Absolute End is the eighth episode of Murder Drones by Glitch Productions, and serves as the series finale. It premiered on YouTube on August 23, 2024.
Synopsis[]
In the series finale of Murder Drones, Uzi and N face off against Cyn in an epic battle that will change the universe forever.
Plot[]
The finale starts with Copper 9's gravitational force weakening with things like cockroaches, Nori's closet, the corpses of the campers at Camp 98.7 floating before the ground starts to crack and fragment. It then cuts to the teacher grading papers, before noticing everything in the classroom floating in the air. Everything suddenly drops to the ground, with the classroom going up into space. The teacher walks out only to see a gaping hole through the planet, with long, glowing tendrils coming at him. The tendrils slap him in the face (which he doesn't react to), and pull him towards the hole.
Uzi is watching this unfold in the distance, but ends up drifting further through space. Nori sees this and sends a rock to Uzi to stop it. When she sees her mother, Uzi happily yells out 'Mom!' (but nothing is heard due to them being in outer space). Uzi asks Nori how to stop Cyn, when she brings up the Crucifix Patch, the former mentions that she destroyed it when the Solver possessed her. Uzi then worries that the Solver will try to possess her again, but Nori encourages her by throwing her the Cabin Fever Labs necklace. She then tells Uzi that she needs to reach Cyn and destroy her heart. Nori nods her good luck and gives Uzi her pickaxe, but before she can reach it, a Landing Pod hits Uzi and goes propelling through space with her.
Uzi is hanging onto the ship, but before she can go down, N uses his tail to pull her in and happily exclaims he is a spaceship pilot. Uzi angrily slams N, due to him crashing into her while she was talking to Nori, but her anger turns to joy and sadness when she hugs him, saying that he was supposed to get away. N mentions that he is also mad about Uzi's sacrifice, but gets panicked when they get on the verge of crashing into meteors. When they get secured, Uzi and N share a quick heartfelt moment, before the former starts cackling and yells out 'THEN DIE MAD, BI-'. This moment is interrupted when a tendril breaks through the ship, with a message from Cyn appearing, telling them to stop. She then proceeds to destroy the ship, with Uzi and N dropping from the explosion.
While they drop, Uzi and N take the moment to discuss their relationship, and confirm that they are officially dating, with Uzi crying tears of joy. After another hug, they then prepare for the battle with Cyn as they crash into the planet.
J is begrudgingly sitting on an island while Cyn uses the tendrils to drag the remainder of the ship, which J approves of. Thad, Lizzy and Khan are dangling at the edge, trying to reach for the railgun. J attempts to set off into the hole, but gravity pulls her towards the ground. She tries to escape further before getting exasperated and shooting a missile at the group. Before the missile could reach them, the red-eyed Sentinel from the facility appears with V riding on its back, revealing the latter survived the Sentinel attack. V deflects the missile sent by J as the latter looks on angrily.
V angrily confronts J, accusing her of betraying their squadron and her partnership with Cyn. Text messages on Lizzy's phone show that V informed her best friend of her survival, sharing a selfie taming the Sentinel and enlisting Lizzy's help. V asks Lizzy to find J and distract her upon location. The Sentinel eyes Lizzy, and then proceeds to aggressively shake her with it's mouth. While this is going on, V slams J backwards, which causes the island to tilt and send everyone flying through space.
The angry confrontation between V and J continues as the former exclaims that they were supposed to get away, do their jobs on Copper 9 so the Solver leaves them alone. J angrily swings V away, telling her to grow up. She then goes on to say that it tricked V, and if J promised her anything else, then it tricked her too, revealing she was aware of Tessa's fate. She then continues to say that there is no escape, even in death as she slashes V's leg. She attempts to convince V to be on the 'winning team, as a team'. V grabs J's hand, only to rip it off.
