The first three episodes of Suicide Squad Isekai, animated by Attack on Titan and Spy x Family studio WIT, are finally streaming on Max. While some fans were on the fence about giving the DC Comics show a shot, the show’s catchy ending theme, which features Amanda Waller breaking out her best dance moves, shocked fans to the point of giving the show a watch.

Suicide Squad Isekai’s ending theme, Go-Getters by Vtuber Mori Calliope, shows the DC villains Harley Quinn, Peacemaker Clayface, Deadshot, Rick Flag, and King Shark engaging in a dazzling dance-off. As far as fans were concerned, the sextet’s synchronized dance moves were literally and figuratively overshadowed by Waller stepping onto the scene and cutting up a rug while striking excentric poses like she was in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure.
Suicide Squad Isekai’s ending theme continues a prevailing trend of titular heroes in comic book adaptations like She-Hulk: Attorney At Law and Peacemaker break out their best dance moves. The former of which had star Tatiana Maslany dub her twerking scene with Megan Thee Stallion as the greatest moment in her career. Shortly following the premiere, fans took to social media to react to Waller’s dance break. Here are some of our favorite reactions.

Suicide Squad Isekai was first announced at Anime Expo 2023. The series follows the titular DC villains on a treacherous mission in a fantasy world linked to Gotham, where “swords and magic where orcs rampage and dragons rule the skies.”Somewhere along the way, the team is imprisoned by soldiers and must earn their freedom by liberating the fantasy land from an imperial army. In typical Suicide Squad fashion, if the team fails to complete their mission within 72 hours, Waller will detonate the bombs she placed in her necks. The jury is out on whether she’ll hit the Dougie while doing so.
