Mega tsunami, boiling ocean: Japan's 'Baba Vanga' Ryo Tatsuki's apocalyptic prediction sends ripples across the globe

Covid-19 resurgence, the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine that has on occasions threatened to go nuclear, the conflict in the Middle East and the unpredictable US President Donald Trump have been giving jitters to the world about an impending doomsday scenario. The fury of mother nature which can include massive volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and mega tsunamis are other unknowns.

Now, an alarming prediction by Ryo Tatsuki, a Japanese manga artist and self-proclaimed psychic, has recently garnered attention across the world. Tatsuki has predicted a catastrophic event taking place on July 5, 2025.

Dubbed "Japan's Baba Vanga" after the famed Bulgarian clairvoyant, Tatsuki is known for her detailed dream journals and past forecasts that have seemingly aligned with real-world events. Her 1999 manga, The Future I Saw, gained prominence after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, as the cover featured a message stating, "Great disaster, year 2011 month 3, that is, March," which some interpreted as a prophecy of the disaster.

Tatsuki foretells mega natural disaster?

In her latest vision, Tatsuki describes a powerful tsunami triggered by seismic activity near Japan, impacting neighbouring countries including the Philippines and Taiwan. She reports the ocean "boiling" off the coast of Japan, which has been interpreted as portents of an underwater volcanic eruption that could cause widespread destruction.

While Japanese officials have dismissed the prediction as baseless, the prophecy has led to a significant decline in tourism, with flight bookings to Japan dropping by up to 83% from markets like South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong .

Despite reassurances from authorities, the panic has led many to cancel or postpone travel plans, and concerns are mounting that such unfounded fears could severely impact the nation's tourism and economy.

Tatsuki has also predicted a resurgence of COVID-19 in 2030, more devastating than the original outbreak. While she cautioned the public to focus on expert advice and not be swayed by unverified claims, her track record continues to alarm many .

There have been claims that Baba Vanga, too, predicted apocalyptic events in 2025. Baba Vanga, who passed away in 1996, is said to have foreseen a devastating war in Europe and catastrophic natural disasters, including massive floods and volcanic eruptions.
