On August 8, a 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck Japan, with its epicenter located in the sea off Hyuga-nada in Miyazaki Prefecture. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued a “Nankai Trough Earthquake Temporary Information (Major Earthquake Warning)” for the first time, indicating that another strong earthquake could occur in the vicinity of the Nankai Trough within the upcoming week and potentially trigger a significant tsunami. The earthquake prompted discussions among netizens, with some even recalling predictions made in the Japanese comic “The Future I See,” where eight out of eleven dreams depicted in the book have come true, generating interest not only in the confirmed predictions related to the Japanese earthquake but also in others that have yet to manifest.
The comic “The Future I Saw,” created by cartoonist Tatsuki Ryo in 1999, recounts disasters that Tatsuki envisioned in dreams. The time intervals between the dreams and the actual disasters mentioned in the comic are multiples of five. Out of the eleven prophetic dreams, eight have materialized.
Japanese Manga Prediction 1: A major earthquake and tsunami occur in an unknown location
This dream occurred on March 11, 1996. Tatsuki simply dreamt of a significant earthquake and tsunami happening in an unidentified locale. Due to the uncertainty regarding the location, Tatsuki recorded “a major disaster occurred in March 2011” on the comic cover. Then, on March 11, 2011, exactly 15 years after the precognitive dream, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck Japan (affecting Tohoku, Kanto, Hokkaido, and other eastern regions). The degree of coincidence was unsettling.

Japanese Manga Prophecy 2: The death of Princess Diana of England
On August 31, 1992, Tatsuki dreamed of a photograph of Princess Diana of England holding a child. Five years later, on August 31, 1997, Princess Diana tragically passed away in a car accident in Paris.

Japanese Manga Prophecy 3: A significant disaster occurs in the Kobe area
On January 2, 1995, Tatsuki dreamed that a major disaster would strike the Kobe area of Japan, resulting in immense destruction. Just 15 days later, the 7.3-magnitude Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake struck Kobe. Hundreds of thousands of buildings collapsed, along with several major bridges. The earthquake resulted in 6,434 fatalities and over 43,000 injuries. This event occurred only 15 days after the precognitive dream, representing the closest interval between a dream and reality.

Japanese Manga Prophecy 4: The death of a girl in a light blue dress
This precognitive dream took place on August 27, 1989. In the dream, Tatsuki witnessed a cave and the demise of a barefoot girl in a light blue dress. A year later, on August 27, 1990, Tatsuki visited a park to relax and saw the same cave from his last year’s dream. Consequently, the news reported that a girl in a light blue dress was found dead in that cave. This dream is unique as it does not occur within a specific time pattern, unlike the others.

Japanese Comic Prophecy 5: The death of Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury due to an infectious disease
On November 24, 1976, Tatsuki dreamt about the news of Freddie Mercury, the lead singer of the British band Queen, passing away from an infectious disease. Ultimately, Freddie Mercury died of AIDS on November 24, 1991, 15 years after Tatsuki’s dream.

Japanese Manga Prediction 8: A virus will emerge in 2020
This prophetic dream occurred on January 2, 1995. Tatsuki envisioned that a virus would appear in 2020, peaking in April of that same year, and that the epidemic would reemerge in 2030. In reality, the COVID-19 pandemic has fulfilled the first part of the dream, and the remaining part will be verified in 2030, nine years from now.

Japanese Manga Prophecy 9: Mount Fuji erupts
On August 20, 1991, Tatsuki dreamt of black smoke rising from Mount Fuji, followed by a loud noise and magma erupting, indicating a volcanic eruption. However, in the 15 years following the precognitive dream (by 2006), no eruption occurred. The Japanese government issued a warning in April 2020, noting changes in Mount Fuji’s lava levels in July. Fortunately, this prediction did not come to pass.

Japanese Manga Prophecy 10: A tsunami in the Kanagawa and Yokohama areas
Between June and September of 1981, Tatsuki dreamt of a large tsunami hitting the Yokohama area in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The dream did not materialize 15 years later in 1996, nor did it in 2011. If the prediction is to hold true, a possible time frame for its realization could be in 2026.

Japanese Manga Prediction 11: Major undersea earthquakes in Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines in 2025
Tatsuki’s final prophetic dream involved floating in the air and witnessing a massive explosion in the sea between Japan and the Philippines. This explosion caused the seafloor to rupture, releasing magma and generating a colossal tsunami with waves reaching hundreds of meters high. As she saw the Japanese people in her dream wearing short-sleeved clothing, Tatsuki speculated that the event would occur in summer. On July 5, 2021, Tatsuki had a recurring dream featuring the same scene.

