Zenless Zone Zero AI Art: Burnice and the Full Cast (2026)
Zenless Zone Zero nails a look most anime games do not even attempt: urban streetwear, neon signage, oversized weapons, and characters who look like they walked out of a music video. Since HoYoverse launched the game in 2024, fan-art demand has been relentless - and a growing share of it is AI-generated. Our own search data shows the same thing: queries like "burnice ai" and "burnice anime" keep landing people on this site. So here is a proper hub for Zenless Zone Zero AI art - which agents you can generate, how to prompt the ZZZ style, and where the usual tools get in your way.
Quick disclosure up front: we are the team behind goongen.ai, so we are biased about the tool recommendation - we will flag that again where it matters. The character list, prompt tips, and fan-art notes apply no matter which generator you use.
Why ZZZ Characters Generate So Well (and Where They Get Blocked)
Anime-focused models in the Illustrious / SDXL family are trained on booru-style illustration data, where popular characters are tagged by name. ZZZ's cast is heavily represented in that data, so a well-known agent like Burnice or Zhu Yuan renders on-model from a simple character tag - correct hair, outfit, and silhouette - without you building a paragraph-long description. This is the same reason dedicated anime models beat general-purpose generators for this niche, which we covered in the NSFW anime AI generator guide.
The catch is what sits in front of the model. Mainstream generators have been tightening filters around franchise characters since Disney and Universal sued Midjourney in June 2025 over generated images of their copyrighted characters. As of this writing, naming a specific game character in a prompt on a mainstream tool increasingly gets you a block, a warning, or a deliberately off-model result. Add anything suggestive and you are fighting two filters at once - the character filter and the content filter.
We are not going to tell you how to trick those filters, because that is a losing game: the filter updates, your workaround dies, sometimes your account goes with it. The practical answer is to use a tool whose model was built for character work and whose operator does not filter your prompts. That is either local ComfyUI on your own GPU, or a hosted service built for it.
The Adult Cast: Every ZZZ Character Page on goongen.ai
goongen.ai's anime mode catalog has 29 Zenless Zone Zero characters, each with a dedicated page and example images. This hub deliberately features only the clearly adult-presenting agents - the younger-looking and petite members of the cast are intentionally not listed here, even where a page technically exists.
| Agent | Faction / role | Why she works in AI art |
|---|---|---|
| Burnice White | Sons of Calydon's fire-happy mixologist | Twin-tails, goggles, flamethrower energy - the most-searched ZZZ agent on this site by far |
| Caesar King | Leader of the Sons of Calydon | Tall biker-queen design with a shield - reads instantly even in heavy stylization |
| Jane Doe | Undercover investigator | Sleek dark bodysuit and tail - one of the most popular AI-art subjects in the whole game |
| Zhu Yuan | New Eridu public security officer | Cop uniform plus neon city backdrops - pure ZZZ aesthetic |
| Nicole Demara | Boss of the Cunning Hares | Iconic pink-and-black look, expressive and meme-friendly |
| Miyabi Hoshimi | Section 6 swordswoman | Elegant katana poses, frost effects - great for dramatic compositions |
| Yanagi Tsukishiro | Section 6's disciplined second-in-command | Glasses, polearm, lightning - a clean, mature design |
| Grace Howard | Belobog Heavy Industries engineer | Mechanic outfit and cables - industrial scenes fit her perfectly |
| Astra Yao | Celebrity songstress | Stage-lighting and gown prompts produce standout results |
| Soldier 11 | Obol Squad operative | Military hardware plus fire - strong action-shot material |
Also in the catalog with their own pages: Qingyi (android peace officer), Evelyn Chevalier (bodyguard with the ribbon-blade design), Rina (Victoria Housekeeping's head maid), and Trigger (stoic sniper). Every page shows sample generations for that character, and every character supports any scene, pose, or outfit you type - or click together in the prompt builder.
Prompt Tips for the ZZZ Style
ZZZ has a house style, and you get much closer to it with a few deliberate choices:
- Lead with the character tag. On an Illustrious-based model the character selection does the heavy lifting. Pick the agent in the catalog (or tag her by name) before you write anything else.
- Prompt the city, not just the character. New Eridu is half the aesthetic. Tags like "neon lights", "city street at night", "urban", "billboard", "rain" push results from generic anime toward recognizably ZZZ.
- Streetwear beats fantasy costumes. If you swap outfits, stay in the game's lane: "crop top", "jacket", "cargo pants", "headphones", "sneakers" keep the vibe. The outfit changer logic applies here - one clear outfit description beats five conflicting ones.
- Dynamic camera angles. ZZZ's official art loves low angles, dutch tilts, and fisheye energy. "From below", "dynamic angle", "foreshortening" earn their place in the prompt.
- Use faction context. "Motorcycle, desert, dust" for Sons of Calydon agents; "office, evening, video store" for something slice-of-life. Small scene anchors make characters feel in-world.
- Iterate cheaply. Style experiments take volume. On goongen.ai, Endless mode gives you a continuous feed of generations to scroll and refine, which is the fastest way we know to dial in a look. More general prompting patterns are in the prompt library.
If you want to go from stills to motion, the same characters work in anime video mode - image-to-video, up to 10 seconds.
Where to Actually Generate ZZZ Art
The honest comparison, including the bias disclosure from the top - goongen.ai is our project:
| Option | Character accuracy | Filters | Setup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mainstream tools (Midjourney, DALL-E class) | Weak on named gacha characters, and tightening | Character + content filters | None |
| Anime platforms (PixAI, SeaArt class) | Good | Moderate, account required, cloud-stored | None |
| Local ComfyUI + Illustrious | Excellent | None | GPU + real setup time |
| goongen.ai | Excellent (dedicated character catalog) | None | None - no email verification |
Local ComfyUI remains the gold standard if you own the hardware and enjoy the tinkering. goongen.ai exists for everyone who wants that model quality and freedom without the setup: 1,400+ characters on an Illustrious SDXL model, zero-knowledge encryption so the server cannot read your outputs - what you generate is nobody's business but yours, and we could not look at it if we tried - credits instead of a subscription, and crypto payments if you want them. It is deliberately a premium tool: no ads, no spam emails, no monetizing your data - credits pay for GPU time, and that is the whole revenue model. The full privacy architecture is covered in the anonymous AI image generation post. If Genshin is more your franchise, there is a matching hub for Genshin Impact AI art, and character-building basics live in the AI anime character creator guide.
A Quick Note on Fan Art
ZZZ characters belong to HoYoverse. As of this writing, HoYoverse publishes fan-creation guidelines and has historically been permissive toward non-commercial fan work - the enormous fan-art scene around their games exists with the company's blessing. Selling fan merchandise has its own rules (unit caps and mandatory fan-made labeling), and derivative work is not something you can claim copyright over. Practical translation: keep AI fan art personal and non-commercial, never present it as official, and check the current guidelines yourself if you plan to do anything beyond posting for fun. None of this is legal advice.
Two lines we will not cross regardless of tool: real people are off the table entirely, and only the clearly adult cast is featured here - which is exactly how the character selection above was made.
Try It on Burnice First
If you only test one character, make it Burnice - her design is so distinctive that you will immediately see whether a generator actually knows her or is just producing "generic anime girl with orange accents". The free demo gives you 5 images with no card and no email verification, so you can run that test in under a minute. If the results convince you, the other 13 agents above are one click away.
ZZZ earned its fan-art scene. The tools finally caught up to the style - pick one that does not get in your way.
