The Boysseason 4 endedon a terrifying note, with The Boys failing to stop Homelander’s plan to gain power over the White House. In the finale, both Robert Singer and Victoria Neuman are ousted from office, with the supe-aligned Speaker of the House becoming President. Through his influence,Homelander manages to get the President to deputize a massive number of Vought’s supes, creating a police state where Homelander and his supe goons can carry out martial law.Gen Vseason 2 will see this storyline continued, albeit from the perspective of Marie and her friends from Godolkin.
10 Big Questions After The Boys Season 4’s Ending
The Boys season 4 leaves a number of important questions unanswered, setting up an explosive and dangerous concluding fifth season.
Homelander Could Have Kimiko Sent To The Supe Detainment Facility From Gen V
Where Else Would He Be Taking Her?
One of the biggest mysteries from theend ofGen Vseason 1has to do with the detainment of the main cast of characters.Marie and her friends wake up to find themselves in a mysterious jail cell at the end of season 1, with them not knowing where they are.The Boysseason 4 interestingly parallels this ending, with The Boys all getting arrested as well. While most of The Boys who are arrested are normal humans, the supes also manage to nab Kimiko, meaning that an encounter between her and theGen Vcast is likely.
Since Kimiko is a rebellious supe, Homelander would undoubtedly want to put her in a detainment facility that can withstand her powers. So, it is entirely possible that Kimiko could be put in the same prison as Marie and herGen Vfriends, putting the main characters from both shows in the same vicinity. This is incredibly exciting forGen Vseason 2, as it sets up the perfect way for Kimiko to cross paths with these characters inGen V’s most significantThe Boyscrossover yet.

The irreverent superhero series The Boys is returning for its fifth season on Amazon Prime Video, but The Boys season 5 is also the last.
Kimiko’s Arrest Sets Up The Perfect Way For Her To Meet Gen V’s Characters
They Could Work Together To Escape
Kimiko undoubtedly wants to escape prison in order to rescue her human friends, and Marie and the Godolkin gang want to escape prison in order to help take down Vought. So,Kimiko meeting theGen Vcast would allow her to explain the development ofThe Boysseason 4, encouraging them to escape even more. Following this, Kimiko could team up with theGen Vcharacters in order to stage a supe prison break. Thepowers of theGen Vcastcombined with Kimiko’s experience from being on The Boys means that, by working together, they could pull this off.
Having Kimiko meet theGen Vcharacters in this way would be a big deal forThe Boysseason 5 as well.The Boys are always looking to recruit supes to their side, which is why they’ve worked with characters like Kimiko, Starlight, and A-Train. Having the entirety ofGen V’s main cast join them in their fight against Homelander would be a big deal, and Kimiko’s potential encounter with them inGen Vseason 2 could be the bridge that allows them to appear inThe Boysseason 5.

Homelander has established an official supe army in The Boys season 4 finale, and here is every supe who is on the team in the final montage.
Could Kimiko Actually Appear In Gen V Season 2?
Based On Season 1’s Cameos, Kimiko and Frenchie Could Make An Appearance
SinceGen Vis a spinoff ofThe Boys, some may be doubtful that a majorThe Boyscharacter like Kimiko could play such a big role in season 2. However, it is pretty likely.Gen Vseason 1 featured some major cameos, withHomelander, Billy Butcher, Grace Mallory, Ashley Barrett, and moreappearing in the spinoff. Some of these characters are even bigger deals than Kimiko, so it is entirely possible that she could be featured early inGen Vseason 2.
Soldier Boy returns inThe Boysseason 4, meaning thatGen Vseason 2 could finally pay off season 1’s Cate gag.
The bigger question has to do with whether Kimiko would be able to play such a big role. Having Kimiko break out of prison and set off to find The Boys would makeGen Vessential viewing forThe Boysseason 5. However, this was already the case withGen Vseason 1, as things like the supe virus and Cate and Sam’s appearance inThe Boyswouldn’t have made sense without the spinoff providing context. So, there is nothing in the way of Kimiko appearing inGen VafterThe Boysseason 5 finale.
