- "Woohoo! That's my girlfriend!"
- —N cheering for Uzi after her presentation (Episode 8: Absolute End)
Nuzi is the het ship between Serial Designation N and Uzi Doorman from the Murder Drones fandom.
Canon[]
Episode 1: Pilot[]
When N and Uzi met, N almost killed her as he was only created to kill Worker Drones like her. When Uzi shot him with her railgun, he could not recognize her, believing that Uzi was a Disassembly Drone like himself. He communicated well with her and even allowed her to put her hand in his mouth to heal the acid wound. During that time N mentions his teammates, J and V. But while talking about V he mentioned that he has a crush on her.
When J reboots N, he understands that Uzi was not a Disassembly Drone, but a Worker Drone. He began to chase Uzi to the shelter of the Worker Drones. After he kills almost all the drones, he admits that he genuinely enjoyed the time he spent with Uzi despite the fact that she was his enemy. He caught Uzi and wanted to kill her, but he didn't. He began to sympathize with her when her father Khan did not help and left her to die.
N begins to think about the plans of the company "JC Jenson", and says about it to J.
J launches a virus into N, leaves him and leaves saying that he has deteriorated since he does not trust the company. N apologizes to Uzi because of the situation with her father. Uzi forgives him, pulls the virus out of him, and teams up with him to confront J and V to protect the Worker Drones.
N and Uzi win. In the fight, Uzi supposedly kills J with her railgun, and V is tied up and taken with them to the ship of the murder drones, where they already shackle her with chains.
Episode 2: Heartbeat[]
N wakes up when Uzi calls his name. Uzi and V talk about a strange symbol on Uzi’s visor. Uzi then tells N that his cap is actually a pilot's cap. N asks Uzi if she really wants to kill all the humans. Uzi replies by saying that people sent his group without communication and reformatted all the memories. V laughs at her and says that her story doesn't make sense and that the working drones are only pretending to be innocent. N tries to defuse the situation by pushing them apart, and tries to pat Uzi on the head.
N and Uzi then climb out of the pod, leave the lair and find Thad, where he says the worker drones are disappearing and Uzi agrees to return to the bunker. Uzi, N and Thad go to the lair. Thad, N and Uzi go to where J corpse lays to investigate the recent disappearance of Worker Drones. They noticed a long arm that began to crawl towards them.
N fires a missile at a huge disassembly drone centipede that is the AbsoluteSolver, and a hand grabs Thad’s leg. N then throws a shuriken and cuts off the creature's arm. But they are repelled and the centipede takes Thad away. They later see a hologram doing a predictably bad job mimicking Thad. After they get Thad back, N asks Uzi if she's good. Uzi replies, "No." and gives her railgun to him. It is then revealed that was a hologram of N. As soon as the Absolute Solver is about to destroy Uzi, The real N comes and saves her.
Later, N reaches out his hand for Uzi to grab. Uzi is traumatized and instead asks, "What... are you things?" N leaves sad that Uzi would not leave with him.
Episode 3: The Promening[]
Some time has passed since the separation of N and Uzi. Uzi has nightmares about how she pushes N away (her screen says "Guilt:active" - obviously, she blames herself for this act). After waking up, she looks at the ceiling with her notes and her gaze clings to N's poorly made drawing stating: "Thank you for being my friend." This makes her feel even more guilty. The situation is worsened by her classmates teasing her for not having a partner for the prom. When Khan confiscates her notes, trying to protect her from the secrets of the AbsoluteSolver, she declares that she wants to talk to N, whom is the only one she trusts. However, Lizzy and Doll show up at her door, with Khan saying that she's going to prom with them, and that he's chaperoning.
