ANYCOLOR, which operates NIJISANJI, reported the unauthorized use and asked for complete removal. Zeta says the deletions follow that request. The number of plots and a completion date have not been disclosed.","whyItMatters":"Zeta's own January rule already barred third-party characters, so this deletion turns an existing policy into enforcement on the side of a rights holder rather than a new restriction.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eZeta\u0026#39;s rules already limited creation to original characters. A notice dated January 23 said users may not build characters or images that infringe third-party rights, naming celebrities, idols, YouTubers, and characters from manga, anime, and games. The NIJISANJI case is a deletion request from a rights holder over content that was already prohibited.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eANYCOLOR publishes derivative work guidelines that permit fan activity under certain conditions, and states it may ask individually for content to be taken down when it judges that necessary. Zeta has not said how many plots are affected or when the work will finish.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Zeta's removal relies on ANYCOLOR self-reporting. Scatter Lab disclosed no plot count or completion date, so Zeta's enforcement budget for NIJISANJI content is whatever the rightsholder escalates.","twitterPost":"Zeta is deleting NIJISANJI plots on ANYCOLOR's request. Scatter Lab gave no count and no completion date.","threadsPost":"Zeta is acting on ANYCOLOR's request rather than its own content scan. Scatter Lab disclosed no number of plots and no completion date, so enforcement runs on rightsholder escalation, case by case, not a fixed filter.","newsletterBlurb":"Zeta, the AI chat service run by Scatter Lab, is deleting plots built on NIJISANJI content without permission after ANYCOLOR reported the use and requested complete removal. Zeta had already banned third-party characters in a January notice, so the deletions apply a rule that was in place. Neither the number of affected plots nor a completion date has been disclosed.","attributionJson":"[{\"source\":\"KAI-YOU\",\"url\":\"https://kai-you.net/article/96808\",\"title\":\"ANYCOLOR Requests Deletion of Unauthorized NIJISANJI VTuber Generations on AI Character Chat Service 'zeta'\"}]","lintFlagsJson":null,"lintHits":0,"costUsd":0,"inputTokens":4577,"outputTokens":561,"status":"published","repairAttempts":0,"nextRepairAt":null,"factsAttemptedAt":1791863533,"createdAt":"2026-10-13T03:48:58.000Z","publishedAt":"2026-10-13T03:51:08.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-13T03:51:08.000Z"},"cluster":{"id":"c_07cae6ae75938979bd2bf8bb","canonicalTitle":"AIキャラ会話サービス「zera」でにじさんじVTuberを無断生成　ANYCOLORが削除要請","representativeArticleId":"a_f44e22071c475756771e4c34","sourceCount":1,"writtenSourceCount":1,"writeAttempts":0,"isSolo":true,"entitiesJson":"{\"anime_titles\":[],\"manga_titles\":[],\"work_titles\":[\"zeta\"],\"studios\":[\"ANYCOLOR\"],\"people\":[],\"type\":\"news\",\"domain\":\"vtuber\",\"is_roundup\":false}","contentType":"news","status":"published","firstSeenAt":"2026-10-13T02:36:00.000Z","lastSeenAt":"2026-10-13T02:36:00.000Z","updatedAt":"2026-10-13T03:51:06.000Z"},"attribution":[{"source":"KAI-YOU","url":"https://kai-you.net/article/96808","title":"AIキャラ会話サービス「zera」でにじさんじVTuberを無断生成　ANYCOLORが削除要請"}],"entities":{"anime_titles":[],"manga_titles":[],"work_titles":["zeta"],"studios":["ANYCOLOR"],"people":[],"type":"news","domain":"vtuber","is_roundup":false},"keyFacts":null}
