Terrifying disaster prediction from psychic dubbed 'new Baba Vanga' comes true AGAIN
A chilling prophecy made more than two decades ago by a self-proclaimed psychic known as the 'new Baba Vanga' appears to have come true. Ryo Tatsuki, a manga artist from Japan, first rose to prominence in the late 1990s after publishing her hauntingly detailed predictions in the cult book The Future I Saw. Indeed, the psychic has correctly predicted the deaths of Freddie Mercury, Princess Diana, along with a myriad of major world events - including the Kobe earthquake in 2011 and even the Covid-19 pandemic. Tatsuki, who's drawn frequent comparisons to the famous fortune teller Baba Vanga, has earned a reputation for eerily accurate predictions of some of the world's most devastating catastrophes. This week, the world is watching with renewed interest in her predictions as numerous countries on the Pacific coast were told to brace for a tsunami after one of the most powerful earthquakes that the world has ever seen rocked Russia. The 8.8 magnitude quake erupted near the Kuril Islands on 30 July, sending tremors rippling across the Pacific Rim. Authorities across Japan, the US, and parts of Southeast Asia scrambled to assess the risk of towering waves and people were told to move to higher ground. It appears Tatsuki's novel, based on her 'prophetic dreams', suggested a terrible disaster would occur on July 5, 2025, claiming the seas around southern Japan would 'boil' and although she was 25 days late - she wasn't that far off. In a reprint of the manga book that was released in 2021, Tatsuki explained how she once saw a catastrophic turn of events erupt underwater while she was sleeping. In a passage in The Future I Saw dedicated to discussing the devastation thst she believed was bound for Japan, Tatsuki wrote: 'The ocean floor between Japan and the Philippines will crack. 'Huge waves will rise in all directions. Tsunamis will devastate the Pacific Rim countries. 'A tsunami three times higher than that of the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 2011 will strike the southwest of the country.' Millions were under tsunami advisories yesterday after one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded struck Russia, sending tsunami waves into Japan, Hawaii and the US west coast. Several people were injured but none gravely, and no major damage has been reported so far. The worst appeared to have passed for many areas, including the US, where all tsunami warnings were lifted by noon EST. But in countries along the Pacific - such as Ecuador, Chile and New Zealand - new warnings were forcing evacuations. Wednesday's earthquake was the sixth most powerful on record, and the strongest in Kamchatka region since 1952, with aftershocks of up to 7.5 magnitude expected. Tatsuki's claimed the 2025 tsunami would dwarf the one seen in Japan's devastating 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, which left 20,000 people dead or missing. 'A tsunami three times higher... will strike the southwest of the country,' she claimed. Wednesday's earthquake was the largest globally since 2011, when a 9.1 megaquake hit northeast Japan. A tsunami of two feet was recorded in Hamanaka town in Hokkaido and Kuji port i n Iwate, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. Several areas reported smaller waves, and at least one person was injured. In Iwaki, a city in Fukushima Prefecture, which was the epicenter of the 2011 tsunami and quake, dozens of residents gathered at a hilltop park after a community siren sounded and breakwater gates were closed. Workers at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, which was severely damaged in 2011, took shelter on higher ground while remotely monitoring operations, the operator said. By late Wednesday, Japan had downgraded its tsunami alert but left an advisory in place along the Pacific coast. Given that she's got a decent track record for predicting big events correctly, a lot of people took heed of Tatsuki's prior warning. As a result, her 2025 prediction has led to a major drop in flight bookings to Japan according to reports, which say trips have largely been cancelled by tourists from East Asia due to fears over a possible natural disaster. Bloomberg Intelligence reported that year-on-year, average bookings from Hong Kong are down 50 per cent. This has increased to - 83 per cent - when it comes to bookings made between late June and early July. The artist of the novel herself has warned that too much emphasis should not be placed on her predictions. She has instead advised that people should pay attention to expert insights and analysis. In addition, the public has been advised to dismiss Ryo Tatsuki's forecasts, with Japanese authorities asserting they lack scientific support and are completely baseless. Yoshihiro Murai, the governor of Miyagi prefecture, said: 'It would be a significant issue if unfounded rumors on social media impacted tourism. 'There is no cause for concern since the Japanese are not leaving the country.' He added: 'I urge everyone to disregard the rumors and come visit.' It has been noted that separately from Tatsuki's predictions, Japanese authorities have expressed worries regarding the dangers posed by earthquakes. In April, a government task force warned that as many as 298,000 could die in a massive earthquake off the Pacific coast of Japan. The country's location on the Pacific's so-called 'Ring of Fire' means it is prone to earthquakes. However, experts point out that the current scientific understanding means predicting the the time and location of earthquakes accurately is impossible. While she was largely unknown at the time her first book was published, Tatsuki has since became a recognised force among psychics. She claimed she began having premonitions in the early 1980s after a number of her vivid dreams came true. Her book has recently gained renewed interest after a number of her premonitions made in hindsight appeared to mirror real life events. Amongst her chilling predictions for the future, Tatsuki is said to have accurately foretold the sudden death of Freddie Mercury. She claims to have seen images of the Queen frontman dying suddenly in a dream on November 24, 1976. Exactly 15 years to the day later, the singer died aged 45 from complications of having AIDS. She is also thought to have predicted the death of Princess Diana. A year later, Tatsuki claimed she had a dream in which she saw a woman standing at the end of a corridor in a palace. Stood at the end, she saw a portrait of a blonde woman holding a baby, with the picture named 'Diana'. Five years to the day later, she claimed she had another dream about the Princess in which she saw her die in the car crash. The prophet has previously said that her predictive dreams arrive in a period of time that can be divided by five. Then in 1995, Tatsuki said that dreamed an old man led her to 'cracked earth', leading her to predict that the Japanese city of Kobe would be 'cracked' in either 15 days or 15 years. And thus her prophecy came true as 15 days later, Kobe was struck by an insidious earthquake that killed more than 5,000 people. It is now considered the second deadliest earthquake of the 20th century. She has often been compared to the Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga, who despite passing away nearly three decades ago in 1996, has issued countless predictions for the fate of the world, foretelling events all the way up till 5079. She too became a cult figure after supposedly predicting major world events such as 9/11, the Covid-19 pandemic and even Princess Diana's death. She also accurately said that Europe would be rocked by a devastating war. More disturbingly, she added that Russia would survive the wars and end up dominating the world.

