History Characters / CellsAtWork

* TrueSight: Of a sort. In contrast to T Cells, NK Cells do not need antigen presentation and just kill cells (or rather, order them to) if they sense that the cell isn't displaying the MHC-1 protein. This is neatly represented in the anime by [[spoiler: T Cell not being able to see through Cancer Cell's disguise, but NK Cell being primed to confront him as she had already sensed something off about him (i.e him not displating the aforementioned protein in real life)]].

* RousingSpeech: Gives his fellow transfused blood cells one after they realize that the body they're in is dying from severe blood loss, which motivates them to help distribute oxygen/nutrients and bring the body back to full function.

* LittleBitBeastly: One of them (in fact, [[AmbiguousGender it's]] the one in our profile picture) is represented as a ''[[AsianFoxSpirit kitsune]]''.

* DropTheHammer: Another macrophage is seen using a wooden mallet as opposed to the main one's meat cleaver.

* GirlWithPsychoWeapon: A maid dragging around a giant, crooked meat cleaver.

* AuthoritySoundsDeep: He's a FrontlineGeneral who fights off invading germs and his voice is so deep that he borders on being a GutturalGrowler.

* IDieFree: A {{Deconstruction}}, since [[spoiler: he wants to apply this to the entire body to break the cycle of existence for all the cells, which he sees as meaningless. In the end, it's mostly an attempt to justify his SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum.]]

* TragicVillain: His actions are motivated from the fact that he had to live in constant fear of dying his whole life when he never intended to do anything bad and just wanted to live his live peacefully. All the evil things he does are acts of desperation after being persecuted since the moment he was born.

* OracularUrchin: Due to his function being poorly understood, he's depicted as a creepy hobo who spouts poetic phrases about current events. Despite this, his ramblings are given a great amount of weight.
* TheParagon: To Neutrophil and Eosinophil. For the former, Basophil taught him to think more deeply about his purpose in life. For the latter, Basophil taught her to note difficult phrases in her books, and influenced her to write poetry, even as an adult. For the both of them, Basophil's (seeming) sacrifice encouraged them to step forward into battle, despite the odds and certainty of the outcome.

* KillItThroughItsStomach: How he meet his end at the hands of U-1146 after swallowing him.

* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Its single job is to stop the body from producing excess histamine by any means necessary, including laying waste to everything in site.

* CurbStompBattle: Gives one to the neutrophils, who are unable to harm it. [[spoiler: Then on the receiving end by Eosinophil, [[OneHitKill who kills it with one hit of her weapon]].]]

* MeaningfulName: Her genus means "grape cluster," due the clumps they form in small groups (both her "hair" and "dress" are grape-shaped). Her species means "golden," and she's properly presented as a yellow bacteria.

* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: As implied in their name, they partner with whichever side is stronger and will abandon them at a moment's notice if the tides are turned. [[spoiler: They abandoned the harmful bacteria when the Lactic Acid Bacteria came to the rescue. The Neutrophils don't buy any of it and kill them anyway.]]

* KilledOffScreen: After anti-inflammatory cytokines calms down Killer T Cells, it's stated that they've defeated Coronavirus, however, that isn't seen.

* WeakButSkilled: Individually Coronavirus is one of the weakest germs, dying to a single punch. However, it's more strategic than other viruses, trying to avoid T Cells entirely and indirectly harming the body through CollateralDamage.

* TheHero: Consistently appears in every chapter, typically in a traditionally heroic role that involves saving and protecting other cells and defeating invading harmful organisms.

* BoobsOfSteel: Macrophage is notably busty, and is also an incredibly effective fighter.

* BoobsOfSteel: Quite well-endowed, and definitely one of the more (if not ''the'' most) formidable immune cell.

* DistressedDamsel: She doesn't possess any weapon or way to defend herself (though in Chapter/Episode 1, she manages to pull a BareHandedBladeBlock on Pneumococcus), so she's always at the mercy of hostile organisms in the body. {{Justified|Trope}}, as she is not a cell made to protect the body, but to transport oxygen. However, Red Blood Cells are great at running away, and [=AE3803=] manages to improve at dodging bacterial attacks to the point where they can't lay a single claw on her.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Macrophage's girly girl because of her more masucline manner of dress and lacking the same feminine charm. In a twist, she's the one lacking in combat prowess and [[DistressedDamsel frequently in need of saving.]]

* PeekABangs: The very thing that distinguishes him from his peers is a lock of hair that covers his right eye.

* PeekABangs: Her hair covers her right eye. [[spoiler:She had it as Cell School student]].

* HidingInPlainSight: Can make himself look like a perfectly Ordinary Cell, if needed. [[spoiler: He uses this to lure the Immune cells back to his hideout, by pretending to be attacked by another cancer cell.]]

* KansaiRegionalDialect: Speaks in one, to show that he was transfused into the body. In the dub, this is adapted into a Southern accent.

* ImprovisedWeapon: U-4989 is shown to use these OnceAnEpisode. Some examples include a box of steamed buns, his knife tied to a pipe as a makeshify spear, and wearing acid-proof enamel cookware as armour. He also used branches as a (playing) weapon as a myelocyte.

* BladeOnAStick: Her weapon of choice is a bifurcated spear.

* ImprovisedWeapon: U-4989 is shown to use these OnceAnEpisode. Some examples include a box of steamed buns, his knife tied to a pipe as a rather literal example of a BladeOnAStick, and wearing acid-proof enamel cookware as armour. He also used branches as a (playing) weapon as a myelocyte.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: When we see him in the colon in Chapter 23, he has a facemask-style scuba helmet instead of seperate goggles and air mask.