Before they can continue, Uzi and N appear and throw a black hole at their location, which cuts through the planet and temporarily disables the tendrils produced by the Absolute Solver. But when they land, Cyn finally reveals herself, destroying Uzi's black hole. She welcomes them and attempts a callback ping on Uzi, aiming to assert control. Uzi resists, retorting with her signature line, 'Bite me.'
This then prompts Cyn to rush her by cutting her hand off and push her core out of her body. Before any further damage, N comes in and tries to hit Cyn, which she teleports away from. Uzi tries to recover from the damage while Cyn pulls N to the ground. She starts to claw into N's chest, repeating the words 'Let me in.' Uzi sees this and musters enough power to collapse the balcony they are on. By rotating some more platforms, Uzi manages to land onto the balcony of a nearby building with N's body.
Uzi uses the distraction of N to escape from Cyn into the corridors with N's body, giving him time to regenerate while hiding from Cyn within the building. J rescinds her earlier offer for V to change sides and coldly declares she never needed either her or N.
Cyn catches up to Uzi and N, and attempts another Callback Ping to locate the two. Uzi nearly gets possessed, but manages to get through. Soon, they hear V's voice calling out to N and stating that Tessa was Cyn and she was there. She says she doesn't know how much N remembers, but that Cyn tricked them and tricked J too. Cyn makes a hologram of N, which V mistakes for the real N as she profusely apologizes for her dishonesty, admitting that she was afraid for them and especially N. The real N yells at V to stop, which results in his heart being grabbed by Cyn. Cyn tells V the original deal: that if she and N did their jobs, she would leave them alone. V stammers "I-I can still-", Cyn tells V that she ultimately did a 'bad job'. Cyn chases a severely panicking V out of the building who flies out hyperventilating, then getting kicked into the ground by J. Cyn exits the building and throws N's corpse next to V. She then prepares to eat N's 'heart', laughing as V watches in horror. However, Khan closes a nearby door on Cyn, causing her to lose grip and "Squirmy worm"s N's core back towards his body. Cyn curses this, proclaiming "God-fucking-dammit" while being censored by voice glitches.
In exasperation, Cyn attempts to slice V and N apart, before Uzi reappears and cuts off her tail, claiming that no one can traumatise N and V but her, also stating that they are “weirdly hot” in the process. She acknowledges V's return, and the two share a respectful smile. Cyn deems this "boring and annoying" and attempts to use her Callback Ping to take control of Uzi again. However, it backfires, and it appears that Cyn is being corrupted by Uzi briefly before Uzi gives a brief monologue about being finally free from the Solver's grip. She catches the pickaxe from Nori, who cheers her daughter on as she also throws her music player to the ground, which begins to play nightcore music. Uzi also catches the railgun with her tail and takes aim at J and Cyn's direction, while J's right eye flashes "prior hazard".
The battle starts off with Uzi and Cyn tossing black holes at each other, which collide and deflect towards Cyn. Cyn dodges, and the black holes fly into the distance, impacting the ground with large explosions. Uzi shoots her railgun at J, cutting off one of her pigtails and finally briefly knocking her out with the railgun. Uzi and Cyn then begin exchanging blows, and at one point, Cyn tries to trick Uzi with a hologram by making it seem she stabbed her pickaxe into N's heart. J attempts to sweep in for an attack, but V covers for Uzi and firmly tells J that she is on the wrong team, while a now-recovered N tells Cyn there would be no more tricks. J is then disarmed and blasted into the pits below them, while Uzi, N and V regroup. N suggests they have a secret handshake, to V's annoyance. Uzi, N and V then perform a mass attack on Cyn, leading to Cyn briefly stabbing N, Uzi slicing Cyn's head, Cyn trying to attack Uzi again but to be stopped by V. N and Uzi would be distracted trying to come up with this handshake as V fights Cyn. After freeing her from being pinned by Cyn, Uzi and N perform their finalized handshake, including V now as well. Eventually, Cyn isolates Uzi from N and V. Uzi notices Cyn flickering, and turns around to catch Cyn teleporting behind her. As Uzi does this, her hand pierces through Cyn's chest. She then pulls Cyn's heart out and incinerates it with her Solver by cutting a hole through Copper 9 for the sun to shine through. However, this leaves behind a black hole which expands, consuming Uzi and Cyn and rendering everything monochrome. Inside, Cyn's body attempts to eat the core and revive, and in a fit of desperation, Uzi swallows the core herself, leaving Cyn shocked.
