I think it’s cause she’s a Sickle cell since they can’t flow properly in the body which explains her getting lost. Also the single curve in her hair resembles the sickle cell shape
This show taught me more about my body than normal health classes, and I think all subjects should have an anime like this and it should be played in school.
Maybe for the younger years, but it definitely can’t be the sole way to learn a subject. No one would trust a doctor or engineer who only learned through an anime.
I loved that he was confused as to why the red blood cell was lost, because there's actually an explanation to that.! Our particular red blood cell-chan has a fun little detail of the hair curl (cow lick) in her character design. It's actually a cute little clue that she's actually a sickle cell, which explains why she gets lost so easily.
That's actually been proven to not be the case-the reason seems to be more that the naming on her hat suggests she has a trait that makes her less efficient at transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide throughout the body.
@@thephantom7578 Yes, that's correct as well. What I'm saying is that even though that is the case, she's not a sickle cell according to the creator. She just has a cowlick.
The creator didn’t know what he was talking about, but thankfully the animators or some where in the creators subconscious, the hair clue made it into the design to clue the audience to what she really is. That way both the creator lame excuse “she just a normal inexperienced red blood cell” is satisfied but at the same time, the audience understands why she really is the way she is.
No no, she's not a sickle cell. That cowlick(also known as 'id i ot' hair) is a rather popular anime trope. When a character has a cowlick, it means that he/she/they are an airhead, uh an absent-minded person, or (in humorous term) an id i ot. That's why she got lost a lot, because she's an airhead, not a sickle cell. I know that seems kinda mean to us westerners, but it is considered pretty humorous(in a benign way) in eastern media. Check TVTropes:Id i ot Hair for good explanation. EDIT: sorry about the spacing, TH-cam is in their time of the month apparently.
There’s actually a theory that the main red blood cell is a sickle cell, as evident by the shape of the hair swoop and the fact she is constantly lost.
alot of anime is pretty accurate to real things when they want compared to alot of shows here in the US. Hell, go watch dr stone if you want to see science used in a entertaining way.
@@eegernades doctor stone is fantastic!! I keep waiting for a slip up, a moment where they'll say or do something that makes me go "that ain't it, chief!!"... But it never comes. They are always right. I hate it. 10/10
The way Cells at Work crams so much information into itself, trying to be as accurate as possible, while still being fun and interesting is just incredible. This is how subjects should be taught, at least at a base level.

