'Tis the season of prophecies; about monster tsunamis leaving a trail of devastation across multiple countries located along the Pacific Ring of Fire. Two different women psychics – one from Thailand and another from Japan - have revealed bone-chilling prophecies about a Pacific mega-tsunami that could originate somewhere between Japan and the Philippines, and inflict catastrophic damage. While one of them said that it could occur anytime in July or August of 2025, the other was more specific: the date that she saw very clearly in her precognitive dream was July 2025.
Why should we take these prophecies seriously, one might wonder? Aren’t there enough instances of prophecies of doom and destruction that have failed miserably? Well, yes, but these two psychics are very different. Their track record of accuracy is so surreal that it would put any Baba Vanga to shame. It is only because of the language barrier that they are not as widely known or celebrated outside of their home countries. In fact, many tourists from East Asia have already paid heed to their warnings and canceled their travel plans to Japan, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries this summer. The word has now got out to the rest of the world through YouTube and other social media channels, and that is how I came to know about it as well.
When I started digging a bit deeper in order to get to the “real information” about these prophecies, I realized that most of the original sources were YouTube videos and interviews in the Chinese, Thai, and Japanese languages. The videos that were being made in English contained scant and often incorrect information, and left out a lot of the relevant details that I was interested in. So I did a lot of YouTube research to identify the genuine and informative videos, and used YouTube’s auto-translate feature to jot down the information. And, of course, I had to make minor grammatical adjustments to the text in order to make it reader-friendly.
Let’s start with the fortune teller from Bangkok who calls herself Mor Plai, but whose real name is Navaracha Pinitlokakorn. She is a doctorate, and, after she acquired the gift of prophecy sometime around the year 2010, she made some uncannily accurate predictions about major events, which gave her celebrity status in Thailand. Since then, she has been frequently interviewed by Thai TV channels and newspapers. However, it was only after she had accurately predicted the recent Myanmar earthquake that she turned into an internet sensation, and people all over East Asia frantically tried to find out more information about her life and her prophecies.
The most informative video about Mor Plai’s life and prophecies was published in the Chinese language by a popular YouTuber named Wen Zhao. In his video titled, “Thai female prophet: 95 days left before the 2025 global catastrophe, the way it will happen is chilling” (published April 27, 2025), he refers to Mor Plai as “Pura” or “Mor Pura”. In Thailand, the generic term for a fortune teller is “Mor Pra” (or “Mor Doo”), which could be why Wen Zhao used the term “Mor Pura” to refer to her. Initially, this caused me some confusion because I could not find any famous Thai fortune teller named “Mor Pura” using Google search, and it was only after using some more keyword-based searches that I figured out that the name she went by was Mor Plai.
Now that the little confusion about the name has been cleared up, let me share some of the interesting stuff that Wen Zhao said about Mor Plai’s bizarre childhood experiences, how she acquired her special prophetic abilities, some of her amazing predictions till date that have come true, and what she foresees for the future.
“Pura is very different from the prophet that everyone imagines. She looks like an ordinary Thai modern girl. She will post all kinds of beautiful photos on her social media platform…Pura claims that she has had psychic abilities since she was a child. In 2014, Pura was interviewed by Thairath Talk, a TV station under Thairath Newspaper, one of the largest media in Thailand...Pura said that, since she was a child, she was able to see spirit beings that other people couldn’t see. Sometimes they were ghosts, and sometimes they were gods. But she had assumed that everyone else must be seeing these entities as well, just as she was…
Opposite Pura’s house was an abandoned house, which looked empty from the outside. But little Pura could see people coming in and out from time to time. During these times, little Pura would stand under the eaves of her house and wave and say hello to these people, but they usually ignored little Pura. Family and friends thought that little Pura was a strange girl, for they would see her waving and saying hello to the empty air. But they felt that she was just being childish or naughty, and did not give it much importance.
One day, Pura saw a strange old man walking out of the abandoned house. As usual, Pura waved to him. This time, the old man also waved to Pura. Little Pura was very happy, and she ran across the street to talk to the old man. Pura’s family and neighbors were unnerved to see her standing alone in the front yard of the abandoned house, dancing and talking to herself, and laughing from time to time. Everyone thought that the little girl must have finally gone crazy. The family hurried to take Pura back home, but Pura struggled and refused, saying that she was playing games with her uncle…Some of the neighbors got curious and went into the abandoned house to check. They were shocked to find an old man’s body in the house. While the adults were panicking, little Pura ran into the house, pointed at the body, and said that it was this uncle who was playing with her.
