Suicide Squad Isekai synopsis
Warner Bros. officially described the original Suicide Squad Isekai anime’s story as follows:
"In the crime-ridden Gotham city, Amanda Waller, the head of A.R.G.U.S., has assembled a group of notorious criminals for a mission: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface and King Shark. These DC Super-Villains are sent into an otherworldly realm that's connected to this world through a gate."
The synopsis continued:
"It's a world of swords and magic where orcs rampage and dragons rule the skies—an “ISEKAI”! Harley and others go on a rampage after arriving in ISEKAI but are captured by the Kingdom's soldiers and sent to prison. They only have 72 hours before the bomb on their neck explodes. The deadline is fast approaching. After negotiations with Queen Aldora, the condition for liberation was the conquest of the hostile Imperial army."
It further added:
"They have no choice but to throw themselves head-first into the front line of battle. They run; they die. They lose; they die. With their lives on the line, can Harley Quinn and The Suicide Squad survive in ISEKAI? Brace yourselves for the pulse-pounding saga of the elite task force known as the “Suicide Squad” as they embark on a jaw-dropping adventure! Let the party begin!"
What to expect from Suicide Squad Isekai episode 1? (speculative)
As expected given the above synopsis, Suicide Squad Isekai episode 1 will likely focus on introducing the titular team to fans, which will be a lengthy process considering the number of characters involved. Specific focus will likely be given to Harley Quinn and the Joker, with the former seemingly set up as the protagonist of the anime series.
Likewise, episode 1 should also see the group get “iskeai’d” into this fantastical world where the series will seemingly be set. In turn, Amanda Waller and the A.R.G.U.S. group should also be introduced, hinting at the possible ulterior motives for sending the eponymous gang on their mission.
