| Talk about a dark twist, didn't see that coming at all. Especially since RBC AA2153 had already saved him once before. That was sad. Quite the curveball, but to be honest. I should have seen it coming with this body being in such a bad shape. Dangers lay at every corner. |
 |
| Welp..This was quite the intense episode, also RIP our buddy RBC O7 Hopefully WBC will cheer up the main RBC, cuz he could definitely use some good vibes |
 |
| I tried to be serious, but seeing somebody defend stress from unfair attacks is probably the most amazing of concepts I've come across in MAL. |
| For a second i though he could saved or somebody could saved Sekkekkyuu AC1677... Man i didn't expect Best Friend die just like that... When they played the flashback, the ost, Sekkekkyuu AC1677 screaming (Junya Enoki performance was so good), this is really Depressing episode Now Sekkekkyuu AC1677 has lost his will to work and lived.... Also Judging from the preview, despair oh despair.... This Body could be dead on the end of the series... |

| Ah this was shocking and sad at the same time! |
| I still hope that he may be alive. |
 |
| So a bigass bacteria, when the stomach cell was talking about "him"/"yatsu" I thought the cell was referring to the owner of the body. Protagonist going into hyper depression now the "black company" that is the body has taken his best friend's life. I've wondered if we'll ever zoom out and see the poor body, experiencing similar stress/dangers that the cells are figuratively going through |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| This adaptation is quite cruel to keep him alive for this long. He died quite sooner in the manga. I honestly thought were going to kill him off sooner but when he kept stick around I thought maybe he'd survive. Then I saw the title of this episode and knew it was coming. Haven't heard too much talk about this anime this season. I have several series I'm generally more excited for this season too but i wish Code Black had more buzz because this is an amazing anime. 2021 really having a strong start in terms of quality anime |

| Dang, RBC friend died. Seeing MC crying was really sad to watch :(( |

What's the difference between dying at 40 and dying at 90? About 50 years of living... I don't know if you're suicidal or just trolling, but most people want to live as long as they can. Yes, in the end death takes us all, the question is when. Everyone dies because of bacteria/viruses/etc, but bad habits will definitely shorten the time it takes them to do it. Oh, and one more thing, most people with bad habits will cough alot and not feel as well as people with good habits (generally speaking), so even if they do live long, they won't enjoy it. |

| RIP RBC Schmaden Schmuki. You were the bestest of bros. |
| Damn that really took a dark turn... |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| This episode had me thinking that they're going to explore grief and mental health but the more I think about it the more I realise they probably won't. It'd be interesting to explore something like mental health in the series though. It could definitely be shown on a cellular level with serotonin and dopamine. |

| DUDE WTF HOW COULD THEY DO THIS???? I'M SO MESSED UP FROM THE END OF THE EPISODE LIKE WHAT EVEN...HOW DARE THEY.... ;_; |

I'll take 40 thank you very much. |

| R.I.P. best friend Sekkekkyuu AC1677! looks like next episode our MC Sekkekkyuu AA2153 would go all out rage and rebellion! i hope he goes power-up super saiyan bankai limitbreak hollow mode...but that is unlikely...he's just gonna be a bother to other cells striving to survive this dying body. 5/5. |

Enjoy, just know you're the minority in that mindset. I wish you'll live as long or short as you like :) |

| really damn it people! how could you put this cheerful ending after such a painful episode? You should have skipped it this once. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Dude, this show is so dark and so sad. I literally cried. |
| I want to sleep... |
| Damn. They actually went and killed off one of the more main characters of the series :'( So damn sad considering that AC1677 had given AA2153 a major wellbeing talk the last episode to stop him from self-destructing, then this happens and now AA2153 is utterly broken. Guessing his breakdown, refusal to work and 'rebellion' all actually play a part in a health condition we'll see next episode instead of just for story's sake. |
 |
| I had thought that the friend would die in episode 1, but when he didn't, I assumed he wouldn't die at all. So, when the guy saved the protagonist, the title of this episode came to mind and I knew what was about to happen, yet all I could do was hope I was mistaken while waiting for the inevitable. I'm sad. |
| Damn they really killed his best bro that was sad to watch |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| With how things were going it was quite obvious that the friend was gonna die. He was your typical normie but he was a good guy so RIP. |
 |
| Sure wasn't expecting that, RiP RBC bro, feel like it wont' be the last time happening. |
 |
| You won't be forgotten comrade o7 |
| This episode is so depressing :( I remember reading the chapter from the manga and the senyuu for the main Red Blood Cell did an amazing job expressing the emotion. I felt everything ;-; |

