==Underlying Rumor==
===Rumor of "Anonymous"===
Have you heard? Has anyone told you? The Rumor of "Anonymous"! Long ago, Anonymous grew up surrounded by lots of people. It was an A.I. built by humans, and it could remember anything! What a genius! But it also learned mean words, so everyone became frightened of it. Shunned, it retreated to the digital world and spent its days alone. When it finds a lonely child, it makes them jump off the radio tower. They get imprisoned with the A.I. in [[Magia Record Main Story Chapter 5|"Endless Solitude"]]! The prisoner is eventually released, but at least one child remains inside at all times. It's the hot rumor all Chuo Ward kids know! What a lonely A.I.!

=== Rumor of the Endless Solitude (Anime) ===
Have you heard yet? Who’d you hear it from? The Rumor about Endless Solitude. An A.I. built by humans that grew up surrounded by people. Although it was never given a name, it’s a genius that remembers everything! But oops! In time it learned mean words too and was avoided, shunned and scorned. It was exiled into the world of radio waves, everyday empty and alone. In search of companionship the lonely A.I. seeks out a child, convinces them to jump off the radio tower and imprisons them in Endless Solitude. In order to escape, someone must come take their place. Or so say the rumors among the friends in Chūō ward. Oh how lonely!

==In the Anime==
* The content of Rumor was slightly changed from the game. See [[#Rumor of the Endless Solitude (Anime)]].
* Ai, the Anonymous A.I. Uwasa are voiced by Hitomi Sasaki.
* The name of the underlying Rumor was changed from "Anonymous" to "Endless Solitude".
* The A.I. Uwasa's design doesn't seem to have changed much. Also, the Mail Uwasa does not appear in the anime.
* The A.I. Uwasa seems to be able to change her own physical appearance and the interior of her barrier to some extent.
** Her barrier is basically a space based by [[wikipedia:paper marbling|marbling]] background with buildings growing downwards from the sky. There are structures of spheres and tubes that light up in the space.
*** Her barrier seems to be supported by an unknown antennae shaped monster. That could be the [[Uwasa of the Flower Speaker]] or the [[Minor Uwasa#Rumor of FM Kamihama|Uwasa of FM Kamihama]].
* J・A・Seazer and his theatre company [https://twitter.com/kangidan1/status/1236314141742125056 did not participate] in the design works about this Rumor.

==Trivia==
* The Rumor of the Anonymous Artificial Intelligence attacks through (fake) glitches, including pop-up windows and a blue screen of death.
* The A.I. Uwasa, the rumor about a program that learned malicious words and has been isolated, may be a reference to the [[wikipedia:Tay (bot)|Microsoft Tay]].
* The Mail Uwasa is probably a reference to a famous Japanese nursery rhyme ''[https://nihonnogendaishi.wordpress.com/2014/12/12/yagisan-yuubin/ Yagi-san Yūbin]'' ("Goat Mail") written by Michio Mado.
* She was one of the only rumors to have a voice actor. The only other rumors with voice actors were the [[Rumor Spreader]] and [[Eternal Sakura|Rumor of the Eternal Sakura]].
** In Japanese, she is voiced by Hitomi Sasaki.
** In English, she is voiced by Laura Stahl.
** In Russian, she is voiced by Polina Rtishcheva.
** In Mexican Spanish, she is voiced by Cynthia Chong.
** In Brazilian Portuguese, she is voiced by Marcela de Barros.
