New Baba Vanga's July 2025 Prediction Sparks Fear After Tsunami Hits Japan, Russia
photoDetails english 2939091 Updated:Jul 30, 2025, 04:08 PM IST Earthquake in Russia 1 / 7 A powerful earthquake with a magnitude of 8.7 hit off the coast of Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on July 30, 2025, later updated to 8.8 by the US Geological Survey. It is the most powerful quake in the region since 1952. The tremor triggered tsunami waves that reached Japan's Hokkaido island and Russia's Kuril Islands. Coastal regions experienced high waves, prompting tsunami warnings and alerts across the Pacific, including in the United States, Hawaii, and New Zealand. Japan Meteorological Agency 2 / 7 The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued emergency alerts, urging people to move to higher ground without delay. In response, sirens sounded across Japan and evacuation orders were issued, including at the Fukushima nuclear plant, where workers were swiftly relocated to ensure their safety. New Baba Vanga of Japan 3 / 7 This devastating natural disaster occurred just weeks after a prediction by Japanese manga artist and self-proclaimed clairvoyant Ryo Tatsuki went viral online. Often referred to as the "New Baba Vanga of Japan," Tatsuki had written in her 1999 manga book The Future I Saw that the seas near southern Japan would 'boil' on July 5, 2025. Ryo Tatsuki's prophecy 4 / 7 While the predicted disaster didn't happen on July 5, many are now speculating that Ryo Tatsuki's prophecy might have been meant as a warning for the entire month of July rather than a specific day. With the powerful earthquake and tsunami striking just 25 days later, people are revisiting her prediction and wondering if it pointed to a wider timeframe. Twitter Reaction 5 / 7 'Massive 3 Feet Tsunami Alert for the entire Coast of Japan after a Powerful Magnitude of 8.8 Earthquake in the Coast of Russia, Japanese Manga Predictor Ryo Tatsuki, The Future I Saw, who predicted the 2011 Quake did it again! Stay safe, Japan,' on user commented on X (formerly twitter). Most powerful earthquake 6 / 7 The earthquake, considered the most powerful in the region since 1952, struck approximately 125 km southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, a coastal city in Russia's Far East. The US Geological Survey reported it as a shallow quake, occurring at a depth of 19.3 km, and later revised its magnitude from 8 to 8.8. Seismic activity 7 / 7 Earthquakes cannot be predicted with accuracy. Although scientists can pinpoint high-risk areas based on fault lines and past seismic activity, they are unable to determine the exact time or place a quake will occur. While Ryo Tatsuki's July 5 prediction has caught public attention, experts emphasize that the timing is purely coincidental. Seismologists agree that much more scientific research and technological advancement is needed before accurate earthquake prediction becomes possible.

Japans New Baba Vanga Manga Prophecy: Did Ryo Tatsuki Foresee 8.8 Kamchatka Quake & Pacific Tsunami?
A massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake near Russia's far-flung Kamchatka Peninsula on Wednesday, July 30, 2025, which prompted general tsunami alerts and waves that reached the northern coast of Japan, has rekindled a heated controversy over a chilling prophecy made by Japanese manga creator Ryo Tatsuki. Brandied as the "New Baba Vanga of Japan," Tatsuki's 1999 manga, Watashi ga Mita Mirai (The Future I Saw), specifically foretold an accident in July 2025. While most internet buffs had identified July 5, 2025, as the exact date of the predicted event, the failure of a major disaster to occur on the day caused the theory to momentarily subside. This week's intense earthquake and subsequent tsunami warnings, however, have resurrected the debate in full roar, with the fans contemplating the possibility that Tatsuki's prediction may have been close in timing rather than precise. Manga's Notorious Predictions Resurface Watashi ga Mita Mirai became infamous for eerily alluding to various actual tragedies that followed its release in 1999, such as the deaths of Princess Diana and Freddie Mercury, the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, and specifically the disastrous March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Within hours of the recent Kamchatka earthquake, social media platforms were flooded with posts drawing parallels to Tatsuki's work. Comments like, "Massive tsunami alert for Japan after an 8.8 earthquake in Russia. Manga predictor Ryo Tatsuki who foresaw 2011 did it again!" circulated widely. While skeptics dismiss such connections as mere coincidence, others argue that pop culture can profoundly influence public perception of disasters, even inspiring conversations around preparedness. Earthquake's Effects And Japan's Fragility The 8.8 magnitude earthquake, originally reported as 8.0 then upgraded by the US Geological Survey (USGS), hit at a shallow depth of 19.3 km, about 125 km southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Russia. Tsunami waves ranging from 3 to 4 meters (10–13 feet) hit portions of Russia's Kamchatka coastline, with immediate evacuation responses. The seismic activity reached far and wide all over the world, triggering alerts in the Pacific region, including Japan, Hawaii, and sections of the US West Coast. Japan's Meteorological Agency (JMA) promptly issued tsunami warnings for coastal areas in the Pacific, forecasting waves of up to 3 meters (10 feet). While the initial waves measured on Hokkaido's coast were some 30 cm (one foot) high, and thus caused little immediate danger, they were a grim reminder of the danger lurking beneath. Japan's government promptly set up an emergency task force, with an emphasis on increased alertness and preparedness. Japan's heightened susceptibility to earthquakes is a result of its geographical location at the intersection of four significant tectonic plates—the Pacific, Philippine Sea, Eurasian, and North American Plates. Its distinctive tectonic setting renders it one of the world's most seismically active areas. Cultural Resonance And Preparedness Cultural productions such as Watashi ga Mita Mirai tend to provoke public outcry since they draw upon common fears of natural disasters. Although scientists repeatedly debunk psychic accuracy, specialists recognize that advance guessing by fantasy fiction, by sheer coincidence, can on occasion mirror actual events, particularly in seismically active areas such as Japan. No matter how scientifically sound, such forecasts serve a special function in public consciousness. They can unintentionally lead people to inspect safety protocols and exit strategies, have a bearing on mass psychology by heightening either fear or alertness, and strike a chord deeply within cultures with experience of disastrous natural events.

