Suicide Squad Isekai

Amanda Waller, head of A.R.G.U.S., puts together an unlikely team of criminals and sends them through a mysterious gate that links Gotham to a brutal fantasy world. Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface and King Shark are given a mission that ordinary forces can't tackle, and they quickly discover this other realm runs on swords and sorcery. Dragons dominate the skies, orc warbands roam the land, and the rules of combat and allegiance are foreign to gun-centric antiheroes. The show follows their clashes, uneasy alliances and dark humor as they adapt their tactics and personalities to survive long enough to try to complete the job.

Suicide Squad Isekai premiered in 2024, created by Eiji Umehara and Tappei Nagatsuki. The anime-style series leans on a Japanese production approach and stars Anna Nagase, Reigo Yamaguchi, Takehito Koyasu, Jun Fukuyama and Subaru Kimura in the principal voice roles.

As of late 2024 the series hadn’t won major industry awards, so it didn’t make big waves at mainstream ceremonies. It did pick up attention in fan circles and genre-focused outlets, with particular praise aimed at the voice cast and the bold genre crossover concept.

The mash-up of DC antiheroes and isekai conventions sparked steady online conversation, inspiring fan art, crossover cosplay and a stream of reaction videos. Viewers debated how familiar comic book personalities translate into anime tropes, and the show helped introduce some Western characters to audiences more used to light novels and fantastical RPG-style settings.

Audience response settled in the positive range, with a 7.4/10 user score from 92 votes. Reviews highlighted strong action scenes, playful tonal contrasts and memorable voice work, while criticizing occasional pacing and plotting lapses. Central themes include loyalty under pressure, blurred moral lines among so-called heroes, and the comic friction that comes when modern weaponry meets medieval magic.
