Thuzi is the het ship between Uzi Doorman and Thad from the Murder Drones fandom.
Canon[]
Uzi and Thad are classmates. Thad seems to be the only few in Uzi’s class that isn’t terrified, forgetting, or avoiding her. They continue to be friends after PILOT, Thad even helps Uzi during “Heartbeat”. However, after that episode, Uzi and Thad don’t seem to interact at all, with Thad only appearing as a cameo due to his unimportance to the main plot.
PILOT[]
Thad is walking down the hallway and sees Uzi at the sickbay with a bandage over her face. He walks in calling Uzi’s name. Uzi asks how he knew her name, he simply answered that everyone knew her for being Khan’s daughter. He says Uzi’s bandages are badass, Uzi blushes a bit but says she hates it that he said that. Thad asks Uzi about her railgun. Uzi explains her plan of going out to the Disassembly Drones pod for the last spare part she needs to earn her father’s respect and saving the world. Thad questions her plan as her father makes doors to protect them from the Disassembly Drones, so she doesn’t need to do all that. Uzi points her railgun at him saying she doesn’t need feedback and leaves. But she quickly comes back saying she wasn’t mad at him, she was just “generally hormonal” and gives a thumbs up.
Later on in the episode, the Disassembly Drones manages to inside the Worker Drones base and begin to kill the everyone inside. Thad attempts to fight the Disassembly Drones, but immediately gets knocked over by J and V. V impales Thad and lifts him off the ground. That was until Uzi and N arrive to stop them. Uzi shouts at V to put Thad down calling him a “conventionally attractive male”. After the fight was over, Thad congratulates Uzi and N.
Heartbeat[]
Thad brings Uzi’s railgun for her, he hands it over to her which she nervously takes it from him. Thad thanks Uzi for saving his life and the other Worker Drones. He then mentions to Uzi about the recent disappearances of Worker Drones and when he went to grab Uzi’s gun. He also says when he was about to grab the railgun, it looked like it was about to crawl away. So the three return to the Worker Drones base to investigate.
In the bunker, Thad is grabbed in the leg by an hand and is taken away by Eldritch J, so Uzi and N go to rescue him. Uzi and N see a hologram of Thad created by Eldritch J, which they immediately get suspicious of due to J’s terrible impression of Thad. They free Thad and he thanks them, saying they’re invited to his shindig next weekend.
The Promening[]
During the Prom, Thad and Uzi happen to be in the same place when she bursts in before V can eradicate the students.
Cabin Fever[]
In the intro to the episode, Thad is apart of the trip to camp 98.7, him and lizzy choosing to go along with V and N being counselors. Their both seen on the bus during the end of the episode.

Fanon[]
Before the events of "Heartbeat" and going on, ThUzi was an exceptionally large pairing within the Murder Drones fandom. Due to Thad's genuine kindness along with being the first character who gifts her this, fans shone a light above this ship, even believing that it would become canon over the progression of the series. It was immediately clashed with Nuzi within a short period of time, resulting in a shipping war. ThUzi fans took advantage of Serial Designation N's past feelings for Serial Designation V as a trump card to prove Nuzi fanon, causing the Nuzi fans to battle with Envy as well.
Unfortunately, with Thad's current unimportance in the series, ThUzi is no longer a popular ship within the Murder Drones fandom, as it’s easily overshadowed by Nuzi, the ship between Uzi Doorman and Serial Designation N.
The ship currently has 80+ fanworks on AO3, with some of them including the ship Envy.