New Baba Vanga prediction came true? Japanese manga sparks debate after July 2025 earthquake and tsunami alerts
A powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck off Russia's remote Kamchatka Peninsula on Wednesday, triggering tsunami warnings across the Pacific and waves that reached Japan's northern coastline. This seismic event, one of the strongest in decades, has reignited interest in a chilling prediction from a Japanese manga titled Watashi ga Mita Mirai (The Future I Saw), authored by artist Ryo Tatsuki, often referred to as the New Baba Vanga of Japan. Fans recall that the manga warned of a disaster in July 2025, and while the exact date passed without incident, this earthquake has sparked speculation that Tatsuki's forecast may have been eerily accurate—just weeks off in timing. New Baba Vanga Ryo Tatsuki's manga predictions resurface after July 2025 disaster warning Published in 1999, Watashi ga Mita Mirai gained notoriety for referencing several real-world tragedies: The deaths of Princess Diana and Freddie Mercury The global COVID-19 outbreak The March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami that devastated northeastern Japan Tatsuki's depiction of a July 2025 disaster had fueled online debates earlier this year, particularly on July 5, which some enthusiasts had flagged as the likely date of the foretold event. When no major disaster occurred then, the theory faded. However, this week's earthquake and tsunami alerts have brought the discussion roaring back, with fans claiming the manga's timing might have been approximate rather than precise. Social media reacts: 'Ryo Tatsuki did it again' Within hours of the earthquake, social media platforms were filled with posts drawing parallels to Tatsuki's prediction. One widely shared comment read: 'Massive tsunami alert for Japan after an 8.8 earthquake in Russia. Manga predictor Ryo Tatsuki who foresaw 2011 did it again!' Others nicknamed her the 'New Baba Vanga', comparing her to the Bulgarian mystic famous for alleged prophetic visions. While skeptics dismissed the connection as coincidence, others noted that pop culture often influences how people perceive disasters. Even speculative art, they argued, can inspire conversations around preparedness and resilience during natural disasters. Russia earthquake upgraded to 8.8 magnitude as tsunami waves hit Kamchatka coast The earthquake struck 125 km southeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, a port city in Russia's Far East, at a shallow depth of 19.3 km, according to the US Geological Survey (USGS). Initially measured at 8.0 magnitude, it was later upgraded to 8.8, placing it among the most powerful quakes in recent memory. Tsunami waves measuring 3 to 4 metres (10–13 feet) hit parts of Russia's Kamchatka coastline, leading to immediate evacuation measures. The seismic activity sent shockwaves globally, with alerts issued across the Pacific, including Japan, Hawaii, and parts of the US West Coast. Japan's response and Tsunami warnings The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) swiftly issued tsunami warnings for Pacific coastal areas, predicting waves up to 3 metres (10 feet). The first waves recorded on Hokkaido's coast were around 30 cm (one foot), which posed little immediate risk but served as a stark reminder of the potential dangers. Japan's government quickly established an emergency task force, emphasizing vigilance and readiness. Disaster response systems, honed over decades due to Japan's seismic vulnerability, were placed on high alert to monitor for potential aftershocks or larger surges. Why Japan is so vulnerable to earthquakes Japan lies at the convergence of four tectonic plates—the Pacific Plate, Philippine Sea Plate, Eurasian Plate, and North American Plate—making it one of the most seismically active regions in the world. This tectonic configuration is responsible for frequent earthquakes and tsunamis. The March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, which caused over 15,000 deaths, remains a stark reminder of the region's vulnerability. Manga predictions spark debate on public safety and cultural psychology Cultural works like Watashi ga Mita Mirai often spark public debate because they reflect shared anxieties about natural disasters. While scientists dismiss claims of psychic accuracy, experts note that speculative storytelling sometimes coincides with real events due to probability and Japan's high risk of quakes. Such predictions, whether believed or dismissed, play a unique role in public awareness: Preparedness impact: Fiction can prompt people to review safety measures and evacuation routes. Collective psychology: Predictions can amplify fear or vigilance, depending on how communities interpret them. Cultural resonance: Japan's disaster-prone reality makes such stories emotionally powerful, especially when past manga predictions appeared to align with historical events.
