Suicide Squad Isekai: Episode 7 Recap

The seventh episode of Suicide Squad Isekai opened with a short flashback to Joker and Harley’s conversation about an upcoming heist, which seemed to be the same one they had carried out at the beginning of the series. The story then shifted back to the present, where Harley and her team were shocked to see a fortress built at the portal’s site. They soon discovered that both Katana and The Thinker were present, strategizing for a plan, and Harley recalled the Joker’s advice, offering her own guidance.

Upon hearing Harley’s story, Peacemaker wasted no time in devising a strategy. The first step involved King Shark escorting Clayface to the stronghold, where he cleverly disguised himself as The Thinker and successfully diverted Katana’s attention. Meanwhile, Rick Flag created a diversion to distract the Elven guards and draw them away from the fortress. Taking advantage of the chaos, Peacemaker proceeded to torture an elf brought to him by King Shark, causing the other elves to feel its agony and rush towards him. In the midst of the commotion, King Shark and Harley valiantly fought off the oncoming elves.

After receiving the signal to attack, Harley was able to defeat The Thinker by using his own psychic attack against him. As a result, the elves were freed and The Thinker was killed by Katana as the fortress crumbled. Harley and Katana engaged in a lengthy battle, with Harley on the verge of victory before Katana escaped with The Thinker’s head. The episode concluded with Queen Aldora seething in anger and ordering the squad to be captured either dead or alive.

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

The eighth episode of Suicide Squad Isekai is expected to begin with the titular group already in the presence of Queen Aldora. This will likely unveil the reason behind her distress over their victory. It is likely that she does not actually desire to win the war, but rather gains some sort of benefit from prolonging it and the constant cycle of violence and bloodshed it brings.

In Episode 8, it is highly possible that Princess Fione will overhear this information while eavesdropping. This will prompt her to burst in and passionately argue with her heartless mother, Aldora. It is likely that Aldora will order the execution of everyone present, including her own daughter. In an act of bravery, Cecil will sacrifice himself while trying to protect Fione, giving her and the rest of the titular group a chance to escape as the episode comes to an end.
