Zenless Zone Zero's Virtual Idols: Sunna and Aria Bring Music, Mayhem, and Missed Rent Payments
Zenless Zone Zero introduces the dynamic Virtual Idols, Angels of Delusion, blending monster mayhem with electrifying pop performances in 2026.
In the ever-evolving world of 2026, the Hollows aren't just filled with monsters and mayhem—they're also echoing with the sweet, slightly chaotic sounds of a new pop group. HoYoverse's Zenless Zone Zero has officially unveiled the first members of its long-teased "Virtual Idols" faction, the Angels of Delusion. For players who dipped into the summer event, one face might already be familiar, but for her landlord, she's just the musician who consistently forgets that rent is a thing that exists in the material world. Meet Sunna and Aria, the duo (soon to be trio) who are about to prove that saving the city and hitting the high notes are not mutually exclusive pursuits.

Sunna: The Maestro of Mayhem
If the Angels of Delusion had a mission statement, it would probably be written on a napkin that Sunna then used to scribble a melody. She's the group's composer and pianist, a creative spirit so powerful it has a gravitational pull on common sense. To her teammates, Aria and the yet-to-be-fully-revealed Nangong Yu, she's the brilliant, passionate heart of their musical endeavors. To the poor soul who owns the practice room they rent, however, the trio is collectively known as "those careless airheads"—a title earned primarily through a consistent and impressive track record of late payments.
But let's be real, it's never out of malice. When Sunna gets into her flow state, the world outside her music simply... evaporates. Bills? Due dates? The landlord's increasingly desperate texts? All tuned out like background static. Her signature quote says it all: "Aaaaaah! I'm so—so nervous… I just wish I could find a way… to make the entire audience disappear!" It's the kind of stage fright that makes you want to delete the audience file from reality itself. You gotta love the dedication, even if it's, you know, slightly problematic for group logistics.
Her creative process is legendary. Just thinking about Aria's voice giving life to her compositions is enough to fuel all-nighters. She's the archetype of the tortured artist, if the "torture" was mostly self-inflicted via caffeine and perfectionism.
Aria: The Singer Who Does... Everything?
Then there's Aria. Oh, Aria. If Sunna is the chaotic creative brain, Aria is the impossibly competent, radiantly smiling face and voice of the operation. This isn't just some idol who can hold a tune—this is a one-woman powerhouse. Let's break down her resume, shall we?
-
Vocal Prowess: Her voice is the muse that keeps Sunna awake at night. It's presumably angelic.
-
Dance Machine: Can dance non-stop. The stamina is frankly suspicious.
-
Combat Capable: She can, according to official lore, "save unruly children from the Hollows." Let that sink in. While you were practicing your dance routine, she was out there rescuing kids from interdimensional monsters. Talk about a versatile skill set!
This has led to rampant fan speculation in 2026: Is Aria even human? The prevailing theory is that she might be an Intelligent Construct in camouflage. I mean, it would explain the boundless energy and the ability to switch from pop star to Hollow-slaying hero on a dime. Her catchphrase, "Together, let's create the most bea~utiful stage in the world!" takes on a new, slightly terrifying meaning when you imagine her building that stage literally from the wreckage of defeated monsters.
The Dynamic (and Dysfunctional) Duo
Together, Sunna and Aria represent the perfect, messy yin and yang of idol life.
| Trait | Sunna | Aria |
|---|---|---|
| Role | Composer/Pianist | Singer/Performer |
| Energy | Nervous, creative chaos | Radiant, boundless competence |
| Awareness | Oblivious to rent, bills, reality | Probably handles the group's taxes |
| Hobby | Composing masterpieces | Rescuing children & dancing forever |
| Likely Quote | "I forgot to eat again." | "I saved a bakery from a Hollow before breakfast!" |
Their relationship is the engine of the group. Sunna's compositions are born from the dream of hearing Aria sing them, and Aria's performances are fueled by Sunna's passionate, if scatterbrained, genius. You can just picture their group chat:
-
Landlord: "Rent was due last week."
-
Sunna: "I just wrote a bridge that will make angels weep! Listen!" [sends 3-minute voice memo of piano keys]
-
Aria: "So sorry! I'll bring it by today. Also, I found a lost puppy in Sector 5. He's our new mascot."
What's Next for the Angels of Delusion?
With Nangong Yu still waiting in the wings, the trio is not yet complete. What role will the third member play? The manager who finally gets the rent paid on time? The lyricist? Another combat specialist? The possibilities are as endless as Sunna's capacity for distraction.
One thing's for certain in 2026: the Hollows just got a lot more musical. Players can look forward to not only epic proxy battles but also the behind-the-scenes drama of managing a band that can't remember its utility bills but can definitely clear a monster-infested zone. Will their music calm the Hollows, or will their chaotic energy create new ones? Only time, and probably several missed deadlines, will tell. The stage is set, the rent is overdue, and the show must go on. Break a leg, ladies. Just maybe not in the practice room you haven't paid for.
