Japanese ‘New Baba Vanga’ Ryo Tatsuki’s Predictions Resurface After Kamchatka Earthquake, Tsunami Fears
Ryo Tatsuki’s 1999 manga prediction resurfaces after Kamchatka quake sparks tsunami fears, echoing prophecies once linked to Baba Vanga.
A manga panel by Ryo Tatsuki resurfaces as earthquake and tsunami warnings grip the Pacific, reigniting debate around her predictions.

A chilling prediction made decades ago by Japanese manga artist Ryo Tatsuki, often dubbed the "New Baba Vanga", is gaining attention after a powerful 8.8 magnitude earthquake struck near Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, triggering tsunami warnings across Japan and the North Pacific.
Tatsuki, who rose to fame for her manga The Future I Saw, published in 1999, claimed to have prophetic dreams, much like the Bulgarian mystic Baba Vanga. In one of her most startling predictions, she described a massive underwater crack forming between Japan and the Philippines, leading to a tsunami three times stronger than the devastating 2011 Japan quake. Although her prediction pointed to July 5 as the date, the recent seismic event has prompted social media users to draw eerie parallels.
As tsunami alerts were issued for Japan’s Hokkaido and warnings extended to the US West Coast, many online users resurfaced Tatsuki’s manga panels, connecting them with current events. Her followers claim multiple predictions from the manga have already come true over the years.
In the same context, some of Baba Vanga’s most talked-about predictions that allegedly came true include:
- 9/11 Attacks: Predicted in 1989 as a fall of the US led by “steel birds.”
- Kursk Submarine Disaster: Foretold in 1980 that “Kursk will be covered in water.”
- Indira Gandhi's Assassination: Warned of a woman in a “yellow-orange dress” surrounded by smoke and fire.
- Natural Disasters in 2022: Forecasted floods and droughts across Europe, Asia, and Africa.
- 44th US President: Claimed the US would have a black president, fulfilled by Barack Obama.
Though skeptics question the accuracy and timing of such prophecies, believers find renewed faith as natural calamities unfold in line with ancient forecasts.
