A devastating 8.8-magnitude earthquake off Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, triggering tsunami alerts around the region, has sparked renewed international interest in the Baba Vanga prophecies. The earthquake came weeks after a widely circulated Japanese manga prediction has stirred debate online whether the prophecies of mystics were accurate and pertinent in 2025.
Japanese Manga Prediction Goes Viral
The revived interest started with a viral comeback of the 1999 manga The Future I Saw by Japanese artist Ryo Tatsuki. The manga contained a grim prediction that the oceans surrounding southern Japan would “boil” on July 5, 2025. Although the date came and went uneventfully, the recent earthquake has led some to believe that the narrative of the manga is prophetic. Tatsuki, also referred to as the “New Baba Vanga,” has become cult favorite for eerily prescient material.
This seeming duplication of Baba Vanga’s prophecies has initiated a new wave of rumors. The deceased Bulgarian mystic’s 2025 visions feature apocalyptic predictions for global war, natural catastrophes, and even alien contact — several of which are now being retroactively assigned to unfolding events.
Natural Disasters
Baba Vanga supposedly predicted a rise in devastating natural disasters. The Kamchatka earthquake and unpredictable climate anomalies are viewed by believers as possible proof of her visions materializing.
The mystic supposedly foretold a significant world war, potentially atomic. As fighting continues in Ukraine, West Asia, and tensions build up in the Taiwan Strait, most expect a wider escalation.
Biological Catastrophes
She is reported to have foretold a catastrophic biological experiment gone astray. Although no such incident has happened in 2025, post-pandemic fears give this prophecy a new significance.
Baba Vanga envisioned artificial intelligence transforming human existence. With AI advancements gaining speed, upending job markets and fueling global regulation controversy, some believe this too is another prophecy that has come true.
Alien Contact
Her contact vision has been linked with the July 1 identification of interstellar object 3I/ATLAS and questioned by conspiracy theorists with regard to its source and path.
Experts believe that the convergence of real-world crises, fast-tracking technological change, and viral storytelling made the public more accepting of such predictions. While most experts write off Baba Vanga’s prophecies as imprecise and unverifiable, her mystique still fascinates global audiences particularly during times of turmoil.
