“The Future I Saw” — Prophetic Manga by Ryo Tatsuki
Today we are going to talk about a very interesting topic that is about a prophetic mangaka, Ryo Tatsuki, who has predicted several events that have happened and others that are about to happen!
Ryo Tatsuki began her professional career in the 1970s and in the 1980s she shared with the world that she had a series of dreams that were very different from her normal dreams and that she felt were prophetic. She began to share a little with people close to her and made her notes and annotations, but obviously at that time she was simply considered as a slightly eccentric or crazy person, as someone who tries to attract attention to sell her manga.
However, it was not until 1999 that she published a book called “ The Future I Saw “ (私が見た未来) and in it she shared all these premonitions, some of which had already come true, such as the death of Freddie Mercury in 1991 or the death of Princess Diana 1997. He even predicted the 1995 Kobe earthquake.
Being already 1999, many people still did not believe it but it was not until 2011 in the earthquake and tsunami that hit the Sendai area in Japan that people began to believe and saw this manga as something more prescient since the mangaka had already written about the tsunami, giving details such as the area where it was going to happen, the month and the year, and even mentions in her book that in her “dream” she hurt her face (in fact she is the one who appears on the cover of this book covering his face) and this also happened. In addition, on the cover of the book she appears with a piece of paper in her hand where a date is written with the writing “great March disaster” and it is something that surprised many.
The fulfillment of this prediction triggered the popularity of the manga and the questions began about what would happen next and surprisingly in 2020 he was right again. She predicted that that year there would be a worldwide disease and chaos would begin in society and that this disease would disappear and return in 10 years and this has been interpreted with the COVID-19 pandemic. He even predicted in his book that this virus or this disease was going to have a culmination point in April 2020, which was more or less when the current pandemic had its strongest point of contagion.
The curious thing about these premonitions or prophecies is that she more or less calculates that they will happen every 15 years from the moment she has the “dream” and that if it did not happen in that year, it would be fulfilled in the following 15 years. The way she has these “dreams” or premonitions she explains very metaphysically, she can know exactly why but it’s her feeling not as it says error in the manga drawing is impressive
