Anyone can tell me where this image come from? I find some DB databooks related to "revival_of_f" and some VJUMP images during that period ,but can't find it.

It's a fake picture from February 2015 constructed using artwork of Bianca from Dragon Quest V with text cobbled together from Japanese Wikipedia. Folks at the time were trying to pass it off as promotion for Tights' (then still-not-yet-existent) appearance in Dragon Ball Super.

It's amazing -- I don't know why anyone would try to do that. What's the end-game? Oh well.

For reasons unknown, there's a huge facet of this fanbase that loves trying to trick people with fake "facts" and rumors, even though we're in an age where it's incredibly easy to disprove them.

I know, and I think it's insane. Plenty of people can research the info and disprove those things (if they really care enough to). Otherwise, I don't get it. What's the point of the "trick?" To lose credibility? It's not like Toei will find these people's posts (or whatever they use) and say, "Yes, of course!" and turn it into a reality.

It's a combination of childish "for the lulz" and occasionally for profit when it's hosted on a page with advertisements.

I remember someone in the Spider-Man PS4 community who made a fake Twitter image about the game being cancelled for really no reason at all. Got him banned, but I still didn't understand what he was trying to accomplish outside of getting people's attention for five seconds.
