A proper crossover between updates on The Boys season 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 finale showcased that Homelander no longer strictly needs to rely on Vought or the Seven, though several have ed his cause. Sam Riordon (Asa Germann) and Cate Dunlap (Maddie Phillips) from Gen V's Godolkien 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 in Gen V a more likely and more exciting possibility as the two groups come to a head.

Fukuhara's iration for Gen V makes a possible cameo from her character in The Boys even more likely and exciting for audiences. Fukuhara spoke about the finale of The Boys at 2024's D23 , expressing her shock at the fact that her character spoke for the first time in the series. She went on to express her love of Gen V and praised Germann and Phillips' performances, as their characters' actions led to that pivotal moment for Kimiko in season 4.

Gen V is set to return in 2025, and the spinoff show appears 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 ed Homlander'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 in Gen V season 2, as both series end in similar places.

Kimiko could appear as a new ally to the Gen V protagonists in season 2, as both groups ended their seasons in captivity, allowing them to meet and possibly break out together. Gen V's season 1 ending showcased Marie (Jaz Sinclair) and her friends trapped inside a doorless room, with the implication that they were captured by Vought after the season's events. If this is true, then Kimiko could make a cameo in season 2, as the captured of The Boys could be held in the same facility.

From there, Kimiko could ask Marie and her friends to help and act as a surprise weapon against Homelander's supe army, allowing The Boys and Gen V to collide in a true superhero standoff.

The two groups could find a way to communicate with each other, with Kimiko being the go-between due to her own abilities. She could find that Marie and her friends are much like The Boys in their anger at Homelander, allowing the two groups to combine forces to break out of the Vought facility. From there, Kimiko could ask Marie and her friends to help and act as a surprise weapon against Homelander's supe army, allowing The Boys and Gen V to collide in a true superhero standoff.
