Mystery Seer's Chilling Forecast: Japan's Nostradamus Predicts Catastrophe in Mere Months

Ever wondered what’s in store for the future? Well, buckle up, because it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but Japan’s answer to the legendary prophecy spinner, Baba Vanga, is stirring up quite the storm—not just in the manga world, but in our reality too.

Ryo Tatsuki, imagine her if you will—a Japanese artist who’s not just drawing manga out of thin air but from her so-called predictive dreams. Now, you might be thinking, “What’s next, a tsunami prediction?” Well, guess what? That’s exactly what she claims to see; an ocean boiling south of Japan, setting off what she believes could be a monumental tsunami come July 2025.

But here’s where it tie-dyes into something more concrete; an underwater volcanic eruption triggering waves so tall, they could dwarf any high-rise in Tokyo. The impact? A tidal wave potentially sweeping across Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and the Northern Mariana Islands. And my oh my, if her manga The Future I Saw is any indication—she’s been eerily on target before.

For those of us who’ve seen the world change in the blink of an eye, and considering the hit-and-miss nature of prognosticating—can we even humour the thought that her manga might not just be telling fiction, but the future too? From Freddie Mercury’s death to the heartbreaking loss of Princess Diana, and even the Kobe earthquake, she’s had some eerily accurate predictions.

And let’s not overlook the wild card prediction about the 2020 virus. According to Ryo, we should brace ourselves for an even wilder ride when it rears its ugly head again in a decade.

The real question here is not just about whether we should buy into these dreams-turned-manga but whether we’re willing to prepare for the disasters she sketches. I mean, who wouldn’t want to have the upper hand on what’s ahead, right? Read all about it, and you decide. LEARN MORE.

Japan’s version of ‘Baba Vanga’ is an artist who makes manga out of her dreams, and she’s predicted that catastrophe is just months away.

Ryo Tatsuki claims to have seen visions of the ocean ‘boiling’ to the south of Japan, which she reckons will lead to a mega-tsunami in July 2025.

According to her dreams, an underwater volcanic eruption will set off the tsunami, and Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia, and the Northern Mariana Islands will be in the impact zone.

The supposed future predictor has put her predictions into her work, and she released a manga book called The Future I Saw, in which some of her claims are contained, it gained popularity in 2011 after one of the predictions she made in the 1999 book supposedly ended up coming true.

Over the years, she’s supposedly made a number of startlingly accurate predictions, sometimes getting the actual date of the disaster she has foretold correct.

Freddie Mercury’s death

Her supposed first future-predicting dream came on 24 November, 1976, when she had a dream that Queen frontman Freddie Mercury would die suddenly.

At the time she didn’t put much stock into her dream, but exactly 15 years later in 1991 he did die, and so her reputation as Japan’s ‘Baba Vanga‘ began.

Princess Diana’s death

In 1992, Tatsuki claimed she’d had a dream where she was in the corridor of a palace, and at the end of a corridor, there was a portrait of a blonde woman holding a baby, with the picture named ‘Diana’.

HOW BABA VANGA AND NOSTRADAMUS PREDICTED THE WORLD

The fortune teller claims that five years to the day she had that dream, Princess Diana died in that infamous car crash in Paris.

Apparently when she has a predictive dream, the result will come in an amount of time that can neatly be divided by five.

Kobe Earthquake

While her previous predictions were measured in years, her next one was just about 15 days away.

In 1995, she said she’d dreamed that an old man took her to ‘cracked earth’, and after she woke up, Tatsuki wrote that the Japanese city of Kobe would be ‘cracked’ in either 15 days or 15 years.

15 days later, the devastating Kobe Earthquake struck Japan, resulting in over 5,000 deaths and being Japan’s second deadliest earthquake of the 20th century.

Japan’s Tsunami

Publishing her manga The Future I Saw in 1999, she predicted that ‘the great disaster will occur in March 2011’.

On 11 March, 2011, an undersea earthquake triggered a tsunami which ultimately resulted in 19,759 deaths, and given her prediction, it resulted in a surge of interest in her manga.

The pandemic

Also on the list of things she’s claimed to have correctly predicted is that terrible of things, the coronavirus pandemic.

Tatsuki is supposed to have written: “In 25 years, an unknown virus will come in 2020, will disappear after peaking in April, and appear again 10 years later.”

So that means that the coronavirus is going to come back again in a few years – if she’s right.

But that would mean you put a lot of stock into claims of prophetic dreams, if July comes and goes without the predicted massive tsunami, then she’ll have got a big call wrong.

We’ll just have to wait and see.