At this time, N and V are in the ship, with two frozen humans wearing prom outfits suitable for the two. N is very worried about the falling out with Uzi, and V seems to be empathetic. An argument breaks out between them, N claims that V is not worried about their past at all. She starts to worry about it, and requests that he and Uzi don't "climb into that stuff." V offers to let her and N live together alone, killing only those who are needed for survival, in exchange for being set free, but N refuses. He offers to help put together every memory they have. In the heat of the moment, V beheads N and says that it is better for him, and that he can hate her for it. She flies off to the bunker, taking the dress. Waking up, N realizes with horror that V has gone to arrange a massacre at the prom, and is about to leave, when his gaze falls on the suit. He decides to change his clothes before going to confront V.
While Uzi is visiting Doll, she changes into her dress and accidentally finds out that they are going to kill her. Having made a ladder out of broken mirrors, she escapes from the bunker through ventilation.
Uzi and N randomly meet outside the bunker. They are both exasperated, rapidly talking over each other, both having a lot to say. There is a very deep scene between them, during which N says he could help Uzi out if she wants, but that Uzi probably wouldn't want that. She refutes this and, blushing, invites N to go with her. N rushes behind her, holding her shoulders and says: "Dapper buddies!". Uzi is flustered, and lightly punches N's arm, but still blushes and smiles.
Arriving at the prom, Uzi and N are forced to divert Doll's attention to themselves and open the doors to let the others out. Uzi tells Doll that she decided to join forces with the disassembly drones because she was tired of doing everything alone before smiling affectionately at N. At the same time, she and N look at each other. Doll immobilizes N and starts hurling ceiling fans at them. Then N saves Uzi by pushing her out of the line of fire. He gives her a thumbs up before he gets cut in half.
During the fight, N saved Uzi several times. When Doll caught her and nailed her to the floor, launching several knives at her, he covered her with his body. Then there is a scene where N take's Uzi's hand to dance-fight, dodging what Doll throws at them, with Uzi throwing a knife (nearly missing Doll's head) and N shooting a missile at doll to knock her out. Uzi notices the large wound on N's torso. She is flustered and asks to "don't do that again". He begins having a heart-to-heart with her, but notices that Doll threw a table at them and saves her again, throwing her up in the air.
After Doll has been killed, N quarrels with V. He says that she did it on purpose, that she is hiding something and dramatizing everything. V beats N, but they are interrupted by Uzi, who found the key to Doll's apartment.
In Doll's apartment, the trio discovers many corpses of worker drones, as well as Doll's dead parents. V makes an inappropriate joke about the dead drones, for which N condemns her, saying that she sucks. And at the same time, he continues to help Uzi in every possible way, for example, gives her a hand when she climbs over the table.
Episode 4: Cabin Fever[]
Uzi and her classmates head over to the campsite. To their surprise, N and V are the lead team. Uzi shows a little bit of jealousy when a few of her classmates start flirting with N, who ignores Uzi for a good amount of time, adding to her stress. Uzi turns into a solver (a creature similar to a Murder Drone). Uzi attacks her classmates and V, causing a few casualties. N picks Uzi up and throws her in the air, which makes a great bonding/therapy session where Uzi tearfully asks N if he's going to leave her, before getting embarrassed. N assures her that when he's with her, scary things are actually fun and that they should stick together.
N and Uzi talk about her problems, which make Uzi warm up to N even more. Uzi reaches the ground after getting thrown really high, and N carries her, Uzi then hugs him. Later, N and Uzi sleep on each other and after waking up, N pulls Uzi's hand out of the sunlight when he sees it's burning, and when he does, Uzi briefly holds his hand in her sleep before N seemingly gets embarrassed and drops it.
Episode 5: Home[]
Uzi takes control of a crow, she accidentally calls N a cute butler before getting embarrassed by it and acting like all she said was, "weird butler," and not cute. After that, she starts to feel nervous talking to N. For example, she says, "We just…hang out…SHUT UP!" When her and N are in the basement, N asks her if V is okay in the future. An annoyed-sounding Uzi responds with, "unfortunately."
