Development According to Hiroyuki Ōmori in a July 2023 interview, he recalled around three/four years that Warner Bros. Japan pitched the idea of an anime from an existing DC comic title and approached Wit Studio if they were interested. He later said the following year in an interview with Newtype Japan that development on the anime began after the first Suicide Squad film was released.
Marketing To promote the anime, an "Isekai Great Villain Violent Party" was held at AnimeJapan in March 2024.
In December 2023, the first official trailer was released. In June 2024, a 30-second trailer was released online. A webtoon version was released the following month through Line Manga and Jump Toon.
