Gen V
A proper crossover betweenThe BoysandGen Vneeds to happen after Karen Fukuhara, the actress who played Kimiko, hyped up the latter series.
After the climatic events ofThe Boysseason 4, the future of the group is nail-bitingly unclear as the series enters its final season.Though there have been a fewupdates onThe Boysseason 5, details on the story have been few and far between as Homelander (Antony Starr) gathers more supes for his army and stages his takeover.
The Boys’season 4 finaleshowcased that Homelander no longer strictly needs to rely on Vought or the Seven, though several members have joined his cause.Sam Riordon (Asa Germann) and Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips) fromGen V’sGodolkien University played an instrumental role in capturing The Boys, highlighting the scope of Homelander’s influence.
That cameo alongside Fukuhara’s enthusiasm over the spinoff series makes the possibility of a Kimiko cameo inGen Va more likely and more exciting possibility as the two groups come to a head.

Gen V is set to return in 2025, and the spinoff show seems to be setting up its own version of The Boys' biggest rivalry, Homelander vs. Butcher.
Season 4’s finale revealed that Sam and Cate had joinedHomlander’s supe army.As The Boys were rounded up during their attempt to escape, Cate used her abilities to make Frenchie (Tomer Capone) forget Kimiko, allowing him to leave unscathed.
This leads to Kimiko’s first spoken lines in the show as she calls out for Frenchie to come back as she is being restrained.The Boys’season 4 ending not only gave audiences this exciting and heartbreaking development but also easily allowed Kimiko to appear inGen Vseason 2, as both series end in similar places.