A little while after that, Doll barges into Uzi's room and tries to steal the keybug that Uzi has had since Episode: 4. Uzi, seeing N in danger, gives up the keybug to Doll to save N. After saving N from getting his past memories wiped, he remembers who Uzi is and thanks her for saving him. Right after V gets angry at Uzi for being in her programming, V looks at N, then turns away while blushing, (V blushing could possibly mean that she may be starting to experience feelings for N now. Albeit blushing can mean; romantic affection, anger, embarrassment, etc.) Before V gets out her chainsaw, she gives Uzi an angered expression, meanwhile N does a little bounce happily, while smiling.
Episode 6: Dead End[]
In Episode 6, N, Uzi, V, and Tessa descend into the "Cabin Fever" laboratory deep underground. Throughout this episode, their main goal is to capture Doll and take the bug, which is an important clue to solving all their problems. With the appearance of Tessa, Uzi shows several signs of being jealous of Tessa's affection for N, including biting Tessa's finger after she got too familiar with N and having her tail fiddle with N's hair after Tessa stroked it.
Going downstairs, looking for a way to the secret elevator, Uzi looked at the wall on which was written "Don't look", out of fear, Uzi wanted to take N's hand, but Tessa prevented her by talking further about the security system.
Alice kidnapped the main characters and started torturing Uzi. Despite this, Uzi smiles in relief and affection when she sees N and Tessa escape on the security cameras before Alice unleashes the mechanical Sentinels. In the office, Tessa shows N on the computer pictures of the destroyed planet Earth, saying that the "absolute solver" virus got to Cyn, infected many other drones, and immediately destroyed everything. Tessa told N that he'll need to "choose the universe over one little drone". N was very concerned about this choice and did not know how best to proceed. The Sentinel paralyzes N and throws him against the wall. Uzi, seeing on the cameras that her loved one is about to be killed, begins to panic more and uses her absolute solver to stop Alice. After reuniting, Uzi joyfully calls out N's name and hugs him tightly.
Uzi later notices that N seems distressed and uses her text screen to ask if he's ok. N merely shrugs, clearly depressed by what Tessa told him about Uzi, to which Uzi replies that they'll talk later. N responds that it "sucks pretty hard", and Uzi attempts to cheer him up with an ">:3". The two are later seen walking hand-in-hand, blushing and sweating nervously. Their handhold then changes so their fingers are interlocked, causing both of them to sweat a lot harder, but also smile. When Tessa and V see the two holding hands, V responds with "Ew" while Tessa casually remarks for Uzi not to date her robot. Uzi snaps at both of them for their comments. Doll faked her bootloop state to lure the group into the hallway, leaving them trapped with the Sentinels. Tessa distracts the Sentinels with her blood, but the red-eyed Sentinel arrives, Uzi trying to use her absolute solver gets possessed by Cyn in which N chooses to save Uzi by cutting her hand off. In desperation of the situation, Tessa pulls N into the elevator, with Uzi in his arms leaving V to deal with the sentinels.
Episode 7: Mass Destruction[]
After they escape the mine-shaft, N at first leaves Uzi to try and dig up the rock to get back to V, upon discovering that Uzi is injured because of him digging the rock he stops. Tessa strongly implies either leaving Uzi out or killing her with N refusing to do the latter, and a miscommunication leads Uzi to have the cave collapse on the two. Later N meets Uzi's mother, Nori, and excitedly proclaims that he wants to tell Uzi about her as he promised to not keep secrets from her no matter how much they hurt her. Nori makes N promise not to tell her or she'll kill him, and N states he'll wait to tell her until Nori is ready. When Uzi is about to be killed by Tessa, N comes in and offers Tessa the chance to tell the truth or he'll kill her. Tessa doesn't believe N and starts to monologue when, to save Uzi, N swiftly decapitates her.
