The classic manga "Akira" even predicted the 2020 epidemic?

The classic manga "Akira" even predicted the 2020 epidemic?

The classic manga "Akira" is set in the run-up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and includes a scene showing humanity's measures to control infectious diseases.

Japanese gaming podcaster Hachima Kikou pointed out that in the third volume of Akira, there is a scene showing "the WHO criticizing the infectious disease prevention and control measures of the city of New Tokyo."

Recently, Japanese authorities said that the Olympics will be held as scheduled, but US President Trump called for the Olympics to be postponed for one year. At present, the WHO has not yet made any recommendations on infectious disease prevention and control for this Olympics.

In the anime "Akira", the countdown billboard for the Tokyo Olympics was sprayed with graffiti that read "Stop it, stop it."

According to a recent poll, 60% of 500 Japanese respondents believed the Olympics should be postponed, while only 19% believed it should be held as scheduled.

Although Akira successfully predicted the location of the 2020 Olympics and the sudden outbreak of the epidemic, which makes people admire the author's imagination, it is still purely coincidental. Otherwise, according to the plot of the comics, there will be a danger of the destruction of all mankind.
