The Nijisanji investigation of Aster Arcadia allegations has begun

Nijisanji has issued an official statement after the claims of inappropriate behavior by Aster Arcadia went viral and fans wonder whether a lawsuit will be filed.

Reports of Aster Arcadia harassing people started in February 2024. The supposed proof was perceived as hearsay by many fans, so it didn’t gain much traction. None of the victims came forward publicly and there was no more chatter about his behavior. For the next few months, the incident was swept under the rug. All that changed when an unnamed victim reached out to FalseEyeD. The vtuber news reporter made a video about the accusations regarding Aster Arcadia that has since gone viral. Many people claimed that Aster went missing from social media after the allegations came to the limelight.

In light of this news, Nijisanji has stated the ongoing allegations will be investigated. Fans wonder whether the accused will be punished if proven guilty.

An independent third party will investigate Aster Arcadia

The vtuber agency stated that an independent third party will investigate the allegations so the findings are impartial.

On December 9, 2024, Nijisanji EN made a tweet on X regarding the agency’s course of action following the recent allegations against Aster Arcadia. The vtuber agency stated that a third party is investigating the accusations. Once they conclude the findings, they will be shared with livers and the community.

Nijisanji claimed appropriate disciplinary action would be taken based on the outcome of the investigations. Fans reacted positively to the news, given the controversial nature of the incident. They are hopeful Nijisanji will file a lawsuit against the accused if he is found guilty in the investigation.  Skeptical fans wonder whether the statement is just a PR move because of something Nijisanji stated in its tweet.

Nijisanji stated that the investigation will focus on both sexual harassment and unauthorized information leakage to outside parties. Fans criticized the “unauthorized information leakage” part of the investigation. These critics believe Nijisanji might file a lawsuit against the victims for speaking out.

They claim if the agency had taken appropriate action when victims were speaking out, they wouldn’t have had to publicly leak the information. It’s unclear what the outcome of the investigation will be and what actions will be taken against the accused or victims. Regardless, Nijisanji can’t seem to escape drama even as the year draws to a close. From Dokibird to Aster Arcadia, it wasn’t a great year for many Nijisanji fans.
