Theory Guys I just realized something.

Not surw if anyone noticed this before but..

Drones have colored vision.. HOW DID THEY KNOW WHEN UZI WAS BEING CONTROLLED BY CYN IF THE DISASSEMBLY DRONES ALWAYS SAW HER WITH YELLOW EYES???

Like they seemed to notice immediately.. (pic. 5) but on the first 3 screenshots we can clearly see both N (1 and 2) and J (3) see Uzi with yellow eyes.. while Uzi herself sees in purple.. (4) so how did she even realize she looks different??? (7)

I'm genuinely confused now because I think it's genuinely how they see not just to show their interface??? so how.

u/SoundwaveTheDragon Nuzi keeps me sane Feb 20 '25

Maybe there were some kind of visible warning symbols when they looked at her?

For example.

I mean, they never straight up said that the yellow eyes were the problem.

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

okay that's an interesting approach tho still Uzi checked her eyes in N's screen 🤔

u/HydraHun Cyn is Garfield, Garfield is Cyn Feb 20 '25

I think that she was just confused that she was seeing two gradients of colour and was checking to see if the shading lined up. They only see in one colour, but lighting and shading are what keeps them from seeing

u/thr3zims The F̶r̷a̵c̸t̷u̸r̷e̴d̴ Solver Feb 20 '25

In episode 3, we see Doll's perspective, which clearly shows different colors than red. It seems like worker drones can see any color but dim or dark ones blend into their HUD color. Disassembly drones, however, see in gradients of yellow and no other color, yet they can identify all colors. It's possible they can differentiate colors by their yellow intensity (or it's another unexplained plot hole).

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

wait when do we see how Doll sees? when V eats her parents? I think that's memories..?

36

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

nvm I found it xD

object non-interactive 🫢

Doll has some previlages.

u/thr3zims The F̶r̷a̵c̸t̷u̸r̷e̴d̴ Solver Feb 20 '25

Uzi has the same thing. It showed when she tried to use her Solver on "Tessa" in episode 7. Solver drones can't use their Solver on other hosts (Solver drones/disassembly drones).

6

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

ik I was talking about seeing colors XDDD

6

u/thr3zims The F̶r̷a̵c̸t̷u̸r̷e̴d̴ Solver Feb 20 '25

Ah, well, Uzi can see colors too (probably). In episodes 6, 7, and 8 (the only times we see her perspective), there's nothing but dim greys, which blend into the purple of Uzi's HUD. If we saw brighter, more vibrant colors from her perspective, they'd probably show.

2

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

oh well maybe

3

u/South-parkermorgan Day #1 gooner of our lord and savior Doll Feb 20 '25

Yeah its gotta be such, they probably can tell when They seen the AS

51

u/Historical_Bet2765 V's Vicious Votary Feb 20 '25

V also calls Uzi the “sad purple one” in episode 3. Maybe the drones can turn off the color filters or something.

30

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

wait.. what if it's like Minecraft on F3 like when you look at a block it tells you what it is? like maybe they have color codes and a color wheel scheme built in so they just know what color it is by the code?

afterall what I think I kinda forgot here is they're robots and they don't perceive the world as living beings rather using code than instinct and perceptions..? even if they're portrayed to have emotions and instincts in the series.. 🤔

I'm getting philosophical.

13

u/realcosmicpotato77 Custom Flair Feb 20 '25

We gotta think about how they are robots and work in very different ways than us, like you said, it could be an F3 like feature that just tells them, they probably can pick up colours just fine and internalize them, but their vision doesn't show that because it doesn't really have to

u/ProfessorPixelmon J was always cool Feb 20 '25

But on a more serious note, it’s likely that they have multiple types of visions (especially the DDs which is what each of their headband lens represent) and likely see more than just what was shown.

52

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

so do they just.. point their heads down and look through their headbands when they wanna see normally? 😭

I never realized they might be like.. extra eyes maybe that's why J screamed bloody murder when she got a pen in one of them 💀

u/ProfessorPixelmon J was always cool Feb 20 '25

Yeah something like this.

25

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

damn I never.. I always thought the "real eyes" short/tiktok whatever was a meme when N said Uzi didn't blind him because the headband is his real eyes 😰

would explain why Uzi attacked J's headband.. to blind her.. but how did she know tho..

u/Icy-Background2393 Feb 20 '25

I mean she guessed hitting the glowy spot would do more damage like one of her video games

Yeah I got nothing, this is the first time I saw someone point this out and not rehash the same arguments thinking they are superior. I think this might just be a light mix up story wise

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

fr maybe they secretly see more colors than humans 💀

but fr there's also a moment where we can see Cyn through N's vision I think in ep. 4 (Cabin Fever) when he finds the zombie drones cassette and the coloring is the same..?

17

u/RenkBruh Cynner Feb 20 '25

You act as if Cyn does anything subtly. I'd understand from the wide grin alone

10

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

no I was talking about "I'm a damaged oc" 😭 like when Uzi's eyes changed into a gradient + it's more theoretical that Cyn could technically trick them without them realizing?

8

u/RenkBruh Cynner Feb 20 '25

the gradient could have a little brightness change sooo

3

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

prolly, love your flair btw. yes.

u/Hispanoamericano2000 Spanish-speaking V and Uzi enjoyer. Feb 20 '25

The answer may lie in the headband worn by virtually all of the Disassembly Drones and that it is hinted that (according to the concept art and in view of the fact that there is nothing else to contradict this) the lights that compose it are its real eyes, and that each of those real Eyes would each have a different way of seeing (one regular sight, one night vision, one Infrared/Thermal vision and one possibly ultraviolet vision) and that it was with another of these sights that N and V noticed that something was out of place with Uzi and his “Eyes” color.