From then on, the news spread in the neighborhood that little Pura could interact with ghosts, and no child dared to come to her house to play. Of course, no one dared to bully her, either. As Pura grew up, she realized that she could not only see spirits, but also different gods. She even saw the Hindu god Krishna and communicated with him. When Pura told her family about these things, her parents were shocked and scared…So, when she was a teenager, her parents took her to see a psychiatrist. Pura passed all the tests, and the doctor told her parents that Pura was not mentally ill. While her parents were relieved to hear this, they also warned their daughter that, in the future, she was not to blurt out what she had seen in front of outsiders. As a result, the older Pura grew, the fewer friends she had, and the more she kept her special abilities a secret.
But a change occurred when Pura was about 20 years old. A spirit who looked like Yama, the King of the Underworld in Buddhism (and Hinduism), came into contact with Pura and taught her how to read faces and tell fortunes. He also gave her the ability to predict the future, and the spirit asked her to use the name “Mor Pura”. After that, Pura began to tell fortunes for people around her and would occasionally post her predictions for the coming year on her social media channel.
The scope of her predictions is wide, ranging from politics, economy and society, to natural disasters. Pura calls herself the “medium of the gods” because, every time, before something big happens, the gods come to tell her about it, sometimes using voice and sometimes with the help of images. Some pictures appear very clear to her, while others are blurry. Although Pura does not understand some of the information she receives, she feels that her duty is to be a faithful messenger to convey the will of God. So, she simply says what she has heard or seen.
It so happened that, in 2014, Thairath Newspaper started its own multimedia platform called Thairath Talk. In order to attract viewers, it invited various people to interview. Mor Pura was also chosen. The program team wanted to do a simple interview, but Pura did not follow the guidelines and talked about her predictions for the future in the program. She made two strange predictions. The first was that a major aviation accident would happen in Southeast Asia, which would shock the world. The strangest thing about this accident would be that it would be a mysterious disappearance without any clear clues. Before the reporter could come to his senses, Pura made a second prediction. She said that she saw a boat carrying children, which would disappear at sea…
Just two months later, both of her predictions came true. In March 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 mysteriously disappeared on its way to Beijing. More than ten years have passed and it is still missing. And then, in April 2014, a Korean passenger and cargo ferry named Sewol sank. Sewol is a 6825-ton ferry. On the morning of the 16th, it sank while carrying passengers and cargo from Incheon to Jeju Island. A total of 780 passengers and crew members died, including 250 high school students. It was, indeed, a ship full of children. This was the worst maritime accident in South Korea’s history. It attracted great attention not only in South Korea but also around the world. Only then did the audience suddenly realize that Pura was, indeed, a prophet.
From then on, many media outlets came to interview her. But Pura did not accept interviews every time. She would only show up when something big was about to happen. In June 2015, Pura made another shocking statement when she was interviewed by “Women’s Magazine”. She looked at a map on the wall and pointed her finger towards the location of Malaysia. Talking about the possibility of a disaster in Malaysia, she pointed to Kuala Lampur, the capital of Malaysia, saying that a famous building in the city would catch fire. Around 20 days later, a fire broke out on a small hill called Bukit Aman in Kuala Lampur. The building that caught fire happened to be the headquarters of the Royal Malaysia Police. So, this matter became the focus of new reports for several consecutive days. Pura’s accurate prediction shocked the Thais yet again…
In the second half of 2024, Pura was interviewed by Thairath Talk again, and in course of the discussions she suddenly said that, a few months later, probably between March and April 2025, an earthquake would occur in the Myanmar area, and would affect the northern part of Thailand, but the impact would not be great. After saying this, she paused, thought for a while, and added, “Bangkok will be affected by the earthquake, and the buildings will shake.” The host didn’t quite believe this when he heard this. He looked at Pura with suspicion because earthquakes are not common in Thailand…But an earthquake occurred in Myanmar in March 2025 and many high-rise buildings in Bangkok also shook. These scenes confirmed Pura’s prediction, and everyone was shocked…
