healing antibiotics. Every episode, we learn to take care of our body more. |
 |
| Red Urine, one of the scariest thing that can happen to someone. Having kidney stone hurts a lot. Have had it before and the pain made it a so-much horrible experience. Another touching death of a respected senior in this episode, oh man, they really give us these a lot of time. But a mentor's sacrifical death will always be remembered by the young ones as a strong motivation to become stronger and stronger. That antibiotic looks so cool, I hope it can win easily, which it's should with such great design XD otherwise what a waste. |
 |
| Life is truly unfair in a body. It's like communism except the person's body is the country. Everyone has a role to play whether they like it or not. |
 |
| Another tough-to-watch episode.. and a painful one especially to know that this can happen to anyone.. Also.. Important characters dying in each episode huh.. Thats what Code Black environment is. |
| Hmm a bathhouse within the body huh how unusual. Though their role doesn't involve as much travel as the RB cells the role that they do is still important for the body. But man kidney stones huh this body sure is in rough shape. The destruction of the stones also had the unintentional effect of letting the bacteria enter the body huh bad luck indeed. Despite how harsh nature the granny did care for her cells in her way and it was sad to see her perish defending her charges. It was a nice gesture on RB cell's part to give them the chance to mourn for their gran. Overall an interesting ep that combined excellent action, world building and a grim look into the costs that the cells pay as a result of this code black environment. |

| Seems like that was actually the kidney stone. Kidney Stonegot crushed but the bacteria sure infiltrated the body through the urinary system. All thanks to the WBC and the antibiotic drugs that the body will likely survive another day. RIP to the old lady cell. |
 |
| How is this body still alive! I didn't know kidney cells couldn't regenerate. That's scary! This body depends on too many medications compared to the body in the original series. |
| God the thought of Kidney stones scares the shit out of me. Wouldn't want to wish that on my worst foe. Credit to this show touching on more strong or sensitive topics when it comes to the body. |
| Yeah, kidney stones are horrible, good thing this guy got the antibiotics before his kidney got wrecked. Still, it seems like he is circling the drain. |
| The beginning was so nice and calm, the Sekkekkyuu's playing was so cute, but then all hell broke loose :( This body needs an entire medical checkup, too many things going on!!! |
| The owner of the body is so lucky modern medicine is advanced enough to save his ass, otherwise he would be completely screwed. This was the most painful episode by far. Just the sight of the kidney stone tearing the ureter was enough to make me cringe in fear. |
 |
| I just love how they are using Japanese culture into the design of this body, an onsen like building for the Kidneys and a few episodes back a hostessbar as the Liver. Honestly, I am fortunate that I have never had kidney stones before, cause this episode surely delivered in explaining how incredibly painful it can be. Big Yikes. |
 |
| Yikes that what difficult to watch...I could feel the pain. Watching this series definitely makes me want to take better care of my body that's for sure. White Blood Cell though <3 |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Spring 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| Kidney stones must’ve hurt really bad, I could feel the pain just by watching this. |
 |
| My father had them nasty stones once, he was in so much pain he couldn't even stand and was on his knees the whole time, ambulance had to take him. He was lucky in a sense that he was able to get rid of them naturally in a few days (so no magic laser) but it was hell still. |
| I am really enjoying this anime. I like the tone of it more than it's originator (though that one if fun too). I have a sudden urge to take really good care of my kidneys.... wonder why? |
 |
| Man the Kidney Stones really look terrifying in this. Quite a tough episode to watch since many of the important cells are dying and like one of the cells said " If we barely keep on top of fighting this, then one day we will..." PSA Taking care of your body is importnat. |
 |
| After having watched this episode, I'm simply grateful I never suffered from kidney stones. That shit looked painful as hell. Also damn, kidney cells can't regenerate? That's kinda scary to know, not gonna lie. So next episode will be about the effects of Caffeine on our bodies, uh? Looking forward to it since I admit I consume it almost on a daily basis. |
| Baba-sama! Why!! That scene at the end, what was it? histamine? alcohol? ... forget it, i saw the preview of the next episode lol To all, drink enough water, do not overdo it with alcoholic and sugary drinks please! |