The black hole disappears, and Cyn's body falls to its knees, slowly melting away without the core to keep it together, leaving nothing besides a few bones. However, as N and V approach Uzi, she takes in the corruption from the Solver, appearing sluggish while her visor glitches. Eventually, Uzi blacks out and presumably falls onto a separate floating island.
A few moments later, Uzi reawakens, looking at the new red and rainy atmosphere as the other drones recover - Lizzy is helped up by Thad, and her phone hits Khan on the head, who nearly falls before Nori saves him. Before he can thank her, though, she exclaims that he does not know her, and that she hates him, before running away, apparently sobbing. Khan notes the interaction as 'kinda hot,' leading the Teacher, who had just climbed up, to slip back down in reply. The red-eyed sentinel reappears driving the bus and begins chasing Khan, Thad, and Lizzy around, much to the latter's exasperation.
V and N finally rediscover Uzi, but V immediately backs away and aims her gun at Uzi upon noticing her two-toned eyes. After Uzi says she is now a 'damaged OC,' V annoyedly determines that it's still Uzi. Uzi and N share a highly joyful hug and spin, before Uzi jumps onto and clings to V as means to annoy her, the former cackling all the while.
Later on, Uzi makes a presentation out of the event in class, and ultimately admits that she does not hate it on Copper 9, and that they should have stayed behind the doors. This time, most of the class claps for her, with N cheering in support of his girlfriend, Khan cheering at the mention of doors, and Lizzy and V booing in the back (with a cutaway to Doll's corpse, which has been moved to the classroom and is sitting in a chair). V is hit by a paper airplane, revealing N's new drawing skills (derived from a 'How to Draw Manga' book), to which V was impressed about. Uzi also surprises the class by simultaneously using what is presumably Cyn's Absolute Solver abilities merged with her own.
The credits play, showcasing several further events, including an arrow from the Absolute Solver's symbol carved into the planet's crust, J fixing the original drop pod, N and Uzi playing a proper game of cards with the Worker Defense Force manning the door (along with Nori resting on top of Khan's head,) Doll as a silhouette of herself appearing in the school hallways, N and Uzi watching an anime together (with characters resembling themselves, perhaps based off of their story), and the class holding a funeral for Doll. N and Uzi also share a dance in the sky, while V plays chess with the red-eyed Sentinel, Lizzy also in attendance. In another, V and Lizzy can be seen having some kind of snowball fight with N, Uzi, and Thad, as both teams hide behind large objects, Uzi hurling a snowball at V and Lizzy. A cryosleep unit is also shown, with an entity resembling the original Eldritch J slithering inside of it.
As a post-credits scene, Uzi stands outside of her locker, staring into its mirror. It shows the Solver's camera eyes, then Uzi flickering blue like a hologram. Now possessing her tail, the Solver comments that she looks great, but suggests that she tries a bow on, perching Tessa's signature bow on her head. Uzi promptly shuts the locker, ending off the series with a final "K THX BYEEEEEEEEE".

Trivia[]
- When Cyn began approaching Uzi and N right before attempting a callback ping on the latter, she resembled Tessa in the dark.
- This episode reveals V is alive, and the friend that Lizzy mentioned in Mass Destruction was indeed V.
- In Home, Cyn's visor displayed a puppy. However, fast-forward to this episode, she now displayed a fully grown golden retriever, symbolizing they've all grown up.