In April 2025, Pura appeared again. She first appeared on the popular talk show of GMM, the largest entertainment media group of Thailand, and then on the live broadcast room of Woody, a well-known Thai host. In both shows, Pura made even more terrifying predictions. Let’s look at them one by one. Let’s start with Pura’s prediction on the GMM program. She said that, before August 2025, that is, from June to July, a province in Thailand that begins with K or Kai should pay attention. It will be affected by floods, but this flood is not caused by rainfall, but by the fluctuations of the sea or the earth. In other words, a disaster like a tsunami will occur, and tsunamis are caused by earthquakes. This statement shocked all Thais. The word tsunami also reminded all Thai netizens of the tragic consequences of the 2004 tsunami, and they couldn’t help but shudder…
Pura explained the disaster more clearly in the live broadcast room of host Woody. Pura said that this was almost like a global disaster. The volcano is about to erupt. The places Thai people like to travel to would be affected, and tourists would die. To be specific, it would be Sashimi (i.e., Japan) and Indonesia. Sashimi means “raw fish,” and Japan is famous for eating raw fish. Japan is also a favorite tourist destination for Thais. Pura said that there is a ring of volcanoes on the seabed that had been dormant for a long time. The big one has not exploded yet. The smaller volcanoes will erupt first, followed by the big one, which will cause a tsunami.”
With that, we come to the end of Wen Zhao’s narration of Mor Plai's bizarre life and remarkable prophetic powers, and needless to say, he has done an excellent job of pulling together information from many different sources to give us an illuminating account of this enigmatic Thai psychic. The account is also quite accurate, since I have listened to many YouTube interviews of Mor Plai where she essentially repeated the same things. The unreal accuracy of her prophecies so far is quite amazing to say the least, which kind of gives you an uneasy feeling of inevitability about her tsunami prediction in the July-August timeframe this year.
There’s one correction that I would like to make to Wen Zhao’s presentation. Wen Zhao said that, according to Mor Plai, the undersea volcanic eruption and tsunami will occur “before August 2025, that is, from June to July”. That is not entirely correct. In the GMM interview, she had said that the tsunami will occur “by August”, by which she meant, “by the end of August.” We can be certain of this, because on Woody’s live broadcast she spelt it out even more precisely: “The time is in July and August,” she told Woody.
As Wen Zhao mentioned, once netizens realized that Mor Plai had successfully predicted the Myanmar earthquake, she became eagerly sought after by social media podcasters. In an interview with a Chinese YouTube channel published on April 12, 2025, Mor Plai was forthcoming about some of her childhood experiences. When asked what kind of spirits she used to see as a child, she replied,
“When I was a child I saw many spirits. For example, there were some spirits under some lamp posts, some were wearing school uniforms, and some were in different colors, either black or white, and their eyes were either black or white. I saw many, many of these…sometimes spirits asked me for help but I could not do it when I was a child.”
When asked to describe how the King of the Underworld, Yama, (who taught her how to read faces and tell fortunes) looked like, she replied, “When you first see him, he appears very big, and you will feel very hot because there are a lot of fires around him.” So, “big and fiery” seems to be the keywords. Not surprising, because in many sacred texts we find that, whenever a person gets a vision of God, he seems to appear enveloped in flames. For instance, when the Hebrew prophet Ezekiel saw Yahweh on the throne above the cherubs, he saw a human-like figure, glowing like fire, and enveloped in a brilliant light. (Ezekiel 1.26 28)
Regarding the mysterious disappearance of Flight 370, when she was asked if there was any chance it may be found later, she said,
“The Golden Triangle (possibly referring to the Bermuda Triangle), the mysterious delta, some of the aura and magnetic field of the mysterious delta changed, causing it to fall…many years later, they may see its wreckage, but not the entire thing. The people inside are no longer here. All you will see is the wreckage of the plane. This may happen in another forty or fifty years.”
While some people may feel hopeful to know that the wreckage of Flight 370 might be found some day, if you are one of those who had expected that all the passengers will walk out of a time portal without aging a single day in all those years, you are likely to be disappointed.