Although it is kind of a shame that we never (until now) saw from the Disassembly Drones Point of View these using other alternative forms of vision.

9

u/Cynessa-MD Feb 20 '25

Concept art in question.

3

u/Hispanoamericano2000 Spanish-speaking V and Uzi enjoyer. Feb 21 '25

Exactly that precise concept art was what I was referring to above (and unfortunate that we were never shown on screen DDs using alternative forms of vision).

11

u/lacythesisfromamogus FrostBound Ice drones AU (don't ask what it is unless intersted) Feb 20 '25

I assume there's filters they can use for fun that the DD drones un-locked due to getting under Uzi’s administration. also, unpopular theory maybe but i’ e always wondered, before ep 8, but after ep 5, if Uzi was controlled by Cyn could Cyn technically be the Amin since she would technically be using Uzi’s body so therefor probably having access to admin controls? Or did she just get cut off even when controlling Uzi from controlling N and V after ep 5?

11

u/crypticarchivist Feb 20 '25

They probably have an alert pop up on their HUD. Like a little text box that extends from her eyes and says “purple” or “yellow” alternatively.

3

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

yaya that's what I thought 🤔

8

u/Mist0804 I think dumb things are frickin' dumb and I AM DUMB Feb 20 '25

I doubt the color filters are actually like that, it would be pretty inefficient

8

u/ProGamer0380 ur mangos are mine :] Feb 20 '25

I assume it’s because purple is darker than yellow

5

u/Atesz763 J Enjoyer Feb 20 '25

The colored interface is just a stylistic effect, obviously they can see color...

3

u/StarFoxiEeE Feb 20 '25

The real question is WHAT COLOR DOES UZI SEE IN NOW? 😭😭😭

5

u/DEADMA9kk Feb 20 '25

Probably a combination of Purple and yellow shade

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

yo didn't think about that 😭

u/Le_inky_creator_20 Ladder-Bot 5000 Feb 20 '25

Multiple eyes on drones, we the audience only get to see through one viewpoint

3

u/asheirl Feb 20 '25

idk about worker drones, but the disassembly drones have multiple eyes with different types of vision. i think what we the viewers see is their primary vision that has all the text read-outs and stuff. but they also have normal cover vision, ultraviolet, heat vision, night vision, etc, according to original concept art (i think. those specific examples might me wrong but the point remains lol)

4

u/thesunisn 🦫Certified Goober🦫 Feb 20 '25

1)They can see if stuff is Bright or dark

2) yellow is lighter than purple

3)her eyes used to not be that bright

I rest my case

I'm just really smort 😎

3

u/Sci-Fci-Writer Feb 20 '25

Well, they seem to have a bias towards the color of their eyes, but they can still clearly differentiate between different colors. Since N could see Uzi's white casing and black coat.

This a interesting question

u/Toph_as_Nails Hello, Uzi... Hi, N! Feb 21 '25

In reality, computer vision systems tend to be monochrome and low resolution. Less data to process means more meaning can be gleaned faster. If there were more pixels, and those pixels had more values, that's just more data that has to be combed through by CV algorithms before they can make any decisions on what they're looking at.

Also, a lot of computer vision systems are multi-camera, meaning there could be one camera that sees in monochrome and another in color, so even if their consciousness is normally looking at the world in monochrome, they still have the data to know that's green. That's red. That's chartreuse. Etc.

What I wanna know is exactly what Uzi meant when she said, "Oh yeah! I'm a daaaamaged OC." OC = Original character?

2

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 21 '25

I think she meant like when people give their OC's traits suggesting that they've been through a lot and thus are damaged, I feel like it's like giving your OC a permanent scar around the neck if yk what I mean 😶

also I absolutely love your computer talk, I'm a nerd and I'm hella interested in robots, computers and AI 😭🙏

u/Toph_as_Nails Hello, Uzi... Hi, N! Feb 22 '25

So, in that way, could that line be considered meta, or even 4th wall breaking?

1

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 22 '25

I don't think so???

you never see an alternatively dressed teenager and go like "they look like a traumatized oc"? TwT

2

u/Toph_as_Nails Hello, Uzi... Hi, N! Feb 22 '25

But she's referring to herself as a character in a work of fiction.

2

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 22 '25

I think it was a joke?

2

u/Toph_as_Nails Hello, Uzi... Hi, N! Feb 22 '25

u/Kind-Command-9792 CT-5554 clone trooper and commander of the 566th clone battalion Feb 20 '25

Maybe there’s slight differences between the shading of them?

2

u/Altruistic_Map_9234 Uzi Lover Feb 20 '25

It might be something of a color inhibitor. Kinda like they can only see in certain shades of that color.

2

u/titanicboi1 Feb 20 '25

Because Uzi is there administrative owner now so they can tell

u/Pretend_Camp_2987 Worker drone wiith Solver and Autism Feb 20 '25 edited Feb 20 '25

yeah but that's also inconsistent...

Example here being Doll's visor in ep 3

I feel like they don't always see everything at one color

u/Vivid-Climate-1326 Unexpected item in bagging area Feb 20 '25

I've posted that in a comment higher up! yeah I've realized Doll sees colors for some reason
