  Google returns like 5 or 6 other images on Vietnamese Instagrams, with a few different people, a couple of them wearing the exact same shirt, and the logo changes between each picture in a very AI smudged way, or gets photoshop airbrushed off in one. One picture shows a completely other actor under the helmet having a smoke break, and his hand is Marty McFlying off the image.

  It’s AI, and at least this wave appears to be like a week old. There may have been an older image used as a basis.

    When I did a reverse image search I only found the one guy. But I’d buy multiple versions as plausible.

      Google the text “未来戦隊” “ミライス”

  But the details keep changing in every version. Like in this one it clearly says “pink” in the top text, and the bottom black text isn’t as long anymore.

  The story is being told that the guy on the right is the one in the costume, but it’s not the same guy at all.

  And if you watch the video version you can see that the man in the costume has a blank, dead expression, and the syandana thing goes from being attached to the helmet to being attached to his head suddenly by magic.

  I think the AI is just good enough that it’s getting many things right. They do a pretty good job these days.

  It seems like it’s just a fake story to make a homophobic joke.

    I was with you until homophobic. The essence of comedy is subverted expectations. Just because a gender reveal is subverted doesn’t make it homophobic. How many times have you been to a drag show and found out that a performer is actually a woman cosplaying as a man pretending to be a woman?

    Well, okay, maybe that’s not a common thing. But after having lived in Hillcrest I’ve seen a lot of stuff. But then again I never checked birth certificates to see if the woman was a man who transitioned to a woman pretending to be a drag queen.

      He’s not only surprised that it’s a man (which I agree is surprising and mildly amusing in itself); he freaks out and runs away.

        You’d probably do that too until you recovered your wits and realized how epic the effort was.