If you're looking at a blood smear (used to perform a CBC) then white blood cells>red cells>platelets. So the heights of the characters are actually proportional to their real sizes. Platelets come together to form large clots, but individually they are the smallest thing you see in blood normally:). This show has so many great nerd facts built in.
But... if germ is "baikin", shouldn't it then be "bai baikin" or "bai bai baikin"?🤔 (I'm genuinely curious, I know absolutely nothing about the Japanese language 😂)
AlienMissy 483 you are correct. Bai bai germ would be bai bai baikin, but the white blood cell said “bai bai kin,” using one of the bais in place of two of them. I realized what I had said was incorrect, but TH-cam wouldn’t let me edit it because I had already edited it once to add quotation marks.
@@noogywoogy2375 you're right, bai bai kin, combines the two words by dropping one of the bais..and he's probably saying this way because a very very famous kids anime called Anpanman uses this saying as one of the bad guy's catch phrase...who also happens to be a germ :)
@@RobThunder42 Ooh, I'm very happy to see there are people that caught that. Yes, bai bai kin is also a catchphrase xD There were many layers to that joke that unfortunately, many people would not catch unless you're living in japan and part of the older generation.
Yeah doctor Mike must see the whole season this anime is extremely good at teaching biology about our body its pretty insane even i heard about a lot of med students studies are carried/helped by this series!
There's a nice detail that I like that's in the manga, that each cell's lifespan in a real body is how often the various cells in the show need new uniforms.
I'm not exaggerating when I say this show got me a higher grade in biology class I never would have been able to keep all these things straight in my head without the visualization of these characters.
This show helped me pass hematology in nursing school. I tried to show my other classmates, but they didn't seem interested. Oh, to be the only weeb in nursing school lol
jman10trex, this comes from me, a future teacher, 2/3ds into getting my degree: it is because you're having fun learning. when a student has fun learning, even learning how to learn they're set. A stunning world opens up to you.
I love that medical schools in Japan recommend watching this show. I've also gotten into arguments with my cousin about potential shipping in this show. I told her it was like the eyeball being in love with the spleen. It doesn't make sense!
@@BettyMareeHOHCountry What if you are watching anime AND doing something else? Dubbed does save your life if you are slow at reading and have to pause to read every time a character speaks,doing something else, watching with a kid ( I know most animes are not for kids but this kinda counts as educational if you explain what and why something is happening)
Eloise A Disney Nerd I personally disagree. With subtitles I’m less likely to be able to be actually watch the animation. I have to get through all the subtitles first and then look at what’s happening which when something has amazing animation is annoying. I’ll watch both at times and there are dubs that don’t really do it for me but more often than not watching the English dub is preferred for me. It’s easier to binge and I’m not sure where you’ve had mouth movement issues. Also on car trips reading makes me feel nauseous. 😅
@@BettyMareeHOHCountry While I will watch subbed. I do prefer dubbed as I'm a pretty slow reader and have to read things 2 or 3 times on occasion due to me reading it wrong the first time. One time in an online game someone said something about their marriage and I thought they said miscarriage. I'm sure there's a medical reason for that. But anyway, it makes watching subs harder cause I don't get to see the animation as much.
@@natashacheng1122 The other guy takes weeks or months in between Cells At Work commentary videos. It's relevant enough and rich enough in content that I think it's absolutely perfect for this kind of channel. Much more interesting than watching another "The patient is sick, so let's help them. Oh no, we made it worse! Oh wow, we had a dramatic breakthrough that made them all better!" (plus some "human drama" to make it more interesting for people who don't care about the scientific side of medicine) kind of shows.
The fact that Mike was like “oh, he is in a capsule. He’s an incapsulated bacteria!” Made me say out loud “smart man” to be able to know instantly in this cartoon that that was the reference - pretty cool Dr Mike.
I absolutely love the last 2 episodes. It really showed what the body could really do once you’ve truly entered a state where you’re between life and death.
There's also Cells at Work Black that flips it where the human is in critical condition. It touches on some emergency situations and eventually a heart failure. The ending is just depressing on what happens.
You ever notice that the main character red blood cell has that single lock of hair pointing up and? It’s shaped like a sickle. You also notice how she’s always getting lost? Some theorize that she specifically is a sickle cell.
the manga actually have a spin-off where the body isn't healthy. The body is a smoker. So the cells are working way too hard like hell. It's like battle field. Also the white blood cells was a sexy badass girl and the red blood cell was a boy.
I'm just a teen, but I love Cells At Work. My sister introduced it to me (her boyfriend is a med student) and I love it so much. It's very educational.
I was curious why he said they were supposed to be big. They’re tiny in comparison to red and white blood cells. So tiny, in fact, that they can’t plug a cut or wound on their own and need fibrin, red blood cells, and white blood cells to help clot.
Ashutosh Tilak if you mean doctor hope then I already watched him. I still enjoy watching doctor mike too though so I’m happy seeing him react as well. Both are really great people
Here are my favorites Episode 2: Scrape Wound Episode 4: Food Poisoning Episode 10: Staphylococcus aureus Episodes 12-13: Hemmorhagic Shock PS: the platelets are little kids because they have a short lifespan... Enjoy!!!
@@ridwanshaleh1332 This is not the reason, the Coronavirus is a novel (new) virus. A lot of the research may be incorrect in the next couple of days because it is a new virus. So, it's not a matter of being sensitive, but it is a new virus. If they make a Coronavirus episode, maybe the episode might not be accurate after a few days.
another thing to note about the spleen, that’s where rbcs and wbcs go to die, hence why she was so startled at first when she accidentally went there and why the captain of the killer t cells said anyone who didn’t kill the bacteria fast enough is being sent straight to the spleen (to die) lol. absolutely brilliant.
I'm an immunologist and I love this show - THE MOST ACCURATE and correct presentation of immunology I've seen. I recommend it to my students to get a sense of the dynamic interaction. Love it.
@@efraim6960 yea I’ve learned so much from manga like boxing from hajime no ippo and science from doctor stone and how to freakin farm rice from suicide island I think anime/manga is the perfect medium to make learning fun
Platelets are tiny compared to other cells in your blood, they’re technically not even really cells in and of themselves but are fragments of megakaryocytes which are big cells
Same but different,i want to be a writer and animator (but im not good at it lol),my family wants me to take a course in the future that has license or professionals,they think animating is a joke :/
the season finally of season one makes me cry every time. but the allergies episode is totally my favorite! I love how dumb and blundering the pine pollen is, reminding me that it's not a malicious act of nature attacking my face, but just some lost particulates getting over reacted to.
There's spinoff manga that are great, too. Caw Code Black (18+) and Bacteria at Work. Stay away from the "friends" manga, they're horrible. There's manga for the Platelets and one called "Cells at Work Baby!"
now, you're gonna love this: the reason why she get's lost so easily is because she is a sickle blood cell. The author pointed it out with the sickle shaped strand of hair that comes out of her hat.
That doesn't make any sense. She would be slower, (perhaps disabled would be a good parallel) but not wander around outside the blood vessels or in the wrong direction.
Chloe, that doesn't matter. In the episode where they got stuck in a clot, realistically they would've been digested and recycled, or scraped off once it healed, like a real scab (or internal temporary clot). Real WBS only live a couple of weeks, and RBCs only live 100-200 days. Obviously they are going to make the characters live longer than that.
That strand of hair most likely shows that shes an airhead and not a sickle blood cell. Or it's to make her stand out more than the others as a ain character.
A fun fact: his code number is actually a pun. 1146 in Japanese is Ichi-Ichi-Shi-Roku. Condensed, it is i-i-shi-ro. "I-I-Shi-Ro" also means "good white"; being that he is one of the two protagonists, it is fitting.
I love this so much too. I geek out learning about the body and this manga/show is super accurate that it satisfies the nerd in me. React to more. It's so good.
Same here, recently discovered Dr.Mike and remembered all the videos of doctors reacting to this. Went to see if there was a Dr.Mike one and there wasn't. I thought about suggesting it on reddit, but I didn't even have the time to do it
@@ahmedsamy9023 What? Do you not know basic biology? It has nothing to do with vaccination. They live for a week or so before biting the dust. If that's a joke comparing platelets to real kids who are unvaccinated, it's not really funny either. Today, you're more likely to die from Corona than not vaccinated lmao.
There is Doctor Hope on YT, and there is a series of reddit posts breaking down each medical concept by episode when the anime was coming out, so Doctor Mike should rush it
I showed this to my doctor mother too and she had the same reaction She even said that she's planning to make her students watch this and oh boy those students are definitely aceing all their exams
Don't know what brought me back to this, but I still recommend the "Code Black" season of Cell's at work. Shows what happens during sickness/abuse of the body.

