Where did the specific rumor about a “big earthquake at 4:18 a.m. on July 5, 2025” originate? According to Shigeki Sugiyama, the editor-in-chief of the Complete Edition, Ryo Tatsuki had a dream about “July 2025” on the morning of a publishing meeting held on July 5, 2021. That dream was eventually included in the book. However, the dramatic statement printed on the book jacket, “The real disaster… is in July 2025!!!” was a marketing decision made by the editor, not Ryo’s own words. The original book never mentioned a specific time or place. The widely circulated “4:18 a.m.” detail is the result of online exaggeration and over-interpretation. She also did not say it is on July 5th, but only said it is in July. (can be any date in July)
