Suicide Squad Isekai episode 7 recap

Suicide Squad Isekai episode 7 began with a brief flashback to Joker and Harley discussing an upcoming heist, which appeared to be the one they pulled at the start of the series. The focus then returned to the present, where Harley and co. were dismayed to see a fortress established at the portal’s location. They realized that Katana and The Thinker were there, trying to come up with a plan as Harley remembered the Joker’s words and offered advice.

Peacemaker immediately began drawing up a plan, clearly inspired by the story Harley shared. First, King Shark took Clayface to the stronghold, where he disguised himself as The Thinker and distracted Katana. Rick Flag then drew the attention of the Elven guards, luring them away from the fortress. Peacemaker then began torturing an elf King Shark brought him, causing the other elves to feel its pain and rush towards him, with King Shark and Harley fighting them.

Harley then got the signal to attack The Thinker, eventually beating him after turning his own psychic attack around on him. This led to the elves being set free, with Katana killing The Thinker as the fortress fell. She then had a long fight with Harley, which the latter was about to win before Katana escaped with The Thinker’s severed head. The episode ended with Queen Aldora left utterly enraged at their win, ordering the squad to be brought to her dead or alive.

What to expect from Suicide Squad Isekai episode 8? (speculative)

Suicide Squad Isekai episode 8 will likely open with the titular group already having an audience with Queen Aldora, which should reveal why she is so upset at their victory. This will likely be revealed as that she doesn’t actually want to win the war, instead somehow benefiting from drawing it out and the endless violence and bloodshed it likewise creates.

Episode 8 will likely see Princess Fione hear this as she’s eavesdropping, bursting in to argue with her mother passionately after learning this. The heartless Aldora will likely order everyone, including her daughter, killed here and now. Cecil will likely die defending Fione, but give her and the titular group a chance to escape as the episode ends.
