JAPAN - Japan has been rocked by 900+ earthquakes in just 10 days across the Tokara Islands. Now the government says the risk of a magnitude 9+ MEGAQUAKE in the Nankai Trough is as high as 82% and could kill nearly 300,000 people. This isn’t fear porn. It’s math. The fault line snaps every 100–200 years. The last one? 1946. Japan admits their current response plans would only reduce deaths by 20%. They’re not ready. Not even close. Locals can’t sleep. Flights are being cancelled. Even a manga prediction of a July 5 quake has the public rattled. The Ring of Fire is active. The pressure is real. And this many quakes in this short a window? That’s not normal. Something’s coming. And Japan knows it.
