Hataraku Saibou Spoilers
U-1146 has been tracking a germ when he runs into a novice platelet named Backward-Cap, whose sole desire is to become stronger. Suddenly, an incident in the temple’s area occurs, causing capillaries to break. The platelets realize that their main task now is to prevent internal hemorrhage. Megakaryocyte distributes medals among the platelets to motivate them. The platelets subsequently create a chain with their bodies over the wound so that the blood can clot, and further bloodshed can be avoided.
As the name suggests, episode 2 might focus on immunity garnered through infection or vaccination. In its absurd but entertaining way, the show might explain Peyer’s Patches, clusters of lymphatic tissues that serve a quintessential role in the immunity system. Here is the trailer for the next episode.
