Japanese 'Baba Vanga' Predicts 2030 Virus Outbreak That 'Could Kill Hundreds'
Last Updated:
The updated edition of Tatsuki's book renews her earthquake prediction, causing Japan trip bookings to drop sharply, with further declines expected in the coming months
A renowned psychic from Japan, often likened to the famed Bulgarian prophet Baba Vanga, has made a startling prediction about a future global crisis. Ryo Tatsuki, a comic artist and prophet known for her accurate predictions, has warned of a deadly virus emerging in 2030. This virus, she claims, will be reminiscent of the COVID-19 pandemic and could present a significant threat to global health.
Tatsuki, popularly referred to as the 'New Baba Vanga' due to her prophetic prowess, has previously predicted high-profile events such as the deaths of Freddie Mercury and Princess Diana, the 2011 Kobe earthquake, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
In her book ' The Future as I See It ' (1999), she predicted an unknown virus peaking in April 2020, which would then dissipate, only to return after a decade. She now foresees another, even more devastating virus in 2030, potentially causing numerous fatalities.
The comparison to Baba Vanga stems from her own remarkable history of predictions. Baba Vanga, who lost her vision in a storm at age 12, claimed this incident granted her the ability to foresee the future. She accurately predicted about 85% of her prophecies, earning global recognition.
Tatsuki's predictions have sparked significant concern, particularly as COVID-19 cases are rising again in India, prompting calls for increased caution. Alongside her viral prediction, Tatsuki has also forewarned of a major earthquake in Japan, projected for July 2025.
Japan, situated in a seismically active region, experiences around 1,500 earthquakes annually, many of which go unnoticed due to their low intensity. However, the 2011 earthquake and subsequent tsunami caused widespread destruction, including damaging the Fukushima nuclear plant, an event Tatsuki had predicted.
As the world remains vigilant, Tatsuki's predictions serve as a stark reminder of potential future challenges, urging global preparedness.

Vivek Oberoi's Net Worth: Bollywood actor credits early stock market exposure for building ₹1,200 crore fortune
Actor Vivek Oberoi, whose acting career didn't went well, has turned himself into a successful businessman by creating a ₹ 1,200 crore biz empire. During a recent interview on Owais Andrabi's Dubai Property Insider podcast, Vivek revealed that his father only played the role of a mentor in his life and never helped him financially. Vivek, son of actor and politician Suresh Oberoi, made his Bollywood debut in 2002 with Ram Gopal Verma's film 'Company', and became a household name with movie 'Saathiya' (2002), directed by Shaad Ali. Talking about how he built such a big empire, Vivek said that his father groomed him regarding economics and business from a very young age. 'He would bring me a product and would ask me to create an entire business plan about how I was going to sell it. I started understanding the nuances of business from the age of 10 because I was going from door to door to sell that stuff.' Vivek further said that his father used to tell him 'I am a rich man; you are not. You will get there, but you have to do it on your own.' He also credited his exposure to the stock market trading and real estate investments during his teenage years for shaping up his entrepreneurial journey. He said: 'I was able to raise $3 million for my first company, and I was only 19, and I made a lot of money for my investors and myself, and I sold the company by the time I was 23. If I hadn't been applying myself for all those years, it never would have been possible. Because I put in that work, now I have been able to take nine companies public on the Indian stock market, and I am planning to take four more.' As of April 2025 Vivek Oberoi has a net worth of ₹ 1200 crore, according to Forbes India. His ventures include BNW Real Estate Developers, a prominent player in the UAE luxury market, and Solitario, a lab-grown diamond brand. Other business ventures in which Vivek has invested include global brand accelerator Impresario Global, a gin brand called Rutland Square Spirits, and vehicle care platform ReadyAssist. He relocated to Dubai since the Covid pandemic.

He says, "Jyotish ko jaake kehti hai, Rahu aur ketu ko toh main sambhal lungi ye Sidhu ka koi upay batao. .(I can handle Rahu and Ketu, but what do I do with Sidhu?). This had everyone bursting into laughter.

He further says that Sidhu had no problems sharing the judges chair with Archana. Kapil says, "Sidhu ji said look, I do commentary with someone even during matches, I can handle it sitting next to someone here too. of course, it's a whole other thing that he never lets anyone else talk."

The ace comedian expresses his happiness about Navjot Singh Sidhu's return on the show. However, he jokes that because of him they ended up taking a long break of six months. Sidhu gives a hilarious comeback, "Good thing it took only six months, imagine what you'd have done if it took nine months." Kapil doesn't leave the chance and takes a dig at Sidhu and says, "Main toh phir break mein mere bacche hue, jab corona hua, aap toh chalte matchon mein kar gaye, dekho aap." (For the record, I had my kids during COVID, when the world was on a break. You had yours while the cricket matches were still going on).
