The government also establishes the "Japan Future Council" which consists of various young people from each ministry and agency to protect Japan's future. One day, a geophysicist named Tadokoro Yusuke warned that there will be a huge earthquake happening at the Izu Peninsula which will cause the Kanto region to sink. The next day, a huge earthquake happened as what was predicted by Tadokoro. This shocks the nation as the government has split opinions on whether the sinking will really happen.