In a video published by the YouTube channel Kiinthailand in the Thai language on March 30, just a few days after the Myanmar quake on March 28, Mor Plai was asked how she had known that the disaster would occur. Mor Plai replied,
“The earthquake was more serious than I had expected. At the time of making the prophecy, I saw a map of Thailand, and around Bangkok there were multiple branching cracks. That’s why I made the prophecy. I also saw images of buildings collapsing, but I thought they were in Burma (Myanmar).” She went on to add that Bangkok will experience aftershocks in 2025, and this is just the beginning.
In an interview with the YouTube channel CD Chai published on April 7, Mor Plai clarified that she acts as a “spokesperson” of the spirit realm. This is what she said:
“When I first mentioned the earthquake (Myanmar), it was not directly related to this matter…it was just a conversation. We just continued to talk and continued to visit (other topics) and then I accidentally said it. I can hear some whispers. I tell everyone what I hear, and say it in the gentlest way. It often says it. It often repeats. I have to say it because I act as a spokesperson. If I don’t speak out, I am afraid of being scolded. I was afraid of being scolded at that time.”
I found this really interesting. I can’t recall any other channel or medium saying that he or she is afraid of being scolded by spirits. It almost sounds like a family. But how exactly do the spirits scold her? What if they come down too hard on her and she starts feeling sad or depressed? Would it be a good idea for her to go to a psychiatrist and say, "My spirit family is acting unusually mean with me"? I would really like to be able to chat with her one day about these things.
In this video published by the YouTube channel Kiinthailand on April 3, we can listen to what Mor Plai had actually said in the GMM and Woody interviews, following the successful prediction of the Myanmar quake. During the GMM interview, she had made additional predictions: “During the Water Sprinkling Festival (i.e., Songkran Festival from April 13-15) this year, there will be flooding and fire accidents.” And when the host asked, “How can there be rain in summer?” she replied, “It’s going to rain!”
And guess what? That’s exactly what happened. There was heavy rain in Bangkok during the Songkran festival, and a flash flood in Chiang Mai washed away the temporary furniture set up by the food vendors along the riverbank. However, no tourists were injured in this incident, since they had left by then, thanks to an early warning. Once again, Mor Plai does not cease to amaze with her incredible predictions.
Mor Plai had made another interesting prediction during the GMM interview. She said that one of the buildings in Bangkok, which had been damaged by the recent earthquake, will collapse. But she did not specify which building it is, and when exactly it will collapse. “It’s the damaged building. It will collapse. Everyone is running out again from that building. It’s a big building. The interior space is empty. I feel this building is not for people to live in.” On Woody’s live broadcast, she continued on this theme. Regarding the future of Bangkok, she said,
“Wealthy people who live in tall buildings will sell their residence and relocate to different places. The tall buildings will start having problems, and later it will not be possible to sell these flats, and they will be discarded. Government offices may be relocated to other provinces. Stay away from tall buildings. Many people in Bangkok will quit their jobs and move to other provinces. There will be many foreigners taking over their jobs. People from Burma, Laos, Cambodia etc. The Thai economy shall face severe problems.”
One can imagine that if a person living in a Bangkok high-rise listens to these scary predictions, he might start shivering and trembling long before the next earthquakes arrive. Mor Plai is clearly foreseeing a lot of difficulty for Thailand in the coming years, and, understandably, the Thais who follow her prophecies could be feeling jittery. If her dire prediction about the volcanic eruptions and tsunamis in July-August also materializes, it could, potentially, trigger a sell-off in the real estate market in Bangkok. Those of you who are reading this – don’t get conned into buying a high-rise apartment in Bangkok at throwaway prices right now.
Let me touch upon one final apocalyptic prediction made by Mor Plai, which reminded me of some of the prophetic utterings of Edgar Cayce. More than ten years ago, on a Woody broadcast, Plai had made a stunning prophecy about a global apocalypse in the coming decades that would completely alter the geological profile of our planet. She said,
“In another 78 years, the map of the Earth will be completely changed. There will be very little land left. There may be less than a third of the land left.”
In a reading given in 1934, Edgar Cayce had said that large portions of many continents would sink under the oceans in the period from ’58 to ’98, which, as I have argued in my book Yuga Shift, refers to the period from 2058 to 2098.