The reason why the platelets are tiny is because they are called 血小板(kesshouban) in Japanese and “小”means “small”.
Also, platelets in the real world are much smaller than other blood cells.
@@SynchronizorVideos They’re not even true cells; they’re fragments of cytoplasm created by the bone marrow.
And they have a very short lifespan (10 days compared to RBC's 120 days) which means the platelets are much younger than the average RBC

If you're looking at a blood smear (used to perform a CBC) then white blood cells>red cells>platelets. So the heights of the characters are actually proportional to their real sizes. Platelets come together to form large clots, but individually they are the smallest thing you see in blood normally:). This show has so many great nerd facts built in.
Germ is "baikin" in Japanese.
What he says for “Bye-bye, germ" is "bai bai kin."
I just thought it was a shame that this pun went unnoticed.
But... if germ is "baikin", shouldn't it then be "bai baikin" or "bai bai baikin"?🤔 (I'm genuinely curious, I know absolutely nothing about the Japanese language 😂)
AlienMissy 483 you are correct. Bai bai germ would be bai bai baikin, but the white blood cell said “bai bai kin,” using one of the bais in place of two of them.
I realized what I had said was incorrect, but TH-cam wouldn’t let me edit it because I had already edited it once to add quotation marks.
@@noogywoogy2375 you're right, bai bai kin, combines the two words by dropping one of the bais..and he's probably saying this way because a very very famous kids anime called Anpanman uses this saying as one of the bad guy's catch phrase...who also happens to be a germ :)
@@RobThunder42 Ooh, I'm very happy to see there are people that caught that. Yes, bai bai kin is also a catchphrase xD There were many layers to that joke that unfortunately, many people would not catch unless you're living in japan and part of the older generation.

