A viral manga prophecy by Ryo Tatsuki, predicting a mega-earthquake and tsunami on July 5, 2025, has sent shockwaves through Japan and East Asia, driving a 30–50% drop in tourism bookings and fueling social media with hashtags like #July5Disaster.
While Japan’s Meteorological Agency and experts like Robert Geller from the University of Tokyo dismiss precise earthquake predictions, the public’s concern highlights Asia’s vulnerability to natural disasters. YTC Ventures, an investment technology platform, is addressing these challenges through AI, nature, technology, media, and advertising, guided by timeless ethical principles. For venture capital and angel investors in Japan and South Asia, this is a prime opportunity to back high-growth solutions with global impact. Visit www.ytcventures.com to explore.
The Manga Prophecy and Asia’s Seismic Challenges
Ryo Tatsuki’s manga, first published in 1999 and reissued in 2021, gained credibility for seemingly predicting the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, which claimed nearly 20,000 lives and caused the Fukushima nuclear disaster.

The latest prediction of a tsunami “three times larger” than 2011, triggered by a seabed crack between Japan and the Philippines, has fueled public fear, amplified by over 1,000 tremors near Japan’s Tokara Islands since June 2025.
While experts like University of Tokyo’s Robert Geller emphasize that earthquake prediction remains impossible, the region’s seismic activity highlights the urgent need for disaster preparedness and resilience. This crisis presents a unique opportunity for investors to back technologies that mitigate Asia’s environmental and economic risks.
Why Asia Needs Innovation Now
Asia faces multifaceted challenges: natural disasters, rapid urbanization, and the need for sustainable growth. Japan alone sits on four major tectonic plates, making it one of the most seismically active regions globally. Beyond Japan, South Asia’s coastal nations like India, the Philippines, and Indonesia are at risk from tsunamis and climate-related disruptions.

These challenges threaten economic stability, with Japan’s tourism industry already reporting a significant downturn due to the manga prophecy. Meanwhile, the region’s booming tech ecosystems in cities like Bengaluru, Tokyo, and Singapore demand solutions that blend AI, nature-based technologies, and media to drive resilience and growth.