  Humans may have two eyes, but we can only see one thing Don't use the scores to see an anime ええい！ なんでも やって やる |
| For me, it´s funny how a show that´s the anime version of "Once Upon a Time... Life", that we used to see in school back in the day, has one of the best ost of the season. |
| RamaTheStrandedOtaku Nier and MGS fan. |
| antibiotics the drug wherein you would have trouble buying because it needs doctors updated true prescription! 4/5. |
 |
| Ouch that's gotta hurt bad, stones in kidney is just... |
 |
| Kidney. A silent organ. Even though its classified as one of the smallest organ in the body, its contribution just too big to handle. Because they were filtering all of the rbc, and the damage directly impact the pain. Then, without that place, imagine how dirty our rbc will look like, and how sufferred the owner with all of those damage. And man, show some mercy to those bunch of nice girls at your kidney. They were working in silence, and, yet, never felt any emotion before that infection. So, yeah, in short, fortunately the antibiotics and laser system arrived, to once again, saved the body. Rip older glomeruli cells, and keep working, in silence, y'all .... Also, man, just, how much the external help that body got from all of those healthy problem, really ridiculous xd. The brain cell looked very anxious with that state of emergency. Instead of the healthier substance, the owner of the body even secreted caffeine as the temporary temptation. Holy shit. Another bad parade for the gangs in the next episode. The second also, Platelet-chans appeared again closed all of those mess alone. Ofc, still at their 'no matter what' mode. Good respond xd. |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| Code Black really likes to kill the senpai's gaddamn, that was a great episode. I can't imagine how painful kidney stones are and I don't want to know. This body keeps getting saved by antibiotics, but there's only so much that antibiotics can do. Looks like were going to get a caffeine focused episode next week. Time to head to the main series to erase the depression. |
 |
| This episode made me feel uneasy. Kidney Stones are no joke especially when you are pissing blood. This guys body is slowly knocking on death's door. It's just a matter of time. |

| This episode was very painful to watch. As someone who doen't have this experience, I can tell it's hell. Someone once told me "You shouldn't have these kidney stones. The pain is very sharp" and by that, I can tell it's no joke. Seriously, the kidney is so silent it's scary >_< Intense episode by the way. |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| Granny Glomerulus pull a heck of a heroic sacrifice.... Messages to take away from this episode:
|
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| the MC has harem protagonist EX, too bad this isn't a romance anime, all they have is pain |
| Good episode, I didn't know that kidney cells can't regenerate, ngl that's kinda scary. Next episode is going to be about caffeine, that's going to be interesting. |
 |
| The best episode by far. I don't comment pretty often on this anime as I am kind of conflicted on the tone it tries to set and how it sets it, but when it works, it works great. It hit with the whole feeling of hopelessness from being in a doomed body and it did so well at it. |
| "THIS IS A SILENT ORGAN! ALL Y'ALL SHUT UP!" Feels in my silly cells show? WTF? This is a mood:  phantomfandom said: Next episode about Caffeine might be milder, since it's a thing that get consumed by several billions of people, it can't be that bad????? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wj_AOzSSDMM (Actually, ChubbyEmu is basically just Cells at Work Black IRL.) |
| I thank my lucky stars that I've never experienced what it's like to have kidney stones. The way it's portrayed in this episode makes it look really painful and worrisome. =( Once again, the host body relies on modern medicine to defeat the bacteria, but the commander T Cell does worry that relying on that option too much might mean that worse crisis in the future will happen. The way that the kidneys were portrayed as a traditional Japanese bathhouse was a nice touch. It was a shame that the Grandma was killed in the attack, although she did well to protect the younger Glumerulus cell. Next up will be caffeine, something that everyone consumes daily, although I guess the host body chugs it down like it has gone out of fashion, so we'll see how the side effects are shown next time. |
Meta_Yoshi said: Once again, the host body relies on modern medicine to defeat the bacteria, but the commander T Cell does worry that relying on that option too much might mean that worse crisis in the future will happen. He's not wrong. Using antibiotics means microorganisms evolve to be resistant to them and they're evolving faster than we can make new ones as it is. *Overusing* antibiotics means they evolve even faster than necessary. China is especially bad about overusing antibiotics. They pass them out like lollipops at a pediatrician's office. It's not unusual for a person to go into a clinic with some sniffles and be given a full course of broad spectrum antibiotics which is kind of like fighting field mice with nuclear bombs. |
| I seriously cried through this one. My precious glomeruli are dying and never coming back so are my brain cells. I should go to bed early T_T |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| It's only a matter of time before a superbug that can resist the antibiotics appears in the body. |
| Here we go again... |
| This episode felt like those videos on the internet of people getting hit in the nuts and you are able to feel the pain they went through. I can imagine the unbearable pain of having a kidney stone ripping through cells walls and I don't like it, especially when they inserted that tube into there. I wonder what's gonna happen to the white blood cells, it seems like they just keep getting barely saved by drugs and stuff, I wonder if there is gonna be enough white blood cells to hold off the threats or the drugs might not come one day. |

| The owner of this body needs a good beating. Making the Glumureli cell cry is a serious offense. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
Take care of yourself. Take everything in moderation. Everything that you took in excess is dangerous! |
| When they described the kidney stones I could feel it a bit. Something I hope to never experience. Also gotta feel for the cells that got washed out with the urine. btamamura said: Plus here it's referring to black companies. So nice double meaning.LeighV1 said: I think this should be given a new name called Cells at Work Code: DEATH, because some of the way the cells died in the episode looked a bit scary. All things considered, it makes sense because a medical Code Black is a deceased person being taken into the ER from what I read in the medical dictionary. It can refer to other serious crises in a hospital as well including physical threats, infant abductions, bomb threats, things like that. In any case, it's dire. |
