Now, where in the heck the body is? Because I'm pretty sure Japan isn't exactly the place to get Dengue.

Epidermic centric problematic episode.

Dengue fever in the first part, and the second was an acne.

That mosquitoe bite visual was just too real. Poor rbc-chan almost got sucked out, gladly she was saved. Its not long enough until dengue virus infected a nearby langerhan cells and provided a local infection. Fortunately, even though Mast cell always lost her temper and did a wrong turn with her way of works, these time, she did a great work by representing a well-placed histamines in the right time. Bye-bye fever, and rip for those langerhan cells and most cells that got sucked out by the previous mosquitoe attack.

The next episode represented another wbc badass moment. He survived long enough and provided a good resistance against those local one root hair inflammation. Its caused by those worm acne germs, and made the local hair matrix cells turned into their slaves to produced more sebums. In the end, everything just turned out to be good enough. Thanks to wbc-san determination to slaughtering those germ without any hesitations.

Another nice educative episode, once again, by Hataraku Saibou.

personally, if i have to say...that Dengue virus was pretty WEAK! something like Strain-1 Dengue virus.
I'm saying this because i had actually got Dengue in real life two times!
First instance was strain 1 in which i was confined to the hospital in just 1 week.
2nd instance was worse because it is Dengue Strain-2 in which i was confined at the hospital for morethan 2 weeks! And my platelet count was almost reached the lowest threshold for considering a blood transfusion, but what happened was I was never transfused because my platelet count slowly increased because of 'Tawa-tawa" remedy intake.
I never had strain-3 Dengue, but if ever that happens...good luck to me because blood transfusion is the only salvation.

anywayz great episode!
5/5.

lol Dengue is a tengu.

We learnt about pus from this anime as well.

I know that histamine is important, but I really hate it. So, I understand why the cells would be mad.

Onii-Chan saved the day once again. Funny to see white blood cell being embarrassed to wear that head.

Mast Cell has quite an adorable side, lets give her more compliments!

I think this is the best episode of season 2 so far. =)

I do love Mast Cell's tsundere personality, although it's down to her who keeps using histamine too often, so I can understand the frustration of the other cells. Thankfully, after listening to the monotone rambling of Basophil, she got her act together to take down the threat of dengue, with the way it was portrayed with the tengu masks being funny.

I count myself lucky to never suffer from acne, but I can see how painful it can be. Our favourite WBC did a stellar job in fighting the acne that took over the hair root. Seeing how many corpses of WBC that lost their fight against and being with the young hair lad inspired WBC to go all out.

Although, wearing the hair accessory on his head does look rather dumb, though. No wonder RBC was rather surprised by it. XD

Oh my god is that Stone Mask Jojo Reference??? I hate to say it but it looks so similar plus it was from the same Studio David Production... Lmao

That Mosquito bite was way too real... So In the beginning we see Histamin as electric shock effect, is that why we got itching on our skin??? Wow 😲

So this is why Acne are so hard to get rid off, they have the perfect place to live and supply of food to fight against WBC
Never thought i would see dozen of WBC corpse in this show...

Thank god i have watched my face often now and so rarely got any Acne...

A mosquito bite always sucks, and no one likes them :(

Acne is the worst cuz I know many people suffers from it and I feel bad for those who were very unlucky. It's one of those things that makes someone loose their self esteem depending how bad it looks, and most of all painful, very painful >_<

Great episode! And looking forward for next week as always ^w^

Wow, acne seems like no big deal but after watching this it's made me realize just how awful it really is. I can't believe out of everything White Blood Cell has fought so far ACNE is the thing that nearly ended him; now I get why it's so hard to get rid of.

yes, some viruses can be eliminated naturally by the body, although the process is not as simple as it is shown in the anime, it is needed a group work of a lot of cells and not only the neutrophils. hiv is one of the viruses that cant be eliminated since it has mechanisms to evade the host immune system and has a high mutation rate, thats why it is so hard to find a cure or a vacine

Thanks for the answer, it would be very tedious to show the whole process so I'm fine with them summarizing things in the anime

So then HIV is a serious thing, there are viruses of all kinds, interesting

Yeah, it's kinda weak in this episode. My platelet count also dropped. I had very high fever. I was losing myself due to high temperature. I was expecting something along those lines here.

So this season is going more into making 2 short 10 minutes stories instead of 1 20 minutes. That's a drop of quality of a series, that didn't hook me that much in season 1 too
