Echoes of War [A Zipang anime x The Final Countdown film crossover story]

In this crossover story between anime Zipang and The Final Countdown film. In Echoes of War: A Clash Across Time, two ships from vastly different eras-the USS Nimitz, a nuclear-powered American supercarrier from 1980, and the JDS Mirai, a technologically advanced Japanese destroyer from 2002-are thrown back to the brink of World War II by a temporal anomaly. Stranded in December 1941, both crews must navigate the perilous waters of history, caught between the weight of their respective missions and the risk of altering the timeline.

Tensions rise as the ships cross paths, leading to an ideological and military clash. The Nimitz sees an opportunity to prevent the Pearl Harbor attack, while the Mirai insists on non-interference to safeguard Japan's post-war evolution. What begins as a tense standoff escalates into an explosive naval and aerial battle, testing the limits of their technology, their leadership, and their moral convictions.

With their fates intertwined, the crews grapple with internal mutinies, personal conflicts, and the haunting consequences of their actions. Ultimately, both ships are faced with a devastating decision: to fight for control of the past or to find a way back to their own time before history itself collapses under the weight of their choices.

A gripping tale of duty, sacrifice, and the fragility of time, Echoes of War explores the human cost of war and the dangers of wielding power over the past.
