The day after the incident with the Gigantes the news was all about the rampage. There were many pictures and videos that the survivors posted on social media. It was then for the first time since the urban legend started a supposed real video of Fade appeared. Someone was able to record the time Fade killed a Gigantes single-handedly. It wasn't a clear picture but a man in black had blasted a Gigantes's head.
The video was shaky and the quality was terrible, the only reason you could call the other person Fade is that he was wearing all black.
Due to the quality of the video being so bad, of course, many said that the person who defeated the Gigantes was a member of the Elite Dragon Brigade, and not Fade.