“As to the changes physical again: The earth will be broken up in the western portion of America. The greater portion of Japan must go into the sea. The upper portion of Europe will be changed as in the twinkling of an eye. Land will appear off the east coast of America. There will be the upheavals in the Arctic and in the Antarctic that will make for the eruption of volcanoes in the Torrid areas, and there will be shifting then of the poles - so that where there has been those of a frigid or the semi-tropical will become the more tropical, and moss and fern will grow. And these will begin in those periods in '58 to '98, when these will be proclaimed as the periods when His light will be seen again in the clouds. (Reading 3976-15, January 19, 1934)
The fact that Cayce had prophesied that the “greater portion of Japan must go into the sea” and there will be “the eruption of volcanoes in the Torrid areas,” brings additional context to Mor Plai’s prediction of a volcanic eruption and tsunami close to Japan. A lot of things seem to be adding up and falling into place, and the eerie alignment in prophetic utterings across centuries, in combination with the ongoing changes in the environment, geopolitics and human consciousness, is making it increasingly evident that we are now living in the times of the greatest shift in recorded human history.
What makes Mor Plai’s prediction even more ominous is that an almost exact scenario was foreseen by a clairvoyant Japanese manga artist named Ryo Tatsuki in one of her precognitive dreams. And the date that she saw clearly in her dream for this mega disaster was July 2025!
Ryo Tatsuki is a Japanese manga artist who has been having vivid, precognitive dreams since she was young, starting sometime in the 1980s. Her dreams varied from mundane, private matters to incidents of global importance. For years, she kept notes and made sketches of her dreams in her "dream diary". Then she began to notice a pattern. Some of her dreams came true, maybe days, months or even years later. Later, she realized that her dreams came true at times that are multiples of 5: such as after 5 days, 15 days, 5 years, 15 years, and so on.
In 1999, she published a manga book titled “The Future I Saw”. The comic book contained illustrations of 15 precognitive dreams that she had between 1980 and 1995, with brief notes in the margins. At first, her book received a lukewarm response. After all, by the time the book was published in 1999, many of her dreams had already come true. People are more interested in predictions about the future, and not about events that have already happened.
But things changed dramatically after Japan was hit by the devastating Tohoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011. Some people remembered that, on the cover of her book, Ryo Tatsuki had included the phrase, “A great disaster will occur in March 2011”. That immediately sparked off a nationwide interest in her book, and it flew off the shelves. People began to dig into her older predictions and found a few others that matched up with major events. However, some of her dreams related to mundane matters or were too cryptic to be interpreted.
The reason why Ryo Tatsuki’s dream prophecies have once again come into the limelight is because, in the year 2021, Tatsuki came out with a reprint of her manga, in which she added a new, terrifying prediction: a catastrophic undersea volcanic eruption would occur somewhere between Japan and the Philippines in July 2025, which would make the ocean boil and trigger a tsunami three times larger than the one in 2011. She believes that Japan, Taiwan, Indonesia and the Northern Mariana Islands will be in the direct path of this immensely destructive wave, although many other countries are likely to be affected as well. She wrote in the book, "The future version of me said: 'It’s not over. The real beginning is from 2025.'"
I became aware of Ryo Tatsuki’s work while researching Mor Plai. In the comments section of the videos, many people said how the tsunami prediction made by Mor Plai was remarkably aligned with what Ryo Tatsuki had seen in her dreams. Once again, I had to hunt down the informative videos, which were mostly in Japanese or Chinese, and I used YouTube’s auto-translate feature to note the interesting points. If I were to recommend a video in English, I would say this one contains the most detailed information about the prophecies of Ryo Tatsuki that have already come true. However, when it comes to the new prophecy about the disaster of July 2025, I will refer to a different source when I get to it.
Here’s a summary of what I managed to find out about the prophecies of Ryo Tatsuki that have already materialized and have been included in her 1999 manga, “The Future I Saw”.
1. Freddie Mercury's Death (1991)
Tatsuki had a lucid dream on November 24, 1976, when she saw a clear image of Freddie Mercury dying while performing on stage. She took note of the dream, but at the time, she did not think much of it, of course. Freddie Mercury passed away on November 24, 1991, exactly 15 years later. That was when Tatsuki started taking her dreams a little more seriously and began to think that maybe these dreams are precognitive.