N then tries to make sure Uzi is alright, only for her to be revealed to be possessed by AbsoluteSolver. With the help of Nori, the three fight with Nori and N teaming up. Throughout the battle, N frequently nearly kills Uzi, only to stop himself when he realizes Uzi could get seriously injured and puts himself in harm's way in exchange for her. At one point during the battle, N writes a message using his own blood/oil to tell Nori that he and Uzi are together, phrasing it as "hanging out a lot" with a few heart drawings. Nori catches on and, enraged, slaps the sense back into Uzi since she was killed by Murder Drones. Uzi snaps out of her possession and dropkicks Nori into the abyss. N and Uzi briefly argue over N's message, with Uzi stating that they did not "discuss being gross", only to hug with N stroking Uzi's hair and Uzi crying as she holds N tightly.
The two are then attacked by Cyn, who incapacitates N with a neck bite before plunging herself into the abyss. Uzi tries to wake up N before they are dragged into the abyss and manages to hold on by impaling her hand on a human skeleton. Seeing that they might die, she decides to thank N for everything until she sees the keys. N demands she doesn't do what he thinks she's gonna do, but she does so anyway by jumping up to the keys, flings them at N with her screen saying "Die mad" as she sacrifices herself after using her Solver to send N to safety. Upon waking up she finds herself in space with small debris ricocheting off her.
Episode 8: Absolute End[]
N saves Uzi from space using the old landing pod. Uzi, at first, is angered by the fact N left her mother, Nori, back there, but then hugs him and tearfully says how he was supposed to leave the planet and save himself, with N telling Uzi he was actually angry about the fact that Uzi tried to sacrifice herself. Uzi laughs and tells N, with the two of them pressing foreheads, to "DIE MAD, BI-", before Cyn's Solver's tentacles break the pod and send the latter two back down towards Copper-9's atmosphere.
While falling, N and Uzi manage to grab hands and intertwine fingers. Uzi then asks if the two of them are dating, referencing to N's "hanging out" confession in the Cathedral. N, shyly, admits that they are, to which Uzi happily responds with "Yay" while crying. The two then tightly hug before Uzi suddenly demands for N to stop being gross and to get away. She then tells then they have a planet to murder and they laugh while falling.
Upon joining the fight, N and Uzi hold hands as Uzi throws a composed black hole at Cyn. When the two land, Uzi winks at N and sunglasses appear on their visors. When Cyn appears with Uzi's black hole, Uzi puts a protective arm in front of N, with him doing the same. When Cyn attacks and fatally wounds Uzi, N defends her until Cyn immobilizes him. Uzi then saves N and drags him into the laboratory hall, where Cyn tries to capture them. The two hold hands tightly to ground each other from Cyn's influence and trauma until V's voice calls out to N. Uzi warns him if it might be a trap, but N calls out a warning anyway, causing Cyn to find him and spare Uzi.
After an intense fight with N nearly dying, Uzi saves N, referring to him as a "weirdly hot robot". Cyn and Uzi swordfight, with Cyn using Tessa's sword and Uzi using Nori's pickaxe. At one point, the Solver shows a hologram of Uzi killing N instead of her, temporarily traumatizing Uzi before the real N brings her back to her senses. N then asks Uzi if they want to make a secret handshake, which they end up doing. When Uzi finally defeats Cyn, she blacks out, with N calling out her name in concern.
N searches for Uzi back on Copper-9, and is extremely relieved to find her alright, hugging her tightly and shedding a few tears. Uzi, now half-possessed by the Solver but still herself, hugs N back and laughs brightly.
Uzi closes up her presentation, with N cheering for her and shouting, "That's my girlfriend!" Uzi is shown smiling slightly. The credits reveal the two of them spending time together, including playing cards with Uzi's father's workmates, attending another prom together, watching anime together, playing a (literal) shooting game together with V, Lizzy, and Thad, and dancing together in the sky.
Glitch X 2024
In Glitch X, Uzi and N reveal that they are both working on an indie show called The Deathening, N says that its about being killed by cuteness and Uzi says that they are still working on it, it is shown later that it was J that forced them to work on the indie project.

