Manga Artist’s “Tsunami Prediction” Sparks Panic in Japan on July 5

Manga Artist’s “Tsunami Prediction” Triggers Public Anxiety Across Japan on July 5, 2025
Tokyo, July 5, 2025 —
A chilling prophecy from a Japanese manga artist has gone viral in recent days, stirring fear and superstition across Japan. The late artist Ryo Tatsuki, known for her book “The Future I Saw” published in 1999, had claimed that a catastrophic tsunami would strike Japan on July 5, 2025.
As the date approached, social media was flooded with warnings, memes, and anxious discussions about whether the prediction would come true. Tourists reportedly canceled trips to coastal areas, and locals shared safety plans and emergency numbers out of caution.
Tatsuki, often compared to Bulgaria’s Baba Vanga, had accurately predicted past events in her illustrations, including the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and a mysterious virus outbreak in 2020, which many linked to COVID-19.
However, Japanese officials and seismologists have urged the public to remain calm, stating that there is no scientific evidence of an impending tsunami on this date. The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) confirmed that no unusual seismic activity has been detected, and no alerts were issued.
Despite the reassurance, the power of social media and collective memory of past disasters led to widespread unease, especially among coastal communities.
“We must be prepared for natural disasters, but predictions without scientific basis should not cause panic,” said Professor Kenji Nakamura, a Tokyo-based geophysicist.
As of now, July 5 has passed uneventfully, but the viral prophecy has reignited public interest in clairvoyant warnings, earthquake preparedness, and how quickly fear can spread online.
