New Baba Vanga? Japan Awaits July 5 with Unease as Manga Prophecy Sparks Global Concern
Hey, have you heard about this chilling prediction that's gone viral recently? It’s been all over social media and news outlets — and it’s coming from an unlikely source: a Japanese manga artist named Ryo Tatsuki, who people are now calling the “New Baba Vanga.” The reason? Her eerie track record of predicting real-life events through dreams, which she turns into illustrations and notes in her manga series The Future I Saw . And now, she's warning of a major catastrophe on July 5, 2025.
This isn’t just some vague superstition people are brushing off. Tatsuki gained notoriety years ago when readers pointed out that her prediction of a “great disaster in March 2011” almost perfectly matched the devastating Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami that shook Japan that exact month. Over 15,000 lives were lost, and the Fukushima nuclear disaster followed. That event alone was enough for many to take her visions seriously.

Fast forward to today — in a 2021 edition of her book, she quietly dropped a note saying that something terrible will happen in Japan on July 5, 2025. No details. No location. Just that something bad is coming. And the internet, as you’d expect, has gone into a frenzy. Hashtags like #July5Disaster are trending, people are speculating everything from earthquakes to nuclear events, and even tourism is being affected. Bookings from countries like Hong Kong and Thailand have plummeted, with some segments seeing an 80% drop in early July travel to Japan. That’s not fear based on science — that’s fear based on a single page in a comic book.
But here’s the thing: this isn’t the first time Tatsuki’s predictions have aligned with real events. She’s been credited with foreseeing the deaths of Princess Diana and Freddie Mercury, the outbreak of a global respiratory disease in the 2020s that resembles COVID-19, and she’s even claimed that a more dangerous version of the virus will return around 2030. Whether you believe in prophecy or not, her track record is enough to give people pause.
Government officials and scientists in Japan are trying to calm the public, reminding everyone that there’s no scientific evidence behind these claims. Experts are urging people to avoid panic, while emphasizing the importance of preparedness — not fear. Even Tatsuki herself has said her work should not be taken too literally, but more as a reflection of her subconscious experiences.
Still, the fact that fiction has crossed over into the real world in such a powerful way says a lot about our times. A dream scribbled into a manga panel is now influencing travel behavior, economic activity, and public emotions. Whether or not anything actually happens on July 5, this situation reminds us of how quickly fear can spread — especially when it’s wrapped in mystery and history that feels just a little too accurate.
So as the date approaches, the world watches Japan with a mix of skepticism and suspense. Will it be just another day? Or the next chapter in Tatsuki’s prophetic saga? Only time will tell.