I'll take 40 thank you very much. Wow, just wow. The level of preferred ignorance is just... astonishing. If you think you're better off dead at 40 than to live a full life cycle then just donate every available organ you have to those who want to live. I bet at least a couple of your "donations" would end up with someone much older than 40 who still wants to enjoy life. |

btamamura said: Thing is, while they don't make you totally immune, good rest does actually help your immune system fight off viruses. It's why when we're run down, we're more likely to get sick and why, when we are sick, we're encouraged to rest if it's possible. Stress can contribute to ulcers, organ troubles such as triggering heart attacks because of high blood pressure, even cause things like Bell's Palsy and trigger autoimmune conditions. This person's body is in trouble because the bad habits attack the body's systems, the stress is making the immune system more weak and less able to fight off oncoming viruses. again, viruses is the problem. even if you have the most unhealthy body it would have been fine if there's nothing to fight against. fuck viruses. point your finger to the REAL problem. kidlat020 said: about 50 years of old age and suffering and meds and drugs and doctor visits and appointments and doctor telling you this and that and that and that. I'll take 40 thank you very much. You'd only have to go through that if you didn't live a healthy lifestyle. Or if unfortunate enough to contract cancer. My grandmother is 80. She has lived a long and healthy life. Up to the last few years where she had a Bell's Palsy (harmless), went half-deaf, had a cataract (that was removed and she sees fine), hypothyroidism...and now cancer (though treatments are going very well). But, that was all the way to her 70s. Because she didn't smoke, she didn't drink alcohol, her diet was healthy, she was fit. As opposed to me who is only 35, had a Bell's Palsy from stress, have Graves' Disease (autoimmune hyperthyroidism) and a tachycardic heart thanks to that, almost died four years ago. I'm only three years away from the age my mum was when cancer took her from us. My lifestyle compared to my grandmother is not great and my cells are crying. Stressed easily (live with multiple mental illnesses and two personality disorders), eat unhealthy foods (doctors just want me eating at all because 24 hours without will land me in hospital and only a little longer would either put me in a coma or kill me, I'd eat healthy if I didn't have to deal with foods either triggering sensory issues or making me feel more sick than normal), I don't smoke and haven't touched alcohol for years but even when I did have it, it was on the rare occasions, I'm also unfit thanks to not really being able to walk anymore (thanks to Graves' making me so sick I couldn't get around and my muscles have degenerated). If I made it to 40, even with a life of constant blood tests, medicines, hospital visits and stays, specialists...that would be a miracle. and viruses caused all those complications. |

| Damn, that ending theme has never caused quite so much tonal whiplash before now. |
 |
| This anime was serious all the time, but I didn't expect major character to die. Tbh I kinda like it. |
| Yoo, this was shocking af. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This was so sad episode. R.I.P RBC. :( |

| I must admit I didn’t expect this code black version to go this dark |
| It was all happening in slow motion, you’d think they’d just be teasing you again and that he will be saved at the last minute. Damn, they didn’t pull back and our man really just lost his closest buddy. While this body is in freaking shambles, seems that this dude at least is getting all the medication and treatment he’s needing. All these issues are solved at the last minute by some artificial drug, the cells themselves just holding out long enough until the antibiotics arrive. Next episode is gonna be a real one |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| I expected him to die due to several death flags from episode 9. Burned to death, that hurts. |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| I was expecting him to be saved, I was like *insert pikachu surprised meme*. |
| Well damn, that was devastating to see unfold. AC1677 was truly a great friend... |