2. Princess Diana's death (1997)
In 1992, Tatsuki had a dream in which she was walking down a long corridor inside a palace. At the end of the hallway hung a portrait of a blonde woman holding a baby. The name written on the painting was "Diana". In her diary, she drew the lady who appeared in her dream and scribbled a note, “Diana? Died?” 5 years later, Princess Diana died in a car crash in Paris.
3. 1995 Kobe Earthquake
In January 1995, Tatsuki had a dream in which an old man led her to a place with cracked ground, and she got the feeling that it was the city of Kobe. She jotted the dream down, thinking that something might happen there later. 15 days later, the Great Hanshin earthquake struck Kobe on January 17, 1995, resulting in over 5000 deaths, and the city was left in ruins. It was Japan's second-deadliest earthquake of the 20th century.
4. 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami
On the cover of her 1999 manga "The Future I Saw", Tatsuki had written, "A great disaster will occur in March 2011". Almost like clockwork, the devastating undersea Tohoku earthquake and tsunami struck Japan on March 11, 2011. The enormous waves devastated Japan's coastline, killing nearly 20,000 people and causing the meltdown of the Fukushima nuclear plant. This 9.1 earthquake was the most powerful ever recorded in Japan. In the Sendai area of Japan, the tsunami waves traveled at 700 km/h and reached up to 10 km inland. More than 100 evacuation sites were washed away by the waves.
5. Covid-19 Pandemic (2020)
Tatsuki’s 1999 manga contained a prediction about a virus causing global disruption in the year 2020. One of her entries stated that, "in 25 years, an unknown virus will come in 2020, disappear after peaking in April, and appear again 10 years later." This is an obvious reference to the COVID-19 virus, and her timing of the event is eerily accurate as well, for it was around April 2020 that many countries started experiencing their first wave.
Now we come to the more interesting part – the prophecies of Ryo Tatsuki that are yet to pass. The one about the July 2025 tsunami was included in the reprint edition of the manga that came out in 2021. She also has a prophecy about an earthquake and a tsunami that could occur between June and September 2026. This was mentioned in the 1999 edition of the book itself.
While searching around for an informative video that would explain the newly included prophecy about the July 2025 mega-tsunami, I came across this YouTube video titled, The prophetic dream manga "The Future I Saw", what's the catastrophe that will happen in July 2025? This was published on a Japanese YouTube channel called the Naokiman Show on October 3, 2021, just one day after the new edition of Tatsuki’s manga came out. Interestingly, the podcaster personally knows Ryo Tatsuki and had a conversation with her about her new precognitive dream. So, the explanation in this video is about as informative and authentic as it can possibly get. Here’s what he said:
"I was able to meet up with her (Ryo Tatsuki) a few times and got to hear her stories. Just yesterday, on October 2nd, a new comic book about her dreams were published. Tatsuki san (“san” is a common honorific suffix in Japanese) says that she still sees precognitive dreams, and all of her dreams are recorded in her dream diary. Tatsuki san has shared with us her new dreams, which might come into reality....
Tatsuki san had travelled to India in the past (in 1998), and her experience on this trip became the turning point in her life. I will explain in detail later, but she saw this particular dream in India. Using her expression directly...” You know how bubbles come up when you're stirring a thick soup, right?” She saw that in a vision of the Pacific Ocean near Japan. It was bubbling up. It was hard for her to understand what it meant. Did it indicate an explosion? Or maybe a submarine eruption?
Surprisingly, Tatsuki san recently saw the same dream again (July 5, 2021). The same thing happened, but this time with two dragons in the area. And a date was clearly indicated in this dream. July 2025. In her dream, Tatsuki san was looking down on the earth, and the patterns on the below image shows the two dragons she saw. It was like seeing the earth with Google Earth, and there was a sudden eruption in the water between Japan and the Philippines. This caused waves to spread out in all directions, causing huge tsunamis hitting the Pacific Rim...
However, this is not the end of Tatsuki san's dream. In her dream, the submarine eruption not only triggered tsunami waves but pushed the lands to rise, resulting in the lands of Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Philippines to be connected as one big land. I know, it’s hard to understand. But she said that an island emerged from the ocean floor, which connected all the lands...
Tatsuki san says that she sees a bright future. People are not depressed from the disaster, but were cooperating to create a stable future. She says the "age of spirit" will arrive..."
