Honestly I'm having trouble imagining what a body that's meaningfully shittier than the one our characters already inhabit actually looks like, especially from a Blood Cell's perspective. Missing organs/limbs, maybe, but that just seems like our cells would see it as 'well it sucks like the last one but also it's smaller' mostly. ...Maybe a serious Cancer infestation?

I can think of several fun chronic illnesses we could explore.

Two things, full on cardiac arrest is pretty much fatal, but given the condition of that body, the body itself probably interpreted it as "yup, we're dead". That or I'm an idiot.

2nd: whole blood still has WBCs, double red donation does not.

1. While 99% of the time Cardiac arrest leads to cardiac death, its not 100%; with a mix of CPR and adrenalin we can occasionally restore spontaneous heartbeats, and defibrillation can help bring us back to something resembling actual heart function. The manga didn't help by portraying a cardiac infarction as simply: cardiac artery blocked therefore heart stops; there's several intermediate steps that could have made for decent manga. or in opera terms it's not over until the fat lady sings full legal brain death

2. Laaaaame, what are we, 1940? unless Japan is an aberration here, almost no one uses whole blood, unless we're in a literal disaster/wartime situation. Transfusing a bunch of random nonspecific WBCs leads to all sort of autoimmune fuckery that can lead to really bad reactions.

And looking around, indonesian sites have up to chapter 13 so there should be two chapters more.

You say that after all these chapters with titty WBCs?

The previous body seemed to be of a salaryman, this one seems to be of a gamer or such. Dat caffeine addiction, man

I guess one could, very generally, refer the low-angle shot of the new WBC?

But yeah, I'm equally confused.

Man, Black is depressing. Maybe it's because the visual style for the animes is noticeably different, as opposed to the mangas. "Suppress your feeling and keep working." I had a job like that, once.
Not even Big Titty Neutrophil helps.

I think someone in the casting department's been having fun; The last couple of episodes have had a normal cell voiced by Kobayashi Yuusuke (Re:Zero's Subaru) running around after a Lactic Acid Bacteria cell voiced by Takahashi Rie (Re:Zero's Emilia/Konosuba's Megumin), and the Pylori bacteria was voiced by Fukushima Jun (Konosuba's Kazuma).

Edit: A straight up Oraoraoraora from Jotaro Joestar too.

there was a turn a gundam reference in neutrophil screaming BLACK HISTORY!? UNIVERSE! upon seeing his dark and sordid past as a young white blood cell, but it's not like the characters share VAs so it seems very random

Can't wait to see reaction videos to Black Ep 3.
Also, their ending theme is ridiculously catchy. No idea what they're singing (why does no one ever translate OP/ED?), but it's stuck in my head.

It is the point.

I feel like the subtitles on this show have kinda missed the point though, Black in the title refers to a Black Company, as in an industry that overworks it's employees, underpays them and generally operates on pyramid schemes and worse.

Yet it seems the subtitles tries to skirt around this obvious reference almost as if it's too on the nose or something.

Knowing the anime industry, it probably is.

Come to think of it, did they ever mention or define "black" companies in the anime?
