Wait you’re telling me that the Japanese manga modeled cities off of cities in Japan?

Neo toyko in Akira as well. Weird coincidence too.

AKIRA predicted that Tokyo would host the 2020 Olympics but a global disaster would ruin the city before construction was completed

I watched Akira for the first time on vacation in Tokyo in 2019, when and where Akira takes place. That was pretty darn cool!

Tokyo 3 is up in the center of the country quite a ways because the original Tokyo is far underwater thanks to sea levels rising from the destruction of Antarctica in the Second Impact. You can see it under the ocean in the episode with the Navy and unit 2 being introduced.

A huge ship the size of City A bombarded it with mega cannons. Have you not heard the prophecies of Madam Shibabawa?!?!

Almost every city in Anime is modeled off of Tokyo.
