In the manga “It was I who saw the future”, a gigantic tsunami fell on July 5, 2025 on Japan in dreamlike form. This premonitory fictional dream does not have the Japanese authorities at all.
Will a huge tsunami sweep in Japan on July 5? It is the prediction of the author of Manga Ryo Tatsuki, taken up by a film inspired by the same manga entitled “July 5, 2025, 4:18 am”.
This prophecy scares some Japanese and Asian tourists, who give up staying on the archipelago on this date.
Ryoichi Nomura, director of the Japanese national meteorology agency, is sorry that part of society can believe in an earthquake prediction and tsunami appearing in a manga.
“Pure Balivens”
“With current scientific knowledge, it is impossible to predict the date, the place, the extent of an earthquake” recalls in the morning of the RTS the director of the agency responsible for 150 years to follow with the best scientific tools the seismic activity in Japan.
“Since these predictions that circulate are pure balivans, it is absolutely not necessary to worry. It is regrettable that even in our scientific era so many people can make decisions on the basis of information so distant from science. We must make this tendency to believe anything,” he asserts.
Prepare, like every day
However – and it is the gap that maintains superstition – one cannot say that nothing will happen on July 5, since by definition, no one knows it before.
“In Japan, an earthquake can occur anytime and at any time. Therefore, it is necessary to verify that we are prepared there,” poses Ryoichi nomura.
Prevention and preparation are therefore valid on July 5, like all other days of the year wherever you are on the Japanese archipelago.
