Overlorder using Grayscaling in the Control Room

“	Intruders confirmed. Commence Grayscaling.	”
— Marina Agitando about to commence Grayscaling

Grayscaling is a process used by Order to pull many people's minds into the Memverse. Anyone who goes through it also loses their free will in reality as well.

Description

Marina Agitando about to commence Grayscaling before her boss fight

The process is used to forcibly connect as many people as possible to the Memverse through their Sea-Cucumber Phones, and to also neutralize the will of everyone trapped in the virtual world. This results in the loss of their free will in reality, as well as their real-world connections. The process looks visibly similar to that of black-and-white images and videos.

In the events of Side Order, Marina, controlled by Order, was the first to use Grayscaling as the tutorial boss. Agent 8 and Pearl Drone need to save her. Order attempts to Grayscale Splatsville and Inkopolis Plaza on the first successful climb to the Control Room in the Spire of Order, but this is eventually rendered unsuccessful after Agent 8 defeats it.

Etymology

Grayscaling comes from gray, scaling, and grayscale. The word gray, aside from its literal meaning of the color gray, is also a synonym for "boring", "dull", and "featureless", referring to the process of Grayscaling making people the same by taking their free will away, depriving them of their uniqueness, as well as scaling the world's colors down to gray.
