That is the reference
The Wikipedia redirect is apparently dead ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Shadow_clone&redirect=no ) and the main page for Naruto doesn't show anything about shadow clones. Care to explain the reference? Do people dress up like a character from the TV show and help out people or what's going on?
Was in a hotel in Sapporo, almost got thrown out of bed. Lot of people in the hotel lobby now. Considering leaving Hokkaido by air if a Hokkaido and Sanriku Subsequent Earthquake Advisory is issued, don't really want to be in a potential megaquake.
Good luck, the Sapporo Chitose airport is closed for inspection of both runways. BTW, you are safer in hotel than outside. No need to stay in lobby, go to bed, just protect your head. I experienced much bigger one in Sapporo in 2018.

I’m curious, how is it more safer inside a building than being outside?
NHK (english): https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20251209_02/ > The Japanese government set up a task force at the crisis management center in the prime minister's office at 11:16 p.m. on Monday in response to the earthquake. A thousand Naruto shadow-clones just got deployed. I'm not being cute, these guys are heroes and role-models to all.
What's a Naruto shadow clone? Google hits are just about a kids show.
The usage here by GP might just be because everyone looks/is-dressed the same and is working in unison, and since they're Japanese, anime comes to mind. In the show, Naruto often uses shadow clones to pull off more complex techniques, throwing himself, having them take turns punching/kicking, or in the case of the rasengan he divides the work of controlling the ball of chakra since he struggled to do it successfully by himself.

This would be the tenth major earthquake (7+ magnitude) along the Pacific ring of fire this year. With the Kamchatka and other earthquakes in the news recently I had a fear that were building to some major event but turns out that this year is about average if not slightly below average for major quakes along the ring of fire.
I heard that smaller (relative) earthquakes actually lower the prob of larger ones, so maybe it is a good thing? A bunch of 7.X earthquakes in the ocean are not going to be hugely destructive.

https://news.caloes.ca.gov/earthquake-myths-separating-fact-... Myth 5 is "Small Earthquakes Relieve Pressure and Prevent Larger Ones"
GP is correct; I'm not sure why CA gov is calling that a myth (it's not). However keep in mind that it's not necessarily true 100% of the time. Or at least the things it might seem to imply at first glance aren't true - the presence or absence of small quakes in a given period doesn't necessarily tell you anything useful about the future.
The long term absence of stress relief small quakes on a known fault line might be bad news, or no news at all, statistics are where the difference is here, not in particular events. See also, 'the big one' and various theories around it.

That's correct, if relatively small earthquakes would stop that could be the precursor to a much bigger one. It's like releasing tension gradually rather than all at once.
Isn’t that a myth? Do you have any sources to back up your claim?

This character can clone himself hundreds times to help others, with art often mirroring the thousands of recovery workers seen in actual event footage.