I've read somewhere the reason why the plateletes has the images as little kids is because their life span are only 8-9 days.
imagine they draw all the plateletes as old tiny grannies 😂

The fact that he watched subbed instead of dubbed is just.
AMAZING
the dub of hataraku saibou is good too!
@@BettyMareeHOHCountry What if you are watching anime AND doing something else? Dubbed does save your life if you are slow at reading and have to pause to read every time a character speaks,doing something else, watching with a kid ( I know most animes are not for kids but this kinda counts as educational if you explain what and why something is happening)
Eloise A Disney Nerd I personally disagree. With subtitles I’m less likely to be able to be actually watch the animation. I have to get through all the subtitles first and then look at what’s happening which when something has amazing animation is annoying. I’ll watch both at times and there are dubs that don’t really do it for me but more often than not watching the English dub is preferred for me. It’s easier to binge and I’m not sure where you’ve had mouth movement issues. Also on car trips reading makes me feel nauseous. 😅
@@BettyMareeHOHCountry While I will watch subbed. I do prefer dubbed as I'm a pretty slow reader and have to read things 2 or 3 times on occasion due to me reading it wrong the first time.
One time in an online game someone said something about their marriage and I thought they said miscarriage. I'm sure there's a medical reason for that. But anyway, it makes watching subs harder cause I don't get to see the animation as much.

You ever notice that the main character red blood cell has that single lock of hair pointing up and? It’s shaped like a sickle. You also notice how she’s always getting lost?
Some theorize that she specifically is a sickle cell.
the manga actually have a spin-off where the body isn't healthy. The body is a smoker. So the cells are working way too hard like hell. It's like battle field. Also the white blood cells was a sexy badass girl and the red blood cell was a boy.
isn't that cells at work black?
Wait that? Red blood cell is a boy?
Aina Najwa in cells at work black he is, this one she’s a girl

Platelets are small kids in there because they are actually fragments of a cell, instead of a whole one.
They are sooo cute!
and they combine to make megazord
They are so adorable
I was curious why he said they were supposed to be big. They’re tiny in comparison to red and white blood cells. So tiny, in fact, that they can’t plug a cut or wound on their own and need fibrin, red blood cells, and white blood cells to help clot.

Bcoz peeps around the world are so sensitive about covid-19
They have a strong reason to not adapt covid-19 into the anime
@@ridwanshaleh1332 This is not the reason, the Coronavirus is a novel (new) virus. A lot of the research may be incorrect in the next couple of days because it is a new virus. So, it's not a matter of being sensitive, but it is a new virus. If they make a Coronavirus episode, maybe the episode might not be accurate after a few days.
another thing to note about the spleen, that’s where rbcs and wbcs go to die, hence why she was so startled at first when she accidentally went there and why the captain of the killer t cells said anyone who didn’t kill the bacteria fast enough is being sent straight to the spleen (to die) lol. absolutely brilliant.

now, you're gonna love this: the reason why she get's lost so easily is because she is a sickle blood cell. The author pointed it out with the sickle shaped strand of hair that comes out of her hat.
That doesn't make any sense. She would be slower, (perhaps disabled would be a good parallel) but not wander around outside the blood vessels or in the wrong direction.
Yeah and don't forget sickle cells die faster than normal blood cells 😭
Chloe, that doesn't matter. In the episode where they got stuck in a clot, realistically they would've been digested and recycled, or scraped off once it healed, like a real scab (or internal temporary clot). Real WBS only live a couple of weeks, and RBCs only live 100-200 days. Obviously they are going to make the characters live longer than that.
@@KindlingKatalyst I heard that each episode takes place in a day.
That strand of hair most likely shows that shes an airhead and not a sickle blood cell. Or it's to make her stand out more than the others as a ain character.
A fun fact: his code number is actually a pun. 1146 in Japanese is Ichi-Ichi-Shi-Roku. Condensed, it is i-i-shi-ro. "I-I-Shi-Ro" also means "good white"; being that he is one of the two protagonists, it is fitting.
