Plot Summary

When the staff and students of Xavier's are invited to a conference on mutants and the education system in Tokyp, Japan, a number of them took advantage of the opportunity to visit a foreign country. In the midst of the usual sight-seeing and discovery, however, Julio had a recurring sense of wrongness. The reason for this was discovered when Laurie and Noriko arrived to drag him out of his room - Julio sensed a massive earthquake, of a scale to destroy large parts of the city. Finding some clear ground, he used his powers to divert the energy of the 'quake through himself and released it harmlessly into the sky above. The effort stopped his heart, however, and Laurie and Noriko were forced to use their powers to revive him. Following some time under observation in hospital, he was released, with only his fellow students and the staff aware of the truth of his heroism.

'Jishin Da!' is the Japanese for "It's an earthquake!"

Much of the socking, scene-setting and language-checking for this plot were done by Tapestry and Cora, both of whom have lived in Japan.
