Underlying Rumor
Rumor of "Anonymous"
Official Translation: 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 ginius! 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 kid, it makes them jump off the radio tower. They get imprisoned with the A.I. in "Endless Solitude"! The prisoner is eventually released, but at least one kid remains inside at all times. It's the hot rumor all Chuo Ward kids know! What a lonely A.I.!

Fan Translation: “My, have you heard? Who’d you hear it from? The Rumor of the Anonymous Mail! One unread message? One hundred? One THOUSAND!? These couriers deliver Miss A.I.’s regards to every corner of the 'Net! With her paper-plane emails strapped to their backs, they each soar over to an address of choice, bleat a ‘ding-a-ling!’ signal to all their fellows, and leave an anonymous email behind! Sometimes, you can even see them peeking out of your phone screen. It’s a rumour that ALL the people in Chuuou Ward are talking about. Who the heck is THIS?!” Official Translation: Have you heard? Has anyone told you? The Rumor of the Anonymous Message! It sends 1 message, then 100, and 1,000! It's the postman that carries these messages for the Anonymous AI. It attaches a paper airplane to its back with a message written on it and gets blown away. Then, ding! Everyone receives an anonymous message! The people in Chuo Ward are saying sometimes it even shows its face on your screen. Who IS that?! | ||||
In the Anime
- The content of Rumor was slightly changed from the game. Here's the text of Rumor that was changed (It's a fan translation).
Have you heard? Has anyone told you? The Rumor of the Endless Solitude! It is an artificial intelligence built and grew up surrounded by lots of people! It has been brought up without a name, and it could remember anything. What a ginius! But, however it also learned malicious words, so it was shunned, despised, isolated to the digital world and then it spent its days alone and fruitlessly! It search for lonely kids and makes them jump off the radio tower. They get imprisoned with such a pathetic A.I in "Endless Solitude"! If the prisoner want to escape, they'll have to bring someone else in to replace them. It's the hot Rumor among the group in Chūō ward! What a stand-alone!

- 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 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 Uwasa of FM Kamihama.

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 Microsoft Tay.
- The Mail Uwasa is probably a reference to a famous Japanese nursery rhyme Yagi-san Yūbin ("Goat Mail") written by Michio Mado.
