Ryo Tatsuki’s July 2025 Prediction: Should We Be Worried or Just Be Ready?
It started as a niche manga published in 1999 - quiet, obscure, self-printed.
Now, The Future I Saw by Japanese artist Ryo Tatsuki has become one of the most talked-about books of 2025, causing flight cancellations, anxious online discussions, and doomsday countdowns all over a chilling prediction: a massive earthquake and tsunami hitting Japan in July 2025.
Is it legit? Is it fear-mongering? Or is there something deeper we need to pay attention to?
Let’s break it down. Factually, spiritually, and practically.
Who Is Ryo Tatsuki and Why Is Everyone Talking About Her?
Ryo Tatsuki is not your typical prophet. She’s a retired manga artist who kept a personal dream diary for decades. In 1999, she published a manga titled The Future I Saw: a compilation of dreams she claimed had accurately predicted real events. At the time, it went largely unnoticed.
But years later, the book resurfaced, right after many of her past “predictions” came eerily true.
Some of her most talked-about claims include:
- Dreaming of Princess Diana’s death (before 1997)
- Foreseeing the 1995 Kobe earthquake
- Predicting the 2011 Tōhoku disaster, where her book literally says “March 2011 Great Disaster” on the cover
- Foretelling strange sea activity and a “mega tsunami” coming in July 2025, caused by an undersea quake near the Philippine Sea Plate
Naturally, when July 2025 finally arrived, so did the panic.
What Did Tatsuki Predict for July 2025?
Tatsuki’s dream was simple but terrifying.
She saw:
- A crack forming deep under the ocean, between the Philippines and Japan
- The sea boiling south of Japan
- A tsunami three times higher than the one in 2011
- Major destruction impacting Japan’s coastlines
- And the ominous warning: “July 2025”
Some people claim she even pointed to July 5th, although she never confirmed an exact date.
While she maintains that she’s not psychic; just documenting dreams that sometimes come true, her manga has gone viral. Especially now that Japan has experienced unusual seismic activity, including oarfish sightings (traditionally considered omens of tsunamis), and earthquake swarms in the Tokara Islands in recent months.
Is This Real? What Does Science Say?
Let’s be honest: the science doesn’t support the panic.
Top seismologists and Japan’s Meteorological Agency have confirmed that no one can predict earthquakes with exact timing. Not even with today’s best technology.
Earthquakes and tsunamis are natural events with complex causes, and while certain zones are more at risk (like the Pacific Ring of Fire), it is scientifically impossible to predict the exact day, hour, or intensity of a major quake.
Still… something about this story sticks.
Because while science says “unlikely,” history reminds us that Japan has faced devastating tsunamis before, with little warning. And Tatsuki’s strangely accurate past predictions have left people feeling unsure. As humans, when uncertainty mixes with fear, we tend to grab onto anything that feels like a sign.
A Christian Perspective: Fear vs Faith in the Face of Disaster
Here’s where I want to offer a quiet reflection - not to fan the flames of fear, but to bring peace into the noise.
The Bible speaks often about natural disasters, wars, and end-time chaos. Jesus said there would be “earthquakes in various places” (Mark 13:8), but He also reminded us not to live in fear:
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.” — John 14:1
As Christians, we’re not called to panic every time a prediction surfaces. We’re called to be wise, prepared, and deeply rooted in peace that the world cannot give (John 14:27).
That doesn’t mean ignoring risks. It means balancing discernment with dependence on God. Whether or not a tsunami comes, our anchor isn't in human forecasts, but in the One who calms storms with a word.
“The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.” — Psalm 18:2
Real-Life Effects: How This Prediction Sparked Global Panic
Despite the lack of scientific confirmation, the reaction has been massive:
- Flights from Hong Kong to Japan dropped 50% in early July
- Airlines like Hong Kong Express canceled routes to Japan out of fear
- Tourists began postponing or canceling trips, citing concerns about July 5th
- Emergency supplies like canned food, water, and power banks saw a spike in sales
All of this... because of a manga. That’s the power of a story wrapped in fear.
So… Should You Be Worried?
Let’s answer this honestly:
No one knows what will happen. But worrying won’t help.
Here’s what we can do:
- If you’re in a tsunami-prone region, take basic precautions. Know your evacuation routes. Stock an emergency kit. Stay alert to official weather and earthquake updates.
- Don’t let fear steal your peace. Prepare with wisdom, not panic.
- Keep your faith anchored in God, not in predictions, comics, or trending news.
Whether disaster strikes or not, let July 2025 be a reminder: life is fragile, and time is short. But fear doesn’t have to control us.
FAQs
Q: What did Ryo Tatsuki predict for 2025?
A: Ryo Tatsuki, a Japanese manga artist, predicted that in July 2025, a powerful undersea earthquake would occur south of Japan, triggering a mega tsunami three times higher than the one in 2011. She described the sea “boiling” near the Philippine Sea Plate, with massive destruction following. This prediction comes from a dream she documented in her 1999 manga The Future I Saw, which has gained viral attention in recent years due to its eerie alignment with past disasters she also dreamt about.
Tatsuki’s prediction doesn’t include a specific date but has widely been interpreted by the public as referring to 5 July 2025, despite her never confirming that. She has repeatedly emphasized that she’s not a prophet, only someone who records her dreams. Still, the magnitude and detail of her 2025 vision (combined with past dream-fulfillments like the 1995 Kobe earthquake and the 2011 tsunami) have led to widespread speculation, anxiety, and even international flight cancellations as the date approached.
Q: Can we really predict an earthquake?
A: No, earthquakes cannot be predicted with precise timing or location. While scientists can identify high-risk zones and monitor seismic activity, there is currently no reliable method to forecast exactly when or where an earthquake will strike. This is a consensus shared by major geological agencies around the world, including the U.S. Geological Survey and Japan Meteorological Agency.
What scientists can do is analyze tectonic plate behavior, historical quake patterns, and early warning signals like foreshocks or unusual animal behavior. However, these indicators only offer risk assessments, not predictions. Earthquake prediction remains one of modern science’s biggest challenges and one reason why preparation and education are far more effective than fear-based speculation.
Q: What does the Bible say about being afraid of dying?
A: The Bible encourages believers not to fear death, because through faith in Jesus Christ, death is not the end, it’s the beginning of eternal life. As Hebrews 2:14–15 says, Jesus died to “destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.” In Christ, death has lost its sting (1 Corinthians 15:55).
That doesn’t mean we won’t feel afraid. Death is still unknown, still sobering. But Scripture reminds us that God walks with us even through the valley of the shadow of death (Psalm 23:4). For the believer, death is not something to dread, it’s a doorway to being fully with God, free from pain, sin, and fear forever (Revelation 21:4). The key is not pretending we’re not afraid, but surrendering that fear into the hands of the One who conquered death for us.
Final Thoughts: Don't Panic. Be Rooted.
Whether or not Ryo Tatsuki’s July 2025 tsunami ever comes true…
the real question is not “Will it happen?” but “Am I ready - mentally, practically, and spiritually?”
Disasters come and go. Predictions rise and fall. But peace: the kind that grounds you when the earth shakes, only comes from Christ.
This story reminds me how much the world longs for answers… and how rare it is to find peace in the noise.
So let’s not live in fear. Let’s live rooted. Prepared, but not panicked. Alert, but not anxious.
Trusting, not trembling.