Thousands of tourists CANCELLED holidays after Japan's ‘Baba Vanga' predicted terrifying natural disaster
THOUSANDS of tourists cancelled trips to Japan — over predictions of a huge disaster in a graphic novel. The manga comic claimed the nation would be hit yesterday by a tsunami, an asteroid or even the end of the world. 3 3 Despite a volcanic eruption at Mount Shinmoedake and several earth tremors on its Tokara Islands, thankfully the doomsday prediction failed to come true. But it was enough for superstitious travellers to stay away. Nearly four million people visited Japan in April but there was an 11 per cent dip in May. Most of the cancellations were from people in Hong Kong but also from China, Vietnam and Thailand. The predictions came in The Future I Saw, in which artist Ryo Tatsuki details her dreams. In 1999, the comic warned of a disaster in March 2011 — and that month a Japanese earthquake and tsunami killed 18,000 people. It garnered cult status and a Complete Edition reprint in 2021 included the new prophecy that the 'real disaster' would hit on July 5, 2025. But Tatsuki's publishers have insisted she is 'not a prophet'. Moment 'mini-tsunami' sweeps SIDEWAYS across tourist beach injuring 8 injured as freak wave drags sunbathers over rocks 3

VOLCANO erupts in Japan as country heads towards date of 'mega disaster' predicted by 'Baba Vanga' prophet and is hit by earthquake
A volcanic eruption has rocked southern Japan, sending an ash cloud soaring 2,800metres into the sky a day before a prophecy said a 'mega disaster' would hit. Japan's Meteorological Agency is now bracing for falling volcanic rocks and pyroclastic flows within a near two mile radius of Mount Shinmoedake. Authorities have also warned residents to stay inside as it prepares for the worst. It comes as an earthquake with a magnitude of 5.5 was recorded off the coast of the Tokara island chain yesterday. A major natural disaster was predicted by manga artist Ryo Tatsuki, who has been likened to Bulgarian prophet Baba Vanga. In her book, The Future I Saw, based on her 'prophetic dreams', she warned that disaster would struck on June 5, 2025. After her prediction went viral on social media, there was a significant drop in flight bookings to the country. Although the artist herself has cautioned people about reading too much into her predictions, it has been enough to cause panic. Manga artist Tatsuki predicted in her book that there would be a major natural disaster in the country on June 5, 2025 The blast from Mount Shinmoedake, part of the Kirishima volcanic range on Kyushu Island, erupted just after 3:30pm local time on Wednesday. It covered parts of Miyazaki and Kagoshima prefectures in thick ash. Japan's Meteorological Agency had already sounded the alarm, raising the alert level to 3 nearly a week earlier on June 27, after detecting signs of rising volcanic activity. At a government volcano research committee meeting held just a day before the eruption, scientists noted swelling beneath the mountain and a spike in volcanic gas output. Although no fresh magma was detected, officials warned the threat of a magma eruption couldn't be ruled out. Shimizu Hiroshi, who chairs the committee, said: 'While this eruption doesn't currently involve new magma, the possibility remains. Close monitoring is essential.' Shinmoedake has a long history of fiery activity. A devastating eruption in 2011 triggered evacuations and flight chaos across the region. The volcano last erupted in 2018, though that event was far less intense. Shinmoedake has strong to popular culture - it was famously featured as the villain's secret volcano lair in the 1967 James Bond classic, You Only Live Twice. Authorities continue to monitor the mountain around the clock as residents prepare for potential aftershocks. It has been estimated that over 900,000 people live around the volcano.

A popular manga predicted catastrophe — and Japanese tourism took a hit
SEOUL — A Japanese comic book's premonition of an impending natural disaster in Japan has gotten some tourists so wigged out that they are avoiding the country this summer, prompting government officials to try to dispel rampant rumors about the prophecy. The recent decline in sales of flights from some key Asian tourist markets to Japan have been attributed to a manga by Ryo Tatsuki: 'The Future I Saw.'
