In the human mind, pattern recognition is a survival instinct. When the ground trembles beneath Delhi from an Afghan quake, when floods submerge America to Punjab, and when seismic swarms buzz near Myanmar's coast, the conscious mind seeks a narrative. A viral manga prediction of a catastrophic July 5 tsunami in Japan ignited global panic, forcing a startling question- are the prophecies of history's most famous seers like Nostradamus and Baba Vanga coming true in 2025?
With catastrophic landslides in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand and severe floods in Punjab, northern India is experiencing a harsh monsoon season in a year already rife with viral doomsday prophecies. These current catastrophes seem to many like the parts of a bigger, sinister puzzle, one that prophets like Baba Vanga and Nostradamus are said to have set out.
While the manga prediction is new, the fascination with 2025 has deep roots in prophecy.
The 2021 manga "The Future I Saw" by Ryo Tatsuki—dubbed the "New Baba Vanga" after she allegedly predicted the 2011 Japan tsunami, has gone viral. It vividly depicts a massive tsunami hitting Japan on July 5, 2025, caused by a seabed crack. Despite having no scientific foundation, its timing, amid actual seismic swarms close to Japan and a recent volcanic eruption, has turned it from fiction into a dreaded prophecy for many.

From floods in Pakistan and wildfires in L.A to unusual rainfall in India and the recent tremors in Delhi-NCR, the activity is real. The justifications are scientific rather than omen-based:
Hence, as 2025 goes on, the world is seeing a struggle not between fact and fiction but between two powerful points of view—one seeking answers in the data of observable reality, the other seeking meaning in the arcane words of seers. Our urge to find a narrative in the midst of a tempest is revealed by our believe in the predictions, which may be the true story of 2025.
