Zentreya becomes most-watched English VTuber in Q2 2025, overtakes Ironmouse with subathon boost

Zentreya has claimed the top spot as the most-watched English-speaking VTuber of Q2 2025, according to new data published by Streamscharts. The Twitch streamer reached 4.72 million hours watched, edging past Hololive EN's Koseki Bijou and former leader Ironmouse. Zentreya's rise follows the success of her first-ever subathon in June, which significantly increased her viewer engagement and total watchtime. This surge helped her surpass both Bijou, who recorded 4.54 million hours watched, and Ironmouse, who reached 4.53 million hours during the quarter. Ironmouse led the rankings in Q1 with 5.37 million hours but experienced a drop in Q2, allowing Zentreya to secure the top position. Other creators in the English top five include Mori Calliope and Shylily, who reported 2.7 million and 2.42 million hours watched respectively. In the global VTuber landscape, Japanese talents continue to dominate. Sakura Miko took the number one spot worldwide with more than 12 million hours watched, maintaining an average viewership of 30,000. Kuzuha followed closely, logging the most streamed hours among the global top ten. The data also indicates a growing trend towards multistreaming across platforms. Although YouTube still commands the largest share of VTuber viewership, Twitch is gaining ground, with over 60% of active VTuber channels now streaming on the platform.

Did the new Baba Vanga predict the Russia quake and Pacific tsunami?

Millions were placed under tsunami advisories on 30 July 2025 after one of the most powerful earthquakes ever recorded struck off Russia's coast, triggering waves that reached Japan, Hawaii, and the US west coast. But as authorities raced to respond, a decades-old prophecy by a mysterious Japanese psychic resurfaced, and stunned readers with its uncanny accuracy. Ryo Tatsuki, a manga artist often dubbed the 'new Baba Vanga', had long predicted a catastrophic underwater disaster in the Pacific. In her cult 1990s book The Future I Saw, Tatsuki described the ocean 'boiling' near southern Japan, massive cracks in the seafloor, and tsunami waves three times higher than the ones that devastated Japan in 2011. Though her original date was 5 July 2025, the powerful 8.8 magnitude quake that hit near the Kuril Islands on 30 July, just 25 days later, has reignited global fascination with her visions. Warnings were issued across Asia and the Americas. While damage was limited, the scale of the event closely mirrored Tatsuki's predictions, which were based on vivid dreams she reportedly experienced decades ago. Tatsuki had also famously foreseen the deaths of Freddie Mercury and Princess Diana, and the 1995 Kobe earthquake, each one timed eerily close to her predictions. Her latest warning has already impacted tourism, with flight bookings to Japan plunging amid fears of another seismic catastrophe. Still, officials urge calm. Japanese authorities have dismissed her prophecies as unscientific, though her growing cult status suggests the public isn't easily convinced. For many, the question now is whether this was coincidence, or the beginning of more to come.

Chinese film ignites dialogue on wartime atrocities

The harrowing new Chinese film, Dead To Rights, about the Nanjing Massacre has stirred strong emotions across the country, sparking widespread reflection on a traumatic chapter in China's history, reported Xinhua. As per Deadline, the historical drama is set around the events of the Nanjing Massacre in 1937, where a postman named A Chang pretends to be a photo developer in a photo studio, developing photos for the Japanese army. He takes in a group of Chinese soldiers and civilians, turning the studio into a temporary shelter. In a desperate attempt to stay alive, they are forced to assist a Japanese military photographer in developing film — only to discover that the negatives contain damning evidence of atrocities committed by Japanese forces across the city. They secretly keep the negatives and risk their lives to deliver them to the outside world, in the hope that the truth would be revealed. Directed by Shen Ao (No More Bets), the film will open theatrically in the US and Canada on August 15, ahead of a planned streaming rollout later this year. Recognised for its emotional weight and stark portrayal of a national trauma, Dead To Rights has resonated deeply with audiences in China. The film's Douban rating, a key gauge of public sentiment, reached 8.6 out of 10. A popular comment on Douban observed, "The simplicity and restraint of the storytelling make every scene piercingly poignant. The few images — such as the knife held to a baby, the rolling heads, the red river of blood — are more than enough to communicate the horror. The film doesn't sensationalise; it lets these chilling images speak for themselves." 'Lost in deep thought' On ticketing platform Maoyan, one user shared a poignant reflection after taking two children to see the film: "At first, I was worried they'd be scared, but then I realised: if we can't face history, what will we do in the future? I want them to understand real history, which is harsher than what's depicted in the movie. Our land must never be surrendered!" In another post, a Maoyan user recalled a tender moment after the screening, when a young girl asked her mother if there were any "post-credit scenes." The mother replied, "The true 'post-credit scene' is when we step out of the cinema." "Indeed, the lively streets, the bustling crowd, the smell of food in the air — this is the true miracle," noted the comment. This sentiment captures the essence of the film's call to cherish the peace and vitality of modern China, all made possible by the sacrifices of the past. Renowned director Feng Xiaoning, speaking in a video circulated widely online, shared his reaction to the film. "When the film ended, the entire audience remained seated, unmoving, until the credits had fully rolled. Everyone was lost in deep thought," he said. "I believe every Chinese person, and everyone in the world with a conscience, will be shaken by this film." By the end of Sunday, its third day of release, Dead To Rights had grossed over 400 million yuan ($56 million), with over 10 million admissions nationwide, according to data from Maoyan. Largely driven by this film, China's daily box office on Sunday surpassed 300 million yuan, marking the first time in 154 days that the threshold had been crossed. According to Maoyan's latest projection, Dead To Rights is expected to earn more than 3.2 billion yuan in total revenue, a substantial upward revision from earlier estimates.