- In the comments section, Glitch stated that they may want do more with Uzi and N, hinting at more Murder Drones media being possible in the future.
- Despite having a prominent appearance, neither the Teacher nor Lizzy spoke in this episode. However, Lizzy did grunt vocally when she saw V's Sentinel controlling the school bus, and later booed at Uzi alongside V at the end of the episode when the former is doing her presentation.
- This is the first and only episode that shows Cyn growing wings.
- When Cyn turns into a hologram of N, the words "[PRANK]" and then ">:3" afterwards can be seen appearing.
- The name of the red-eyed Sentinel wearing Beau's hat was revealed to be "Sparky" on the Glitch Inn by animator Joe Marshall, when a user asked for the Sentinel's name.[1]
- During the scene where the Teacher was grading Uzi's essay, her notes on the paper shows the sentence "I AM GOD" being rewritten over and over again. This is a reference that dates back to Heartbeat, where she yells aloud that "[She is] GOD."
- When V starts talking to N in the hallway about Tessa being Cyn, the beginning of Eternal Dream can be briefly heard.
- This is the first and only episode that properly shows J with the "X" face. While she was seen with the "X" face in Murder Drones (Pilot), she was only a silhouette at that time.
- In the end of the video, Uzi is seen wearing the same headset that Nori wore in "Mass Destruction".
- Inside the landing pod that N flew, multiple carvings of the Absolute Solver icon can be seen embedded on the table.
- While briefly seen in not even a second, Cyn, while transforming back into herself after shapeshifting into N, is shown displaying the emoticon ":P" as her eyes.
- While trying to steal the railgun from Uzi, J ended up being tangled by the former's tail and was held in place. That's why she was unable to move as Cyn unintentionally threw the pickaxe at her direction.
- If one were to look closely, there is a sentence written on the mirror in Uzi's locker that says "Thad was here."
- When Cyn was chasing after Uzi and N before stopping, her eyes were both replaced with the Absolute Solver symbol.
- The file name of the video clip that Uzi is shown playing before the credits rolled in is named "VisstinkyHeheh.mp4."
- In the credits:
- In a Behind The Scenes event from the Glitch Inn Discord server, for the part that had the Doll silhouette, the "silhouette" of Doll was an actual model of Doll's corpse with colors. However, they used effects to make her appear as a black silhouette.[2]
- While J is fixing the spaceship, Tessa's astronaut hat is seen sitting on top of one of the ship's legs.
- The two characters in the anime show that both Uzi and N were watching are the human designs of Uzi and V.
Errors[]
- When Uzi gets hit by N's ship, also hitting Nori off her rock, the rock has the word 'Whoops' written on it again.
- After Cyn pulls out N from behind the wall after he shouts at V, his screen shows 'FATAL ERROR' in red letters. However, shortly after, once N and V are outside, it is written in yellow letters.
- At 6:00, Lizzy's hair is clipping through the ice a little.
- Since it is implied that Cyn literally took out Tessa's skeleton (except for her bone fingers) in order to fit herself in, logically, there would be no more bones left. However, through quite the occasions, Cyn is heard making bone snapping noises both in this episode and in "Mass Destruction". Her death also included Tessa's bones falling into the ground despite this.
- At 8:22, Cyn's solver symbol on her visor is fully visible, despite Tessa's skin blocking some of her visor, which would otherwise cover up a decent portion of it.
- At 13:54 Uzi's tail is not connected to her body.
- At 18:47, V's hand clips into her arm.
- After having her head separated from her body because of Cyn unintentionally throwing the pickaxe at her, J would've been deemed dead after this (as seen with N when his head was ripped off from his body by Cyn). However, her visor does not have the letters 'FATAL ERROR' on her screen and continues to display her usual expression despite this.
- During the credits, Uzi's eyes are solid purple instead of the gradient they should be.
- When both V and Lizzy booed at Uzi during her class presentation, Lizzy's hair is clipping through V's.