Fanon[]
This section is in need of major improvement. Please help improve this article by editing it.
Nuzi is the most popular ship in the Murder Drones fandom. The fandom prefers to see them as a couple rather than friends since they are very close and take good care of each other. Shippers enjoy the idea of the different species romance between a Worker Drone and a Murder Drone. This ship’s main rival is Envy, the ship between N x V.
On AO3, N/Uzi has over 1200+ works and is the most written ship for both characters.

Trivia[]
- Originally, the ship was known as "Enzi", but in between the pilot and Episode 3, "The Promening", the community has pivoted for "Nuzi". this is possibly because it is more obvious as the ship name and to avoid confusion with another ship "Envy", the pairing for Serial Designation V and N. Biscuit Bites is seen as an even better idiosyncratic name, since Nuzi is one letter away from matching the name of the ideology of the Third Reich.
- N and Uzi are the favorite characters of Liam Vickers (creator of the animated series "Murder Drones"). He likes their dynamic and he does not prefer one over the other.
- At a live event in LA for the premiere of episode 2 "Heartbeat", he gushed about them and their dynamic and then followed up with his favorite ship, which he refused to disclose what that was and that we'd eventually find out. This could be interpreted as a sign of N and Uzi being his favorite ship.
- Between "The Pilot" and "The Promening", fans debated which ship between Nuzi, Envy, or Thadzi would end up canon. After "The Promening", fans shifted towards preferring Nuzi over the amount of teases this ship had in this episode.
- It is possible that Uzi began to develop feelings for N in Episode 3, "The Promening". She blushes very often when N saves her and agrees to help her. This is also prominent in Episode 4 "Cabin Fever".
- Some haters (not fans of the ship) argue about the ages of N and Uzi, but in Glitches recent post, they labeled N as a "Teenage Murder Drone", and in the "PILOT", Uzi calls herself an "angsty teen", confirming they are both teenagers. It's possible they revealed N's age so the allegations against this ship would end.
- In the description of the promotional video for the merchandise for the third episode, "The Promening", the authors called Uzi a tsundere for 2 minutes. Tsunderes are sarcastic and aggressive with the object of their affection.
- The ship name "Biscuit Bites" could derive from the drones' catchphrases. N's personal catchphrase is "Biscuits!" whilst Uzi's is "Bite me!".
- From the sixth episode, "Dead End", N began to show feelings for Uzi. An important moment of his romantic attraction is evidenced by the way N and Uzi walked down the corridor and held hands. They both blushed and, embarrassed, began to sweat.
- Perhaps for the sake of Nuzi moments, it was decided to release episode 6 on National Couples Day (USA) on August 18. This could be a coincidence.
- In MURDER DRONES: Official Soundtrack Volume 2, the fourth episode, "Cabin Fever", When Uzi and N are having a heart-to-heart conversation while falling from the sky, the soundtrack title for this key moment is titled “Falling..For you??”. This is presumed that N was starting to develop romantic feelings for Uzi.
- In GLITCHX 2023 Liam Vickers describes Uzi and N's dynamic in his own words, "They are specifically designed to cover each other's weaknesses, and be supportive of each other, in ways they haven't experienced from other people before they are just wholesome good times, i think they play off each other really well, they kind of make each other better i think Uzi helps N stickup for himself and realize the value in himself and i think N helps Uzi.. chill out a little bit sometimes. And i think so together they're just like a real force for good and i love them and i appreciate that their there for each other."
- In the beginning of Episode 7 (Mass Destruction), we see a brand-new intro for Glitch Productions where Uzi and N pose for a few seconds, it also making a trend in TikTok.
- In the finale credits of Episode 8, Uzi and N are playing gin rummy with WDF members, Khan, and Nori. We also see them watching horror movies in Uzi's room and dancing in the moonlight.
- Liam Vickers has claimed that Nuzi as a pair is still his favorite.