So, that’s what we know about Ryo Tatsuki’s new prophetic dream, and it seems to clearly hint at a huge undersea volcanic eruption in July 2025 that would make the waters boil and trigger a mega-tsunami, which Tatsuki believes could be much bigger than the 2011 tsunami. The enormous quantities of magma released from this eruption could create new “islands” in the sea, connecting other landmasses. And what about the dragons she saw in her dream? My guess is that those shapes could be formed by the ash clouds coming out of the ocean.
It goes without saying that a massive undersea eruption of the kind Tatsuki saw in her dream, would inflict catastrophic, widespread, damage, not only from the tsunami waves and earthquakes, but also from the ash clouds, and gases such as sulphur dioxide that would be released from the eruption, which could block out the sun partially, thereby lowering global temperatures and causing famine-like conditions.
Since the same scenario was prophesied by the Thai prophet Mor Plai, there is a high likelihood of this disaster happening in the July-August timeframe, as the earth goes through its own cleansing process at the time of this shift into the ascending cycle of consciousness, which Tatsuki called the “age of spirit”. The inner-earth spirit beings, who are the true caretakers of our planet, and have the ability to foresee catastrophic earth changes, may be trying to warn us by transmitting these messages through these two mediums.
Some people have been saying on YouTube and elsewhere that the tsunami predicted by Tatsuki is going to occur precisely on 5th July, 2025. This is an online speculation that has garnered momentum, and now many people are repeating it without checking for facts. Tatsuki said July 2025, and the date 7/25 is also displayed on the cover of the reprint edition of her manga. However, Tatsuki saw this dream for the second time on July 5, 2021, exactly at 4:18 am (as per a note in her book), and there have been instances in the past when her precognitive dream was fulfilled many years later on the exact same date. This must have been the reasoning that gave rise to this rumor.
As innocuous as this rumor might sound, I am getting a bad feeling about it, maybe due to years of watching Hollywood thrillers. Imagine what might happen if July 5 passes uneventfully. Many people across Japan and East Asia will be relieved and start celebrating, they will say that the prophecy was a dud, scientists will come out bravely and admonish people for believing baseless rumors, the government will organize fairs and festivities on the promenade, and families will bring out their swimsuits and barbeque sets and rush to the beaches. And then, one day, they will hear the ocean roar, see the waters boil, and, just maybe, an enormous, fiery dragon will emerge from the ocean, look at the people with angry, bloodshot eyes, and say in a rasping voice, “Why don’t you guys ever listen?”
For the moment, however, many tourists have taken these two prophecies seriously, because of which there have been lots of cancellations of travel bookings to Japan, particularly from East Asia. Travel agencies in Hong Kong and China have reported that nearly 80% of bookings to Japan for late June and early July have been canceled, and overall bookings for the region are down 50% year-on-year. CNN has also picked up on this news, and as per their report,
“CN Yuen, managing director of WWPKG, a travel agency based in Hong Kong, said bookings to Japan dropped by half during the Easter holiday and are expected to dip further in the coming two months. The speculations have scared off mostly travelers from mainland China and Hong Kong, which are Japan’s second and fourth-largest sources of tourists, respectively. But the fear has also spread to other markets such as Thailand and Vietnam, where social media platforms are overflowing with posts and videos warning people to think twice before traveling to Japan.”
While tour operators in Japan may be ruing their misfortune, and Japanese government officials and scientists are urging people not to believe in “unfounded speculations”, tourists to the region are unwilling to take their chances against a tsunami, especially since the memories of the devastation wrought by the Indian Ocean tsunami of 2004 and the Tohuku tsunami of 2011 are still fresh in the minds of many.
Besides, the possibility of underwater volcanoes erupting in the Pacific is going up by the day. Japan, Philippines and Indonesia are located on the Pacific Ring of Fire, which is the most active volcanic and seismic zone of our planet. It contains between 750 and 915 active or dormant volcanoes, around two-thirds of the world's total. About 90% of the world's earthquakes occur within the belt.
