The Plot

The anime is set in a fantastical Sekai (Alternate World) that holds the notorious Suicide Squad. Inspired by the reputation of crime-infested Gotham City, Amanda Waller, now in control of A.R.G.U.S., makes her team from an array of the most notorious criminals ever to grace the pages of DC Comics: Harley Quinn, Deadshot, Peacemaker, Clayface and King Shark. Through a port opened by this alien planet comes a blade that finds its mark in the middle of Earth eventually opening a portal to another world teeming with orcs and dragons.

When inside the borders the Squad is arrested and put behind bars by the army of the Kingdom. They have only 72 hours until the bombs in their necks are detonated. To be free, they must bargain and agree with the kingdom’s queen, Eldora, to escape the hostile Imperial forces.
