What Is ‘Suicide Squad Isekai’ About?
For those unfamiliar with the Suicide Squad concept, it revolves around a team of supervillains or antiheroes recruited by government agencies for high-risk missions. Led by the formidable Amanda Waller, these individuals, often with extraordinary abilities or skills, find themselves on the wrong side of the law.

Micro-bombs implanted in them ensure compliance and eliminate any thoughts of betrayal.
Now, enter the isekai twist. While specific plot details for Suicide Squad Isekai are still under wraps, the nature of the genre suggests a fantastical journey awaits.