Although most of the volcanoes on land have been identified, many more remain hidden under the ocean. The NOAA estimates that “80 percent of the volcanic eruptions on Earth take place in the ocean. Most of these volcanoes are thousands of feet deep and difficult to find.” The topography of the Pacific sea floor is very complex and contains a number of subduction zones and volcanic arcs. Subduction zones are places where tectonic plates collide and the heavier plate gets shoved (or subducted) under the lighter plate, forming deep ocean trenches. The subduction zones are places of high volcanic activity and powerful earthquakes.
The “Submarine Ring of Fire” program of the NOAA has identified some of the undersea volcanic arcs of the Pacific, such as the Mariana Arc, NE Lau Basin, Kermadec Arc and Explorer Ridge, all of which contain many submarine volcanoes. The Mariana Arc extends along the seafloor between Japan and Indonesia and is, therefore, of more interest to us in the context of these prophecies. NOAA has found that “the Mariana region contains 9 volcanic islands and more than 60 submarine volcanoes, of which at least 20 are hydrothermally active.” It is not difficult to imagine that, if the submarine volcanoes of the Mariana Arc start exploding one after the other, they could precipitate the kind of scenario foreseen by Ryo Tatsuki and Mor Plai.
Besides, there has been increased magma movement and volcanic activity across the world in recent months. New volcanic eruptions in the Pacific Ring of Fire have occurred in Russia, the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan, and on the other side of the Pacific in Costa Rica, Guatemala and Mexico. Even the entire Mediterranean region is showing signs of increased magma activity and earthquake swarms in places like Santorini, Crete and Campi Flegrei, and recently, Mount Etna unleashed its most powerful eruption in a decade. Scientists are warning that Mount Spurr, a volcano close to the town of Anchorage in Alaska, is likely to erupt soon, and a large underwater volcano off the coast of Oregon, known as Axial Seamount, is showing signs of impending eruption. It wouldn’t be surprising, therefore, if submarine volcanoes near Japan or the Philippines start erupting as well.
Ryo Tatsuki, in her 1999 manga, had foreseen another catastrophe that could occur in 2026. She said that an earthquake and tsunami will affect the Kanagawa Prefecture between June and September 2026, and she believes that it will be a Nankai megathrust earthquake that will be the culprit. In an interview with Japan Today, she said, “But in the case of the Nankai earthquake, I was also washed away by a tsunami. As shown in my illustrations, extensive parts of Kanagawa Prefecture are inundated, including the area around Aokibashi in the Kinko-cho area of Yokohama's Kanagawa Ward.”
Not leaving anything to chance, Tatsuki says she plans to move out of Kanagawa Prefecture before June 2026. Asked if she had a message for Friday readers, Tatsuki replied, “If a major earthquake occurs, even if you are living in a place that was never hit by a tsunami back to your grandparents' generation, evacuate at once!”
What are Nankai megathrust earthquakes, you might be wondering? These are powerful earthquakes that occur along the Nankai Trough, a subduction zone off the coast of southeast Japan, where the Philippine Sea Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian (or Amur) Plate. The immense pressure and friction between these plates can cause them to lock up, and when the stress becomes too great, they rupture, resulting in a megathrust earthquake of magnitude 8 or greater.
This BBC report provides more details about these powerful quakes that occur periodically every 100 years or so.:
“Earthquakes along the Nankai Trough - an area of seismic activity which stretches along Japan's Pacific coast - have already been responsible for thousands of deaths. In 1707, a rupture along its entire 600km length caused the second-biggest earthquake ever recorded in Japan and was followed by the eruption of Mount Fuji. These so-called "megathrust" earthquakes tend to strike every hundred years or so, often in pairs: the last ones were in 1944 and 1946. Experts say there is a 70% to 80% chance of a magnitude 8 or 9 quake striking somewhere along the trough in the next 30 years, with worst-case scenarios suggesting it would cause trillions in damage, and potentially kill hundreds of thousands.”
That’s all I have for the astonishing prophecies of these two lady prophets: Mor Plai of Thailand and Ryo Tatsuki of Japan. Both of them have made some stunningly accurate predictions till now that defy all rational explanations, and they seem to be acting as intermediaries between the human and spirit realms, as our planet goes through its purification rites in preparation for a new cycle of the ages. Whether or not their terrifying prophecy of a volcanic eruption and tsunami sometime in July or August this year comes to pass, we will be better off by keeping our ears and minds open to new thoughts and possibilities, as we navigate this period of epochal shift.
