Loved the first half with our RBC trying to be all Senpai-like but Kouhai is so good at this job, that she needs no training at all. "Senpai!" "Senpai, this way!" "Senpai, don't get stuck to the fibrin!". Yeah, what a reliable Senpai. xD
But darn, when it comes down to it you can count on RWC-chan! "I gonna deliever this oxygen till the end!" Man, thinking how red blood cells and other cells like the platelets and white blood cells do their best to keep your body alive while it is close to death is very depressing if you think about how small they are and how huge the task is they try to solve. If they lost that much blood, then the body will without outside help die for sure. Similar to thee heatstroke episode. Btw, do red blood cells really look after younger red blood cells in the veins?

I guess the reason we don't know what happens is to make us feel the situation of the blood cells. In that situation, the brain may be barely functioning, so the body has nothing to go by except its automatic functions. I don't recognize those guys in suits declaring an emergency, but that should be the brain stem, unless I am mistaken. Anyway, it is safe to say that even if they survive this one, it's likely to get much worse before it gets better. What a cliffhanger, especially after the cute first half.

Man...even the half time interval didn't have the comical "Hataraku Saibou" phrases in this episode. Seems like this person's body is in dire straits! Perhaps a bad fall and a cut to the head? When WBC entered that dead zone with no RBCs in sight, that was a pretty scary scene. Just like in the movies.
Even though our senpai is ditzy and klutzy as hell, we all know that her determination and compassion to do her job is going to shine and impress book smart kouhai (probably in next week's episode). Anyways, with the severe blood loss this week, I wonder how the author covers things like menstruation/periods, since this is a female body, correct? |

Infections, infections, cold, flu, parasite, cancer, allergy, heatstroke, and now trauma of some kind to the head...what in the world is this person doing to themselves?
Felt like apocalypse near the end there. Wow. I wonder how they'll represent blood transfusion...do blood cells from another person wear the same uniform?

I thought the same thing. Perhaps uniform depends upon blood type? (0 type would be interesting; are they plains cloth blood cells without any allegiance?) Also, imagine you're a blood cell just merrily doing your job with no problem in sight, then you get sucked up by a sudden giant tube out of nowhere, get mashed together with lots of other blood cells, and when you finally get ejected again you have no idea where you are, and the locals are all in a panic... |

I must say I really missed the narration bits this week. I really hope we get a LOT next week, because I want to hear them explain a lot of what's happening, like the rise in blood pressure and the focusing of blood to the core regions. |

As expected, we get a real emergency for the finale, but it was still quite a shock, first because this actually seems like a serious situation, and then that final scene made me think something horrible had happened to our titular red cell, and that preview didn't help at all!

She's very good in theory and technique, but lacks experience, something senpai has aplenty thanks to all her adventures. |
