Japan’s ‘Baba Vanga’ predicted 2025 quake & tsunami? Internet abuzz over manga artist’s prediction

Social media is in a frenzy after a powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck Russia, unleashing a tsunami that first made landfall in Japan on July 30. Tsunami warnings have rippled across the Pacific, with China, New Zealand, Hawaii, and South America’s west coast all issuing alerts. Online, users are making connections between this disaster and an eerie prediction by Japanese manga artist and self-proclaimed clairvoyant, Ryo Tatsuki. In her 1999 manga, Tatsuki wrote that the seas around southern Japan would “boil” on July 5, 2025, accompanied by devastating waves. Quotes from her book even foretell massive tsunamis impacting Pacific Rim countries and waves “three times higher” than the 2011 disaster.