In her dream, she observed the sea surrounding Japan bubbling continuously, while two giant dragons emerged on the right side of the Pacific Ocean approaching the bubbles. Subsequently, a severe earthquake struck, unleashing a tsunami up to 40 meters high, impacting various lands. Afterward, Tatsuki was astonished to see land rising from the ocean floor, connecting Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines. This scene was incredible and left her in disbelief.
If Tatsuki’s prediction proves accurate, the disaster is estimated to happen on July 5, 2025.
Japan’s 7.1-Magnitude Earthquake and Its Prophetic Predictions from Manga
A 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck Japan on August 8, with the epicenter located in the sea off Hyuga-nada, Miyazaki Prefecture. In the wake of this seismic event, the Japan Meteorological Agency issued a major earthquake warning related to the Nankai Trough, cautioning that more powerful earthquakes could occur in the upcoming week. This alarming situation has ignited discussions among netizens concerning prophetic predictions made in the renowned Japanese comic “The Future I See.” Authored by Tatsuki Ryo, this comic has eerily foreseen multiple disasters, with eight out of the eleven dreams coming true.
About “The Future I See”
Published in 1999, “The Future I See” by Tatsuki Ryo reveals various precognitive dreams surrounding natural calamities and tragic events. Notably, the timeline between the dreams and actual events often follows a pattern of multiples of five years. We’re diving into some of the most chilling predictions that have raised eyebrows after the recent earthquake in Japan.
1. Major Earthquake and Tsunami Prediction
On March 11, 1996, Tatsuki envisioned a significant earthquake followed by a tsunami occurring in an unspecified location, later recorded as a disaster in March 2011. Coincidentally, on March 11, 2011, Japan experienced the devastating Tohoku earthquake, measuring 9.0 in magnitude. This stunning alignment has captured public interest and prompted further investigation into Tatsuki’s prophetic abilities.
2. The Tragic Passing of Princess Diana
Another significant dream detailed by Tatsuki on August 31, 1992, featured Princess Diana holding a child. Tragically, five years later on August 31, 1997, she died in a car crash in Paris, underlining the gravity of Tatsuki’s foresight.
3. Kobe Earthquake Prediction
On January 2, 1995, Tatsuki envisioned a dreadful disaster in the Kobe region. Remarkably, just 15 days later, the Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake struck, measuring 7.3 on the Richter scale and causing extensive destruction. This prediction stands out as one of the closest alignments between a dream and a real disaster.
4. The Girl in the Light Blue Dress
Tatsuki dreamed on August 27, 1989, of a young girl in a light blue dress found dead in a cave. A year later, the unfortunate news broke that a girl fitting this description had been discovered, demonstrating the eerie accuracy of her visions.
5. Freddie Mercury’s Death
Another haunting prediction concerns Freddie Mercury, the iconic lead singer of Queen, whom Tatsuki saw dying from an infectious disease in a dream dated November 24, 1976. In a tragic twist of fate, Mercury succumbed to AIDS on November 24, 1991.
6. Early Death of Yutaka Ozaki
Tatsuki’s dream on April 25, 1982, of a young rock musician’s untimely demise came to fruition exactly ten years later when Japanese singer Yutaka Ozaki passed away at just 26 years old.
7. Tatsuki’s Retirement Prediction
On January 2, 1995, Tatsuki dreamt that she would retire from the manga industry, and indeed, she ceased her creative pursuits in 2000, aligning perfectly with her prophecy.
8. Virus Prediction for 2020
The foresight about a virus emerging in 2020, reaching its peak in April, aligns eerily with the global COVID-19 pandemic. Tatsuki also predicted the possibility of the virus resurfacing in 2030, leaving a shocking impact on present events.
9. Mount Fuji Eruption Prediction
Tatsuki’s dream on August 20, 1991, involved the eruption of Mount Fuji, illustrated with black smoke rising. Since then, no eruption has occurred, though the Japanese government cautioned about volcanic activity in early 2020.
10. Tsunami in Kanagawa and Yokohama Areas
Tatsuki’s dream from June to September 1981 foresaw a substantial tsunami in the Kanagawa Prefecture’s Yokohama area. This prediction has yet to materialize, but if it were to come true, the next timeframe could be 2026.
11. Future Predictions: Undersea Earthquakes in 2025
The most recent prophetic vision outlines a catastrophic undersea earthquake affecting Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and the Philippines in 2025. This dream portrayed colossal waves soaring over hundreds of meters and even the emergence of new land, a striking image that emphasizes the destructive power of nature.
